“Finally! After 500 years, someone finally found the hidden treasure! Finally!” Tyrant Dragon King said excitedly, as if it had discovered the most valuable item in the world.
“My king, based on what your humble servant knows, the resources in the treasury holds only 1% of what the Overgrown Forest nobles had owned!” The rhinoceros said. “Over the course of 500 years, we’ve already gotten hold of 99% of them. Why does his highness place so much importance on this remaining 1%?”
“That’s because, there’s a special herbal medicine in the Overgrown Forest’s hidden treasure that can cure my curse!” Tyrant Dragon King said. “Then, I won’t have to answer to the Northern Wilderness Temple! Then I can roam freely in the universe! I’ve been waiting for this for 500 years!”
“Cure the curse?” The rhinoceros looked very excited. “If that’s the case, I will bring our people to slaughter the humans who found the treasury. We’ll bring back their storage bracelets to you!”
Tyrant Dragon King said, “This chance is one in a million! Bring as many people as you need. We cannot fail! Sneak up on them. Don’t give yourselves away and scare them off!”
“Don’t worry, my king!” the rhinoceros said. “They are competitors from the hunt. All are weaklings under 30 years old! If I fail, I will kill myself in front of you!”
“Good! If you succeed, I will make sure to reward you!” the Tyrant Dragon King said.
“Oh, right. Do I need to report this to your right and left hands?”
“There’s no need to do that!” Tyrant Dragon King said. “They are both cultivating in seclusion. Unless you succeed or fail, only then will we need to wake them up!”
“I understand! I’ll leave now! We will return victorious before sundown!” the rhinoceros said, and then exited the giant stone pyramid.
Outside the Overgrown Forest treasury.
Lu Changwei’s face was beaten black and blue, his front teeth were knocked out, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. He could barely stand.
Thankfully, he still had his group of lackeys.
Zhu Dachang tended to his wound, and decided on his behalf that once they had taken care of his injuries, they would leave the planet and return home.
Chen Xiaobei and the others gathered together and discussed their next move.
“I won’t be able to leave for at least 2 – 3 more days. Ximen Dingjun is not yet completely cured, and he won’t let me go,” Chen Xiaobei said.
“If that’s the case, I’ll send Muyue back!” Miao Yiyue said. “Without you around, it’ll be a lot of trouble if Muyue suddenly goes into a seizure! The thing I worry about the most is Ximen Dingjun. Once he’s cured, he will want to have Wenren Muyue!”
“I agree! Once Lady Wenren is back, she just needs to take her medication according to the prescription, and she should be fine!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“I won’t go!” Wenren Muyue said firmly. “What about you Mr. Chen? If you stay by Ximen Dingjun, this capricious asshole, your life will be in constant danger!”
“Don’t worry. It won’t be easy for Ximen Dingjun to kill me. I only need to hold out for another two days. He can never kill me, not in his entire lifetime!” Chen Xiaobei laughed confidently.
“Why is that? Is something about to happen after two days?” Wenren Muyue asked.
“I can’t reveal that. You’ll just have to trust me,” Chen Xiaobei said.
The truth was, that the new batch of Heavenly Dog Biscuits would only be ready in two days. Chen Xiaobei would then administer it it to Ximen Dingjun, and everything will go well.
“But I’m still worried,” Wenren Muyue said.
“You just said that I was a deity, but now you don’t trust me?” Chen Xiaobei chuckled.
“Er…” Wenren Muyue paused for a moment and then nodded, “Fine, I trust you! I will wait for you in Silver Plume City. I will be waiting for you! You have to come back in one piece!”
“Of course!” Chen Xiaobei grinned, and then changed the subject. “Young governor, what is your plan?”
Dong Xiaowu said, “Look. Master Qin, Master Wei and I have discussed and agreed that we will continue to join the competition. After all, the reward this time is just too good a deal to pass up on! We want to give it a try!”
“Reward?” Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow. “What reward?”
Qin Luo said, “First place will win a piece of Nine-star Spiritual Medicine, the Golden Purple Echeveria Lola! The second place –”
“Wait! What did you just say Golden Purple Echeveria Lola?” Chen Xiaobei asked, eyes wide open.
“Yes, the reward for the first place is the legendary Nine-star Spiritual Medicine, Golden Purple Echeveria Lola. Is there something wrong?” Qin Luo asked.
“Good! That’s great! That the final Spiritual Medicine we need for Mr. Wenren’s medication! If we get it, I can cure Lady Wenren completely within one month!”
“What?! Muyue can be cured completely? Mr. Chen, are you kidding?”
“I’m a doctor. I don’t joke about my patient’s illness!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“I trust Mr. Chen!” Wenren Muyue said. “I’ve seen that prescription. That medicine the last piece of the puzzle we need and we haven’t gotten it yet. My father has made use of all his contacts but he still couldn’t find it!”
Miao Yiyue frowned. “Even if what Mr, Chen says is true, the Golden Purple Echeveria Lola is the prize for first place! We can’t win first place!”
“Yeah!” Dong Xiaowu nodded. “The most outstanding young people of Northern Wilderness Starfield are in this Elite Hunting Competition! Silver Plume is only considered a second-rate planet. There are plenty of people who are much stronger than us!”
“It’s a matter of effort! I have to give it a try, no matter what!” Chen Xiaobei said.
This Golden Purple Echeveria Lola was extremely rare, and Wenren Muyue only have five months left to live!
Such opportunities only reared its head once in a lifetime. If they missed this chance, there might not be another!
“If that’s the case, none of us will be leaving! Let’s work hard together!” Miao Yiyue said.
“I agree! Everyone, let’s work as one! Let’s do this for Muyue! We will not give up until the final second!”
Dong Xiaowu rose to task.
“Alright then! Let’s fight together!” Qin Luo and Wei Ruolong joined in.
Wenren Muyue was very touched to see this. “Thank you! Thank you everyone!”
“There’s no need for that!” Miao Yiyue said. “Our biggest problem now is where we could find the Demonic Beasts! If we want to get first place, we have hunt as many high-tier Demonic Beasts as possible!”
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
All of a sudden, a loud sound came from afar, and the earth beneath them trembled.
“Finally! After 500 years, someone finally found the hidden treasure! Finally!” Tyrant Dragon King said excitedly, as if it had discovered the most valuable item in the world.
