Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 171 There wasn't much inside the stone, except there was a living thing inside...

The rock, more than two meters high, stood there. Wang Teng was eager to try, but the powerful ancestor of the Wang family broke out in a cold sweat.

"How about we cut it later? I'll find a few more people to guard the area together, and then we can cut it later. That way, the safety will be guaranteed..." said the powerful patriarch of the Wang family.

Just now, Wang Teng had cut out an eye that even he felt immense pressure from. It came from an ancient saint who had already fallen. Although it had lost its vitality, it still carried a chilling killing intent and could easily destroy all living beings within a hundred miles.

Even that tiny thing within the palm-sized divine source made him extremely wary.

Seeing something this big now, how could he not be nervous?
If something were actually cut out of this rock, it would be something even more shocking than what he had just seen.

Therefore, the powerful ancestor of the Wang family was filled with worry and dared not let Wang Teng cut the stone so directly.

"It's alright, there's nothing inside," Wang Teng said with a light laugh.

However, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family did not believe Wang Teng's words.

"If there really wasn't anything there, would you have picked out this stone?" asked the powerful patriarch of the Wang family.

As Wang Teng's protector, he has watched Wang Teng grow up and is arguably the person who has been with Wang Teng the longest, even longer than Wang Chengkun.

So, how could he not know what Wang Teng was thinking?
To put it bluntly, Wang Teng could guess what this kid was up to just by looking at him!
So he spoke directly.

“Let’s pick one out and take a look. I’ve never seen such a big stone that has nothing on it before,” Wang Teng stammered.

“The Northern Region is so vast, you can pick any mountain and you’ll find rocks like these,” said the powerful patriarch of the Wang family, having already seen through Wang Teng’s scheme!
“That’s different!” Wang Teng immediately retorted.

"What's different?" asked the powerful patriarch of the Wang family.

"That's not in the treasure vault of our Wang Family Mining Area! I'm just curious why this seemingly ordinary stone could be in our Wang Family Mining Area's treasure vault, so I wanted to take it out and examine it carefully!"

Wang Teng spoke with a straight face.

Indeed, such large stones are common, but they are always found in the outside world, not in their royal family's treasure vault!
However, upon hearing Wang Teng's statement, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family couldn't help but turn slightly dark-faced.

Is this kid saying that the old masters in Wangjia Mining Area have no sense of propriety?
"Ahem, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious why such a large rock was left in the mine's warehouse," Wang Teng said.

Logically speaking, the larger the stone, the sooner it should be dealt with, because what is contained within a large stone may be even more terrifying!
After all, if we're only comparing what can be held, a larger stone can undoubtedly hold more.

So if there are indeed rare treasures or other items inside, then those items must be at least much larger than those in the previous stone.

If even the eyes of an ancient sage are this troublesome, what if they actually see something else...?

The powerful patriarch of the Wang family did not believe that Wang Teng had simply picked a large one at random. He must have seen something inside the stone, which is why he chose it and took it out.

"Let's be on the safe side and not cut this stone for now. I have a feeling that something in this stone is watching me..." Perhaps because of the gaze of that eye just now, the powerful ancestor of the Wang family is now much more cautious.

“Ancestor, you must be mistaken. The one inside hasn’t opened its eyes yet…” Wang Teng said with a chuckle.

As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful patriarch of the Wang family jumped up. "What the hell? The one inside hasn't opened its eyes?" the patriarch exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment and a hint of awe.

What the heck is this?!
What did he hear? He heard that the one inside hadn't opened its eyes!

This short sentence filled the powerful patriarch of the Wang family with shock and horror.

If Wang Teng said that, it means that the thing inside is likely not just a single eye, but at least a complete head, or perhaps something even more terrifying to him.

"Ahem, I misspoke. There's nothing inside," Wang Teng said without changing his expression.

"I may be old, but I'm not deaf!" said the powerful patriarch of the Wang family, his face dark.

He had clearly heard Wang Teng say something about opening his eyes or not, but Wang Teng's attempt to fool him was far too simplistic.

"Tell me the truth, what exactly is in here? I need to know so I can be more at ease when I cover for you!" said the powerful patriarch of the Wang family.

He had even taken out the Golden Ancient War Chariot and the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Sword, activating them with all his might to suppress the surrounding void and prevent the thing in the stone from bursting out at any moment.

"Actually, it's nothing much. She's just an ancient clan girl. She's not bad looking, and she seems to have some royal blood. We should raise her as a daughter."

Wang Teng used his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye to take another look inside the massive rock, which was taller than the two of them, and then spoke.

The huge rock, which was more than two people tall, was not empty as Wang Teng had said. Inside it was a large piece of divine source, a full ten feet square, where a little creature was sleeping.

She wore a golden silk brocade robe, looking harmless and cute. She had pigtails with two coral-like dragon horns peeking out from her smooth hair, and her pointed ears added to her adorable beast girl appearance.

Compared to the ancient tribes that Wang Teng had seen before, this little guy was so cute that he seemed harmless. This was probably also due to his young age; he was probably about the same age as his younger brother.

"One...alive?" The powerful patriarch of the Wang family's voice trembled slightly.

It was just one eye, yet it made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. He had that feeling that if another eye were to be lost, he couldn't even imagine what would happen.

"Yes, it looks alive, but don't worry, it's not a big problem. It looks young and harmless."

Wang Teng took a few more glances to confirm that the little girl was still alive, so he spoke up.

"Then don't cut it!" the powerful patriarch of the Wang family quickly said.

He felt he couldn't handle even one eye, and if another one came, he felt he might die here. He didn't care about dying himself, but the key was that Wang Teng was right next to him.

This is the Wang family's hope. Even if he dies, Wang Teng cannot afford to have any problems!
"It's really okay, I'm confident," Wang Teng said earnestly.

His confidence stemmed from the fact that the little girl looked excessively young. If she were an ancient clan member in the form of a teenager, he certainly wouldn't be so confident today.

But if it's a child...
