Ultimate Scheming System

Tut, tut, tut, what a scary relationship! Xu Que shook his head, walked directly toward another empty cave, and sealed the entrance.

At present, he felt that the current situation was smooth sailing for him. At least he didn’t need to worry about the three days when he was with them—he didn’t need to worry about saying the wrong things that could expose his identity. Now, all he needed to do was to wait quietly for three days. Then he would trick them, pocket all the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, and leave with his gains! With his strength, he could choose to reveal his identity and snatch the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits with brute force! But the problem was that he didn’t know how to harvest the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits!

Xu Que had only heard of the miracle effects of the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, and he was aware that there was a special way of harvesting it. That was common knowledge in the World of Cultivators. As for the special process of harvesting, Xu Que wasn’t clear about that. That knowledge belonged to the experts.

However, these people seemed confident enough about knowing how to harvest the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, so Xu Que simply continued to disguise his identity. He inquired about nothing and waited for the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits to be harvested.

Three days passed at the speed of light.

During that period, the young woman didn’t come look for Xu Que, nor did anyone else. Instead, the brother of the middle-aged man came out of his cave several times and stared at the middle-aged man’s cave for a long time. At last, he scolded, “b*tch”, turned around, and left! That peculiar scene was captured by Xu Que’s Soul Strength. That made his flesh crawl, because apparently it might be a “scary” brotherhood!

But now that the three-day deadline was up, Xu Que had removed the seal on the entrance to his cave and stepped out. The middle-aged man and the young woman were already out and were standing under the Aquamarine Kirin Tree. They were waiting for the arrival of Xu Que and the other man. The other man appeared just as Xu Que walked out of his cave. They all looked at each other without talking. They gathered under the Aquamarine Kirin Tree.

At that moment, the eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits on the tree were completely ripe. They looked like aquamarine crystals, like Bodhi Beads—very small and exquisite. They were emitting a grand Spiritual Qi and a faint green halo!

When the green light shone on the top of the middle-aged man’s head, Xu Que was speechless. He said to himself that the current sight suited the occasion because he could sense that the young woman was looking at him secretly with seductive eyes!

“All right, now that everyone is here, I’ll begin!” Just then, the middle-aged man spoke,and, at the same time, went nearer to the Aquamarine Kirin Tree. His palm condensed a wisp of Celestial Core Power which was turned into clear water, and he slammed it toward the trunk.

Xu Que stood calmly and observed from the sidelines. Obviously, the middle-aged man knew how to harvest the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits. They had already talked about the division of labor, so it was Xu Que’s best bet to keep quiet! But as the middle-aged man pumped a steady flow of Celestial Core Power into the Aquamarine Kirin Tree, Xu Que found that his strength wasn’t simple. He was more powerful than Zhan Gaoli!

He doesn’t look like he’s been poisoned! Xu Que thought to himself.

At the same time, the young woman’s expression changed slightly. She was shocked by the capacity of the middle-aged man. She had guessed this possibility and couldn’t help but retreat a few steps.

“What? Are you surprised to see that I’m not poisoned?” Just then, the middle-aged man looked at the woman and sneered.

“Brother Feng…Brother Feng, I…” The woman was flustered and her face was full of fear. She looked at Xu Que for help. Xu Que frowned but remained calm. He didn’t want to start his attack before the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits were harvested!

As the middle-aged man continued to harvest the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, he looked at Xu Que and said, “I already know about the scandal between you and Mei Mei. Since you’re from the Zhan family and a disciple of the Dingtian Academy, I didn’t want to make a fuss about it. But, as for the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, I think we should redistribute them. Otherwise, none of us will get any. What’s your opinion?”

He was threatening Xu Que with an obvious warning that if Xu Que didn’t agree to the redistribution, he wouldn’t mind destroying all of the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits!

“Ha, ha, you’re right. I think we should redistribute too!” After a short silence, Xu Que smiled faintly.

“Oh? I wonder how do you want it to be?” The middle-aged man laughed coldly, and his voice was unpleasant to hear.

Xu Que immediately pointed to the Aquamarine Kirin Tree and said in an overbearing manner, “All these Aquamarine Kirin Fruits belong to me!”

“Ha, ha, ha!” When the middle-aged man heard that he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had guessed his answer. But the next moment, his expression was filled with a murderous aura, and he replied, “Young Master Zhan, do not think because you’re from the Zhan Family that I’ll be afraid of you. If you really push me to my limits, I wouldn’t mind completely destroying this Aquamarine Kirin Tree!”

“Really? Then do it. If the Aquamarine Kirin Tree is destroyed, you won’t live either!” Xu Que had a cold expression, and shook his head and said, “But I can give you a choice. Your woman and these Aquamarine Kirin Fruits belong to me, while the Zhan Family can compensate you and your brother with two Inferior Celestial Artifacts!”

“Inferior Celestial Artifacts?” The middle-aged man was startled. If he were to make a comparison, the Inferior Celestials weren’t on par with those Aquamarine Kirin Fruits.

Inferior Celestial Artifacts could be purchased at auction if one had enough Spirit Crystal Stones, plus a little bit of luck.

But the Aquamarine Kirin Fruit was different. If anyone got it, they would definitely choose to eat it. It was almost impossible to sell it. Even if they did sell it, the value of the Aquamarine Kirin Fruit was much more expensive than that of an Inferior Celestial Artifact!

But from a practical point of view, the middle-aged man was a little tempted. Inferior Celestial Artifacts could enhance and improve his strength permanently, which was equivalent to improving a small Cultivation Stage; moreover, he could always take it with him. The Aquamarine Kirin Fruit could only help him break through one Cultivation Stage and it was an expendable item. It was an obvious choice after comparing the practical and functional uses between the two.

Although the Aquamarine Kirin Fruit was more precious in value, it was impossible for him to have the financial capability to buy an Inferior Celestial Artifact. If he wanted to sell the Aquamarine Kirin Fruit, for a person without an eminent background, it was akin to courting death! Hence, its value was relative!

For a person with an eminent background such as Zhan Gaoli, the Aquamarine Kirin Fruit was more precious than an Inferior Celestial Artifact. It was because the latter could be exchanged with Spirit Crystal Stones, but the former couldn’t. But for a middle-aged man who was powerless and with no an eminent background, the Inferior Celestial Artifact was more practical, so its value was higher than the Aquamarine Kirin Fruit.

The middle-aged man was interested in Xu Que’s proposal.

But the problem was he didn’t believe that the Zhan Family would give him the Inferior Celestial Artifacts. With the Zhan Family’s capability, they could easily kill him!

“Ha, ha, Zhan Gaoli, do you think I’ll believe you? I’m afraid if I go over to the Zhan Family, my fate would only be worse.” The middle-aged man sneered.

“No, you’re wrong!” Xu Que shook his head and said proudly, “The Zhan Family is powerful and wealthy. Why would we care for two Inferior Celestial Artifacts? Compared with these eight Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, the two Inferior Celestial Artifacts are really worthless.”

“Heh, Zhan Gaoli, I’m not a fool. When I killed others for their treasures and abducted women, you were still wrapped in diapers. Now what you’re doing was what I did in the past. You snatched my woman and colluded with her to poison me. Talk is cheap. Do you really think I believe you? Let me repeat myself, I’m not a f*cking fool!” The middle-aged man roared.

Xu Que’s lips suddenly twitched. If you’re not a fool then who is, even Buttface is smarter than you!

He shook his head and smiled faintly, “What if I swear by my Inner Demons?”

Swear by his Inner Demons? The middle-aged man was startled, and he couldn’t respond in time.

Just then, Xu Que put out three fingers and cried out, “Under the witness of Heaven, Zhan Gaoli swears by my Inner Demons, as long as you give me the Aquamarine Kirin Fruits, I can guarantee that when you go to the Zhan Family to retrieve the Inferior Celestial Artifacts, the Zhan Family will absolutely fulfill my promise. They will not hurt you. If there’s any violation, I curse Zhan Gaoli to die from extreme lovemaking!”
