Celestial Peak Chapter 438

Wang Ling's methods were quick, short, and effective. The Tomb Raid had only started for no more than three hours, but Wang Ling had already managed to seize treasures that would suffice in helping him break through the Fourth Rank of cultivation multiple times over.
He had also gravely injured more than a few dozen youths, breaking the bones of several more, and incurred the wrath of enough young people to create a tide of angry mob… like the ones that were currently on the move wanting to tear Wang Ling limb from limb.
"Get back here you bastard! That Hell Fire Sword is mine! You dare steal what I had already gotten my hands on!? You'll fucking pay for that!" shouted a burly young man.
"You piece of shit, that Pill was mine for the taking and you attack me from behind like a coward! I will break you apart when I get my hands on you!" This time, it was a lanky youth.
"You son of a bitch I—" a beautiful young woman wanted to curse him out as well, but Wang Ling's figure suddenly stopped, turned around, and then idiotically jumped into the fray of the tide.
"Angel." Wang Ling called out as he brought out a beating heart.
"I am on it." Angel responded to Wang Ling's call, she circulated the energy and while it had yet to activate, Wang Ling already appeared before the woman who cursed him last.
"This is your fault." He said with little deviation in expression before twisting his body and kicking her on the temple with little intention of keeping the damage to a minimum. The woman's face darkened, she tried to speak but it was already all too late.
BAM! Because it was too sudden, she could only circulate her qi and block the impact, but it was enough to knock her head down on the ground. She growled in pain, but in that tide, no one would help her for their own intentions did not align helping a rival.

If Wang Ling's assault was a tragedy for the woman, then it was a golden opportunity for the others. They actually celebrated her sacrifice. The one they could not catch came back for them to kill! Their smiles became brighter, but, Wang Ling just sighed…
Dudun!
A very loud heartbeat echoed that derailed their qi and was followed by a weakened heatwave. All was blown away, and those who powered through were only kicked in the stomach by the unimpressed Wang Ling.
[Am I really entrusting the future to people like this?] Wang Ling was thinking if sparing all of them were actually worth the trouble. He could only sigh in dissatisfaction and anxiety.
"You are really ruthless. Your methods are effective and you keep them alive to let them know of their uselessness." A voice echoed from Wang Ling's right.
"He's also very thorough. He came back to them while they are running after them and then activated the Scorching Wave Heart of the Volcanic Liger. But I say, why did he waste such a valuable resource when he's fully capable of killing them? Do you have an idea, Qing?" another from Wang Ling's left appeared.
Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming looked at Wang Ling from each side asking him at the same time, "Why didn't you kill them when you could've done it so easily?"
Their question came out at the same time, their tone did not hold any contempt, simply confusion. Wang Ling felt compelled to answer them, "Killing them will only gain me a lot more enemy outside."
"Killing them here will result in no one knowing you attack them. Step out of this Tomb and they'll tell their Elders and Masters what you did. Quite frankly what you are doing is utterly stupid." Yuan Qin, the one on the right stated.

Wang Ling pointed at his mask, "Why do you think I am wearing a Mask?"
"Because you are a member of the Sword Tower? That style is of the Sword Tower, correct? Seeing that you are wearing a red mask without a single horn means that you are either from the lowest floor or the Associate of the Third Sword. What are you?" Yuan Ming answered.
"…the first."
"You are lying." Both said in a chorus.
"Then neither." Wang Ling said before walking away.
The twins looked at each other, confused, they didn't think he'd answer so honestly this quickly. They didn't smile but their eyes glowed ever so brightly, "You are a fascinating specimen, do you wish to help us in understanding your mind?
"We would like to study your mind as to what made you answer strangers so quickly and without thinking about the consequences of your—"
"Because I do not fear the consequences enough to lie about this matter. You two are also rather nosy so I reckoned you wouldn't leave me be if I don't at least tell you the truth of such a simple fact." Wang Ling once again did not lie.
'Angel, lead me to the next treasure… no, make it a place with a suitable environment.'
'Why are you whispering?' Angel asked while looking for what Wang Ling asked of her.
'Nothing, really.'
"You are lying… why are you lying despite not talking to anyone?" Yuan Ming, the one standing to his left looked at him with questioning eyes.
"Can't say and don't want to say it. I was not talking to either of you. Wait you two, aren't you supposed to be guarding someone? I don't even know the two of you so why are you here with me?" Wang Ling was genuinely confused about their randomness.
Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming looked at each other and as though had come to a realization about something, "I am Yuan Ming!"
"I am Yuan Qing."
"It is nice to meet you." Both introduced themselves.
"…why are you doing this?" Wang Ling asked, confused.
"Are you not irritated by us because you did not know of our identities?"
"…no."
Wang Ling's honest answer shocked the twins, and then the two of them came to the same realization about the situation. The two gave Wang Ling a pair of judging eyes then just said, "…how perverted… but, if it will get you to let you let us study you then we would be willing."
Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming with "bashful" expressions as they turned away while slowly raising the corners of their robes showing off their pristine legs with both of them showing him seductive looks.
"I am not the least bit interested." He was once again honest.
The twins retreated and went to have their own meeting, "…are you thinking what I am thinking?" Yuan Qing wanted to confirm something with Yuan Ming.
"That is the only explanation." Yuan Ming nodded.
"Are you interested in Men?"
"No, I just don't have any interest in the two of you."
"…I feel like something inside me broke." Yuan Qing said.
"Me as well." Yuan Ming agreed.
"That's pride." Wang Ling confirmed.

What to expect here: World-building (at least I will try to do my best to flesh out the magic system, the multiverse, the ancient civilizations etc. I don't really know about politics though), Many character backstories, amateur writing, yuri, OP protagonist, ruthless/borderline evil protagonist. What not to expect: Harem, RPG system, regular releases. I'll try to finish the story to the end but can't really promise anything. Chapters will be released when I have the time to write them which I don't have much of.
