Chapter 446 Shameless Old Taoist
Ao Hongchen's words left Ye Ling somewhat stunned. Damn, had this old guy not grasped the situation?
It was you who gleefully sought to join me, not the other way around where I forced you.
Demands?
What the hell are you preparing to demand, money, women?
"Go on, state your demands. As long as they're not too outrageous, I'll agree to them."
Ye Ling nodded and said, after all, the guy was a Golden Core Stage powerhouse. Although he seemed like an ant in Ye Ling's eyes, he was absolutely a venerable ancestor out there in the world.
He should at least show the proper etiquette. After all, one couldn't let others speak ill of him, right? It's not good to appear stingy.
Ao Hongchen nodded, his expression growing somewhat serious: "The thing is, you know that I cultivate the Dao of Karma, which is rather profound and difficult to cultivate."
"The reason I chose to follow you for a hundred years is first to resolve the karma between you and me, which concerns my own well-being."
"The second point, well, is a bit self-serving. I hope you won't laugh at me when I say it."
Ye Ling nodded. It's quite normal to have personal desires. A Golden Core Stage powerhouse deciding to follow him—if he didn't have any ulterior motives, Ye Ling himself wouldn't believe it.
"I plan to take this opportunity to experience the Mortal Tribulation. You should know, the Mortal Tribulation involves greed, sensual delusions, wealth, and lust."
"Your influence and backing in the secular world are also quite significant, so I hope I could use your help to cultivate through the Mortal Tribulation."
Hearing Ao Hongchen say this, Ye Ling nodded, "Speak your mind on what you want to do. I'll be absolutely obligated to help wherever I can, rest assured of that."
Having said this, Ao Hongchen slightly smiled and nodded: "Since you've said so, I won't be polite. Well, I hope you can provide numerous beauties for me every day. No big deal, tempt me with money and women."
"Let's see if I can resist such thoughts. Oh, and the women, they must have 36F bras, absolutely top-notch bodies, preferably around twenty years of age. Women of that age have the best skin."
"Also, one is definitely not enough. I was wondering if you could find several for me to choose from. Oh yes, courtesans are also fine, I'm not picky." Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire
"As for wealth, just give me about a hundred thousand or eighty thousand a day. I want to see if I can withstand the corruption of money."
"Of course, I won't take that money and do anything that goes against heaven and reason, like sponsoring female students, aiding widows or helping young married women in the middle of the night, that's all permissible."
"Well, gourmet food is also something I need to experience. Perhaps eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes per meal should suffice. My demands aren't high, right? Oh, and be sure to hire a personal chef and dietitian, so I can see just how strong my Mortal Tribulation is."
Ao Hongchen prattled on, utterly oblivious to Ye Ling's face turning completely black with teeth clenched.
You damned scoundrel, is this really a Mortal Tribulation?
You're expecting me to worship you like an ancestor, with 36F women, twenty-somethings, and tens of thousands daily, finding a chef for eight meat and eight vegetarian dishes?
"Uh-huh, your demands aren't high, truly. Logically speaking, your strength is more than enough to deserve all that you're asking for."
Ye Ling coughed, saying this seriously. A Golden Core Stage ancestor like him, no matter where or what power he belonged to, these requests would be satisfied by countless people.
Ao Hongchen nodded. Exactly, what kind of person was he? Even if he chose to submit to another, he deserved nothing but the absolute best treatment.
"Hmm, since that's the case, then I will certainly follow you faithfully for a hundred years. How about this, you should also find someone to clean my room regularly."
"Of course, to temper my Mortal Tribulation, the cleaner must be female, preferably the kind from Island Nation movies who likes to seduce the leading man, in order to train my devotion to Hongchen!"
Ao Hongchen bit his teeth, seemingly in great agony, while Ye Ling beside him took a deep breath and forced a smile, which was very awkward.
"Err, Ao Hongchen, is it?" Ye Ling said, smiling gently.
Ao Hongchen paused, is this guy deaf? Didn't he hear what I just said? My name is Ao Hongchen, didn't I just mention it?
Ye Ling nodded, "Alright then, since that's the case, I haven't got the wrong person. Come here, let me tell you something, something very important. It will definitely be worth your while!"
Ao Hongchen was instantly stunned, followed by immense excitement. Could it be that Ye Ling had a treasure to give to his strongest follower?
Without thinking much, Ao Hongchen leaned forward, his pupils suddenly dilating with an incredulous look and a shock of horror.
Slap, a huge palm like a giant fan, savagely swung towards him.
With a crisp sound of a slap, Ao Hongchen felt the world spinning, his head heavy, stars in his eyes, and he smashed heavily onto the ground.
Mo Xing, sitting under the sun umbrella, immediately widened her eyes, watching a figure crash to the ground like a cannonball.
With a splash, the clean ground was smashed into a big pit, dust flying, and the women swimming in the pool all trembled in fright, looking surprised.
What's this, did a Sister Lin fall from the sky?
Or did a Zhu Bajie drop down?
Struggling out of the dust-filled pit, a figure climbed out, his green robe dirty with mud, his appearance of a sage now utterly disheveled.
"Cough cough, Ye Ling! What did I ever do to you, why are you hitting me!"
Ao Hongchen looked up and roared, Ye Ling's figure fell like thunder, landing beside Ao Hongchen with a dark face, "You ignorant old man!"
"You think you can take advantage of me, Ye Ling? Women, money, and gourmet food? An Island Nation heroine to clean your room?"
"You're thinking way too much, buddy. It seems to me that you didn't come to temper your Mortal Tribulation but to cling to my coattails and enjoy life. Have you gone mad with hunger over the years, turning green with envy at the sight of anyone?"
"Let me tell you straight, you get nothing! If you want to stay, stay; if not, get lost. If you anger me, I'll slap you dead, you dirty old lecher, you're nothing but a pretentious wretch!"
Ye Ling said coldly, Ao Hongchen paused, then took a deep breath and glanced sideways, suddenly noticing several women in the pool who were staring in disbelief, and saliva began to dribble down his chin.
His gaze carried a frightening aggressiveness, and Ao Hongchen couldn't help swallowing, barely restraining himself from pouncing on them.
"Ye Ling! For the sake of your women, I have decided to follow you!"
Ao Hongchen said eagerly, so many Top Grade women, he had never seen such in his whole life. Mortal Tribulation, it must surely be the most formidable beauty tribulation within the Mortal Tribulation!
This must be a trial from the heavens for me, I must resist. Gazing at the fiery bodies in the pool, two streams of nosebleed uncontrollably flowed from Ao Hongchen's nostrils.
Ye Ling, with a grim expression: "You old fool! Dare to look again, and I'll gouge your eyeballs out!"
