Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 496: More than Money?

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: More than Money?

As for women:

Perhaps because the heavens endowed men with advantages exceeding those of women, they compensated women in other ways.

Women, if they pay attention to their usual maintenance, can to some extent delay their aging...

Just like Wyatt Barnes’ mother, ’Christina Lee’, although she is in her early forties, she looks like she is less than thirty.

This is the natural advantage women possess.

"With enough cultivation, once you step into the ’Peep Naught Realm’, it may not reverse aging altogether, but with some effort, you can control aging to a certain degree with Origin Force... Moreover, those martial artists who are in or above the Peep Naught Realm can still look middle-aged even after a hundred years."

Wyatt Barnes felt a stirring in his heart, as the memories of the reincarnated Martial Emperor were constantly coursing through his mind.

"As long as you have the patience to constantly use Origin Force to rejuvenate the body, the higher your cultivation level, the better you can delay aging ... When the reincarnated Martial Emperor in his first life stepped into the ’Martial Emperor Realm’, he was already 120 years old. Yet, he looked like a man in his fifties."

Through the memories of the reincarnated Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes learned about his appearance before reincarnation.

"Regarding the reincarnated Martial Emperor’s second life...before he was reincarnated, he was 113 years old and looked like a man in his thirties!"

A surge of emotions overtook Wyatt Barnes.

Being 113 years old but appearing to be in your thirties, what did that mean?

Of course, Wyatt Barnes also knew why the reincarnated Martial Emperor appeared so young during his second life.

In his second life, the reincarnated Martial Emperor broke through to the ’Peep Naught Realm’ at the age of twenty-five.

From that moment on, the reincarnated Martial Emperor intended to use Origin Force to delay his own aging.

Later on, the reincarnated Martial Emperor discovered the treasure left behind from his first life and advanced rapidly through the ’Enter Void Realm’, ’Cave Void Realm’ and even the ’Transforming Void Realm’.

Afterwards, with the experiences from his first life, the reincarnated Martial Emperor achieved the rank of ’Martial Emperor’ at the age of fifty.

At the age of sixty, he successfully became a ’Martial Emperor’!

The accomplishments of the reincarnated Martial Emperor in his second life, especially the time it took for him to become a ’Martial Emperor’, were unprecedented in the history of the Cloud Skies Continent.

At the very least, in the history of the Cloud Skies Continent, there hasn’t been such a young Martial Emperor.

"Once a ’Martial Emperor’ is achieved, although they cannot reverse aging, they can maintain their youthfulness... If the Reincarnated Martial Emperor had accomplished the Martial Emperor rank ten years earlier, perhaps he would have kept his appearance of twenty-six or twenty-seven years old."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"Martial artists above the ’Peep Naught Realm’ can’t be judged by their appearances... even if they don’t purposefully use Origin Force to delay their aging, their strong Origin Force can subtly slow down their aging. They age much slower compared to a normal martial artist."

Shaking his head, Wyatt Barnes cleared his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Wyatt Barnes moved ahead, ignoring the surprised looks from those around him, and walked towards Green Forest’s Imperial City.

The Imperial City of Green Forest was boundlessly vast and grand, looking like a prostrating giant beast.

The wide open gates resembled the gaping mouth of the beast, constantly swallowing an influx of people into its depths.

On both sides of the entrance, there were rows of armored soldiers standing straight without any facial expressions, coldly gazing into the distance.

Wyatt Barnes entered the city steadily while Little Gold on his shoulder looked around with interest.

The adorable Little Gold attracted a lot of attention.

Mostly from women and children.

"Mom, look at the cute little golden mouse..."

A childish voice came from next to him, innocent and lively.

Wyatt Barnes glanced sideways to see a common woman carrying a small boy drawing near.

"Young Master, children don’t know how to watch their words, please forgive us," the woman hastily covered the boy’s mouth and apologized to Wyatt Barnes in fear.

"It’s fine."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled.

He naturally understood why the woman reacted this way.

His robes were not made from ordinary material but from expensive special silk... obviously, the woman discerned his extraordinary identity from his attire.

However, what Wyatt Barnes didn’t know was that it wasn’t just his clothes that made the woman perceive him as extraordinary. His unintentionally revealed demeanor, coupled with his clothing, gave the woman the impression that he was a noble presence that should not be offended.

"Such is the world, with the hierarchy so clearly defined... in front of these ordinary people, I am unique and superior. But in front of me now, those martial artists of the Enter Void Realm and higher, are also superior."

The woman’s reactions led Wyatt to some thoughts.

He knew that only if he reached the peak, becoming a man among men, would such feelings disappear.

Otherwise, there would always be someone who will stand higher, able to look down upon him.

Consequently, Wyatt Barnes’ will to become stronger became more resolute.

"Squeak~~"

Little Gold suddenly squeaked, and at the same time, a voice of Origin Force condensed and transmitted into Wyatt Barnes’ ears, "Brother Wyatt, I’m hungry... I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"

Wyatt Barnes looked down at Little Gold and said, "You little fellow, you really are a glutton!"

Despite saying this, he still found an extravagant restaurant.

The restaurant was incredibly luxurious and incomparable to small taverns.

It was nearing mealtime, and the restaurant was just starting to fill up with customers.

Wyatt Barnes occupied two tables all by himself.

"Guest, do you need anything?"

The waiter greeted Wyatt Barnes enthusiastically.

"Fill that table with all kinds of delicious roasted meats... as for this table, just bring any of your signature dishes, and a pot of wine will do."

Wyatt Barnes sat down at a seat by the window and motioned at the empty table, speaking to the waiter.

"Yes, guest."

The waiter left with a smile.

He felt most elated serving such straightforward customers.

As for Wyatt Barnes occupying two tables and only ordering roasted meat for the vacant one, He didn’t find it odd.

He merely assumed that this customer’s companions hadn’t arrived yet, and these companions had a penchant for meat...

Not until the food and drink arrived, and he saw the little gold mouse on Wyatt Barnes’s shoulder fly out and start devouring the roast meat on the single table alone, did the waiter become completely startled.

As a waiter in the Imperial City, he considered himself to be worldly-wise.

But he never saw someone extravagant as him, who ordered a table filled with roasted meat for their pet mouse.

"The world of the rich is really something incomprehensible to us... Even the young masters and misses from the major families in the Imperial City, I’ve met quite a few, but none of them were ever this extravagant!"

The waiter couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

At this time, the table where the little gold mouse was eating unsurprisingly attracted attention.

"Extravagant! Too extravagant!"

"This is the ’Fragrant Pavilion’, a table of roasted meat here costs at least a hundred silvers... One hundred silvers for a pet mouse’s meal? Such a squanderer, he’s squandering too much!"

"I wonder whose young master he is. He squanders so much; that’s not how money should be spent!"

...

For a while, a group of customers in the restaurant were whispering.

"Haha... Little Gold, it seems that they all think you are just a pet mouse, huh?"

Hearing these hushed whispers, Wyatt Barnes took it lightly and used his Origin Force to tease Little Gold.

"Squeak, Squeak~~"

Little Gold squeaked displeasingly a few times but didn’t bother with others and kept burying its head to eat.

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and laughed.

He thought, if these people, who are mocking him for being wasteful, knew that this little gold mouse had helped him earn more than one billion gold coins, what would their faces look like?

Almost a year ago, in Blackwind City, it was by using the deterrent power of Little Gold that he forcefully swindled a huge sum of money from the Marston Family and Yellow Family.

That large sum amounted to over 100 million gold coins!

"One table worth one hundred silvers?"

Wyatt Barnes didn’t care.

A hundred silver pieces equate to one gold coin.

Compared to the over 100 million gold coins Little Gold had earned for him, this sum was just an insignificant fraction.

As time passed, the restaurant was bustling, and every table was occupied.

Quite a few people entered the restaurant, and having found no seats available, sighed and left.

The people who left mostly looked enviously at the ’Little Gold’ who was occupying a table all by himself, feeling that their lives were not even comparable to that of a pet mouse.

"Hm?"

While Wyatt Barnes was eating and drinking, the approaching figures made him frown.

Wyatt Barnes lifted his head lazily and saw a young man in brocade clothes walking over with two middle-aged men.

The eyes of the youth in brocade fell on Little Gold, looking somewhat surprised.

"Kid, is this your pet?"

Behind the young man in brocade, one of the middle-aged men took a step forward, looked at Wyatt Barnes, and said sternly, "You go accompany your pet... vacate this table for my young master. Take this as a reward!"

The middle-aged man was overbearing, and casually threw out a gold note.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes reached out and caught the gold note, glanced at its denomination, and was somewhat surprised, "One hundred gold coins... so generous!"

"Hmph! Take the money and scram."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes surprised by a hundred gold coins, the middle-aged man sneered dismissively, and snarled.

Thud!

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes suddenly hardened, and in a lift of his hand, he had a stack of gold notes in his hand, "Here are ten thousand gold coins... Take the money and roll! Remember, really ’roll’."

Wyatt Barnes said, looking up at the middle-aged man with a grin.

His smile was wicked.

Want to compete with him in terms of money?

Ten thousand gold coins?

Wyatt Barnes’s voice was loud, attracting a lot of attention momentarily.

Soon, when these eyes touched the young man in brocade, they shuddered slightly, as if they had seen something terrifying...

Wyatt Barnes also noticed these glances.
