Chapter 1340: Chapter 35: Shou Zhe Delighted with the Acquisition of a [Dao-level Item] Chapter 1340: Chapter 35: Shou Zhe Delighted with the Acquisition of a [Dao-level Item] …

“Really, truly?”

The Blood Spirit asked weakly.

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Wang Zongchang, who was prying up floor tiles on the side, chimed in. “Our Wang family is a warm, big family. Once you move over, you’ll get to experience what liveliness really means.”

“As if you needed to say more, out of all these people, you’re the worst,” the Blood Spirit retorted angrily. “Not even sparing a single brick.”

“My Fourth Uncle always said this is being eco-friendly,” Wang Zongchang, well into his years, naturally had thick skin. “Every brick and tile from the Divine Martial Era is extraordinary, their kiln-craftsmanship is anything but common, it’s such a waste to bury them in water.”

Meanwhile, as they spoke, on the other side, Wang Shouzhe and Wang Luo Jing were also sorting through the Blood Venerate’s inheritance.

At this moment, the Sacred Gu Codex had no way out, feeling utterly unwilling, but seeing Luo Jing’s resolved will, it ultimately opened the [Secret Treasury of the Blood Venerate] inside the research lab.

It was a hidden Storage Space, similar in concept to a storage box, even more akin to Wang Shouzhe’s Portable Space.

From the outside, it just looked like an ordinary wall, which required a specific method to activate before a slightly twisted spatial passage would appear.

The passage was dark and profound, where any light and energy, upon touching it, got instantly swallowed, making it impossible to see anything from outside.

Wang Shouzhe and Luo Jing stepped into the passage together and soon disappeared into the dark corridor.

The Sacred Gu Codex hurriedly flapped its wings and followed, with even Emperor Longchang shamelessly scuttling after them, ready to broaden his horizons.

Following closely behind Emperor Longchang was an unobtrusive old Yao.

The Wu Family of the Cold Moon from the Immortal Dynasty was also a formidable clan, whose ancestors had once excavated a True Immortal Ruins. In his early years when Emperor Longchang studied travel in the Immortal Dynasty, he had seen records of it at the Wu Family of the Cold Moon, and even paid his respects to the statue of the ancestor Wu Panpan, but he wasn’t so lucky himself, never having encountered the Void Realm Ruins.

“Shouzhe, I did contribute this time, you have to give me a share,” Emperor Longchang said somewhat excitedly.

“Your Majesty, all these are inheritances passed down to Luo Jing by her past-life Master,” Wang Shouzhe said leisurely. “You, a Great Emperor, really have the face to ask for things from your junior? Besides, you only came to enjoy the bustle, what contribution did you make? It’s Old Yao who’s been wholeheartedly helping and taking care of the younger generation all the way, exploring the dungeon, really going through hardships.”

“Ha ha~ Master overpraises me, this servant was just running errands as instructed by Madam Ruolan, doing some basic operations,” Old Yao said beaming with joy, “It’s not at all ‘hardships.'”
“You stingy little brat! We should stop calling you Wang Shouzhe and instead call you Wang Shoucai…” Emperor Longchang, once again irritated, his eyebrows stood upright, “Although I didn’t make a move, my very presence is a form of deterrence. Without me, would Jiang Qingsnow be so obedient? You should at least share a token with me, to let me pay off my gambling debt.”

Wang Shouzhe slapped his forehead, looking oddly at Emperor Longchang, “You gambled again? How much do you owe this time!?”

“Well… it wasn’t really gambling, just some family entertainment,” Emperor Longchang said awkwardly, rubbing his hands, “I’m short by a hundred and some thousand Immortal Crystals now, just half the price of a Divine Spiritual Treasure. I was about to make a comeback this time, I won quite a bit at midterm, it’s just the latter part… sigh! If only I knew when to quit…”

“Could you few pay a bit more attention to the influence you have? There are so many young ones in the family, leave some positive and healthy images for the kids, set a good example, okay?” Wang Shouzhe was exasperated.

“What are you talking about? I’m a semi-retired Great Emperor, and for Da Qian’s billions of subjects, I’ve been working hard for thousands of years. What’s wrong with playing mahjong in my old age?” Emperor Longchang, fuming with anger, his whiskers blowing.

“Don’t worry, Master Shouzhe, the younger generation at home all use His Majesty as a negative example for study. Gambling is very harmful, and everyone takes it as a warning,” Old Yao added laughingly from the side, “But His Majesty has a point. After all, he’s been hard at work all his life, it’s hard to find a hobby… And there aren’t many years left to live, he’ll soon be a former emperor, so let him be.”

“You old thing… are you really my man?” Emperor Longchang almost popped his eyes out, “What exactly has Ruolan given you?”

“Your Majesty, I also served you my whole life,” Old Yao said, “Now that there aren’t many years left to live, I need to earn more money for retirement, right?”

“You old thing! You’re implying I’m broke…”

“Enough, enough, you two don’t fight,” Wang Shouzhe, utterly helpless, stretched out his hand and pulled out a stack of Wang family’s treasury cheques from the Storage Ring, stuffing them into Emperor Longchang’s arms, “Your Majesty, I’ll pay off this debt for you with my private funds.”

“Shouzhe, you actually have a secret private fund?” Emperor Longchang immediately took the cheques with a beaming smile, giving Wang Shouzhe a knowing look, “Don’t worry, given our father-son relationship, I won’t snitch to Ruolan.”

Thanks a bunch.

Wang Shouzhe was rather helpless with Emperor Longchang.

Mainly because he was shamelessly thick-skinned. When he heard the news, he insisted on sticking around to “help out,” helping to explore the Bloody Dawn Temple dungeon, all for the sake of a little gain, right?

After settling Emperor Longchang, the group had already reached the inside of the Secret Treasury.
