Dog Mountain.
Munch!
Munch!
The crisp sounds were heard, one wave after another. They formed an orchestra from all corners.
Even though this was a huge mountain, the dogs filled it up from the peak to the foot. Most importantly, the bunch of dogs had their heads lowered in unison. They were chewing the bones while wagging their tails from left to right. They seemed very happy.
Yummy! So yummy!
They had not eaten such good food since birth. They did not dare to even dream about the world having such good food!
They would not trade this with anything!
“Waa…”
Some Dog Demons, especially those with lower rankings, had already started tearing up. Due to this, their dog faces were flowing with water, from saliva to tears and snot. It was an emotional sight.
“Lord Dog’s master’s such a friendly expert. He’s willing to offer us such good food! Waa…my heart has melted.”
“I heard that there wasn’t enough meat in the beginning. The expert asked for more meat and placed the grills all over for all of us to taste it.”
“A kind man! A kind man! Lord Dog’s master’s such a kind man! How envious!”
“I don’t deserve such good food! I don’t deserve it!”
“To be honest, I’d do anything to eat this! I’ll do anything! This is too precious!”
…
The Deified Dog chewed on a bone and swallowed it. Its tongue came out to lick its mouth with satisfaction.
Its worldview had been refreshed once again!
Somehow, after arriving at Dog Mountain, its worldview had become unstable. It had been constantly refreshed and triggered. There was no running from it!
At first, it thought that dog food was already the best food in the world. However, the expert easily prepared some grilled meat and they tasted so good. Most importantly, other than being delicious, its benefits were way stronger than the dog food!
How did he do it?
So terrifying! So unbelievable!
No wonder Blackie was so clever. It would be impossible to not become powerful from having such a master!
The appearance of such a powerful being in the world…perhaps…
The Deified Dog halted. He had a complex look on. He quickly repressed his thought.
Li Nianfan ate the meat on the bone and tossed the bone to Blackie. He said, “Blackie, here!”
Blackie jumped up. He opened his mouth and chewed on the bone. His tail was wagging at Li Nianfan.
Li Nianfan said, “Ha-ha-ha, nice catch!”
The Deified Dog could not help looking envious. He was reminded of his time spent with his master. He envied Blackie for having such a powerful master. How he wished to go back to his master.
Master…wait for me!
Although it was now a bootlicking dog, he did it to save his master!
Li Nianfan patted the dust off his clothes and gradually stood up. He said, “It’s late now, we should go. Blackie, you listen to Lord Dog, alright? Remember to be good, learn from the Lord Dog!”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
“Don’t worry, my master. I’ll learn from Lord Dog!”
Blackie nodded his head and licked at Li Nianfan’s boots as he was about to leave. Blackie even made a wailing sound.
The Deified Dog felt his heart twitching. How he wished to un-hear the conversation between Li Nianfan and Blackie. He invited, “Mr. Li, why don’t you stay for a night in our Dog Mountain?”
“No need, no need.” Li Nianfan shook his head. He did not have the habit of sleeping with dogs.
“Right, Blackie, you’re too stingy, you have too little fruits here. I especially brought over more from home.” Li Nianfan waved as he spoke. Instantly, a bag appeared in front of him. It was a bag half the size of himself! There were all kinds of fruits in it.
They were sparkling!
The Deified Dog was dumbfounded. His saliva flowed like a river, drooling.
The bag was filled with Spiritual Fruits. So this was how the world works! The Deified Dog learned something new again.
He remained stunned. “Is that…too much?”
Li Nianfan waved it off, he did not mind. “This is nothing. Just some fruits, they aren’t worth anything. Since I can’t eat them anyway, it’s annoying to look at them.”
“Oh, I see…”
The Deified Dog lowered his head and scratched the soil with his paws. He did not want to speak.
‘Why did I even ask? I shouldn’t have asked! Look at what I’ve done, I gave him another chance to show off again! What is life!’
Li Nianfan made a gesture and smiled, “Alright, everyone, goodbye!”
“Goodbye, Mr. Li.”
With that, Li Nianfan drove off and left Dog Mountain on a cloud. He went back to the Heavenly Temple.
Seeing that Li Nianfan had disappeared, Blackie jolted and instantly looked different. He cat-walked back to his dog-throne.
Following that, the Dog Demons did not have to be reminded. They quickly went to their posts. Some massaged Blackie, some fed him with fruits. Deified Dog jumped up and started blowing wind at Blackie.
Meanwhile, Blackie made a wave and a dog bowl appeared in front of him.
“Not bad at all. When similar things happen again, you all know what to do,” Blackie said calmly. “From now on, you all can enjoy the second-grade dog food. Good luck and keep working hard.”
“Thank… Thank you, Lord Dog.”
Deified Dog was so touched that he wanted to cry. This was too much of a surprise! He felt so good to be promoted!
Deified Dog quickly felt his dog bowl!
Heavenly Spiritual Treasure!
As expected…dog bowls had different grades as well!
This dog bowl was already more powerful than his most treasured treasure back in the day!
The Pekingese dogs all smiled happily. They invested in the right dog! Deified Dog had become the popular one in front of the Lord Dog! It was getting somewhere!
…
On the other hand.
Xiao Chengfeng and the group brought Lu Yue back to the Heavenly Temple.
Lu Yue was unusually calm. He seemed perplexed as if he was still stunned by the disinfectant spray.
There was a bucket in front of him as well. It was a bucket of water from the well. From time to time, he would scoop out a bowl full of liquid to drink it. He mumbled to himself, “How did the few pills make up this liquid and cure my plague? What logic is this?”
“Alright, stop acting,” Xiao Cheng threw him a look and cut him off. “You’re just trying to drink it! It’s delicious isn’t it?”
“It’s not bad.” Lu Yue jolted and instantly smashed the bowl. “What nonsense! I’m not!”
Xiao Chengfeng did not care about him. He continued, “You’re a God in the Heavenly Temple, why would you cause harm to the ordinary people?”
“Ha-ha, a God in the Heavenly Temple?” Lu Yue smiled mockingly, “I’m only a disciple of the Anti-teaching Sect. Since when was I a God in the Heavenly Temple? Back then, if we weren’t framed, why would I have to be in the investiture? I wouldn’t give in!”
Xiao Chengfeng smiled and mocked, “Ha! Whatever you say can’t change the fact that you caused harm in the ordinary realm. I’ll never bully the weak! You’re so inconsiderate!”
“What do you know!” Lu Yue glared at him with three eyes. He scoffed, “I’m merely trying to find the path I’ve lost. If I’m really causing harm, do you think it’d be such a small deal? You’re just a small Taiyi Golden Immortal. In the past, you wouldn’t even have the right to speak to me. If I glared at you, you might’ve been dead already!”
Xiao Chengfeng laughed so hard that his beard was shaking. His tears were about to come out. “Ha-ha-ha, a prisoner like you is quite good at cracking jokes!”
Chang’e asked curiously, “What do you mean by finding your lost path?”
Lu Yue scoffed and let out an arrogant look. He said calmly, “The Five Elements of Taoism are common things. We ride on clouds for leisure. Getting dragon meat to cook a meal, refining their essence to build our strength. It was very relaxing being the eighth-grade Immortal, the Daluo Golden Immortal.”
Lan asked in shock, “You used to be a Daluo Golden Immortal?”
“Sixth Princess, what do you think?”
He was quite polite to Lan. He continued, “Once we became Gods, our essence was imprisoned. We were imprisoned and had no free will. Furthermore, every time we died, although we could be revived, our ranking would drop by a lot. I died twice during the catastrophe, and due to that, my ranking had dropped twice as much. If not, you wouldn’t have any way of defeating me now!”
He paused, and then added, “Of course, that’s if you don’t use the disinfecting spray!”
That spray was unreal, he did not dare to offend it.
Xiao Chengfeng halted. He asked, “What actually happened during the catastrophe?”
Lu Yue said, “Doesn’t matter if I tell you all. After the catastrophe, all Gods were released. Although our rankings dropped significantly, we were no longer restrained. There’s no more investiture of the Gods!”
Chang’e let out a look of surprise. “The Heavenly Temple was no longer chaotic.”
Lu Yue smiled. “If the Heavenly Temple was not chaotic, why would the world become chaotic?”
He continued, “However, I feel that something big is about to happen again. The Deluxe Merit Saint you spoke of is very powerful!”
“Ha-ha, who doesn’t know that already?” Xiao Chengfeng scoffed. “I’m not looking down on you. As you know, anything you can imagine is just a small part of the iceberg. The power of the expert is beyond words!”
“I know.” Lu Yue stood up and bowed deeply at Lan. He said with a genuine tone, “Sixth Princess, I have a favor to ask. If possible, I hope you could refer me to the expert. Even if there’s no more Investiture of Gods in the future, I’m willing to return to the Heavenly Temple to resume my duty!”
Lan did not hesitate. She weakly shook her head and said, “I don’t have a say in this.”
Meanwhile, Chang’e saw a golden cloud floating toward them. She realized it right away.
She said, “Alright, we don’t have to talk about it anymore. We accidentally bumped into the expert!”
