Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

“A trade off? Heh, hahaha!”

All 12 priests burst out into laughter.

The five white-haired old priests looked at Chen Xiaobei like he was an ignorant little child.

The other seven middle-aged priests also broke into laughter.

“Hey, little guy! Do you know who you’re talking to? You should feel lucky that we were even willing to come out and ask you questions!”

“You want to trade with us? Heh! Who do you think you are?”

“You should know that trespassing our place is already a crime punishable by death! How dare you try and bargain with us! You are so naïve!”

“You better be a good lamb and answer Seventh priest’s question. If he loses his patience, he could squash the both of you with his pinky!”

These 12 priests were, without a question, very powerful beings – even more so than the Elders of South Star Temple in Atlantis!

They did not hold anything personal grudges against Chen Xiaobei but they saw the people of earth as weak, tiny ants.

In their minds, they were stronger than everyone else. Hence, their disregard for Chen Xiaobei.

Luo Puti was on her toes and her forehead and hands began to sweat profusely.

On the other hand, Chen Xiaobei remained cool as a cucumber.

“Hey kid! Open your mouth and talk! What is it? You got tongue tied?” Seventh priest barked.

Chen Xiaobei pretended not to have heard him and did not react.

“You fool!” Seventh priest’s anger was fuelled.

“What are you doing acting all high and mighty in front of us? Are you tired of living? If that’s the case, let me send you on your way!”

The Seventh priest felt challenged by Chen Xiaobei. The moment he roared, his powerful aura came crashing at Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti like a tsunami.

Luo Puti could feel the pressure against her chest, all colors drained from her face.

Chen Xiaobei remained unfazed. He stepped protectively in front Luo Puti. His fortitude had been honed, and was a thousand times stronger than most people’s.

No matter how scary Seventh priest’s power was, Chen Xiaobei would not even bat an eyelid.

He remained silent; there was not a single trace of fear on his face.

The corner of seventh priest’s mouth twitched; his eyes burning with rage.

He had thought that he could scare Chen Xiaobei into submission.

But no matter what he did, Chen Xiaobei remained unfazed.

All the other eleven priests looked surprised.

The Great priest especially, did not understand how such a young earthling was able to withstand the Seventh priest’s powerful aura.

This young man really was something. Even at such a young age, he was unperturbed by anything. That was very unusual for someone his age. He was like an elite who had been around for centuries.

Only those who had gone through a lot of experience could remain calm in moments like these.

The surprised look on the others’ faces only added to Seventh priest’s exasperation.

The fact that he was unable to make this weak earthling quiver before him in front of the other 11 priests was so humiliating!

“You piece of shit! You want to play stubborn with me?” Seventh priest felt as if he had lost all his dignity. “Then let’s see if your bones or my fist is tougher!”

“Xiaobei!” Luo Puti cried out, one hand on Chen Xiaobei and the other hand on the Returning Bracelet.

The enemy was just too strong. If a confrontation broke out suddenly, Luo Puti would escape with Chen Xiaobei.

Chen Xiaobei appeared calm, but inside he was also worried that the enemy might be too strong for him.

He was also uncertain if the Ultimate Protective Puppet was enough to block his opponent’s attack.

More importantly, once the Returning Bracelet was activated, the opened portal would need a few minutes before closing up; it had sufficient time for the enemy to go through after them. The consequences of that happening would be extremely severe.

“Elder Seventh!” The Great priest suddenly spoke up. “There’s no need to be so fierce. A valiant young man like that is a rare thing. Let him entertain us. It would be such a shame to kill him!”

“Yes! Please advice on what we should do, Great priest!” Seventh priest quickly withdrew his powerful aura and returned to his spot obediently.

“Little guy! You are pretty stubborn!” the Great priest smiled. “I’m willing to make the trade! But not question for a question! You said that you had two Spiritual Items that you used to destroy the Thousand Spirit Formation. Give one to Elder Seventh, then you can ask him a question! If you give both of them, you can ask two questions. What is it going to be?”

When Chen Xiaobei said nothing in return, Luo Puti began to panic.

“Elder! Could we change one of the conditions?” Luo Puti said. “This is my problem to handle. My boyfriend is just escorting me. Please lay out the conditions that I could meet! I will do anything and everything!”

“Shut up! Our Great priest is already being very generous! Don’t try to take advantage of that! Do you want to die?!” Seventh priest barked.

“Great priest, I accept your conditions! I am willing to take out both Spiritual Items!” Chen Xiaobei finally spoke out.

“Xiaobei, how could you agree to that?” Luo Puti was fretful.

Spiritual Items were rare on earth, and Chen Xiaobei’s two Spiritual Items were more valuable than the regular Spiritual Items!

Only a fool would use the two Spiritual Items to exchange for two questions!

“Puti, get behind me, and don’t interrupt.”

Chen Xiaobei had already decided not to deceive them, and took out the Hundred Ghost Parade painting and Asura Divine Mirror.

The 12 priests were too powerful! Even with the Returning Bracelet and Ultimate Protective Puppet, Chen Xiaobei could not guarantee that they could escape in one piece.

Chen Xiaobei only had one choice – which was to take out the Spiritual Items, and hope that the other party fulfils their end of the deal, get Luo Puti’s long-cherished wish fulfilled, and then head for the hills. That would be the best outcome.

“Elder Seventh, go ahead. Your answer is in that kid’s hand!” Great priest said.

“Alright! I want to see what’s so great about these two Spiritual Items that they could break my Formation!”

Seventh priest walked up to Chen Xiaobei and grabbed the two Spiritual Items.

Luo Puti bit down on her lip. She did not think Chen Xiaobei would be so willing to sacrifice so much for her!

Endearment aside, Luo Puti blamed herself, and decided that she was going to make it up to Chen Xiaobei.

“Great priest, can I ask the questions now?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Yes, you can.”

The Great priest bobbed his head.

“I want to ask, a few years ago, were there a pair of young couple…” Chen Xiaobei began.

He had barely even started asking the question and the Great priest turned to the two priests and began chatting. The other priests gathered around Seventh priest and began inspecting the two Spiritual Items. They acted as if Chen Xiaobei had not spoken.

Chen Xiaobei was devastated after seeing that. He had been short-changed!
