Chapter 1552 - How Did You Know?

“Is that so?”

With a light chuckle, Xu Que’s figure suddenly swept over and landed not far in front of Buttface. He seemed to be smiling and yet not smiling.

“Of course, would Your Holiness lie to you? However, this woman doesn’t know what’s good for her. The more Your Holiness praised you, the more she kept coming after Your Holiness to attack me. She’s simply preposterous!” Buttface toadied up to Xu Que in an especially obsequious manner. Also, he moved closer and closer to Xu Que as he spoke.

“Lord Brother, this woman is extremely hard to deal with. I’m very lucky that you’ve arrived. You and I, two brothers, can join forces and fight together. We will definitely be invincible. At that time, this woman will be yours!” As Buttface finished this sentence, he had arrived in front of Xu Que.

SWISH!

The next moment, he lifted his arm and grabbed at Xu Que, in an effort to throw him behind himself so that he could burst out like lightning and scuttle forward. He was obviously trying to throw Xu Que to Xuanyuan Wanrong so that he could take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

However, when Buttface’s claw pressed down on what he’d thought was Xu Que’s shoulder, his paw came up empty!

“F*ck, it’s a replica again!” Buttface immediately cursed in rage.

But, on the other hand, this scene made Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was close on Buttface’s heels, suddenly slow down.

She hesitated a little. When she’d seen Xu Que earlier, Xu Que’s seemingly out-of-this-world palm attack had made a deep impression on her.

Now that she’d realized that only the boy’s replica had appeared, his real body must be lying in ambush someplace in the surroundings. If the Mighty King and he joined forces, she was really not certain that she would be able to take them both down on her own.

“Mighty King, don’t run. If you assist me in capturing Xu Que, I will definitely let you escape,” Xuanyuan Wanrong said.

“Who’s Xu Que? D*mn, just hearing that name, I know he’s certainly not a good person. Even you can’t capture him, and you still want to drag Your Holiness into the mire. No way!” Buttface continued to flee without the slightest hesitation. He was exceptionally clever at such times. He was definitely the Mighty King of self-preservation.

Xuanyuan Wanrong had a thoughtful look, as if she was pondering something. She asked, “The young man who was with you the other day was Xu Que. You called him Lord Brother. Don’t tell me you’ve been deceived by him?”

“What? That’s him?” Buttface was instantly startled.

“Lord Brother is Xu Que?

“F*ck, which is his real name?

“But to join forces to capture that boy? Dream on! That boy is fierce and cleverer than Your Holiness. There’s no f*cking way you will ever capture him.

“Your Holiness would never do such a wicked deed as betraying my brother. Woman, you’ve misjudged this Kylin!” Buttface yelled as he continued to sprint and didn’t even turn his head back to see if he could see who he was talking to.

“Once we capture him, the man belongs to me, and his treasures belong to you. How about it?” Xuanyuan Wanrong continued to speak.

“Huh?” Buttface suddenly stopped and stared wide-eyed as he said, “Are you serious?”

“Of course!” Xuanyuan Wanrong also stopped as a token of her sincerity.

“Okay, it’s a deal.” Buttface didn’t hesitate to agree. At the same time, he sized Xuanyuan Wanrong up with a strange expression on his face. He shook his head. He’d absolutely not expected this. Xuanyuan Wanrong had actually been tempted by that boy’s good looks and wanted him for herself.

“Oh, woman!”

“Oh, Buttface, you’re really too much. Knowing that I’m around, you still sold me out right in front of me?”

At this time, Xu Que’s voice could be heard.

He had sent a replica over before to deliberately play tricks on Buttface. But now his real body had just arrived, and he’d heard that Buttface was going to join forces with Xuanyuan Wanrong.

“Huh, boy, you still have the gall to speak to me about tricks? With regard to Your Holiness’s theft of the treasure house, weren’t you the one who gave the tip-off to the Heaven Palace Sect?” Buttface angrily shouted.

“What?” Xu Que sprang out from the forest on the mountain with a look of shock in his eyes. He looked absolutely dumbfounded as he said, “You think I was the one who gave the tip-off?”

“Why are you still pretending? Only you and I knew about Your Holiness’s theft of the treasure house. Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”

“It really wasn’t me. I didn’t betray you, so don’t talk drivel.” Xu Que repeatedly denied doing it. Anger burst forth on his face. He looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and shouted, “Why are you, woman, so vicious? You even made up stuff to drive a wedge between Buttface and I, who are true brothers.”

“Bullsh*t!” Buttface scolded. “All the people know that the Heaven Palace Sect’s Xuanyuan Wanrong detests villains and misdeeds and will never resort to tricks. Boy, when you play dumb, why don’t you first understand the lay of the land clearly? She has more credibility than you do.”

“F*ck!”

It was now Xu Que’s turn to be surprised. It seemed as if it was not as easy to fool Buttface now that he was the Kylin Patriarch as it had been in his previous life.

He looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong again. She had the same calm, indifferent look that she’d had from the beginning as she stood her ground coolly. Her gaze was fixed on Xu Que, which sent shivers down Xu Que’s back.

“F*ck me, this imposing manner of Xuanyuan Wanrong of tens of thousands of years ago is much scarier than the version of her that I knew tens of thousands of years later.” Xu Que thought to himself.

“Mighty King, have you thought about it? Have you made a decision?” At this time, Xuanyuan Wanrong turned her gaze away and looked at Buttface.

Buttface immediately shouted, “Do I still need to think about it? Of course, you and I should join forces to capture the boy!”

After saying that, Buttface actually took the lead with an imposing momentum and rushed toward Xu Que.

The corners of Xuanyuan Wanrong’s lips curled up when she’d seen what had happened. She made her move at the same time and shot out a restrictive spell in a flash, trying to imprison Xu Que.

“Come on.”

Xu Que cursed under his breath. He wouldn’t have come over to get in on the action if he’d known earlier about the trouble that he was walking into.

But the next moment, he was happy.

Before he’d gone to the Heaven Palace Sect, he’d already bought ten Art of Compelling Divine Power from the System store, among which was the Calamity-Foreseeing Art, which art’s special property was that if could anticipate a crisis.

On his way here, the Calamity-Foreseeing Art had not issued a single warning. Thus, that meant that even if Buttface and Xuanyuan Wanrong were going to join forces, the Calamity-Foreseeing Art didn’t feel that it needed to warn him in advance.

But suddenly at this moment an image from the Calamity-Foreseeing Art flashed across his mind.

When Buttface had joined forces with Xuanyuan Wanrong to capture him, he’d turned on the System’s retaliatory mechanism.

Then, when Buttface could feel that there was something amiss with the situation he’d tried to snatch Xu Que’s Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod. When he’d realized that he couldn’t seize it, the fool had turned around to run away.

He’d clearly intended to make use of the upcoming fight between Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong to take the opportunity to escape.

But at the exact moment when he had turned to escape, a figure had suddenly appeared out of the ground, holding a staff in his hand. He’d pointed to the ground with his staff and the entire ground had instantly bloomed with rays of light.

In an instant, everyone, Xu Que, Xuanyuan Wanrong, and Buttface, had been transfixed.

On closer inspection, Xu Que could see that this was actually Duan Qide, who he’d met during the day in the Heaven Palace Sect.

Duan Qide hadn’t revealed his talents during the day. Xu Que was surprised. He hadn’t expect him to actually hide all his strengths. This guy must be at least at the Celestial Prime stage, which was one major cultivation stage higher than Xuanyuan Wanrong’s Celestial King stage.

Ah, what a capable b*stard!

Duan Jiude’s grandfather was actually so audacious.

The key was that even a powerful Celestial Prime would actually resort to such dirty tricks. In order to deal with a Celestial King, a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, and Buttface, he’d actually laid in wait in order to make a despicable, vicious move.

And, based on this approach, Duan Jiude was certainly the true grandson of Duan Qide.

BANG!

There was a loud noise, just like in the image anticipated by the Calamity-Foreseeing Art. Buttface and Xuanyuan Wanrong attacked.

Xu Que immediately activated the System’s retaliatory mechanism. The Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod swept forward and directly shattered Xuanyuan Wanrong’s restrictive spell.

“Heh, heh, heh, you’ve fallen into a trap!”

Almost at the same time, Xu Que said loudly with a smile, “Duan Qide, have you finished setting up the spell? Quickly come out and stop them.”

“What?” Buttface and Xuanyuan Wanrong were equally startled.

“Is there someone else lying in wait here?

“How can it be?”

“Impossible!” Suddenly, a shocked-sounding voice could be heard from under the ground. “My ultimate Concealing Spell is the number one in the world. Even a Celestial Emperor wouldn’t be able to sense its presence. How did you know I had set up the spell here?”

I am the best when it comes to taking divergent paths. With just a flip of my hand, I shall take the path less commonly travelled. I search far and wide, only to find myself unbeatable and unrivaled. So now I ask, who else can match my awesomeness? Acting tough is second nature to me and I am a lone wolf. The road is long and winding but I shan’t feel lonely as long as I am able to act tough! Life and death bore me and I do whatever I deem fit. “Young man, way back when I started acting tough, you were still learning how to put on your underpants!” Xu Que thus decided to take the path of acting tough. He decided to act tough every single god-damned day. If he wasn’t acting tough, he was scheming for the best way to act tough!
