Ding! “Congratulations to Host Xu Que for killing a powerhouse at the Half-Celestial Stage. You have been rewarded with 3 million experience points!”

Ding! “Congratulations to Host Xu Que for killing a powerhouse at the Half-Celestial Stage. You have been rewarded with 3 million experience points!”

Ding! “As the host has not undergone the 89 Heavenly Tribulations, the 6 million experience points obtained will be automatically deposited into the Experience Depository!”

The System notifications rang in Xu Que’s mind. Xu Que’s eyes shone brilliantly, as he was immensely pleased with the news. He’d gotten 6 million experience points! A whole 6 million!

You have to understand that killing a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator would have just given him 1 million experience points. Now, killing a powerhouse at the Half-Celestial Stage was equivalent to killing three Great Vehicle Stage cultivators. He was beyond thrilled.

“Tang Xuanzang of the…Exploding Heavens Faction?” Meanwhile, Bai Cailing was still shocked by Xu Que’s background. He looked at Xu Que with a mixture of shock and awe, “Are you the successor of the Xumi Sect? That can’t be. It was said that those who entered the Xumi Sect would need to shave their heads bald, light an incense above their heads, and burn on a ring scar. You have not done any of that!”

“Xumi Sect? No, no, no, I’ve said that I come from the Exploding Heavens Faction, not the Xumi Sect!” Xu Que laughed heartily. He was in an excellent mood.

“Why then would you know the Gautama Buddha Seal?” Bai Cailing asked.

Xu Que narrowed his eyes and smiled mischievously, “Take a guess!”

“…..” Bai Cailing scowled and shook her head, “How could I guess?”

“Make a bold guess! If you guess it correctly, I’ll do ‘it’ with you, he, he, he!” Xu Que made a famous hand sign popularized by Lewd Fei. He even put on a shameless expression that made anyone who looked at him want to give him a beating.

Bai Cailing was annoyed.She took a few deep breaths and strove to suppress her urge to beat Xu Que up.

“Forget it if you’re unwilling to share! Let’s go. We gotta move that mountain. It’s time for us to leave!”

Bai Cailing shook her head and let the issue go. She was now quite aware of Xu Que’s character. If he wanted to share, he would have long boasted about it without her asking. However, she had asked this question several times, but he danced around the question every single time. It was clear that he had no intention of telling them, so it was unnecessary and a waste of time to press on.

“Hold on!” Xu Que stretched out his hands and stopped Bai Cailing. He scanned her from head to toe and asked smilingly, “Miss Cabbage, you still owe me 16 Celestial Artifacts, don’t you? Why don’t we clear up that payment first?”

“Let’s do it another day!” Bai Cailing shifted uneasily and avoided Xu Que’s gaze.

“Do it another day? That’s impossible! I won’t do it with someone of your looks!” Xu Que exclaimed warily.

“What are you talking about?” Bai Cailing did not understand what he was saying. She frowned. “I mean that we’ll discuss the issue about the Celestial Artifacts after we settle the issue with the Refined Moon Palace!”

“That won’t do, what if you renege on your debt? How about this, let’s write an IOU first!” Xu Que redeemed a Gold Paper from the System store and passed it to Bai Cailing. Bai Cailing’s expression became stormy at once, but seemed hesitant.

An IOU?

What kind of joke was that? She, the high and honorable Jade Lake Saint, would be the laughingstock of the World of Near Celestials should the news get out! She would embarrass the entire Jade Lake!

No way, she would never sign the IOU!

With that thought, Bai Cailing turned to Xu Que and said solemnly, “Wang…Master Tang, am I right? Why are you requesting an IOU? Don’t tell me that you think that the honorable Jade Lake Saint would go back on her word?”

“Yeah!” Xu Que looked at Bai Cailing in all seriousness and nodded straightforwardly.

Bai Cailing was stunned. She opened her mouth but could not spit out a word. She had never seen someone so straightforward in her life. He spared her nothing, what kind of man would do that!

Swoosh!

At the same time, Xu Que had gathered force on his fingertips. With his True Core Strength, he began to scribble on the Gold Paper. Confident and fluent, he quickly finished writing the IOU.

“Here you go, Miss Cabbage. Check if there’s anything wrong with the IOU. Sign it if you’re okay with it!” Xu Que offered the Gold Paper to Bai Cailing as he spoke.

Bai Cailing did not even spare a glance at the Gold Paper. She stared straight into Xu Que’s eyes and said, “Master Tang, is there really a need to do this?”

“Of course! Wow, don’t tell me that the holy and honorable Jade Lake Saint intends to go back on her word? I didn’t expect you to be someone like that!” Xu Que immediately showed a look of disdain.

“You…” Bai Cailing was furious. She pointed at Xu Que but was so angry that she couldn’t even spit out an answer. After all, she was the one who had been careless and underestimated Xu Que’s strength. That had caused her to fall into Xu Que’s traps, twice. Most important, now Xu Que was looking at her with an expression of disdain. It was as if he thought of her as of some lowly sects that would not honor their debts.

“Hmph! I’ll sign it, no big deal!” Bai Cailing’s temper flared and she immediately took the Gold Paper. A swipe of her fingertips and the signature was done.

“Don’t think that everybody’s as petty as you! We from the Jade Lake have not stooped so low that we would renege on our debts. Hmph, take it!” Bai Cailing threw the Gold Paper at Xu Que and turned to leave immediately. It was evident that she was very angry.

However, the truth was that she had calculated it all. She believed that Xu Que would not be able to enter the World of Near Celestial for a long time. Also, with his character, he might not even live to see that happen. Therefore, she wasn’t that worried about signing the IOU. Even if Xu Que made his way to the World of Near Celestial, she could always announce that she was going into Secluded Meditation and quietly steal back the IOU.

“Ho, Miss Cabbage is straightforward, indeed!” Xu Que took the Gold Paper and was secretly overjoyed. He didn’t expect Bai Cailing to actually sign it. After all, no one in their sane mind would sign that document after reading what was in it.

Xu Que’s lips curved into a smile and he opened the IOU. He read:

“I, Bai Cailing, owe the Exploding Heavens Faction 16 pieces of Celestial Artifact. Should my payment be late or reneged, I will add one Celestial Artifact per year as interest, or repay the debt with my body for 16 years and be his in heart, body, and soul! Xu Que reserves the right to explain all clauses of the IOU!”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is gonna be interesting!” Xu Que smiled as he put away the IOU in the storage of the System store as if it were some precious jewelry.

“Tang Xuanzang, why haven’t you gotten rid of the mountain? You’ve wasted enough time today.” A cold Bai Cailing snorted. She no longer had any positive feelings toward Xu Que. If not for the fact that they needed Xu Que to solve the final stage of the journey, she would’ve beaten him into a pulp a long time ago and never signed that IOU.

“I’m coming. I’m coming. Jeez, you’re so impatient, honey!” Xu Que quickly ran up and threw a seductive look at Bai Cailing in an absolutely shameless manner. He was asking for a beating indeed.

Bai Cailing felt shivers run down her spine and had goosebumps all over. She immediately took a step back and put some distance between them.

Xu Que did not mind at all. He walked toward the Five Elements Mountain and cast another magic spell. He chanted the incantation in his heart. A brilliant glow then emitted from his fingers.

Boom!

At that instant, the entire Five Elements Mountain shook vigorously. Then it began to shrink quickly. Within the span of a few minutes, the Five Elements Mountain was reduced to a ball of soil the size of a fist. With a muffled thud, it exploded into a ball of Earth Element Spiritual Qi and dissipated in the air.

The passageway opened. Elder Yu and Jiang Hongyan rushed in instantly. However, everyone was shocked to see two bodies lying on the ground.

Arwoof! “Those two bodies are such an eyesore. Let me clear them away for you!” Buttface suddenly exclaimed and pounced to the fore.

“Eh?” Xu Que waved his hand.

Swoosh!

The Storage Rings on the two bodies flew into the sky at once and became a flash of light that disappeared int Xu Que’s hands.

“F*ck!” Buttface cursed. “Young fellow, you’re too shrewd! You should have left at least one for me!”

“We’ll keep that for a later date. Now it’s time for some serious business!” Xu Que mimicked Bai Cailing’s expression and tone from before, strictly professional.

Bai Cailing’s face darkened at once and she let out a snort. She immediately led Elder Li and her other followers forward.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s leave quickly now that we’ve resolved most issues! Otherwise, my Heavenly Tribulations are going to happen in a few days. It would be troublesome if they clashed!” Xu Que smiled and wasted no more time. He called Jiang Hongyan and the others and they quickly followed Bai Cailing.
