　　Duan Jiu De?

　　Hearing this name, the Water Empress was confused. “Isn’t he your master? Why on earth would you want me to tell you something about your own master?”

　　“Master my ass! Those were all lies. I don’t even know him. I used to pretend to be his disciple so people would be afraid of me. However, recently, he looted the Imperial Tombs of the Earth Nation and Wood Nation and plucked their herbs. After that, he told the world that he is also a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, and asked me to go see him!” Xu Que was getting furious. “I have never met a man as shameless as him!”

　　“Duan Jiu De would not forgive you for this and he would definitely seek revenge. I suggest you stay in the palace and hone your cultivation,” the Water Empress said gently.

　　Xu Que sneered. “He took two herbs that are supposed to be mine. I will teach him a lesson as soon as I get my hands on the Genesis Water Herbs.”

　　Before this, Xu Que had already plucked the Genesis Fire Herbs during his time in Country. This had alerted Duan Jiu De to the fact that Xu Que wanted the Genesis Five Herbs. So now, he had taken the Genesis Earth Herbs and the Genesis Wood Herbs in order to lure Xu Que out.

　　In fact, Xu Que had already decided that even if he had already taken the herbs away, he would have to teach him a lesson.

　　But the problem was that he had no idea where Duan Jiu De was. So he was asking the Water Empress to see if she had any ideas.

　　“He indeed has a very complicated background, even I do not know too much about him. I suggest you let him go. Although the Genesis Five Herbs are very rare, they are not that essential. You can just stay here and practise your cultivation, just forget this business,” the Water Empress said calmly.

　　Although she did not know too much about Duan Jiu De, she knew that he was a cruel man. Even if Xu Que managed to find him, he would not be able to defeat him.

　　Xu Que shook his head. “I don’t care. Once I find him, I will punch him in the face!”

　　The Water Empress knew that Xu Que was a stubborn man who would not change his mind easily. She then smiled and said, “I will help you then.”

　　Hearing this, Xu Que smiled. “Deal! Let’s make a pinky promise!”

　　He put his finger against the Water Empress’. “Pinky, pinky bow-bell, whoever tells a lie will sink down to the underworld and never rise up again.”

　　The Water Empress was surprised and frowned a bit.

　　“All right! You should stick to your promise. This is really serious.”

　　The Water Empress was speechless.

　　But after a while, Xu Que started to feel a bit insecure. In fact, the pinky swear had just been a sort of show, he had just wanted an excuse to touch the Water Empress. But now he felt insecure as the Water Empress had gone silent.

　　“Huh, it is late now, we’d better sleep now. You sleep on this side, I will take the other side… never mind, I will go back to my room, since I have got some letters to write.” Xu Que changed his tune when the Water Empress’ facial expression got strange.

　　Xu Que went back to his room and patted himself on his chest. He was finally feeling relieved.

　　She is really quite something! I have slept with so many women before, so why on earth am I such coward in front of her? How embarrassing!

　　Xu Que slapped himself.

　　“Huh, why you are slapping yourself? Well. let me do it for you,” Buttface said.

　　Xu Que turned his head around and saw Buttface coming out of a hole in a corner of his room.

　　“You shameless b*stard! How dare you come back?!” Xu Que said angrily and pressed down hard on the dog’s head.

　　“Let me go!” Buttface shouted.

　　“Go f*ck yourself. How dare you talk ill of me when you were the one who ran away last time! I am going to teach you a lesson this time.”

　　Buttface struggled hard to run away and hit the wall with his body.

　　Bang!

　　The wall collapsed. Then he quickly ran away. “B*stard!”

　　Xu Que snapped his fingers and chanted a magic inscription.

　　“Aaaah!”

　　The collar on his neck was shrinking, he then fell on the ground and began to scream.

　　Xu Que hit him bitterly and he finally calmed down.

　　“I just came back to get more food… the food I took with me was not enough at all…”

　　“Stay here, if you dare to run away, I will boil you for soup.”

　　Buttface did not dare say anything and pretended to be sleeping.

　　…

　　The next morning, Xu Que woke up early, about to head to the Imperial Tombs.

　　Before he opened the door, he head a few maids talking outside.

　　“Why on earth does the Water Empress suddenly want to hold an auction? Those objects are all her favorites.”

　　“I heard that all the money has been taken away by the Ice Queen. The people are in dire need of money, so she has decided to sell her belongings.”

　　“In fact, if she asked the rich businessmen and the Dukes for help, they would definitely donate a huge amount of money and Spirit Stones to her. But she is too kind to make such a request.”

　　“Anyway, I believe the auction will be a great success. Like the few belongings she always takes with her, people would definitely buy them.”

　　“Of course. I heard that the Water Empress even took out some books of magic inscriptions and magic weapons. She must be in great need of money and Spirit Stones.”

　　…

　　Hearing this, Xu Que was surprised.

　　All the money’s gone? The Water Empress is going to hold an auction? To sell her belongings? I should be the one to buy them off! I can’t possibly allow anyone else to get them!

　　He opened the door and went straight to the bedroom of the Water Empress.

　　Bang! Bang! Bang!

　　“Young lady, open the door. I have come to check your water meter…oh, no, I have actually come to ‘bribe’ you.”
