Douluo Dalu : White God 44 Have Faith In The Lord Fifth, Gain Eternal Life!

"I'm sorry, let me rephrase it again. I don't think that I can accept your offer with just a mere thousand years old spirit bonce, Ms. Qian Renxue, the granddaughter of the Spirit Hall's Supreme Elder."

Both Qian Renxue and She Long were taken aback, they were sure that they haven't divulged that information. The fact that Qian Renxue is the granddaughter of the supreme elder was top secret and was kept only among the upper echelon of the spirit hall. So, how does this second prince know about her true ident.i.ty?

"What do you mean? She's not the grand-"

"Hmmm, your face gives you away, you know? Your eyes panicked"

Just when She Long wants to deny Mubai's words, Elder Lei interjected.

"Hey, but she's not the-"

"Do you want to zip your mouth or I have to do it myself?"

Different from She Long frantic reaction, Qian Renxue was calm. After feel surprised by Mubai's sudden words, she quickly regained her calm. She lifted the veil from her face and smiled.

"Ah! You're the one from last night, you just disappeared after we dance, fortunately, you didn't leave your gla.s.s heels. If you did, I might as well call you cinderella."

"Cinde what??"

"Cinderella, anyway it's not important. I won't give Asya to you, if you want to be together with Asya, you might as well give yourself to me. I promise I won't mistreat you."

She Long wanted to pounce at Mubai when he heard Mubai asked her Lady to be his, but he managed to control himself when he saw Elder Lei's gaze.

"I must refuse."

"It's a pity then, you smell nice though." Mubai shrugged his shoulder, then nonchalantly shook his head.

"Then there's nothing to talk about, is it? Then I will excuse myself, I have another guest to meet."

Mubai then stood up and walked toward the door, he just chuckled, he got nothing to lose and he got to know an important person from the spirit hall in person. He just needs to think about how to maximize his gain from this meeting later.

"Wait!"

"Anything I can help you with, Ms. Qian?" Hearing Renxue called him, Mubai stopped his step and turned to face Qian Renxue again. An amiable smile still plastered on his face, his eyes slit in curved lines like a reversed smile.

"C-Can I will really be together with Asya if I follow y-"

"My Lady, it's time for us to go back."

She Long stood up and gesturing for Qian Renxue to also follow him outside, but when they pa.s.sed the door, Mubai opened his mouth and his smile vanished from his face.

"Actually, even if I said yes, your so-called sisterhood won't last long... At least not the way it is right now. I don't think Asya is ready to face her mental demon yet, not with her state and mental strength."

...

At dusk three days after, Mubai could be seen in his office room leaning against his chair. On his desk, the piles of doc.u.ments were no more.

"Aaah, unlike with the spirit hall, the meeting with the Shrek Academy went smoothly. With this arrangement, when my Nine Heaven Sect Emerged in the future, it will surely soar in the high sky just like a carp that leap the dragon gate.

"The ma.s.ses now know not to mess with the Golden Roc because of yesterday event when I activated the Energy Nullification array. Moreover, I finally found someone capable and I can wash my hands off of this Golden Roc's development. Life was never this good~"

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Come in."

A young man with an ordinary appearance, simple long black hair, white-colored western-style suit, and his especially bright eyes was stepping in Mubai's office and respectfully bowed. If he channeled his spirit energy to his back, then a Golden-colored Roc tattoo could be seen valiantly on his back.

"President, all of the item stock has been sorted. The profit, material cost, the blacksmiths' payment, and others also have been calculated and accounted."

"Good work Qin Ming, it was a genius stroke to recruit you to be this Golden Roc Manager and my representative. Later when peoples' curiosities have been perked off, then you will step up as the Golden Roc's representative."

Mubai was pleased, yesterday when Shrek Academy offered their cooperation and services in return for sponsors.h.i.+p for their academy, Mubai saw many untapped potentials in this Shrek Academy. Mubai a.s.serted his own terms and one of them was for Shrek Academy to only receive the sponsors.h.i.+p from the Golden Roc company.

After they agreed on their partners.h.i.+p, Mubai approached Qin Ming and Shrek teachers and staff one by one personally. As a result, Qin Ming was given the position as the General Manager of the Golden Roc Company. He was currently tutored by Mubai and several other professional teachers in the political subject, the macro, and the micro economy subject along with others. Fortunately, Qin Ming was very talented and he was hardworking, in the simpler terms he was an unpolished gem.

"As you wish, President. I have several questions, such as..."

Since the very beginning, Qin Ming was very eager to learn, he was overwhelmed by the fact that Mubai who despite years younger than he was, was simply smarter and way more knowledgable than him. Mubai patiently answered all of Qin Ming's questions, he guides Qin Ming to clear all of his doubts.

"Thank you, President, for clearing away all of my doubts."

"Qin Ming, make sure that you stay in the building and learn everything need to be learned in this week."

"Yes, I will study earnestly to fulfill my role flawlessly."

After he fulfilled his thirst for knowledge, Qin Ming excused himself and continuing whatever thing he did before.

"Ah Si, call Asya and Xiao Chen here. Also, tell Flender that he can go back by the end of this month, and tell him to give me his answer before that."

Mubai's shadow was flickered a few times and then back to its tranquil state like before.

...

"Asya, Xiao Chen, the day after tomorrow is the Grand final for the Martial tournament... And I want you two to either lock yourself to train in this the bas.e.m.e.nt below or to be sent to train in the outside of the capital starting from tomorrow, you two have made me greatly disappointed with your laziness."

"But Master, I have trained hard for-"

In front of Mubai, there were two peoples -a young boy and a young woman- stood up nervously, one of them was Xiao Chen while the other was our lost girl, Asya.

"No matter you have been cultivated earnestly these past few days, Xiao Chen. You still haven't shown any progress. And you Asya, how can you get lost for months? There's a d*mn road, and you can just follow it and you can arrive at Paotai town in no more than two months."

Asya was flushed hard, she was embarra.s.sed and sad, she failed her master expectation.

"I thought that you want to avenge your clan, it seems that you're fine with they all dead and their murderers are freely roaming the continent ma.s.sacring another unfortunate clan. I thought that you have made your resolution Asya..."

"I-I am, I will avenge my clan."

"Xiao Chen, do you know? With your current strength, let alone protect your mother, you can't even protect yourself. Do you think you are good with just reaching a spirit Grand Master rank at your age? Although it is rare, there are many younglings at your age that even surpa.s.s you. So, etch my words deep in your mind, YOU ARE WEAK."

Both of Asya and Xiao Chen became pale, they clenched their fist and grit their teeth.

"That's all, tomorrow morning before dawn, I want to see the two of you in the Lobby hall. Xiao Chen, bring your mother too, I have something to talk with her. Dismissed."

Both of Asya and Xiao Chen dragged their feet to went back to their place, Asya went to a room in the living quarter for the staff, while Xiao Chen back to the inn he staying at with his mother.

'I'll just lock 'em up here for few days with the training excuse. And with madam Xiao here, it will be easier to protect her from any harm tomorrow.'

...

Tonight the sky was clear, and the moon s.h.i.+nes brightly. Somewhere in Starfall Capital City, there were dark-robed peoples stood up circling an altar with an obelisk on its center filled with an unknown rune. Among them, there was a man with grey spiky hair and elf-like long ears with huge muscular body stood in the altar.

"The blood sacrifices have been fulfilled, tomorrow, the blood moon will show itself, and the tower of doom shall arise from the h.e.l.l. All hail the darkness, ALL HAIL THE DEMON G.o.d!"

"""ALL HAIL THE DEMON G.o.d!"""

"The descendant of the Sage shall peris.h.!.+ KILL!"

"""KILL! KILL! KILL"""
