Chapter 1007: I’ve Never Promised Not to Kill You

The Heavenly Kismet Fruit? Xu Que was surprised at what he had just heard.

F*ck, you mean to say that this egg is the Heavenly Kismet Fruit? No wonder it felt so wrong, a little soft and squishy!

“That’s, that’s impossible! How could you get past the restrictive spell?” A horrified scream rang from beneath the tombstones. The Remnant Souls were all stunned beyond belief. They never imagined that Xu Que could get past the restrictive spell and take the treasure box out of the formation. Not only that, but he also retrieved the Heavenly Kismet Fruit!Most important, this fellow was only injured by the outer force of the restriction. The injuries he suffered were merely skin deep and non-life-threatening. That was totally different from how they remembered the restrictive spell!

“Why would it be impossible? As I said, getting this thing out was child’s play!” Xu Que smirked as he stood up.

The next moment, the System activated its automatic recovery ability. The wounds on Xu Que began to heal quickly and disappeared within seconds. Everyone present was shocked by his recovery speed. Blood had been gushing out of him a second before, but now he’s fully healed. The speed at which he recovered was too freaking fast!

Bai Cailing was astounded too. Even cultivators at her level could not recover this quickly from such a severe injury without any medicinal items!

This fellow…who is he? He’s too powerful compared to other cultivators at the Form Synthesis Stage! Suspicion and awe brewed in Bai Cailing’s heart.

“Come on, Miss Cabbage. A 3-stripe Spiritual Tao Stone, right? Here you go!” Xu Que looked toward Bai Cailing and threw the wooden box over.

Bai Cailing felt complicated emotions as she took the wooden box and was slightly dazed. Did she really obtain a precious 3-stripe Spiritual Tao Stone, just like that?

“Miss Cabbage, look at me, a man of my word! Remember that IOU? I hope that you will honor your promise too in the future!” Xu Que laughed. He turned and walked toward Jiang Hongyan.

He had no use for the 3-stripe Spiritual Tao Stone. By giving something like that to Bai Cailing, he would make her indebted to him, killing two birds with one stone. A favor from a Human Celestial powerhouse was not to be belittled. He thought that he had just made a pretty neat deal.

“Come on, Little Miss, here comes the Heavenly Kismet Fruit!” Xu Que passed the white egg to Jiang Hongyan.

Jiang Hongyan frowned slightly and did not take the fruit. Instead, she simply looked at Xu Que without a word.

Xu Que smiled resignedly, “All right, I was wrong. I have sinned! I’m inhuman! I’ll listen to you next time and not put myself in danger!”

“Really?” Jiang Hongyan asked calmly. She wanted a promise from Xu Que.

Xu Que thumped his chest immediately and assured her, “Of course, for real! I never go back on my word.”

“You’re lying!” Xu Feifei shouted immediately. “Sister Hongyan, don’t fall for his words! This fellow has been like this since young. Anything he says while thumping his chest cannot be trusted!”

“Wahh, Xu Feifei, you traitor!” Xu Que glared.

“Hmph! You’re the one who keeps doing all sorts of dangerous stuff!” huffed Xu Feifei. She even waved her little pink fists at Xu Que. With Jiang Hongyan backing her up, this girl had no fear toward Xu Que at all.

Xu Que gave up. Even without Jiang Hongyan taking Xu Feifei’s side, he wouldn’t have the heart to hit his dear little sister.

“Little one.” Jiang Hongyan finally spoke in a soft tone, “Don’t do that again!”

“Okay!” Xu Que beamed brightly as he pressed the Heavenly Kismet Fruit into Jiang Hongyan’s hands.

He knew that Jiang Hongyan was worried about him and thought that there was no need for him to take the risk. However, Xu Que felt that it was a risk worth taking, a risk he felt compelled to take. Don’t ask him why. He simply would feel strange all over if he didn’t act tough.

Apart from the Heavenly Kismet Fruit, Xu Que had earned a hefty sum of almost 100,000 Acting Tough Points. With that, the total amount he had has reached over 300,000 points. Although this sum was still a far cry from what he had before, it was enough for him to splurge now and then. At least he didn’t need to worry about not having enough points when he cast the King of Tough-Acting Fist.

“Okay. Now, it’s time to settle some scores!” A smile graced Xu Que’s lips as his gaze swept toward the tombstones. The Remnant Souls underneath the tombstones shook in fear. Now that Xu Que had gotten his hands on the Heavenly Kismet Fruit and the 3-stripe Spiritual Tao Stone, there was no need for him to be wary about the Remnant Souls any longer.

“Young…young man, don’t be impulsive. It…it was all a misunderstanding!” cried one of the Remnant Souls, his tone no longer haughty.

“A misunderstanding? He, he, how then do you suppose we should resolve this…misunderstanding?” Xu Que flashed his pearly white teeth and walked over with a smile.

The Remnant Souls were terrified. They quickly shouted, “How would you like to resolve this?”

“All right, call me Grandpa!”

“Grandpa!”

“Scram! I don’t have grandsons like you guys!”

“Huh?”

“I’ll give you all another chance. Am I handsome?”

“Handsome!”

“F*ck, you good-for-nothings! Did you mean to say that there’s nothing in me except for my handsomeness?”

“Ah…”

The Remnant Souls almost broke down as Xu Que worked them harder and harder. He even told Buttface to do his toilet, big and small, on top of their graves, making a huge, horrible mess.

However, they had no choice if they wanted to survive. The Remnant Souls proposed to tell Xu Que the way to refine the Heavenly Kismet Fruit for Xu Que to spare their lives. Ordinary cultivators who wished to cultivate the Heavenly Kismet Fruit could do it the simple way. They would refine it just like any medicinal items.

However, Jiang Hongyan was different. As she was the culmination of a Body of Kismet formed by nurture, she needed a particular way of refinement to transform that nurtured Kismet into a natural Kismet. Jiang Hongyan would need to nurture the Heavenly Kismet Fruit with her Soul until she reached the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage. Right at the point when she breaks through into the Half-Celestial Stage, she would absorb the Heavenly Kismet Fruit into her body by the strength of the Heavenly Tribulations, integrating the Kismet into her body and to be reborn.

“Was what they said true?” Xu Que would not trust those Remnant Souls easily, so he turned to ask Bai Cailing.

Bai Cailing shook her head slightly. “I’ve just heard the Holy Mother mention it in passing. While I don’t remember all of it, what they said wasn’t that far off. Stepping into the Half-Celestial Stage from the Great Vehicle Stage was almost like an evolution. In such times, many would use precious herbs to refine their bodies. I’d assume that the Heavenly Kismet Fruit works the same way.”

Xu Que nodded and turned once again to the tombstones.

“We’ve told you everything we know! Don’t go back on your word!” cried those Remnant Souls in trepidation.

Xu Que nodded and smiled.

While those Remnant Souls retained their consciousness, they could never revive. This smear of sanity would dissipate sooner or later.

However…Xu Que was never one who would sow the seed of possible troubles. Those Remnant Souls lived on for years with no sign of dissipating. Furthermore, they were arrogant, snobbish, and held a great grudge toward him. How could he still be called Xu Que if he didn’t eradicate them?

Swoosh!

The next moment, Xu Que waved his sleeves. An overwhelming black flame instantly roared out of his hands and crashed into the tombstones.

“No…”

“We’ve waited all these years and are about to be reborn! You…”

“Ah…”

The Remnant Souls howled and shrieked in agony, but were ultimately consumed by the Mystical Fires. Their souls disappeared for good, leaving not a single trace.

“Hmph, did they genuinely take me as some rookie kid? Ha, don’t go back on my word! I’ve never promised not to kill you!” Xu Que smirked and walked out of the hall.

Since the issue was settled and the Space-Breaking Spell was still incomplete, Xu Que decided to take the time and look around. After all, the Refined Moon Palace was filled with countless treasures. He could maybe find another Heavenly Kismet Fruit hidden away in a small hall like this.

If he could swing by the Ice Valley mentioned by the old man and the woman, he might discover more powerful weapons and treasures.

“…..”

At the same time, everyone present, including Elder Yu and the Leaving Leaves Sect disciples, were scared stiff and dared not make a sound. They stared blankly as Xu Que left the hall. At that moment, they finally had a grave realization on how ruthless that fellow was. If they had to fight, he would never hesitate to kill them!”

“Master Tang!” Bai Cailing stayed behind and looked at Xu Que, speaking to him through soundless communication. “Thank you for giving me the 3-stripe Spiritual Tao Stone. I will find a place to practice secluded meditation and seek an opportunity to break through. I bid you good-bye!”

“All right, we’ll meet again if fate permits!” Xu Que paused in his steps and answered soundlessly, “Miss Cabbage, I hope that you will be youthful the next time I see you. So that you can repay your debts!”

Repay her debts?

What’s that got to do with if she’s youthful or not?

Bai Cailing stared blankly. She had never read the IOU carefully and had no idea that she might need to repay with her body. She thought that she simply owed him Celestial Artifacts. Now, looking at Xu Que’s back as he walked away, she narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn’t help but smile.

Tang Xuanzang from the Exploding Heavens Faction? Ha, what an interesting man. Hopefully, they would meet again in the World of Near Celestial…no, it’s better that they don’t meet!
