The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 165: Despicable Black Donkey!

“Zifeng, please don't tell me that this is the extremely, extremely, extremely terrifying monster?” Ling Feng asked in his heart.

"Um..."

Zifeng also seemed somewhat surprised. Previously, it had only sensed a nearly sixth-tier demonic beast, which was the equivalent to a demon king, but when it saw it with its own eyes, it was also startled.

However, ordinary donkeys also could not lie down like that. This donkey might indeed not be an ordinary donkey, but rather a divine donkey.

However, a divine donkey is still just a donkey!

My God, what kind of donkey could cultivate to the level of demon king? This is truly unbelievable!

Ling Feng stared in astonishment at the black donkey, which was entirely jet black with a glossy sheen, standing motionless in place, its face displaying a surprised expression.

Even Zifeng was somewhat stunned, staring at the black donkey that had long ears, large front teeth, pitch-black eyeballs and was lying on the rocking chair...

This looked like an ordinary donkey no matter how you looked at it!

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at? Haven't you seen such a handsome divine donkey like me before?"

Suddenly, the donkey on the lounge chair flopped like a carp and jumped up directly.

Indeed, this donkey was walking upright!

The black donkey stretched lazily, then its dark eyes turned to Ling Feng. "Hey, who are you? How dare you disturb my peaceful nap!"

Ling Feng stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

What kind of demonic beast is this?

Being a donkey is one thing, but speaking as well?

A donkey that walks upright and can speak!

"Hey, hey, hey, although I know I’m quite handsome, staring at me like that will cost you!"

The black donkey crossed its front hooves over its chest, adopting a self-important pose. It shook its head to toss a strand of mane from its forehead, then struck a few poses it thought were very suave, chuckling. "Look at these biceps, and look at these muscles. Tsk, tsk, tsk... I know I’m looking good, way too good!"

A twitch formed at the corner of Ling Feng's mouth as he pondered what kind of experience it was to have a donkey showing off in front of him.

It felt like being cursed at a hundred times.

Zifeng also looked dumbfounded, thinking that the black donkey's mind might not be quite right.

The black donkey grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth. On its remarkably human-like face, a highly pleased expression emerged.

"May I ask....What kind of donkey are you?" Ling Feng stood there dumbfounded for a moment before finally speaking his first words.

"Insolence! How dare you speak to me like this?" The black donkey walked towards Ling Feng on its hind legs and delivered a kick directly at him.

Ling Feng instinctively dodged, and the black donkey didn't pursue further. Instead, it sat down on the ground, propping up its chin with one front hoof, while its tail swished back and forth, whipping the ground.

"Kid, I haven't come looking for you yet, but you dare to come find me on your own. You've got some nerve," the black donkey said calmly, fixing its gaze on Lingfeng.

"Since I can't leave, sooner or later, we'd have to meet anyway," Ling Feng responded nonchalantly.

"Impressive observation," the black donkey said, patting the ground beside it and grinning, "Sit, sit, sit, let's have a chat."

After a moment of hesitation, Ling Feng sat down. "I'm willing to chat with you. Can you tell me how to leave this place?"

"Hey, you want to leave, and I also want to leave!" The black donkey lay down directly, quite comfortably crossing its hind legs... Wait, not hind legs, but rather hind hooves.

"Are you also trapped here?" Ling Feng was taken aback. Wasn’t this black donkey the guardian demonic beast of the Misty Ghost Forest?

"No shit! If I weren't trapped here, would I just stay here munching on grass?" A long strand of saliva dripped from its mouth as it eyed Ling Feng with ill intent. "Kid, I haven't tasted meat in centuries."

"Are you really a donkey? Donkeys eat meat?" Ling Feng was taken aback.

"Rubbish! You're the donkey here, your whole family are donkeys! I am a divine donkey!" The black donkey sat up abruptly, staring at Ling Feng with some excitement.

Ling Feng's mouth twitched a few times as he muttered to himself. A divine donkey is still a donkey...

"However, considering you're quite interesting, and you didn't run away upon seeing me, I'll let you live a little longer. Once we're done chatting, I'll have you for dinner! And you!"

The black donkey chuckled sinisterly, casting a malevolent glance at Ling Feng and Zifeng, then laid back down.

"Fuck!"

Ling Feng cursed inwardly; this black donkey was a sixth-tier monster. If it decided to eat him, would he still have a chance to survive?

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you notice that I'm just a rock? Rocks aren't tasty!" Zifeng exclaimed anxiously.

The black donkey's eyes rolled and landed on Zifeng. "You are quite a strange creature. I have never seen a monster like you before!"

"I've also never seen a monster like you before. Has this black donkey become enlightened?" Zifeng muttered softly.

The black donkey's large ears fluttered like fans, and upon hearing Zifeng daring to call it an ‘enlightened black donkey,’ it immediately jumped up in anger. "You little thing, I can eat you in one bite, believe it or not!"

Ling Feng cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, saying, "I am Ling Feng. May I know how I should address you, Brother Divine Donkey?"

"Stop pretending to be friendly with me. In the end, I'll eat you anyway." The black donkey turned on its side, its mischievous eyes fixed on Ling Feng while it chuckled. "Just call me Lord Divine Donkey from now on."

"Alright, Lord Divine Donkey," Ling Feng suppressed a smile and asked, "I wonder how you ended up here. If my guess is correct, there must be a formidable array here. Without breaking the array, no one can leave."

"Oh?" The black donkey perked up suddenly. "You're quite knowledgeable, kid. Indeed, that Tianbai Emperor set up some kind of tricky array. Could it be that you also understand arrays?"

"I understand a little." Ling Feng glanced at the black donkey. Judging from its words, it seemed to have been trapped here by someone named the Tianbai Emperor.

Who knows what kind of powerhouse dared to call themselves an emperor, especially the Tianbai Emperor. Could it be the founding ancestor of the Tianbai Empire?

"Just a little bit, huh? It seems you're not very useful. I'll eat you! Stir-fried human flesh should be quite tasty, but steamed is also good. No, no, it's been centuries since I've had meat. I should sun-dry you into jerky and savor it slowly."

The black donkey's face showed a hint of disappointment, then it began to ponder how to eat Ling Feng.

Ling Feng's expression darkened, feeling frustrated as he said, "I was just being modest earlier. Actually, I understand them very well, extremely well!"

Of course, even though he was actually completely clueless, he could only lie right now.

"Oh?" The black donkey stopped mumbling and became excited. "So you're saying you're confident that you can leave this darned place?"

"I'm about seventy to eighty percent confident," Ling Feng said seriously, "But before that, we need to agree on some terms. I'll help you leave, but you mustn't harm me."

"Hehe, you're quite interesting, kid. Daring to negotiate terms with me, huh?" The black donkey lifted its hooves and smirked maliciously.

"No deal, no discussion. Worst case scenario, you can eat me right now. Without me to guide you out, you'll be munching on grass in this damn place for the rest of your life!"

"Fine, I can spare you from being eaten. But if you try anything funny, hmph, I will devour you alive!"

"Once spoken, even four horses can’t take it back[1]!"

"Bullshit, what does a horse have to do with anything!" the black donkey retorted irritably. "You should say, 'Once spoken, even four donkeys can't take it back!'"

"Alright, alright," Ling Feng rolled his eyes and quickly corrected himself. "Once spoken, even four donkeys can't take it back!"

"I will trust you once!"

The black donkey stepped forward, turned around and gestured towards Ling Feng with its front hoof. It chuckled. "Hehe... Kid, follow me. Don’t be too surprised later!"
