YANG LUJIA AND his disciples were having a good time in the Holy Flood Empire, trying out every wine and dish they'd encountered. They left the restaurants with satisfied faces. What was more baffling was that they did not seem so full of what they ate. The three of them were like bottomless pits.
However, they were oblivious to the fact that one of the three was only forced to eat plenty of dishes and drink several types of wine. If not for his cultivation in the Mahayana Emperor Realm, he would have exploded. Naturally, it was the senior brother, Lin Diyu.
"Master, Long Guang eat mor!" Long Guang, sitting on his master's shoulders, was mumbling about eating more meat. It was in his nature as a dragon.
"Yes, we'll first find an inn. Master will go to the void and slaughter a lot of void beasts! We will have a barbecue party later! You two will surely love it so much!" Yang Lujia said as his eyes sparkled when the idea came to mind. "I miss having a barbecue party!"
On the other hand, Lin Diyu, who was walking with them on the streets, looked confused. "Master, what's a barbecue party?"
Upon hearing this question, Long Guang's tiny ears also jerked. "Babekyu partwi?"
"You'll see it later! Let's find a place to stay first!" Yang Lujia told his disciples as they disappeared directly from the spot.
Their sudden disappearance baffled the ones who were staring at them. Soon enough, however, they ignored the 'normal' anomaly. After all, cultivators often do this in the Holy Flood Empire.
When Yang Lujia and his disciples finally found an inn, they entered together. Inside the inn, there was actually a restaurant as well, where cultivators were happily talking with each other. There were also some who were bickering with one another. To their eyes, the inn was quite non-magical. Soon, they retracted their gaze from the others and the inn's inside appearance.
"Miss counter or receptionist whoever you are, is there still a place for us to stay?" Yang Lujia looked at the lady at the counter.
"Ah?" the lady when she saw the faces of the people in front of her.
Although Lin Diyu's face was already disguised, it could not hide his otherworldly appearance.
On the other hand, the ten-year-old kid on top of the man who talked actually had sharp eyes that could kill anyone. If not for the cheerful temperament of the child, she would've trembled in his gaze.
It had to be known that she was already in the Spirit Refinement Realm, so her sense of danger was pretty much higher than the majority. On the other hand, the man who called her strangely was like a mortal and at the same time immortal. As she continued to stare at him, his well-sculptured face made her face slightly turn red.
"Miss counter or receptionist whoever you are?"
"Just call me Bai'er, sir," she said, forcing out a smile.
"Okay, Bai'er, can you answer my first question now?"
"What was that again, sir?"
"Are you deaf?"
"No, sir."
"Recall what I said, then."
Bai'er was about to explode when another man behind the trio appeared. "Hey, kid! Don't treat Ms. Bai like that! You're not even worthy of carrying her shoes, let alone talking to her like that."
Yang Lujia was speechless when he heard the voice. He then turned around and saw the face of the man that was uglier than the bottom of a burnt pot. "An idiot?"
"Huh?" The man looked at him strangely. "Who's an idiot?"
"You?" Yang Lujia replied, while Long Guang squeaked when he heard the master conversing with other people other than him and his senior brother.
The man's dark face eclipsed even more. "What did you just say?"
"Hey, kid! You dare talk to the Young Duke like that! Are you trying to dig your own grave?!" the person from behind the young man.
"Young Duke?"
Seeing the surprised look of Yang Lujia, the young man wore a smug face. "Yes! I'm the Young Duke of the Zhao Mansion! My father is the Duke of this—"
The trio's faces didn't twitch, and they just returned their gaze to Bai'er. On the other hand, the Young Duke seemed to be on the verge of exploding. "You!!"
"Bai'er, is there still any vacant room to stay?"
"You! State your name! Disrespecting a Young Duke is the same as not giving face to the Duke himself. It's a capital crime!"
Yang Lujia still didn't heed the Young Duke's words, while Bai'er looked nervous at the unfolding event.
"Capture him! Take the other two kids as well!"
"Yes, Young Duke!" A man with the breath of a Tribulation Transcending Realm grabbed Long Guang by the shoulders. However, the moment he grabbed the kid, the bones in his hands crackled as if repelled by a more powerful force.
Long Guang then floated above the air, holding the robot Yang Lujia gave him. "Don't tatch Long Guang!!!" Out of impulse, Long Guang almost threw the robot at the man when he stopped and looked at this toy. He remembered that his master told him to treasure this toy, thus, he halted and stared at the man who touched him. "Yu! Tatch! Kill!"
Sensing the rising aura of Long Guang, Lin Diyu's heart palpitated. Feeling the power of his second junior brother himself, the suffocation was beyond measure. Yet, this was only in the First Stage of the Mahayana Emperor Realm! How powerful would his second junior brother become if his cultivation were the same as his?
GASP!
When the surrounding people saw Long Guang floating in the air, they blinked several times. Some even rubbed their eyes, to ascertain if this was only their imagination. However, no matter what they did to themselves, the situation inside the inn didn't change.
That ten-year-old kid was actually floating in the air!
When Long Guang revealed his cultivation base, the whole empire trembled at his might.
"What the fuck?!"
"What the hell is happening?"
"Is the empire under attack?"
The higher-ups of the Holy Flood Empire were alerted by the spreading aura, especially the emperor. When he felt the aura, he stared in a certain direction in shock. "When was there another Mahayana Emperor in my Holy Flood Empire? This is clearly not the aura of the Mahayana Emperors I know."
"Your Majesty! The Prime Minister would like to request an audience!"
While they were shaken by the events that transpired, the cultivators inside the inn were dumbfounded. Since they were the nearest to Long Guang, they bore the most pressure.
"What is this power?!"
"Look! That kid and the other one with him seemed to be standing still. What the hell is wrong with this world?"
"Fuck! This ten-year-old kid could actually possess such power with his small body!"
Their eyes almost went out of their sockets. Meanwhile, Bai'er was scared out of her wits.
This pressure.
It couldn't be.
Only someone at that realm could possess such power.
A Mahayana Emperor.
While she was lamenting due to the pressure, Yang Lujia's voice rang inside the inn: "Long Guang, that's enough."
He sighed helplessly. His disciple was still young. Long Guang didn't know that they had to keep a low profile. After all, he wouldn't understand it. On the other hand, the Young Duke and his subordinates were already reduced to ashes.
"Let's just go to the void together," Yang Lujia said. "Do you want to hunt void beasts, Long Guang?"
When Long Guang heard his master's voice, he was elated and went to sit down on his master's shoulders again. "Master, Long Guang want eat bowid bist! Meat!"
When the pressure subsided, the people in the inn could still not believe it. Especially when they heard the kid say he wanted to eat void beasts!
Void Beasts. Those are existences that are not limited by the heaven and earth's rules. And they actually wanted to eat these beasts? It sounded too outrageous!
Yang Lujia then stomped his feet. A wave of invisible power appeared in midair and all of the people in the restaurant remained static. With a wave of his hand, the memories of them coming to this inn were erased. Staring at the people who were reduced to ashes by his second disciple, he sighed once more. Being able to understand the rules of time, he reversed the time of the ashes of these people. After all, it would be bad if the people of the empire were to get to the bottom of this occurrence. Thus, he did all these things to relieve himself and his disciples of trouble.
