Chapter 592: Good Donkey!
Chapter 592: Good Donkey!
"Who dares trespass on Wangduan Mountain!"
The people were clearly startled, not expecting outsiders to suddenly intrude. They immediately raised their lanterns, which floated into the air and glowed with chaotic nine-colored rings of light. This energy was different from the five elements of heaven and earth and possessed a strange and unique power.
This energy was probably the Tiance power that Tuoba Cheng had mentioned.
"Don't attack! It's me, Tuoba Cheng!"
Tuoba Cheng quickly waved at the Tiance Clan members opposite him. When he saw a young girl around eleven or twelve years old, he immediately smiled and said, "Little Yuer, it's me, it's really me!"
“Huh?" The girl on the other side, who still had a bit of baby fat and a slightly naive look, blinked her bright eyes and then squinted as she smiled. "Brother Longchuan, it's really Brother Cheng!"
"Tuoba Cheng!"
The oldest man in the green robe at the front carefully scrutinized Tuoba Cheng. Indeed, he sensed the presence of Tiance power from him. But because Tuoba Cheng was dressed in the attire of the outside world and had been gone for three years, it took him a moment to recognize him.
"Haha, it really is Tuoba Cheng!"
Tuoba Longchuan laughed heartily as he quickly approached with five clan members behind him. He gave Tuoba Cheng a solid punch on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's been three years!"
"Yes, three years!"
Tuoba Cheng returned the punch with a grin. "So, how has the Grand Elder been these past few years? Is everyone doing well?"
"Hmph, with that old scoundrel Hei Yu around, how could things be good?"
Before Tuoba Longchuan could respond, the little girl named Tuoba Yuer behind him puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "Brother Cheng, you have no idea. That old scoundrel..."
"Little Yuer, stop speaking recklessly!"
Tuoba Longchuan turned and glared at the girl. "Elder Hei Yu is still an elder of our clan. How can you speak so carelessly!"
"But it's true!" Tuoba Yuer stuck out her tongue, looking aggrieved.
"Did something happen in the clan?" Tuoba Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Ah, it's nothing serious." Tuoba Longchuan clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Let's go back first, and we'll talk later."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ling Feng and the despicable donkey. His pupils constricted as if recalling something, and he asked, "Cheng, who might this be?"
Tuoba Cheng clenched his fists, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "This is Ling Feng! Longchuan, three years ago, the Grand Elder sent me to find the prophesied one. And now, I have fulfilled my mission!"
"He's the prophesied one!?" Tuoba Longchuan sized Ling Feng up from head to toe. "He... Can he really help our clan open the imperial tomb?"
"Of course! This was foretold by the Grand Elder himself. The Grand Elder's Tianheng Profound Art is incredibly powerful; he couldn't have been wrong!" Tuoba Cheng said confidently.
"Sigh..." Tuoba Longchuan glanced at Tuoba Cheng, seeming hesitant to speak. In the end, he only sighed lightly and gritted his teeth. "Let's hope so.
"Come, let's go see the Grand Elder first."
Tuoba Longchuan spoke in a deep voice, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Outrageous! Tuoba brat, how dare you not introduce this great divine beast? I’m such an important figure!"
The despicable donkey had been expecting to be introduced last, as the grand finale, even having prepared a striking pose. However, Tuoba Longchuan merely glanced at him before quickly moving on. Although a bipedal donkey was indeed strange, in his eyes, this black donkey was probably just a demonic pet.
A demonic pet, no matter how powerful, was still just a pet.
This greatly wounded the despicable donkey's pride. He glared angrily at Tuoba Cheng.
"Em..." Tuoba Cheng instantly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "This is Lord Divine Donkey, a great divine beast! Don't be fooled by his appearance; he's a demon emperor!"
"What do you mean by 'appearance'? What's wrong with it?"
The despicable donkey was furious. He kicked Tuoba Cheng over with one hoof, took a step forward with a prideful look, and declared, "Listen up, all of you! This divine beast is none other than the supreme Lord Divine Donkey! As for the so-called prophesied one, he's merely my little brother! Hmph!"
"..."
The Tiance Clan members present were all dumbfounded.
A talking donkey?
And a demon emperor?
But Tuoba Yuer squinted her eyes, took a closer look at despicable donkey, and, with great interest, approached him. She stood on tiptoe, barely reaching despicable donkey's shoulder, and patted the little Qiongqi perched there. She giggled and said, "Wow, so cute!"
It turned out that her attention had been drawn to the little Qiongqi on the despicable donkey's shoulder from the start.
The despicable donkey gritted its teeth and pushed its long face right in front of Tuoba Yuer, roaring in anger, "Damn it, show some respect to this divine beast!"
"..."
Tuoba Yuer was stunned for a moment, but then gently reached out her soft hand to pat the despicable donkey on the head while giggling, "Good donkey."
Good... Donkey!?
The despicable donkey nearly coughed up blood on the spot.
A dignified demon emperor, being teased by a little girl—was this a form of humiliation?
"Ahem!"
Seeing that the despicable donkey was about to lose it, Ling Feng quickly stepped forward while chuckling. "This Lord Divine Donkey is indeed a demon emperor and also our friend."
"Hehe..."
Tuoba Cheng could feel the cold sweat soaking through his clothes. After three years, little Yuer is still as carefree as ever!
"Hmph!"
The despicable donkey crossed its hooves over its chest and snorted. It shot a vicious glare at Tuoba Yuer and coldly said, "Little girl, if this happens again, I'll twist your head off!"
"Why? Donkeys eat grass, don't they?" Tuoba Yuer asked curiously.
"You're the one who eats grass! Your whole family eats grass!"
The despicable donkey went completely berserk, jumping up and down in fury.
"Hehe, Yuer does like eating vegetables. Mommy says that eating more greens is good for your health."
"..."
The despicable donkey twitched, its hooves trembling.
Who would have thought that after roaming the world for hundreds of years, it would be rendered speechless by a little girl.
"Ahem..." Tuoba Longchuan discreetly wiped his sweat and quickly stepped forward. "Senior Demon Emperor, little Yuer is just a child. Please don't take her words to heart."
"If this divine beast took it to heart, her head would have been rolling by now!"
The despicable donkey snorted coldly and arrogantly stood to the side, choosing to ignore the little girl.
"Thank you for your generosity, Senior."
Tuoba Longchuan turned to Ling Feng and said calmly, "Mr. Ling Feng, please follow us."
"Thank you."
Ling Feng cupped his fists in a gesture of respect. Judging from Tuoba Longchuan's expression, something must have happened on Wangduan Mountain.
This trip would likely not be smooth. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Under Tuoba Longchuan's lead, the group headed towards the eastern city.
After everyone left, two more Tiance Clan members in gray robes emerged. The one on the left gasped, "Why did they have to bring back that damned prophesied one at such a critical time!?"
"Anyway, let's report to Elder Hei Yu first."
"Yes, report to Elder Hei Yu first!"
In the next instant, their figures vanished like smoke in the blink of an eye.
