p today.Even though Summer hadn't been around for a while, the police at City Bureau didn't forget about this guy so quickly. Therefore, as usual, nobody obstructed his way in the station; some of the...Chapter 1226: Can You Compare to Frostie
Zhuge Wentian stared at Xia Tian in disbelief, muttering to himself, "How is this possible How could there still be someone who has cultivated to the Golden丹period Could it be that there are cultivators we don't know about in this world"
"There's a lot you don't know." Xia Tian said lazily. "Without cultivation, I can reach the Golden丹period myself. As an omnipotent divine doctor, I can turn anyone into a deity."
Turning to look at Gu Hanshuang, Xia Tian continued, "Frostie, I think we should just forget about this guy and end him with one palm strike. If you're unhappy, I can make you a Golden丹master tonight so that you'll be happy."
"Young Master, please wait a moment! Let me try to persuade Uncle Zhuge again," Gu Hanshuang pleaded.
"What did you mean by what you just said" Zhuge Wentian looked at Xia Tian with a confused expression. "Can you really turn someone into a Golden丹master at will"
"I've already said, I'm omnipotent," Xia Tian replied lazily.
"Hanshuang, is what he's saying true" Zhuge Wentian then turned to look at Gu Hanshuang again.
Gu Hanshuang glanced at Xia Tian for a moment, hesitating. She didn't know why Xia Tian had mentioned his ability because she felt that the consequences would be different once others knew about it. Back then, Zhuo Yundong had suddenly injured her and used her as leverage to exchange with Xia Tian precisely because he knew about Xia Tian's powerful abilities. Gu Hanshuang was well aware that for cultivators, Xia Tian’s current capabilities were simply irresistible.
"Sis Frost, just tell him the truth. It’s fine." Xia Tian seemed to understand why Gu Hanzhuang was hesitant and realized she was seeking his opinion, so he promptly gave her a reassuring answer.
Hearing Xia Tian's words, Gu Hanzhuang hesitated for a moment before looking at Zhuge Wentian and softly said, "Uncle Zhuge, to be honest, I’m not entirely sure. But the Young Master’s medical skills are extraordinary, and he has learned the legendary Heaven-Defying Eight Needles."
"What The Heaven-Defying Eight Needles You mean the legendary Heaven-Defying Eight Needles" Zhuge Wentian was shocked beyond belief and then hurriedly asked Xia Tian, "Which needle have you mastered"
"The fifth one." Xia Tian lazily replied.
"Five needles to achieve Dan Formation, five needles to achieve Dan Formation! No wonder you said that you can turn Sis Frost into a Gold丹期高手 (Dan Formation Realm expert). I never would have imagined it. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the Heaven-Defying Eight Needles actually exist in this world. I always believed they were just legends and impossible to be real... It seems heaven doesn’t want cultivators to become extinct after all..." Zhuge Wentian appeared extremely excited, muttering to himself continuously with a gleam of excitement in his eyes. This news was incredibly exhilarating for him.
"Uncle Zhuge…" Gu Hanzhuang sensed something amiss and wanted to remind Zhuge Wentian.
However, before she could speak, Zhuge Wentian interrupted her. But instead of addressing her, he turned to Xia Tian, "If you can turn Sis Frost into a Gold丹期高手 (Dan Formation Realm expert), then surely you can also do the same for me, right Just make me a Dan Formation expert and I’ll agree to anything you want from me. I’m willing to be your slave or servant just like Sis Frost.
"I never said I would turn you into a Golden Core expert. Actually, let me tell you now, I won't be turning you into one," Xia Tian immediately threw cold water on Zhuge Wentian's hopes.
Zhuge Wentian was dumbfounded, looking at Xia Tian in confusion: "Why Why not Qian霜can do it. Why can’t I"
"Can you compare to Qian霜" Xia Tian said impatiently. "Qian霜is my maid; you are definitely not."
"I've told you, being a slave or servant is fine by me!" Zhuge Wentian hurriedly replied.
"First of all, I don’t want slaves or servants, just maids. Since you’re not a woman, you can't be my maid. Secondly, even if you were a woman, it doesn’t mean that wanting to be my maid would make you one. A maid who isn’t as pretty as Qian霜isn’t someone I would choose," Xia Tian said lazily: "Therefore, don’t have any delusions."
"I’m an immortal cultivator; a servant like me must definitely be useful to you!" Zhuge Wentian was still not giving up.
"Actually, I want to tell you that a servant like you is useless to me. Any wife I pick would be more capable than you, and Qian霜is also better than you. Moreover, they are all more reliable than you. In my opinion, no man other than myself can be trusted, and no woman except for my wives can be relied upon. Well, of course, it’s different with Qian霜—she is both my maid and someone I trust," Xia Tian said nonchalantly.
Zhuge Wentian's face turned a bit ugly; he finally began to realize that the greatest attraction Gu Qian霜held for Xia Tian was not her status as an immortal cultivator but rather her stunning beauty.
"Hongshuang, can you..." Zhuge Wentian turned to look at Gu Hongsuang, his voice a bit strained. At this moment, it seemed that he could only hope for Gu Hongsuang's intercession on his behalf.
"Hey, don't let Frosty girl intercede on your behalf!" Xia Tian immediately saw through Zhuge Wentian’s intentions. "I'll tell you, I originally wanted to finish you off directly, but it was Frosty girl who didn’t want you dead. So out of respect for her wishes, I decided to let you live a few more decades as an ordinary person. If you’re not grateful about this, then just wait for your death."
With Xia Tian’s words, Gu Hongsuang naturally wouldn't plead on Zhuge Wentian's behalf anymore because Xia Tian had made it clear that pleading would be useless.
In reality, although Gu Hongsuang hoped that Xia Tian might help Zhuge Wentian, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with Xia Tian’s refusal. After all, in her view, granting a cultivator the chance to achieve a Golden Core was an invaluable blessing, something that could only happen by chance and couldn't be demanded. Xia Tian's willingness to help her was a sign of favoritism towards her, while Xia Tian refusing to help Zhuge Wentian meant others had no right to say anything about it. She had the right to bestow this kind of blessing on anyone she wished or choose not to.
Seeing Gu Hongsuang's silence, Zhuge Wentian felt somewhat disheartened for a moment. The saying “the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment” was apt here. Just minutes ago, he suddenly saw hope, the hope of achieving a Golden Core, but now this hope had completely vanished. The person who brought him hope also ended up burying it.
"Hongsuang, looks like I have no choice." After a long while, Zhuge Wentian bitterly smiled and let out a deep sigh. "If that's the case, then as you wish—I'll live as an ordinary person for several more decades."
"Uncle Zhuge, are you really going to agree" Gu Hongsuang was stunned for a moment before asking excitedly.
“I’ll pretend those past hundred-plus years never existed and start living over from now.” Zhuge Wentian smiled faintly. "Looking back on it, these hundred-plus years weren't entirely wasted either—after all, we've seen many new things that didn’t exist a century ago. What do you think"
"Uncle Zhuge, if you think so, it's undoubtedly the best." Gu Hanchuang seemed quite delighted. "Since you've made up your mind, let's leave this place first; after all, it’s not suitable for serious matters here."
"Alright, actually I have a place to stay nearby," Zhuge Wentian nodded and added with slight hesitation, “But will the police stop us”
"Don’t worry about it. With me around, nobody can obstruct you." Xia Tian spoke indolently and then turned towards Tao Zizhe who was standing not far away. "That guy I’ll take him first."
“Yes, Mr. Xia,” Tao Zizhe didn't dare to say anything more. However, seeing Xia Tian and Gu Hanchuang leaving with Zhuge Wentian made Tao Zizhe feel rather depressed; were the police officers really going to suffer in vain
Once Xia Tian and the others had disappeared from sight, Tao Zizhe took out his phone and dialed Director Wang's number.
Zhuge Wentian indeed did have a place to stay and it was even a villa. As for how he came into possession of this villa, Zhuge Wentian didn't explain, but it was clearly not something he had purchased himself; he only robbed the cash-in-transit vehicle days ago and couldn’t have bought it that quickly anyway. Besides, the money from the robbery wasn't enough to buy such a villa.
Xia Tian’s keen sense of smell detected faint traces of blood here, and upon observing the interior decor of the villa, he instantly concluded that this villa must be something Zhuge Wentian had just robbed, and most likely the original owner was killed by him as well.
"Guys who kill for money have no future," Xia Tian silently disdained Zhuge Wentian in his heart. He increasingly felt it better to deal with these guys directly but now he needed a reason, one that would allow him to eliminate Zhuge Wentian without Gu Hanchuang holding any grudges against him.
"Uncle Zhuge, why don't you let the Young Master help you right now" Gu Hanshuang hoped to settle this matter quickly because she could tell that Xia Tian wasn’t too enthusiastic about it, so she was always a bit worried that he might change his mind.
"Hanshuang, no rush," Zhuge Wentian shook his head. "You've just arrived at my house; regardless of anything else, you are guests here. Let me first make some tea for you."
"Uncle Zhuge, there's no need to be polite. Why don't you let the Young Master help you first" Gu Hanzhuang shook her head and said.
"This... " Zhuge Wentian pondered slightly before looking a little embarrassed as he said, "Hanshuang, actually, I still have some small doubts about this matter. I would like to privately ask you something first; only then will I be able to make my final decision."
"Then, okay," Gu Hanzhuang understood Zhuge Wentian’s meaning and looked at Xia Tian: "Young Master, may I talk to Uncle Zhuge in private first"
"No problem. You guys go ahead and chat; it's fine with me." Xia Tian readily agreed.
After one minute, seeing Gu Hanzhuang and Zhuge Wentian walking towards the second floor of the villa, a strange smile appeared on Xia Tian’s face. He suddenly realized that things were finally developing in the direction he had hoped for.e, especially someone she hated like Luo Bo, could be quite amusing. Thus, Wang Xiaoya was now vigorously encouraging Xia Tian to plant Luo Bo on the playground."Let's plant him in the ground then." X...
