Killing God - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Painstakingly
Xilu City was bustling with activity. The first floor of the Heavens was still bustling with business. The people in the shop were bustling with noise. As they smiled and talked, a large amount of spirit materials and spirit crystals were exchanged for owners. Some people were happy and satisfied, some people were dejected and sighed in disappointment. All the forms in the world could be seen on the faces of these cultivators at this moment.

However, no one seemed to notice that a youth who had grown up here and played in the spirit materials room under these counters every day had already left the Heavenly First Floor and gone to another place.

Shen Tai returned to the front hall of the shop once again and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. Although his clothes were ordinary and he didn’t have any extraordinary tyrannical aura, he vaguely looked at the shop and saw that there were lions patrolling his territory in the wilderness.

Wherever they passed, the busy attendants, regardless of gender, respectfully nodded to him. Shen Tai did not show any arrogance. He smiled and nodded slightly. Even many rogue cultivators recognized the fat boss on the first floor of the Heaven’s Pavilion. They all smiled and greeted Shen Tai. Shen Tai also smiled and responded one by one. He was amiable, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.

After circling around like this, Shen Tai turned around and walked to the counter on the west side. He chatted with one of the white-haired old men in a low voice for a while. His expression was relaxed as he warned the old man a few more times. After the white-haired old man nodded his head in agreement, he smiled and walked out of the back door towards the back hall.

The lively noise remained behind him, gradually becoming low and inaudible. The smile on Shen Tai’s face gradually subsided, and his expression became somewhat indifferent. As he walked past the pavilion in the small garden, his footsteps paused, his gaze wandering in the pavilion for a moment, silently pondering something, and then he took another step and walked deeper into the courtyard.

In the spring light, the flower shadow fluttered, gently covering his short and fat figure.

On the long horseshoe street, the cultivators in the past hurriedly walked. In this season that was supposed to be bright and spring, everyone seemed to have a beautiful vision and hope for their future. On the long street, shops of all sizes were still wide open. Countless attendants smiled as they greeted each other, earning large handfuls of spirit crystals that wandering cultivators had painstakingly obtained. The two most popular of them were naturally the branches of the Heavenly First Floor and the Divine Immortal Association in Xilu City, which were faintly confronting each other on both sides of Horseshoe Street.

Unlike Tianyi Floor, which had only risen in the past decade, Gods and Immortals who had traveled the Primordial Chaos Continent for a long time would look at it from the outside, The branch store in Xilu City on Horseshoe Street did not look as magnificent as the Heavenly First Floor on the other side. However, there was a sense of solemnity in its thickness. One’s first thought after seeing it was to recall the glorious and long history of this gigantic Chamber of Commerce. In contrast, the Heavenly First Floor on the other side really smelled like a nouveau riche.

At this moment, A plain white piece of paper was sealed in a blank envelope. From the back door of the branch of the Divine Immortal Association, the person who took over the envelope only glanced at a certain chrysanthemum-shaped mark in the corner. His expression immediately sank, and he immediately strode up the stairs. Through a secluded path, he went straight to the tallest house on the third floor, knocking on the only door here.

After the envelope was handed over, the door was closed again, and in a hurry, the figure swayed. In a short while, this inconspicuous letter was quickly handed to a person who was standing near the window and silently looking out of the street.

This was a strong but quiet woman.

Her hair was piled up on her temples, her phoenix hairpin was holding a pearl in her mouth, her thin lips were jade-like, and her bright eyes flashed. Her back looked quiet and elegant, but once she saw her face, she discovered that this woman was as calm as a knife, and she had a heroic aura as sharp as a knife. She was no longer a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was the most mature and beautiful woman in her life. Her eyes were bright and her figure was slim. She wore a jade gauze dress and stood against the window, revealing a fair chest. She could vaguely see the deep and plump groove that belonged to a woman.

In this gloomy city all year round, she was as beautiful as a brilliant peony, strong and dazzling, causing people to not dare to look directly at her.

Her plain hands were white, and she flipped open the small piece of paper. Her bright eyes swept across the simple words on it. The woman took a deep breath and raised her head again to look at the bustling shop opposite her.

Then, she slowly revealed a trace of a cold smile. At that moment, her beauty was like a cold blade, quietly flashing through the lively and noisy streets with an unknown edge.

At the same time, the short and fat man who had personally created the current prosperous situation on the Heavenly Floor was not inside the shop. Instead, he quietly went to an inconspicuous alley a few streets away from Horseshoe Street. His sleeves were plugged into his hands and his expression was indifferent. He looked like an ordinary mortal as he quietly walked towards the depths of the alley.

At the end of the hall was a secluded courtyard. The wooden door was hidden, and there was a faint smell of blood.

The bustling noise in Xilu City seemed to have quietly disappeared from this secluded alley, as if it was in another world. Meanwhile, Shen Tai, who had come from the bustling place, was standing in front of the butcher’s house. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was carefully examining everything here. Then, he gently pushed open the open door and walked in.

The moment the wooden door opened, the smell of blood seemed to become stronger. Standing at the entrance of the door, on the bluestone floor of the courtyard, even though it had been washed away with clear water, there were still sparks of blood in the corners of some of the stone cracks, carrying a dark and dazzling red color.

The small courtyard was not big. There was a large room in front of it and a large room on the right. The butcher who had once killed pigs in this courtyard did not see anyone at this moment. He did not know where he had gone.

Shen Tai paused at the door for a moment, and without asking for help or hesitation, he walked towards the room on the right. The doors, windows, and doors of the house were all open, and the sunlight shone in from outside, making it look very bright.

In the middle of the room was a round table, a reclining chair, and two or three round stools. They looked old, but they were durable and simple, carrying a trace of the aura of mortal life.

Shen Tai walked over and sat down on the recliner. Then, he leaned his fat body back. The recliner let out a few groans, swaying back and forth as it swayed with the fatty. Shen Tai closed his eyes, revealing a relaxed expression.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the house. Then, a tall and strong figure appeared at the door. It was surprisingly the butcher who had spoken to the youth Shen Shi to kill the pig not long ago. When he saw an inexplicable fatty suddenly appear on the reclining chair in the room, his face did not reveal any strange surprise. He only frowned slightly and walked over without saying a word. He pulled a round stool beside Shen Tai and sat down.

“Pa!” With a light sound, Shen Tai casually tossed over a small cloth bag and landed on the table. The fatty’s eyes still didn’t seem to have the intention to open, and he was still lying there in such a comfortable and lazy manner with his eyes closed. He could only say lightly, “Where is my son?”

The butcher glanced at him. He reached for the bag and casually opened it. A melodious sound that was as crisp as a beautiful jade collided with each other accompanied by a magnificent light spurted out from the cloth bag. Under the beautiful light, there were dozens of the most important spirit crystals in the cultivation world. They were translucent and sparkling, perfect like the most precious gemstones, emitting soul-stirring colors.

The butcher stretched out a large hand covered in calluses and grabbed a spirit crystal in his hand. A rare satisfied smile appeared on his fierce face. After a while, he put the spirit crystal back into his bag and looked at the fat man on the couch. “I killed two pigs just now and I’m a little tired. I’ll let him go wash his body and rest. He’ll come back later.”

“Yes.” Shen Tai closed his eyes and gently swayed up and down on the couch.

The butcher let out a “wow”, his voice still sounding somewhat hoarse, as if it was being drummed in an urn, and it sounded rather strange. Perhaps he thought of something, Butcher’s gaze swept towards the courtyard patio. After a long silence, he suddenly said,

“Good child, why do you want me to approach him secretly all these years and teach him these bloodthirsty people how to negotiate?”

The recliner beneath Shen Tai suddenly quieted down.

The butcher glanced at him, his expression unchanged, but he still said to himself, “The subordinate aristocratic families under the Xuanyin Sect are far inferior to you in financial and material resources. However, every child with similar aptitudes in their families is protected as the apple of their eyes and the treasure of their hearts.” “You’re just an only child. Why aren’t you raising him well? Instead, you insisted that he get involved in these things since he was young. You even forced him to learn this and that. Judging from the materials, even if he couldn’t cultivate Dao Arts before the age of twelve, you still had to force him to draw some Yin-Yang Five Elements Talisman Mark. Those are obviously not good trails.”

Shen Tai slowly stood up from the reclining chair and looked at the butcher. The butcher looked back at him without dodging in the slightest. A moment later, Shen Tai turned around and put his hands behind his back. He walked to the door and looked outside. In the small courtyard, four walls surrounded a small sky at the patio. He was like a small frog at the bottom of the well. He looked up at the boundless horizon. The only place he could see was the small clouds and blue sky.

The short and fat man suddenly smiled, then turned to look at the butcher and said, “Because I am too weak.”

The butcher frowned.

“I’m too weak. Even with the current situation, I’m still in a precarious situation. I’m afraid that if I wake up, I’ll be easily taken away.” Shen Tai’s expression was calm as if he was talking about someone else. He looked at the butcher with a smile and said,

“I have some family business in my hands and I can’t get on the stage, but I still want to pass it on to Little Stone, so I’m worried that it will be taken away, so I’m worried that I won’t be able to sleep. So I thought, Little Stone must not be as weak as me in the future. He had seen blood and killed people before. Although he was not a murderer, he would always be more courageous and have a stronger temperament. “He knows more things and knows more spirit materials. Although it looks inconspicuous and useless, it will be more or less useful for him to cultivate in the future.”

The butcher suddenly sneered and said, “Those geniuses sent by famous sects or great clans have never seen geniuses who kill blood energy. In the same realm, I can kill two or three of them by myself.”

Shen Tai smiled and didn’t care. He only said indifferently, “My cultivation is too poor. I can’t teach him anything on the path of cultivation. That’s all I can do.”

After a moment of silence, the butcher suddenly sighed and said, “You’re right. However, what you’ve done to your son in the past few years has gone too far for a child. Even I can’t bear to watch it. Sometimes, I’m worried that the child will be able to survive.”

Shen Tai walked to the side of the table and reached out to pick up a transparent spirit crystal. A trace of sadness flashed across his face, and he seemed to be even more gratified and affectionate. He laughed softly and muttered to himself,

“Fortunately, he has come safely to this day. I only hope that one day he will be rewarded with a little bit of the bitterness he suffered in the past.”

Tomorrow we should update at ten o’clock in the morning
