112: Chapter 112 A Real Man Must Be Able to Bend and Resilience

After Chen Jun's matter was settled, it was Huang Youcai's turn to handle the related affairs.

"Youcai, do you have any plans for your future Cultivation?"

Huang Youcai immediately cupped his hands and replied:

"This subordinate doesn't have the grand ambitions of Captain Chen. If I can successfully Foundation Establish, that would naturally be for the best, but if not, it's also normal.

After all, among Outer Sect Disciples, how many can successfully Foundation Establish?

Moreover, my wives, concubines, and children are all in White Cloud City, and I don't plan to return to West Sea City anymore.

As long as City Lord, you don't mind, this subordinate is willing to serve you like a dog and a horse."

Wang Bin was extremely satisfied with Huang Youcai's answer, which was completely within his expectations.

After all, Huang Youcai's wives and concubines were all Mortals, and he also had a child with a Spiritual Root.

How could he, merely a Qi Refining Cultivator, possibly take them back to live in West Sea City?

The cost of living in West Sea City was so high that he might not even be able to find a place to live, at most he could barely reside outside West Sea City.

Once his Foundation Establishment failed, his wives, concubines, and son would lose their source of income, and the consequences were imaginable.

There were so many Mortals outside West Sea City, from all walks of life.

Huang Youcai's wives and concubines were all beauties; without Huang Youcai's protection, the consequences, tsk tsk!

"Alright! Since you are so loyal, this City Lord is not a stingy person.

Work hard from now on, plus you acted as a matchmaker for me before, allowing me to meet Wen Jun, Yuhuan, and the others.

I said last time that I would thank you properly, so now I will reward you with a drop of Spirit Liquid and a piece of Little Enlightenment Tea leaf.

In addition, there are your ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones; of course, these are just normal rewards.

I obtained several Foundation Establishment Pills during my trip to West Sea City, and one of them is prepared for you.

You are currently only at Qi Refining Eighth Layer. You should have accumulated quite a few School contribution points. Go to the Merit Hall yourself and learn a Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

Cultivate the Body Refining Cultivation Technique well, and don't think about anything else.

Also, don't rush to Foundation Establish. When the time is right, I will help you."

Wang Bin took out the items from his Storage Pouch and handed them to Huang Youcai. Huang Youcai immediately put everything away properly.

Suddenly, he knelt on the ground with a "thud" and kowtowed three resounding times to Wang Bin, his expression extremely serious and earnest.

"This subordinate thanks City Lord for his life-saving grace. This subordinate swears to the heavens today to be eternally loyal to City Lord, even if it means sacrificing my life, never leaving or abandoning him.

If I violate this oath, I am willing to suffer the tribulation of five thunderbolts striking my body, my Soul forever falling into the Nine Nether Purgatory, enduring endless torment, my path of immortal Cultivation severed,

my Meridians shattered, my Dao Heart covered in dust, never to have a good end, and implicating my kin, suffering the same heavenly punishment, with generations cursed by bad luck, never to rise again."

Du Xiaoyue, Qin Wenjun, and the other four women were filled with confusion, shock, and horror, staring blankly at Huang Youcai.

They really couldn't understand; wasn't it just a drop of Spirit Liquid and a piece of tea leaf!

It was already too much for you to kneel and kowtow, but you even made such a vicious oath, even involving your family. Would your wives, concubines, and children agree?

How can you have no dignity at all? Didn't they all say that a man's knees are worth gold?

Especially Qin Wenjun, she felt that Huang Youcai was like those eunuchs in her family, completely destroying the tall and mighty image of immortal Cultivators who could ascend to the heavens and descend to the earth, capable of anything, in her heart.

Wang Bin was also startled by Huang Youcai's decisiveness, thinking, "This is truly a talent!"

With his courage, he could thrive anywhere he went, which also raised his standing in Wang Bin's heart significantly.

He could clearly recognize himself and was able to bend and stretch, definitely a talent.

Wang Bin admitted that he couldn't compare to him in this regard. Even if the Chu family promised to protect him until the Golden Core Realm, he never thought of bowing and kneeling to the Chu family.

Wang Bin extended his right hand, wanting to use spiritual power to lift Huang Youcai from a distance, but upon trying, he found that his strength was not enough. Fortunately, Huang Youcai was cooperative and stood up smoothly, truly a good subordinate.

"Alright, Youcai, I accept your loyalty.

Take the remaining one hundred eighty thousand Spirit Stones and distribute them to those who rendered meritorious service that day, ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per person.

Work hard, and I guarantee that in a hundred years, you will be grateful for this decision today."

"This subordinate takes his leave!"

Huang Youcai took the Storage Pouch and bowed to Wang Bin again before retreating.

At this moment, only Wang Bin and his several women remained in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

Wang Bin looked at their faces full of confusion, especially Qin Wenjun and Du Xiaoyue's shocked expressions, and said unhappily:

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"

Qin Wenjun was the first to step forward and say:

"Captain Huang is too spineless! He is already at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, and you only gave him a drop of Spirit Liquid and a piece of tea leaf, yet he actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed,

and to show his loyalty, he even made such a vicious oath. This is too far from the image of an immortal Cultivator in my heart."

"Exactly! It's just a drop of Spirit Liquid!

Junior Martial Uncle even gave me twenty drops, and Enlightenment Tea leaves were also gifts from others to us.

And he only gave him one piece of tea leaf, just one piece! He, a Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator, actually..."

Du Xiaoyue also had a look of disdain, unable to find the words to describe it.

Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun, Li Qianqian, and the other women also nodded in agreement.

Wang Bin looked at these women who hadn't experienced much hardship and were like vases, not knowing how to explain it to them.

Their lives were truly too comfortable; they didn't know the suffering of the world!

"Even if I tell you, you won't understand. Let me put it this way.

One must clearly recognize oneself, whether a Cultivator or a Mortal.

A country has so many people, but there is only one emperor, and everyone else must immediately kneel and kowtow when they see the emperor!

Take Wen Jun, for example. Although you are a princess of Qin.

If an extremely ugly Foundation Establishment Cultivator, smelling foul, passed by your Qin capital, was attracted by your beauty, and insisted on marrying you as a concubine.

You certainly wouldn't agree, but if he went to your imperial father and offered a drop of Spirit Liquid as a betrothal gift, your imperial father would marry you to him.

If he gave more, your imperial father might even give you and your mother to him!

Don't stare at me; Wen Jun knows best whether her imperial father would do this.

While we shouldn't be self-deprecating, we also shouldn't be too arrogant.

Recognizing oneself is very important. Huang Youcai has a very promising future; at least he can clearly recognize his abilities and can bend and stretch.

He had originally given up on Foundation Establishment in this life, but I gave him the opportunity, gave him hope.

Once he successfully Foundation Establishes, he can live another lifetime. What a great kindness that is.

What did he give in return? Nothing more than kowtowing to me. What loss could there be?

Dignity? How many Spirit Stones is dignity worth?

What dignity are you few Qi Refining female Cultivators talking about! From now on, all of you Cultivate well. A man must be able to bend and stretch!

You all must also act with a low profile and Cultivate diligently. Only when your own strength is powerful enough are you qualified to talk about dignity!"

The several women opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing, though some of their cheeks puffed out with anger, clearly unconvinced in their hearts.
