Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 651 Exchanging The Rewards & Sending A Gift.

Shi Lang returned to the city palace and moved to the room where Yu Xiedi was residing. He did not have any scruples about the City Lord completing his task; Shi Lang had finished dealing with the things on his end, and that was it. He was in the clear.

He knocked on the door, and Yu Xiedi opened it from the inside after a few minutes. Shi Lang smiled and asked gently, “What were you doing, Xiao Yu?”

Yu Xiedi stood at the side, allowing him to enter, and said, “I was waiting for you, Master.”

Shi Lang was surprised and asked, “Why were you waiting for me?”

Yu Xiedi said, “Master while meditating, I sensed a warm current enveloping me. I wondered what it may be, so I did not move any further with practice. I thought of asking you when you come back.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Give me your hand.”

Yu Xiedi came next to him and stretched her hand for him to check. Shi Lang placed his fingers on her fair, skinny wrist. He checked the situation of her body with his spiritual sense, and after a while, he smiled. Yu Xiedi cast him an interrogative look, and the terran replied, “Xiao Yu, it is time that you start cultivating spiritual energy and use it to temper your body.”

Yu Xiedi was surprised, and she asked, “Master, are you joking with me?”

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, “Why will I joke with you, my little darling?”

As he spoke, he poked the tip of her nose. Yu Xiedi was dazed, and she clenched her fists. Shi Lang narrowed his eyes and watched her surge of emotions. He was not sure what this girl was thinking about. He was prepared to intervene if she went down the dark path of venting her hatred toward the Thorn Bandit chief.

However, his worries were unfounded. The girl took a deep breath and said, “I will fight those who bully others. They will suffer a fate that will make anyone with the same thoughts shiver.”

Shi Lang raised his eyes and said, “Kiddo, this will be tough for you to move ahead. Are you sure you wish to be like this? Let me make it clear. Helping someone may not bring you blessings all the time. It can also cause you to become a villain for the world.”

Yu Xiedi fell silent, and after a few minutes, she raised her head to match his gaze and said, “I do not care about the word. As long as my heart is clean, I will continue going down this path.”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “Well, aren’t you a natural?”

Then he taught her his cultivation sutra, the Shura Sutra. He did not hold back anything, but to ensure she did not overreach, he placed seals in her mind. He said, “You will only find the next level of the sutra when you have reached the peak of the last one. It is necessary so that your knowledge does not get sidetracked or damage your foundation.”

Yu Xiedi nodded, and Shi Lang said, “I have also imparted to you my understanding of martial skills. From now on, you will follow behind me and learn to fight spirit beasts. Okay?”

Yu Xiedi nodded without any hesitation in her eyes. She was ready to go and fight the beasts because she knew how hard Shi Lang worked and how he fought with people. She wanted to be strong like him. In her life, which was dreaded with fear and abuse, Shi Lang was a Sun. He changed his life, treated her with love, and made her feel like a human who can have dreams and excel at them.

Shi Lang took her out of the room and found something to eat. Then he found that the City Lord had come back. The man was distributing rewards to the people. Shi Lang was invited to receive his rewards. The terran walked over to the main hall with Yu Xeidi in tow.

The little girl was eager to know what reward Shi Lang might receive and had a spring in her step. She did not know much, and that was why she wished to find out more and learn more about the world. Shi Lang had a faint smile on his lips as he watched the young lady follow him like a tail.

Soon, they came to the main hall. Shi Lang met Lin Kang coming out. The two exchanged pleasantries before Lin Kang said, “Brother Ace, let us meet again if fate permits.”

Shi Lang returned the gesture and bade him farewell. The head-hunters would travel all over the central plains to finish the tasks. The dark undercurrents were always present, and their task was to counter such dark tides constantly. Shi Lang walked inside the main hall and found the City Lord sorting out a few boxes. He gathered these boxes to store his reward from the task.

City Lord Qiling noticed Shi Lang and said, “Young Friend Shi Lang, I was waiting for you to come over.”

Shi Lang nodded and replied, “City Lord, what can I do for you?”

City Lord Qiling smiled and replied, “You have already done much for us. Now, I must return the favor.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Among the rewards, I know you have prepared some Ice Elemental Spiritual treasures.”

City Lord Qiling nodded and replied, “Yes, why? Do you not want them?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Of course I do. However, I want to exchange these treasures for a few things.”

City Lord Qiling was surprised but nodded. After all, not everyone had the same need. He asked, “Tell me what do you need?”

Shi Lang said, “I would like to exchange two of these four rewards for one Lightning elemental treasure. It does not need to be an armament or spirit artifact, but I need a treasure to help me increase my cultivation level. One of the two remaining should be exchanged for an equivalent amount of basic cultivation resources, such as body tempering pills and other things.”

City Lord Qiling was prepared, but his words still surprised him. They did not know much, but looking at Yu Xiedi besides Shi Lang, the City Lord understood what was happening. He thought momentarily and asked, “What do you want to ask for the last remaining?”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I would like to send it as a gift for a disciple of the War Maiden Sect.”

City Lord Qiling furrowed his brows and said, “The war maiden sect? Are they not closed off from the world?”

Shi Lang asked, “Is something wrong?”

The middle-aged man replied, “Yes, the sect mistress has entered a cultivation retreat. She is charging at the Immortal Sovereign realm.”

Shi Lang thought briefly and said, “Forget it then. I will make the arrangements on my own.”

City Lord Qiling nodded and handed one box to Shi Lang, and he said, “You might have to wait for a bit longer. I will need some time to arrange all these things.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “I will take Xiao Yu out for training. The wild is the best place for a warrior to get stronger. I will return in a few days.”

City Lord Qiling was shocked. He could not understand why this young man would bring a child out in the wild. However, noticing the cold eyes of the young lady, he could not fathom their depth.

Shi Lang nodded, took one of the boxes, and left the place with Yu Xiedi. The little girl walked beside Shi Lang briskly. Once outside the City Palace, he asked, “Master, why did you take this one box?”

lightsΝοvεl ?οm She was smart enough to understand that the lightning spiritual treasure was for himself, while the basic resources were for her. She wanted to know why he saved this box. Whom did he want to send it to?

The terran replied, “I intend to send it to your mistress.”

Yu Xiedi was surprised and opened her eyes wide. She asked, “I have a mistress?”

Shi Lang smiled, and Yu Xiedi asked, “Can I meet her?”

The terran nodded and said, “I will take you to see her soon. Do not worry.”

Yu Xiedi nodded and asked a few more questions about Amelia. Shi Lang replied to the ones he could and avoided the ones he found sensitive. They came to the Moon Night Diner, and Shi Lang came to the big dipper room. He placed a task with an iron-level head hunter. He posted a reward and handed it to the Head Hunter Organization to handle.

They would pass on the reward when the task was completed. At the same time, he got his silver plate upgraded with the status of two tasks completed. Shi Lang also wrote a letter for Amelia and placed it inside the space ring with a few treasures in his possession.

He did not leave any imprint on the ring because the people of the head hunter organization were trustworthy. After he settled the affairs, Shi Lang said, “Come, Xie’er, we are going to fight some bad guys.”

Xiao Yu was surprised by his affectionate address and smiled with her head bowed. Shi Lang held her hand and led her outside the cities.
