Chapter 912 - Digging Earthworms, Eating Earthworms...

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Your battle has ended, but our bet still hasn’t yet... En, the few of us made a bet during the five man fight just now. The loser has to dig out one thousand earthworms without using any Xuan Qi... He lost, so this is the result. Right now, we’re carrying out the terms of the bet.” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master explained in an unhurried manner.

“Ah? Digging for earthworms? Although it’s a bit awkward to go digging for earthworms with your butt in the air, but the ground is loose, and the commotion earlier must have scared the earthworms here as well, so digging for a thousand earthworms should not be any difficult matter... But what’s with that aggrieved expression? If it’s Qiao Ying, a lady, who’s afraid of anything gross, it can still be understood. But what’s a man like Qu Wu Hui being so disgusted for?!” Jun Mo Xie asked in a laughing tone, still somewhat confused.

“Ah brat, this you don’t understand... We made another bet at the seven versus seven match, that the loser has to eat these one thousand earthworms. Very unfortunately, he lost again. Originally, he still had a chance to win since I very generously gave him the opportunity to choose...” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master said in a very proud manner.

“Pu-ahahaha...” Jun Mo Xie laughed aloud. “In that case... Senior Qu is truly unfortunate! Ha! Who asked you to have so little confidence in me to place your bets on those bunch of weaklings? It’s no wonder that you lost!”

Qu Wu Hui made a sound in his throat, rolled his eyes and did not say anything, continuing to dig earnestly.

“Earthworms! I want those black one, not the red ones! Right, the most disgusting kind...” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master pointed strictly, not leaving an inch of leniency...

The number of earthworms on the ground grew more and more... forming into a small mound. They squirmed energetically, sometimes raising their heads and tails out of top...

When Jun Mo Xie remembered that Qu Wu Hui would soon have to swallow these things into his stomach... he could not help but to retch dryly a little... and his face instantly turned somewhat pale!

That scenario was simply too terrifying to imagine!

The ground was soft and fertile, and although the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s conditions were rigid and many, one thousand thick black earthworms of the most disgusting kind were still dug up by nightfall.

Having completed his task, Qu Wu Hui’s face was the color of dead ash. His body covered in mud, he crawled out of the mud and with a look as if he would rather be dead. His eyes carrying the last wisp of hope, he opened his mouth with a pleading tone. “Brother Fourteenth...”

With the most flattering and fawning smile he could muster, he walked up to the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master in a pitiful manner. All the elegance and pride of a peak expert had disappeared without a trace...

“What?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master lifted his chin and turned his nose to the sky as he snorted arrogantly.

“Brother Fourteenth, look, I’ve already dug up all one thousand earthworms... I didn’t slack off at all...” He said with a sweet voice.

“If you don’t want to slack, hurry up and eat then. Just close your eyes and hold your breath, and everything will be over very soon!” A sinister voice rang out.

“That... my stomach isn’t so good lately; can I not eat...” He smiled fawningly.

“Absolutely not! If you agree to bet, you must accept to lose!” A cold reply, unrelenting and emotionless.

“You! Don’t go too far in bullying!” Qu Wu Hui raised his head with anger.

“How am I bullying you? As expected of an expert from the Holy Lands. To think that you could even utter such shameless and deceitful words. Fine then; you say that I’m a tyrant and a bully? Well then, I’ll be a bully! What, you were the one who accepted the bet; are you going to be deliberately dishonest now?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master snorted.

“I’m not trying to be dishonest... didn’t I did up one thousand earthworms according to your preferences; all thick black ones...” Qu Wu Hui’s neck reddened and his lips trembled as he grabbed the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s arm and swung it before calling out in a sweet voice. “Brother~Four~teenth~...” The voice was soft and coy, like a young girl flirting with her lover...

Jun Mo Xie who was standing on the side felt his entire body shiver and he nearly turned his eyes away. Even Young Master Jun’s mental fortitude was not enough to withstand such a sight...

On the other side, Qiao Ying and Cheng Yin Xiao felt all the hairs on the back of their hands standing straight on their ends. Even all the cultivation that they’d accumulated in over a thousand years was not enough to prepare them for this instant...

“It’s useless even if you call me Fourteenth Old Master! If you dare to bet, you should be prepared to accept the loss. No matter what you say, you still have to eat it today! Not one worm less!” Although Qu Wu Hui was ingratiating and mellow, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was tough and unyielding, completely unmoved!

“You you... You’re asking me to die ah...” Qu Wu Hui stamped his foot with rage. His voice actually sounded like he was holding back tears, and his eyes were red while his shoulders trembled lightly.

“Cry?! You’re crying? Go on then... if you really manage to drop some tears, I’ll let you off today! Why aren’t you crying yet!?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master scoffed coldly. He had already calculated that a peak expert like Qu Wu Hui would never disregard his status like that and start crying in front of other people, especially before a junior...

Besides, eating earthworms is not such an exaggerated matter. This Young Master has also eaten some back when I was sealed... Although it doesn’t taste good, those things are not toxic. If I hadn’t experienced it before, how would this Young Master dare to make such a bet? There is always a backup plan for everything...

However, he’d actually greatly underestimated the terror of a matter like eating live earthworms was to ordinary people...

Before the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master could finish speaking, Qu Wu Hui plomped his butt down on the ground and started wailing loudly, smacking his palms against the ground. Tears flooded from his eyes, and he looked incredibly aggrieved...

He cried in a heart wrenching manner, touching the heavens and earth, while snot and tears intermingled and formed into a mess in front of his face...

In that moment, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, Jun Mo Xie, Qiao Ying, and Cheng Yin Xiao all had the same expressions on their faces. Their mouths and eyes were opened wide with disbelief, and their temples twitched uncontrollably. Eight eyeballs had practically fallen off their sockets and rolled onto the ground...

“I... I f*ck your granddaddy! You’re actually crying for real...” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master cursed with disbelief. It was simply too unexpected... That was a Guardian of the Heaven Saint Palace ah...

“Just a few tears can save me from eating the earthworms, so why wouldn’t I cry? You can try asking everyone present; how would they choose?” Qu Wu Hui temporarily stopped crying and looked up at the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master with his tears stained face. “Go on, what other styles of crying do you want to see? Do you want me to stand up and cry or should I continue sitting down? You want me to lie down and cry? Or should I face the sky and cry? Or maybe you’d like to see me run and cry or wail while jumping on the spot? Even if you want me to sway my butt and cry while dancing sexily, this old man will go all out today to meet your requirements... As long as I don’t need to eat the earthworms!”

“The people of the world normally have a layer of skin on both sides of their faces. While you experts of the Holy Lands are not limited by this, one side of your skin is pasted onto the other side of the face, causing one side to have two layers of skin, while the other side is just completely bare and shameless! Such great talent is something that this junior can never hope to match! Originally, I thought that only Zhan Mu Bai, Hai Wu Ya, and the rest were like that. But it turns out that Senior is the true distinguished talent! This junior is full of respect!” Jun Mo Xie clasped his fists and said with admiration.

There was truly no choice but to be convinced ah. This was too domineering; this kind of shamelessness was simply too amazing!

“Forget it, this Young Master must have been crazy to have interacted sincerely with the lot of you! If I continue to hang around with all you shameless people, this Young Master’s reputation will be completely gone.”

After saying that, he shook his head, not knowing if he should laugh or cry. His body soared up and with a shu sound, he disappeared without a trace. Only a single sentence was left behind after him. “Jun brat, don’t worry and go claim that Exquisite Lotus! If anything happens to you, this Young Master will, as a judge, surely pursue the matter to the end for you, even slaughtering the entire three Holy Lands thoroughly! To me, that’s not a difficult thing at all; haha...”

The voice lingered in the air, while the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s figure had already disappeared completely.

However, that last promise of his before he left was the most important! That single sentence was equivalent to giving Jun Mo Xie a hundred talismans of protection! Even if the Holy Lands wanted to play punk and trick him of his reward, or no matter how much they wanted to deal with Jun Mo Xie... they wouldn’t dare!

Although Jun Mo Xie had a hundred percent confidence that nothing would happen to him, but hearing these words still caused him to feel a bit moved. The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, no matter whether he was violent or crazy, he... was true to himself! He was definitely a person worth befriending!

The three Guardians of the Holy Lands all changed slightly. The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s threats were not said for fun...

Seeing that the disaster had passed, Qu Wu Hui hurriedly scrambled to his feet. Now that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had left, there was naturally no need for him to continue crying. Turning his head to stare at Qu Wu Hui and Cheng Yin Xiao, he demanded fiercely: “What are you two laughing at? If you have the ability... why don’t you go and eat those earthworms for me to see?”

Cheng Yin Xiao widened his eyes and laughed aloud. “Eat what? The two of us didn’t make any bets at all!”

Qu Wu Hui snorted unhappily and turned to look at Jun Mo Xie. “Jun brat, about today’s matter, you’re not allowed to reveal anything! Otherwise, I will never let you off!”

Jun Mo Xie had an honest look on his face as he asked, “Senior Qu, when you said today’s matter, which matter were you referring to? The battle? Or the matter about the explanation? Or perhaps you’re afraid that this junior would tell others about how the Holy Lands were unable to accept defeat, breaking faith and ganging up on people? Senior has to be more specific; otherwise, how will this junior know what you’re referring to?”

“You... how dare you act dumb with this daddy!” Qu Wu Hui’s face was red with embarrassment and anger. His face was fierce, as if he would become violent if there were any disagreements.

“Kekeke, junior understands now. You’re talking about the matter of you crying.” Jun Mo Xie had a look of enlightenment on his face as he exclaimed. “I have to say, Senior Qu’s crying was extremely touching and heartfelt. The voice was full of grief and pain... to be able to cry to such a standard, this junior is already exceedingly impressed. Why would I... do that?”

Qu Wu Hui’s face had turned the color of pig’s liver as he sputtered, unable to say a word. On the side, Qiao Ying and Cheng Yin Xiao started laughing again.

“Let’s go.” Cheng Yin Xiao looked at Jun Mo Xie and said. “I think Young Master Jun is also anxious to get the Exquisite Lotus.”

“There’s no rush; I’m quite free these days, and I still have some time to spare. Even if you want me to accompany the three Seniors to sit here and chat until next year... I still have the time. To be able to obtain guidance from the three Seniors is a good thing too.” Jun Mo Xie said with a bright smile.

“You have the time... but we don’t!” Qu Wu Hui shouted huffily. With a wave of his hand, the huge stone plaque tens of zhang away disintegrated into a pile of dust.

“Just let them stay buried here in peace... don’t let any outsiders disturb their rest.” Qu Wu Hui sighed and after taking one last look at the desolated land, turned and left...

Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose with annoyance. Damn that fellow. I spent such great efforts to make that stone plaque, and you actually didn’t even ask me before destroying it. How ridiculous. Looks like the bigger fist is still the best reason ah...

Helpless, he followed behind the three of them and left...
