Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
He said weakly, "What does this got to do with me in the first place?"
No Hai said weakly, "He said that you are the one that got him drunk in the first place."
Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …
All of a sudden, Great Saint No Ah had suddenly appeared in the platform and he had walked toward Ji Yuan and No Hai.
As soon as Ji Yuan saw him, he said bitterly to Great Saint No Ah. "I've heard that you had cursed me this morning."
Great Saint No Ah frowned, "Is this supposed to be your concern after I've lent you a profound ship to go to the Holy Oracle Sect? Your concern should be in fighting the evil cultivators and to save the Endless Celestial Fraternity instead."
Ji Yuan grinned as he patted his chest, "Hehe. You got the right man! At least I must applaud your foresight of trusting the right man. Haha…"
Great Saint No Ah said solemnly, "I don't know if you are the right man or not. But please take care of Xu Yifei and Tang Manni. I don't want them to die with you. If you really cannot defeat the Holy Cultivation Palace, you should fight them alone and don't drag your maidens into it."
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "Isn't it a little harsh for you to say this? Trust me, I can win."
Great Saint No Ah smiled bitterly, "How can I trust you when you are just a small group and you are up against 3 desolate immortals and the entire cultivators from both the Holy Oracle Sect and the Evil Cultivation Palace?"
Ji Yuan asked curiously, "But you are willing to lend me a profound ship?"
Great Saint No Ah had of course lent the profound ship because of Tang Manni and Xu Yifei but he was unwilling to tell Ji Yuan the real reason.
He did not answer Ji Yuan but he said to No Hai, "Son, come to me to the side."
No Hai: ???
Great Saint No Ah had walked to the side and out of earshot from Ji Yuan and he whispered to No Hai, "Son, you know that I am giving you the richest portion of the lower regions where there are plenty of gold and silver celestiums, spirit stones and other cultivation resources. It is also a place where there are plenty of profound beasts too. It is far richer than what your two brothers will receive."
No Hai said humbly, "Thank you, father. I am really grateful to you for this."
Great Saint No Ah shook his head, "I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for you. But I want you to know that you have always been my favorite son and that is why I am giving you the richest portion of my inheritance to you. And that is also why I've to be angry with you in front of your two brothers…"
Then he sighed, "Your two brothers are both crafty while you are too simple. When I am no longer around, they will surely bully you or even try all kinds of methods to exploit your inheritance."
No Hai was startled, "Surely not. They are my brothers and we are triplets…"
Great Saint No Ah shook his head, "You are too young, too simple! If they really treat you like their brothers, they would have told me that the three of you cover me up when I was naked. But they did not nor did they give you any credit for telling them."
Then he gave No Hai a pat on his shoulder, "That is why I have to pretend to bless them this morning or they will think that I am most unfair to give you the best portion of my inheritance."
No Hai asked curiously, "You are only pretending to curse Brother Ji Yuan too?"
Great Saint No Hai laughed, "Of course! And why should I curse my own son? Naturally I've to make him the scapegoat."
As he said that, Ji Yuan was squeezing all of a sudden as though someone was cursing him from out of the blue.
Great Saint No Ah then said to No Hai, "However, there is a little problem with your inheritance though. It is a little too hot."
No Hai immediately grinned, "No problem, father! I love to tan all the time and to have a bronze body!"
Great Saint No Ah weakly said, "It is more than that actually. But you won't find out anytime soon in your life time. Maybe your bloodlines in the future will be the ones finding out."

Author Note:
1. As a biblical scholar and an evangelist, this mini arc is a parody of Noah and his three sons; there is a hint that his three sons are actually triplets, born when he was 500 years old.
There is also no indication that Ham's descendants are wholly Black as obviously the Eygptians are Brown while the cursed Amorities are White (Egyptian artists represent them with fair-skin, light hair and blue-eyes).
In the end, the color of the skin may be a natural case from the exposure of the sun.
