Chapter 44 - Isn’t This My Lil’ Shou Harem?


Suo Fei was not the only one who was shocked after such a huge crack appeared in the sky. Everyone from all the races in Yalance who witnessed this scene were also shocked.


Those who weren’t well-informed thought that a calamity had descended from the heavens and that the end of the world was near. They ate and drank as much as they could while they could. Those who had not confessed quickly confessed. Those who had not consummated their marriage quickly consummated. Those who had consummated their marriage quickly did it a couple times more. So that when the sky had fallen and the earth had crumbled, they could die without regrets.


Those who were well-informed angrily flipped their tables, threw their cups and kicked the base of their beds. What the f**k, why is the lost Divine Ruins that should have only opened five thousand years later currently allowing entry?!


Those that should’ve been trained had not been trained and those who should’ve grown up had not grown up yet. Should a group of old men who had had one foot in the grave bring a bunch of newborn weaklings to emerge victorious in this Divine Ruins? Is this a joke?


But, letting this opportunity go? Please. If they did, their race would be seized by other races once the Divine Ruins had closed!


Regardless, everyone’s conditions were nearly the same and it went without saying that they couldn’t miss this opportunity. Thus, the elites of the nine races were ready to stir up trouble.


The little cub— Ah, it couldn’t be called a little cub anymore. It’s a divine beast now.


The divine beast had already been wailing for a while that the veins in Suo Fei’s temples throbbed agitatedly.


Samael took Suo Fei’s hand to appease him before shifting his gaze to the divine beast whose face was streaked with tears. He asked, “Can it be closed?”


Divine beast: “Nobody taught me how…”


Samael: “Can you take us to have a look at it?”


Compared to Suo Fei’s ill-tempered bellow, Samael’s calm tone made the divine beast feel much better. Thus, he readily agreed and repeatedly nodded his head in response to Samael’s request.


It lowered its head slightly. Samael had already picked up Suo Fei, who was still enraged, and jumped onto the back of the divine beast.


Its huge wings spread out as it flew to the sky in an extremely fast and stable way. Suo Fei leaned on Samael’s chest. He had already calmed down by this time. After thinking about it, when was the little cub ever reliable? Sigh…


The crack in the sky seemed near, but it was actually far away. It only looked close due to its expansive size.


The divine beast flew for more than ten minutes to reach the crack.


The shock of seeing the crack in such a close distance sent a chill down Suo Fei’s spine. Fortunately, Samael had been holding his hand all this while. Otherwise, his legs would have gone wobbly from the fright.


It was narrow and towering. The dark purple vortex seemed that it would swallow people in. It was too astonishing.


Must they really enter the place? Can they still come out after entering?


“Don’t be afraid.” Samael gently comforted him.


Suo Fei turned to look at him. He was truly, truly scared.


Samael flashed a slight smile at him, “I’m here. It’ll be alright.” His words were like a warm spring that gushed into Suo Fei’s heart.


With their fingers clasped together, his fears disappeared because he was not alone.


Samael turned his gaze towards the dark vortex, his purple eyes reflecting the pitch-black darkness. It gave off an indistinguishable profoundness.


Suo Fei watched wide-eyed as Samael slowly reached out his hand and touched the crack. He wasn’t pulled in as he had imagined.


They can’t enter?


Suo Fei also reached out his hand and touched it. Suo Fei reflexively shivered when a chill seeped into his palm. The chill rose from the depths of his heart, filling him with coldness and gloom.


When his palm touched the crack, a mechanical voice inexplicably sounded, “The Divine Ruins will open in three days.”


Suo Fei: …Did it have to be so intelligent? Laozi is actually still in the game, aren’t I?! It actually has a countdown timer for the opening of the instance?


As he silently rambled on, he felt that the crack wasn’t that frightening anymore..


He felt it was opportune for it not to open at this time as it would give them the time to head towards Eugene and collect the Asura Blade. They could also stroll around Benesse City and gather some resources.


However, the three-day countdown was enough for everyone in Yalance to come and watch. They should’ve been the only group that would get to treasure hunt, but now, they would have to share with the whole world. It’s too unfair! They have lost their upper hand, alright!


Then, Suo Fei felt that something was wrong. As a recluse who spent all his time playing games, Suo Fei also played MMORPGs in addition to slash games. In this kind of game, each version would have a raid instance that had a grand backstory. The boss would be difficult to dispose of. More importantly, it required them to play in a team with a standard size of twenty-five players. A large group would surround the boss but would eventually end up being killed by the boss. It’s really sad, alright.


Firstly, the existence of such large-scale instances gave the players the opportunity to obtain high-quality equipment. Its second purpose, however, was to repeatedly dig pits for the players to jump into. It would open grandly and let people enter in groups. Then, they would die together until their corpses filled the entire instance.


At this moment, this huge crack gave him a feeling of déjà vu. F**k, this grand opening is simply announcing to everyone, ‘Everyone, laozi has opened. Come, come. Come and deliver your corpses to me!


This treasury portal that could hardly wait for everyone in the world to know about its existence, is it really daijoubu? Did it really not open its mouth to lure people to enter it and court death?


Suo Fei lapsed into deep thought, but he couldn’t give up despite knowing that it might be extremely dangerous inside. They spent two years just to fully satiate the chowhound’s appetite. Could it be that they would wuss out at the last minute?


Not to mention, this might be his one and only way to resurrect Vixanne. How could he chicken out?


He stopped himself from entertaining those thoughts. I can’t do anything about it. The road to happiness is paved with obstacles. The more things one wants to get, the more obstacles they will encounter. Overthinking is useless. Being well-prepared is the ultimate key.


The little divine beast had transformed into its ultimate form. The only advantage was that it could finally be their form of transportation. It was even the flying type which was particularly flamboyant.


They arrived at the Dwarven Territory without much effort. As they were a frequent visitor of the territory, the dwarves smilingly greeted Samael and Suo Fei upon seeing them. When they saw the little cub’s transformed appearance, everyone in the vicinity came over with sparkling eyes.


When had the little cub ever received such kind of worship? It immediately puffed its chest out, stretched its wings wide open and posed in a bearing that stood out from the others, allowing the dwarves to stare as they wished. The dwarves had always been genuine so they praised it endlessly. The little cub’s eyes that were filled with pride squinted into a crescent.


Suo Fei: “Look at this good-for-nothing!” Although he said that, he still left the little cub to let him have his fun. Meanwhile, he and Samael walked towards Eugene’s dwelling.


The Eugene had moved houses. The king of the Dwarves, Tilly, specially renovated a delicately-sized residence which could be considered as grand for the Dwarves but Eugene had declined. He still preferred to live a simple life with his two grandchildren.


However, this time, he specially added an extra bedroom that had simple furnishings and a large double bed. It was tailored with Suo Fei and Samael in mind.


At that time, Suo Fei protested silently in his heart. Why is it a double bed? Fine, it must have been to save space. It must be.


When Samael saw this bedroom after its completion, his expression didn’t shift or waver but he harvested a tenth-grade ferocious beast deep inside the canyon and personally gifted all of its bones to Eugene.


Eugene happily stroked his beard and smiled so broadly that his eyes nearly slitted shut. The next day, the bed was covered with a four-piece bedding set made of soft and comfortable velvet. Most importantly… there was only one quilt!


Suo Fei: I didn’t see anything.


But until now, the two had not had the chance to spend the night in Eugene’s dwelling.


Jonah was the first to greet Suo Fei, “Elf, did you see it? There’s a tear in the sky! Everyone says that monsters will come out of it, so scary~”


Suo Fei was silent. In the end, he didn’t tell him the truth but merely patted his fluffy hair.


A sonorous laughter was heard from inside and Eugene came out soon after.


Suo Fei looked at him and thought, What a dirty old man!


His hair and beard were in wild tangles, his clothes were filled with smudges and his body was emitting a peculiar odour. He was unkempt beyond recognition, however, his attention was immediately drawn by the thing on his hand.


Unlike its previous ordinary dagger appearance, it became a three-edged bayonet. It had a slender and sharply-pointed black blade. Its outline was perfectly exquisite. One could imagine how easy it would be to cut one’s throat using this blade.


Eugene’s eyes were shining as he handed the Asura Blade to Samael, “Kiddo, give it a try.”


Samael took it and gently drew the blade across his fingertips. Bright blood dripped onto the pure black surface. Suddenly, the blood rose and danced around the blade. After whirring sounds of contention, the Asura Blade’s ultimate form emerged in front of their eyes.


Suo Fei’s eyes widened. So beautiful. This is the Asura Blade, one of the three Divine Artifacts!


The material of the sword from its blade to its hilt was the same. Its pure black colour made it seem as if it was a bottomless abyss that could swallow up all the light in the world. It wasn’t dazzling, but it made people incapable of looking away. It didn’t have any embellishments, because no matter how resplendent the gem was, it would be unable to match the sword’s unique momentum.


Samael lightly brandished the sword and forceful sword Qi shot up to the horizon, as if muffled thunder exploded in the sky.


It was truly a terrifying force.


Eugene learned that Samael and Suo Fei were going to the lost Divine Ruins and earnestly prepared equipment with extremely high defensive power for the two. It was lightweight and had a marvellous design.


“No need to thank me. The beast bones that you gave me in the past two years are enough to last this old man a lifetime. You two deserve this.”


Hence, Suo Fei didn’t say anything and merely kept it.


After staying in the Dwarven territory for a day, they went to Benesse City and collected all the beast blood that Antonio had prepared into the interspatial bag. Antonio had been financially affluent in the past two years. He devoted himself to studying potions and also had some achievements. He was far from mastering it, but it should be known that healer was a profession that was difficult to practice. Although Suo Fei gave him a lot of herbs for him to practice on, being able to reach mid-tier in a span of two year only showed that he was extremely hardworking and had great potential.


He gave some of the potions he made to Suo Fei. Although it wouldn’t have that much of an effect on them, it was his thoughts that mattered.


Suo Fei stored it and told him that he didn’t need to collect beast blood for a while.


After thinking about it, Suo Fei took out another fifty thousand gold coins to Antonio: “Accept these. You should close up your store first and concentrate on studying potions.”


Antonio was stunned. After a while, he choked back tears as he replied, “Elf, you have already helped me a lot. You’ve already done me a great favour for giving me herbs for the past two years. How could I accept these gold coins from you?”


Suo Fei was the worst at handling this kind of situation. He knitted his eyebrows as he morosely contemplated what to respond.


Samael answered, “Just consider it as pre-payment for your potions. Practice hard.”


With that being said, Antonio couldn’t refuse anymore and could only gratefully accept the gold coins.


Three days later, they were astounded by the scene that greeted them after returning to the vortex’ location.


Suo Fei had long expected that there would be a crowd of sightseers, but he did not expect that there would be so many people that the place would be densely cramped.


As the huge crack was in the sky, races that couldn’t fly could only look on while crouching on the ground. Therefore, apart from selling medicines, equipment, weapons, and talismans, there was an emerging business that was on the rise: renting flying mounts.


There were many winged races in Yalance, such as the Celestials, high-tiered Demons as well as Sylphs.


However, these races had a sparse population and terribly high self-esteem. Naturally, they would not lower themselves to carry others.


So, the flying mounts became much sought after. Although winged mounts were rarely seen, they weren’t uncommon. As long as one had enough money, they could still buy them.


Especially the Goblins. They were a money-obsessed race thus they naturally had a lot of flying mounts. Hence, they opened direct flights and charged others exorbitant prices.


Unfortunately, this was a monopolised industry. Even if they didn’t want to spend a dime, there were still a lot of people queueing up to pay.


Suo Fei felt somewhat envious of the extravagant profits they were making. F**k, five hundred gold coins for a flight? The dense crowd below is like a lamb to the slaughter!


If he wasn’t in a hurry to be one of the first to enter, he really wanted the little cub to do this part-time job! It was too easy to make a fortune.


Goblins are truly crafty geniuses!


Samael and Suo Fei’s appearances were very eye-catching. Nevertheless, Suo Fei had already learned the Disguise Spell that had negligible magical fluctuations. This spell is much more advanced than the ordinary Transfiguration Spell. It would be difficult for people to discover because of its extremely low magical fluctuations. If one couldn’t sense the magic, they would naturally be unable to see through the disguise. This was all thanks to Antonio. As he thought of this, Suo Fei felt that he really deserved the fifty-thousand gold coins.


Samael and Suo Fei disguised themselves into the most common appearances of the Demons and the Elves. Suo Fei also purposely disguised the little cub into an ordinary Pegasus, earning the dissatisfaction of the little cub. Under its urging, Suo Fei had to make it slightly more dashing and turned it into a Winged Leopard.


It flew to the sky. There were already many winged races as well as dignitaries who were riding flying mounts near the crack.


In comparison, Suo Fei’s group was seemingly unimportant.


Suo Fei glanced around. There was the least number of people at the highest point, but they were the most distinguishable. Moreover, nearly all of them were familiar faces.


Isn’t this his lil’ shou harem?!


Except for Aryan, who had already kicked the bucket, as well as a certain lil’ shou who was unlikely to appear, all the other seven were right in front of him.


At this moment in time, Suo Fei recalled his final 10P feast that hadn’t even started. Times have passed, people have changed…
