He showed an excited expression and laughed, "Chen Tang is my younger brother. I haven’t seen him for a few years, and he always looks like he needs a beating. He was particularly jealous when we were kids, always trying to outdo himself in front of our dad, but I was always better. He would get so jealous that it nearly killed him! He even tried to do bad things and frame me, but I exposed him and dad hung him up and beat him."
He reminisced about the past, growing even more excited, "Those were always the most pleasurable times for me. It’s not fun anymore after he grew up, too cunning, and I rarely get to irritate him. However, I can teach you how to defeat him."
Chen Shi said, "Uncle, I’ve hurt my Primordial Qi, I’m afraid I can’t train well..."
Creation Little Five laughed, "A wee bit of Primordial Qi can easily be replenished."
He took Chen Shi to Chang’an Street’s Tingyu Tower, where a corpulent middle-aged man faced them and said, "Chen Wu, it’s time to pay your rent."
"Can it be postponed for a few days?"
Creation Little Five pleaded, "I’ve been a bit tight on money recently."
The middle-aged man stood firm with his belly protruded, unhappily responding, "Postpone today, postpone tomorrow, how many times can I postpone for you? If you have silver, you stay; no silver, pack your things and roll back to the countryside!"
Creation Little Five’s face darkened, and he licked his lips, Chen Shi asked, "How much?"
"This month, three taels of silver," said the middle-aged man.
Chen Shi took out three taels of loose silver and paid the rent. The middle-aged man took the money, then stopped another person, and shouted, "Min Ting, you bastard, it’s time to pay the rent! No money? If you’re broke, go sell your ass!"
Creation Little Five took Chen Shi upstairs, coldly saying, "If I really didn’t owe him rent, I’d make sure he died a gruesome death!"
Chen Shi asked, "Is this landlord a senior of the Mahayana Realm?"
Creation Little Five shook his head.
"Could he be from the Tribulation Crossing Realm?"
Creation Little Five shook his head again and said, "He’s just an ordinary person who achieved Divinity Transformation, let’s not bother with him."
Chen Shi thought to himself, "Ordinary person at the Divinity Transformation Realm?"
The two arrived upstairs and entered the room rented by Creation Little Five, which wasn’t large, just one room with a wardrobe hanging a few sets of clean clothes and several pairs of shoes, equally clean. Besides that, there were just the four treasures of the study, nothing more.
"Uncle, come live with me."
Chen Shi suggested, "There’s still a room available at Chen Tang’s place."
"I won’t go, I can’t live together with him."
Creation Little Five pulled out a stool and said, "Besides, I have money, a lot of money, just no way to cash it out."
He hesitated a moment, then asked, "Do you know how to launder money?"
Chen Shi was puzzled.
Creation Little Five explained, "Since coming to the Western Capital, I’ve killed a few people and collected some valuables, but I’m struggling without a channel to launder them, so I’ve had to put up with staying here."
He could handle most of the world’s difficulties, even resolving issues involving powerful ancestors from prominent families, but the one thing he couldn’t handle was interpersonal relationships. A thick corpse cloud hung over the Western Capital, formed by the corpses of the city’s elite, laden with valuables, but Creation Little Five had no way to deal with them.
Chen Shi hesitated and said, "I do have a channel for laundering. Heavenly Court has an account department that expanded its business to Western Capital. If you need money urgently, I can take you to meet him."
Creation Little Five’s eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Not in a rush. Let’s first replenish your Primordial Qi, and oh, tell Doggie that you won’t be sleeping at Chen Tang’s place tonight. I’ll take you to a great place!"
Chen Shi asked, "What great place?"
"I’ve crafted Little All Heavens using the Void Great Realm of two old ancestors from the Li Family!"
