Chapter 256: Begging Eunuch Xu to Point the Way!

A Fifth-Rank expert... could regenerate severed limbs!?

Qin Mo and the others trembled, instinctively glancing at Zhang Wei's wound, their hearts pounding with uncertainty.

Could he really regenerate a severed limb?

That was too mystical!

Yang Ling's expression turned serious: "Absolutely, a master told me so."

A hint of hope flickered in Zhang Wei's despairing eyes.

"Who was the one who ambushed you?"

Xu Wuji appeared again, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yang Ling lowered his voice and recounted the incident.

Xu Wuji snorted coldly:

"This Bitter Awareness Temple truly has no regard for the law. Looks like they need a thorough investigation."

With that, he turned to Zhang Wei and said flatly:

"Kid, Director Yang wasn't wrong earlier. A Fifth-Rank expert really can regenerate severed limbs."

Suddenly, Zhang Wei gritted his teeth against the excruciating pain, rolled over, and knelt before Xu Wuji:

"Kid Zhang Wei begs Eunuch Xu to point the way with a celestial finger!"

What the hell was he doing!?

Was he...?!

A flash of shock crossed Qin Mo and the others' eyes.

Yang Ling felt a twinge of admiration—this bastard was quick on the uptake!

Point the way with a celestial finger? What a brilliant phrase.

Xu Wuji had originally been expressionless, only offering a tip out of courtesy to Yang Ling.

But now this guy suddenly knelt before him, begging him to point the way with a celestial finger?

"Oh, didn't expect a sharp one."

Xu Wuji was pleased with the phrase "point the way with a celestial finger," the more he savored it, the more satisfied he felt. He immediately laughed:

"What's your name again?"

"Kid Zhang Wei!"

"Mm, come along on the boat. First, let your wounds heal. I happened to leave the capital without an attendant this trip.

You'll stay by my side for now, and I'll teach you some rules.

Once this mining business is done, you'll come with me to the capital."

"From now on, you'll be called Little Wei Zi."

The moment he finished speaking, Yang Ling immediately opened Zhang Wei's Status Panel.

Sure enough, he saw his class change from Martial Artist to Eunuch.

"Xu Wuji managed to make him change class with just one sentence..."

Yang Ling sighed inwardly.

Zhang Wei had clearly seen the change on his Status Panel too. At this moment, he knew there was no turning back!

Only by charging forward without hesitation could he hope to regenerate his severed limb.

He kowtowed repeatedly, over and over, until his forehead bled.

Seeing him bleeding from both ends, everyone felt a shiver run down their spines.

"He's a filial one. Come with me, I have experience. I'll personally treat your wounds. By tomorrow, you'll be able to move freely."

Xu Wuji reached out, grabbed Zhang Wei, and vanished.

"Boss Yang, Zhang Wei has a boundless future ahead of him..."

Qin Mo said gravely.

Wu Xiaochen and the others nodded in agreement.

They were all players, but where had they ever seen such a decisive person among players—someone who seized the opportunity and rose through the ranks like that?

"Zhang Wei handled this remarkably well. It's something we can all learn from," Yang Ling concluded.

Learn? Learn my ass...

A chill ran through the group.

Yang Ling looked at the Snake Gang disciples.

They quickly clasped their fists:

"Master Yang!"

They knew the former Chief Constable of Green Mountain City all too well.

This was the man who had killed their previous guild master.

And now they watched helplessly as the acting guild master was taken away by an imperial eunuch's favor. Their emotions were incredibly tangled.

"Zhang Wei has earned Eunuch Xu's favor now, turning misfortune into fortune. But the Snake Gang can't be without a leader for even a day..."

As Yang Ling spoke, he spotted Chen Guoqing running over with Wei Ran and others, and his eyes lit up.

Chen Guoqing, panting heavily, climbed onto the boat with a wry smile.

When he heard that monks from Bitter Awareness Temple had ambushed Yang Ling, his scalp had nearly exploded.

Thankfully, the consequences weren't too severe.

"Boss, are you alright? Did that dead monk hurt you?"

Wei Ran quickly circled Yang Ling, checking for injuries.

"I'm not hurt."

"Then what's all this blood on the ground?"

Wei Ran asked instinctively.

Yang Ling didn't continue the topic but said seriously:

"Wei Ran, from now on, you'll take the position of Snake Gang Master in Green Mountain City.

Work with Chen Guoqing to manage Green Mountain City and look after the new players."

Wei Ran was stunned: "Me? Snake Gang Master? What about Zhang Wei?"

He had already heard about Zhang Wei's situation from Chen Guoqing.

"It's a long story. Let's leave it at that. We're about to set off."

Yang Ling waved his hand, then looked at the Snake Gang disciples and said sternly:

"Do you understand?"

The Snake Gang disciples exchanged glances and immediately clasped their fists to Wei Ran:

"Subordinates greet the Guild Master!"

Wei Ran left with Chen Guoqing, still feeling bewildered.

Half an hour later, a white figure flapped its wings and flew over.

Li Tianye and the others were chatting on the deck, planning their future leveling paths, full of anticipation.

The white figure's sudden appearance startled them.

"A wild monster! Might be worth a lot of experience!"

Wang Xudong blurted out instinctively.

But then they saw Yang Ling affectionately patting Little White's head, then smiling at the group:

"Let me introduce you all—this is my pet. Its name is Little White."

Little White, now as big as a wolfdog, glanced at Wang Xudong and the others before continuing to nuzzle its head against Yang Ling's palm.

The players present were shocked. This was Yang Ling's pet?

"When did 'Divine Realm' launch the pet system? I didn't get any notification!"

Qin Mo said instinctively.

Wu Xiaochen looked serious: "Neither did I. It might be a selective rollout."

"It hasn't been launched yet. I just got lucky and found its egg in the Vermilion Gold mine. I hatched it myself."

Yang Ling smiled and patted Little White's head:

"Go play on your own. Just don't hurt anyone."

Hearing this, Little White flapped its wings and flew straight into the river.

In the blink of an eye, it grabbed a fish weighing a few catties and started eating on the deck.

"It can even fish..."

Yang Ling was a little surprised, but then remembered that there were fish in the Underground River beneath the Vermilion Gold mine too.

Little White must have honed its fishing skills back then.

"So, 'Divine Realm' really does allow you to keep pets.

You just need to get the right pet eggs..."

Wu Xiaochen murmured to himself.

Qin Mo's eyes lit up: "If we could each get a powerful pet, wouldn't that be awesome!"

"What if we could raise a dragon? Wouldn't we be invincible?"

One player laughed foolishly, as if he had already raised a dragon.

"That's less realistic than a Water Qilin," Yang Ling said casually with a smile.

The group's eyes lit up, and they immediately asked Yang Ling about the Water Qilin Cave.

Yang Ling cheerfully shared his experiences with them.

At some point, the boat had already set sail.

Before long, the vessel passed by Tingjiang City, and Yang Ling stopped his story.

Because he had just caught a glimpse of a huge shadow swimming through the water.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was that giant salamander.

The group was still hungry for more, wanting Yang Ling to keep talking, when the boat suddenly shook violently from a collision.

The Water Transport Guild Director, unfazed, ordered his men to continue forward and ignore it.

Qin Mo's face turned serious: "Boss Yang, is that the giant salamander from last time?"

"It should be," Yang Ling nodded thoughtfully.

"Why don't we all jump it? It'll probably give us a ton of experience."

Qin Mo licked his lips.

The moment the players heard "experience," they perked up.

Just then, Xu Wuji stepped out of the cabin. The Water Transport Guild Director quickly approached:

"It's just an aquatic beast below, disturbing Eunuch Xu. We'll leave this stretch of river soon, so it won't be a problem."

Hearing this, Eunuch Xu turned and went back into the cabin.

The boat continued sailing, but not far away, a fishing boat was rammed directly by a dark shadow.

The fisherman and his wife on board screamed as they fell into the water.

Yang Ling's face darkened:

"Old Qin, into the water!"

"Why is it always me again..."

Qin Mo grumbled inwardly, but his movements were quick as he immediately dove into the water and swam toward the fishing boat.
