BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53: The wise Larva -1
' But! The question is how many people will die from my hands? If possible I only want to pluck flowers with my hands but if thrones need to be removed, then, This Bai won't bat an eye,' Thought Bai Lung, cold sinister aura surrounding him.
'System! I can rest assured, that I can enter the hidden realm?' Bai Lung asked to system, communicating through his mind.
Fatefully speaking,
Bai Lung was supposed to meet his young demise,
Yet, he is still enjoying the youth phase, cooking rice.
Not to mention, that he even slain the fateful one so, he believed there might be some divine intervention.
[ Ding! Your worries are completely justifiable but rest assured, Host. You can safely enter the tomb of the immortal. The only problem is that; you won't be able to receive the inheritance but you don't need some cheap inheritance when you have me, ]
[ Ding! For today's daily log-in — The Host has obtained the pouch of pills ]
Pouch of pills: contains 100 different types of pills.
'Oh! That's pretty good to hear that there won't be any kind of blockage from above, even if I can't get Inheritance from immortal, I believe it's worth a try to visit such a tomb,' Bai Lung said in his heart.
'But there should be something right? After all, the protagonist who was supposed to get the inheritance died...'
[ Ding! The host is correct, protagonists are nothing but chess pieces of heaven, and if one of them falls, 'The Heavenly gambit' takes place ]
'Heavenly gambit?'
[ Yes! The heavenly gambit is also known as heaven's gambit... If the chosen one fails to reach its destination and fulfill his destiny... In such cases, it's only right if that destiny is passed on to another protagonist ]
'Ooh! How amusing so, even heaven thinks of the chosen one as a liability... '
[ In a sense... As for the tomb of the ancient Immortal, anyone with raw age can explore it ]
( Raw age: Age below 50 )
' Ooh! As expected...'
...
The Sect Master is looking for; an Ancient Golden Lotus, blood-recovering grass, vitality-restoring plant, spiritual eggplant, and 1000-year-old ginseng king.
But Bai Lung has no reason to give it to him, the reason remains seemingly simple.
From the start, if one were to look at the situation, it seems like Sect Master is a great guy even pushing his daughter to Holy Envoy which by logic is a good thing as it offers various benefits at low sacrifice, especially: Political stability and connection.
But! There is always more to the story than what catches the eye.
The Heavenly Door sect is one of the most useless sects despite being strong, not to mention over time, it's gradually declining, and just the recent activity of the sect master proved why it was declining.
Letting others stay in your domain temporarily for a hefty sum sounds like a well-fetched strategy but I had a major downside.
The Immortal ones used to say; Keep friends close but enemy closer but by mean, the sect master is following the teaching of the immortal.
Anyway,
The Sect Master is a hypocrite and he didn't push his daughter to Bai Lung because he cared for her or the sect, he pushed her to his bed because he wanted Bai Lung to protect his son and bring those items for him.
The Sect master has one wife and four concubines, and Ling'r is a child born out of his concubine so, he doesn't care much about her.
All he cares about is his son, and yesterday his wife was the one who suggested sending Ling'r with 'forbidden medicine' to Bai Lung, that way, rice could be cooked perfectly.
The real intention of the sect master and his wife was to get rid of Ling'r by pushing her to Bai Lung and helping their son get the inheritance and become the next sect master.
But! This is just the tip of the story, there is an entire iceberg if one were to delve deeper.
Not to mention,
Those not-fully healed wounds on Ling'r's body were caused by the wife of the Sect master.
Bai Lung could witness a few cut marks on her back and marks of whips at her thighs and buttocks.
Thus, Bai Lung had no plan to help the sect master at all.
...
Everyone! kneel! The great one has arrived!
"The Qin Family has arrived... The Royal boat is flying outside,"
"oh my god, the imperial family!"
' By chance, did Princess also arrive? '
' Flying boat? I have seen some flying boats in my memories, they can fly in the air or even void, with the help of Qi, but my mother didn't allow me to ride one here... hey system, give me a flying boat, how much does it cost? '
[ Ding! I'll put the Best Quality Flying Boat in the next weekly log-in bonus ]
' I see! This Bai thanks Fairy Xiaoyu,'
[ You honored me with your word, Host! ]
----
" Wh-What! The Qin Family is here? Move fast! Prepare the best accommodation and fine wine, Hurry up!"
The Sect master got up from his place and began to order Elders and servants using Qi to enhance his voice.
Looking at the sect master with cold eyes, Bai Lung turned and looked at the sky, seeing a flying with an imperial flag in it.
The People of the sect suddenly began to prepare the sect, while the elder took out the fine quality wine from the storeroom.
The Sect was lively, while Bai Lung stood there in a daze with a small smirk playing on his lips.
"It seems the sect master will be busy for a moment, as such, This Bai will take his leave, " Bai Lung said while he turned around to leave for his residence.
But! He was stopped before he could wage his step.
