Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 2367 - 2367: Adorable Fat Jiao

Fat Jiao is quite similar to the demon pets from the Demon Hideout Cave; it's lived in the mountains for so long that it's kind of like a country bumpkin.

Last time, Ye Qing gave Fat Jiao a few Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, not expecting it to really love them, just like the demon pet. Who knows why these two creatures are so fond of Ziyu Chenxiang Pills? Looking at its current state, it's definitely hungry again, wanting Ye Qing to give it some more Ziyu Chenxiang Pills.

Fortunately, Ye Qing currently isn't lacking Ziyu Chenxiang Pills. He fished out a bottle from his body and shook it in front of Fat Jiao, this creature's eyes immediately widened. Regardless of its two or three hundred-pound body, it flopped over in a flash, knocking Ye Qing to the ground, rolling over him, and snatched the bottle with its small claws.

"You darn fatty, get off me, are you trying to crush me!" Ye Qing shouted helplessly from below. Fat Jiao is even heavier than last time; it's got to be three or four hundred pounds by now. Pressing down on him like that is just deadly; where have you seen a fatty who doesn't know their own weight?

Fat Jiao couldn't care less about Ye Qing, rubbing its chubby head against him a few more times before excitedly climbing off, using its small claws to try to open the porcelain bottle.

This porcelain bottle is corked shut; Fat Jiao doesn't know how to open it and is afraid of breaking it, causing the contents to spill out, so it carefully pats the cork. But with this thing, the more you pat it, the more it goes inwards; there's no way it's going to open like this. After a few pats, the bottle didn't open; instead, the cork went in deeper, leaving Fat Jiao puzzled, anxiously and helplessly staring at the bottle, not knowing what to do for the moment.

"Alright, alright, let me do it!" Ye Qing walked over and opened the bottle for the bewildered Fat Jiao, saying, "You pull this thing outwards, not pat it inward. What's up with your intelligence?"

Fat Jiao probably doesn't know what intelligence is. Seeing the bottle open, it immediately gets happy like a child, pouring all the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills out of the bottle. However, it's different from the demon pet; the demon pet grabs this thing and swallows it all in one go, like Zhu Bajie eating Ginsengfruit, without even chewing. But Fat Jiao carefully stuffs one Ziyu Chenxiang Pill into its mouth, then actually closes its eyes, shaking its head with a look of bliss, making Ye Qing beside it almost drool.

"Is it really that delicious?" Ye Qing asked while reaching for the bottle. He used to swallow them directly, never really savoring them.

As Ye Qing reached halfway, Fat Jiao immediately opened its eyes. Seeing Ye Qing eyeing the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills, it quickly hid them behind its back. However, this creature is too fat, with legs too short, intending to put the bottle behind its back but only managed to press it against its waist, unable to really hide it. Nevertheless, it glaringly watches Ye Qing, clearly not allowing Ye Qing to touch those Ziyu Chenxiang Pills!

"You stingy thing!" Ye Qing pursed his lips; he wasn't planning on tasting it anyway. He has plenty of them, can eat them later whenever.

After seeing Fat Jiao eat two pills, Ye Qing sat down next to it and asked, "Hey, Jiao, are you satisfied with the stuff I brought this time?"

Fat Jiao seems not to comprehend Ye Qing's words, but it grins anyhow. This creature is reportedly transformed from Snake Sheddings, yet it smiles? Quite expressive, huh. Communicating with this little creature is similar to the demon pet; sometimes its gestures and expressions can indicate what it means.

Ye Qing doesn't bother too much about it; he pats Fat Jiao's little paws, saying, "Brother, I've got something to ask for your help with, you're not going to refuse me, right?"

Fat Jiao seems to understand Ye Qing's words, staring at him for a while and shaking its head.

"Alright, you're willing, then I'll just say it!" Ye Qing doesn't care what Fat Jiao's head shaking means; he takes the wooden box from behind him and hands it to Fat Jiao, saying, "This thing, help me take good care of it. Make sure it doesn't get taken away by anyone, especially not by those bad guys, alright?"

Fat Jiao extends its small claws and curiously pats the wooden box, seemingly not understanding what Ye Qing means.

Ye Qing doesn't give Fat Jiao a chance to object, directly saying, "That's settled then, you help me look after it!"

If Fat Jiao could speak, it would definitely smack him right away. Damn, I didn't say anything, when did I agree? You said it's settled? Who said that?

Of course, Fat Jiao can't talk, so this matter can only be according to what Ye Qing says. Ye Qing takes up the wooden box, saying, "Still, you're so loyal, Jiao. So, where should we put this thing?"

The Fat Jiao still looked utterly confused, clearly not understanding what Ye Qing was mumbling about.

"Alright, just put it in your bedroom!" Ye Qing stood up and directly walked into the cave, saying, "Which side of the bedroom would be suitable?"

When did I say to put it in the bedroom? And which bedroom is suitable? Dude, I'm a Jiao, I have a bedroom?

Of course, the Fat Jiao couldn't speak, so naturally, it wouldn't express such sentiments. It just curiously followed Ye Qing into the cave, wandering around with Ye Qing. It's said that Ye Qing was consulting with it, but in reality, Ye Qing was just searching for a suitable place to store the Sun-shooting Bow on his own.

Fortunately, this cave was the place where the Fat Jiao lived, hiding it here was the safest. Unless someone had the guts to provoke the Fat Jiao, otherwise, no one could take the Sun-shooting Bow away!

Ye Qing walked around this cave and finally arrived at the same cave where he had once found the Wendao Stone. It was in this cave that he obtained a wisp of Karmic Dao left by Ancestor Chen Tuan, and also acquired the Innate Nine Diagrams left by him.

As for the role of this Karmic Dao, Ye Qing himself wasn't quite sure. Anyway, according to Wuji and Old Wang Ba's words, the so-called Karmic Dao is actually Qi Luck. Ye Qing possessed an unparalleled Life Grid and decent Feng Shui, but his Qi Luck was too poor and was almost completely depleted after being tricked by the Twelve Green Halls, nearly resulting in his death. Fortunately, he regained new life after obtaining this Qi Luck. Ye Qing didn't quite understand these things, but since he got the Karmic Dao, his luck indeed seemed to have improved. For example, last time in the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, he was unexpectedly rescued by Fat Wang, which really surprised him at the time.

As for the Innate Nine Diagrams, there's no need to elaborate, as it is the foundation power of the Taoist Sect. Ye Qing didn't achieve much himself by practicing the Innate Nine Diagrams, but it was different for others. Ye Qing taught the Innate Nine Diagrams to Fu Qingping, who finally achieved the Beyond The Pinnacle realm. After Fu Qingping taught it to Shen Tianjun, Shen Tianjun's strength also surged, progressing towards the Beyond The Pinnacle realm, illustrating the remarkable power of the Innate Nine Diagrams.

According to Ye Qing's previous guess, the stone chamber should have been the dwelling of Ancestor Chen Tuan when he was on Mount Wendao. For the Fat Jiao, this stone chamber was actually a forbidden area. On that day, the Fat Jiao wanted to compete with Ye Qing for the Karmic Dao in Mount Wendao but almost died in this stone chamber. Had Ye Qing not saved it, the Fat Jiao might truly have been gone, which is the main reason why the Fat Jiao was so good to Ye Qing.

Previously, Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to the situation inside this stone chamber because he didn't know how powerful the Fat Jiao really was. But today, after the battle between the Fat Jiao and the Corpse Ghost Dragon, Ye Qing had a clear understanding of the Fat Jiao's strength. The battle strength of the Fat Jiao even surpassed that of the Corpse Ghost Dragon. According to popular opinion, the strength of the Corpse Ghost Dragon should already have reached the peak of the Beyond The Pinnacle. The fact that the Fat Jiao could defeat it indicates the Fat Jiao's combat power was likely among the finest in the Beyond The Pinnacle realm.

Nevertheless, despite the Fat Jiao's strength, it was still nearly killed by a force left by Ancestor Chen Tuan, illustrating how strong Ancestor Chen Tuan's power really was back then. Someone who could be honored as an Ancestor by future generations is certainly not simple.

After walking around the stone chamber, Ye Qing eventually chose this stone chamber, placing the Sun-shooting Bow along with the wooden box inside the stone chamber.

The Fat Jiao stood outside the stone chamber, not daring to come in. This guy is like someone once bitten by a snake ten years being afraid of well ropes. Last time, it nearly died coming in here, and now it remembers vividly. Though the power left by Ancestor Chen Tuan in this stone chamber had long since dissipated, it still didn't dare to enter, only standing outside curiously watching Ye Qing.

After hiding the Sun-shooting Bow, Ye Qing walked out of the stone chamber. Seeing the Fat Jiao outside tilting its head to peek inside, he couldn't help but chuckle, patting the Fat Jiao's chubby head, he said, "Jiao bro, I've placed the item here, remember to help me protect it, don't let anyone steal it!"

The Fat Jiao didn't know if it understood or not, but it blinked its big eyes and looked at Ye Qing curiously, even nodding, which was quite amusing.

Ye Qing walked out of the stone chamber and came to where the pool in the cave was. At this moment, waves of serpents surged in from the outside. Each serpent had a long-toothed rat in its mouth, these long-toothed rats had already been bitten to death, but they didn't swallow them. Instead, they brought the rats inside, seemingly preparing to store the food.

On the periphery of the snake group were several larger giant snakes, appearing to maintain order within the snake group. Upon seeing the Fat Jiao come out, the snake group immediately stopped and turned towards the Fat Jiao, seemingly showing a great deal of respect to it.

The Fat Jiao slowly nodded, waved its little claws a few times, and the snake group resumed, moving the long-toothed rats into the cave.

Ye Qing watched all this from the side and couldn't help but secretly admire it. Although the Fat Jiao was so fat that it was struggling to move at times and sometimes acted like a child, its prestige within the snake group was undeniably high.
