Chapter 568: Chapter 569: All Are Schemes
After leaving the banquet, Luo Bu discarded his disguise and hurried to Ruhua’s tree house, his face distorted in cruel desperation.
A surge of anger swelled within him, a feeling of suffocation cast a shadow about to swallow him whole.
Luo Bu couldn’t understand. He had made sure that Yadang had consumed the Heart Devouring Grass, so why was he able to awaken his superpower?! Moreover, he had already become a Level 4 Divine Brave Warrior, highlighting his high talent.
He wondered if Yadang still remembered the past, and if he would reveal his relationship with Ruhua...
But considering the current relationship between Yadang and the city lord, even if Yadang did speak out, the city lord might not believe him.
Thinking of this, Luo Bu’s mind eased slightly.
As he approached Ruhua’s tree house, he noticed several figures standing around the tree house.
Luo Bu halted instantly. He hid behind a tree, peering out cautiously only to find that those figures were Beastmen from the Beast Soldier Squad, who were loyal to the City Lord.
He spat, cursing Keli in his heart.
Luo Bu realized that he could not openly visit Ruhua and decided to retreat and consider other alternatives.
Just as he was about to leave, a lofty voice sounded from behind, "Yo~ Where is our priest headed off to?"
Luo Bu’s heart skipped a beat!
He squinted, turned around and glared at the individual who had startled him. He angrily spat out the name, "Yadang!"
"To be remembered by Upper Beast City’s great priest, I am truly honored!"
Yadang’s tongue touched the back of his teeth as he stared back with an unconcerned grin.
Luo Bu snorted. He had no fear of what Yadang might do to him here, after all, this was Upper Beast City.
"Hmph! Stop grinning at me! Why are you here? What are your intentions in Upper Beast City?"
With an innocent blink, Yadang responded, "I don’t understand, Priest. Upper Beast City is my home. Why can’t I return?"
Luo Bu turned his head and spat, his muscles twitching in anger, "You are nothing but an abandoned cub brought back by your so-called parents. You don’t even know who your father is. How dare you claim that Upper Beast City is your home?"
Yadang’s face suddenly fell.
He lunged forward, gripping Luo Bu by the neck, and growled, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean I was picked up? Are you not telling the truth about your affair with Ruhua because you fear I’ll tell our father? You slander me because I’m his cub!"
With reddening eyes, Yadang roared, his grip on Luo Bu’s neck tightening.
"This is all part of your scheme, your scheme! Don’t think you can fool me again, do you think I am still the unknowing cub from before?"
Luo Bu’s face turned a dark purple from the suffocation. He strived to keep his eyes wide open, his mouth agape, trying to utter a word, but his labored breathing denied him any coherent speech.
His clenched fists weakly pounded Yadang’s arm, hit, after hit, after hit.
Yadang released all the resentment he had built over the years. Slowly, his rationality returned.
Noticing Luo Bu’s eyes rolling back into his head, on the verge of fainting, Yadang slowly let go.
"Huff huff..."
Drawing in breaths of fresh air, Luo Bu gasped greedily.
He suddenly laughed, glaring maliciously at Yadang, like a poisonous snake, "You’re just a demon, no wonder your parents abandoned you! You’re nothing but a forsaken demon, hahaha..."
