#119 - The boastful Huang Daxian, the blue star wind from another world

In reality, Lan Linglong had intentionally stayed behind to exchange a few more words with Qin Buyi.

However, Qin Buyi's actions caused all of Lan Linglong's expectations to fall flat.

Xiao Qing and Huang Daxian, noticing Lan Linglong's expression, huddled together and whispered.

Xiao Qing: "Old Huang, why do you think she looks so dejected?"

Huang Daxian, adopting a knowing tone, said:

"It's just like when we beasts try to curry favor with the Mountain King. She definitely wants to bribe Master, hoping he'll reward her with some official position in the future."

"But Master is upright and incorruptible, not accepting bribes at all, so she's very disappointed now."

Xiao Qing listened to Huang Daxian's analysis, which sounded quite logical, though something felt off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Somewhat doubtful, she asked: "Is that really how it is?"

Seeing that Xiao Qing was questioning his words, Huang Daxian embellished to enhance the credibility of his explanation:

"It's definitely like that! Isn't there a saying on Blue Star, 'Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run'? You have to believe me, Huang Daxian."

"Before we were subdued by Master, I was in charge of a secret realm on Blue Star. I used to be a Mountain King!"

The two beasts whispered to each other, but everyone present had high cultivation levels, so their whispers were as clear as speaking directly into their ears.

Qi Yun and the others found Xiao Qing and Huang Daxian's conversation both funny and embarrassing.

Lan Linglong's face turned red to her ears.

Qi Yun asked with interest: "Huang Daxian, you said you were a Mountain King. May I ask how many demon beasts you had under your command back then?"

As soon as Qi Yun spoke, all eyes focused on Huang Daxian, except for Qin Buyi, who kept his eyes closed in rest.

Huang Daxian didn't care about the others' gazes, what he truly cared about was Xiao Qing's gaze.

Xiao Qing looked at him with anticipation, confusion, and curiosity.

Huang Daxian recalled that when he was in charge of the Penglai Secret Realm, he had always been a lone commander.

Not to mention demon beasts, he didn't even have ordinary beasts under his command.

However, to avoid losing face in front of his close companion, Huang Daxian brazenly boasted:

"Back then, I managed hundreds of thousands of demon beasts! Those demon beasts tried every possible way to please me..."

With nothing else to do, Qi Yun and the others listened to Huang Daxian's boasting with serious expressions, nodding occasionally.

They complemented him, greatly satisfying Huang Daxian's vanity.

Surrounded by everyone, Huang Daxian spoke eloquently, occasionally glancing at Qin Buyi.

Seeing that Qin Buyi hadn't opened his eyes, Huang Daxian's heart finally settled.

He was most afraid of Qin Buyi exposing his lies, as the scene of Qin Buyi breaking into the Penglai Secret Realm was still vivid in his mind.

If anyone present knew Huang Daxian's situation at that time best, it was undoubtedly Qin Buyi.

As Huang Daxian was talking until his mouth was dry, Xiao Qing suddenly asked curiously:

"Old Huang, the Penglai Secret Realm has already been integrated into Master's Minor Chiliocosm. Why can't I see those hundreds of thousands of demon beasts under your command..."

Lan Tianhe smiled mischievously, interjecting: "Yes, Huang Daxian, where are your hundreds of thousands of demon beasts?"

Huang Daxian didn't expect Xiao Qing to ask such a question, and his expression became somewhat awkward: "Those hundreds of thousands of demon beasts are all..."

Xiao Qing pressed on: "Are all what?"

Huang Daxian glanced at the expressions of Qi Yun and the others. Except for Xiao Qing, who seemed genuinely confused,

the others were all looking at him with mischievous expressions, waiting for his explanation.

Huang Daxian's lie was about to be exposed, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Suddenly, his gaze swept over Qin Buyi, and his eyes lit up. He had a sudden inspiration:

"Those hundreds of thousands of demon beasts were all killed by Master, who is invincible, handsome, has unparalleled combat power, and is unprecedented throughout the ages, with a single strike!"

"Master saw that I had extraordinary talent, so he left me behind, and that's how I became Master's pet."

Xiao Qing still seemed unconvinced. After glancing at Qin Buyi, she turned to Huang Daxian and asked: "Is that really how it is?"

Huang Daxian cautiously glanced at Qin Buyi. Seeing that Qin Buyi didn't react to his lie at all, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Everything I said is true, that's exactly how it is."

Seeing that Huang Daxian had managed to smooth things over, Qi Yun and the others cooperated by showing expressions of sudden realization.

Although these people knew that Huang Daxian was boasting, they were all veterans who knew that face was paramount.

Moreover, Huang Daxian's boast involved Qin Buyi, and since the person in question hadn't come out to refute it, Qi Yun and the others were even less likely to expose him.

Lan Linglong's thoughts about Qin Buyi, as interpreted by Xiao Qing and Huang Daxian, had long deviated from the topic by a hundred and eighty thousand miles.

Just as Huang Daxian was boasting, the Lan family members returned one after another.

Qin Buyi slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone: "Time's up, let's go."

He stretched out his right hand and pointed forward, and a huge portal appeared in front of everyone.

One by one, everyone entered the portal and teleported to Area No. 1 in the outside world.

Qin Buyi was fully aware of what had happened around him just now.

His playful gaze landed on Huang Daxian.

Sensing Qin Buyi's gaze, Huang Daxian immediately put on a flattering look and came to Qin Buyi's side.

He rubbed his furry body against Qin Buyi's trouser leg.

Seeing Huang Daxian's appearance, Qin Buyi said nothing.

It was alright for a pet to boast occasionally; as the owner, he should satisfy its vanity.

After everyone had entered the portal and left the Minor Chiliocosm,

the somewhat lively Minor Chiliocosm fell silent again.

Qin Buyi bent down and held Huang Daxian by the scruff of his neck with his left hand, and stroked Xiao Qing's dragon body with his right hand.

With a slight thought, he appeared in Area No. 1 in the outside world.

Area No. 1 was shrouded in rich spiritual energy.

Feeling the spiritual energy that was even denser than in the Minor Chiliocosm, Qi Yun exclaimed:

"What rich spiritual energy! Cultivating in this environment, it won't take a few years to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage."

In such a harsh environment as Blue Star, Qi Yun was able to break through to the Integration stage.

The conditions of the Heavenly Wasteland World had already surpassed Blue Star countless times.

In this environment, Qi Yun, as the most outstanding genius of Blue Star for thousands of years, could be said to be a dragon entering the sea, like a fish in water.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy and curiosity as they looked around.

At this time, Lan Wenhao organized everyone to start building Area No. 1.

Qin Buyi watched this scene without interfering.

He took Xiao Qing and Huang Daxian back to his residence in the center of Area No. 1 and began to prepare for the upcoming Tribulation Transcending.

Three days passed in a row...

Qin Buyi adjusted his state to its peak.

Walking out of the room, Area No. 1 had undergone a great change.

The Lan family once again displayed their superb architectural skills.

With Qin Buyi's residence as the center, they extended out in the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Buildings that could be called works of art on Blue Star appeared before Qin Buyi's eyes.

There were also many items with strong Blue Star characteristics, such as: neon lights, bars, cinemas, etc., that were built one after another.

Qin Buyi walked on the constructed street, looking at the surrounding high-rise buildings, bright lights, and bustling activity.

For a moment, his expression was somewhat dazed, as if he had returned to Blue Star again.
