Gate of God Chapter 1024 – What a ‘Shameless Couple’

Chapter 1024: What a ‘Shameless Couple’

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Golden Dragon looked at Fang Zhengzhi silently after asking his question.

Fang Zhengzhi was also looking at the dragon. The two of them were looking at each other intently with merely a couple of steps between them.

This was a heartwarming scene.

However, Fang Zhengzhi had an urge to leap up, grab the dragon, and crush his balls.

‘Knowledge?’

‘What kind of bullshit knowledge is that?’

He wasn’t even born when Sagely Battle God Meng Tian died. Furthermore, Great Xia Dynasty was extremely secretive about the records of Sagely Battle God Meng Tian’s deeds.

Sagely Battle God Meng Tian was most notably known for chasing after Demon Lord Si Kong by himself, killing him in Blood Shadow City with a single strike, and leaving behind a cut that split the city into two.

Besides that…

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t really know much about him.

Even though he had entered World of the Sage, there weren’t any records about Meng Tian inside. The only thing left was a sword.

So, how exactly did Sagely Battle God Meng Tian die?

Such f*cking bad luck.

When it was Yun Qingwu’s turn, she only had to answer a ‘discussion question’, and she could get it right even with an ambiguous answer. However, it became a ‘fill in the blank’ type of question when it came to his turn.

There was only one answer to this question.

‘Is the world even fair?’

After waiting for a short while, the Golden Dragon realized that Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t going to say anything, and he asked impatiently, “You can’t answer the question, can you?”

Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to reply with ‘Duh’.

How could he possibly know how did Sagely Battle God Meng Tian die?

He wasn’t Zhuge Kongming reincarnated, so he couldn’t simply just ‘work it out’. However, since things had come so far, he could no longer back out.

‘Make up a random story?’

‘He died of old age?’

‘He died of stupidity?’

‘He froze to death from drinking cold water?’

None of them seemed like the right answer. Since the dragon raised this question, it probably knew the answer. Therefore, if he simply went with a random answer, he might die.

‘Wait a minute.’

‘Why does he know about Sagely Battle God Meng Tian?’

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly looked towards Yun Qingwu. Then, he discovered that Yun Qingwu was also looking at him. However, her expression was calm as water.

It was as if she was saying, “Answer the question. Go ahead and answer the question if you can.”

“Can you give me some hints?” Fang Zhengzhi looked away from Yun Qingwu and turned towards the Golden Dragon.

“…”

“…”

Both the Golden Dragon and Yun Qingwu were stumped.

That was because neither of them had ever expected Fang Zhengzhi to ask for hints so ‘explicitly’ under such circumstances.

Did he think that this was a teacher testing his student?

“Hahaha…” The dragon started laughing so hard that even the golden fog around him began shaking. Fang Zhengzhi made him so mad that he started laughing. “Kiddie, you really have balls, don’t you? I’m asking you a question, but you dare to ask me for hints? Interesting, I’ll tell you now that there will be no hints. If you can’t answer the question, you’ll die.”

“Aren’t you asking too much of me if you aren’t going to give any hints?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little speechless. He had actually thought that it was a benevolent dragon, but in the end, he kept talking about killing him.

“Hurry up and answer the question!”

“Wait a minute. What’s the rush? I’m not even in a hurry.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

“…”

“…”

Both Yun Qingwu and the Golden Dragon were rendered speechless.

Fang Zhengzhi simply went back to Yun Qingwu’s side and poked her arm gently.

His intentions were extremely clear. He wanted hints.

However, Yun Qingwu purposely acted like she didn’t see anything, and even turned her head to the side.

“You don’t know the answer either, do you?” Fang Zhengzhi started taunting her.

“How can I possibly not know the answer?” Yun Qingwu responded nonchalantly.

“I don’t believe you.” Fang Zhengzhi looked at her scornfully.

“…” Yun Qingwu didn’t reply.

On the other hand, the Golden Dragon was getting impatient. He had seen cheaters in the past, but not one that would blatantly cheat right in front of the invigilator.

Did Fang Zhengzhi really think that he’s blind?

Most importantly, he didn’t even succeed in cheating!

Roar! The Golden Dragon bellowed angrily and swept his massive tail towards Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu.

Fang Zhengzhi was shocked.

He carried Yun Qingwu in one arm and fell back towards the wordless tombstone.

“If you don’t answer the question now, both of you will die.” He gave them a final warning.

“Did you hear that? If I can’t answer the question, you’ll also die. Why don’t you give me some hints since we are both in the same boat? Do you really want to die here?” Fang Zhengzhi immediately conveyed the Golden Dragon’s message to Yun Qingwu after hearing him.

“…” Yun Qingwu’s lips moved, but she was actually at a loss for words.

In terms of shamelessness, Fang Zhengzhi was leagues ahead of her.

It was Fang Zhengzhi who wanted to backstab her, but he ended up sabotaging himself too. Yet, at this moment, he could ask her for hints with a straight face as if he was in the right.

How could a person be so shameless!

Yun Qingwu was speechless, but she actually couldn’t do anything to him. After all, it seemed like Fang Zhengzhi had successfully gotten her into trouble once again.

Feeling helpless, she could only extend her finger and scribble two words on Fang Zhengzhi’s hand quickly.

‘Suicide!’ Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up. Then, he turned around towards the Golden Dragon, signaled for him to stop, and said, “Meng Tian killed himself!”

“Hmm?!” The Golden Dragon’s massive tail stopped moving. His gaze bounced back and forth between Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu, but the golden aura around him eventually calmed down. “Sagely Battle God Meng Tian was incredibly powerful, why would he kill himself?”

“I’m sorry, that’s not part of the question, so I won’t answer it.” Fang Zhengzhi rejected his additional question without any consideration.

“…” The Golden Dragon froze, and his aura became violent once again.

“Senior Dragon, if you don’t mind, you could make that the third question and I’ll answer it.” Yun Qingwu finally said something at this moment.

“Make it the third question?”

“That’s right. You are testing us to see if we could answer the questions on your mind. The first two questions tested our wits and knowledge. Therefore, the third question must be a test of our courage and strength. You’ve already seen our strength, and I believe… You’ve gotten a taste of our courage too.” Yun Qingwu stopped talking at this moment as if she had left the decision to the Golden Dragon on purpose.

“Hahaha… You’re pretty good at playing mind games. Alrighty then, I’ll take your suggestion. Tell me, why did Meng Tian kill himself?” The Golden Dragon started laughing after he heard Yun Qingwu.

“It’s very simple – He had to die.” Yun Qingwu said confidently.

“Go on.”

“After Meng Tian killed Emperor Si Kong with a single move, delivering a crushing defeat to the Demon Race and brought glory for mankind, Great Xia Dynasty’s ambitions would definitely start to grow.”

“Ok, keep going.”

“Great Xia Dynasty ordered Meng Tian to command an army, slaughter the Demon Race, invade Blood Shadow City and destroy the Demon Race once and for all. However, Meng Tian couldn’t do that.”

“Why not? From what I knew, Meng Tian wasn’t merciful.”

“That’s because of the Monsters that lived deep within the mountains. No matter how strong Meng Tian was, he couldn’t possibly kill all the masters of the two races. He knew that there would only be two outcomes if he attacked the Monster Race. Either the Monster Race and Demon Race would join forces and launch a counterattack against mankind, or the Monsters would initiate a sneak attack on the humans while they are busy with the Demon Race. Either one of these two scenarios would become a massive disaster for mankind, so he had to live in seclusion.”

“Live in seclusion? Then why would he kill himself?”

“Meng Tian thought that he could avoid the worldly conflicts if he lived in seclusion. However, he didn’t know that once an emperor’s ambitions started growing, he would never tolerate the possibility of any mishaps. The emperor threatened him by holding his family members hostage, and Meng Tian couldn’t say no. Therefore, he had to kill himself in order to get out of this situation and keep his children safe. This was the secret history of Meng Tian and it wasn’t recorded by Great Xia Dynasty. Even I couldn’t prove the validity of this story.”

“You really know your stuff.”

“Senior Dragon, does that mean that we’ve passed the test?” Yun Qingwu’s eyes lit up when she heard that and she took a step forward once again.

She subconsciously glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing beside her, because she wanted to know if she could find any sign of ‘shame’ or similar emotions in Fang Zhengzhi’s expression. However, she was obviously going to be disappointed.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t ashamed of himself at all.

In fact, he also took a step forward as well as if nothing had happened. He totally intended to let bygones be bygones.

Since it was over, just let it go.

What was the point in arguing about the past?

“Alright, we’ve passed the test now. You can give me all your treasures.” Fang Zhengzhi stuck his hand out towards the Golden Dragon as he said that.

“Treasures?” He was stumped.

“Are you telling me that you don’t any treasures?” Fang Zhengzhi was also stumped.

“…”

“…”

The increasingly harmonious atmosphere became a little awkward once again.

The Golden Dragon was furious.

‘How dare a human ask a dragon for treasures?’

‘Doesn’t he know what’s a dragon’s favorite thing?’

Fang Zhengzhi was also extremely mad. He tried so hard to answer the question, so he expected a basketball-sized night pearl at the very least, even if the dragon couldn’t give him a mountainous pile of treasures.

However, there was nothing.

The dragon was definitely being selfish.

He was just about to vent his anger when he saw Yun Qingwu blinking at him nonstop. Her beautiful eyes almost felt fiery.

‘Blinking? What does that mean? Is she flirting with me?’ Fang Zhengzhi shook his head to signal that he didn’t understand her message. He wanted her to be more direct.

Then, Yun Qingwu did just as he intended.

She moved her finger and pointed at the wordless tombstone.

“The wordless tombstone?” Fang Zhengzhi was startled. He connected that to the question just now and thought to himself, ‘Is she trying to say that this place… Is Sagely Battle God Meng Tian’s tomb?’

‘That doesn’t make sense!’

‘No matter how secretive his history was, it can’t possibly fly up into the galaxy, can it?’

‘Wait a minute.’

‘If the wordless tombstone isn’t Meng Tian’s, then whose tombstone is it?’

“Senior Dragon, shouldn’t you answer my question now?” After blinking at Fang Zhengzhi continuously for a short while, Yun Qingwu was confident that Fang Zhengzhi had completely understood her message, so she turned towards the Golden Dragon again.

He flew around the air and then back to Yun Qingwu, and replied, “You can only ask a single question.”

“It’s the same question. Can you tell me if your last name is Xuanyuan?” Yun Qingwu wasn’t surprised by his reply, and she insisted on asking the same question.

“Kiddie, are you sure that that’s your question for me?” The Golden Dragon seemed like it didn’t want to answer her question, and his golden eyes flickered.

“Yes.” Yun Qingwu affirmed.

“Kiddie, you’ve also answered my question just now. Given your… Spectacular… Performance, I believe that you also have the right to ask a question. If you have another question, I wouldn’t mind answering your question instead.”

“I am that outstanding?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little astonished.

“Of course, you can choose to ask me about the treasures, for example: Where is the only treasure that is hidden in this palace?” He nodded.

“Haha…” Fang Zhengzhi laughed.

“Ha…” The Golden Dragon was also laughing. His sharp fangs were glowing with a chilling light, and he seemed extremely majestic and arrogant.

Judging by his laughter alone, he wasn’t too ugly.

“Fang Zhengzhi, my question is really critical.” At this point, Yun Qingwu naturally realized that the Golden Dragon was luring Fang Zhengzhi into asking a different question.

“A dragon’s last name is critical? Haha… How could it be more important than treasures?” Fang Zhengzhi despised her, but in the meantime, he subconsciously recalled a children’s song from his previous life.

‘There are antlers on my head and a tail on my back…’

‘Xuanyuan…’

‘The little golden dragon, Xuanyuan?’

‘How important could that be?’

‘Wait a minute, something’s wrong.’

‘Xuanyuan?!’

‘Did Yun Qingwu ask the Golden Dragon if his last name is Xuanyuan?!’

‘Not Xiahou, not Dongfang, not Ximen, and definitely not Nangong…’

Fang Zhengzhi was shocked. He didn’t know why Yun Qingwu wanted to ask the Golden Dragon about his last name. However, if the answer to that question was ‘yes’, then there would really be a story behind the Golden Dragon in front of them.

‘A dragon with the last name ‘Xuanyuan’.’

Fang Zhengzhi glanced around him. Then, he looked at the wordless tombstone, the black rocks around him, and the starry sky and black chains above him.

Mysteries.

Countless mysteries.

There seemed to be a reasonable answer to all of them at this moment.

Of course, that was only if this dragon was actually that dragon.

‘Hmm…’

Yun Qingwu’s question was actually critical.

“Actually, I’d also like to know if the last name of an old Golden Dragon that has lived for tens of thousands of years, who seems to be trapped here, guarding this tomb, yet appears to know about everything that has happened in the world, is actually ‘Xuanyuan’.” Fang Zhengzhi slowly spoke while the Golden Dragon was smiling eagerly.

“Hahaha….” The Golden Dragon froze, then, he started laughing so hard that the golden fog and the ground began shaking. “What a shameless couple. You don’t even want the ultimate treasure that everybody seeks. Instead, you want to know my last name?! Damn you… DAMN YOU!”
