Chapter 93 - 093 Meow Meow Meow Meow
What?
Sing a song and receive a Jade Ganoderma Lucidum?
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised face, eager to try. If learning a song could get a Jade Ganoderma Lucidum, the people here could learn Yang Zhen into bankruptcy!
The Great Clan Elder chuckled at Yang Zhen, picked up the spiritual tea on the table and leaned towards the other two elders. “Doesn’t this young fellow Yang Zhen know that your third sister used to be called the Spirit Soul singer?”
The second elder went into a trance, a look of nostalgia on his face, “Yes, an easy hundred years have passed since then. I still miss your sister’s ethereal voice. This chap Yang Zhen isn’t too bad. Though eccentric, he’s of good character. Should we consider him for Youyue?”
The Great Clan Elder laughed and shook his head, “Let the young ones sort it out themselves. Weren’t we same when we were young and ambitious? At this age, they should be polemical. I quite like Yang Zhen’s personality; in contrast, Xiao Ji comes off as a bit gloomy.”
The two elders fell silent. The Great Clan Elder snapped out of his daze and looked at the tea in his hand, “Bring me my treasured Jade Dragon tea.”
Jade Dragon Tea?
Dajiang Country’s National Mentor looked at the Great Clan Elder with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
The news of the Jade Dragon Tea brought a simultaneous change in the faces of everyone present.
Jade Dragon Tea was very rare, and the Great Clan Elder seldom drank it. Now he was willing to serve it to everyone, which obviously showed how much importance he attached to the occasion.
The third elder regained his composure, even revealing a hint of laughter and nostalgia, which left all the younger generations stunned.
When had they ever seen the normally stern third elder with such an expression?
The surprise was one thing, but the admiration in the eyes of the younger generation was quite something else. Admiring a Golden Core Stage practitioner, who showed no fear or inferiority in front of so many senior experts, and who was even bold enough to ask the third elder to sing. This courage and temperament commanded their absolute respect.
The tea aroma filled the place, and everyone began tasting the tea, a satisfied smile on their faces.
The third elder looked at Yang Zhen and asked, “Yang, is your offer serious?”
Yang Zhen waved his hand, “My word is my bond!”
“Good!” The third elder’s wrinkle-filled face bore a smile that unsettled Yang Zhen.
What’s going on?
Is he planning to sing despite his old age?
Old and fierce, I better not provoke him.
Yang Zhen admired the third elder, leaning in to whisper a catchy tune into the elder’s ear.
The third clan elder shivered and looked at Yang Zhen in shock. He cried out, “Spirit Soul power?”
Yang Zhen pursed his lips. How naive! Hua Youyue had only ingested a small part of the Holy Spirit Root, yet she had managed to gather the Spirit Soul power. He had already created a spirit sea, lit up quite a few life stars, and chewed more than half of the Holy Spirit Root. If he still didn’t have Spirit Soul power, he would doubt his life’s meaning.
At the third elder’s cry, everyone’s eyes hardened, especially Xiao Ji and the National Mentor from Dajiang Country, both their eyes twitched.
Now, Xiao Ji had no presence at all. It seemed that since Yang Zhen arrived, he had become the focus of the council hall.
Yang Zhen’s personality, the treasures he had, his eccentric manner, all these elements challenged everyone’s hearts.
“This, this…this is preposterous!” The third elder’s face went slack with surprise. He glared at Yang Zhen and said, “Young friend Yang, could you perhaps pick another song?”
Crunch!
Yang Zhen took a bite out of the Jade Ganoderma Lucidum!
“Or perhaps we could go with two songs instead?”
Crunch!
“Show some restraint! You’ve already eaten half…”
“Crack!”
Hua Jingshan and the Great Clan Elder exchanged puzzled glances, unsure why the Three Clan Elders wore such a fury and troubled expression, looking suspiciously at Yang Zhen.
With the Three Clan Elders’ mastery in the rhythm of music, let alone one song, even a hundred songs could easily be managed. In the past, countless princes, nobles, and talented persons traveled thousands of miles to Flame City just to listen to a piece sung by the Three Clan Elders.
“You…” The face of the Three Clan Elders turned red, staring at Yang Zhen, somewhat at a loss.
The Great Clan Elder suddenly trembled, a glimmer of ecstatic excitement appearing in his eyes, he said to the Second Clan Elder, “I understand now, our younger sister must be on the verge of a breakthrough!”
“What?” The Second Clan Elder, along with a few people by his side, were startled and then realized, “No wonder our younger sister is so concerned about the Jade Ganoderma Lucidum, she… truly has the strongest talent in the Hua Family. She has actually surpassed us. This advancement will certainly take our family’s strength to a new level, we might be able to turn the tide in just two years’ time.”
Oh my!
Yang Zhen looked at the Three Clan Elders in surprise, her aura was as boundless as the ocean, simply unfathomable. So she was actually going to break through? What was her cultivation level?
It was no wonder she didn’t lose her temper on the spot, at her age, another breakthrough could possibly draw the terrifying celestial catastrophe. The Jade Ganoderma Lucidum could not only allow her to pass through this calamity safely but also ensure that her Spirit Soul remained unharmed. It was certainly the best choice.
“Sing, younger sister. It’s been a long time since I heard you sing!” the Great Clan Elder took a deep breath, exclaiming.
The Second Clan Elder laughed heartily, similarly nodding his head, “Yes, little sister, sing!”
“Sister, show these youngsters your musical prowess!”
“Three Clan Elders, Sing!”
“Yeah Three Clan Elders, sing!”
People began to speak one after another. The Great Clan Elder was delighted, as if he had become several decades younger, holding his cup of dragon tea and laughing heartily, he spoke to everyone, “Our younger sister has been praised as the soul singer in her youth, it’s really hard to hear her sing. Let’s take this opportunity to enjoy the tea and music today!”
Yang Zhen looked strange; enjoy tea and music?
Are you guys serious?
Everyone agreed and lifted their tea cups to enjoy a big gulp.
The Three Clan Elders appeared dazed, it seemed as if he too had become several decades younger. She glared at Yang Zhen, then facing the crowd, she said in an embarrassed manner, “Well… well then, I’ll try!”
The Great Clan Elder smilingly nodded his head; he raised a cup of dragon tea towards the state teacher of Dajiang Country, and both of them drank it all in one gulp.
“Shall we… should we imitate the cat together? Meow, meow, meow, meow…”
With her hands clenched into fists, her wrists slightly bent and put on her face, knees bent and swaying from left to right, following Yang Zhen’s instructions to bring out the spirit of the song, she winked at everyone.
“When I’m by your side, acting coy, meow, meow, meow, meow…”
Pff! Pff! Pff! Pff!
All the people who were drinking tea simultaneously spewed it out, all wore bewildered expressions, looking at the Three Clan Elders, all were petrified.
The state teacher of Dajiang Country was faring no better, the force of his spew was a bit light, resulting in a mouthful of tea flowing down to his clothes, immediately wetting a large area. He stared dumbfounded at the Three Clan Elders, a flash of amazement flickered in his eyes, his blurry eyes gradually becoming infatuated.
Xiao Ji stepped back in shock with a ghastly expression, seeing his master behaving like a love-struck old bear, he glared at Yang Zhen with a cold murderous look.
Just then, the state teacher of Dajiang Country’s face suddenly changed, as a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, he fell backward rigidly.
“Master!”
With a shocked expression, Xiao Ji rushed forward.
The expression on Hua Jingshan’s face changed dramatically. Although he didn’t know why the state teacher of Dajiang Country suddenly collapsed vomiting blood, an accident involving the state teacher at the Hua Family held a great responsibility. There was a possibility it could cause a tremendous impact on the Hua Family.
The crowd was thrown into chaos, all gathering around the state teacher of Dajiang Country. Sneakily, Yang Zhen swiped a couple of things from Xiao Ji’s betrothal gifts and slipped away.
“I won’t carry it, I won’t carry this blame, the old man vomiting blood has nothing to do with me!”
