Emperor’s Domination

like this, if I lose, Ill eat the mud down there, if you lose, then go roll around in them, thats not bad.”

The two glanced at each other and contemplated. Everyone else felt that this bet was very reasonable; Li Qiye didnt make it hard on them at all.

“Thats doable.” A youth agreed.

“Yes or no? If you dont dare, then run back to your home, stop being an eyesore here.” Li Qiye waved his sleeve as if he was swatting away a fly.

“Very well, if I lose, I will roll around in the mud!” The arrogant guy wasnt a sore loser. He wanted to try and would accept defeat gracefully.

“How courageous. What about you?” Li Qiye clapped before looking over at Zhang Yan.

This guy was hesitant since he didnt want to join in this bet in the first place. He also saw how confident Li Qiye was so he wanted to retreat.

“Its just rolling down there, Brother Zhang, lets go.” Qingniu egged him on.

Rolling in the mud wasnt a real loss to Zhang Yan, but it was indeed a blow to his dignity and honor. He was the successor of Hundred-pills; losing this bet would leave a stain on his reputation.

Most importantly, rolling around in front of the beauties? How could he ever lift his head again?

“Ill… do it.” He gritted his teeth and let caution to the wind. Giving up was also humiliating so he might as well go all out. Perhaps there was a chance of victory.

“Well start now.” Li Qiye chuckled.

All eyes were on the muddy beach now and the strange pits dug by Li Qiye.

Everyone thought that he would come down again for a second attempt, but he simply took out a golden gourd.

“Whoosh!” When he opened it, a tiny current of light flew out, resembling the reflection of a star in the ocean.

It split and went into the different pits. Next, the mud suddenly rose like a steamed bun being cooked, bigger and bigger.No one had a clue about what he was doing.

“Pop!” After reaching a certain size, the mounds of mud suddenly exploded and went flying.

The young cultivators quickly dodged the slinging piles of mud. It was like the explosion of beehives, Numerous little creatures came out and filled the sky like a locust swarm.

“What are they?” The crowd was shocked and looked over.

These tiny insects looked like louse but were completely green. When they stopped on the water surface, they looked like tiny lamps.

“Theyre Wood-eater Lice.” One youth recognized them: “They love nibbling on yin wood, especially the ones from Alchemy Hut. My master says that if we see them, no Alchemy Wood will be around since it would have already been eaten by them.”

“Right, thats the type.” Qingniu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled: “Perhaps there were a lot of branches here, but not anymore.”

He looked over at Li Qiye. Everyone knew that there wouldnt be a single piece of wood left here, let alone the best kind, Alchemy Wood. Anything here would have been eaten long ago since these lice can detect them much faster than cultivators.

This muddy beach was clearly their nest, so how could there be any Alchemy Wood here?

Zhang Yan felt the same way, feeling that victory was certain. Nevertheless, he came closer for a look and found that there was nothing else inside the exploded pits and mud mounds.
