Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1523: Chapter 1525: Something’s Off!

Jiang Lei’s head was lowered very low.

He was waiting for the God’s criticism!

The servants outside inadvertently caught a glimpse of this scene, each of them utterly astonished.

”What’s wrong with the Family Head?!”

”Yeah, even if the other person is a benefactor, it shouldn’t be like this!”

”Perhaps it’s a cultivator?”

”What’s so special about a cultivator? Isn’t the city lord a cultivator too, and yet we haven’t seen our Family Head being so respectful!”

”...”

”Shut up, keep an eye on the gate, what do you know?” The old Lu family servant stepped out and reprimanded.

He certainly knew why!

Cultivator?!

No, a cultivator doesn’t even come close to the status of this God.

He’d lived a lifetime and never heard of anyone who could casually increase spirit roots, such a person is far more worthy of respect than any cultivator!

However, the scene inside the hall was quite different.

”Showing off your knife skills in front of Guan Gong?” Lu Xiaobu frowned, tilting his head: ”Do you know Guan Gong?”

Is there a Guan Gong in this world too?!

Is it the Guan Yu in his memory, or someone else?!

”Guan Gong, it’s Guan Yu, also known as Guan Er Ye.” Jiang Lei was somewhat puzzled.

Why would the God be interested in this?!

But since the God asked, he would answer!

”Come, sit down, and tell me in detail. I’m clueless when it comes to history.” Lu Xiaobu’s interest grew, quickly inviting Jiang Lei to sit down.

”Alright.” Jiang Lei promptly sat down.

He understood that this God might be the reclusive type, thus, unclear about many things.

”Speaking of this matter, I can’t help but mention that brutal world.” Jiang Lei sighed at the mention.

”Brutal world?” Lu Xiaobu frowned.

”Yes, the brutal world. God should be aware that there are many small worlds on this planet which, once reaching a certain level, can interact with each other; many powerful figures even control small worlds under their command.”

”This is the norm, and universally recognized because our world is the primary world!”

Jiang Lei expounded calmly.

”However, there is one small world that stands out. Not only has it not been controlled by us, but it often stirs up storms!”

”We call this small world the Dragon Realm, also known as the Demon Realm.”

”The people in the Dragon Realm are immensely powerful; Guan Gong is one of them.”

Lu Xiaobu listened, twitching at the corners of his mouth.

Dragon Realm? Demon Realm?

Is it actually their world?

How brutal is that?

”Don’t doubt me, God. The clearest thing I remember is Bai Qi, known as the God of Killing, who proved the Dao through killing, and slaughtered over four hundred thousand people, wiping out an entire island; even thinking about it is terrifying!”

Jiang Lei mentioned this, and Lu Xiaobu couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

Enough, confirmed!

Bai Qi, oh Bai Qi, you slaughtered four hundred thousand there, and now you’re here to slaughter another four hundred thousand?

That’s eight hundred thousand altogether!

Suddenly, he thought of something: ”Now, are there any Dragon Realm people still alive?”

A cultivator’s lifespan is indeed very long.

If these ancient figures had succeeded in cultivation and lived till now, it would be a major event!

”Apparently not, strangely enough, after arriving here, the Dragon Realm people would disappear suddenly after a while.” Jiang Lei shook his head.

Then, he chuckled bitterly: ”Precisely because of this, our world can still exist! Otherwise, the Dragon Realm would have unified this place long ago!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu frowned.

What? Disappear suddenly after a period of time?

Why?

There’s something odd about this!

”And this situation persisted for many years, until over 400 years ago, when it all ended, and the passage to the Dragon Realm was sealed!” Jiang Lei continued bitterly.

”Over 400 years ago?” Lu Xiaobu squinted.

Was it the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty?

”Yes, over 400 years ago.” Jiang Lei affirmed.

Lu Xiaobu fell into contemplation, pondering what indeed happened back then?

Obviously, the Beast Head Bronze Statue originally belonged to Yuanming Garden, and Yuanming Garden belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

There’s an issue here, and it’s a big one!

The termination time might just pass, but the most crucial issue is just now; why do they leave after staying for a period?

That’s not right!

Not to mention others, just talk about Qin Shi Huang!

If he knew about this place, he’d certainly prepare for war, unifying it!

Though, simultaneously one of Lu Xiaobu’s questions was answered.

That’s why people here speak Chinese.

The reason is simple, these guys once experienced a period dominated by the descendants of Yan Huang!

Thinking about it, isn’t it funny?

Everyone else’s worlds invade their own, whereas, here they directly became the hosts.

Listen to these terms, Dragon Realm, Demon Realm!

Though it seems rather normal too, see, Lin Feng and he themselves came here again!

Cough, cough, pity this place for three seconds!

”Enough, let’s not talk about this.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said.

However, his heart was set on getting to the bottom of this!

Yes, he must investigate thoroughly!

”Alright.” Jiang Lei followed obediently, then pulled out a box: ”Benefactor, this is a small token of appreciation from me, I do hope you won’t refuse.”

”What’s inside?” Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Two spirit stones, our Jiang family has not had a cultivator for many years, so resources are scarce, I hope you won’t mind! I will think of ways as soon as possible!” Jiang Lei expressed with a face full of shame.

This benefactor is a God and naturally wouldn’t be interested in mundane things.

Yet, with no cultivator in the family, they indeed have nothing prepared for this.

He searched through their entire treasury only to find mundane items.

Only these two spirit stones, left by some ancestor, could be presented.

Although he was well aware that these two spirit stones didn’t compare to two spirit roots.

He had no choice!

Eventually, he came over with determination!

Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows - the legendary spirit stones?

Therefore, he immediately opened the box.

Indeed, they were two stones.

The color a bit like milky stones, but this milk seemed to have gone bad, appearing gray.

”I do hope the benefactor can understand!” Jiang Longjun also chuckled bitterly.

Their family indeed lacked things in this regard.

After all, with no cultivator even in the family, who would prepare such things?

It’s not only useless but potentially incriminating.

Yet, when it really comes to use, it’s truly regrettable to have so few!

”It’s alright, it’s alright.” Lu Xiaobu waved it off.

He felt it didn’t matter, perhaps even a bit delighted.

He doesn’t know how to use this now, it’s merely for novelty.

One piece or a hundred pieces makes no difference.

Seeing Lu Xiaobu’s demeanor, Jiang Lei and Jiang Longjun exchanged glances, both let out a breath of relief.

As long as they didn’t anger the God!

At this moment, a commotion arose at the entrance.

Jiang Lei’s expression changed at once—damn it! Came so quickly?! This Wu Wei reacted extraordinarily fast!

What to do? The gifts Wu Wei would bring are certainly better and more than his!

Yet, he couldn’t really block him, that would offend the God!
