Chapter 442: Chapter 178: Could There Be So Unspeakable Secret?”_4
His expression complex as he looked at the young man before him.
Although he had long heard of Chen Qiu’s na, today was the first ti he had seen him.
He was at the Peak of Divinity Transformation, while Chen Qiu was rely at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul. Yet, in facing him, Chen Qiu didn’t even activate his Protective Spirit Qi, appearing completely natural throughout, devoid of any feeling of confronting a superior.
That essentially left only one possibility!
It ant that Chen Qiu was confident that even if he suddenly erupted, he would still survive.
Human Race…
...
The Human Race really was an excessively abnormal species, reproducing quickly and occasionally producing a Heavenly Pride.
Most races could not compare to the Human Race, which experienced internal wars every so often and still maintained a robust population, as if death was impossible for them.
Oh, right, there was also the Devil Clan.
The Devil Clan was even more miraculous, constantly fragnted, constantly engaging in civil wars, yet they still managed to pass on their legacy well; the Dragon Clan, cautious for fear of extinction, was ironically nearing it.
He exhaled deeply.
Ao Tian stopped pondering further and looked at Chen Qiu with slight solemnity, slowly saying,

“You saved the Black Dragon.”
“This is a great kindness. According to the rules of the Dragon Clan, the Black Dragon has left you a reverse scale. In the future, you can hold this scale and ask the Dragon Clan for any request, or the Dragon Clan might send soone to bring a treasure of sufficient value to exchange for this scale.”
“I am here today for this matter.”
Although he had lived for thousands of years, he had spent nearly all of his ti on Dragon Island and hadn’t interacted with humans in a long while, finding it sowhat awkward now.
He had almost forgotten what the Human Race’s social etiquette was.
“Hmm.”
“It was just a case of lending a hand when I saw injustice. The Black Dragon is a good kid, dying in the Secret Realm would have been a pity.”
“It was no trouble at all.”
Chen Qiu chuckled lightly and nodded his head, saying nothing more, before he took out the reverse scale from his bosom and pushed it across the table. He used a tea clip to pick up the tea cup in front of Ao Tian, washing it while pondering.
After cleaning the tea cup, he pushed it back in front of Ao Tian.
Then he filled it with tea from the Justice Cup, his voice calm and soft, “Exchanging it with a treasure of sufficient value naturally poses no problem, like the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill for the Nascent Soul, this kind of thing…”
Before he could finish,
Ao Tian’s eyes lit up, “Benefactor, do you need Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills for the Nascent Soul? That’s easy, would 1000 be enough?”
“…”
Chen Qiu, his hand steady and his heart calm, finished pouring the tea before sitting back down in his seat, his deanor serene, and continued,
“For instance, Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills for the Nascent Soul… naturally would not suffice.”
Then he looked up at Ao Tian and casually said, “Do you lack Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills for the Nascent Soul?”
“I do not,” Ao Tian shook his head.
“Then do you think I do?”
Ao Tian pondered for a mont, then seriously shook his head again, “Benefactor, being able to advance from the first to the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul in just a few days, you naturally do not lack them, and rely having Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills for the Nascent Soul wouldn’t be enough to advance so quickly, thus you surely have other stronger thods.”
“That’s correct.”
Chen Qiu chuckled as he filled his own cup with tea, “Who lacks Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills for the Nascent Soul if they are a decent person?”
“Let’s not rush with the matter of the reverse scale. Whether there is a repaynt or not doesn’t matter; I didn’t help that day with the expectation of a reward. Mainly, the Black Dragon looked genuinely adorable, worth assisting.”
“Not at all,” Ao Tian said with a slightly indignant shake of his head, “That child is not obedient at all, nearly driving to death. I told him to leave the Secret Realm imdiately upon arrival, but he just wouldn’t listen.”
“Had it not been for you, Benefactor.”
“I dare not imagine what might have happened.”
“Normally, kids are always mischievous when they’re little.” Chen Qiu laughed as he finished the tea in his cup, then put away the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure Tea Set and took out two jars of Spiritual Wine: “Speaking of which, I’ve had quite a few troubles recently, and I’ve been wanting to find soone to drink with, but it’s hard to find a confidant.”
“You know, drinking alone or being forced to drink with soone you don’t see eye to eye with, that’s really hard to swallow.”
“But when you’re with a confidant, even a thousand cups are too few.”
“Today, you and I were fated to et despite the distance, why not drink together?”
“This…”
Ao Tian hesitated for a mont but still used his Divine Sense to check the wine for poison before saying, “Since my benefactor is in the mood, I shall keep you company!”
…
An hour later.
By this ti, Ao Tian was drunk, his eyes rimd red as he draped his arm around Chen Qiu’s shoulders, his body reeking of alcohol, and his speech stuttering and even sowhat excited: “Really, brother.”
“All these years, only you have understood .”
“No one understands ; no one knows how painful these thousands of years have been for .”
“Those people only know that the Dragon Clan has a long lifespan and strong combat abilities, but they can’t understand what it feels like to watch helplessly as the Dragon Clan walks toward extinction.”
“These years, this matter has been pressing on my chest.”
“But there hasn’t been anyone to talk to, brother, do you know what it feels like to not have anyone to speak the truth to for thousands of years? Inside the Dragon Clan, there are only younger generations, no one understands , everyone on the Xuantian Continent wants to kill , and I dare not go to the Xuantian Continent.”
“So many years have passed.”
“Brother, I—”
Ao Tian, with his eyes red, vigorously patted his chest: “Brother, it’s suffocating here, it hurts!”
“It hurts!”
“For thousands of years, only you, brother, have understood !”
Chen Qiu, breaking his usual composure and equally drunk, hugged Ao Tian in return, his voice slurring as he shook his head and said, “Bro, I understand you, others don’t understand you, but I do.”
“All these years, you’ve been wronged, brother. From now on, don’t worry, with your brother here, co to if you feel wronged.”
“Don’t look at as just being at the fifth level of Nascent Soul.”
“Wait till the day I reach the Peak of Divinity Transformation, then you, brother, can co to the Xuantian Continent whenever you want. If anyone dares to stop you, I’ll kill their whole family!”
“Good! That’s the spirit!”
Ao Tian, excited, slapped Chen Qiu on the shoulder heavily, grabbed the wine jar in his hand intending to pour it into his mouth, but found the jar was empty. He casually tossed the empty jar aside, and then took out two jars of Spiritual Wine from his Storage Ring.
Before even opening it, the fragrance was already assaulting his senses.
The rich Spiritual Energy was almost tangible.
The finest Spiritual Wine.
“Brother, your tea is indeed nice, but your wine really isn’t up to par. Co, drink so of my wine and taste how it compares.”
“Have a taste!”
Chen Qiu boldly smashed open a wine jar, then hugged it and started pouring it into his mouth. As soon as this first gulp of wine went down his throat, Chen Qiu’s drunkenness slightly sobered up. The rich Spiritual Energy in the Spiritual Wine.
Actually increased his Cultivation Progress by 1%.
Damn, this was just one sip of wine.
He glugged down a few more sips, then set down the wine jar, and continued to hug Ao Tian, asking tipsily, “Brother, tell about the specifics with your Dragon Clan. Doesn’t the Dragon Clan have a lifespan of at least a few thousand years?”
“How could it have co to the brink of extinction?”
“Is there so unspeakable secret?”
“Let’s see if there’s anything brother can do to help.”
