979 Free Falling
The reasons why Chen Xiaobei traveled to Japan was to stop Demonic Fox's upcoming wedding and avenge her family. Secondly, he had promised Li Xiang to help him to look for the eighth and ninth piece of Orochi's Scales. Now, he had a third goal—to look for the reincarnated Daji.
The Prime of Tongtian had mentioned this task to Chen Xiaobei multiple times. He wanted Chen Xiaobei to locate her as soon as possible. It was even more important than finding the super fated girl. All these while, Chen Xiaobei had tried really hard to look for clues about Daji. Unfortunately, he did not even know where to begin. To his surprise, not only did Jiang Ziya and Six Ears Macaque expose their true identity to him accidentally, but they also give Chen Xiaobei a very important clue to look for Daji.
Seemingly, the reincarnated Daji was now staying in Japan. In other words, the area that Chen Xiaobei needed to search was greatly narrowed down. There was a high chance that Chen Xiaobei would be able to locate Daji while he was still in Japan.
"Chen Xiaobei. How are you planning to deal with us?"
Seeing that Chen Xiaobei did not say a single word, Six Ears Macaque thought that he was thinking how to deal with them. That was why he was eager to know their fate.
"I have always been a man of honor! I know that the two of you had gone the extra mile to protect my friends and family! I will definitely repay your good deed! Today, I'm going to let the two of you go and spare your lives. Leave now! The next time when we meet again, we are enemies!"
To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei actually had no intention to harm them.
"I'm a man of reason too! And I don't like to owe anyone favors!"
"During that incident at Bei Xuan Faction, Jiang Ziya and I did that to protect ourselves. Our first intention was not to protect your friends and family! We are not worthy to let you treat us in such a good manner! There's no debt for you to pay actually!"
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei almost coughed out a mouthful of warm blood.
'Is there something wrong with this Six Ears Macaque? Chen Xiaobei just said that he's willing to let us go! Why is he looking for a reason not to get away from him?!' scolded Jiang Ziya inside his heart.
It was at that moment, Chen Xiaobei was actually impressed by how Six Ears Macaque acted in a situation like this. Though he worked for Chanism, he was actually an honorable person. Earlier, he even scolded Chanism for being shameless. For that, Chen Xiaobei was pleased by his good nature.
"I know about all the things that you told me. That's why you are free to leave this place but you have to give me your Deity Constricting Rope! Now, we don't owe each other anymore!" said Chen Xiaobei.
"Alright! This Deity Constricting Rope belongs to you right now! We will see each other in Jianghu again in the future!"
Immediately, Six Ears Macaque cut ties with the Deity Constricting Rope—making it a masterless Spiritual Item. After that, he turned around and walked away from Chen Xiaobei without looking back.
"Wait for me…"
Jiang Ziya tried his best to muster enough strength to stand up to chase after Six Ears Macaque. The funny thing was his dentures were now gone. There was a huge gap in between his teeth. The moment he talked, his breath kept on escaping from the hole—making it a funny scene to watch.
"Hold on right there! Did I say that you can leave this place?" asked Chen Xiaobei in an ice-cold tone.
Immediately, Jiang Ziya could feel fear creeping into his body.
He then said in a shaky voice, "Six… Six Ears Macaque is gone… I have to go with him…"
"Hmph! Six Ears Macaque gave me his Deity Constricting Rope! Do you really think that you can leave this place without offering me something?"
Right after Chen Xiaobei received something good from Six Ears Macaque, he wanted to take something good from Jiang Ziya as well.
"I… I don't have anything with me right now…" said Jiang Ziya while sweat dripping down from his forehead.
Initially, he came down from heaven to redeem his sin. That was why he was not allowed to bring any Spiritual Items with him. When he first came down to the earth, he did have a cell phone with him. Unfortunately, it was snatched away by Six Ears Macaque.
"Nothing? Then I actually feel sorry for you! Come back with me!"
Chen Xiaobei extended his hands to grab Jiang Ziya's shirt collar and pick him up like he was a tiny chick. He then summoned his Somersault Cloud and flew into the sky.
"Damn… Oh my god… Slowly please… Don't drop me…"
Clearly, Jiang Ziya was completely freaked out by Chen Xiaobei sudden act.
"Let me ask you a question… Do you want to live?"
"Of…. Of course! Don't let go of me please… We can talk about it!"
Jiang Ziya thought Chen Xiaobei was going to toss him to the ground. Seemingly, he was terrified by this idea.
"When is the Saturn Peach Feast? I need the exact date!"
"Seven… Seven days later!"
"Seven days? Does that mean I need to help you to gather one million disciples in seven days? So, you can please the Queen Mother during the Saturn Peach Feast? Have you put some thought into it? Singing, dancing, live-streaming, and acting. What do you want to do to recruit more disciples?"
"I… I'm willing to do everything… But I have no idea how to do them."
That was actually the truth. The reason why Old Wang was so successful at live streaming is because of his addiction to Mobile Legends. As for Hong Hai'er and NeZha, the two of them had to work really hard to build up their acting career. Coming back to Jiang Ziya, he had no intention of completing his mission the moment he landed on earth. Everything that Chen Xiaobei asked him to learn, he ignored all of them. That was why he knew nothing now.
"You have only seven days left! You don't have enough time to learn any skillset! Let me arrange something for you since you refuse to choose something to learn! Do you still remember how you cause someone to report Old Wang's channel?"
"Uhm… I do remember that. I said something inappropriate! Wait… Are you going to make me become a gigolo?" asked Jiang Ziya, taken aback.
"Becoming a gigolo? Hahaha… That's an interesting thought you have there! If you want to become a gigolo, you have to entertain at least one million customers in the course of seven days! And you have to make sure everyone is satisfied with your service! Do you think you can do it?"
"No… I feel less worried since I don't have to become a gigolo…"
Seconds later, Jiang Ziya was shocked by the thing that Chen Xiaobei told him.
"I'm not asking you to become a gigolo… Instead, I'm going to look for seven to eight women to have sex with you!" said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
"No way… Are you kidding me…? Having sex with other women has nothing to with the Three Realms Mission! How can I recruit disciples like this?"
"You don't have to worry about it! Just do your best to make sure that I can get one Saturn Peach! Do that and I will spare your life! If not…"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei let go of Jiang Ziya.
"AH!!!!"
Immediately, gravity pulled Jiang Ziya to the ground. Now that he was just an ordinary human being, he could turn into a pile of minced meat when he lands on the ground. Knowing that he was about to die, Jiang Ziya let out a hysterical scream.
