My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

In the eyes of that bizarre scorpion, we might as well have been mere ants.

Thinking this, Li Longhu’s expression became rather unpleasant.

At this moment, Emperor Zhou, standing nearby, spoke with a smile, "Guanger, what exactly did you see when you entered the Around Immortal Residence? What did you take? Feel free to show us."

Emperor Zhou was quite curious about what treasures Cheng Guang may have acquired from the Around Immortal Residence.

Cheng Guang heard Emperor Zhou’s words but showed little reaction.

Upon hearing Emperor Zhou’s words, Cheng Zhihai beside Cheng Guang revealed a look of surprise.

At any other time, Emperor Zhou, at least superficially, always displayed a doting affection towards Cheng Guang.

Could it be that he didn’t even want to pretend this time?

Or was it that he was also coveting the items that Guanger might have obtained?

Cheng Zhihai didn’t quite understand.

He wanted to say something, but surrounded by the watchful eyes of the Sky-Men, Cheng Zhihai felt a weighty pressure bearing down on him.

Just as he was about to step forward, approaching Cheng Guang, Cheng Guang himself spoke with a smile.

"Uncle, why say such things? If you want to see what I’ve obtained, I’ll be happy to show you," Cheng Guang said.

Saying this, Cheng Guang didn’t hesitate to remove the storage ring he was wearing on his finger and flung it straight to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou caught the storage ring reflexively and was momentarily taken aback.

He hadn’t anticipated that Cheng Guang would so readily hand over everything he had gotten from the Secret Realm.

At the same time, Emperor Zhou could clearly sense that Cheng Guang had indeed handed over all his possessions to him.

Through his perception, there remained not a single Storage Treasure on Cheng Guang’s person.

Apart from Emperor Zhou, the other Sky-Men also realized this and shifted their gaze from Cheng Guang to Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou said with a smile, "Guanger is indeed a generous child, truly unsparing to his own uncle. These are probably just some trinkets."

As he spoke, Emperor Zhou’s Primordial Spirit stirred slightly, and his thoughts reached out to open the storage ring for a quick look.

But after a mere glance, Emperor Zhou’s expression shifted to one of shock, and no sooner had his words ended than he promptly rose and dashed off into the distance.

He didn’t seem to want to linger at the spot for even a moment longer.

After Emperor Zhou vanished, Li Longhu and the other Sky-Men were momentarily stunned, then their expressions turned to anger.

They had all come together, and now was Emperor Zhou really intending to keep all the spoils for himself?

They quickly followed Emperor Zhou’s lead, their Qi swirling as they broke through the air to keep up with his pace.

At the same time, although the group of Sky-Men still harbored a certain fear of the bizarre scorpion guarding the Around Immortal Residence — even though the creature had not attacked them — caution dictated they maintain a comfortable distance from it.

The strength of that bizarre scorpion was by far beyond what one or two Sky-Men could compare to.

Its true power was likely far beyond their imagination.

Under its vigilant watch, the chance to reap gains from the wine jars within that could enhance their cultivation realms was probably lost.

The opportunity to acquire treasures from the Around Immortal Residence was equally lost. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And that was considered fortunate.

It was for this reason that they furiously stirred their Qi, chasing after Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou, as expected of a practitioner of the Spirit Dao, possessed great strength and a high Cultivation Realm. He was much stronger than most who followed the path of Martial Cultivation to reach the Heavenly Human Realm.

In just a moment, he had vanished from sight.

For Li Longhu and the others to catch up with Emperor Zhou would probably take some more time.

Stroking his chin, Cheng Guang thought that although the Secret Realm was quite vast, space was still limited. No matter how well Emperor Zhou could hide, he couldn’t stay hidden for very long.

At this moment, Cheng Guang was not saddened by the fact that he had given all his belongings to Emperor Zhou.

Under the watchful eyes of so many Sky-Men, he had little room to resist. Even with Empress Wei by his side, a single Empress Wei could not withstand so many Sky-Men.

Now Cheng Guang was somewhat curious about what Emperor Zhou had discovered in his storage ring that could make him so eager to leave behind the other Sky-Men, risking being pursued, just to take away his storage ring.

Cheng Guang didn’t understand.

There were indeed some nice items in his storage ring.

But most of them he couldn’t recognize.

Seeing Emperor Zhou’s urgency just now, it was evident that he recognized something within the storage ring.

Regardless, not everything inside his storage ring was of value; there were some unpleasant items as well.

Cheng Guang wondered if Emperor Zhou would be able to discover the ’gift’ he had left him.

Cheng Guang pondered this as his gaze fell on the bizarre scorpion atop the Around Immortal Residence.

"Duke of the State’s Heir, did you just hand over the opportunity you worked so hard to obtain to Emperor Zhou?"

At that moment, Empress Wei, with her beautiful eyes fixed on Cheng Guang and her lips slightly parted, began to speak slowly.

Empress Wei was somewhat puzzled.

The opportunity that Cheng Guang had secured included items she coveted, yet Cheng Guang gave them away so carelessly to Emperor Zhou.

Despite having her protection, why did the Duke of the State’s Heir choose to do this?

Empress Wei couldn’t understand.

Cheng Guang simply smiled and said, "It’s okay; he’s just holding onto them for me for now. In that situation, if I hadn’t handed them over, those Sky-Men would be targeting me right now instead of Emperor Zhou."
