Chapter 497: Chapter 498: A Dog Can’t Spit Out Ivory [Subscribe Please]

Wu Tian and his group had just left No Heaven Villa when the Little Kirin and the Little Phoenix hurriedly came after them. They wanted to join the journey, too; without Wu Tian and their "little miss," the villa was just plain boring.

Liu Tianji and the others scrutinized the Little Kirin and the Little Phoenix. When they first encountered Divine Beasts, they had been taken aback, but now they were much more at ease. Even so, they couldn’t help but wonder. How can such Divine Beasts exist in this world? Did Qilins and Phoenixes ever truly exist on Earth? Perhaps they did. But as times changed, even if they had, they should have gone extinct just like the dinosaurs.

The two troublemakers looked at him with teary eyes. Seeing this, Wu Tian could only agree to take them along.

Wu Tian held the little one in his arms while the Little Kirin followed behind him. The Little Phoenix had it much easier; in its small bird form, it perched on Wu Tian’s shoulder, making the Little Kirin intensely jealous. It suddenly felt that being a land-bound beast was no good at all.

No Heaven Villa was now completely empty, except for the Little Kunpeng shouting from the backyard pond, "Don’t forget about me! Don’t forget about me!"

But it was ignored.

At that moment, the Little Kunpeng needed someone to fish it out of the water. In ten minutes, it would transform into a Peng Bird. However, it was still a far cry from the mythical Kunpeng.

Along the way, the little one in Wu Tian’s arms looked up with her big, round eyes and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, can I ask you for a favor?"

Wu Tian was not about to be easily tricked. Without agreeing, he simply asked, "Tell me what you want first."

"Stingy!" Seeing that Wu Tian wasn’t falling for it, the little one huffed before saying, "There are definitely going to be some face-slapping games on this trip. Remember to let me handle them!"

Wu Tian was taken aback. After a moment’s thought, he said, "I don’t think you can handle it."

He’s seriously doubting my abilities? How can he say a woman can’t do it?

The little one stretched out her chubby little hand and pinched Wu Tian’s cheek. "Daddy, you have to trust me!"

Wu Tian just shook his head. On the way, the little one kept pestering him about it, acting as if she had some secret weapon. Although Wu Tian was curious, he dared not risk his daughter’s life to find out. In the world of Cultivation, methods to shatter a person’s soul surely existed. If that happened, if her soul was gone, how could Wu Tian possibly save her? It would require Wu Tian at the peak of his power, using his Divine Skills to communicate with Yin Souls and defy fate itself to bring her back. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The plump girl led the way. To get to the cliff, they had to pass through a village. Puzzled, she remarked, "I don’t remember there being a village here before."

Wu Tian nodded, his Spiritual Sense sweeping over the village, taking in every person and detail. His brow furrowed slightly.

"What’s wrong?" Liu Tianji and the others noticed the change in his expression and immediately asked.

Wu Tian remained silent, simply leading them directly toward the village.

At the entrance, they encountered a group of burly men mercilessly whipping a line of children. The youngest among them was only six, and the oldest was no more than seventeen. They were all so emaciated that their skin clung to their bones. It was impossible to tell if their skin was dark or fair, as their bare torsos were covered in a crisscrossing network of bloody welts from the whips.

When Wu Tian and his group approached, the men whipping the children were surprised. Who would possibly come to such a godforsaken place?

An arrogant man stepped out from behind them—it was Xiang Feixie. Too lazy to even glance at the newcomers, he didn’t recognize Wu Tian and said languidly, "You, tell these people to get lost. Don’t let them get near here."

One of the henchmen, however, recognized Wu Tian and quickly whispered a few words into Xiang Feixie’s ear.

"Oh? I was wondering who it could be. So it’s the number one figure everyone in the Underground World has been buzzing about," Xiang Feixie said, looking at Wu Tian with surprise before his tone turned mocking. "When the cat’s away, the mice will play, huh? So, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you lot are planning a group orgy? Wow, that’d be exciting! You have to count me in."

As the son of the Evil Alliance’s Hierarch, Xiang Feixie was naturally arrogant. But because he had never been acknowledged as the Young Hierarch, his words always seemed to carry a sarcastic bite. He was the biological son of Xiang Lingtian, but everyone in the Evil Alliance believed that when Xiang Lingtian passed on, the position of Alliance Hierarch should be inherited by Fan Yisheng, who was already over three hundred years old.

This caused Xiang Feixie to see Fan Yisheng as a nail in his eye and a thorn in his flesh. But since his performance had never surpassed Fan Yisheng’s, his speech was always filled with resentment, like trying to get ivory from a dog’s mouth.

Wu Tian did not know who Xiang Feixie was, and neither did Liu Tianji or the others. After all, the Evil Alliance had been in seclusion ever since their defeat at the hands of the Righteous Alliance. Who would know what the son of the Evil Alliance’s Hierarch looked like?

But that didn’t stop a chill from filling Wu Tian’s eyes as he stared at Xiang Feixie.

"You must be a few hundred years old, right? How can you be even more childish than me? Why are your words so vile?" It was the little one in Wu Tian’s arms who spoke, clenching her tiny fists as she said indignantly, "You have no manners."

Xiang Feixie burst into laughter. "Manners? Can manners be eaten as food? Can manners lead to immortality? Can manners grant absolute power? If they can, I’ll become well-mannered in an instant."

After speaking, he gave the little one a careful look, then let his gaze drift to Qin Yuhan standing behind Wu Tian. His eyes lit up. A vile thought surged through his mind. The mother and daughter... a threesome?

But Xiang Feixie shot a wary glance at Wu Tian. I wouldn’t dare! Wu Tian destroyed the Righteous Alliance. Even if he didn’t do it alone but with a large group... isn’t there a large group right behind him now? Xiang Feixie felt he needed to play the long game and plan this out carefully.

Unfortunately for him, the look in his eyes had already betrayed his thoughts. The next moment, Xiang Feixie felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

"Young... Young Master, be... behind you..." one of the burly men in front of him suddenly stammered.

Xiang Feixie spun around and saw Wu Tian. He had no idea when, but Wu Tian had already handed the little one to Qin Yuhan and appeared directly behind him. With lightning speed, Wu Tian’s hand shot out and clamped around Xiang Feixie’s neck.

"Ah—!"

With his throat seized, Xiang Feixie suddenly felt all his strength drain away. He had never felt death so terrifyingly close.

"Please, let him go!"

"Yes, he can’t die!"

The burly men all dropped to their knees, begging for mercy. They weren’t worried about Xiang Feixie’s life; they were worried that if he died, they would die too. Whether at the hands of Wu Tian or the Alliance Hierarch of the Evil Alliance, their fate would be sealed!

"I didn’t expect you to be so pathetic!" Wu Tian was also surprised at how easily he had grabbed the man’s neck. Clearly, this person was nothing but a useless oaf.

In that case, I might as well kill him.

Wu Tian prepared to apply pressure and snap Xiang Feixie’s neck.
