1601 Exchange for Pills

"Sister Bai, why are you looking for me?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"You picked up your phone... finally! I want to tell you that the portal in Atlantis is fixed! I just need to complete one last thing and the portal can be used again!" said Bai Linsu.

"You fixed it? That's really fast! Sister Bai, thank you so much! For now, don't activate it first. I will do something about it when I come back later!"

"Understood! Once the portal is activated, the people from the Northern Wilderness Starfield will be able to travel to Atlantis! You have to figure out a way to deal with them!"

"Understood! There's still some time left before I need to report to the overlord! Ten days left! I still have time to prepare myself!"

"Alright! I'm glad that you have thought about it! Oh ya, if it's possible, can you send Shuang'er and me back to Green Hill Starfield? I need to attend to an urgent matter regarding Green Hill's royalty! That's why I have to get back there as soon as possible!"

"Okay! Wait for me to come back! I will send the two you back to Green Hill Starfield with my Returning Bracelet!"

"Great! Shuang'er and I will wait for you at Atlantis!"

After that, Bai Linsu hung up the call.

"Bro Yu, where is Xuanxin? I didn't see her!" asked Chen Xiaobei after he kept his cellphone away.

"She needs to digest the power that he got from Xu Fu. That's why she wants to leave early!" said Xiangyu.

"Leave early? This is weird. Why didn't bid me goodbye? Is she still mad at me?"

"Actually, the girl that you just mentioned came for you just now. However, she stomped her feet and left in hurry when she saw you talking to aother woman!" said Six-Eared Macaque.

"Err… What is going on with Liu Xuanxin? She was willing to sacrifice herself for me when we were in Emperor Qin's tomb earlier and now she is getting jealous over other women? Could it be that she's fallen in love with me?" asked Chen Xiaobei gleefully.

"I feel like the relationship between two of you is not as simple as I thought it is!" said Six-Eared Macaque.

"Actually, I felt the same as well! Many a time, I feel that I have known her for a very long time! She's like family to me! I just don't understand why she would distant herself from me on purpose. I have never seen her real face before!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"Why don't you use your Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes to take a peek of her?" asked Six-Eared Macaque.

"I know I can do that but I won't! She is my friend and I have to respect her! After all, I can see that her looks matter a lot to her! Without her permission, I will never take a peek of her! She will never forgive me if I do that!" said Chen Xiaobei.

"Humans are so damn complicated! We monsters are way simpler than humans! If we see someone that we like, we will just drag them along with us! Do you know that if a female monster sees someone as handsome as you, they would definitely drag you to their room by force!" said Six-Eared Macaque with a chuckle.

"Erm… I'm not Sanzang!" replied Chen Xiaobei.

"That's not the point right now! Go after the girl right now! Otherwise, you will be filled with regret when she is truly gone later!"

"I don't think I'm going to do that. She's still angry at me! It's useless for me to go after her! Besides, I have something more important to deal with right now!"

Chen Xiaobei then took out his cellphone and tapped on a reading app.

"What's going on?"

Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque were puzzled.

"Haha! Old Leader has just uploaded some chapters! Finally! Zhufeng, The Battle God has reached three million words!"

"Who is Old Leader? What is Zhufeng, The Battle Lord?" asked Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque.

"I know! It's a very popular online novel! I heard that they are going to make it into a TV series and perhaps a movie!" said Li Xiang.

"Online novel? Xiaobei, what's going on? Please tell us!"

"I can tell the two of you but you guys have to keep it as a secret! I used this novel to exchange for a Ginseng Fruit from Grand Deity, Zhen Yuan and he's promised that if I managed to push the novel to three million words, he will give me another Ginseng Fruit!"

"Damn… What the hell…"

Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque were left in awe after they heard Chen Xiaobei's testimony. One should know that the value of a Ginseng Fruit was way higher than a Saturn Peach. Besides, Grand Deity Zhen Yuan was an eccentric person. It was not that easy to convince him to give out something as precious as that. To their surprise, Chen Xiaobei had managed to simply use an ordinary online novel to exchange for two Ginseng Fruits!

Chen Xiaobei: Grand Deity Zhen Yuan! I have just sent you the latest chapter! And it's more than three million words!

Zhen Yuan: Okay. I have seen the latest chapter! According to what I've promised you, I will give you another 3,000 year-old Ginseng Fruit. Get ready to receive my Red Envelope.

Chen Xiaobei: No rush! This time I actually don't want a Ginseng Fruit. Can I ask for something else?

Zhen Yuan: What do you want?

Chen Xiaobei: I need something that you've concocted, a Golden Body Purifying Pill!

Zhen Yuan: Why do you need it? It's a very high-tier pill! It can be used to cure a deity! Using it on a human is a waste! Unless... you are actually helping a deity!"

Chen Xiaobei: Grand Deity Zhen Yuan, I know I will never be able to hide from you. This pill is for Acheron!

Zhen Yuan: Ugh... Why would you be friends with people like him?

Chen Xiaobei: Erm… Is he your enemy as well?

Zhen Yuan: No… He has nothing to do with me! Know that he is the number one enemy of Buddhism, and the calamity is just around the corner! Those who are close to him will definitely not end well!

Chen Xiaobei: I know about all of that. His Blood Sea Holy Flame had become smaller in size now because he volunteered to help me! I feel really bad if I don't help him recover it!

Zhen Yuan: You should listen to my advice! Take my Ginseng Fruit! Forget about the pill and don't contact him anymore!

Chen Xiaobei: No! I will never betray my friend! As long as there is hope, I will help him to get the pill!

Chen Xiaobei: You… Never mind… Seeing that you are so loyal to your friend, I don't think you will betray me… Take the pill and consider me having no idea who you're giving it to!

Chen Xiaobei: Understood! It's my decision to give it to Acheron! It has nothing to do with you. If the higher powers ask about it, I will take all responsibility!

Zhen Yuan: Then, do you still want the Ginseng Fruit?
