Chapter 487: Chapter 487

After making the deal with Ye Jinlan, Xiao Jinting and Xu Muan left the Ye house.

Xu Muan constantly tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Jinting.

Xiao Jinting looked at him and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

Xu Muan said, “It doesn’t matter. That girl seems to take a fancy to you. Her eyes light up when she looks at you.”

Xiao Jinting said casually, “You’ve got her wrong. She was looking at my ring with glinting eyes.” That damn girl was trying to get treasures from him.

“Maybe.” Xu Muan felt he was lucky to have such an outstanding husband. He was blessed.

There were a few years away from the opening of the Tower of Babel. Xiao Jinting planned to collect some resources before that. There were quite many local specialties appealing to him.

When they went into a shop, a sales assistant came over and greeted, “What can I help you?”

Xiao Jinting said casually, “We’re just looking.”

The assistant said, “Mister, you look familiar.”

Xiao Jinting got interested and looked at him. “Do I?”

The assistant scratched his head and said, “Yes, but I don’t remember where we met before.”

Xiao Jinting smiled. He had left Nebula for decades. Although the great sects had been keeping the rewards for hunting him, he was a legendary figure to many people. The shop assistant might have seen his image on the wanted notice, but he couldn’t recognize Xiao Jinting.

Xiao Jinting said, “You might have met someone who looks like me.”

A Golden Core cultivator of the shop saw Xiao Jinting and turned pale. “Senior, why have you come?”

The shop assistant was curious to see the arrogant shop manager turn white at the sight of Xiao Jinting.

Xiao Jinting said with a broad smile, “I come to see if I need anything. Mister, don’t you welcome me?”

Xiao Jinting felt odd when he saw the scared manager. He didn’t look ferocious. Why did the manager get scared out of his wits? What a coward!

After Xia Jinting went upstairs, a female shop assistant went up to the assistant that greeted Xiao Jinting and said, “Xiaowu, it was bold of you to talk to that senior.”

Xiaowu said in confusion, “Who’s he?”

“The demons and humans posted rewards for catching him before.”

Xiaowu widened his eyes and said, “Is he Xiao Jinting? The reward for catching him is the highest in the history of the world. Whoever is so lucky as to see him and know his whereabouts will be generously rewarded. Am I going to make a fortune?”

“In your dream. You are so idiotic that you can’t ever make any fortune. He’s been missing for decades, and the great sects removed the reward once he showed up.”

Xiaowu asked in confusion, “Why did they remove the reward?”

“They are not his rival. When he came back, he almost blasted Fu Li. Who has the guts to fight with him?”

The female assistant ruefully watched Xiao Jinting going upstairs. She could neither defeat him nor seduce him. It was a pity that Xu Muan was with Xiao Jinting.

Xiaowu looked in the direction that Xiao Jinting went, shuddering. “I remember it now. Devil Xiao is bloodthirsty. He has killed all the beauties that slept with him. He likes to eat the beauties and the babies. He’s abominable.”

Back then, the great sects slung mud at Xiao Jinting in order to catch him. The rumor had been twisted, and Xiao Jinting had become a devil in Nebula.

Xiao Jinting looked downstairs. When Xiaowu met his eyes, he almost went wet in the pants.

The shop manager asked frightfully, “Senior Xiao, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “I just heard some weird things.” Did he like to eat humans? Why didn’t he know about it himself?”

…

Miao Han muttered as he saw Xiao Jinting getting out of the shop. “I seem to see Xiao Jinting.”

Cao Tong gave a wry smile and said, “So what? We can only look at him without doing anything.”

The great sects had been looking forward to Xiao Jinting’s return, but they could do nothing when he came back. Fu Li was beaten up, and Long Xue didn’t dare to attack Xiao Jinting. No one in Nebula dared to offend him.

Miao Han frowned. “How did he become so powerful?”

When Xiao Jinting fought in the competition on behalf of the Ye family, he was a mere Golden Core. When he went out of the Tower of Babel, he was only a lucky guy. However, when he came back this time, he had overwhelming power.

Shortly after Xiao Jinting came back, he almost killed the arrogant Fu Li, who went back to the deep sea in embarrassment. Miao Han was relieved that his ancestor didn’t make moves earlier than Fu Li. Otherwise, his family would be used by Xiao Jinting to establish his authority.

Fu Li was strong enough to survive Xiao Jinting’s attack, but Xiao Han’s ancestor was much weaker.

Cao Tong said, “Fu Li has embarrassed himself this time.” The demons were more powerful than the humans in Nebula. Fu Li ruled part of the sea, and people stay away from him in fear.

Miao Han said with jealousy, “The Ye family is lucky.”

Although the Ye family didn’t get anything from the tower, they cultivated several Golden Cores with Xiao Jinting’s pills. It was likely that there would be a Nascent Soul among the Golden Cores in a hundred years. Ye Jinlan was made the head of the family because of her sharp eye for talents.
