717 Killing Four Birds with One Stone

'That's none of my business.

'What the hell does that have anything to do with me?' 

Jiang Ziya was outraged when he heard this.

He had spent the entire day confiding in and pleading to Chen Xiaobei. And the dismissive statement Chen Xiaobei gave to his state of distress was simply infuriating!

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Chen! Don't you think that you are being too unreasonable?! Aren't we a family? I mean, we call ourselves Shidi and Shixiong – doesn't that mean that we would help each other out when there's trouble?

Chen Xiaobei: Your mother is a whore! Should I tell everyone about it?

Jiang Ziya: You… You cursed my mum! I am your Shixiong! You renegade! ?

Chen Xiaobei: Me? A renegade? 

Jiang Ziya: Are you denying it? When the Prime of Tongtian comes back, I will make sure he reads this conversation so that he can teach you a thing or two!

 Chen Xiaobei: Is your brain full of shit? When I was in trouble and needed red packets, you punished me instead! You even cleared out my merit points! Now that you are in trouble, you tell me that we are a family? We should help each other? What a joke!

Jiang Ziya: I…

 Chen Xiaobei: Shut up! I am not done talking! You are the typical tyrant and you have the balls to show this conversation to my Sifu! Aren't you afraid that he will slap you in the face?

 Jiang Ziya: I…

Chen Xiaobei: I said shut up and listen! I know that you contacted me because you want the Living Soil from Lady Nuwo! Only a Divine Material like this can repair the crack on the Divine Whip in a short period of time! Living Soil is extremely invaluable – I won't give it to you just like that! Pay me ten thousand merit Spiritual Stones plus double the merit points that you have taken from me as compensation and I will give you a small piece of Living Soil. Otherwise, don't bother contacting me!

Jiang Ziya: Ugh ? Ten thousand Spiritual Stones AND double merit points? Why don't you just rob the bank? I will not give in! ?

One minute passed and there was no reply. 

 Jiang Ziya: Shidi Chen! I know that you are still reading this chat! Give me one piece of Living Soil and I will restore all of your previous merit points! I am being very sincere! If you refuse my offer then we'll have nothing to do with each other! ?

Half an hour went by and not a single word. 

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Chen, it is better for us to make peace rather than war between us! I will help recover your merit points, AND give you one thousand Spiritual Stones! I really can't give you more than that! If you don't agree to it, there's nothing more that I could do! ?

Twenty seconds later.

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Chen! Are you still there? Restore merit points plus five thousand Spiritual Stones! I'm also very poor…?

Ten seconds later. 

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Chen! Shidi Xiaobei! Please reply… Restore merit points, and eight thousand… No… Ten thousand Spiritual Stones! ?

Five seconds.

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Xiaobei… I can give you the Spiritual Stones but I cannot double the merit points! I simply cannot give you 1,080,000 merit points… Can we agree on an extra three hundred thousand?

Jiang Ziya: Fine… I'll do an extra four hundred… Five hundred …Seven hundred thousand! I'm already bleeding myself dry. I really cannot give you anymore!

One second later.

Jiang Ziya: Alright! Alright! I will comply! Double the original merits and ten thousand Spiritual Stones! Can you please reply my message? ???

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Chen, I've already replenished your merits and put the Spiritual Stones in a Red Envelope and sent them to you! Please collect them!

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Xiaobei! I beg you to please collect the Red Envelope.

Jiang Ziya: I hope you did not scam me…???

Jiang Ziya: Shidi Xiaobei! I beg you to please collect the Red Envelope! ?

"Muahahahaha…" Chen Xiaobei watched the screen like he was watching the world's biggest joke.

Every word that this idiot Jiang Ziya said was a slap to his own face.

He acted like he was in control but when Chen Xiaobei kept quiet, he fell apart completely.

Ding!

[You have received 2,160,000 merit points!]

Ding!

[Congratulations! You've been promoted to Philanthropist the Fourth!]

Ding!

[You currently have 2,160,000 merit points. You need another 840,000 merit points to move up to the next level (Charm: 216,000. Luck: 216,000)!]

"Haha! My merit points are in! Sweet!" 

Chen Xiaobei was very excited and praised, "My Sifu is the best! This is really awesome!"

Clearly, everything that had happened up to this point was all thanks to the Prime of Tongtian!

Lei Zhenzi's Divine Whip was not destroyed by some monster but by the Prime of Tongtian who did it conspiratorially.

Jiang Ziya was the owner of the Divine Whip. When it cracked, Chanism lost its face and Jiang Ziya had to bear the responsibility!

If the Primordial Lord of Heaven found out about it, he would surely be punished severely!

Jiang Ziya definitely did not want to see that happen.

He was the spokesperson of the Primordial Lord of Heaven. In the heavenly realm, he was actually rather famous. Wherever he went to heaven, all the deities had to step down and let him sit in their chairs! As the saying goes, Jiang Ziya is here and all the deities have to step down!

The Prime of Tongtian was right: Jiang Ziya would never give up on this prominent and powerful position!

That was why he would not dare to tell the Primordial Lord of Heaven about the cracked whip.

What's more, he had not done anything noteworthy recently, so he could not possibly ask for the Living Soil from Lady Nuwo.

His only way out was to ask for Chen Xiaobei's help!

The whole thing went by smoothly as the Prime of Tongtian had expected.

All Chen Xiaobei had to do was put on an act and smack Jiang Ziya's face!

"Successful retribution, double merits, and ten thousand Spiritual Stones as interest! This is the epitome of killing two birds with one stone! In fact, I killed three!"

Chen Xiaobei could not stop smiling to himself.

With a tap, the Red Envelope on the screen opened with a ding.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You've snatched Jiang Ziya's Red Envelope! Ten thousand Spiritual Stones have been deposited into your treasure chest!]

"How timely is this? I was short of Spiritual Stone and I was able to exploit Jiang Ziya for such a huge amount! Ahaha!"

Seeing this notification, Chen Xiaobei was excited!

He got the Spiritual Stones at the time when he really needed it!

 This all summed up into one word – awesome!

Ding!

Jiang Ziya: God Chen! You've received the Red Envelope, so please give me the Living Soil! ???

Chen Xiaobei: Don't worry, I'm a man of my word.

Then, Chen Xiaobei took out the Living Soil, broke off a small piece and sent it in a Red Envelope.

Jiang Zija: That's great! I can finally get the Living Soil! Shidi Xiaobei, you must keep this a secret! I'm going to mend the Divine Whip! Bye!

"Keep it a secret? Hah!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up. "I didn't just kill three birds! I killed four!"
