Would You Like Another Bell Added, Sir?

As everyone knew.

The madman Dan Jing had a rather peculiar verbal tic—

Whenever he grew angry, went mad, made a move, or looked down upon everyone equally, he liked to call himself "I"!

And it was not an ordinary fondness for calling himself that!

At other times.

For instance, when Dan Jing spoke with the two Lunar Goddesses, he generally called himself "I," "your Lord Jing," "your Master Dan Jing," and the like... such humble self-addresses!

So at this moment,

when Queen Mother of the West heard that Dan Jing wanted her to come out and see "me," rather than "I," she naturally let out a subconscious sigh of relief.

It seemed—

he had not come with ill intent?

Thinking this,

Queen Mother of the West did not dare show the slightest negligence. She stepped out from the peach grove, and with a flicker of her figure, was already standing in the heavens beyond Western Kunlun.

After appearing.

The first thing

Queen Mother of the West looked at was Dan Jing's current posture—

It was casual and relaxed, nothing like someone who had come to fight her!

The second thing.

Queen Mother of the West looked at was Dan Jing's current expression—

It was as calm as still water, without the slightest hostility, nothing like someone who had come looking for trouble!

After those two glances.

Queen Mother of the West's heart steadied by another three parts—

It seemed Dan Jing truly had business with her, rather than having come specifically to cause trouble!

In that case,

she could finally set her mind at ease.

With cupped hands in salute, Queen Mother of the West wore a perfectly measured smile.

She said:

"Fellow Daoist Dan Jing, your esteemed arrival has made Western Kunlun's humble dwelling shine!"

That was a lie—

Queen Mother of the West did not want to see Dan Jing anywhere in Western Kunlun!

Of course.

Whether Queen Mother of the West was speaking sincerely or merely making polite small talk, Dan Jing did not care.

Other than when he was looking for amusement, he had always acted with clear goals and never dragged his feet.

Thus.

After seeing Queen Mother of the West appear, Dan Jing casually greeted her in return.

Then.

He came straight to the point:

"Queen Mother of the West, I, Dan Jing, speak plainly. I'll state the purpose of my visit directly."

Queen Mother of the West had originally intended to invite Dan Jing to a banquet in the Jade Pool Immortal Realm, but the words reached her lips only to be interrupted by him.

As for Dan Jing's bluntness,

Queen Mother of the West was not surprised—

After all, if this madman ever learned to be tactful, she reckoned the immeasurable calamity would be upon them!

"Speak freely, Fellow Daoist."

Queen Mother of the West's expression turned solemn as she declared with absolute conviction:

"As long as it is something I can help Fellow Daoist with, I will certainly do my utmost!"

Those words were half true and half false—

She could help with small matters; for major matters, forget it.

Queen Mother of the West did not want too much dealings with a madman like Dan Jing, this Primal Chaos lunatic!

"Lend me your Kunlun Mirror to play with!"

Dan Jing did not know what politeness was, and since Queen Mother of the West had told him to speak freely, he naturally spoke freely.

Hearing Dan Jing's purpose,

Queen Mother of the West's gaze froze—

Borrow the Kunlun Mirror to play with? Was he sure it was borrowing? Was he sure it was only to play with?

I doubt it!

Queen Mother of the West realized she had celebrated too soon—

Madman Dan Jing had indeed come with ill intent!

"Th-this..."

For a moment, Queen Mother of the West did not even know how to answer Dan Jing.

Lend it?

She did not want to.

Refuse?

She feared Dan Jing would simply make a move and take it by force!

Even a Sage Realm disciple could not withstand the might of madman Dan Jing, let alone her, the mere chief among female immortals.

"Tsk..."

Seeing Queen Mother of the West remain silent and unwilling to waste time, Dan Jing could not help frowning.

He said in a low voice:

"Dawdling like a woman!"

"I'll give you two choices—"

"First, obediently lend the Kunlun Mirror to me so I can play with it; second, I'll beat you flat and snatch the Kunlun Mirror away directly!"

"Are you lending it or not? Give me a straight answer!"

What the hell are you staying silent for?

I, Master Dan Jing, said I wanted to borrow your Kunlun Mirror to play with. Would I really not return it to you?

When I borrow something from you, you should honestly lend it to Master Dan Jing.

Otherwise—

Master Dan Jing has plenty of methods and plenty of strength!

"..."

Watching Dan Jing's aura sharpen, while the colors flowing through his golden pupils became dangerous as well, the previously silent Queen Mother of the West's heart tightened.

The way he referred to himself had changed.

His bearing had changed.

His eyes had changed as well.

Trouble, trouble, trouble!

This lunatic Dan Jing—

was he about to attack her?

Beneath her palace sleeves, Queen Mother of the West's jade-like hands clenched slightly. Solemnity flowed through her beautiful eyes as she watched Dan Jing with vigilant wariness.

She secretly gathered her strength.

At the very least—

she needed enough strength left to fall without looking quite so miserable!

"Fellow Daoist... how long are you borrowing it for?"

Bearing the pressure, Queen Mother of the West looked at Dan Jing and asked.

It was not that she was afraid.

Rather, she had suddenly understood something—

Dan Jing had arrived politely, and he had asked to borrow the Kunlun Mirror. This showed that his sincerity was quite sufficient.

Well...

As long as Dan Jing had not come knocking with the Chaos Bell in hand to forcibly "borrow" it, then he was already showing her respect and sincerity.

Queen Mother of the West had already made her decision—

Lend it!

But for the sake of her own dignity, she still asked how long he intended to borrow it.

Ask she did.

Yet Queen Mother of the West did not think Dan Jing would answer her question. She had even prepared herself for him to "borrow" her natal supreme treasure for immeasurable ages.

"At least sixty thousand years, at most one hundred thousand years."

Hearing Queen Mother of the West's question, Dan Jing directly gave her a deadline for returning the Kunlun Mirror.

Huh?

Th-this... such a short time?

How about—

Sir, would you like to add another epoch?

Queen Mother of the West, who had been braced for battle, froze when she heard the term Dan Jing gave.

She had not expected—

Dan Jing not only answered her question, but would borrow the Kunlun Mirror for no more than a mere hundred thousand years?

Was that real?

This madman Dan Jing had made such a grand entrance at Western Kunlun just to borrow the Kunlun Mirror for one hundred thousand years?

Queen Mother of the West fell silent again.

Buzz—

Just as Queen Mother of the West remained silent, a cold glint flashed through Dan Jing's golden eyes. With a lift of his hand, the Chaos Bell had already appeared in his right palm.

He said coldly:

"One word: lend it or not. What do you mean by all this dawdling?"

"Tsk—"

"Looks like you really want to taste a Chaos Bell from me!"

The instant Queen Mother of the West saw the Chaos Bell in Dan Jing's right hand gently ripple with the might of a supreme treasure and emit five-colored radiant light,

her entire body trembled, and the countless thoughts in her beautiful eyes vanished in an instant.

Her gaze immediately became crystal clear!

"Lend it!"

Just before Dan Jing could activate the Chaos Bell, Queen Mother of the West's decisive voice rang out.

How could she possibly refuse?

If she refused, Queen Mother of the West feared she would be lying here today!

At the same time.

She no longer delayed. With a lift of her delicate hand, she summoned the Kunlun Mirror, now transformed into a small exquisite mirror, and sent it before Dan Jing.

Queen Mother of the West added:

"If Fellow Daoist still requires the Kunlun Mirror after one hundred thousand years, you may continue keeping it. It will not be too late to return it once Fellow Daoist is finished using it!"

Looking at the Kunlun Mirror that had arrived before him.

Dan Jing did not stand on ceremony and directly accepted it with a wave of his hand.

He glanced at Queen Mother of the West:

"So long-winded!"

"Remember to be more straightforward next time!"

After saying that.

Dan Jing ignored Queen Mother of the West's reaction and thoughts, cared even less about his own rudeness, and turned into a golden rainbow that shot directly toward the Sun Star above the Nine Heavens!

"Whew..."

After Dan Jing left, Queen Mother of the West let out a long breath.

She felt somewhat fortunate.

At the same time, she was somewhat surprised—

This madman lunatic Dan Jing seemed not entirely impossible to communicate with.

It was just that one could not dawdle with him!
