Chapter 1023: Bullshit ‘Benevolence’

Furthermore, the massive wave was extraordinarily odd. As soon as it appeared, all the golden radiance started converging in its direction.

The golden radiance seemed to have materialized.

Roar! They heard the loud roar of a beast. Then, one after another, metallic scales started appearing from the golden radiance.

A vast and ancient aura engulfed the entire world.

“What is that?” Fang Zhengzhi originally thought that the golden radiance was some sort of mechanism, however, he was startled when he heard the roar.

There was a beast in the Black Stone Palace?!

Was it some sort of monster from the Monster Race or Demon Race again?

If that was the case, it’d be too ridiculous. If there were monsters everywhere, how could humans survive? Most importantly, once a monster appeared…

It meant that the entire Black Stone Palace could be a specific monster’s territory. It was even possible that this was the monster’s tomb.

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to identify the monster appearing from the golden radiance.

However, the golden radiance was surrounded by a dense golden fog. It looked like a golden cloud and he couldn’t tell what it was.

He could only see the scales amidst the radiance.

In the meantime, he also sensed an imminent crisis. It felt like a tremendously terrifying existence had locked on to him, and even his ears started hurting.

This was a rare feeling for him.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi believed that he was already powerful enough at his current state. To put it humbly, he had no problem bullying the old folks and the children.

‘What kind of monster could be a threat to me?’

Fang Zhengzhi was puzzled, but his ears were actually hurting, so his head tilted to the left subconsciously.

Then, he saw a sharp claw grazing his hair and slashing past his eyes. It was almost as fast as light.

“Kiddie, how dare you fly in front of me?” He heard a stern and thunderous voice at this moment.

Fang Zhengzhi jolted.

He felt like he was crushed by a towering mountain just like a certain monkey (Sun Wukong in Journey to The West) when he heard that voice.

Boom! Fang Zhengzhi crashed onto the ground together with Yun Qingwu. Even his Black-Golden Wings were compressed by this massive power and became a little smaller.

It didn’t hurt too badly.

However, he felt like his pride was insulted.

‘What the hell was that?!’

‘How is it so powerful!’

As soon as Fang Zhengzhi crashed onto the ground, he wielded Blazing Qilin Spear and stabbed towards the figure in the golden fog without a second thought.

A blazing flame appeared.

The golden radiance suddenly grew much brighter after it encompassed the five-colored radiance of blue, red, black, silver, and green.

The five-colored radiance fused with the golden radiance and turned the sky full of flames into a five-colored flame as well.

Roar! This was also the bellow of a creature, but it came from within the five-colored flame instead. A shadow was somewhat visible within the flame. It had four legs and was covered in flames.

“Eh? A small Qilin?” The stern voice sounded a little surprised when it saw the shadow in the flame. However, it quickly sighed and continued, “It’s just a single drop of blood from a small Qilin. Hmm… Mastering five of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques… Kiddie, you’re pretty good!”

Boom!

As they heard that stern voice, there was a loud bang due to the clash between Blazing Qilin Spear and the figure in the golden fog.

A violent aura rampaged in the surrounding area.

A sharp whistling sound shook the entire ground. Ripple-like air blasts expanded in all directions and slowly whittled down the golden fog.

However, it could merely whittle it down.

Nevertheless, the rough outline of the figure became visible.

It was a gigantic beast that was glowing with a golden light. It was covered in golden scales that were as chilling as metal.

There were two antlers on his head.

His two long and golden whiskers were floating in the air.

He had four claws, each holding on to a ball of golden fog. His golden eyes were quietly fixated on Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu.

The creature was cold and arrogant.

“A dragon!” Fang Zhengzhi widened his eyes.

He saw dragons before – in paintings and on the dragon pillars in the palace of Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, apart from that, he witnessed Emperor Lin Mubai using the ‘Green Dragon Eye’. He could even turn his own sword radiance into a purple dragon.

Its name was – Dragon Slayer Slash.

However, the dragons on the paintings, his sword move, and all the other dragons he had seen before were only ‘dragonesque’.

On the other hand, the gigantic beast in front of him with the chilling scales and the sharp and terrifying claws was obviously a real dragon.

A real dragon!

‘Am I seeing things?!’

‘Do dragons really exist in the world? Furthermore, did a dragon just appear in the Black Stone Palace out of nowhere, right in front of my eyes?’

“I’m sorry, I want to rinse my face because I am seeing things. Goodbye!” After Fang Zhengzhi caught a good look of the creature in front of him, he immediately turned around and pulled Yun Qingwu towards the entrance that they came from.

“Kiddie, since you’re already here, do you think that this is a toilet? Do you think you can come and go as you wish?” The Golden Dragon moved and turned into a stream of light.

In the next instance, his body was already blocking the exit of the cave.

He was extraordinarily fast.

At the very least, he was faster than Fang Zhengzhi.

“Haha…” Fang Zhengzhi was stumped. Then, he smiled and said, “I didn’t expect to run into such a humorous dragon here. I have a question, how much do I have to pay to use the toilet?”

“Kiddie, you’re pretty smart. I don’t want money. Leave the 28 Maps of Access to Heaven behind and you may leave.” The Golden Dragon was smiling as well.

However, his smile was obviously a little chilly. Both his sharp fangs and his whiskers gave off a chilling air.

“What maps? I’ve never heard of them before.” Fang Zhengzhi was inwardly stunned.

‘This Golden Dragon actually knew about the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven? Furthermore, he can tell at a single glance that I have 28 of them?’

‘This is too freaky.’

Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t figure out how the dragon knew that he had the maps. However, he knew that an innocent man would still be persecuted for possessing items of exceptional value.

“This dragon is asking you for “Guangling Painting”, which is the one that I created with 28 of the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven. Isn’t it with you?” Yun Qingwu chimed in at an ‘appropriate’ moment.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi froze.

‘How do I sing that song?’

‘Piggie, you have two holes on your nose. Mucus hangs around your nose when you catch a cold. Piggie, you have pitch-black eyes. No matter how far you looked you can’t see the edge of the sky. Piggie, your ears are so big…’

‘Who’s an example of ‘pig-like teammates’?’

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t even want to mention any names because Yun Qingwu had already illustrated that term perfectly with her IQ of 189.999.

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse.

‘What the hell!’

A dragon suddenly appeared and knew that he had the Maps of Access to Heaven at a single glance. Moreover, he even knew accurately that he had 28 of them.

‘Damn it!’

‘Is this dragon a devil?’

Most importantly, Yun Qingwu, who had agreed to fight alongside him, actually decided to backstab him at such a critical moment.

The plot twist happened too suddenly.

Fang Zhengzhi felt that he needed some time to get accustomed to the change.

“Oh, you want “Guangling Painting”? Sure, I do actually have it. However… I haven’t gone to the toilet yet. Can I pass it to you after I’m done?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Golden Dragon blocking his way and put on an ‘innocent and naive’ smile.

“That’s ok, I’m not in a hurry.” The Golden Dragon nodded.

“Then… Can you let me through?”

“No, you can only leave after you’ve gone to the toilet.”

“…”

‘For goodness sake, is it really acceptable for a dragon to be so humorous? What happened to the cold-blooded and ruthlessness that I’ve heard about? Although he’s so powerful, he is actually a benevolent dragon?’

‘Wait a minute!’

‘A benevolent dragon?!’

Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the Golden Dragon in front of him and recalled how he had tried to claw him when he just appeared and how he attacked him with his spear just now.

It seemed like…

This Golden Dragon was actually benevolent.

He wasn’t ruthless at all. He only reacted ‘passively’ to his attacks and then took the opportunity to counterattack. Apart from the thunderous roar that sent him crashing onto the ground, the dragon didn’t actually hurt him.

Most importantly, he actually started joking with him about ‘toilet usage fee’. This dragon was way too benevolent.

‘This style didn’t seem right…’

‘This was supposed to be a ‘hot-blooded’ fantasy novel, so how did it become a comedy all of a sudden?’

“Kiddie, do you want to go to the toilet yourself, or do I have to whoop your ass and throw you into the toilet?” The Golden Dragon spoke once again after he saw Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changing rapidly.

“…”

‘So, the style has reverted back after all, huh?’

‘It was so direct and violent.’

‘What happened to the benevolent dragon?’

Fang Zhengzhi held on tight to the Blazing Qilin Spear.

There was an occupation in the West called the ‘Dragon Rider’. It was unlikely for him to tick that off his bucket list in this lifetime, but he could learn from his ancestors in the East and become a ‘Dragon Slayer’.

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to take a huge gamble, Yun Qingwu suddenly said something.

“A real ancient dragon with a golden body and four claws… You know about the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven and you even have such a sharp sense for their presence. Senior Dragon, can you tell me if your last name is ‘Xuanyuan’?” As Yun Qingwu said that, she actually took a step forward and stood in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hmm?” A flash appeared in the dragon’s eyes. Then, he slowly lowered his massive head and approached Yun Qingwu.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t move.

Since she had backstabbed him, he didn’t mind backstabbing her too. He wouldn’t feel guilty about it at all.

Yun Qingwu backstabbed him once, so in return, he would backstab her at least a hundred times or so.

However, to his surprise, the Golden Dragon didn’t attack Yun Qingwu. He simply came close to her and sniffed her gently.

“Kiddie, you smell a little weird. Not only do you smell like one of my kinds, but you also exude a smell that I hate…” The Golden Dragon slowly rose up and hovered in the air. It looked like he was stepping on clouds with the golden fog around him.

“Senior Dragon, you haven’t answered my question yet.” Yun Qingwu continued.

“Why do I have to answer your question?”

“If you are willing to answer my question, then, I could answer your questions too.” Yun Qingwu wasn’t surprised to hear his reply and she still looked calm and collected.

“Haha… How much would a kiddie know?” The Golden Dragon was a little surprised, but it still seemed interested in her and shot her a glance.

“I know everything that you don’t.” Yun Qingwu looked confident.

“Oh?” The Golden Dragon’s eyes lit up once again, and he started taking Yun Qingwu seriously. “Ok, then I’ll give you a chance. If you could answer three of my questions, I’d answer yours. However, if you can’t answer them, I’ll have to kill you.”

“Please, ask away.” Yun Qingwu replied calmly. She didn’t seem to be surprised by the Golden Dragon’s words at all, as if she didn’t hear his last sentence.

“Kiddie, you’re pretty courageous. I’ll test your wits with the first question. The question is simple: What’s the difference between humans, Monsters, Demons, and Gods?” The Golden Dragon nodded and asked his first question.

“There is no difference between them.” Yun Qingwu answered without a second thought.

“Oh? Explain your answer.”

“God is a title that is used to describe humans, Monsters, or Demons that have become sufficiently powerful. A man can become a God, and so can a Monster or a Demon. As long as he is well-respected, made significant contributions, and the future generations record his deeds and worship him, he would be considered a God. Hence, there is no fundamental difference between humans, Monsters, Demons, and God.” Yun Qingwu explained her answer after some consideration.

“I didn’t expect you to be so full of wit despite your young age. Although your answer is different from what I have in mind, I’d consider that as an acceptable answer.”

“Thank you, Senior Dragon.” Yun Qingwu bowed to the Golden Dragon.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi was pretty startled. He truly didn’t expect this benevolent Golden Dragon to be so easygoing.

‘Even a wrong answer can be considered right?’

‘In that case, I could answer the questions too.’

This was too easy.

It was all about spewing bullshit, and he was naturally better than Yun Qingwu in that aspect.

“You don’t have to thank me right now since you still have to answer two questions. If you get either one of them wrong, you would die.” The Golden Dragon shook his head and rejected Yun Qingwu’s attempt at creating a ‘friendly relationship’. Then, he looked towards her again and said, “I’ll ask the second question now.”

“Wait a minute.” Fang Zhengzhi chimed in at the ‘appropriate’ time.

He decided to backstab Yun Qingwu again because given how benevolent this Golden Dragon was, he would be giving out treasure soon if the story developed as per normal.

After all, he had seen many stories like this in his previous life.

For example, that classic story that had been passed down for many centuries.

‘Oh, kind farmer, did you drop the gold ax, or did you drop the silver one?’

Even a fool knew that the answer was the steel ax.

“Oh? Kiddie, what do you want?”

“I’d like to answer the second question.” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Yun Qingwu. Then, he stood in front of her unceremoniously.

“Haha, interesting. You’ll answer the second question then. I’ll test your knowledge with the second question. This question is also very simple: There was a master in the Great Xia Dynasty known as the Sagely Battle God, and his name is Meng Tian. Tell me, how did he die?”
