Chapter 4830

Of course, the man knew that Kai wouldn’t help him out of pure goodwill. As the saying goes, no merit, no reward. Since Kai wanted to save him, there had to be something in it for him.

Right now, he was nothing more than a prisoner—he had no resources, no treasures. The only thing he could offer was his loyalty and service to Kai.

“Since senior is being so straightforward, I won’t refuse. But can you at least tell me how to break your prisoner’s seal? And why were you imprisoned here in the first place?”

Kai asked.

“Do I have to tell you? How embarrassing…” The man’s face flushed.

“If you don’t tell me, how am I supposed to help you?” Kai spread his hands.

“Fine…” The man took a deep breath. “Back in the heavenly realm, I met a beautiful fairy, and well…”

“And? What did you do to her?” Kai asked.

“No, no! I wouldn’t dare! She’s the daughter of the Golden Immortal. How could I have the courage? I just… secretly watched her take a bath…”

As he finished speaking, his face turned an even deeper shade of red.

“Wait, you were branded with a prisoner’s seal and locked up here just for that?”

Kai was baffled.

The man nodded, looking thoroughly embarrassed.

“That’s… way too pathetic,” Kai shook his head.

“Hey! In the heavenly realm, immortals like me—who climbed our way up step by step—have the lowest status. It’s nearly impossible for us to find a dual cultivation partner.”

“I was desperate, so I did something foolish… You’re not going to laugh at me, are you?”

The man looked at Kai with a mix of shame and hope.

“No, of course not! I’m a well-mannered person. I would never mock someone…”

“Unless I just can’t help it.”

“Hahaha!”

Kai burst into laughter.

“Fuck!” The man’s face turned green as he glared at him. “You dare laugh at me?! Do you even have a dual cultivation partner?”

“Of course I do! I have more than twenty—I’ve lost count!”

Kai continued laughing.

Getting imprisoned in a place like this just for peeking at a woman bathing—it was almost too ridiculous to believe.

“Braggart…” The man shot Kai a skeptical glance.

Kai didn’t respond. Instead, he casually waved the Dragon Slaying Sword, and in an instant, the sword spirit Zhongli appeared before them.

“A sword spirit?!” The man exclaimed in shock.

“Master!” Zhongli snuggled into Kai’s arms affectionately.

“Senior, do you really want to watch me being intimate right in front of you?”

Kai asked teasingly.

“I’d rather not!” The man turned away. “You’re still so young, yet you possess a spirit sword and can leap an entire cultivation realm with your third-grade Mahayana strength. There’s no way you achieved this alone—someone powerful must be backing you. You’re just a privileged second-generation cultivator. I won’t compare myself to you!”

With a bitter expression, he looked off into the distance.

He had struggled for thousands of years just to climb to the heavens, yet here was a second-generation rich kid who had effortlessly reached the same heights.

Comparisons were infuriating—some people spent their whole lives striving for ascension, while others were simply born into it.

That was fate, sealed from the moment of birth.

Kai patted Zhongli gently, signaling her to return to the Dragon Slaying Sword. Then he turned back to the man.

“Senior, how can I help you break your Prison Seal? And how much of your strength is currently suppressed?”

The man nodded. “Right now, I have only one-third of my full power. If I were at full strength, none of you would have made it past the first level.”

“As for breaking the Prison Seal… that depends entirely on your ability!”

With that, the man swung his axe down hard.

A burst of red light erupted from the ground, and a blood-red talisman slowly surfaced. It spread across the entire wasteland, intricate lines filled with flowing crimson liquid.

“This is the Prison Seal, and the red liquid is my blood. To break the seal, I must completely remove it from my body,” the man explained.

“Simple. It’s just a talisman—I can break it with a flick of my hand.”

Kai smiled confidently.

“Are you serious, or just bragging?” The man asked, narrowing his eyes.
