Dragon's Origin

Chapter 123: New Clues (Part 1)

When Wang Sheng was barely able to control his power and finally dared to touch his head, he realized what the shadow eunuch and Han Bingli were laughing at when they saw him that night.

At first, Wang Sheng thought they were laughing at his clumsy performance due to his inability to control his power, but now he understood that they were laughing at him for being completely naked and without a single hair on his body.

Actually, Wang Sheng was making a bit of a fuss. Since he could unleash such great power, his bones would naturally be able to withstand his power. It was a simple truth, but it made Wang Sheng nervous for at least half a day.

However, Wang Sheng couldn't be entirely blamed. The enormous power brought to Wang Sheng after the Bixi Transformation, the terrifying display of being able to crush a solid chair with just a slight twist, made it prudent to be cautious.

Before noon, those who wanted to know about Wang Sheng's recent situation already knew that Wang Sheng had taken the Good Fortune Pill and advanced two levels, entering the Second Realm. Moreover, the method of taking the Good Fortune Pill was so simple that people stamped their feet and regretted missing the opportunity when they were young.

Those who had ideas about the Good Fortune Pill had already given up and didn't plan to scheme against Wang Sheng anymore. However, when there is no road, there is always another. If they wanted the Good Fortune Pill, there was still a chance.

Wang Sheng had exchanged for the Good Fortune Pill from someone else. The whereabouts of those two people had been targeted by experts from several forces and they couldn't shake them off for the time being. If they wanted the Good Fortune Pill, it would be more realistic to get it from those two.

Of course, everyone was still curious about Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng exchanged a map he got from the Thousand Despair Land for two Good Fortune Pills. Who knew what else Wang Sheng had obtained in the Thousand Despair Land? After all, countless experts had died in the Thousand Despair Land over the past hundreds of years.

Regardless of what others were thinking, Wang Sheng had no other thoughts at the moment. The only thing was to eat his fill and adapt to his power as quickly as possible.

He didn't know how much energy and matter the Bixi Transformation had consumed from Wang Sheng's body. Wang Sheng's appetite had been frightening these past few days. Each meal was on average at least five times the amount before his realm increased, and this was still the result of Wang Sheng's own control.

"It's normal. What's the big deal about an increased appetite after a realm increase?" The shadow eunuch responded dismissively to Wang Sheng's question while freeloading on Wang Sheng's food.

"Yes! This old man also had a period back then where he almost ate his family into poverty," Han Bingli echoed, burying his head and enjoying the delicious food without even looking up.

Wang Sheng still had his own table, also feasting. Yu Baozhai had sent over a large iron table and iron chairs, thick, heavy, and solid. Even if Wang Sheng occasionally couldn't control his power, it would at most deform, but not fall apart, which was very suitable for Wang Sheng's current state.

Listening to the words of the two old experts, Wang Sheng was relieved. Suddenly, he became curious and asked, "You two, what did you do back then that made you enter Worry-Free City?"

Han Bingli and the shadow eunuch were stunned, seemingly not expecting Wang Sheng to ask this. After a pause, the shadow eunuch directly replied nonchalantly, "This old man served the Emperor back then and accidentally angered a concubine. Unable to bear it, I directly killed her, and then I entered Worry-Free City."

The old eunuch said it lightly, but Wang Sheng was directly dumbfounded. Killed a concubine? That's too exaggerated! Although Wang Sheng knew that this was likely a method specially arranged by the royal family, the price of sacrificing a concubine for it was really speechless.

In addition, the royal family's move indirectly enhanced the prestige of Worry-Free City. Even people who killed concubines could be safe and sound after escaping into Worry-Free City. It would be strange if Worry-Free City didn't become famous.

"My side isn't as exaggerated as yours," Han Bingli was also somewhat surprised to hear the old eunuch's story of entering Worry-Free City for the first time, but when it came to himself, he downplayed it a bit: "I had some disagreements with a branch of the Gan family, one of the five great families. They bullied people too much, so I simply wiped out that branch and entered Worry-Free City."

This was even more fierce. The Gan family, one of the five great families, even a collateral branch, was a force to be reckoned with. To wipe out an entire branch with a single word was really extraordinary. You must know that Han Bingli was talking about a branch, not a collateral branch.

Wang Sheng could only give a thumbs up to the two old experts, expressing his silent admiration.

Wang Sheng spent a full two days adapting to his new power before he could barely act normally with the help of the combat consciousness little man. But it only looked decent. He would reveal his true form if he wasn't careful.

Wang Sheng himself didn't know how many times stronger his power had become. The preliminary estimate was no less than a hundred times. And this change happened in just over a day. It would be strange if he could adapt normally.

This also led everyone, including Han Bingli and the shadow eunuch, who were almost always near Wang Sheng, to not think that Wang Sheng's power was so great, only thinking that he was not adapting to his new strength.

When Wang Sheng's actions looked a bit decent, Miss Ling'er from Yu Baozhai came to the door in a huff. The main purpose of Ling'er's visit was very simple, to pay the reward for the chili pepper information Wang Sheng provided to Yu Baozhai last time.

Wang Sheng reminded them to prepare and plant chili peppers in advance, and he also kept his promise, only eating a few meals of chili peppers here. Except for giving a few pounds to the City Lord's Mansion, he never spread it outside.

The reward that Yu Baozhai had to pay was the information about the Thousand Despair Land that they could collect for Wang Sheng. But now Wang Sheng himself was not able to move freely, so it was a very suitable solution for Miss Ling'er to come to the door to explain to Wang Sheng. When it comes to being knowledgeable and having a good memory, who is better than Miss Ling'er?

But for Miss Ling'er, this was a very unwilling thing, so from the moment she entered Wang Sheng's house, she never gave Wang Sheng a good look.

Of course, Wang Sheng would not argue with a little girl. Guests are guests, especially those who come to deliver information to him, so of course he has to take good care of them. Otherwise, if the little girl accidentally forgets or misses a key sentence, Wang Sheng will have nowhere to cry.

The chefs who were recently being guided by Wang Sheng took out 120% of their energy under Wang Sheng's request and worked hard to make a table full of delicious dishes. Among them, half were the ones Wang Sheng had guided them to make before and improved these days, and half were the ones with Wang Sheng's carefully prepared chili peppers.

Miss Ling'er ate a meal with a smile on her face. You must know that this group of chefs has been constantly required by Wang Sheng to be perfectionists, and they practice their specialties crazily every day. Because the dishes are old dishes, they have not been changed much for more than a month.

Where had Ling'er ever eaten such delicacies that had been carefully selected by Wang Sheng's current tongue? After a meal, Ling'er's dissatisfaction disappeared by more than half.
