437 Pearls Before Swine

The moment Xu Qing’s voice rang out, the captain had already turned his head. When he saw the shimmering treasure dresses hanging on the clothes racks, his eyes widened.

There were dozens of treasure clothes, and every single one of them was neatly hung there. They were all arranged properly with some gap between each other, and had no creases at all.

From these minor details, it could be seen how much the owner liked these clothes.

There were mainly dresses. One of them was an emerald green dress that was made of immortal jade that was refined into white silk and embroidered with large peony flowers. It was even decorated with immortal gold. Its hem was like pink flowers, and it was rather gorgeous.

There was an emerald green cotton dress with thin golden threads on the side. Even an ordinary woman would look gorgeous if she wore it.

There was also a jade-green palace robe. Purple-blue b.u.t.terflies with dark patterns were embroidered on it. They would occasionally manifest and dance outside.

The pleated skirt looked extraordinarily gorgeous and sparkling. The fabric on it could be used to make powerful armor.

There was also a white robe. Branches were embroidered on it with the threads of a mystical tree, and veins of a mutated plant were used to embroider blooming plum blossoms. It gave off a light feeling, and at the same time, there were faint shadows of mutated beasts manifesting outside the robe.

The dozens of pieces of clothing were all different. Each of them was made of extraordinary materials, and they were extremely valuable. The pearls on them also emitted an aura that accelerated the circulation of one’s cultivation base.

The captain was not the only one who was stunned. In fact, Yanyan, who was at the side, was already staring straight at the treasured clothes.

However, the captain only looked at the value of these things, while Yanyan was purely moved by their beauty.

“Great!” The captain swallowed a mouthful of saliva and rushed over to the clothes racks. In an instant, he took off a piece and wanted to put it into his storage bag. However, he realized that he couldn’t.

These clothes were peculiar and had extraordinary characteristics that made it difficult to put them into a storage bag.

“I’ve already guessed that this would happen. Little Qing, you have to help me deal with the Mystic Nether Sect later. I went to get that fang for our big matter.”

As the captain spoke, he waved his right hand. Immediately, a sharp tooth as tall as a person appeared in front of him!

There was an area on the tooth that was tainted golden. At this moment, as soon as it appeared, a shocking fluctuation spread out. After Xu Qing swept his gaze over it, he immediately recognized that this tooth was the demon snake’s fang.

Yanyan had never seen the demon snake before. When she saw the huge fang, she sucked in a breath and could sense its extraordinariness.

Gripping the fang, he slashed at the dress. As Yanyan’s heart ached, the beautiful emerald green dress was ripped apart by the captain.

As it ripped apart, its treasure light dimmed.

The captain seemed to enjoy the sound of the rip. He quickly swiped around, and with a ripping sound, the treasured dress… was completely torn.

However, it did not affect the value of the decorations on the dress and the fabric itself.

Seeing that the fang was so effective, the captain was extremely excited.

“When I first saw that old hag’s clothes, I was thinking about how to tear them one day. With this fang, there will be no treasures that I, Chen Erniu, can’t open!” The captain looked up at the sky and laughed.

“Even if the Mystic Nether Sect skins me alive, I’ll accept it.”

Xu Qing blinked, expressing his emotions appropriately.

When the captain saw this, his mood became even more good. Xu Qing took the opportunity to quickly walk over and grab the torn dress together with the captain. After putting them into the storage bag, the two of them didn’t need to say anything. The division of labor was very clear.

Xu Qing was in charge of taking out the dress and spreading them out, revealing the valuable parts, while the captain was in charge of cutting them open.

The sounds of tearing continued to ring out. Yanyan’s heart ached when she saw this. Although the clothes were not hers, she could imagine how furious Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy would be if she knew about this.

At this moment, she looked at the two of them who were working hard and muttered softly.

“That Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy is also at fault. She should have stored them properly. When she finds out about this, she’ll probably be fuming… Tearing a woman’s clothes, you guys are too much!”

The captain sneered.

“This’s nothing. Little Qing’s and my master is the one who’s mean. Back then, when the old man was still young, I saw Madam-Master quarrel with him with my own eyes. In her anger, she destroyed some of the old man’s beloved ancient books and jade slips.”

The captain held the fang and continued to cut open the treasure clothes in front of him.

“Then, Master casually took out a pair of scissors and took out Madam-Master’s favorite clothes. He cut them all into pieces in front of Madam-Master!”

“At that time, Madam-Master could not even react for a while. Then, she exploded in anger. Because of this, the two of them haven’t seen each other for three years.”

Xu Qing glanced at the captain but didn’t say anything. His focus was on the words ‘when the old man was still young’.

Master was not young anymore.

From this, he could tell that the captain had re-cultivated countless times.

What Yanyan was concerned about was the feelings involved in this matter. After all, men would firstly act on logic when it came to things, while women paid attention to feelings.

Hence, she easily immersed herself in it and felt the madness in Xu Qing’s Madam-Master back then.

“So despicable…” Yanyan was speechless, but she quickly joined in and helped to collect the clothes.

Just like that, the three of them gradually opened up the dozens of precious clothes.

The materials of these clothes were too shocking. They contained a majestic immortal Qi, and because Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy was tall, the clothes were extremely big and heavy.

They couldn’t take all of them, so they could only cut off the best parts.

Therefore, soon, every piece of clothing here was tattered. Some became like curtains, while others were filled with holes, like beggar clothes.

The rumbling outside was still reverberating through the area. It was getting more and more intense, and the feeling of the mountain shaking was incomparably intense.

When Xu Qing sensed this, he immediately spoke.

“Let’s leave. If we don’t leave now, we’ll be in danger!”

As Xu Qing spoke, he severed the greed in his heart for this place. With a sway of his body, he wanted to leave. Yanyan hesitated for a moment before quickly retreating as well.

Initially, the captain was still unwilling. He was prepared to search again or dig out the spiritual jade bricks on the ground.

However, when he saw that Xu Qing and Yanyan were about to leave, he suddenly recalled the scene in the Sea Corpse Race. At that time, he was turned into the scapegoat like this.

Hence, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he left the cave abode with Xu Qing and Yanyan.

“Stop while you’re ahead, stop while you’re ahead. I need to change my habit of being overly greedy. This time, I can’t be greedy!” The captain swore to himself as he walked.

Soon, the three of them rushed out of the cave abode through the hole in the entrance. After activating their concealment, they sped down the mountain.

Not long after the three of them left, a red figure quickly approached the cave abode.

It was a woman wearing a red robe and a white mask that covered her face. She carried a long black evil ghost scythe on her shoulder and gave off bizarre ent.i.ty fluctuations.

Her figure was light and graceful. After approaching, she looked around and chuckled.

“The elders in the sect always say that Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy of the Three Spirits likes to h.o.a.rd treasures. This time, I took the opportunity to come here and see what treasures she has.”

As the woman spoke, she stepped into the cave abode and looked around.

The first thing she saw was the clean ground.

“Although there was a huge battle outside and the mountain is collapsing, this place is actually so clean and tidy,” the woman said in a low voice. However, in the next moment, she looked up at the surrounding walls and was stunned.

There were grooves in many places on the walls. From the looks of it, there should have been beads in them.

The woman hesitated and quickly walked inside the cave abode. After checking many rooms, her expression gradually turned ugly.

She realized that even the furniture such as tables and beds were gone.

When she finally saw the tattered clothes on the ground, she took a deep breath.

“Someone was one step ahead of me. Was this person a rat? Or do they have a deep hatred for Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy? They actually destroyed her clothes to s.n.a.t.c.h the treasures.” The woman suddenly turned around and quickly left, her heart filled with vigilance.

At the same time, near the foot of the third mountain, Xu Qing and the other two hid themselves and sped forward, planning to leave this area.

Now that he was fully loaded, Xu Qing instinctively didn’t want to stay any longer. Especially when he thought of the treasures in his storage bag, he wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn’t want something like the accident in the Sea Corpse Race to happen.

However, the captain’s face was filled with regret. He felt like this time was not satisfying enough.

“Little Qing, it’s not exciting this time,” the captain said in a low voice.

Xu Qing felt that this sentence was a little familiar and immediately became vigilant. He pulled Yanyan along and sped up.

The captain sighed repeatedly from behind. From time to time, he would look up at the distant second mountain and lick his lips.

“Why don’t we go to the second mountain and take a look?”

Just as Xu Qing was about to speak, a shocking boom suddenly rang out from the sky. A shrill cry echoed out in all directions.

The sound was too intense. Even though the three of them weren’t particularly close, they were still affected. The three of them trembled violently and Xu Qing spat out a mouthful of blood. More than ten jade slips shattered on Yanyan’s body and she also spat out blood.

The captain’s body also trembled, and blood spurted out. The three of them looked up at the sky in shock.

Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s three bodies were fighting against the three Sword Holders. One of her clones had been stabbed in the heart by a Sword Holder, and her lower abdomen had been destroyed with a punch. A huge seal had also appeared, emitting a terrifying might that filled the sky. It was filled with endless Dao runes as it smashed down.

Instantly, this Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone’s lower abdomen and chest exploded. As it let out a miserable scream, it was also hit by the huge seal that contained Dao runes.

This seal had clearly been prepared for her. Although the attack was not fatal, it had directly severed the clone’s connection with the main body.

In the next instant, the heavily injured clone fell down from the sky and smashed into the ground between the third and second mountains. The ground trembled, and the clone stopped moving after losing its will.

However, what was revealed from the wound was not flesh and blood, but dazzling immortal light and an extremely dense Immortal Qi. Just a whiff of it was enough to raise one’s spirits.

Dust flew up from the ground as if an earth dragon had flipped over. As the ground shook violently, the expressions of Xu Qing and the other two changed. Yanyan was terrified, but as for the captain, his eyes instantly went crazy.
