Chapter 970: Chapter 970

Liu Zheng pointed to the mark on her forehead and said.

Yaksha pouted and said nothing more.

"Dear Miss Tian Tian, I'm really sorry for dragging you into this and causing you such a severe injury."

He said again to Shi Tiantian.

Shi Tiantian's left and right halves were almost twisted together, looking like some sort of postmodern art piece.

"It's okay, dear human gentleman, I did it voluntarily."

Shi Tiantian said gently.

"Miss Tian Tian, can you treat such injuries?"

"I'm not too sure, it's the first time I've seen such a thing."

Shi Tiantian's tone was a mix of fear and excitement.

"That came from the garbage dump."

"What is a garbage dump?"

"I can't really explain it, but it's extremely dangerous. Even in the entire Metropolis, its level of danger should rank in the top three."

Between Chaos Club and the garbage dump, he didn't know which was more dangerous, so for now, they were tied for second.

What? You ask where the most dangerous place is?

That's of course the Supreme Councilman's office.

"Speaking of which, I haven't had a proper tour of the city yet."

Shi Tiantian rolled her eyes and said.

"Ahaha, Miss Tian Tian is welcome to visit the city, I'll definitely accompany you when I have time."

Liu Zheng heard the implication but did not follow up.

Shi Tiantian certainly had her strengths, but she was far from ready to visit the garbage dump, and he didn't want to bring along a burden.

If she got stuck inside, he'd have to deal with the furious Stone Spirit Clan, just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"Hmph, sneaky human gentleman."

Shi Tiantian rolled her eyes at him and then sank herself into the ground.

"Miss Tian Tian, what are you doing?"

Liu Zheng asked in confusion.

"I'm calling my clansmen, or do you mean to say the dear human gentleman doesn't need my clan's help?"

Shi Tiantian said with a smirk.

"Yes, yes, of course, I need it. Oh my, you see we're all injured or broken, without your help, I really don't know what to do."

"Of course it's true, truer than a gigantic Aken Gemstone."

Liu Zheng said, patting his chest.

"The human gentleman's words are really sweet, sweeter than my nectar." The most update n0vels are published on novel fire.net

Shi Tiantian giggled.

Yaksha whispered to Doctor Nile.

"Flirting with everyone."

"Oh, yes, he's always like that."

Doctor Nile said calmly.

Although sometimes he found the kid's flirtations tiring, he wasn't too bothered by it.

For a capable male, it's quite normal to have many females or even males, back when he was human, he had many concubines too.

As long as Liu Zheng does right by him as a father-in-law, Sasha's position will remain secure.

"But if you think he's just after beauty, you're mistaken. To get along with him, you must rely on how you conduct yourself and handle matters."

Seeing they were both Priests, Doctor Nile advised.

Yaksha nodded, unsure if she understood.

"My clansmen have arrived."

After a while, Shi Tiantian said.

As soon as she finished speaking, two huge mounds of earth ascended from the mountain to the summit.

Two stone essences, each five to six stories tall, burst forth, surrounding everyone.

"Dear human gentleman, these are my two brothers, Shi Zhongjian and Shi Zhongyu."

Shi Tiantian introduced.

The two stone essences were not only the same height but also had identical body shapes, appearances, and skull placements.

The difference was that Shi Zhongjian had an obsidian skull on his chest, while Shi Zhongyu's was a white jade skull.

"Tian Tian, who did this to you? Tell your brother, and I'll punch them into meat pulp to use as fertilizer in the garden right away."

Shi Zhongyu spoke first.

It was clear he was really angry, as his skull blew out a strong gust, sending sand and rocks flying.

"No need, Brother Yu, the dear human gentleman has already avenged me."

Shi Tiantian replied with a smile.

"Hmph, my sister helped you, yet you failed to protect her. Human, I challenge you to a duel."

Shi Zhongyu looked at Liu Zheng and said menacingly.

"No, Brother Yu, the human gentleman has tried very hard. If you continue to cause trouble, I'll complain to Mother."

Shi Tiantian threatened.

"Hmph, well, since my sister said so, I'll let it go this time."

Shi Zhongyu reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you, Brother Zhongyu."

Liu Zheng wiped some cold sweat and said.

Not to mention strength, just Shi Zhongyu's size was already intimidating.

If he got punched, he'd be turned into lamb meatballs in a split second.

Shi Zhongjian didn't say a word but checked Shi Tiantian's body.

"The energy is foreign and makes me uncomfortable."

The stone essences were born from the power of the earth and were responsible for maintaining the environment of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. Naturally inclined towards order, they felt repulsed by the garbage dump's aura.

"Brother Jian, do you have a solution?"

"I'm not sure, I need to take you back first and then study it."

Shi Zhongjian shook his head.

"Why not let your sister return to the city with us? This Doctor Nile has quite a knack for treating such injuries."

Liu Zheng seized the opportunity and said.

"Despicable human, you just want an excuse to take my sister away."

Shi Zhongyu seemed to have issues with him.

"If Brother Zhongyu is worried, you can come with us to the clinic."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"Not only do you want to take my sister away, but now you're trying to take me too?"

Shi Zhongyu said angrily.

Even though he had witnessed many bizarre behaviors of Metropolis residents, Liu Zheng was still speechless at Shi Zhongyu's thought process.

"Alright, Brother Yu, stop causing trouble."

Shi Tiantian hit Shi Zhongyu with a hint of annoyance.

"If the human gentleman had ill intentions, he would have acted while I was unconscious."

"Fine, then I admit I misunderstood this time, but I still don't trust him."

Shi Zhongyu said stubbornly.

"Sorry, dear human gentleman, Brother Yu is just like that, he only trusts our Stone Spirit Clan."

Shi Tiantian apologized.

"It's alright, I completely understand."

Liu Zheng said good-naturedly.

"You go back, I'll accompany my sister into the city."

"No, I want to go too."

"Mother said you have to listen to me, if you don't, I'll beat you up."

Shi Zhongjian said calmly.

"Hmph, Mother always favors you. One day I'll prove I'm the smarter and stronger of the twins."

Shi Zhongyu left discontentedly.

Shi Zhongjian didn't seem to care, and began fashioning a flat-bottomed boat from the surrounding earth and gravel.

"Get in, I'll drag you along."

"Thanks a lot, Brother Jian."

Liu Zheng didn't refuse, directing everyone onto the boat, and also asked Shi Zhongjian to help place the Northern Yin Heaven-Mending Coffin on the boat.

Shi Zhongjian reminded them before setting the stone ship in motion.

Despite its bulky appearance, it moved with lightning speed, giving the feeling of a speedboat in rough waters.

Facing such stone essences, naturally, no one dared to hinder them, and the group quickly passed through the Stone Spirit Clan's exclusive path to the outskirts of the city.

"Brother Jian, won't you be too conspicuous going in ?"

"Then I'll shrink a bit."

Shi Zhongjian reduced its size to that of a one-story building, still quite conspicuous, but not as extravagant as five or six stories.

"Doctor, you take them to the clinic for treatment first, I'll go to the black market to deliver the commission."

Liu Zheng instructed.

Doctor Nile took the group back to the clinic, while Liu Zheng made his way to the black market entrance.

"General Services sir, I've completed the commission."

Liu Zheng called into the alley.

A moment later, a circle of fire appeared at his feet.

After a brief hesitation, Liu Zheng stepped into the circle and vanished without a trace.
