Chapter 2099 - 2100: The Five Tiger Generals! Second Update
After the two of them described their experiences, Ye Qiu briefly mentioned how he entered the Ancestral Land and then stepped onto the Star River Path through the Gate of Life and Death. As for the many dangers involved, he did not elaborate.
Jin Shanshun felt relieved to hear that his sister was at the Pill Tower in the Ancestral Land and would be safe. At that time, many members of the Jin clan entered the spacecraft, but after the spacecraft exploded, many clan members died, and even his father’s fate was unknown. Hoping to find him in the vast universe was nearly impossible.
There was no news about Lin Qiao’er, Fang Sijie, and others. They hadn’t encountered any familiar faces on the Star River Path. Ye Qiu felt a bit disappointed, but luckily, he had found Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun, believing that he would eventually find the others one day.
That night, with Ye Qiu present, Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun slept soundly.
The next day, Turquoise Pool knocked on the door early.
All three of them opened their eyes, and Jin Shanshun took the initiative to open the door, only to be surprised to find Turquoise Pool standing there.
However, Ye Qiu had mentioned to them the day before that he was interacting with Turquoise Pool as Ye Fentian, and Turquoise Pool didn’t know his true identity.
Seeing Jin Shanshun open the door, Turquoise Pool was a bit surprised but didn’t think much of it, especially since Jin Shanshun was only at the initial stage of the Ruins Realm. Ye Qiu stepped over and invited Turquoise Pool into the room.
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng remained silent, reverting to their previous roles next to Ye Qiu, naturally knowing when to do what.
Turquoise Pool didn’t pay much attention to the two of them and said to Ye Qiu, "I’m planning to head to the vicinity of the Universe Abyss to kill Abyss Demons. What do you intend to do? Do you want to come with me?"
"Since you’ve come to invite me personally, how could I refuse?" Ye Qiu smiled. When it came to beautiful women, Ye Qiu was always polite.
"Great, this way I don’t need to look for suitable people to form a team. I know you’re strong, but I’m familiar with the area and know where it’s dangerous or safe. How about I only take 30% of the military merit points we earn?"
"No problem," Ye Qiu nodded. With Turquoise Pool as his teammate, he certainly didn’t have to worry about other issues. When Abyss Demons appeared, he only needed to kill them and leave everything else to Turquoise Pool. Taking 30% of the military merit points was acceptable.
The two quickly reached an agreement. Turquoise Pool seemed ready to move, but Ye Qiu looked out the window and said with a smile, "No rush, let’s deal with a little trouble first."
As Turquoise Pool was puzzled, a voice was heard from afar: "Is this the room? So, he lives here. Hmph, I wonder if he can still be as arrogant as yesterday."
Jiang Yu’s voice got closer and closer. Clearly, he had come back to seek revenge after being slapped by Ye Qiu multiple times the day before.
Both Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng stood up. Ye Qiu laughed, "I’ll handle this. I’ll treat it as a warm-up. I just hope the people he’s brought along aren’t too weak."
Saying this, Ye Qiu stepped out of the room, just in time to face Jiang Yu.
Seeing Ye Qiu suddenly appear in front of him, Jiang Yu instinctively jumped back. Although his words earlier had been arrogant, he couldn’t help but feel the shadow Ye Qiu had cast on him the previous day. Seeing Ye Qiu again made him immediately back off, turning a conditioned reflex into fear of another slap.
"Have you come to seek revenge?" Ye Qiu gazed at Jiang Yu, scanning the people behind him.
Seeing his back-up standing firm behind him, Jiang Yu found his courage. After all, he wasn’t alone, so why should he be afraid of Ye Qiu?
"Who do you think you are, acting all high and mighty? Today, I’ll make sure you understand the consequence of offending me, Jiang Yu." With that, he whispered to the person beside him, who then stepped forward.
"Are you the one who hit Jiang Yu?" this person asked.
"What if I am?" Ye Qiu replied casually.
"What arrogance! Where do you get the nerve?" This person snorted coldly, showing a hint of disdain on his face.
Because of the group’s appearance, many people started to emerge from their rooms to watch the spectacle. They had anticipated this wouldn’t end easily, and as expected, Jiang Yu had brought people to give Ye Qiu trouble.
"One of the five tigers of the Fengshen Squad, Zhang Yunhu!" someone revealed the identity of Jiang Yu’s ’big-name’ back-up.
"It’s really him. This is going to be interesting, one of the five tigers!"
As one of the five tigers and a main member of the Fengshen Squad, Zhang Yunhu was quite renowned in the ancient city of the Star River, and many people had to show him respect.
For a moment, the crowd looked at Ye Qiu with sympathy. While Ye Qiu might have beaten Jiang Yu, Zhang Yunhu wasn’t an easy opponent. He had slain an Abyssal Demon King, even though he did so in collaboration with the other four tigers. Still, that was no small feat, as an Abyssal Demon King was at the Supreme Saint level.
"You seem unfamiliar. You must be new here. Maybe you don’t know me yet. I’m Zhang Yunhu, and I believe after today, you’ll surely remember this name because..."
Zhang Yunhu paused for a moment: "I’ll make this name your nightmare. Every time you hear it in the future, you’ll tremble."
"Are you done?" Ye Qiu said indifferently.
"Huh?" Zhang Yunhu didn’t expect Ye Qiu to look impatient instead.
"Zhang Yunhu, you have some nerve to mess with a friend of Turquoise Pool," Turquoise Pool spoke as she stepped out of the room.
Seeing Turquoise Pool present, Zhang Yunhu was clearly surprised, then smiled, "Oh, it’s Turquoise Pool Fairy."
This situation made Zhang Yunhu feel a bit troubled, especially since Turquoise Pool had just said Ye Qiu was her friend, making it difficult for him to continue targeting Ye Qiu.
"Turquoise Pool Fairy, this man slapped my squad member several times. I just want to vent his anger. After all, I, Zhang Yunhu, also have a reputation to uphold. Please, Turquoise Pool, I’d appreciate it if you could stay out of this. Another day, I’ll personally visit you to express my gratitude," Zhang Yunhu said.
"I don’t need it," Turquoise Pool replied indifferently. She couldn’t quite understand how Ye Qiu, who had just arrived yesterday, had managed to provoke Zhang Yunhu so quickly.
Zhang Yunhu noticed that Turquoise Pool seemed firm in helping Ye Qiu, he turned to Ye Qiu, saying, "Kid, if you’re a real man, don’t hide behind a woman. That way, I’ll respect you as someone with guts."
Obviously, he was trying to provoke Ye Qiu, to refuse Turquoise Pool’s interference, allowing him, Zhang Yunhu, to take action.
He didn’t want to offend Turquoise Pool but wasn’t afraid of offending Ye Qiu. Behind Turquoise Pool was a major sect like the Turquoise Pool Holy Land, which could lead to future complications, but Ye Qiu was different. All the well-known geniuses he had seen or heard of, Ye Qiu clearly wasn’t one of them, despite Turquoise Pool claiming him as a friend, probably just to help him out.
As long as Ye Qiu declined Turquoise Pool’s help, he could resolve the current situation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu looked at Turquoise Pool and said, "I wanted to stretch my muscles; why can’t you fulfill my wish? Afterward, I’ll be more than happy to kill Abyss Demons and earn military merit points."
Seeing Ye Qiu genuinely not wanting her interference, Turquoise Pool relented, "Alright, then handle it yourself."
Ye Qiu nodded, thanked her, and then looked at Zhang Yunhu, saying, "See, I’ve removed your concerns. Go ahead; you can take action against me now."
