You Have to Compensate Me
"Is it really that easy to go back?"
Ye Zichen stood by the campfire and clenched his fists, waiting for the warlock's answer.
If he really returned to his nineteen-year-old self, Ye Zichen swore he'd never enter the Red Packet Group again. Even if he did, he'd leave it as soon as possible.
All of this was like a butterfly effect. His entry into the group directly affected the changes of everyone around him.
Of course, this was all based on the premise that he could go back.
Thinking about it, the God Emperor could easily take the Five Elements Great Emperor's celestial fate. Compared to the God Emperor's, his wish was far inferior. Given the warlock's strength, he could definitely do it.
As he considered this, Ye Zichen was filled with confidence in the warlock.
However, a full hour passed. Ye Zichen had no idea how many times the warlock had snapped his fingers.
After one snap, he snapped another …..
The cycle repeated itself.
"Mr. Devil, can I go back now?"
Previously, the warlock hadn't taken more than a minute to fulfill his wish. However, the warlock had dragged on for a full hour. Ye Zichen couldn't help but frown.
The warlock's large eyes darted back and forth in their sockets, but he didn't come to a conclusion. He grimaced in pain, and wrinkles covered his forehead.
"How strange."
Little did he know, as Ye Zichen urged him on, the warlock was muttering to himself.
He'd tried to establish a connection with the Time Corridor and send Ye Zichen back to when he was nineteen, but his attempts were like rocks sinking into the ocean. There was no response at all.
He'd been in the Time Corridor for so long, but he'd never encountered anything so strange.
"What on earth went wrong?" The warlock muttered to himself. Ye Zichen, who'd been waiting anxiously outside, spoke up again. "Mr. Devil, are you done?"
"Strange."
The warlock muttered to himself. He'd tried tens of thousands of times to no avail, so he'd lost his patience.
When he thought back to how confident he'd been, and how much he'd accepted, the warlock couldn't help but chuckle.
"Something went wrong, a small problem."
The warlock scratched his head in embarrassment. In all his years, he'd never felt so awkward before.
"What do you mean something went wrong?"
Ye Zichen's expression was somewhat unfriendly.
"It's like this. There's a small problem between the Time Corridor and me, the great Pilar. I've tried to communicate with him, but I can't get a response. I have no choice but to apologize to you. "
"So you're saying that you can't fulfill my wish?"
Although this was definitely a huge stain in the life of a Sorcerer, he had to admit it.
"Yes."
"Heh …" Ye Zichen laughed.
"Kid, don't be too disappointed." The warlock walked up to Ye Zichen and put his hands on his hips. "Although I wasn't able to fulfill your wish this time, I, the Great Pilar, will remember this humiliation. Once I, the Great Pilar, reconnect with the Time Corridor, I will find a way to find you and fulfill your wish."
The warlock's tone was still as confident as ever. Ye Zichen looked down at the warlock, who barely reached his waist, and slapped him.
"What are you still playing dumb for? I've realized that my brain hasn't been working well lately. How could I have believed your nonsense?"
The warlock was small to begin with. Ye Zichen's slap sent him flying into the Time Corridor's walls.
There was a loud bang.
"How dare you!" The warlock slammed into the wall, clutched his head, then pointed at Ye Zichen, eyes spitting fire. "You actually dared hit the great Pilar? When I return to my kingdom, I'll have my people kill you!"
"Hah!"
In the face of the warlock's threats, Ye Zichen put on an exaggerated expression, reached out, and slapped the warlock's head.
The slap sent the wizard flying a few meters away. The wizard was still roaring angrily.
He roared indignantly, "The Great Pilar won't forgive you! My kingdom …."
Bang!
Ye Zichen was met with another slap. He stuck his hands in his pockets and cocked his head at the warlock.
"Someone like you has a kingdom? Aiya, that really scared me to death. And …. The Great Pilar, why are you Pu 'er tea? If you were Pu 'er tea, you might still have some value. You keep saying 'Pilar' and 'I can satisfy your desires. You say you don't have the ability, so what are you pretending for? "
"The Great …."
"Shut up."
Ye Zichen slapped him again. After a few slaps, the warlock didn't make any more noise. However, his expression was still furious.
"What the f * ck are you talking about? Let me tell you, right now, I'm the greatest. You look like a freak, yet you're still pretending to be human. I almost fell for your lies! Fortunately, I only lost three strands of hair. If I lost an arm or a leg, I'd be so mad I'd die! "
"Hey, deformed freak, tell me … Are all the people in your world as deformed as you? What race do you belong to? I don't think even the beastmen are as ugly as you!"
"I'm not a freak, I'm the Great Pilar. Call me Mister Devil!"
The warlock stomped his feet in anger. He, the Great Pilar, had never suffered such humiliation. His dignity couldn't be trampled on!
However, the instant Ye Zichen raised his hand, he cowered.
When he saw the warlock's cowardice, Ye Zichen sighed in relief. After a moment's thought, he decided to let it go. He narrowed his eyes at the warlock. Sensing his gaze, the warlock backed away.
"What are you trying to do? The Great Pilar isn't afraid of you."
"Don't be nervous. Relax."
Ye Zichen looked up. The warlock hurriedly covered his head with his hands and closed his eyes. Before long, however, Ye Zichen merely patted him on the shoulder and smiled warmly at him.
"I won't hit you again. Don't be afraid."
The warlock's expression changed somewhat, and he puffed up his chest disdainfully.
"The great Pilar's heart never shows fear."
"Alright, alright, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Ye Zichen smiled and nodded, then patted him on the shoulder. "How about this? You see …. A deal has to be fair, right?"
"Of course!"
"I gave you three strands of hair, but you didn't fulfill my wish. In that case …. Shouldn't you make it up to me in some way?"
"What kind of compensation do you want? Right now, the Great Pilar can't contact the Time Corridor, but if you can wait, I'll definitely make it up to your satisfaction," replied the warlock.
