Chapter 2010: Chapter 2009: You’re Not Strong Enough
"Why should I agree?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted, carelessly exhaling a puff of smoke.
Tianqing Zi’s gaze sharpened. He had considered countless possibilities, envisioned countless excuses Zhang Xiaohao might come up with, but he hadn’t thought of this one. Staring at the giant panda in Zhang Xiaohao’s hand, he said, "Give me one."
"You mean this?" Zhang Xiaohao shook the giant panda in his hand.
"Yes." Tianqing Zi nodded.
"Alright." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
With a flip of his right hand, he took out a giant panda and tossed it over.
Tianqing Zi caught the giant panda, curiously looking at this thing in his hand. It was light and soft, as if it could be crushed with a little force.
He took a sniff, a faint fragrance emanating from the giant panda.
Immediately, his tense mood seemed to relax all at once.
"This is good stuff! It actually has a refreshing effect! If one uses this while cultivating, there’s no need to worry about going berserk!" Tianqing Zi said seriously.
"You’re not the second person to say that!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
"Such good stuff is hard for ordinary people to get from you! I suppose that person must be very distinguished!" Tianqing Zi said.
"Yes." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Hei Wuchang does indeed hold a noble status, a True Spirit of the Black Dragon Clan, a half-step Mahayana Realm expert, with a Wind Element Principle Silk. Even without borrowing the three Mystic Sky Treasures on Zhang Xiaohao, Tianqing Zi couldn’t handle him! Because the Wind Element Principle Silk is just too extraordinary.
Moreover, aside from the Wind Element Principle Silk, Hei Wuchang also possesses Space Law Talent and Water Element Law Talent. While not a Child of Space in Space Law Talent, he is a Child of Water Element Laws in Water Element Law Talent. Combining the three laws, his combat power is unparalleled!
Tianqing Zi remained silent, clasping his hands, and a purple flame appeared at his fingertip, lighting the giant panda. Then, imitating Zhang Xiaohao, he took a hard puff.
Cough, cough, cough!!!
Instantly, the thick smoke made him cough violently.
"You need to take it easy with this stuff! If you smoke like that the first time, you’ll definitely choke." Zhang Xiaohao advised.
"Yes." For once, Tianqing Zi’s old face blushed. With his Peak of Middle Mahayana cultivation, he had gotten choked by this tiny thing he was smoking. If word got out, wouldn’t it completely destroy his reputation?
Under Zhang Xiaohao’s guidance, he slowed down his pace and began to smoke.
A cultivator at the Mahayana Realm indeed possesses extraordinary talent, even quickly grasping the art of smoking.
On his second try, Tianqing Zi already mastered the rhythm of smoking, puffing clouds and blowing smoke easily.
"Tell me! Why don’t you want to take me as your teacher? I’m a Peak of Middle Mahayana cultivator! My combat power is so strong that even facing a Late Mahayana cultivator, I can fight to a draw! Even if a Mahayana Peak cultivator wants to stop me from leaving, he can’t! Moreover, the Cultivation Technique I practice is extremely powerful; it’s one of the ten sacred texts of the Bi Mu Divine Race! Besides, my Tianqing Giant City is rich in resources, piled up like mountains! As long as you nod, cultivation techniques, resources, etc., will be open to you, enough to push you to the Mahayana Realm in the shortest time!" Tianqing Zi said confidently.
"You’re too weak, not qualified to be my master!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
Cough, cough, cough!!!
Hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, Tianqing Zi was choked again, just like earlier. He had thought of many possibilities, but never that Zhang Xiaohao would say he was too weak to be his master, almost choking him out of breath.
Coming back to his senses, Tianqing Zi looked at Zhang Xiaohao with mild annoyance.
"You said this City Lord is too weak? Do you know I’m a Peak of Middle Mahayana cultivator! Also, the City Lord of Tianqing Giant City, and the Family Head of the Tianqing Family this generation! I’m of noble status, and you still say this City Lord is too weak?" Tianqing Zi exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Yes! Is there something wrong with that?" Zhang Xiaohao responded earnestly.
Looking at Zhang Xiaohao’s serious demeanor, Tianqing Zi thought carefully and at last, all his insistence turned into a sigh.
"You’re right! I’m indeed not strong enough!" Tianqing Zi said seriously.
"Then how about this old man, am I strong enough?" Suddenly, a very aged voice rang out.
Whoosh!
As the voice fell, a figure flashed and sat on the stone bench next to Tianqing Zi. It was none other than Tianqing True Monarch.
"Late Stage Mahayana Peak? Still not strong enough!" Zhang Xiaohao shook his head.
Pfft!!!
Tianqing True Monarch spat out a mouthful of wine, thankfully spraying it into the air.
"What did you say? This old man is not strong enough? I am a Late Stage Mahayana Peak cultivator! Practically standing with one foot on the pinnacle of this world!" Tianqing True Monarch said irritatedly.
"Among the Top 100 Races, can you rank in the top thousand?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"No!" Tianqing True Monarch thought carefully and said.
"How about ten thousand?" Zhang Xiaohao asked again.
"Perhaps!" Tianqing True Monarch wasn’t even sure himself.
"See, even ten thousand is perhaps, and you call that strong? Counting those reclusive old monsters that don’t come out, you probably can’t even rank in the ten thousand!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Enough with the nonsense, I will ask you this, is this old man qualified to take you as an apprentice?" Tianqing True Monarch asked.
"Not qualified!!!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
"Fine! Let’s pretend this old man never said that! Give me one of those little sticks you were smoking earlier; I want to see how they taste." Tianqing True Monarch said.
"Alright!" Zhang Xiaohao agreed.
He took out another giant panda and tossed it over, noticing Tianqing Zi’s eager gaze, he tossed one to him as well.
The three again engaged in smoking merrily.
"Kid, aren’t you afraid that this old man will forcefully keep you here?" Tianqing True Monarch asked lazily, exhaling smoke.
"You can try it!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled slightly.
"Interesting! This old man likes young people like you!" Tianqing True Monarch praised.
"Hahaha—!" Zhang Xiaohao laughed heartily.
"Secondly, this City Lord betrothed my daughter Ning’er to you, so why are you unwilling? Is it that my daughter is not beautiful enough? Or is it something else?" Tianqing Zi asked again.
"I don’t want to discuss this topic!" Zhang Xiaohao said, gazing at the sky.
In his heart, there was only one wife, and that was Cheng Tianxue!!!
