Chapter 1746: Land of Endless Day
“You do not need to be disappointed, boy. I can assure you that the old man did not skimp on you so to speak.”
Seeing that Ye Qing was silent, the Thousand-headed Demonic Serpent thought that he was unhappy and consoled him instead, “The old fart seriously gave you everything he could give.”
“Besides, why do you think he asked you to pass on the message instead of speaking with me directly? He’s trying to make it so that I owe you one, not him. He did everything he could to pave the road ahead for you.”
“I see! Thank you for explaining, senior,” Ye Qing exclaimed in feigned realization.
In reality, he already guessed why the Earthly Sovereign was doing this. However, just because he guessed something didn’t mean that he had to confess it. Sometimes, playing the fool was a necessary tactic in life.
“Mm. I’m glad you understand what he did for you.”
The Thousand-headed Demonic Serpent walked over and gave Ye Qing a clap on the shoulder. “The old fart may be gone, but I am still here. From now on, I will watch over you.”
Ye Qing clasped his fists together and said gratefully, “This junior will not soon forget your favor. This junior will do his best to free you from this place as soon as possible.”
“Mm. I’m happy to hear that.”
The more the Thousand-headed Demonic Serpent interacted with Ye Qing, the more he grew fond of the boy. He walked toward the exit and said, “Now, follow me. I have a ten-thousand-year-old wine brewed using ancient spiritual objects at my place. I was going to drink it with the old fart, but he went and passed away first. It’s his loss.”
“Today, we’re going to drink until we drop. I guess you can treat it as a parting gift for that old fart.”
“Thank you, senior.”
