Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 125 - : Enemies Vanish into Smoke with Casual Talks and Laughter

Chapter 125 -125: Enemies Vanish into Smoke with Casual Talks and Laughter

“I know the Five Elements are metal, wood, water, fire, earth,” Wang Hao’s jumbled up explanations, how could Bai Yaning know them? She thought carefully and then shook her head, “As for the Five Gods and the five categories, I don’t know those.”

“Well, let me explain,” Wang Hao began to talk non-stop: “You know about ‘Journey to the West,’ right? In the segment of the true and false Monkey King, The Buddha once summarized the Five Gods and Five Insects. These Five Gods, are called heaven, earth, deity, human, ghost! ‘Heaven’ refers to Heavenly Immortals, the highest rank, residing above the Thirty-Three Heavens, with The Three Pure Ones at the very top of them, and among The Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun is the highest! ‘Earth’ refers to Earth Immortals, exemplified by Immortal Zhenyuan. These Earth Immortals, nominally acknowledge the supreme status of Heavenly Immortals, but they don’t just take orders without question, and even Heavenly Immortals have to give them some respect. ‘Deity’ refers to the ordinary gods and immortals, like those generals and soldiers under the Jade Emperor’s command.”

At this point, Zhao Zhenhao finally found the chance to interrupt: “So, ‘human’ refers to the people down here, right?”

He thought he definitely got it right—Heaven, Earth, Deity, Human, Ghost, ‘human’ must mean ordinary people…

“Wrong!” Wang Hao decisively gave him no face: “This ‘human’ refers to Immortals, and speaking of Immortals, there are a few you definitely have heard of!”

Zhao Zhenhao and Bai Yaning asked together: “Who?”

...

“During the Three Kingdoms period, there was someone called Yu Ji, this guy was quite something!” Wang Hao said with a smile: “In the Tang Dynasty, there was Yuan Tiangang, oh, and also Li Chunfeng, they all belong to the class of Immortals!”

Zhao Zhenhao and Bai Yaning nodded together: “So that’s what it is!”

“Lastly, there’s ‘ghost,'” Wang Hao continued explaining: “This ‘ghost’ is not the kind of ghost we usually talk about, but the immortal among ghosts, like the Ox-Head and Horse-Face in the underworld at that level, they can be called Ghost Immortals.”

After this explanation, Zhao Zhenhao was practically knocked senseless!

What the heck is all this? To have a nice meal, chat about local conditions and customs, show off your awesome knowledge, how did it turn into this jumbled mess of Heaven, Earth, Deity, Human, Ghost?! What exactly was going on?

Bai Yaning, on the other hand, listened with utmost curiosity, eagerly asking: “Now that you’ve finished with Heaven, Earth, Deity, Human, Ghost, what about the Five Insects? What are they?”

“These Five Insects,” Wang Hao said, and then called out to the waiter, “Got any water? Bring me a bottle!”

Zhao Zhenhao quickly showcased his awesomeness: “No need to rush for water, I’ve prepared two bottles of ’82 Lafite, let’s drink that in a bit.”

“Oh…” Wang Hao’s face showed disappointment: “I thought it was ’82 mineral water…”

Your sister! Does your family have ’82 mineral water?!

“Pfft,” hearing Wang Hao’s amusing comment, Bai Yaning couldn’t help it and burst out laughing, shocking both Wang Hao and Zhao Zhenhao.

My goodness, a big star is really a big star, a single laugh almost takes your soul away!

“Why are you both staring at me like that?” Bai Yaning’s face turned visibly red, then she reproached Wang Hao cutely, “Keep talking about your Five Insects!”

Zhao Zhenhao was so annoyed he almost ground his teeth to bits!

This is unbearable!

“Ah, alright, I’ll continue!” Wang Hao laughed, shaking his head as he spoke: “The story goes that Pangu created the world, Nuwa fashioned people from clay! The heavens and earth were in flux, the Six Harmonies were unstable, transforming myriad beings, ten types emerged! There are the Five Gods, heaven, earth, deity, human, ghost, and the Five Insects, victors, scaled, feathered, furry, shelled! These victors refer to the legless creatures, such as frogs, earthworms, with humans being the chief among victors. ‘Scaled’ is simple, it refers to creatures with scales, like fish and snakes, with the dragon being the leader of the scaled. ‘Furry’ points to furry beasts, cats, dogs, lions, tigers, and such, with the Qilin at the head. ‘Feathered’ means birds with feathers, with the Phoenix holding honor. The last one, ‘shelled,’ refers to insects with shells and also includes some aquatic creatures, with the Xuanwu at the peak!”

His explanation completely stupefied Zhao Zhenhao.

What kind of brain does this young man have to know these things…

Actually, the stuff Wang Hao mentioned, if put on Earth as it originally was, isn’t worth much, many people would know it.

But the problem is, the entertainment industry in this world took a different direction—there’s no TV series version of ‘Journey to the West’ starring Six-year-old Child!

Without this version of ‘Journey to the West,’ very few people would be familiar with many things from it.

So, listening to Wang Hao explain it, they were as if listening to a heavenly script, Zhao Zhenhao was obviously stunned speechless, and even Bai Yaning was gawking in amazement!

Hahaha! I’m unbeatable with my mouth cannon! Bring on any number of enemies and I’ll wipe them all out!

“After all that talk about conquering fish, insects, and birds, that’s easy to handle,” Wang Hao said with a chuckle, “Let’s not talk about insects. As for fish, the river is full of them; let’s go fishing and grill them to eat! For the furry critters, we could catch some rabbits in the mountains. And for birds, nearly every household in the countryside raises chickens—pure, natural, free-range chickens at that! As for the insects…” Wang Hao looked at the two of them, “Ever had deep-fried grasshoppers?”

Both shook their heads together, Zhao Zhenhao’s face had already turned a bit pale.

Wang Hao then asked, “What about deep-fried cicadas?”

The two continued shaking their heads together, Zhao Zhenhao’s complexion clearly not right anymore…

Wang Hao delivered the final blow, “Then, deep-fried scorpions?”

Bai Yaning’s eyes widened, and Zhao Zhenhao immediately made a “vomit” sound, covering his mouth as he charged out…

Damn, I forgot that the big star mentioned this guy was a clean freak. Guess he couldn’t handle hearing about these edibles and ran off to throw up in the bathroom…

Oh dear, poor kid, I really didn’t mean it, I was just trying to keep the conversation going—you see what I’ve done…

Hahahahaha!

This is called planning strategies within the command tent to ensure victory a thousand miles away… that doesn’t sound quite right, it should be more like talking and laughing as prideful enemies turn to ash and smoke!

…

Inside the restroom.

Zhao Zhenhao truly vomited his guts out this time. It couldn’t be helped; he’d been a clean freak since he was young, which wasn’t an issue itself, but he was especially sensitive to bugs. Seeing them used to send shivers down his spine, and hearing Wang Hao talk about eating deep-fried insects, he just about hit the floor…

“That bastard,” Zhao Zhenhao muttered in frustration, unable to say it out loud, “He could have talked about anything else, but why did he have to bring up deep-fried insects, grasshoppers, and scorpions of all things… vomit!”

Everything he ate for breakfast was now thrown up…

Finally finished vomiting, he rinsed his mouth with some water and took a deep breath.

“Come to think of it, this Wang Hao really does have the gift of gab,” Zhao Zhenhao wiped the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, “Even though Miss Yaning would never fancy him, I still come from the distinguished Zhao family. If I were to be outdone by such a nobody, wouldn’t that be utterly laughable? No, whether it’s currying favor or giving him a hard time, that’s for later. Today, I can’t afford to lose face in front of Miss Yaning, I must take back control of the rhythm!”

In reality, Zhao Zhenhao really didn’t consider Wang Hao a rival.

What a joke, him, a proud young master from the Zhao family, chasing after Bai Yaning, might not even be successful, what kind of status does Wang Hao have? How could he possibly capture Bai Yaning’s heart?!

The difference in status between the two was like that of the sun and the moon, even if Bai Yaning were blind she wouldn’t choose such a nobody as a boyfriend.

To make a more picturesque comparison, his and Bai Yaning’s statuses were like two elephants. Even if Wang Hao, this little mouse, pulls off some fancy moves, what could he do? Marry an elephant as his wife?

“Just let you jump around for a bit,” Zhao Zhenhao straightened his clothes, “But later, I can’t allow you to outdo me again. I may not be as familiar with the daily life of a small fry like you, but in the upcoming wine tasting banquet, you can’t possibly outshine me, can you?”

For this dinner, he had prepared hundreds of pages of material!

No matter how Wang Hao jumps around, he’s just a nobody. He might be familiar with the ways of the countryside, but at the wine and bluefin tuna banquet later, won’t he just revert to being a bumpkin?

Thinking of this, his mood greatly improved; Zhao Zhenhao walked out of the restroom, putting back on his most elegant smile and said, “My apologies for the embarrassment. I’ve been a bit of a clean freak since childhood, can’t stand anything to do with bugs. I made a fool of myself, please forgive me.”

Truly born of a grand family, the upbringing is indeed different, far from those rich second generations in web novels who fly off the handle and threaten slay a commoner’s entire family at the slightest provocation.
