C529 – A Mysterious Young Man
“Master, I don’t understand. Isn’t he just an ordinary mortal? Why are you so afraid of him?” asked the dog.
The large cyan paw of the dog angrily slammed onto the ground.
“Awoo…”
As the paw hit the ground, a sharp pain shot through its body.
The pain reminded it of everything that had happened in Pangu Village.
Since it had started following its master, it had been treated like a VIP wherever it went. It had been welcomed by all the powerful factions. When had it ever been humiliated like this?
The man not only had shaved off a chunk of its flesh, but he had also slapped it multiple times.
How could it endure such humiliation?
The dark green dog’s expression was as grim as water, and it was filled with a desire to kill.
“He’s a mortal? That’s because you have poor eyesight,” the young man raised an eyebrow and spoke indifferently to the green dog.
“He’s hiding his true strength. If he uses his full strength, do you think you could defeat him alone?” he asked.
The green dog raised its eyebrows, finding it hard to believe, but it didn’t dare to question its master’s words. It knew how terrifying its master’s abilities were.
“Master, you have a highly respected status. I am your dog, yet he dared to shave off my flesh!” the azure-colored dog roared in anger.
“He didn’t shave off your flesh. He was slapping your face!” retorted the young man with a smile that was anything but friendly.
The young man looked at the dog, and the azure-colored fur bristled with fury.
“So, you know that my status is respected. Since you know this, why did you provoke him without my permission?” he asked with a cold tone.
The dog’s eyes filled with fear, and it began to tremble uncontrollably at the young man’s words.
The young man’s voice became colder and angrier as he shouted, “You have already exposed my existence with your attack. If I hadn’t raised you up, you would be nothing. I would have roasted you a long time ago!”
“Putong!”
The dog immediately knelt on the ground. Amidst the young man’s roar, cracks appeared on his body, and blood spluttered out like plastic bags filled with water.
“Master, the dog will never dare to do this again. In the future, the dog will definitely listen to master’s words. Master, please don’t get angry. The dog has always been obedient! The dog dares to swear that everything the dog does is for master!”
The dark green dog trembled. It did not even dare to breathe heavily, fearing that it would anger the young man.
The young man’s body rose and fell violently. After a while, the young man waved his hand indifferently, “Get out!”
To the dog, this period of time seemed to have passed several centuries.
Upon hearing the young man’s words, the dog felt as if it had been granted amnesty. It hurriedly ran out with its tail between its legs.
After the dog left, the young man’s face revealed an indifferent expression.
“Idiot, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You want to replace me? You’re still far from it!”
“I just casually said that if you want to become the sole ruler, you must first become the one and only one in this world. Then you’ll secretly make someone destroy all the Qilin in the Ten Thousand Sky Realms.”
As he spoke, his gaze passed through the endless space and time and looked in a certain direction.
“Zhang Xuan? Grow up quickly. I’ll wait for you to challenge me! Only by experiencing challenges can I find the path ahead of me!”
“Life is truly as lonely as snow!”
“Zhang Xuan, you must know me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be living in a small world. Our cultivation base is too powerful. Besides us, no one else is a match for us. No matter who we fight… We won’t be able to experience that sort of soul-stirring feeling anymore.”
“When a person has no room for improvement, they will never be able to experience the joy of growth.”
At this point, the young man suddenly paused. His expression was as if he had just eaten a huge pile of dung. These words were like what the dog beside Zhang Xuan had said.
His thoughts actually coincided with the dog’s.
The young man’s face turned dark. He suddenly felt that his attack on the dog just now had been too light.
He suddenly felt a little envious of Zhang Xuan. Compared to Zhang Xuan’s dog, his dog’s ambitions were too great.
They were originally close friends. The young man could not remember when the dog had started scheming against him.
If not for the fact that he had taken into account his past feelings and the fact that no one in this world was qualified to talk to him, he would have kept the dog.
“If you were as obedient as Zhang Xuan’s dog, how great would it be!”
After saying that, the young man looked in the direction of the courtyard and continued.
“We are the same kind of people, but unfortunately, you are still young. I am waiting for you to grow up, until the day you are qualified to challenge me!”
After the young man finished speaking, he fell onto the reclining chair and started to move slowly.
……
Great Heaven Sect.
The old man’s facial expression changed. Both of his eyes suddenly became round and round. Slowly, his eyes turned scarlet red. He looked like he was about to jump out of his eyes. He had a look of disbelief on his face.
“How is this possible? How is this possible?”
The old man seemed to have gotten hysterical as he repeated these words over and over again.
After a while, the old man suddenly laughed, his face full of despair and unwillingness.
“My strength is actually inferior to a dog!”
“I’ve worked hard for so many years. I originally thought that I was almost on par with you, but I didn’t expect my strength to be inferior to a dog!”
“Heavens, how unfair are you!”
“What exactly is the difference between me and you? Why can’t I even be compared to a dog?”
“With my strength, how can I challenge him!”
“God, tell me, with my strength, how can I challenge him?”
As he spoke, tears suddenly fell from the old man’s eyes.
After a while, the old man’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
“Since that’s the case, then I should also speed up the deployment. People have to fight for it.”
The old man muttered to himself, and the look in his eyes became firmer and firmer.
……
Sun City.
A pair of eyes suddenly gazed into the void of the Chaotic Battlefield, and the person’s expression became even more solemn.
“I have underestimated your strength,” the person muttered.
“Perhaps you have never taken us seriously, but there will come a day when we will earn your respect.”
“That day will surely come.”
As the person spoke, they vanished into the crowd. None of the people around them seemed to notice, as if the person had never existed.
……
Chen family.
“Grandpa, Nannan has eaten enough. If she eats any more, her stomach will be full,” said Nannan’s caregiver.
Nannan ate until she had oil around her mouth. While the food prepared by this family wasn’t as delectable as her father’s, it was still a nice change of pace to have once in a while.
Kitten and Loong Linshuang weren’t picky eaters. They usually ate Zhang Xuan’s food, but occasionally savored food from other sources, appreciating the differences in flavor.
“Nannan, is your father good to your mother?” Chen Shizhong asked casually.
Nannan nodded as she continued to eat, “Of course.”
Chen Shizhong nodded almost imperceptibly and asked another question.
“When did your parents get married? Do you have any siblings aside from you?”
As she spoke, Chen Shizhong looked at Nannan with a loving and hopeful expression in her eyes.
She wanted to learn more about her great-granddaughter and shower her with affection.
