Chapter 1478: Why Didn’t You Say It Sooner?
“Elder Profound, Reverend—” Ye Qing had just opened his mouth when Danxia Zi sliced a chunk of flesh from his arm with his fingers and dropped it on the Ghost Dragon Boat’s deck, saying, “Here. Is this enough?”
“Er...” Old Man Profound Firmament was speechless for a second before he said quietly, “Actually, the Ghost Dragon Boat’s flesh and blood works too as they’re full of spiritual energy. You didn’t need to use your own flesh.” “... Why didn’t you say it sooner?” Danxia Zi was miffed. You said it after I cut my arm?
Old Man Profound Firmament argued, “I wanted to, but you acted way too quickly! Also, no one told you to cut your arm!”
“It’s fine though. You are a Sage, so your flesh is overflowing with spiritual energy. The effects will be greater.” “Mm!” Danxia Zi’s face looked much better after hearing Old Man Profound Firmament’s words. He then looked at Ye Qing and asked, “What were you trying to say earlier, young friend?” “Er, it’s nothing,” Ye Qing replied while rubbing his nose awkwardly.
Old Man Profound Firmament waved his hand. “Just say your mind, Joyless. There’s no need to be reserved.”
Still rubbing his nose, Ye Qing replied, “Ahem... I was going to say that there’s no need to jump through so many hoops. I have pepper powder with me.” You’re the ones who want me to say it, so you better not bill me for emotional damage!
Danxia Zi and Old Man Profound Firmament’s faces turned black at the same time. The next second, they said in perfect unison, “Why didn’t you say it sooner?” “I wanted to. You guys were just too fast,” Ye Qing replied while still rubbing his nose like it was a tactical maneuver. I’m the one who should be complaining, okay? One of you wants to create matter out of flesh, and the other one sliced part of his arm without even blinking! The hell am I supposed to do here?
A moment later, Old Man Profound Firmament suddenly guffawed and slapped Danxia Zi on the shoulder. “It looks like your flesh was cut for nothing after all, Danxia! Hahahaha!”
Danxia Zi’s face blackened even more when he heard this.
Meanwhile, Ye Qing had produced a huge pot of pepper powder from Nine Heavens.
“Say, why do you carry such a big pot of pepper powder with you, Joyless?” Old Man Profound Firmament asked curiously.
“For someone who often travels and sleeps outdoors, it’s only reasonable to keep a stock of seasonings with you just in case,” Ye Qing replied. It was the truth.
