Chapter 167: w.a.n.g Hu’s Speed Was Unparalleled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
w.a.n.g Hu said nonchalantly and walked out first.
On the other hand, w.a.n.g Liang instinctively felt an uneasiness rise within him.
He said carefully, “Big Brother, is there something wrong?”
“You’ll find out in a while,” w.a.n.g Hu said calmly.
w.a.n.g Hu took a look at him, and it made w.a.n.g Liang hold his tongue.
He could only wonder to himself anxiously. I didn’t do anything wrong lately.
Is Big Brother going to beat me?
Was it the matter from yesterday?
I don’t think so. Usually, Big Brother only beats me or Old Third when he’s unhappy.
I may have been wrong to say that, but it shouldn’t displease him so much that he wants to beat me.
But if it wasn’t because he wanted to beat me, then why can’t he talk about the matter here?
What was it that was so secretive?
His thoughts ran fast, while his steps followed w.a.n.g Hu dutifully.
Once they were out of the cave, he saw Big Brother wave his hand, and Su Ling—who was not far away—immediately walked over quickly.
“My lord,” Su Ling greeted.
w.a.n.g Hu’s divine power surged, and he carefully brought the two of them to a place more than five kilometers away.
After he put them down, he said with a stern voice, “I’ve brought the two of you here because I trust you, understand?”
w.a.n.g Liang, who was already feeling cautious, and Su Ling, who was uneasy, immediately understood that something bad was about to happen.
They felt bitter; they would rather not have this trust.
Of course, they didn’t dare to say this.
They immediately nodded and appeared to be touched and determined.
w.a.n.g Hu nodded, feeling satisfied, and he said calmly, “Good. I need both of you to help me to think of an idea.”
“Big Brother, what is it?” w.a.n.g Liang asked.
He felt more at ease now. Although the issue was probably very difficult, at least it was better than getting beaten.
At least, he didn’t have to be beaten.
The timid fox thought the same. She opened her eyes wide and listened attentively.
“After the territory expanded, I wanted to conquer an alternate world. This alternate world is quite powerful, and only I can go.
“And the Queen also wishes to go.
“But if both of us go, what will happen to Big Treasure and Little Treasure? Who would protect them?” w.a.n.g Hu said straightforwardly.
w.a.n.g Liang was surprised, and his attention was on that alternate world.
Big Brother wanted to conquer an alternate world; this was huge!
Su Ling, on the other hand, got the main point. She looked at w.a.n.g Liang and said, “Is my lord asking us to find ways to keep Big Treasure and Little Treasure safe?”
w.a.n.g Liang came back to his senses and saw his Big Brother taking a long look at him.
His body trembled slightly, and he immediately s.h.i.+fted his attention to the main point.
“Yes. Or you can try convincing the Queen not to go? If not, think of a way that ensures that Big Treasure and Little Treasure will be safe,” w.a.n.g Hu said calmly.
Either way would work.
w.a.n.g Liang and Su Ling looked at each other, and they communicated wordlessly.
Su Ling: Second Master, you go first.
w.a.n.g Liang: You go first.
Su Ling: Second Master, your status is high; you go first.
w.a.n.g Liang’s eye corner twitched: You go first.
Su Ling was unmoved: Then, we’ll see who King asks first.
w.a.n.g Liang stared at her exasperatedly. Wasn’t that obvious?
Indeed, Old Third was right. This fox was not a good fox.
However, he had no choice. If Big Brother singled him out, then the situation would be worse. He thought for a while and said cautiously, “Big Brother, why not just leave Big Treasure and Little Treasure in the Tiger King’s Cave? Nothing should happen if we take care of them 24/7.”
w.a.n.g Hu glared at him and smacked w.a.n.g Liang’s head. w.a.n.g Hu said with displeasure, “Fool. If it was as simple as that, would I still require you to think of an idea?”
w.a.n.g Liang cried in pain and lamented to himself. I knew that would happen.
Once his Big Brother was out of Sister-in-law’s sight, this jerk would become merciless whenever he got the chance.
Beating them had become habitual for his Big Brother.
He grumbled to himself and showed a sulky expression on his face. Although he knew that it was useless, at least it was better than nothing.
w.a.n.g Hu turned to look at the timid fox, signaling that it’s time for her to speak.
Su Ling looked timid as she glanced at w.a.n.g Liang who was just beaten, and she said cautiously, “My lord, why does the Queen want to go?”
At the same time, she couldn’t help but grumble to herself: the vicious tigress was so troublesome.
“The Queen is combative and compet.i.tive. She doesn’t want to miss such an opportunity,” w.a.n.g Hu said it directly since he still required them to figure out ways.
Su Ling pondered for a moment and suggested, “My lord, there is no better way for this problem. How about telling the Queen directly? She would understand.”
“Sure, how about you go and convince the Queen?” w.a.n.g Hu smiled and looked at the timid fox.
Su Ling immediately shook her head. Asking me to convince the vicious tigress? I don’t dare.
w.a.n.g Hu retracted his smile and snorted, “Then, don’t speak nonsense.”
Su Ling lowered her head timidly.
w.a.n.g Liang saw that Big Brother looked at him again and felt a little aggrieved. Why didn’t Big Brother beat this fox, too? So unfair and biased.
He grumbled to himself again and said seriously, “Big Brother, how about sending Big Treasure and Little Treasure to a remote place, and Old Third and I will take care of them personally.”
w.a.n.g Hu thought for a while and shook his head. He said firmly, “Your Sister-in-law would still be worried.”
He would also be worried.
w.a.n.g Liang was speechless; he could not refute this.
He was also not going to convince Sister-in-law with this solution; he doesn’t want to get a beating again.
Now that Sister-in-law finally wasn’t giving him pointers for a while now, he wouldn’t want to ask for pointers himself.
“Think again,” w.a.n.g Hu said calmly and looked at the timid fox again.
Su Ling gritted her teeth, and traces of mischief flashed before her eyes. She said, “My lord, how about ignoring this matter first? By the time you leave, the Queen would naturally have to stay behind and take care of Big Treasure and Little Treasure.”
As she said, she felt a thrill. In that case, the vicious tigress would definitely be so furious.
w.a.n.g Hu looked pleased with the timid fox. Not bad. She was on his side.
However, Silly Girl was too merciless by threatening him with that move.
“No way.” w.a.n.g Hu rejected the idea and said seriously, “I would be fine, but the two of you who came up with the idea would be in tough luck.
“I’d rather not.”
Su Ling and w.a.n.g Liang were both taken aback and were at a loss for words.
You made us think of ways, and you even want to tell Sister-in-law (the vicious tigress) that it’s us who thought of it!
Immediately, the two of them discarded some ideas.
At the same time, they felt strange. Would Big Brother (the demon lord) be so nice to think in our shoes?
Wouldn’t he just make us the scapegoats?
So strange.
They couldn’t figure out why for now and decided not to think too much about this. After all, it was a good thing for them. They continued to think of more ways.
After a while, w.a.n.g Hu had already rejected a few ideas in a row.
After w.a.n.g Liang’s head was smacked a few more times, he stared at the d.a.m.ned fox, feeling aggrieved. Then, he suddenly thought of an idea.
“Big Brother, what about you and the Queen just bringing Big Treasure and Little Treasure along? With your strength and Sister-in-law a.s.sisting you, there should not be a problem.”
After he finished, he immediately regretted it. This idea was bad; how could they bring Big Treasure and Little Treasure to the battlefield?
If Sister-in-law found out that I came up with this, she would definitely give me a lesson!
As he thought of that, he immediately said, “Big Brother, I’m just spouting nonsense. Let me think of something else.”
Then, he saw that his Big Brother raised his eyebrows and said pensively, “No, this idea might work.”
“Big Brother…” w.a.n.g Liang wanted to say something, but w.a.n.g Hu raised his hand to stop the other.
He smiled and said, “Very good, as expected of my Second Brother, this is a good idea.”
It seemed like a bad idea initially, but with his combat power now and Silly Girl a.s.sisting him by the side, so what if they brought Big Treasure and Little Treasure along?
Even if it might be a little troublesome, with his speed, no one would be able to lay a finger on his family… unless it was a Fourth Realm.
Regardless, Big Treasure and Little Treasure would not be in danger at all.
They could just treat it as bringing the two little fellows on a holiday.
This was the only good idea.
Once he decided, he nodded and said in satisfaction, “Okay, that’s it. Let’s go back.”
w.a.n.g Liang was anxious. “Big Brother, please reconsider! There are other ideas!”
“No need. This is the best method. Otherwise, do you still have other better methods?” w.a.n.g Hu said, feeling calm.
w.a.n.g Liang froze. He couldn’t think of something else.
He paused for a while, gritted his teeth, and pleaded, “Big Brother, can you not tell Sister-in-law that I’m the one who thought of the idea?”
w.a.n.g Hu raised his eyebrows and frowned at Old Second. He smacked w.a.n.g Liang’s head again and said, “What do you think? If you didn’t think of it, then did I?”
Once he finished, he blanketed them with his divine power and brought them back to the Tiger King’s Cave.
He placed them down at the quadrangle, and w.a.n.g Hu walked towards the cave with a spring in his step.
He suddenly paused and said, “Don’t say anything reckless.”
w.a.n.g Hu left behind blatant intimidation and walked into the cave, leaving an aggrieved and helpless w.a.n.g Liang and a gloating Su Ling.
w.a.n.g Liang looked resentfully at his Big Brother’s back and gritted his teeth.
As expected, one shouldn’t have high hopes for this jerk of a Big Brother.
He wouldn’t be my Big Brother if he hadn’t tried to screw me.
Don’t say anything reckless? That’s the same as telling me to just wait for a beating.
Jerk!
“Second Master, I’ll take my leave first,” Su Ling said softly and also walked away with a spring in her step.
She thought she would be in tough luck, but in the end, she walked away safely, while someone else suffered.
It was hard not to gloat.
At least, in the eyes of w.a.n.g Liang, this d.a.m.ned fox was gloating.
He stared resentfully at her and immediately ran in another direction.
I’ll gather a few beasts now and discuss the matter of the territory expanding. In that case, Sister-in-law won’t come and beat me now, right?
In the Tiger King’s Cave…
Hesitation was visible on w.a.n.g Hu’s expression as he walked into the room.
Di Baijun, who sat cross-legged on the bed, opened her eyes and looked at him. She frowned and said, “Do you have a solution now?”
w.a.n.g Hu didn’t answer and walked up to her. Just as he was about to sit on the bed, Di Baijun immediately shot daggers at him.
He said resignedly, “I have an idea, but I’m not sure about it.”
Di Baijun then retracted her piercing gaze and looked expectantly at him.
“I asked Old Second and Su Ling about this, they said…”
“You asked Old Second and Su Ling?! Did you say anything nonsensical?!” Di Baijun’s expression changed, and she frantically interrupted w.a.n.g Hu.
w.a.n.g Hu understood her concerns, and he said with certainty, “Of course, I didn’t. How could I tell someone else about our private life? I only asked them about the matter.”
Di Baijun breathed a sigh of relief. Good.
If this rascal told someone about that, she could not imagine what would happen.
She glared at the rascal who gave her a scare. She swore if he said it to someone, she would never let this rascal on the bed this lifetime.
w.a.n.g Hu continued to say hesitantly, “Old Second came up with an idea. He suggested that we go together and bring Big Treasure and Little Treasure along with us.”
Di Baijun immediately frowned, and her aura turned menacing. She said with displeasure, “Old Second came up with this horrible idea? Big Treasure and Little Treasure are only so small! The alternate world is so dangerous; how can we bring them there?
“This Old Second is more and more outrageous.”
“Yes, I thought the same, too, when I heard the idea.” w.a.n.g Hu immediately agreed. “I told him off on the spot.”
He paused and continued to say hesitantly, “But Old Second said that this was the only solution. And he said that if I’m not confident of protecting Big Treasure and Little Treasure with my current combat power now, then he suggested that I should not conquer that alternate world.
“I thought it was logical when I heard it.”
Di Baijun frowned and looked threateningly at w.a.n.g Hu, “What logic?”
“Think about it… if you a.s.sisted me by the side, protecting Big Treasure and Little Treasure would not be a huge problem to me.
“However, if we can’t even protect Big Treasure and Little Treasure, then that means the power of that alternate world was much too strong for us and therefore not appropriate for us to conquer,” w.a.n.g Hu said earnestly.
Upon hearing that, Di Baijun thought that it seemed to make a little sense.
Still, she was not fully convinced, “No way, it’s too dangerous.
w.a.n.g Hu nodded and continued to say,” Actually, Baijun, with my speed, we don’t have to worry about anything at all.
“Don’t you know how fast I am?”
Di Baijun pursed her lips. She had experienced the rascal’s speed before; it was indeed incredibly fast.
From the way she saw it, his speed was unparalleled in the whole universe, except for a few exceptional geniuses of certain species.
Furthermore, this was just in terms of flying speed. If it was speed in other aspects, w.a.n.g Hu was unparalleled in all of Third Realm.
Sometimes, it was incomprehensible even to her how fast the rascal could be.
His special ability was so strong that it was astounding to her.
“It’s still too dangerous.”
She was silent for a while before finally saying.
w.a.n.g Hu sighed and said, “Actually, I’m not worried about danger, but I’m worried about Big Treasure and Little Treasure’s age. Is it too early to bring them to the battlefield?”
“We would definitely be going through lots of fighting and killing. If they see it…”
Di Baijun frowned and turned her attention to this question.
She pondered for a while and said, “Our tiger species is ultimately different. Although they are still quite small, it’s not wrong to let them witness fighting and killing now.”
w.a.n.g Hu’s gaze flickered. He had not thought about letting the two little fellows witness fighting and killing at such a young age, it was just a casual remark. They could just make them sleep when they fought.
Yet, Silly Girl was so decisive.
