Chapter 277: Beast Tamer Made into a Doll
Liuli Luoluo saw all the catkins flowing into Yu Huang’s body. She said to Sheng Xiao, “We’ll go elsewhere to take a look. Stay here and watch over her.”
Sheng Xiao turned around and cupped his fists at them. “Thank you.” Xuanyuan Chen snorted and turned to leave with Liuli Luoluo.
Feng Tang and the others decided to look elsewhere after saying goodbye to Sheng Xiao.
On the other hand, Donor had not left. He stood in front of Yu Huang with his arms crossed. He looked down at Yu Huang’s face and asked Sheng Xiao, “Do you really have feelings for Yu Huang, or is it for the family’s benefit?”
Donor asked the question seriously this time. He seemed genuinely curious about the answer.
Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang, who was immersed in her cultivation world. His gaze turned deep. He said, “I love her.”
Donor patted Sheng Xiao’s shoulder with a complicated expression. He sighed. “Sheng Xiao, you’re really… a man.”
He fell in love with such an ugly woman. He was a real man.
Donor spread his wings and flew away. Before he left, he said, “I’ll go elsewhere. If anyone finds trouble with you, call me Prince and I’ll come.”
Sheng Xiao shook his head. He sat cross-legged beside Yu Huang and waited for her to finish her cultivation.
Sheng Xiao would not go anywhere until she woke up.
Sheng Xiao noticed that someone was still under the Spirit Gathering Tree. He looked over and saw that it was the old man on the bicycle that they had seen outside the s.p.a.ce transfer station in the Divine Realm Continent.
The old man saw that Sheng Xiao was looking at him. He cupped his fists at Sheng Xiao, then narrowed his eyes and looked down at the Cong Lang Mystic Realm. He said, “I’ve partic.i.p.ated in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm several times. Although this is the first time I’ve successfully broken in, I know that something is wrong in the Cong Lang Mystic Realm…”
His turbid eyes stared at the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower. When he thought of something, he felt a chill down his spine.
Shaking his head, the old man said, “When you come to the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower, just accept the gift of Cong Lang’s power. Why do you have to do those evil deeds…”
Hearing this, Sheng Xiao was reminded of the destroyed Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower.
That’s right. Since Prime Emperor Cong Lang was willing to give his strength to these juniors, the juniors should be grateful to him. However, they wantonly destroyed the mystic realm. This was great disrespect.
…
After leaving the Spirit Gathering Tree, the three thousand beast tamers ran in all directions.
“Hey! There’s an ancient building over there!”
“Let’s go and see if there are any more treasures!”
Hundreds of Beast Tamers charged towards the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower.
When they arrived at the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower’s entrance, they saw that the door was tightly shut. The beast tamers didn’t dare to act rashly. “This Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower should be the loft where rime Emperor Cong Lang collected his treasures.”
“That’s right. Since Prime Emperor Cong Lang is so powerful, the treasures he collects are definitely priceless.”
“Yeah.”
Everyone looked at the building with burning eyes and their hearts thumped wildly. Finally, someone walked out of the crowd and cautiously pushed open the tightly shut door.
The door was opened while under the watch of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
As soon as the door was opened, everyone saw a portrait of a beauty hanging on the wall opposite the door.
Although it was a portrait of a beauty, the beauty on the portrait was not beautiful. She was slightly plump and was wearing a pink dress. Her head of pearl hairpin was shining.
The few beast tamers at the front saw the painting and said, “The Prime Emperor Cong Lang doesn’t have much taste. He actually collected such an ordinary woman’s painting.”
Hearing this, some people laughed loudly, and others said, “This is Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s collection hall, so what it collects are naturally the things he loves. You guys think the person in the painting is ordinary, but it’s fine as long as Prime Emperor Cong Lang likes it.”
Everyone’s collections should be unique.
Some people nodded while others pursed their lips and walked in indifferently.
After entering the main hall on the first floor of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw countless treasures neatly arranged on the ancient shelves in the main hall.
“Good heavens, the treasures here actually haven’t been discovered yet. Hurry up!” Someone shouted, and the people behind rushed to the front of the ancient rack to seize those treasures.
If they encountered anything valuable, they would quickly stuff it into their interspatial ring. They felt that the box occupied s.p.a.ce, so they threw the box away and only took the treasure.
If someone took a fancy to the same treasure, they would fight over it in front of the ancient shelf. During the process, the painting hanging on the wall was thrown to the ground.
Everyone stepped on that painting one after another. Very quickly, the painting was covered in footprints.
After the bookshelf was emptied, the beast tamers quickly ran to the second floor.
On the first floor, all that was left was a mess…
When they reached the second floor, they plundered the second floor.
There was a big lock on the door of the third floor.
Seeing that there was a lock outside the storeroom, someone said, “There’s a lock here. This must be Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s favorite thing.”
And how could a treasure treated by the Prime Emperor be ordinary?
Someone drew his sword and slashed at the metal lock.
That sword was as sharp and cut through the metal lock with one slash. Someone kicked open the door and the door was opened, and a gloomy air rushed out.
The beast tamers standing outside the door were stunned. Then, they put away their flippant att.i.tude and cautiously walked in.
When they entered the third floor collection room and saw the collections on the ancient shelves, everyone was stunned.
“Is that it?”
In the room that Cong Lang treated as a treasure, there were actually some wooden dolls!
Those dolls seemed to be the same person. They were men. Some of the dolls were very handsome and cool, while some of the dolls were demure and cute.
These dolls were most likely Prime Emperor Cong Lang himself.
“Is Prime Emperor Cong Lang so narcissistic?” He locked his woodens doll up because he was afraid that someone would steal it. Prime Emperor Cong Lang was too narcissistic.
However, there was someone who was keen who said, “The beauty in the painting on the first floor is holding a carving knife and wooden doll. Perhaps these dolls are carved by that beauty.”
“Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘Love me, love my dog’? Perhaps Prime Emperor Cong Lang likes that beauty too much, so he cares a lot about her sculptures.”
Everyone felt that this person’s a.n.a.lysis was very reasonable.
Someone rubbed his chin and revealed a lecherous smile. He said, “If that’s the case, then Prime Emperor Cong Lang’s taste is very ordinary.”
“As a mighty Prime Emperor, what kind of beauty can’t he get? He actually fell in love with such an ordinary woman.”
Lie Gang, Yin Rong, and Xiao Shu happened to be in this group as well. Hearing this, Xiao Shu immediately mocked the Beast Tamer. “You’re so superficial! Do Beast Tamers with high cultivation levels have to be matched with beauties? What is the purpose of our cultivation? It’s for the future of the continent, to protect our family, and to love the people we want to love!”
“You think that cultivating to become stronger is to win the heart of a beauty? That’s because you’re shortsighted! It’s his freedom to like and treasure whoever he likes.”
Xiao Shu’s voice was loud and everyone heard him.
The Beast Tamer looked embarra.s.sed. He picked up a doll from the shelf and dropped it.
The doll was very fragile. Its head and body were separated into two pieces.
The Beast Tamer glared at the doll and then looked up to grin at Xiao Shu. He said, “The students of the Divine Realm Academy are morally upright. We are vulgar and lowly, so we naturally can’t compare ourselves to you.”
“I can’t blame you for defending Prime Emperor Cong Lang. That’s right. Didn’t Supreme Master Sheng also find an ugly girlfriend?”
The flesh on Lie Gang’s face twitched when he heard this, and he cursed angrily at that person. “Don’t go tangent. Why has it become a personal attack? Are you looking for a beating?!”
Yin Rong stared at the doll on the ground and suddenly said to Xiao Shu and Lie Gang, “There’s nothing to see here. Let’s go elsewhere to take a look.”
Lie Gang still stubbornly said, “No, I must teach them a lesson today!” Lie Gang rolled up his sleeve and acted like he was about to hit someone.
Yin Rong shouted with a dark expression, “Senior Lie Gang, no one is helping Yu Huang and Professor Sheng. Let’s go see them.”
Hearing this, Lie Gang’s gaze became gloomy, and his att.i.tude was not as tough as before.
Yin Rong grabbed Lie Gang and Xiao Shu’s arms and brought them back. Although Lie Gang was impulsive, he was not brainless. He obediently followed Yin Rong and the others.
After leaving the Cong Lang Mystic Realm, Yin Rong suddenly released Xiao Shu and Lie Gang’s arms. She leaned against the tree trunk weakly and stared at the Cong Lang Mystic Realm’s door. “This building is very strange.”
Xiao Shu frowned and asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Lie Gang was also puzzled.
Yin Rong glanced at them and said, “My Three-Eyed Unicorn is an auspicious beast. Auspicious beasts are extremely sensitive to resentment. From the moment I entered this building, I sensed a strand of resentment.”
Xiao Shu said thoughtfully, “That’s why you didn’t allow us to touch anything after we entered the attic.”
Yin Rong nodded and asked them, “Don’t you find it strange? The Cong Lang Mystic Realm was discovered 300 years ago and has opened 20 times now. The Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower has always been here. There’s no reason why the 19 beast tamers in front of us didn’t discover the existence of these treasures.”
Xiao Shu and Lie Gang nodded at the same time. Xiao Shu said, “I thought of that long ago. So many treasures were placed here. They should have been robbed long ago.”
Lie Gang asked Yin Rong, “Why did you suddenly pull us away just now? Did you discover anything new?”
Yin Rong pursed her lips and said, “Because I noticed that when the Beast Tamer threw the doll to the ground, the doll turned into the Beast Tamer’s appearance!”
Yin Rong recalled the scene she had just seen and couldn’t help but feel her hair stand on end. She stared at the door of the first floor of the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower and said in a low voice, “I guess that group of people can’t come out now…”
As he spoke, Xiao Shu heard a bang. The three of them looked over and saw that the door to the Cong Lang Mystic Realm Tower had been closed.
And there was clearly no one there.
Lie Gang shivered. He touched the gooseb.u.mps on his arms and said, “Let’s go back to Professor Sheng’s place.” They felt that they had a pillar of support with Sheng Xiao around.
“Yes, this place is very strange. It’s safer for us to stay together.”
The three of them quickly rushed towards the Spirit Gathering Tree. At this moment, the blue sky above suddenly became gloomy. Lightning bolts tumbled in the dark clouds, as if they were about to thunder.
Xiao Shu stopped and looked up at the sky above him. “It’s going to rain in the mystic realm?”
Lie Gang said, “If there’s sunshine, there must be rain too.”
Yin Rong said, “Don’t you guys think that this weather doesn’t seem like it’s going to rain, but rather… like lightning tribulation?”
After saying that, Yin Rong’s expression became shocked.
“Yu Huang!”
It was Yu Huang who was about to undergo tribulation!
