Novel Full Chapter 736 - A Pearl
"As you know, Your Majesty, Fog has been preparing for so long now to get the clear for the Glory Sky. Of course, he will not pass up the opportunity of recruiting someone of my level even if he has to bleed." Aida spoke with a calm tone. He wasn't in his monk state right now and speaking normal to Jin Rou.
What he said was true. Fog wanted the ultimate treasure inside the Danger Zone for himself. However, he wouldn't enter it unless he was confident in clearing it. After all, he might not be so lucky during this attempt. He already used his life saving treasures and those in his possession right now couldn't guarantee his safety.
"He never changed." Jin Rou smirked. Han Li had several interactions with Fog and knew his personality well, "Until now, he's still desiring the treasure inside that Danger Zone that he's even willing to give up on Buddhist Seed Light."
The Buddhist Seed Light was very beneficial to those who practice Buddhism just like the name it suggested. However, the seed needed to germinate first before having any positive effects for the owner. And although the effects would be magical, the maintenance to keep the seed alive was very expensive that a normal sect couldn't keep up.
But for people like Aida, germinating the seed was easy as pie since his temple had a ton of absolute resources he could expend by whim.
"I turned his offer down, though." Aida said, "If I come with that guy, who will manage this vault? There's no one in my temple is so trustworthy to do that."
"Will you regret it?" Jin Rou asked.
"How can I? It is my choice. Although it's unfortunate that I cannot have the seed, I have a thousand treasures similar it. So there's actually no need for me to feel bad about rejecting it." Aida said. It was true that he had numerous treasures of that kind, but it wasn't as authentic as the Buddhist Seed Light, of course.
"I can get that seed from Fog if you want it." Jin Rou smiled, "Just say the word."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying?" Aida felt his back sweating, "It's really okay. There's no need for me to fret over that matter."
Jin Rou didn't say anything more. He knew that Aida wouldn't accept his gesture as the other party would feel obligated to repay it. That was how Aida had lived. And that's also one of the reasons why he was a guardian of one of his vaults.
"Give me the item I kept here 100,237 years ago." Jin Rou spoke, "I remembered I gave it to you to keep it here."
Aida immediately took out his record book of the treasures inside the vault. It also recorded the exact date and time it was there. After a few seconds, he already found it and said, "You want that item, Your Majesty?"
"Yes. I'm going to use it for something." Jin Rou smiled and said, "By now, it should have already charged full of energy."
Aida didn't dilly dally and click his fingers. A small hole in void appeared and he entered his hand there. Soon, he retracted his hand and handed over the item to Jin Rou.
It was a pearl with raging essence inside. It felt like it's going to murder anyone once it was let out. Jin Rou chuckled and said, "Indeed, it's already full of energy."
Han Li had gotten this pearl around three million years ago during his Sixth Challenge. It was his victory reward against an arrogant deity that time.
"What are you going to do with that, Your Majesty?" Aida felt awful looking at the pearl. It was filled with ominous energy that he didn't want to feel.
"This? It has a few uses to me right now." Jin Rou smiled, "All right, I have already consumed much of your time. I will be leaving in a bit now."
"Are you going to meet the other monk, Your Majesty?" Aida said. Han Li was never a disturbance for them and it would remain that way as they'd be forever grateful for the former.
Jin Rou didn't answer this immediately. After a few minutes, he said, "Perhaps not in the meantime. I have already gotten the treasures I want. Furthermore, that monk might angry at me because of that certain event."
It was a painful memory of Han Li. And Jin Rou didn't want to talk about it for now. After all, he was an outsider despite owning Han Li's body.
"Knowing that monk, he will never be angry at His Majesty. You just have to explain it well so that the monk can understand." Aida smiled, "However, if it's Your Majesty's wish, then I support you."
"Thank you." Jin Rou turned his back and activated the exit door, "I wish you live a longer life, Aida. And the prosperity of your temple."
Aida knelt down and bowed his head sincerely, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Please have a safe trip."
After that, Jin Rou entered the exit door following by Zia who was watching them closely.
Aida looked at the distant back of Jin Rou and couldn't help but take a deep sigh, "His Majesty, he feels lonely for some reason. Ah, the changes of the world will be major once again after the peaceful waves."

"Your Majesty, who is that monk you just talked with?" Zia was very curious and couldn't keep it any longer.
"Call me Young Master from now on. I feel like I'm too old for calling me that." Jin Rou commanded, "As for your question, he is a monk, as you have said."
"I mean, what is his identity?" Zia tried to calm herself down.
"Based on your level, you aren't yet qualified to know such information." Jin Rou stopped walking and looked at her behind, "However, I can say that even Icefairy has to kneel down in front of that monk."
Hearing this, Zia was flabbergasted. Even her master had to kneel down in front of him? Did it mean that the monk was one of the oldest existences living in the current world?
