Chapter 441: Scared and Whiny Blackie
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The scrawny elder looked down at his chest. It was pierced through by his spear. He went from being horrified, to confused, then in disbelief. Finally, he looked like he realized something.
‘So, that bunch was trying to protect that dog. But…that dog clearly overpowers them. Why were they trying to protect it? Are you kidding me?’
That was his final thought.
Then, he vanished into dust.
The fire around them went out. The fire cage had vanished. All was at peace again.
The scrawny elder died without taking anything. Only a Pellet Drum and a Crystal Spear were left in his spot.
The wind had stopped.
All was silent.
Everyone was shocked with their mouths wide open. They were turned into statues.
Gasp—
Then, they all gasped at the same time.
Juling Shen gasped the hardest. He went green when he looked at Blackie. It was as if he was looking at an utterly horrifying thing. His eyes rolled back in horror.
He bootlicked Blackie purely because of the expert. He had no idea that Blackie was so powerful beyond his understanding. Blackie was a true bigshot. How…thrilling.
The second hardest gasp was from Lord Kunpeng.
Lord Kunpeng thought about that mysteriously powerful dog reported by his previous minion Demons.
‘So, that dog’s Blackie!’
Everyone gradually recovered from their shock. They took a deep breath but did not dare to make any noise. Their hearts were thumping still. They could not believe it.
‘That was a Saint, one of the most powerful Saints. Did he turn to dust just like that?’
‘Moreover… The most ironic part of his death was that he died from his own weapon.’
‘The Quasi-Saint stabbed the dog, but it didn’t hurt him at all. Then, the dog tossed his weapon back and it pierced right through him.’
‘Such an unforgettable sight!’
‘So scary, so terrifying!’
‘Of course. This is the dog of the expert we’re talking about!’
‘The expert’s so powerful, his dog must be extraordinary, too. Anyone could be invincible by being around the expert, even a Pig!’
‘How could we forget that? Foolish. How foolish of us!’
‘The dog is indeed like the master!’
The master liked living as an ordinary man, so Blackie liked living as an ordinary dog. Blackie was apathetic, too, so it was hard to imagine Blackie as someone powerful.
They accepted it well because of the expert. However, Mosquito Taoist was utterly puzzled. She was dumbfounded.
She questioned if she was under some sort of hallucination spell. It was too ridiculous and outrageous.
‘Did the ordinary dog become a Dog Saint?
‘Has the realm changed so much after all these years? Did they give a Saint title to a dog?’
Suddenly, she noticed that the dog was looking at her. The dog looked calm. She instantly jolted and quivered. Her hair stood on ends as her blood went straight to her head. She went numb.
“Dog… Dog… Lord Dog.” She passed out on the ground. She said in a trembling voice, “I… I… I’m innocent.”
“Mosquito?” Blackie looked hesitant. “My master dislikes mosquitoes.”
Mosquito Taoist went blank from that. She almost cried. She begged, “Actually, I… I can stop being a Mosquito. Please, spare my life, Saint Dog.”
Blackie did not say anything. He started to lick his paws.
Everyone jumped. The Deified Dog looked at Mosquito Taoist with sympathy. He knew that his Lord Dog was about to make a move.
Mosquito Taoist went cold but did not dare to move. She did not dare to run.
She was just an insect to a Saint.
A Quasi-Saint was kind of like a Saint, but she was really just a stronger insect. She might be able to defend herself with a Heavenly Spiritual Defense Treasure, but if she did not own any, she would easily be squashed to death like that anonymous elder!
Suddenly, Blackie placed his paw down on the ground. He hurriedly stepped away and hid behind Deified Dog. He looked weak, small, helpless, and pitiful.
No one knew what was going on yet. Then, they saw a few clouds floating in from afar. One of the clouds was golden.
They immediately realized that the Lord Saint had arrived.
Mosquito Taoist escaped death. She did not understand what was going on but she was glad and confused. She was about to speak but she was interrupted by a scolding.
“Shut up!”
Lord Kunpeng flew over and scolded her in a whisper. He said with a low voice, “No time to explain, all you have to know is that the bigshot likes to pretend as an ordinary man. Remember, keep your mouth shut!”
Mosquito Taoist was instantly nervous. She was anxious and frantic. She stood in place quietly.
She looked up at the golden cloud. Li Nianfan slowly appeared.
‘It’s him!
‘The Deluxe Merit Saint.
‘The one that sprayed two of my Mosquito ancestors to death!
‘I knew it. This man isn’t an ordinary man. Thankfully, I’m cautious. I didn’t cause trouble with Kunpeng. I made the right choice.”
She suddenly realized something. She whispered to the eagle, “Are you really Kunpeng?”
Kunpeng replied, “Duh. Why would I lie?”
“How did this happen?” Mosquito Taoist was shocked. “Is this your true form? That’s it? You called yourself the mighty Kunpeng. That’s kind of an oversell.”
“Yeah, right!”
Lord Kunpeng immediately said, “My true form was turned to soup by the expert. Everyone enjoyed it and ate it. You were too late, you missed out on an incredible feast. Otherwise, you would’ve been in awe of my original body.”
“Soup? No wonder…”
Mosquito Taoist was shocked. She was glad that she rejected the offer. Otherwise, she would end up in tragedy.
The clouds landed in front of everyone.
The Jade Emperor and Empress accompanied Li Nianfan. They looked serious.
They suddenly sensed a horrifying aura just now. So, they came to check it out.
Blackie frantically ran over to Li Nianfan with a wagging tail. He barked and said, “Master, I’m so scared!”
Li Nianfan patted Blackie and comforted him, “Alright, be strong, Blackie. Everything’s fine now.”
Blackie shivered and whined.
Everyone immediately felt awkward watching his behavior. They hurriedly looked away. They were worried that they would call out their acting performance if they continued to look at them.
‘So exaggerated. Have you considered our feelings?’
Mosquito Taoist was dumbfounded again. She felt like what happened that day destroyed her understanding of the world. ‘Did I transmigrate to a different timeline?’
First, she ran into a living being in the Chaos, and he did not belong to the realm. It was already a shocking fact. Then, the Saint Dog appeared while she was in despair! Then, the Saint Dog became a whiny baby.
Things were changing too often for her. She felt dizzy and unprepared.
Cough.
The Jade Emperor coughed softly. He reminded everyone to close their mouths. Then, he asked, “What happened just now?”
Everyone knew that they should not look at Blackie. They looked at each other instead. In the end, Juling Shen stepped out and muttered, “Um… Actually, someone was fighting here. Then, we got involved. We all worked together and the enemy was stopped.”
“Was the opponent powerful?” asked Li Nianfan curiously.
‘There are so many Immortals here and Blackie’s so terrified. Moreover, everyone looked serious. It’s obvious that the opponent was hard to handle.’
Juling Shen forced himself to reply, “A little…powerful.”
Li Nianfan was immediately concerned for his dog. “Blackie, are you hurt?”
Blackie shook his head. “I dodged it fast. I’m not hurt.”
‘Dodge what?!’
‘He stabbed your butt but you weren’t hurt at all!’
‘You stood still and you were fine!’
Li Nianfan nodded. He smiled and saluted, “Good. Thanks for protecting Blackie for me, everyone.”
The Immortals hurriedly waved it off. They felt very awkward. “Ha. No, no. We’re supposed to.”
Li Nianfan glanced around and looked at Mosquito Taoist. He asked curiously, “This is…?”
Mosquito Taoist straightened up. She did not dare to speak.
Lord Kunpeng hurriedly answered for her, “Lord Saint, she’s Mosquito Taoist.”
Li Nianfan furrowed his brow. He was kind of surprised. “Mosquito Taoist? The Blood-Wing Black Mosquito of the Bloody Sea?”
Mosquito Taoist was famous. She was born from the Bloody Sea and ate a lot of Immortals. Her cultivation was weirdly powerful. Three Golden Lotuses were sucked away by her.
‘Legend had it that Mosquito Taoist was a woman. It seems to be true.’
However, he could not see her face clearly because of her robe. Her red eyes and sharp fangs frightened Li Nianfan.
‘A Mosquito in a vampire’s outfit…’
‘Mosquito Taoist is here. It means that the opponent just now was truly powerful.’
Mosquito Taoist nervously stuttered, “Lord… Lord Saint. I’m a Mosquito but I promise I’ll be a good Mosquito. Please, please, don’t hate me.”
Blackie mentioned that his master disliked mosquitoes. It was crucial to her. Mosquito Taoist was naturally nervous.
She held her breath after saying it. Her back was filled with cold sweat.
Li Nianfan laughed and said, “Haha, as long as you don’t buzz around my ears and bite me.”
Mosquito Taoist sighed in relief. “Stop joking, Lord Saint. How can I bite you?”
‘You have the Deluxe Merit Flesh. I’ll instantly die if I touch you!’
“Alright, enough chit-chat. Take out your Immortal Items. Let me give you all something…”
