Dual Cultivation God Returns-Chapter 877: The Great Heavenly...
Chapter 877: The Great Heavenly...
As Old Yen guessed, the Elder of the Helian Family already arrived in the Family Territory.
The sight of him flatteringly speaking and laughing in an exaggerated way as he walked near Wei Yuanjie, having overtaken the role as the one showing him around, greeted Wu Long as he came out of the mansion with Helian Muyang.
As soon as the Elder’s eyes caught the sight of Helian Muyang, though, an intense shock flashed for a brief second in them.
’Heh, he was certain Young Master Helian’s going to die in there huh? I wonder if it’s because he just thought anything they tried was futile or...’, Wu Long inwardly chuckled, seeing that gaze which obviously didn’t expect to see the young man alive, let alone in such a healthy state.
"M-Muyang... y-you have returned", the Elder spoke as Helian Muyang made a fist and hand salute.
"Yes, Uncle. I have been saved by the grace of Daoist Wu here, and safely returned home. I pay my respects to the Elder of the Family", Helian Muyang spoke in a somber tone.
"Hahaha, good, very good. Your parents and I were all very worried for you. Zhufei! Come greet your cousin!", the Elder slightly awkwardly laughed, plastering a smile onto his face, and then turned behind to have his son join him while completely ignoring Wu Long.
But at that time, "Haha! Wu Long! Look! This Elder of the Helian Family gifted me a Beast of Burden!"
Wei Yuanjie spoke with a youthful laughter, full of excitement as he awkwardly rode on a small bipedal lizard. Though it was mostly Helian Family’s servant who held the beast’s reigns and walked along side him that guided it, while Wei Yuanjie simply sat in the saddle.
"Let’s see how excited you will be when you get off of it", Wu Long chuckled, already seeing the first signs of muscle pain that is going to keep Wei Yuanjie walking with spread out legs long after he comes down from the beast.
But before the Helian Family Elder or his son could ’reprimand’ Wu Long for the rude behavior toward an Imperial Prince, Wei Yuanjie began laughing with a smug smile, "Hahaha, no need to be jealous. I will let you ride The Grand Heavenly Dragon too"
Wu Long almost burst out laughing, hearing the name Wei Yuanjie gave this lizard.
’If anyone of the Dragon Race ever heard of it, he’d be so dead even I would have a hard time defending him’, he shook his head.
Though he knew that as soon as Wei Yuanjie got off the beast, he would hate it so much he’d likely rename it himself.
The Elder looked at how Wu Long and Wei Yuanjie interacted, and quickly realized he miscalculated in his treatment toward the former.
"Khu-km, Daoist Wu...", he started, but Wu Long didn’t turn toward him, continuing to talk with Wei Yuanjie, as the latter still believed Wu Long was jealous of his new personal Beast of Burden.
"Oh, by the way, did you pick out the Beast yourself?", Wu Long then asked.
"Hahaha, yes. I was told to pick out the one I liked most. I wanted to pick a flying one, but they were a bit too big... ", Wei Yuanjie spoke, scratching his cheek with his finger as all the flying ones that the Helian Family dealt with were commercial-use medium-sized beasts.
"No wonder", Wu Long nodded, turning to the Helian Family servant handling the beast "So you only had time to put a saddle on and set up the reigns?"
The latter nodded.
"And the ’Collecting Spatial Ring’?", Wu Long asked with a smile.
The beast handler slightly awkwardly smiled, shaking his head, as it took some time to set up, not to mention it required the help of a specialized Array Master.
And just at that time, a big fresh one dropped from beneath the lizard’s thick long tail, the smell instantly spreading in all directions.
"Oh~... oh this is horrible, awk~ what the...! What the heck is this? Awgh~", Wei Yuanjie’s face soured into a grimace as if he bit on something extremely bitter.
The corners of his eyes actually started tearing up as he never in his life smelled something so foul.
The Elder and his son paled, looking at that scene while Wu Long began outright laughing.
"Stop laughing and do something! Awkh... I think I can taste it... aagh! I can’t... I need to... Aiyaaa!", Wei Yuanjie’s head moved from side to side as he held his nose, but the stench was so strong he started making movements of his mouth as if he tasted it, and as he tried to float up to get away, he felt an unbelievable cramp through both feet and groin area, plopping down onto the beast as soon as he floated a little up.
Wu Long shook his head, and with a quick movement of his hand and a few simple lowest grade talismans, a sealing barrier formed around the pile that the Beast of Burden dropped, a wind carrying fresh air blowing over to relieve Wei Yuanjie who plopped his upper body forward to basically lay on the beast, heavily breathing while trying to suck in as much fresh air as possible.
His bodyguards had a hard time holding back their smiles, and then hurriedly went to help the prince get off the beast.
As Wu Long foresaw, Wei Yuanjie stood with his legs bent forming an upside "U" shape, which prompted two of the four junior bodyguards to turn away in order to not start laughing, while the most senior bodyguard’s face slightly twitched from strain.
The look of grudge that Wei Yuanjie sent toward the Helian Family Elder was hard to miss, making the latter even paler than before, and prompting him to start profusely apologizing while trying to offer explanations, but the prince was not hearing any of it, grumbling and waddling away with bent out legs, not even looking at his prized ’Great Heavenly Dragon’
Helian Muyang, seeing Wu Long move with Wei Yuanjie, also chose to not linger, following them to the mansion while the Elder and his son were left looking at each other with slightly frustrated expressions.
