The fatty scampered and was this close to gaining on Chen Ming. But a rock had other intentions as he tripped on it, rolling in front of him instead, “What are you doing? Rolling for added speed?”


  His leg was in a sudden vice by a certain fatty, “I don’t care! From now on you will be my Master!”


  Chen Ming said, “Your talent might be good, unrivaled even, but your far a ways from getting into my sect.”


  “I don’t care! You taught me and I will give my all to pay such gratitude. That makes you my Master!”


  Chen Ming flicked his leg, then resumed his trek.

  Fatty never left his vicinity, walking as close as possible.

  Chen Ming was in front with the fatty following behind him in silence.

  The sun rose and the moon fell three times.

  Fatty braced through after Chen Ming. He was fat, hard to move for so long, but these days of walking thinned him out a bit.

  Chen Ming stopped and turned, “Why do you want to follow me?”


  “Master must be testing my heart. With how grand Master is, you can just fly away, but you waited for me. You have to be testing disciple’s heart!”


  Chen Ming smiled, Smart. “I shall teach you, child. From today, you are the fifth disciple of the Lord of Yan Mountain, Master of the Scarlet Tide, Alliance Leader, Demonic Sect Chief, Lord of the Hall of Martyrs, Lord of Yan Mountain Financial Group, Chen Ming!”


  The fatty felt dizzy at his self-entitlements, but this was not the time nor the place to mind such things. For Chen Ming to accept him was his greatest fortune. The fatty kneeled, “Disciple pays his respects, Master!”


  Chen Ming lowered himself to fatty’s level, “Now, tell me of your name.”


  Fatty was about to speak but, after a short pause, his face hardened and then said, “Disciple is nameless. I wish that Master bestows me one!”


  Chen Ming snickered, Oh my, there are some conflicts in his family. He doesn’t even tell me his name. I like this storyline!

  It goes like this. His family must have loathed him, and because of deep hatred and thirst for revenge, a lonely prince traveled to the far reaches to amass his army and pay them back tenfold!

  Chen Ming mulled it over, “Henceforth, you shall be called Wan Baqian!”


  He kowtowed again in joy, “Disciple Wan Baqian is ever thankful for Master’s grace!”


  “Rise. Don’t let anyone know of your Master’s identity in this place. When we’re at Yan Mountain, we will conduct the ceremony.”


  The fatty sprung to his feet, “Many thanks, Master!”


  Chen Ming returned to the cultivators’ camp, where they witnessed Ember on his back, “This can’t be! He can even subdue Ember?”


  “Is there anything this Crown Prince Star Dragon cannot do?”


  “So that’s why Star Dragons have always been taboo, that is why we were sent to kill Fairy Star Dragon!”


  Chen Ming rolled his eyes, “Enough chatter! Just a following of the storyline for a while, so don’t go and be annoying. Now be good fellas and line up towards the tavern!”


  The shame was unbearable to them, almost, as they dared not retort. He even kicked an immortal to his death. Crown Prince Star Dragon is the devil incarnate. Can’t mess with him.

  Chen Ming said, “Oh, right. I heard Tian Bushou’s cultivation method landed in Moon Palace’s hands, right?”


  A woman in white stepped from the Moon Palace’s group with a thin sword in her grip. She extended an arm as to protect the girls behind her, “This doesn’t concern them. If you want it, come at me.”


  The woman took a slow carefree walk into a tent, “I invite Crown Prince Star Dragon for a chat. ”


  The fatty whispered in Chen Ming’s ear, “The Moon Palace has many women, each with a large number of lovers. They take advantage of their beauty to control other cultivators.”


  Chen Ming nodded, his thinking, You’re delusional if you think you can grab Immortal Master Chen by the balls!

  Chen Ming brushed the tent flap and walked right in, “Where’s the inheritance? I am a man who does not like wasting words.”


  Her fair hand brushed upon his shoulder, her smile tender, “Crown Prince Star Dragon, Fairy Star Dragon is cold and unfeeling. I am not a snobbish woman. If you wish, this girl shall attend to you in a joyous night……”


  Chen Ming lifted her by the throat, “Don’t you understand words? I said I do not like wasting words. Take out the inheritance. I will count to three, and if it doesn’t turn up, I might get quick to anger, with you ending cold on the ground!”


  The pain in her throat kept building as Chen Ming’s grip sank in, in more ways than one.

  She waved and a stone tablet touched the ground, five-foot in size. Chen Ming eyed it and said in his heart, “Comprehend its scripture.”


  “Ding! Requires a hundred million merits. Insufficient merits.”


  Eh? It’s the real deal!

  Chen Ming waved it in his storage ring. Zhuo Qingyao’s cultivation method, check!

  Chen Ming let go and the woman touched her neck, his finger marks still lingering. Chen Ming said, “You should have done this from the start. Right, I want to ask you something. If you don’t have legs, can you wear shoes?”


  The woman was baffled. Why the odd question? “How can I without legs?”


  Chen Ming said in earnest, “Why wear a bra then?”


  She looked down and, instead of her chest, she saw her legs……

  Chen Ming said in a genuine tone, “Why do you try to show off when you have neither the chest nor the rear……”


  With the most important item in the bag, Chen Ming turned to the crowd outside, “You will now come with me. Don’t fall behind or who knows what might happen!”


  With ten thousand people under his thumb, he returned to the prison. After tucking them in, “This trip had no other purpose but to murder fiends. In my eyes, this is war. And since your side lost, you must compensate until I’m satisfied. Any complaints?”


  Was there any who dared speak up at this point?

  The only way out was to heel under Chen Ming’s tyranny, uh…… heroism, yes.

  Chen Ming continued, “Take out all your immortal equipment and storage rings, then remove your imprint.”


  Fatty was next to him, eyes glinting darkly, “Master, your business is booming!”


  Chen Ming snickered, “Please, you’re far too kind.”


  Chen Ming turned to the Headless Assembly’s group. The most pressing matter was whether there was a Faceless among them that leaked what happened here.
