“Just a few cups of wine?” Snow Tear Cold was at a loss for words: “Do you know that you just drank sixteen cups of my wine, which has already increased your cultivation level by three hundred years? And now you actually want more wine essence? Aren't you afraid you'll burst?”
“I’m not afraid!” Chu Yang said boldly, “At worst, I’ll just be a good man again in eighteen years!”
Snow Tear Cold was speechless: “I tell you, brother, what we are drinking now is just a small jar of wine essence, less than half a pound, but I’ve diluted it with a hundred pounds of water... And yet, sixteen cups have already increased your cultivation level by three hundred years!”
Chu Yang’s eyes lit up: “I see... then give me ten or eight jars.”
Snow Tear Cold shouted angrily: “Not a single jar!”
Chu Yang persisted: “Five or six jars would be fine.”
“Not even a drop.” Snow Tear Cold was resolute.
“At least two jars!” Chu Yang demanded angrily: “That’s my bottom line. If it’s less, I won’t take it!”
“Only one jar at most!” Snow Tear Cold said: “Take it or leave it!”
“Deal!” Chu Yang quickly clapped his hands: “One jar it is! Bring it here!”
Snow Tear Cold widened his eyes in disbelief.
With annoyance, he tossed out a jar and said, “You've really become shameless.”
Chu Yang quickly caught it in his hands and immediately stored it in the nine calamity space, chuckling: “If I were to care about my face, this jar of wine would be gone. This is good wine that can increase decades of cultivation with just one cup.”
As he spoke, he continued: “What other good things do you have? Since you are going back, and it will take me a long time to find you again when I go up, why not leave some behind?”
With his thick skin, even after living for a million years, Snow Tear Cold couldn’t help but feel speechless. He shook his head vigorously: “There’s nothing else.”
Chu Yang, undeterred, grabbed his sleeve and pulled hard. With a rip, one sleeve fell off.
“What are you doing?” Snow Tear Cold shouted angrily.
“I thought you were wearing something indestructible… turns out it’s not.” Chu Yang said disappointedly.
Is this guy actually trying to strip him?
Snow Tear Cold felt increasingly that it was inappropriate to stay here any longer. Facing such a shameless Chu Yang, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall and had a heart as dark as coal, his sense of helplessness grew stronger, and he sighed: “You’re ruthless!”
Chu Yang was still not ready to give up: “How about you just put me in your storage ring, and I can pick some things myself.”
Snow Tear Cold was startled.
This guy actually wants to go into my treasure vault directly.
“I’m leaving.” With a flash, Snow Tear Cold disappeared without a trace.
Chu Yang’s eyes shifted, and with nimble hands and feet, he collected the ice and snow jade platform, tables, chairs, and the wine pot from the ground into the nine calamity space. He muttered: “So stingy.”
A figure flashed, and Snow Tear Cold reappeared. Staring blankly at the empty spot, he shouted: “Where are my tables, chairs, and wine pot?”
“They’ve already become the Chu family’s property.” Chu Yang said shamelessly: “It’s just something made from ice and snow, yet you look so pained. Trying to act like a powerful cultivator?”
“You don’t understand anything!” Snow Tear Cold shouted angrily: “That is Water Fire Gem, and the Cosmic Cauldron!”
Chu Yang’s eyes brightened, seeking to learn: “Please enlighten me, what are Water Fire Gems and the Cosmic Cauldron?”
Snow Tear Cold shook his head and sighed, extending a hand with one finger. He pointed twice at the tip of Chu Yang’s nose, then nodded vigorously: “Good! You’re really good! Very good…”
Chu Yang innocently replied: “Is it really necessary to praise me so much…”
Before he could finish speaking, Snow Tear Cold had already vanished, followed by a clap of thunder in the Ninth Heaven Cloud. In the distance, a golden light flickered and then disappeared.
