Chapter 395: Chapter 393: Settling Scores Later
The Black Jade Dragon Head Plaque is very useful.
As soon as it was taken out, the Dog Clan guard officer immediately knelt to the ground and asked Sally to enter the city.
In Chenxiong Ancient Town, the streets were bustling and broad, with shops lined up one after another and various members of the Beast Clan everywhere. The sounds of hawkers were incessant… In the Beast World, such a town would not be considered unusual, but this place is the Asura Realm, where such an atmosphere of earthly life is truly rare!
On Sally’s shoulder sat a black mouse, looking around curiously, its eyes full of wonder.
“Master, you’ve lived for so long, try to act more composed. Everyone’s looking at us,” Sally said with an embarrassed smile.
Qing replied, “They’re looking at you. Since you entered the city, have you seen a single female?”
“Why don’t you say there’s not a single human form?”
“Always backtalking your master.”
“Just stating the facts. But Master, you said that the Asura King is from the Human Clan, yet I can’t see a single human here. Will these members of the Beast Clan listen to him?”
“No matter where it is or which clan it is, the strong are always respected.”
“Then what rank is the Asura King, can Master tell?”
“Rank, or true form, not everything can be determined at a glance; there are disguises. Just like with Master’s rank, can you tell what it is?”
“If Master is from the Ancient Divine Clan, then it must be above the God Realm.”
“Being from the Ancient Divine Clan doesn’t necessarily mean being powerful. The Ancient Divine Clan may live as long as the heavens and earth, but because they have lived too long, they often neglect cultivation. Apart from a trove of antiques, they are far inferior to the new gods.”
“New gods?”
“Yes. Most of the divine beings in the Divine Realm now are new gods, and their strength is not to be underestimated. The Ancient Divine Clan has been suppressed on the fringes.”
“I didn’t know about this. How did these new gods come to be?”
“The New God Era, which began fifty thousand years ago, marks the distinction. The new gods have a lifespan limit, with many living just a few thousand years. Those who live for tens of thousands are a minority, and those over a hundred thousand even more rare.
This is also why they are more passionate about cultivating. The higher the cultivation base, the longer the lifespan.”
“Speaking of which, several of my husbands have lifespans of ten thousand years, and they don’t even have God Rank talent. There are angels, hybrid beasts, Phoenix descendants, Kylin descendants, and Deer Lushoo descendants.”
“These are all inherited bloodlines from the Ancient Divine Clan, which is why they have lifespans passed down from the progenitors. Your Offspring System is formidable, selecting only progenitor bloodline data for breeding.”
“Hmm…” Sally was about to continue talking with Qing when a male Mystic Tiger came from the opposite direction.
The Mystic Tiger is also from the Ancient Divine Clan. Due to its many evil deeds and rampant killing of gods, it was sealed in the Asura Realm.
Hearing Qing’s introduction of the Mystic Tiger’s origin, Sally instinctively moved to the side of the road, clearly indicating her intent to let it pass.
Unless someone was looking for trouble on purpose, people usually stayed out of each other’s way.
But the Mystic Tiger stopped and sized up Sally, “Was it you who used the Black Jade Dragon Head Plaque to enter the city?”
“Uh… yes,” Sally said, taking out the waist plaque once again.
After confirming it, he returned the plaque to Sally and said, “Come with me. You can call me Xuan Zhan, or Boss Xuan works, too.”
“Boss Xuan, I’m Sally.” She could tell he was a big shot and was quite aware of what was appropriate.
Xuan Zhan found Sally more and more to his liking, “How do you know the King?”
Sally was stunned, then looked at Qing.
Qing whispered, “He called you Yanyan, that’s definitely someone you know.”
“Master! What did you say he calls me?” Sally stopped in her tracks, utterly shocked.
Those who called her Yanyan were… were all her Beast Husbands!
“Once you pass through this Teleportation Gate, you’ll arrive at the Asura King Palace,” Xuan Zhan said as he stepped in first.
Sally hesitated, because she couldn’t remember at all who it was…
“You’ll know once you see him,” Qing urged Sally.
“Right.” Guessing wildly was pointless… Hopefully, it’s not an enemy!
The Asura King Palace was solemn and quiet, with the light inside considerably dimmed, as if in twilight. Occasionally, a wind lantern could be seen, dispelling the darkness for several meters around it.
Xuan Zhan had already disappeared.
Sally could only walk along the wide bluish palace path, following the places where there was light.
The sound of each step was exceedingly clear, as if stepping right upon her heart.
Sally asked Qing in a low voice, “There isn’t even a single Palace Attendant here, huh?”
“I’ve heard that when the Asura King left for a while, the Asura King Palace was sealed. After the Asura King returned, he has been shutting himself inside every day without leaving.”
“It’s kind of scary.” The more Sally walked, the more frightened she became.
Suddenly, Xuan Zhan reappeared.
Sally’s taut nerves broke… She screamed out, “Ah—”
After she finished screaming, Xuan Zhan said to Sally, “You must go on alone from here.”
In other words, Qing had to stay here.
Qing immediately jumped off Sally’s shoulder, “It just so happens that master has to go somewhere. After you meet the Asura King and finish your business, just wipe off the lamp, and master will come find you.”
“Oh.” Sally looked at Qing, who ran off into the dimness.
Xuan Zhan watched the direction in which Qing left, somewhat surprised, then followed.
Sally: “…What is all this nonsense?”
Up ahead was a swaying suspension bridge over an abyss that seemed bottomless, making Sally feel apprehensive and too scared to go any farther.
She directly shouted across, “Hey there, Asura King or whoever, I have acrophobia and I’m really scared of walking on such unsupported things. If we’re old acquaintances, let’s meet here. If I’ve mistaken you for someone else, then let’s just part ways here, ah—”
Her body, beyond her control, started to fly up again.
Before it was Qing who threw her into the Creation Nine Abyss; now, it was an unknown force that encircled her, controlling her flight towards the other side of the suspension bridge.
Sally didn’t dare to move. She didn’t know how many hundreds or thousands of sheep she counted in her heart before she finally landed in a hard embrace.
Familiar mask and his good-smelling scent—Sally immediately recognized him, but after being so terrified along the way, her body was still trembling weakly.
She took off his mask and looked at his face, outrageously handsome, and kissed him as if releasing all her pent-up emotions…
Welly had envisioned many scenarios—Sally hitting him, cursing him, resenting him would all do, but he never expected her to kiss him!
Sally tore open his clothes… and took another look at his delectable features, then bowed her head down and bit into him!
…
After a session of unexpected yet extremely satisfying indulgence, Sally started counting the cost.
‘Clang—’ a brand-new washboard fell to the ground, “Kneel down!”
Welly was somewhat helpless but still knelt obediently, letting her deal with him.
“Now tell me, who exactly are you? Human Clan or…?”
“My real name is Jian, from the Demon Clan; it’s just that I have always been in human form, which is why there are rumors I’m from the Human Clan.”
“Then who is Welly?”
“That is my reborn human identity. Do you remember this?” In Welly’s hand appeared a small furry ball.
“Eggy?” Sally had asked Auro before, and he said that on the day she had her child, the little furry ball ran out and never came back.
“It’s my Demon Core.”
“Meow~” The little furry ball meowed at Sally and then jumped onto Welly’s chest and disappeared.
Sally: “…Your Demon Core can leave your body?”
“When I was passing through the heavenly trial, I was attacked by four Evil Beasts. My demon body was damaged, and my Demon Core, which was being tried, fell into the Creation Pool, which is the Creation Nine Abyss where you soaked. At the bottom of the Abyss, there is a space tunnel leading to the outside world, and it followed that tunnel and ended up outside. In order to find it, I had to be reborn and reincarnate.”
“I see.” Sally raised her hand, “Get up then, you’re a king after all. I tell you to kneel and you really do.”
“…”
