1517 Death Wish (1/2)
”We're already in human form. What other flaws could there be?”
The Demonic Beast Kings furrowed their brows, unbeknownst as to what could be wrong.
Not only had their bodies changed into perfectly sculpted humans, even the language they spoke were discernably human. What did Chen Xiaobei mean by a huge flaw?
”Oh god... have you guys no shame? Put these on!” Chen Xiaobei took out three sets of Spiritual Instrument grade armors. ”There's not a single strand of thread on all of you! If you walk around with me like that, people might think that I'm a sick pervert!”
”Oh…” The Demonic Beast Kings felt a trickle of sweat run down their foreheads, and looked at themselves bashfully for they had just transformed into humans and were undoubtedly, completely naked.
Having three naked men by his side would be a painful sight to the eyes.
So, the Demonic Beast Kings put on the armor that Chen Xiaobei gave them to so that there would not be any 'flaws', and to ensure no eyes would be burnt.
The armor was from the Overgrown Forest' treasury. Chen Xiaobei had given them out to his people in Bei Xuan, and, luckily, had some leftovers.
”Now that everything is ready, we just need to wait for our enemies to take the bait!” Chen Xiaobei knelt on the ground. ”I will cultivate first. You guys keep watch!”
”Are you serious?” The Tyrant Dragon King looked perplexed. ”Master, there's not much time left. The enemies could come at any time! What's the point of cultivating in such short time?”
They said this because cultivating would normally take a long period of time – as short as a few months to as long as years, and even a few hundred years was not unheard of!
Word of Chen Xiaobei's invitation for a fight to Lu Gang had already been disseminated around. On top of that, Chen Xiaobei had already spent almost a day to get to this place – the enemy really could be here at any time.
The amount of time left for Chen Xiaobei to cultivate was very short.
The Beast Kings could not understand why Chen Xiaobei would want to use this slim window of time to cultivate. Not only would it be a waste of effort and time, but it might even severely disrupt their plans.
”It's going to be very effective, I guarantee!” Chen Xiaobei grinned, and took out the 3,000 year-old Saturn Peach that he received from Shen Gongpao!
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Chen Xiaobei picked up the fruit and began chomping down. It was crisp, fragrant and sweet. Absolutely sumptious and balsamic.
”Master, aren't you going to cultivate? Now why would you eat a peach?” The Tyrant Dragon King licked his lips hungrily as he watched Chen Xiaobei gobble down on the juicy fruit.
”If I don't eat, where am I going to find the energy to boost my cultivation huh?”
Chen Xiaobei glanced up at him and then went back to quickly finishing the peach in just a few bites. Beasts remained beasts no matter their form, and they came as hungry as they were.
Ding!

”My lifespan has increased by 3,000 years! Nothing greater than this!”
Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up bright. He then scrambled to retrieve the Sunlight Cache that he had not used for some time now, and of course, the Green Jade Cauldron.
Kneeling next to the cauldron, Chen Xiaobei began to burn his lifespan to activate the Daylight Cache.
Voom!
Bright dazzling light burst out from the cache and lit up a three meter radius of the area around it, engulfing Chen Xiaobei and the Green Jade Cauldron in a yellowish hue.
The Sunlight Cache's Special Ability was to speed up time. Time within the lit area would accelerate so that one minute outside the lit area was equivalent to one day inside the light!
