Chapter 2514 - 2512: Willing to Be a Dog
Long Fei and Wang Xiaoya were watching from the side, laughing nonstop, thinking this guy really was a talent.
A Demi Immortal-level Cultivator was being cursed out like a dog by a bunch of Void Insight Realm Demon Kings.
The Black Dragon King had not yet crossed his tribulation, so he did not count as a True Immortal.
The True Immortal Tribulation was a fatal matter for Cultivators; without absolute certainty, no one dared take that step.
The Black Dragon King was a Loose Cultivator without proper orthodox guidance; reaching this level was already no easy feat.
He still had some rules, didn’t want to ruin his own reputation, so he patiently tried to reason with the crowd of Demon Kings, saying, "I’m not going, and naturally I have my reasons. You guys really are weak as hell; you haven’t even held out for a single day yet. What, all of you came back in complete defeat?"
The Seventy-Two Demon Kings shouted in anger, "You, you still have the face to say sarcastic crap to us brothers. If you won’t give us an explanation for this, we’ll find someone else to judge it for us and see how you plan to keep living around here!"
The Black Dragon King said, a bit speechless, "You bunch of big oafs, Laozi doesn’t want to rough you up and you think Laozi’s easy to bully! Come on, come on then, whoever you want to drag over here to reason with Laozi, just call them over."
"Fine, fine, if we’d known you were this kind of person, we’d rather die than come asking you for help."
"Just you wait, with that kind of way of dealing with people, you still dream of ruling the roost here? Keep dreaming!"
"Brothers, let’s go. From now on we cut all ties with this man; we owe each other nothing!"
The Seventy-Two Demon Kings each cursed once, then turned around to leave.
Long Fei shouted from behind, "Hold it!"
The group of Demon Kings stopped, looked at each other, then stared at Long Fei with knitted brows, "What did you say?"
Long Fei smiled faintly. "I told you to wait."
The Roaring Sky Tiger King was the first to protest, "Who the hell do you think you are? Even the Black Dragon King hasn’t said anything, what are you doing playing big boss here?"
The Black Dragon King roared, "Shut up! You think you’re worthy to talk to my master like that? Kneel down and apologize!"
The group of Demon Kings looked, then said in disbelief, "You’re saying they are your master?"
The Black Dragon King shouted, "What about it? Not allowed?"
The Demon Kings immediately burst out laughing. "Black Dragon King, you’ve really thrown all the Demon Clan’s face away. Guess we misjudged you before, thought you were a leader of our Demon Clan. If we’d known you were this kind of person, we brothers would rather die than ask you for help!"
"You’re a Demon King, eight feet tall, and you actually went and found a Human Race master? Aren’t you ashamed?"
"We’re really too embarrassed to be lumped in with you!"
"..."
This band of Demon Kings mocked him line by line, making the Black Dragon King’s already dark face grow even darker.
Wang Xiaoya covered her face, thinking this dark brat was just too amusing.
A dignified Demi Immortal being mocked by a bunch of Little Demons to this extent?
The Black Dragon King was oblivious, still holding back his anger as he reasoned with the Demon Kings, "You lot are blind as bats, can’t even recognize Mount Tai when it’s right in front of you. You meet a Superior Immortal and don’t know to seize the chance—serves you right to be stuck as petty Demon Kings for life."
"Hey, you’re a dog and you still got superiority complex about it."
"We brothers would rather die than be dogs!"
"You go be your dog, we’re not interested!"
"Let’s go. I want to see what your master can actually do to us!"
"..."
They took the advantage with their tongues, but in their hearts they knew Long Fei definitely had some skill; otherwise, how could he make the Black Dragon King submit so sincerely?
These guys lifted their legs to run, each one cursing as they tried to slip away.
They had just gotten up when a transparent barrier in the sky blocked them. One by one they ran smack into it, as if they had hit a water surface, and no matter how hard they rammed, they couldn’t break through.
Some Demon King tried changing direction, only to realize there was the same transparent, water-like substance under their feet as well.
They took a careful look and finally realized they were actually wrapped inside a transparent, watery bubble.
Long Fei smiled faintly at them. "I told you, you’re not going anywhere."
The Roaring Sky Tiger King let out a shrill roar, "Aren’t you underestimating us a bit too much!"
He summoned his tiger-head broadsword and hacked fiercely at the bubble.
The blade aura was oppressive, the chop fierce.
With a whoosh, the long blade came down.
The blade slammed hard into the bubble, but the bubble bounced it heavily back, and with a clang it smashed right onto his own head.
The Roaring Sky Tiger King fell backward with a thump, a huge lump swelling on his head.
"What the hell is this thing!"
The other Demon Kings were also cursing loudly as they summoned their Magical Weapons and hacked and stabbed madly at the transparent bubble.
In the end, no matter how hard they tried.
The bubble just wobbled, but didn’t burst.
After flailing around for a while and exhausting their strength, they were panting heavily and finally sat down quietly.
The Black Dragon King laughed heartily from below. "What now, why’d you stop? Don’t you have backbone? Didn’t you want to leave? Why aren’t you going anymore?"
The Demon Kings cursed coldly, "What are you so proud of? What’s there to be proud about in being a dog for the Human Race? If you’ve got the guts then kill us; I want to see what the Demon Clan will say about you afterward."
"Yeah, if you’re gonna kill then kill, why bother to mock us?"
"If we were afraid of death, we wouldn’t have come to reason with you."
"..."
The Black Dragon King shook his head in disdain. "You lot, you lot—dog this, dog that out of your mouths all day. You think you’re worthy to be my master’s dogs?"
He took out his True Immortal Fangtian Halberd, glanced at the Demon Kings and said, "Take a good look. This was just now rewarded to me by my master. A genuine True Immortal Magic Treasure. So tell me, which dog out there gets this kind of treatment?"
The Demon Kings looked closely and saw that the Magical Weapon in the Black Dragon King’s hand really did have a different aura now.
Under the sunlight it gleamed brilliantly, releasing streaks of black Mysterious Light, worlds apart from mortal weapons.
Facing brute force, they could still muster some backbone.
But facing this kind of temptation, they had absolutely no will to resist!
One Demon King forced down his greed, even stuttering as he spoke, "It’s just a True Immortal Magic Treasure, what—what’s so great about that. We—we don’t care for it."
"Right, right, we don’t care for it!"
They turned their heads away, but drool was clearly dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Long Fei watched and smiled. "Care or not, whatever. Listen to me before you go. I’m someone who’s never liked forcing others, and I’ve never liked treating others like dogs.
I’m keeping you here only to give you a chance.
My Liangshan Island has lousy feng shui and needs some manpower to renovate it. You’ve got plenty of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals under you; you can bring them along to do some work for me.
As for pay, I won’t shortchange you. Just like the Black Dragon, each of you will be rewarded with a True Immortal Magic Treasure.
As for the Little Demons under you, I’ll also reward them according to their contributions. Meals included every day, plenty to eat, you won’t be treated poorly.
Think it over carefully. Once you’ve decided, stay or go, it’s up to you!"
When he finished, he flicked his sleeve, and the bubble around the Seventy-Two Demon Kings burst with a pop.
Caught off guard, they were yanked down by a surge of spatial force, and for a moment they couldn’t steady themselves, rolling and crashing to the ground.
The ground was full of swamp, so it didn’t hurt when they fell.
Some of them landed straight into the mud, reeking so badly that they hurriedly shook themselves off.
The Black Dragon King was delighted, shouting at them, "Gentlemen, the master has already let you go, so hurry and run for your lives! I know you’ve got backbone, so I won’t keep you here for a meal."
The Demon Kings looked at one another, then their faces flushed red as they immediately knelt down, kowtowing in unison to Long Fei. "This Little Demon greets the Superior Immortal. This Little Demon is willing to be a cow or a horse for the Superior Immortal. If the Superior Immortal wishes it, this Little Demon can also be a dog for the Superior Immortal!"
Mm, their lines were exactly the same.
The Seventy-Two Demon Kings spoke in unison, making Wang Xiaoya burst out laughing.
Fragrant—this meal really was fragrant.
