Chapter 498: Chapter 498 – The Troublesome Pan An’s Beauty
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The sinister aura was quickly fading from the laboratory building. The name of the building had changed from Brush Spirit Laboratory Building to Abandoned Laboratory Building. Its quality had also fallen from Rare to Ordinary.
Thus, it could be seen that the Brush Spirit who had cast his clone into the real world had made a massive loss. It had not only lost many of its clones but the outpost it had so painstakingly obtained as well.
Of course, now that the threat here was neutralized, Wei Xiao Bei had no intention of staying any longer. He looked at the mummified corpse and sighed in his heart.
If possible, Wei Xiao Bei didn’t want to kill the student. However, things didn’t always go his way and he ended up having to kill the student himself.
As the sinister aura faded, the effect hiding the skeletons vanished as well. Wei Xiao Bei waved his right hand and the corpses were all put in his storage bracelet.
These things could not be exposed. Otherwise, Wei Xiao Bei would be finding trouble for himself.
However, at this moment, some female screams came from outside.
Did something happen?
As Wei Xiao Bei charged to the door, he used [Response Search] to investigate the situation outside.
Nothing had happened. The skeleton near the door had merely terrified the students when they appeared.
Wei Xiao Bei sighed and picked up the pace. His right hand subtly passed by the skeleton as he charged out of the door and it vanished without a trace.
“It’s fine now. These are just some ghastly spirits. It’s no more than an illusion. Don’t come here anymore in the future. It’s not safe.”
The guys were holding up decently. They were afraid, but they kept it hidden in front of the girls. Moreover, the sun was bright out here and it was not as sinister as inside the building, making them far less scared than before.
The problem was with the two girls. Tears were streaming down their cheeks and their bodies were shivering with fright. It seemed like they had been utterly terrified.
It made sense. As sheltered flowers in a greenhouse, the experience from earlier was already scary enough. It would be a wonder if they didn’t get scared upon seeing an actual skeleton.
Xin Yi didn’t know what to do either.
She was a girl as well, but her experience was starkly different from these girls. She didn’t know them either and thus, had no means of consoling them.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei had to step forward. He told a few jokes to try and lift their moods.
Truly, a handsome man had preferential treatment from the ladies.
Though Wei Xiao Bei’s jokes were all tremendously cheesy, the two girls couldn’t stop laughing. One of the girls even boldly grabbed his arm and said with a sweet voice, “Mister, do you have a girlfriend already?” As she said this, her eyes drifted toward Zhu Xin Yi.
Xin Yi could truly be said to be a world-class beauty now. Even the two guys would sneak looks at her, almost drooling from their mouths.
However, women tended to have a natural resistance to the charms of another woman, particularly when there was a handsome man involved.
It was clear that the girl thought of Xin Yi as Wei Xiao Bei’s girlfriend. Her act of grabbing his arm was probably full of mal intentions.
If they were actually a couple, her little act of grabbing his arm would have got Wei Xiao Bei in plenty of trouble when they got home.
Even though they weren’t a couple, Xin Yi’s expression didn’t look too good.
That’s my master! You shameless woman!
Xin Yi thought in her mind.
Even the smartest and most intelligent woman couldn’t keep a calm mind in certain situations.
Xin Yi would probably have taught the two girls a proper lesson if Wei Xiao Bei wasn’t here.
This was a battle between women!
Wei Xiao Bei chuckled and subtly shook his right hand, shaking off the girl’s grasp.
When the girl repeatedly attempted to grab his arm again, she realized that she couldn’t do so at all. She was always blown away by an invisible current before she could get close to Wei Xiao Bei.
Cosmic qi!
Though the cosmic qi that surged around Wei Xiao Bei’s body wasn’t enough to kill anyone, it was more than enough to push a girl away.
“That’s enough. Xin Yi, give them a bit of guidance if you will.”
Wei Xiao Bei didn’t know what to do either. In all honesty, he had no means of dealing with these girls. So, he left the work to Xin Yi instead.
Meanwhile, he called the two boys to the side. He called it guidance, but it was just threats.
He had them understand that if they spoke about what happened today, they might face the vengeance of ghosts or monsters.

Either way, he made sure to say anything that would get them to keep their mouths shut.
Wei Xiao Bei had no intention of becoming an internet sensation.
Once Xin Yi had provided the two girls with some proper ‘guidance’, the whole affair was finally settled.
Wei Xiao Bei brought Xin Yi back to the dojo after having the four students return on their own.
“Xin Yi, come here.”
Everyone was practicing in the dojo right now. Once Xin Yi had finished explaining the punches to the teenagers, Wei Xiao Bei waved at her from the entrance of the indoor training room, a cup of tea in his hands.
“Master, I’m here.”
Xin Yi jogged into the training room, her pretty large chests heaving as she breathed. There was a bit of sweat on her smooth forehead and her cheeks were just slightly flushed, radiating youth all over her entire person.
It was fortunate that Wei Xiao Bei had his eyes closed. Otherwise, he felt a little too embarrassed to look straight at her.
She was his disciple, after all.
Wei Xiao Bei sighed internally and returned his focus to the present. he had Xin Yi sit down and ask about the progress of her training. He then took out the Brush Spirit’s Brush.
“This is called the Brush Spirit’s Brush. Take it. Master will explain the uses of this brush.”
Thus, Wei Xiao Bei gave her an explanation of all its effects. Xin Yi’s eyes glowed when she heard about what the brush could do.
Xin Yi had heard Wei Xiao Bei talk about these attributes before. She knew that the key attribute to her special skill [Charm Control] was the Charm attribute.
As such, she didn’t reject the gift of the brush and gladly accepted it.
The brush looked pretty nice as well. It was about seven to eight centimeters in length with a bronze metallic sheen on its body. It was incredibly tough and had a small ring at the end of the pen that allowed it to be hung around the neck like a necklace.
Wei Xiao Bei took out some monster tree roots and rubbed them into a fine rope to act as the necklace for the brush.
The rope made of the monster tree root could only be used temporarily as a necklace.
Though it was much tougher than ordinary rope, it could hardly endure the strength of a Two-Star Elite. Moreover, it looked extremely ordinary and appeared ugly when it was placed around Xin Yi’s neck.
Wei Xiao Bei wondered if he should learn some craftsmanship skills as well. Of course, it would be best if he learned such crafts in the Dust World.
If he could learn some of these skills, he could be self-sufficient with a lot more things. More crucially, he could better utilize the treasures at hand as well.
Wei Xiao Bei didn’t delve too much into the train of thought. After having Xin Yi leave, he summoned Ge Da Tian’s clone.
The clone appeared to be very impatient with Wei Xiao Bei’s summons. It appeared even more frustrated than the last time.
However, Wei Xiao Bei knew that he couldn’t fault the clone for its foul mood. As was mentioned before, every time the clone was summoned, a portion of its power would be exhausted and it would vanish at the end.
Though the clone had no consciousness of its own and couldn’t care less about disappearing, it would become weaker as its power was exhausted. The clone just didn’t like this feeling of exhaustion.
Even so, the clone could not refuse to answer Wei Xiao Bei’s questions unless it involved some unspeakable or classified knowledge.
“Does this god know where I can learn some craft?”
Wei Xiao Bei’s address of the clone became much more respectful since he had a request to make of him.
“Crafts?”
The clone had yet to fully wake up from its deep sleep.
After a short moment, the clone finally replied with a question, his tone unamused and full of disdain, “Brat, the craft you’re talking about is item crafting isn’t it?”
Item crafting?
Wei Xiao Bei remembered two webnovels he had read before, “Establishing the Court of Dao” and “Spreading the Great Dao”. (T/N: Shameless plug by the author, it’s his earlier works and it’s meant as a joke.) Both of these novels had described the methods of item crafting for Daoists in great detail.
To think he had forgotten this and be looked down upon this clone for no reason.
He hastily nodded, but what Ge Da Tian said next almost made him cough up blood. “When it comes to item crafting, the best has to be the Honoured Lord of the Origin, the Lord of the Numinous Treasure, and Lord of the Way and Its Virtue. That said, the Three Pure Ones are too far above your status. There’s no way you can meet them. Next, you have…”
Ge Da Tian then started listing all the excellent item crafters amongst the gods, deities, and buddhas. Wei Xiao Bei could feel his face turn dark just listening to him ramble on.
Was this clone brain-dead or something? Would he ever have the chance to even associate with these big guys?
Even their attendants were probably too important to even speak to him if he met them!
Even some of the lower-ranked figures and forces Ge Da Tian was talking about were not people he could hope to meet.
Fortunately, Ge Da Tian finally mentioned a more accessible party. The Shing Wong Temple’s Item-Crafting Demon Officer. Of course, even Ge Da Tian said that the Demon Officer’s products were all of extremely terrible quality and could hardly be used. Still, it was more than enough for Wei Xiao Bei to learn the skill.
