“Trading treasures?” The huge face on the massive door stared at the tiny Shang Yan Fei with exaggerated winks and sneered. “Little Fei Fei, you aren't trying to take advantage of me again, are you? Although we are old acquaintances, as the gate of the Treasure Realm, I won't help you steal from your own vault. Even though our friendship is very deep…”
“How many times do I have to tell you? Can you change the nickname?” Shang Yan Fei's forehead broke out in black lines.
“What should I call you? Yan? Fei? Zi?”
Shang Yan Fei quickly waved his hand and said helplessly, “Fine, fine, call me whatever you want. Let's get down to business. I really came here to trade for a treasure this time.”
“Oh…” The big face dragged out the syllable, sounding a little dejected. “Getting down to business so quickly. I rarely get to talk to you. It's so boring I could die.”
Shang Yan Fei sighed. “I'm very busy, Living Treasure Gate. You know, I'm already the clan head of the Shang clan. Things are not like they used to be.”
“Alas, forget it. Every Shang clan head is like this. I was hoping Little Fei Fei would be different from them. Actually, I don't have much of a request. I just want to have a chat. The long night is so lonely, it's hard to bear…” Living Treasure Gate sighed mournfully.
“You're a gate! How can you suffer from loneliness? Why don't you just go to sleep?” Shang Yan Fei had black lines all over his face.
“Go to sleep? But I can't sleep alone! You don't know how hard it is being by myself…” Living Treasure Gate started muttering.
“I didn't come here to listen to your complaints. Let's get down to business, let's get down to business.” Shang Yan Fei coughed a few times.
“Oh, then let's get down to business.” Living Treasure Gate's expression turned serious. “If you want to trade treasures, it's fine. But I have a condition…”
It dragged out its words.
Shang Yan Fei's heart immediately filled with a bad premonition.
He raised an eyebrow slightly. “What condition? Don't tell me it's…”
“Ah, from Little Fei Fei's expression, you already guessed it! That's right, that's right, pick my nose, pick my nose for me!” Living Treasure Gate shouted excitedly.
Pick the nose…
Nose…
Nose…
The loud voice echoed back and forth through the corridor.
Veins bulged on Shang Yan Fei's forehead. “Bastard! Are you playing this trick again?”
“My nose is so itchy, so itchy. I can't even breathe properly. I don't have hands. I can't freely pick my own nose like you humans can. It's really pitiful. Ah… Little Fei Fei, my good friend, can't you do a good deed? Help me pick my nose. As a reward, I will give you my precious boogers.” Living Treasure Gate sang out in a tone like reciting poetry.
“Hey, that's enough!” Shang Yan Fei clenched his fists and finally roared, unable to take it anymore.
Living Treasure Gate hummed lightly, a truly detestable look of 'what can you do about it' on its face.
Then it started to chant continuously…
“Pick the nose!”
“Pick the nose!”
“Pick the nose!”
“If you don't pick the nose, no treasure for you. Pick the nose, and be a good boy…”
The voice vibrated in the air, booming through the solemn corridor.
Shang Yan Fei lowered his head and held his forehead. The sound of 'pick the nose' echoed continuously in his ears.
“Alright, alright. Stop chanting. I'll pick it for you, is that okay?” Shang Yan Fei roared, his heart full of helplessness.
Even if he was a mighty Rank Five Gu Master and the master of the Shang clan, he was completely helpless against Living Treasure Gate.
After all, the Treasure Realm was left behind by the Shang clan's ancestors. It was the handiwork of a Gu Immortal above Rank Five!
“Woohoo —!” Living Treasure Gate let out a victory cheer and then shouted impatiently, “Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait any longer.”
Shang Yan Fei's expression was stiff, his eyes twitching constantly, but in the end, he stretched out his right hand.
On the palm of his right hand was a small palm print, a vibrant, dripping red.
At this moment, he activated his true essence, and the blood seal burst out, transforming into a huge bright red palm.
Rank Five — Blood Handprint Gu!
Any creature struck by this Gu, be it a bird, beast, insect, or fish, as long as it had blood and qi flowing, would turn into a pool of bloody pus. Its power was truly strange and sinister. It was with this that Shang Yan Fei dominated the Southern Border and established his formidable reputation.
But now, he was using the Blood Handprint Gu to satisfy the strange whim of Living Treasure Gate —
Picking its nose.
The huge crimson hand formed a fist, then straightened its index finger, the tip of which probed into the giant nostril of Living Treasure Gate.
Living Treasure Gate hummed in comfort: “Good, just like that!”
“Oh… so comfortable…”
