âBull crap! I risked my life to scam them silly. I risked my life to dig through the Heavenly Wolf Sectâs ancestral grave. I earned this! Give me my reward now! Thereâs a seal on the storage bangle that you canât break. Donât try to cheat me out of my money!â Zhang Zhengdao jumped angrily.
Princess Youyue looked at the two of them awkwardly.
âTake a look,â said Wang Ke as he took out the storage bangle, reluctantly handing it over to Zhang Zhengdao, âIs it this one?â
âYes, thatâs the one. Give it to me, now!â Zhang Zhengdao snatched it over excitedly.
He only felt relieved after making sure that the seal was still there.
After that, he used his essence energy to force the storage bangle open.
âRumble!â
A series of muffled sounds could be heard from the storage bangle, caused by Zhang Zhengdaoâs efforts.
âIt has a password lock; it canât be opened except by Zhang Shenxu himself. Why donât you ask the princess for help?â Wang Ke suggested.
âNo need. Zhang Shenxu is at the Golden Core stage. Iâm also a Golden Core cultivator. His password, ptooey, the seal will be opened soon!â Zhang Zhengdao quickly placed the storage bangle behind his back, away from the other two.
âWeâre not going to snatch it from you!â Princess Youyue said. Zhang Zhengdaoâs actions were bizarre to her.
âPrincess, I know you wonât snatch it from me. But Iâm not sure about Wang Ke, this iron rooster. He hasnât seen the treasures inside the bangle, or else he would surely pounce on me! This belongs to me. All the treasures inside are mine⊠I exchanged them with my life!â Zhang Zhengdao exclaimed, visibly agitated.
âForget it, just let him be. Princess Youyue, youâre also at the Golden Core stage now. If itâs not too troublesome, could you help me break these seals too?â Wang Ke requested, looking at the princess.
âSure!â Princess Youyue nodded.
Zhang Zhengdao was at a loss. Help you break seals?Donât tell me you have more storage bangles?
While Zhang Zhengdao was still confused about the situation, Wang Ke took out five storage bangles from his chest pocket!
Five?Storage bangles?
Zhang Zhengdaoâs jaw dropped. Where did Wang Ke get those bangles?
Before Zhang Zhengdao could ask, he saw Wang Ke take out six more storage bangles from his sleeves, pants, and shoes.
âEleven? Thatâs impossible. I must be seeing things. Where did Wang Ke get that many storage bangles?â Zhang Zhengdao mumbled as he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
âI only have these many. Sorry to trouble you, Princess Youyue. Let me take stock of my storage bag first!â Wang Ke sighed in amazement.
As he spoke, he took out thirty-two storage bags. Wang Keâs body shrunk in the blink of an eye.
âGulp!â Zhang Zhengdao swallowed his saliva.
âWang Ke, where did you get so much good stuff? Did you pillage an immortal sect? When did you do that?â Zhang Zhengdao asked, glaring at him.
âEnough with the rubbish. Take out Zhang Shenxuâs stuff and give me back my storage bangle!â Wang Ke replied with a stare.
Seeing Wang Ke acting so coldblooded, Zhang Zhengdao said with a bitter face, âHumph. Youâre such a petty man, to not even answer my question. I curse you so that you only find trash in those storage bangles and bags⊠Not even a pound of spirit stones!â
But how could there be nothing in those demonsâ storage bags? Wang Ke opened each storage bag, and a bright light shone from the treasures contained within, lighting up the entire hall. Zhang Zhengdaoâs eyes reddened with jealousy.
âWang Ke, this storage bangle is already open. Thereâs a hundred thousand pounds of spirit stones, thirty medicine bottles, and some minor enchanted artifacts! Wah, thereâs a flying sword?â Princess Youyue marveled as she handed over the first storage item.
The heart of the nearby Zhang Zhengdao thumped heavily. He felt desperate, eager to simply leap over and snatch everything from Wang Ke. But he no longer dared to act recklessly since Wang Ke had become Chen Tianyuanâs disciple.
âOh? Sun Songâs flying sword? Itâs so so. Princess Youyue, please open the other bangles too, thank you!â Wang Ke said.
âPiece of cake!â The princess continued cracking the password locks for Wang Ke.
Zhang Zhengdaoâs teeth itched in envy. Still, he could only wish that there would be more treasures in Zhang Shenxuâs storage bangle. Zhang Shenxuâs storage seal was very strong, which made it extremely difficult for him to break.
âââ
Outside the Heavenly Wolf Sectâ
Zhang Shenxu rested on a crane, wrapped in bandages; Zhang Liâerâs eyes burned in anger as he looked at him. She felt even more indignant after hearing her younger brotherâs recount of the events.
âWang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao? Donât worry. I will avenge you!â Zhang Liâer said coldly.
âNo, sister. I will claim revenge on my own! Let me do it myself!â Zhang Shenxu said with a murderous rage.
âButâŠ?â
âNo buts. I will rinse away this humiliation!â Zhang Shenxu was determined.
âOkay! But did they take away everything from you after you were struck down by lighting? Shall I go back and get them to return it to you?â Zhang Liâer was worried.
âItâs all right!â Zhang Shenxu responded with a deep voice.
âOh?â
âMy white fan entered my body to protect me. It guarded my heart meridian, and itâs still inside my body. I didnât lose it! Most of my possessions are inside the white fan! Thereâs nothing much inside the storage bangle; those are all worthless things, let them have it. I will take it as giving handouts to beggars. Humph, I shall exact my revenge later!â Zhang Shenxu said disdainfully.
âSo, all the items in the storage bangle they snatched from you were rubbish? Okay then! Letâs forget about it. Humph!â Zhang Liâer snorted coldly.
