I Might Be A Fake Cultivator
chapter-414

An Lin was shocked into silence by Shangguan Yi’s words.

Holy crap!

There were only three hundred slices of which Mo Hai was entitled to a hundred, and she wanted to purchase the remaining two hundred…

Was An Lin supposed to lick the f*cking frying pan after they were done eating?!

“Sorry, I can only sell a hundred slices at most,” An Lin said with a nonchalant expression.

He was the boss anyway, so he could do whatever he wanted.

“Alright, then give me ten slices!” Shangguan Yi amended.

An Lin: “…”

Mo Hai: “…”

An Lin stowed the three thousand spirit stones into his storage, and the three of them sat down around the frying pan to enjoy their feast.

Shangguan Yi was only joining in for fun, but when she had her first slice of meat, she almost fell out of her stool.

Oh my god! How could there be such delicious meat in this world!!

Mo Hai was also wolfing down slices of meat like there was no tomorrow. “Brother An Lin, I finally understand why you refused to help out in the battle now. Such delicious food truly requires the chef’s undivided attention!”

“I’ll give you another ten slices for what you just said!” An Lin replied with a grin.

Mo Hai’s body trembled, and he immediately piled all types of praise on An Lin.

“Mr. An Lin, the cooking skills of a person reflects who they are, and I’m not just saying this. Your cooking skills equate to strength, your aptitude, and how bada*s of a person you are…” Mo Hai was like a compliment vending machine, showering compliments on An Lin in a relentless stream in hope of being rewarded a few more slices of meat.

An expression of deep remorse appeared on Shangguan Yi’s face after she finished her ten slices of meat.

Why didn’t she buy some more?

Why was she so stupid?

What was she doing?

Shangguan Yi looked at the two people feasting on meat beside her, and she finally couldn’t resist the urge to negotiate. “Mr. An Lin, I want to buy some more meat, can I take back what I said earlier?”

An Lin turned his gaze on Shangguan Yi. She was a woman that was widely renowned within the Vermilion Bird Sect as an icy beauty, but at the moment, her expression was not icy in the slightest. Instead, her features were filled with timidity and longing.

He considered for a second and nodded after deciding that forging a friendship with her could be a long-term investment. “Sister Shangguan Yi, we’re both members of the Vermilion Bird Sect, so I’ll give you ninety more slices for free. That way, everyone gets a hundred slices and the happiness is evenly shared around!”

Shangguan Yi fell into a daze, and her bright eyes flashed as if she had been struck by a massively pleasant surprise. “Mr. An Lin, thank you so much, you truly are a good person!”

An Lin: “…”

Mo Hai blinked in confusion. “Wait, that’s not right, there are only three hundred slices of meat in the frying pan. You just gave me ten more so I get a hundred and ten, doesn’t that mean you only get ninety slices, Mr. An Lin?”

An Lin immediately came to a realization and nodded in reply. “You’re right, Mr. Mo Hai, in that case, I’ll deduct ten slices from your allowance, so it’s fair for everyone!”

“Pfff!” Mo Hai almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and he wanted to slap the sh*t out of himself!

F*ck, then what the hell did all that flattery come to?!

It was all in vain!

Shangguan Yi covered her mouth and chuckled lightly at Mo Hai’s suicidal expression.

The three of them devoured all the tiger meat in the frying pan and sat down on the crimson grass with pleasure etched on all their faces.

“Sister Shangguan Yi, since you’ve already found a high-grade projection of the Vermillion Bird Flame Wing, you can activate your teleportation badge to return to the Vermillion Bird Sect, but why are you still staying around?” Mo Hai asked.

“It was all thanks to you two that I was able to slay that heavenly fire mutant beast, so I feel like I should repay your kindness by accompanying you two in your quest for high-grade projections of the Vermillion Bird Flame Wing,” Shangguan Yi replied with a determined expression.

“But… the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds are extremely perilous, we really can’t ask you to take the risk for us…” Mo Hai appeared a little hesitant.

“Say no more, Mo Hai, I’ve already made my decision,” Shangguan Yi said with an extremely resolute expression.

An Lin was a little confused by Mo Hai’s actions.

Wasn’t it a good thing to have one extra powerful ally? Why was Mo Hai trying to chase her away?

Right at this moment, he suddenly received a voice transmission.

“Mr. An Lin, help me convince Sister Shangguan Yi to leave us alone!”

An Lin blinked in confusion before transmitting his voice in response, “Why would I do that? Isn’t it better to have a powerful ally to help us out? On top of that, she’s a beauty as well, so we have something pleasing to look at during our quest as well!”

“F*ck that! If you let her follow us around in these perilous trial grounds, we might all get screwed soon!” Mo Hai hurriedly transmitted his voice to An Lin, “You don’t know about her history; she’s renowned in the Vermilion Bird Sect for having lousy luck and encountering undesirable situations! Her luck is contagious as well and would often blight those around her too. Do you think it was a coincidence that she was being hunted down by that army of Flying Flame Birds? It’s all because of her bad luck!”

An Lin was a little taken aback by his words and sympathy for Shangguan Yi began to well up in his heart. He responded in a meaningful and heartfelt tone, “Mr. Mo Hai, we should band together as disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect, but why are you trying to defame her instead? Sister Shangguan Yi is someone deserving of our sympathy, and she’s just trying to help, wouldn’t you feel guilty if you chased her away? Lousy luck? Sounds like superstitious bullsh*t to me! How could someone so beautiful have anything but good luck?”

Mo Hai: “… You’re going to regret this.”

An Lin rolled his eyes and didn’t respond.

Right at this moment, Mo Hai and Shangguan Yi both stood up with solemn expressions.

They brought out a yellow divine talisman each, and their expressions turned even graver.

“What’s wrong?” An Lin also stood up anxiously.

“Our divine talismans will light up whenever one of the core disciples is in a life-threatening situation nearby. From the looks of it, there appears to be someone in dire straits about a thousand kilometers south of here,” Shangguan Yi explained.

“A thousand kilometers south from here is also where the mystic treasure mountain ranges are located. Lu Jiazhi had headed off to the west and Ji Yongfang wouldn’t dare go south, then it must be Yang Yuan there,” Mo Hai analyzed with a grave expression.

An Lin was a little perplexed. “Don’t we have teleportation badges that can take us back to the sect when we encounter insurmountable dangers?”

Shangguan Yi heaved a heavy sigh. “Brother Yang Yuan may have ventured into a mystic realm with spatial restrictions. Either that or he has encountered an enemy capable of spatial manipulation…”

All three of them fell silent at the latter notion.

Life and death were often decided by fate in perilous places such as the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds, but they didn’t want to abandon one of their fellow disciples. Thus, it became a difficult decision for them with regard to whether they should risk their lives to stage a rescue mission.

The southern region of the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds was a perilous region where the probability of encountering death was higher than ninety percent. Yang Yuan was already at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage but even he had encountered life-threatening perils. All of this worked to further exemplify just how perilous the southern region truly was.

A fierce expression of determination appeared on Mo Hai’s face. “I can’t just stand by idly when Brother Yang Yuan is in danger. I wanna see just how dangerous the legendary southern region of the Vermillion Bird Trial Grounds is!”

“I’ll come with you,” Shangguan Yi chimed in lightly.

An Lin also nodded without hesitation. “Count me in too. I’m the most powerful in-name disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect after all; I can’t let that title go to shame.”

The three of them exchanged knowing smiles before rising into the air and flying toward the southern region of the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds!

An Lin flashed through the air with excitement surging in his heart.

Who would have thought that he would voluntarily choose to pursue the most dangerous region in these trial grounds, perhaps this was all pre-ordained by fate.

His heart then suddenly trembled, and he turned to look at Shangguan Yi.

This couldn’t be because of her supposed bad luck, could it?

No way, it must be a coincidence!
