Chapter 521 - 521: A Frog at the Bottom of a Well (2)
After dealing with the bear, Li Yuanqing summoned Fang Tai back and hung him on his head.
He turned into a flash of lightning and chased after the monkey. Not long after, he found the heavily injured monkey among a pile of rubble.
Chains emerged from the square platform again, binding the monkey’s body tightly and pulling it up.
At this moment, Monkey had no room to resist. He could only forcefully open his eyes by a slit.
“You…”
Monkey looked at Li Yuanqing in despair. He did not know when he had been targeted by such a person. He also did not know when he had fallen into his trap. However, it was already too late to ask now.
In such a short period of time, the two brothers had been beaten up to such a state. They had been captured and thrown into prison. They would probably never have the chance to come out again in their lifetime.
Li Yuanqing looked at him indifferently and said,”If the two of you can come up with an answer that I’m satisfied with, perhaps I can spare your life.””
“Humph! [Since I’m in your hands, you can kill me or plunder me, so why bother with all the nonsense? My life is worthless anyway. So what if you kill me? Sea City Base will be destroyed sooner or later!] Haha…”
Monkey was about to laugh when he spat out a large mouthful of blood, causing him to choke and cough.
Li Yuanqing looked at him leisurely and said,”Do you mean to rely on your mother?”
“What?”
Monkey widened his eyes and looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief. He did not know how Li Yuanqing knew about his mother.
“You are?”
He suddenly thought of himself. For a moment, he felt as if someone had barged into the cave, but he couldn’t find that human no matter how hard he tried. Could that human be him?
Li Yuanqing didn’t answer directly. He only shook his head regretfully.”Although you demons are born with great strength, your brains don’t seem to be enough. It’s really a pity. You’d better go to the square platform and stay there!”
“You!”
Monkey was about to speak when he was suddenly pulled into the square platform by Li Yuanqing. After the square platform spun, it turned into a small shape and fell back into Li Yuanqing’s hand.
Li Yuanqing had really mastered the use of this magic crystal square platform. After all, it was a magic tool that he had personally refined. Now, he was using it very well. When facing these slightly weaker opponents, it was simply handy. He could successfully control the person in an instant.
Li Yuanqing waved his hand, and all these images disappeared, returning to the original appearance of the teahouse. However, the teahouse was now empty, and there were few people standing below. The boss stood downstairs and watched worriedly, not knowing if anything would happen inside.
“What happened up there? Why did you suddenly call us out? What is this for?”
“What else could it be? If you ask me, it’s most likely that the demon race has sent people in again, so the people above have made a move. 1 think we should just blindly interfere. If it affects us, we won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
“That’s true, but from the looks of it, there’s no movement from above. Are they really fighting? I was thinking of hiding further away, but there was no sound from above. It was really strange.”
As they were discussing, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
They held their breaths and stared at the door quietly. After a while, Li Yuanqing walked out of the shop with the Man-eating Vines. The two of them talked and laughed as if nothing had happened.
“Master, you’ve been away for so long this time. Did you find anything fun outside or bring anything back?”
“How can there be so much fun? There’s nothing particularly interesting in this underground warehouse world. In my opinion, it’s about the same. However, why is your cultivation still stagnant here? I remember that before I left, you had already reached the bottleneck period. Why are you still stuck here?”
The Man-eating Vine carefully stuck out its tongue and said,””Master, I might be doing this for you.”
“Why are you doing this for me again?”
“I have to help my master take care of the entire Sea City Base, so I’ve been improving my skills in magic formations. Look at how skilled I am in using magic formations now. I pulled the two of them into the illusion without them noticing at all.”
“Your mouth is really getting faster and faster.”
“Dear guests.” The shop owner walked over and looked at the two of them carefully.
Li Yuanqing gently patted his shoulder and said,””It’s nothing. It was just a misunderstanding just now. The two of them have already left. You guys continue to drink tea.”
“Sir…”
Li Yuanqing took out a small cloth bag and stuffed it into the shopkeeper’s hand.
“Thank you for your hard work this time. Thank you for your cooperation. Consider these spirit stones my gift. I hope you don’t find it too little.”
The shopkeeper couldn’t help but open the cloth bag. He took a quick glance at it and immediately put it into the monk’s arms.
“Thank you for your reward.”
It was as if all the questions in his heart had disappeared with the light in the small bag.
“Master, I should hurry back. Sister Ye has been waiting for you for a long time. Sister Ye’s body is much better now.”
“Little girl, why are you becoming more and more cunning? Who taught you?”
“Master, I have to look at so many people from day to night. Every day, there are hundreds of thousands of people talking about all kinds of things in the city. I feel like I’m in a mess now.”
The two of them chatted and laughed as they came to the City Lord’s Mansion. After they left, the onlookers outside began to discuss softly again.
“If I’m not wrong, wasn’t the woman behind that man the state preceptor?”
“It must be fake. The state preceptor is above everyone else. How can he call someone else master?”
“It can’t be fake. I was personally taught a lesson by the state preceptor. That time, she was standing in front of me and I saw it clearly. That person is the state preceptor.”
“What you said is too ridiculous. The state preceptor would never call someone master. If it was really the state preceptor, I would chop off my head and kick it like a ball!”
Although they were arguing endlessly, no one believed that the person was the legendary state preceptor.
After all, in their impression, the state preceptor was an extremely powerful figure. Now that he was being brought by an unknown young man and called him master, it was too terrifying.
However, Li Yuanqing had already brought the Man-eating Vine back to the City Lord’s Mansion. Ye Qiluo had already been waiting there for a long time.
They were well prepared. Everyone was dressed in military attire, but it was completely useless.
“Young Master Li, how is it outside? Will they come back?”
The Man-eating Vine hugged Ye Qiluo’s arm and said,””Sister Ye, don’t be afraid. Those two guys have already been dealt with by Master. They’re really too stupid. Master casually took action and put them into the magic tool.”
Ye Qiluo stared at Li Yuanqing,””Young Master Li, your cultivation has become deeper. Congratulations, Young Master Li!”
“city lord Ye’s complexion is much better now, there shouldn’t be any side effects, just follow my instructions and recover.”
“It’s all thanks to Young Master Li’s guidance. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have been left with a body full of injuries.”
“That’s not worth mentioning. The entire Sea City Base is counting on city lord Ye to take charge of the situation here. Without city lord Ye, this place would be in a mess..”
