I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

“Mirror of Bewitchment shards?”

Li Zhen’s eyes glimmered and he shook his head lightly, “I do not possess such an item.”

Dongfang Yang stated, “I am aware you don’t have it. It is most likely in the hands of either Qin Zheng or Bai Jingqi. Deliver a message to them; I am willing to negotiate a reasonable price.”

“Furthermore, their respective occupations do not align well with the use of the Mirror of Bewitchment…”

Zheng Cheng interrupted, “Could you explain your reason for wanting the Mirror of Bewitchment shards?”

“You?”

Dongfang Yang’s brow furrowed as he looked towards Li Zhen.

In his perspective, of the three present, Zhu Chengyu is from the military, whereas Li Zhen is from a family of professionists.

During past interactions, Li Zhen has always taken the lead.

So why suddenly, an unfamiliar figure speaks out of the blue?

Li Zhen, however, slightly retreated, revealing Zheng Cheng.

This action clearly communicated that their main representative was now Zheng Cheng!

Dongfang Yang’s pupil slightly contracted as he stated, “The Mirror of Bewitchment is after all a legendary equipment. Although damaged, its power remains.”

“By collecting all the shards of the Mirror of Bewitchment, there exists a chance to restore it.”

“Unfortunately, we only possess about seventeen shards at the current moment. The remaining shards most probably lie in the hands of the Inferior Tribe in the nearby islands.”

Zheng Cheng disagreed, “You are lying. While the Mirror of Bewitchment is valuable, it’s impossible to fix it. Your desire for its shards belies another motive!”

“How would you know?” Dongfang Yang inquired in astonishment, “Who on earth are you?”

Zheng Cheng spread his hands; abruptly, a bright prism shard materialized in his hand.

Its surface dim and dulled, yet sparkling like starlight.

“A shard of the Mirror of Bewitchment! You have it!”

Dongfang Yang questioned, “Who are you exactly, how…”

“Hahahahaha…”

Suddenly, bursts of laughter echoed and three silhouettes approached them.

The leader was a hefty man who must have weighed around 200 pounds.

He was thickset, with an enormous belly, but his eyes were extraordinarily large.

Li Zhen quickly whispered, “This man is none other than Zhou Xinyu, the nine-star professionist known as ‘Vaita Giant’ from Beijing; a member of the illustrious Zhou family. His power is formidable.”

“The woman behind him is Ye Xishui, Princess of the Ye family in Beijing; a nine-star professionist ‘Mermaid Princess’! Rumor has it, she has blood ties with the exquisite different race of mermaids!”

“The third person is Zhao Wufeng, from the same tribe as Captain Yunxiao; a seven-star professionist ‘Spirit Soldier’!”

Li Zhen spoke rapidly; barely finishing his sentence, Zhou Xinyu had ‘waddled’ over.

He truly waddled over.

With one thrust of his rear, he pushed aside Dongfang Yang and Shi Feng, put his arm around Li Zhen, and gave him a few hearty slaps on the back.

“Hahahaha, Li Zhen you naughty lad, it’s been a while since you last visited me in Beijing.”

“Let me tell you, quite a few beautiful ladies have graced ‘Heaven on Earth’…”

“Zhou Xinyu!”

A furious shout from behind suddenly interrupted his hearty laughter. Ye Xishui, with her beautiful blue hair, glared at him and sent a kick his way.

“Hahaha, Xishui don’t overthink things, I was just joking… just joking…”

Zhou Xinyu’s chubby face, facing away from Ye Xishui, was still winking cheekily.

“You are Zhu Chengyu, aren’t you? Not bad.”

Zhu Chengyu nodded and said, “Hello.”

Li Zhen chuckled awkwardly, “Long time no see, Xinyu, Xishui, and Wufeng.”

“Long time no see.”

“Where’s Bai Jingqi? I owe him one from our previous defeat. This time, I must have my redemption.”

Li Zhen shrugged, “He didn’t come. Neither did Qin Zheng. There’s no telling who the Star Locking Array chooses.”

Zhou Xinyu let out a sleazy chuckle and shared, “Isn’t it Elder Xin who decides?”

“Those invited here have either contributed greatly in the slaying of the tribute, or they themselves have personally carried out the act.”

“Another few have demonstrated exceptional strategizing and planning abilities.”

“I wager you are one of them. What I did not foresee is you being the only one here. Neither Qin Zheng nor Bai Jingqi showed up.”

Zhou Xinyu looked at the three of them, “I know Zhu Chengyu, a nine-star dragon knight. I’ve heard my folks at home talking about him a lot.”

“But this brother…”

Li Zhen introduced, “This is Zheng Cheng, during the encirclement and killing of the Blood Guanyin…”

“Zhou Xinyu!”

Dongfang Yang abruptly interrupted their conversation, “I arrived here first, don’t you understand the concept of first in first out?”

Zhou Xinyu only then turned around. He appeared as if he noticed Dongfang Yang for the first time and casually said, “Second Day, what are you doing here?”

“Zhou Xinyu! Nickname me one more time and see if I don’t end you!”

Zhou Xinyu picked his ear, “Oh dear me, I can’t quite hear what you’re saying. I am saying, Second Day, your mind is always running wild. Who cares about this first in, first out concept?”

“You need to conduct your business based on the real value to both parties.”

“Hehehe…”

Li Zhen frowned at him, “Xinyu, what kind of game are you playing with him?”

“What’s the extra value of the Mirror of Bewitchment shards?”

Zhou Xinyu shrugged his shoulders, “Isn’t it just because Elder Xin took in a Half-Inferior Human kin and wanted to gift her something, thus sought after the Mirror of Bewitchment.”

“He’s hoping to barter something else for the Mirror of Bewitchment shards.”

“Whoever has more shards will be able to exchange them for more precious items from Elder Xin.”

“And you know well who Elder Xin is, a pioneer who has been famous for more than 300 years. His treasure house must be overflowing with precious items!”

“Zhou Xinyu!”

Dongfang Yang glared at Zhou Xinyu, “It’s just a rumor, how could you…”

“How? Going to eat me?”

Zhou Xinyu once again picked the other ear and said, “If you dare, then come. Like I said, Second Day, you’ve already exchanged four shards of the Mirror of Bewitchment. Don’t be an ungrateful wretch.”

“You’re asking for death…!”

Both parties glared at each other angrily, with their companions also stepping up to join the confrontation.

Even though Zhao Wufeng, who ranked two stars lower than Shi Feng in his profession, showed no fear.

His sharp gaze constantly flitted between Shi Feng’s neck and chest.

It seemed like he was looking for an opportunity for a lethal blow.

Shi Feng’s expression shifted uneasily, though he persisted in squaring off against his opponent.

The stare-down between the two attracted the attention of all the nearby newcomers, and they gathered around them.

“Holy shit! They’re going to fight! Come here!”

“It’s Dongfang Yang from Binhai City! And there’s also Zhou Xinyu from Beijing!”

“Damn… both of them are descendants of pioneers…”

“I think I heard them mentioning something about the fragments of Bewitching Mirror… Dongfang Yang forcefully swapped my fragments of Bewitching Mirror before!”

“So did mine…”

The crowd around them started chattering, and Dongfang Yang’s face turned even darker.

“What? You want to make a scene?”

Zhou Xinyu, tilting his head slightly with disdain in his eyes said, “Nothing but a son from a trivial lineage, his awakened profession is merely a common nine-star.

“I can kill you and your Dongfang family wouldn’t dare make a peep!”

“You’re asking for it!”

Dongfang Yang was immediately angered by Zhou Xinyu’s words.

A storm gathered behind him, blowing back everyone around him by several steps.

“Hehe…”

Zhou Xinyu sneered again, “Should I call you Dongfang Yang or Xu Yang?”

“Huh….!”

The violent storm suddenly vanished, and Dongfang Yang’s momentum instantly wilted.

He shot a venomous glare at Zhou Xinyu before turning around to leave.

Shi Feng and Tong Botao exchanged glances and quickly followed suit.

“He’s still the same as before, indecisive and timid. Even though he is a nine-star professionist, he is of absolutely no importance!”

Zhou Xinyu sighed, “If he had dared to take a swing at me, I might have respected him a bit. Pity…”

Li Zhen said, “Your mouth being as mischievous as ever, not letting anyone who ‘s right off the hook.”

“Hahaha, it’s been so many years, I’m used to it!”

Zhou Xinyu laughed out loud, then looked at Zheng Cheng again, “Li Zhen, who is this guy? You seem to be defending him and treating him as your leader. Introduce him to me.

Li Zhen glanced at Zheng Cheng, and Zheng Cheng simply smiled, “Chang’an City in Qinzhou Province, Zheng Cheng.”

Zhou Xinyu extended his hand, “Beijing, Zhou Family, Zhou Xinyu. You are not from a Professionist family?”

Zheng Cheng shook his head, “No.”

“Then you…..”

“Let me explain.” Li Zhen interrupted the conversation, “Zheng Cheng, a three-star priest. But don’t underestimate him because of his lower profession rank. His skills are unique and possess an extraordinarily damaging debuff ability.”

“Also his martial arts melee ability, even Qin Zheng and Bai Jingqi wouldn’t dare to claim certain victory over him.”

“Before this, he saved our lives twice. If it wasn’t for him during our siege on Blood Guanyin, completing our mission would’ve been impossible.”

“A three-star priest?”

Zhou Xinyu’s eyes lit up as if he remembered something.

Ye Xishui suddenly said behind him, “I just remembered. Chengdu City indeed had a priest this year with a special ability that seems to cause diarrhea. That wouldn’t happen to be you, would it?”

Zheng Cheng’s lips twitched, “Yes, that’s me.”

“Giggling….”

Ye Xishui covered her mouth and giggled, “You’re the one Mengmeng mentioned. It’s lucky she’s not here, otherwise, she really would have wanted to compete with you.”

Zheng Cheng asked in confusion, “Mengmeng? Who?”

“You’ve met her before.” Ye Xishui chuckled, “Looks like you’ve forgotten about her. Little Mengmeng would be heartbroken if she found out.”

“Met before… Mengmeng?”

Zheng Cheng got lost in thought and quickly remembered something.

“Lu Mengmeng? The little priestess from the Priest Guild?”

After he awakened his profession, he had spent a few days in the Priest Guild of Chang’an City selling his goods in order to improve his Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique.

At that time, he met a little priestess named Lu Mengmeng. Their stands were even next to each other.

She had previously said she would come looking for him, but was then rapidly recruited by the Night Watch in Beijing.

He didn’t know about her current situation.

“No, no, no.”

Ye Xishui shook her head and said, “Mengmeng is not a little priestess. Now, she’s a beloved member of the Beijing Night Watch.”

“She also has a few very special abilities, no less than yours….”

“Huh?”

Zheng Cheng was confused again, “Captain Yunxiao mentioned that the Night Watch in Beijing recruited a new priest with special skills. Could it be her?”

“The newly recruited priest with special skills? It’s her.”

“Isn’t Lu Mengmeng from Chang’an City? How did she get to Beijing?”

“Who said Mengmeng is from Chang’an City?” Ye Xishui looked puzzled, “She’s from Chengdu City, and was just traveling with her parents.”

“After awakening her profession, she was appreciated by an elder from the Priest Guild, then invited to join the Night Watch in Beijing.”

“In terms of age, she’s even one year older than you, so you should call her sister.”

“Sister?”

Zheng Cheng’s face was odd. Remembering the appearance of Lu Mengmeng, the busty mixed-race lolita, he shuddered instinctively.

“Buzz… ”

Just then, a buzzing sound transmitted abruptly.

Three figures gradually appeared on the high platform.

“They’re here!” Zhou Xinyu said in a low voice, “Silence!”
