The fat cultivator's name was Shi Weitian. True to his name, he was a gluttonous fellow who would give up his life for good food.
It is said that this guy has narrowly escaped death seven times in his quest for food, all because he ate deadly things. If it weren't for a peculiar Cultivation Method, he would have died countless times already.
Shi Weitian's cultivation Cultivation Method is called the Heavenly Gluttony Scripture. As the name suggests, it is Cultivation Method related to the Taotie's heritage. Yang Zhen was dumbfounded and wondered if he should ask the Heaven-Swallowing Hou if there was a Cultivation Method called the Heaven-Swallowing Scripture.
That Shameless Cat, has disappeared. After Yang Zhen and Shi Weitian parted ways, Yang Zhen did not go directly to Jade Pool Holy Land to find the Third Holy Maiden, but instead stayed at a hotel called Stone Road Restaurant.
The Stone Road is the most famous road in the Western Region. It is said that three powerful cultivators at the Emperor Realm once embarked on the Path to Heaven here. As for what the Path to Heaven is, no one can say for sure. However, this does not prevent the Stone Road from attracting many powerful cultivators from the Western Region to come and explore it.
Yang Zhen booked two rooms at the Stone Road Restaurant, which was obvious. He wanted to save some crystals and book only one room, but the Empress of Emperor Su Palace disagreed, so he gritted his teeth and paid the deposit for both rooms.
However, Yang Zhen had already discussed it with the Empress of Emperor Su Palace, and Empress of Emperor Su Palace would reimburse him for the expenses incurred here.
Empress of Emperor Su Palace's gaze towards Yang Zhen became strange, and sometimes that look gave Yang Zhen a chilling feeling.
That's so stingy. Staying in a hotel for a few days won't cost too many crystals. Are you really unwilling to reimburse me?
No, if the Empress of Emperor Su Palace doesn't even have this much magnanimity, how can she lead the Emperor Su Palace to the highest position?
That evening, after the two had dinner, Empress of Emperor Su Palace looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Yang Zhen stopped picking his teeth and said, "Just ask whatever you want, don't hold it in. But don't worry too much about reimbursement, we're not that close, but we'll still get reimbursed."
Empress of Emperor Su Palace paused, glared at Yang Zhen, and said, "I'm not that petty."
That jerk! He himself said we don't know each other well, yet he insists on sharing a room?
Empress of Emperor Su Palace was so angry her teeth ached, but she knew Yang Zhen's reckless and unruly nature, so she didn't continue in this direction, because continuing would probably only make her angrier.
Seeing Yang Zhen's carefree, leisurely expression, Empress of Emperor Su Palace couldn't help but ask, " The Western Region are in turmoil right now, with countless powerful beings gathered here. You... deliberately leaked this information; aren't you afraid of attracting retaliation?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "You don't understand, this is called a calculated move!"
"I don't understand?" Empress of Emperor Su Palace glared and said, "I don't care what your relationship is with the Third Holy Maiden of Jade Pool Holy Land, but since we've come to the Western Region together, you can't be so reckless. Even I don't dare to easily offend Saint Venerable Luo, yet you're making a scene that's known throughout the city. No, it's not just Saint Venerable Luo anymore. With this Heavenly Star Assessment, you've offended almost all the young geniuses in the Western Region."
So what?
Yang Zhen asked with a curious look, "Do you think they will team up against me?"
"Isn't that so?" Empress of Emperor Su Palace looked at Yang Zhen with an absurd expression, saying incredulously, "So you knew the consequences, yet you still did it. This matter certainly can't be kept from Chen Xiaotian and the others. Once they know you're here, they'll definitely be on high alert. What are we going to do?"
Seeing the worried look on the Empress of Emperor Su Palace's face, Yang Zhen laughed heartily, leaving Empress of Emperor Su Palace completely bewildered, before finally asking, "What is the purpose of our visit here?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace was taken aback. In a moment of impulsiveness, she had followed Yang Zhen into the Western Region. Who knew what Yang Zhen's purpose was in coming here? Wasn't it to find a rare and precious treasure from the Savage Wilderness?
Thinking of this, Empress of Emperor Su Palace trembled and looked at Yang Zhen in surprise, asking, "Your goal isn't the Savage Wilderness Treasure?"
Despite asking this question, Empress of Emperor Su Palace was already basically certain.
Before they arrived in the Western Region, the two had no idea that Savage Wilderness treasure would be born Western Region.
So... what exactly is Yang Zhen's purpose in coming here?
Upon hearing Empress of Emperor Su Palace's words, Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Of course it's a rare treasure from the Savage Wilderness! Who wouldn't want something like that?"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace shook her head, staring at Yang Zhen and said, "It's definitely not. You don't need to lie to me. What is your purpose in coming here, and what is your relationship with Chen Xiaotian? Besides, even if you have other purposes, you shouldn't put yourself in such a precarious position."
Yang Zhen shook his head and sighed, muttering, "No wonder the villagers always say that a beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million."
"Wh... what do you mean?" Empress of Emperor Su Palace's face hardened, and she glared angrily at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen approached Empress of Emperor Su Palace and said, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. I'm here because..."
Upon hearing this, Empress of Emperor Su Palace's eyes lit up, and she practically put her ear to Yang Zhen's mouth.
That bastard finally told the truth; dealing with him is exhausting.
This is also because the Empress of Emperor Su Palace and Yang Zhen were not familiar with each other. If they were familiar with Yang Zhen, they would know that no matter what Yang Zhen was doing, they should not try to guess what Yang Zhen wanted to do.
Yang Zhen paused, looked at the curious Empress of Emperor Su Palace, sat up straight, and said, "I'm here to stir up trouble, and if I'm going to stir up trouble, the bigger the better."
Upon hearing this, Empress of Emperor Su Palace almost slammed her fist on the table, glaring at Yang Zhen and saying, "And then you made yourself known to everyone?"
Yang Zhen curled his lip and said, "Why don't you understand? Everyone knows it, but what will those so-called Saint Venerable Luo and Jin Chanzi do when they encounter someone as interesting as me?"
"Of course I scoff at it!" Empress of Emperor Su Palace said irritably.
"That's what ordinary people do. If they did that, I would despise them," Yang Zhen said, waving his hand.
Empress of Emperor Su Palace's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "You mean... they might meet?"
Yang Zhen snapped his fingers and said, "If everyone acts independently, wouldn't it be easier for us to cause trouble?"
"Yes... but now they might team up, how are you going to cause trouble?"
"It's not me, it's us!" Yang Zhen chuckled and said, "We're not good at causing trouble, and that's all. We're in the open, while Chen Xiaotian and the others are in the shadows. They're completely clueless because we can't cause trouble. But we don't have any ulterior motives when we do cause trouble, Chen Xiaotian and the others."
"Ah!"
Empress of Emperor Su Palace stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Yang Zhen, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Yes, if these people unite against Yang Zhen, it will be very difficult for Yang Zhen to cause trouble. But it will be even more difficult for Chen Xiaotian and his Chen Xiaotian than for Yang Zhen.
That bastard Yang Zhen, how could he be so calculating?
For a fleeting moment, the Empress of Emperor Su Palace even had the idea of kidnapping Yang Zhen and taking him back to the Emperor Su Palace.
That bastard is terrifying!
Yang Zhen, unaware that he had suddenly become easy prey, grinned slyly and said, "Just you wait, there's going to be a big show in the Western Region this time. Damn it, this Sage of Saunter can't wait any longer! What on earth is that old geezer Chen Xiaotian up to?"
