Bank of the Universe Novel - Chapter 154
Chapter 154: His Mother Is A Snake?
When she heard that Li Xiandao agreed to save her grandfather, the little girl teared up. The pressure and fear in her heart dissipated and she rolled on the ground to kowtow to Li Xiandao.
“Granddad Deity, if you save my grandfather I promise that I will listen to you and do anything. I am very well-behaved.” The little girl said emotionally.
Li Xiandao looked towards Seven helplessly.
Seven walked over and helped her up, “Don’t worry, our Granddad Deity is very skilled. Since he said that he will save your grandfather, then he will definitely be able to do so.”
“Is that so, Granddad Deity?!” Seven shouted towards Li Xiandao.
Hidden under the mask, Li Xiandao had an expression of helplessness on his face. However, when he looked at the little girl’s anticipation, he could only nod his head.
“Come and sign the contract. Although you are young, luckily there are no laws in this world preventing kids from signing things.” Li Xiandao dissed.
He really didn’t expect for the guest that Seven found for him to be a little girl.
Seven took a contract and told the little girl to read it carefully.
The little girl was really anxious and she just signed it without looking at all.
Li Xiandao looked at it and nodded his head in satisfaction. “Luckily, she met a good boss like me. If she had met a mad person, her future would be ruined.”
“Granddad Deity, please go and save my grandfather.” The girl shouted.
Li Xiandao nodded his head. “Calm down, I will let an expert follow you to save your grandfather.”
Li Xiandao couldn’t enter the Heaven and Earth Battlefield. There were many restrictions and he was unable to cross worlds to travel around.
Which was why Li Xiandao called the old priest.
The strongest and most abled person under him was this priest.
“Boss, did you call me?” The old monk walked in with a confused expression. In his heart, he was actually complaining that there was a new mission to do.
Li Xiandao said calmly, “The little girl’s grandfather has been bitten by a snake in the Heaven and Earth Battlefield. Go and save her grandfather now.”
“Boss, can you send someone else?” The old priest raised his hand to suggest a swap in personnel.
Li Xiandao looked at him and didn’t say a word.
“I just followed you to face that invader and I am really tired. I am so old and can’t be compared to those young people.” The old priest found an excuse.
Li Xiandao kept silent for a moment and said, “When you faced the invader with me, wasn’t I the only one fighting?”
“Also, this girl is the key to entering Eternal Land. Without her, we won’t be able to enter. Do you want to head to Eternal Land?” Li Xiandao said calmly.
“Boss, you don’t have to say anything else. I feel like resting too much is bad for my health, so I should exercise more. I like this brat too much, so allow me to accompany her to save her grandfather. I will take good care of her.” The old priest raised his hand and looked firmly at Li Xiandao firmly.
Li Xiandao smiled, “I want you to promise that you can’t let anything happen to her, that you will save her grandfather and protect them. You will complete the mission perfectly and you can’t be a coward and hide at the side.”
The old priest hesitated. He suddenly thought about how the grandfather was bitten by a snake. It was just a snake, so what was the big problem?
The old priest straightened his back and puffed his chest, “Don’t worry boss, not only will I protect them well, but I will kill the snake that harmed her grandfather. I will do what I promise.”
Li Xiandao gave a mysterious smile and said to the old priest, “Make an oath, stop slapping your chest and talking big.”
“Oath?” The old priest was stunned and felt like something wasn’t right.
Wasn’t he just bringing a little kid to save an old man?
Why did he have to make an oath?
Was it because he had to kill a snake?
A snake that bit an old man?
Did he really have to make an oath?
Li Xiandao smiled, “I am worried that you will abandon them, so make an oath.”
The old priest looked at Li Xiandao suspiciously but he still raised his hands and made an oath towards his Dao heart.
“I swear with my Dao heart that I will protect the little girl and her grandfather. If I go against it, I will never improve any further in my life.” The old priest looked at Li Xiandao after he finished.
“You also need to kill the snake.” Li Xiandao calmly added.
The old priest had no choice but to say, “I will definitely kill the snake that bit this little girl’s grandfather.”
Li Xiandao nodded his head in satisfaction, “You can leave now. Go and come back quickly. Be safe.”
The little girl pulled the old priest and ran out.
The old priest asked while walking, “Little girl, what is the snake like?”
“It is just a snake but it has bright colors and is really colorful.” The little girl replied.
The old priest calmed down and said, “Don’t worry, it is just a poisonous snake. I am extremely skilled and I am a good healer too. I will definitely be able to heal your grandfather.”
The little girl nodded and pulled the old priest out of the Bank of the Universe.
Within the Trading Hall, Li Xiandao watched as they left. He took off his mask to show a slight smile, a mysterious smile.
Seven was confused and asked, “Granddad Deity, what is with the cunning smile?”
Li Xiandao rolled his eyes at her. “I am laughing because the old priest has finally conned himself.”
“What do you mean?” Seven didn’t understand.
“The snake that bit her grandfather isn’t just an ordinary snake. If the old priest doesn’t use all his skills, he won’t be able to kill it.” Li Xiandao smiled and said.
The moment he thought about how the old priest made an oath to go all out, Li Xiandao felt great.
Seven rolled her eyes at Li Xiandao. “Our Granddad Deity really is an evil person.”
Li Xiandao looked at her and waved his sleeves. A scene appeared. It was of the Heaven and Earth Battlefield where the little girl and old monk had just arrived.
“Are you going to look?” Li Xiandao asked Seven.
“It will be really interesting.” Li Xiandao added.
Seven walked to Li Xiandao’s side, the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder and looked at the old priest and little girl in the projection.
….
Within the Heaven and Earth Battlefield, the old priest arrived after paying 20 years of lifespan.
On a huge mountain, the old priest carried the little girl and flew quickly.
“Where is your grandfather?” The old priest asked.
The little girl looked around carefully and then said firmly, “He is in the lake up ahead.”
The old priest saw a giant lake deep within the mountains. The lake water was pure and coral blue. Around it were many mountain streams that flowed into the lake.
The old priest was really quick and rushed over instantly. He asked, “Where is he?”
The little girl reached out and pointed, “On that small island.”
At the center of it was a small island that was only a few hundred square meters. On it laid an old man who was bleeding profusely and on his final breaths.
“Let us go save your grandfather.” The old monk carried the little girl and flew forward.
Explosion!
Right as they were flying across, the surface of the lake started to shake. Like an earthquake, huge waves started to form.
The old priest was shocked and felt that something was wrong. He flew to the island to help carry the old man up.
Kong!
There was a giant roar which shocked his eardrums. Then, a giant body emerged from beneath the surface of the water.
Huge!
Very huge!
It looked like a small mountain with a very thick aura.
The old priest was forced back to the island and he was infuriated. “This is a snake?”
