Boom!

  The rank-five advanced cultivation was instantly released out of Jiang He’s body. His abundant True Qi rumbled like a gushing river, a booming sound resounding as the illusion of a great sun rose behind him, illuminating Pudgy Jiang’s bruised and bewildered face.

  Roar!

  A draconic bellow ensued, and the silhouette of a golden dragon blasted out of Jiang He’s palm towards Pudgy Jiang.

  “Woah!”


  Pudgy Jiang only realized what happened just then, and promptly directed his True Qi’s flow over his rounded figure, making it glow faintly and rapidly expand as if it were filled with gas.

  And then……

  Bang!

  Poof~~

  Jiang He’s Mighty Dragon Shows Remorse slammed onto Pudgy Jiang’s body, throwing him into the air upside down, shriveling just like a balloon losing gas. When he landed, the 200-catties worth of chubbiness was now a dried, skinny, middle-aged man, and his facial features even looked delicate and pretty now.

  Grunting as he got up and vomiting a mouthful of blood, he glared widely at Jiang He and muttered, “Aren’t…… aren’t you rank-five advanced? There’s no way you’re that powerful!”


  Jiang He was confused too.

  Wow!

  What was going on?

  Why did Chief Jiang feel weaker than Cheng Dongfeng, who repressed his cultivation?

  “Did you hold back your cultivation too, Chief Jiang? By the way, why did you become like that?” asked Jiang He, glancing at his own palm in surprise.

  Could the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms come with body-slimming and beautifying effects?

  Pudgy Jiang’s face turned green.

  Duan Tianhe quickly came to calm things down. “Alright, it’s just a spar, there’s no need to go further…… Jiang He, you really are much stronger than before.”


  Even as he spoke, he used Secret Acoustics to communicate with Pudgy Jiang, ‘The kid is too abnormal. Don’t use common sense to measure him.’


  Then, he told Pudgy Jiang about what actually happened when Jiang He challenged Cheng Dongfeng. Pudgy Jiang’s eyes lit up, while his mental state was utterly thrown off balance.

  He hence walked up to Jiang He and threw an arm over his shoulder, chuckling. “Jiang He, so you’ve beat up that dog Cheng Dongfeng before? Come, do tell me about it……”


  Jiang He was taken aback.

  What?

  Isn’t your attitude changing a little too quickly?

  And I’ve just beat you until you vomitted blood…… or could you be thankful because my palm beautified you?

  Unable to decide if he should laugh or cry, Duan Tianhe used Secret Acoustics again to say, ‘Jiang He, that’s what Pudgy Jiang is like. His mouth is like a knife, while his heart is tofu. He is just a little foul-mouthed……’


  ***

  Soon, Linzhou City’s Martial Arts Department (MAD) and Mu Wanqiu’s people arrived.

  The MAD awarded Jiang He 3,000 merit points for the Ferals and Sky Demon cultists he killed, which was equal to three hundred million dollars. And that was only because Jiang He had put aside four rank-six Feral wolf corpses, leaving them unaccounted for.

  Each of them would have been 500 merit points, but Jiang He had no intentions to give them away. It was just a total of 2,000 merit points, and would he not expose the ability of his System Backpack if he took them out directly?

  On the other hand, the Superpower Research Deparment’s offered prices were low, and only afforded him two hundred million dollars for the corpses. After all, most of those corpses were mangled and burnt, and a lot of them were a pile of black ashes that served no research value.

  Mu Wanqiu came to him after the trade concluded. “Jiang He, can I talk to you for a moment?”


  They waked to the far side of the mountaintop, where Mu Wanqiu lowered her voice until it was like a mosquito’s as she stuttered, “Jiang He…… do you have any solutions to weaken the effect of your corns?”


  She then looked around, before pulling Jiang He to the foot of the mountain to avoid everyone else, before unzipping her leather jacket. Jiang He’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her carefully.

  Woah!

  How did they become so huge?

  After a gasp, he then put on a serious look. “What are you doing, Miss Mu? Prudence should be observed between genders. Please put your clothes on.”


  Mu Wanqiu clenched her teeth.

  Could you turn away when you say that?

  Still, she let that slide and showed a pained smile. “Jiang He, I was a little greedy and drank the juice from two corns…… and now I’m too huge. I’m a H-cup, and putting aside the fact that it’s hard to walk around, dressing up is also difficult now.”


  ‘So H is that huge……’


  Jiang He felt that he had gained knowledge in a certain respect and discreetly nodded in acclaim, before saying, “Miss Mu, I did tell you before that you shouldn’t eat too many. Moreover, I did offer to check your size so as to draw up plan for a second puberty, but you declined. And now you come to me when there are problems?”


  “Sorry!”


  “I don’t provide aftersales services.”


  Mu Wanqiu stamped her feet but said, “I’m not blaming you, Jiang He! I just want to ask if you have any ideas for me to…… slim down.”


  Jiang He shook his head. “No. I told you before, I found the corns in the wild. They must have gained those special effects because they absorbed the Force for a special evolution, and I have no idea how to get you to slim down.”


  But even as he spoke, Jiang He’s eyes twitched. Earlier, his palm had slimmed Pudgy Jiang, and beautified him too…… Would the same effect be achieved if he used his palm on Mu Wanqiu’s sinful mounds?

  After some thought, he decided not to do it. They were just so huge. What if they blew up?

  Nonetheless, Jiang He consoled Mu Wanqiu when he saw her scowl, “Miss Mu, you don’t have to shrink them. I think they are fine as they are now, large but not sagging……”


  ***

  Jiang He only returned to Jinyintan Village after keeping busy until sunrise.

  Since his mansion had been worked on over the last twenty-four hours by workers working over three different shifts, progress was quick and one floor was already finished. Jiang He himself knew nothing about building houses at all, and he was not bothered to care since Wang Sizhen was keeping an eye on things.

  So, he sought him out and said, “Big Onion Bro, let the workers rest for a day. I’ll pay them as usual.”


  “What’s up?” asked Wang Sizhen in surprise. “Didn’t you say to work on it as fast as we could?”


  “I have some stuff to do,” replied Jiang He, deliberately being vague.

  Nonetheless, the workers were quite pleased since they were getting paid even without working.

  It was only after all the workers left that Jiang He went into his yard. With a flick of his hand, two rank-six Feral wolf corpses that were not so burnt appeared on the ground.

  He took out his cleaver and chopped off 100kg worth of flesh off each of the corpses, and drained 10L of blood, burying them before taking out the piece of Leopard Python’s tail. He simply chopped a little over 50kg off and buried it as well.

  [Ding!]

  [Congratulations, Host! You have successfully improved your farm to level 3.]

  [Additional rewards: Walnut seed x1, Bottle gourd seed x1, System Backpack +6]

  The System’s notifications jingled in his mind.

  “Walnut seed? Bottle gourd seed?”


  Staring at the bottle gourd seed that was fully golden, as thick as a thumb, and up to 6cm long, Jiang He became thoughtful.

  Bottle gourd seed?

  What the heck?

  “Is this damn system trying to make me a geezer?”
