Chapter 3485 — Who Are You? He Also Saw That Wei Zhao Was Still Quite Easygoing with the Ice Palace's People, and His Earlier Nervousness Was Gone Too!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
The formidable aura made Shopkeeper Li's legs cramp involuntarily. Wei Zhao had done nothing to him, yet he still lowered his head out of sheer reflex, curling in on himself, and said to Bingtang in a trembling voice, "Palace Master, Young Hero Lin—he really is a peak late Heaven Rank great consummation expert."
"What!" Bingtang could scarcely believe Wei Zhao had broken through to great consummation in such a short time—how many days had it been? Yet she knew Shopkeeper Li could not be lying to her. Shopkeeper Li was an old hand of the Ice Palace; how could he possibly collude with Wei Zhao?
So, after a moment's hesitation, the Ice Palace Master grew fearful and drew back: "Tell Wei Zhao I am unwell—indisposed—and cannot come. Let him stay at the inn for now!"
"This..." Shopkeeper Li smiled bitterly and looked up at Wei Zhao to relay the message, but Wei Zhao reached out and took the phone from his hand.
"Let me do the talking."
Wei Zhao did not want to put Shopkeeper Li on the spot, so he took the call himself: "Little candy girl, why aren't you coming? Don't tell me you're going to welsh on the deal?"
"I—I'm not feeling well. What of it?" Bingtang huffed.
"A cultivator, and feeling unwell? Can a Heaven Rank expert even fall ill?" Wei Zhao asked, astonished.
"I—I—" Bingtang's pretty face flushed scarlet. True enough—how could a Heaven Rank expert fall ill? That excuse was truly poor. Then inspiration struck. Gritting her teeth, she said to Wei Zhao in shame and fury, "Heaven Rank or not, I'm still a girl, and every month there are a few days when I'm uncomfortable—is that not allowed?!!!!!"
"Uh... that's allowed, I suppose..." Wei Zhao was briefly taken aback, but then he said teasingly, "Very well then. I came to bring you the Ice-Heart Jade-Bone Pill, but you can come get it after your auntie has gone. If it takes too long, I'll head back first—I have things to do."
"Ah? What? The Ice-Heart Jade-Bone Pill?" Bingtang started, and said anxiously, "You refined it successfully?"
"Mm. But I'm leaving first. Rest well—a girl really should rest properly at a time like this," Wei Zhao said.
"T—today is my last day. It's almost over. Wait for me—I'm coming over right now!" Bingtang said, short of breath. She was truly overjoyed; she had waited years for this pill!
"But I only give it to my tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny wife! Are you one?" Wei Zhao asked with a laugh.
"I—I—I am!" Bingtang said urgently, grinding her teeth.
"Oh, all right then. I'll give it to you! I'll wait for you at the inn. Perfect timing—we can have our wedding night tonight. You've just finished, so you can't get pregnant anyway!" Wei Zhao said.
"You—you—you—you—you!" Bingtang was beside herself with rage and hung up. She flew straight out of the cultivation room and hurtled down the mountain.
"Heh." Wei Zhao shook his head with a smile, entirely unbothered, and casually handed the satellite phone back to Shopkeeper Li.
"Young Hero Lin, is the Ice Palace Master coming, then? Please rest a moment..." Shopkeeper Li took the phone. Seeing that Wei Zhao had settled it himself, he breathed a sigh of relief—at least he was no longer caught in the middle.
