Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1179 - 451: Auspicious Falling Petals

"Killing me is a small matter, drinking is a big one. Earth Master, since you’re here, have a drink."

Zhou Xuan got up, like a half-host in the eatery, went to the cabinet, and fetched a clean set of dishes and cups.

Earth Child was somewhat surprised by Zhou Xuan’s composure, but thinking of the scene at Yellow Field Prefecture, before the battle with Zhao Jinjia, Zhou Xuan was just as calm, sitting on the red soil of the Sword Tomb, waiting with ease.

During the great battle, he had such a leisurely demeanor, not to mention that Zhou Xuan had returned to Mingjiang Prefecture.

Mingjiang Prefecture was Zhou Xuan’s "Land of Wishing Power," able to harness the city’s momentum to perform the Gorge True Scripture.

Earth Child pulled a chair and sat directly on the ground. At five hundred pounds, Sister Cui’s bamboo and wooden chairs weren’t sturdy enough; sitting fully would surely break several.

"Great Master, the wine is good."

Earth Child received a bowl of wine, drained it, and spoke about "Zhao Youting," saying, "Today, my secret contact at Qintianjian sent me a confidential report saying Zhao Youting went to the Observatory to seek an audience with Earth Child.

This Zhao Youting belongs to the Tunnel Armor Sect; you killed Zhao Jinjia, and he went to see Earth Child immediately after, probably to leverage Earth Child’s power against you."

"That Earth Child... I heard from Lao Bai Lu, said to be exceedingly powerful."

"It’s not just exceedingly powerful."

Earth Child said, "The Nine Prefectures’ God Traveling Department, in name, are all under Earth Child’s control. There’s a saying in Jing Country—’Better to violate heavenly law than to provoke Earth Child,’ as it’s a living Netherworld King in Jing Country’s human world."

"After meeting Earth Child, did Earth Child issue any instructions?"

Zhou Xuan asked again.

"That I haven’t heard, only heard that Zhao Youting came out of the Observatory joyfully, so he must’ve gotten Earth Child’s approval."

"Let him be happy then, but if he causes trouble in my Mingjiang Prefecture, I won’t care what Earth Child is... when it’s time to act, I’ll be resolute."

Zhou Xuan’s words were loud and firm,

Earth Child quickly supported Zhou Xuan’s hand, comforting, "Great Master, I’m worried for your attitude which led me to Mingjiang Prefecture,

Earth Child is powerful, and you can’t contend with it now, so you should temper your temperament, don’t be reckless."

"Moreover, although Tunnel Armor Sect is friendly with us ’Mr. Ye,’ ultimately, those little Taoist priests are mere watchdogs raised by Earth Child. Killing a sect leader is no big deal,

anyway, those priests are plenty, just find another sect leader -- it’s nothing major."

Earth Child earnestly said, "I can be a peacemaker, say a few nice words to Earth Child, resolve your quarrel with Tunnel Armor, turn weapons into jade and silk."

These words warmed Zhou Xuan’s heart.

Friendship through life and death is true friendship, yet Zhou Xuan didn’t wish to assume this favor, saying,

"I appreciate Earth Master’s goodwill, but I still say—if Earth Child wants a fight, we’ll fight. If Tunnel Armor keeps picking on me, let them come,

I will not retreat, even if Earth Child comes personally, I won’t bow."

"Great Master, are you that strong?"

Earth Child initially thought Zhou Xuan was strong enough, but until arriving at Mingjiang Prefecture, Earth’s bone seemed harder than previously imagined.

"Now Great Master is not only strong but also high."

The Painter nearby said to Earth Child, "Do you know what kind of figure Great Master is now?"

"Just the unrivaled Great Master?" Earth Child was really stumped by the Painter.

What kind of figure is Great Master? Just a top figure in Mingjiang Prefecture, but as for specific duties, he couldn’t quite say.

"After leading Twin Fish into the Secret Realm, Great Master is now a Dan Officer of the Heavenly Dome."

The Painter raised his cup to introduce Earth Child.

"There are quite a few Dan Officers of the Heavenly Dome, in Earth Child’s eyes, it might not be much."

Earth Child pondered.

His words, though harsh, were indeed true,

If the title of Dan Officer was useful, Fish Monk was killed by Zhou Xuan, yet the Heavenly Dome people ignored it?

"Dan Officer and Dan Officer aren’t the same."

Li Changxun had ingested god-level elixirs, so his insight differed from others, he said, "If the elixir’s refined poorly, it’s only fit to send to Nine Palaces or Heavenly Eye Taoist to consume."

The Heavenly Court’s top three—Tunnel Armor ’Nine Palaces,’ Heavenly Eye Temple ’Heavenly Eye Taoist,’ Dragon Seeking ’Mountain Ancestor.’

Li Changxun not only cleverly excluded himself but also mocked the Nine Palaces and Heavenly Eye Taoist, enjoying himself.

"And if the elixir is refined well?"

Earth Child asked.

"Then like our Great Master." Li Changxun made a "requesting medicine" gesture and said, "Even Jing Country ’Heaven and Earth’ sends people to get two pills from Great Master."

"Not asking for the complete elixir, today’s Xuanzi just refined some elixir dust, and ’Heaven and Earth’ sent people to hurry up and request it."

Yun Ziliang spoke, but his temper flared as he talked, and he slapped Li Changxun’s head, scolding, "It’s because of you, I haven’t even seen a root of the elixir hair."

"Hey..." Li Changxun dared not retort, pretending to be oblivious.

Only upon hearing this did Earth Child realize that Zhou Xuan’s status had risen even higher,

If one becomes the hottest and most powerful Dan Officer in the world, indeed no need to fear Earth Child,

Moreover, it’s not entirely true that Earth Child’s heart felt no pride,
