Chapter 4738: Heart's Bitter
"That humanoid Saint Beast was originally an ancient remnant; it's not an invader from outside." The Heavenly Dao said with conviction, "See, even though it's incredibly fierce, it was actually just woken up. It's quite innocent, isn't it?"
Xuanhuang: ...
"It's like you, if you're sleeping soundly and suddenly get woken up, you'd also have a bit of a temper, wouldn't you?"
Xuanhuang: Holy crap, I really believed your nonsense.
This "temper" almost killed my disciple and her group, alright?
"Now, now, this Saint Beast, we really can't interfere in dealing with it. Ah, it's very innocent, you see." The Heavenly Dao wiped away old tears, making a pitiful face, discussing with Xuanhuang.
"It was originally dormant in the seabed abyss. It probably wouldn't have woken up for another thousand years."
"But some people with ulterior motives summoned it and even sprinkled it with frenzy-inducing liquid."
"If it were to wake up now, the first one it'd want to kill would definitely be the person who summoned it and sprayed it with that liquid."
"What's with all this nonsense? What are you trying to say?" Xuanhuang asked angrily, kicking the Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao: My old heart is bitter!...
"Now, now, what I mean is. I can take care of those cultivators who invaded from the Divine Realm for your disciple!"
"But!" The Heavenly Dao's words took a turn, "You also have to promise me not to interfere with that Saint Beast. That Saint Beast is very innocent."
"So I'm supposed to just watch that human-snake kill my disciple and her group??"
"You must believe in destiny," the Heavenly Dao raised a finger and pointed upwards, "How could your disciple possibly be killed by a mere Saint Beast!"
"You know, I know, Heaven knows, and Earth knows what kind of person with great destiny your disciple is! Now, now, a young girl needs to go through some trials to truly grow and bear fruit, right?"
"Scram!!" Xuanhuang roared and punched the Heavenly Dao in the eye.
The Heavenly Dao's eye immediately swelled up.
Fortunately, it was formless and shapeless. It wiped its eye, and it returned to its original appearance.
"You can't be so vulgar and violent!" The Heavenly Dao was furious, extending its fist and rapping Xuanhuang's head hard twice. "This old man is negotiating with you! Negotiating! You bastard, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit instead!"
Xuanhuang: !
"My forfeit, my forfeit, your sister's forfeit!" As soon as the Heavenly Dao's words fell, Xuanhuang transformed into a terrifying tyrannosaurus, grabbing the Heavenly Dao and throwing it left and right, punching and kicking. "You old bastard, quickly remove these heavenly chains from me! Otherwise, I'll turn your heavens upside down!"
"Ouch, ouch, ah! Ah, ah, ah, defying heaven, oh dear. Argh! Stop, stop hitting! Stop hitting, you hear me!"
Xuanhuang's short temper flared. Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Dao in front of her, she'd beat it first and talk later.
Fortunately, it was still bound by hundreds of invisible heavenly chains from the Heavenly Dao, so its movements weren't as nimble...
After a thorough beating, the Heavenly Dao whimpered miserably a few times, then scrambled away from the tyrannosaurus.
"Xuanhuang, I'm telling you, don't take advantage of this old man's affection for you, you, you can't be, be so disrespectful to me!"
"No, no, no, don't come closer!" The Heavenly Dao's eyes widened. It extended a hand to block Xuanhuang and said in alarm, "Fine, fine."
"You, you tell me, what, what should be done? Just, as long as you don't bring Nitian to mess around and kill that Saint Beast, I, I'll agree to anything you want."
