Chapter 935: The Real Owner Came for Compensation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the end of April, Jiang Hao saw Xiao Li and the spirit beast sitting outside the courtyard.
They seemed to be waiting for another chicken to appear.
They had already prepared the firewood and had even asked for seasonings from the cafeteria.
The spirit beast had said that the last chicken had been too burnt and wanted to do it right this time.
Xiao Li believed in the beast entirely. She just waited quietly.
Jiang Hao didn’t pay any attention to them. He only hoped that the owner of the chicken wouldn’t come looking for him. Otherwise, he might have to pay them some spirit stones as compensation.
It was rather troublesome.
Although he had enough spirit stones, he couldn’t bear to let these kids squander it.
He wanted to save it for spirit herbs.
Early in the morning, Jiang Hao saw that the spirit beast and Xiao Li were waiting for him.
He didn’t ask them to go to the Spirit Herb Garden with him.
When he arrived, he saw Senior Sister Zhou Chan there. He hadn’t seen her for a long time.
Senior Sister Zhou was not much different from before, but her cultivation realm had improved a lot.
She was not far from reaching the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
After that, her advancement might be very smooth.
The fish might soon leap over the dragon gate…
If Senior Sister Zhou didn’t waste her talents, she would become a legend in the sect.
“We meet again, Junior Brother Jiang,” Zhou Chan said with a smile.
“Senior Sister Zhou, are you here for me?” Jiang Hao asked curiously.
“Yes, I am,” Zhou Chan said. “Where’s your junior sister and your spirit pet?”
Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly. “They might be busy.”
“I found your spirit pet to be quite fascinating,” she said.
Zhou Chan took out a small transparent box. “This is for you, Junior Brother Jiang. You might already know what’s going on. I have had to deliver these to you a few times already.”
Jiang Hao was surprised.
Finally, another piece from the set!
He wondered what would happen if he gathered all the pieces of the Nine Heavens Armor.
Senior Sister Zhou Chan left after handing him the box.
She thanked him for taking care of her junior sister while on the sect mission.
Jiang Hao told her that it was his duty.
As for the new piece of the Nine Heavens Battle Armor, there was no need to appraise it right away.
He would go back and change into it at night. After successfully fusing it with the other pieces, he could appraise it to know more about the set.
Meanwhile, Xiao Li and the spirit beast were still waiting outside in the courtyard.
They waited from morning to afternoon.
“Beast, do you think a chicken will really appear?” Xiao Li asked.
“My friends in the underworld respect me. They won’t lie to me. The chicken will definitely come.”
“I’ll continue to wait then,” said Xiao Li while eating a white date.
The two of them were filled with enthusiasm.
In the evening, the spirit beast finally heard something.
Xiao Li was excited.
Then, they looked into the distance and saw a chicken flying over.
It was golden. It looked the same as the last chicken that had flown here.
“Beast, your friends from the underworld are great!” said Xiao Li happily.
“Let’s go. We shouldn’t disappoint our friends in the underworld,” said the spirit beast.
In an instant, the two of them rushed over.
The chicken seemed to be frightened when it saw them and tried running away.
The spirit beast sped up.
Just as it was about to reach the chicken, an aura surged and sent the spirit beast flying backward.
Xiao Li was shocked. She was on her guard.
She wanted to see who was so bold to attack the beast.
Then, she saw a young girl appear. She had two ponytails and was wearing the sect’s uniform.
‘A Senior Sister?’
Xiao Li shrank back. She did not dare act recklessly.
“Are you the ones who stole my chicken?” Ye Yaqing looked at the spirit beast and Xiao Li.
“We’re all friends, so it’s only right for us to help each other. I, Lord Beast, was hungry, and his friends sent him this food. Technically, we weren’t stealing…” said the spirit beast.
Ye Yaqing looked at the spirit beast in disbelief.
“The one beside you… Is she your Master?” she asked curiously. “She doesn’t seem as shameless as you.”
“We are friends,” Xiao Li said. “The owner of the beast is my senior brother.”
“Who is your senior brother?” Ye Yaqing asked.
“Senior Brother is just… Senior Brother,” Xiao Li said.
“When is your senior brother coming back?” Ye Yaqing nodded slightly.
“Soon…” Xiao Li said.
“Then, let’s wait for him together.” Ye Yaqing led them to the courtyard and had them sit.
They waited.
“Did it taste good?” she suddenly asked.
“It smelled especially good,” Xiao Li said.
“Only you guys ate it?” Ye Yaqing asked.
“Senior Brother ate a little too,” Xiao Li said.
Ye Yaqing nodded.
Jiang Hao left the Spiritual Herb Garden and went straight home.
It wasn’t too late to change into the Nine Heavens Battle Armor.
However, just as he reached the courtyard, he saw someone else with Xiao Li and the spirit beast in his courtyard.
“Ye Yaqing?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
She was the fifth-ranked top disciple of the sect.
She was still at the late stage of the Soul Ascension Realm and should be advancing soon.
‘Why is Senior Sister Ye here?’ Jiang Hao was puzzled.
He saw the golden chicken nearby and understood why she was here.
He sighed. As he feared, the owner of the chicken had arrived.
He had no choice but to face the issue.
Senior Sister Ye was usually very approachable.
“Senior Sister Ye, greetings,” said Jiang Hao.
She looked at him.
“Junior Brother Jiang?” Ye Yaqing smiled. “It’s nice to meet you again.”
Jiang Hao was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected Senior Sister Ye to still remember him.
“I sent my chicken out for a stroll, and your junior and your pet seem to have eaten it,” she said. “They said you ate it too…”
Jiang Hao was speechless.
He glanced at Xiao Li. He knew who had thrown him under the bus.
This was bad. It would be very dangerous if they kept using his name in the future.
“Do you admit it, Junior Brother Jiang?” Ye Yaqing asked.
“I apologize. Can I compensate you somehow?” Jiang Hao asked.
Ye Yaqing was silent as if she was deep in thought.
On the other side of Hundred Bones Forest, Lian Qin ran towards Bai Ye’s house anxiously.
“Senior Brother Bai, something bad has happened!”
He had been taking a break and looking up at the sky. He opened his eyes and looked at the person who had rushed over.
“What’s wrong?”
“Senior Sister Ye went to look for Junior Brother Jiang. It seems like she has a beef to settle with him,” said Lian Qin.
“What? How?” Bai Ye frowned.
“Senior Sister Ye is rarely on bad terms with others. Why would she suddenly become enemies with Jiang Hao? What actually happened?”
“They might have already met,” said Lian Qin.
“Let’s go. We have to meet Senior Sister Ye,” said Bai Ye.
Lian Qin didn’t dare hesitate and pushed Bai Ye’s wheelchair outside.
They made their way to Jiang Hao’s place in a hurry. If they were late, the two people might end up becoming enemies.
In a short while, they arrived at the Cliff of Broken Hearts and headed straight for Jiang Hao’s house.
When they arrived, the two people seemed to have finished their conversation.
At that moment, Jiang Hao looked somewhat solemn.
Bai Ye frowned. “Damn it!”
He was worried.
