The Real Way to Cultivate in the City
Chapter 117 - 114: Gluttonous Legislator: You Are All Morally Corrupt! Twisted Humanity!
The Gluttonous Legislator’s mind seemed to be affected, continuously darting around, relying on instinct, arriving at...
The high-ranking official beside whom he had planted the Vital Secret Realm Seed.
Then he opened his mouth and swallowed the person whole.
Occasionally, his stomach would bulge, much like a python swallowing live prey.
But the Gluttonous Legislator’s appetite was better; his digestion faster, almost never exceeding three seconds before the abdominal movement stopped...
Superpower Users are often easier to digest.
If it were a Receptacle, the Gluttonous Legislator would regurgitate the Contained Object...
Amidst this situation, Dog Legs held his Kidney Stabbing Knife, continuously "tailing" the Gluttonous Legislator, trying to find a way to get behind him and deliver a fatal blow!
But...
This wasn’t what he wanted!
Due to fear, a few drops of cold sweat appeared on Dog Legs’ forehead.
But these cold sweats were quickly covered by sweat from Dog Legs’ intense running...
The scene was chaotic.
The henchmen originally chosen by the Gluttonous Legislator for "witnessing" began to scatter and flee.
Dog Legs, holding a knife, followed behind the Gluttonous Legislator.
The calmest was Name-Slinging Geezer, who had two blooms atop his head, rooting in his cranial cavity.
Name-Slinging Geezer looked at Dog Legs’ face, which was "exactly like" his son’s, recalling memories from long ago...
...
"Dad! Our Ke Chen City seems too weak! I want to go undercover at the Extraordinary Universal School to replicate their member training experience to our Ke Chen City!"
"Dad! I’ve successfully infiltrated the Extraordinary Universal School now, I’m so excited, undercover!"
"Dad! We can’t replicate the training model of the Extraordinary Universal School, it’s too demanding on people; they don’t treat people as people! I’ve decided to come back."
"Dad! I’m not coming back for now. I want to dismantle the Extraordinary Universal School from within, at least take down the Gluttonous Legislator! You know? He’s actually eating people!"
"Dad! I met a friend at the Extraordinary Universal School who shares the same aspirations; his awakened superpower is to borrow his owner’s strength after recognizing them as such. If, in future video calls, someone calls me ’owner’, don’t think I’ve picked up a bad habit."
"Dad! This is my friend... hey, hey, don’t call me ’owner’ in front of my dad, there’s a strange sense of shame!"
"Dad, that friend who kept calling me ’owner’ is dead."
...
Looking at Dog Legs’ face, identical to his son’s, Name-Slinging Geezer smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
A father, how could he mistake his own son?
Even if your appearance, your speech, your demeanor, and actions are just like my son.
What does it matter?
Since you’re willing to be my son, then just be.
You approached my son back then and hid your ability, didn’t you?
The underlying logic of your ability should be ’when loyal to the owner, can borrow a portion of the owner’s power and inherit the owner’s strength after they die’, right?
And along with it, inherit certain physical traits.
And my power...
Coincidentally, it too was hidden from everyone.
My power is to give those ’like an elder’ protection to those given names, and at crucial moments, those named must reciprocate.
Externally, it claims to ’Take a Humble Name’, to allocate names to the Extraordinary who truly need it; only those truly needing safety would disregard the impact of a humble name.
True hunger doesn’t care if the porridge mixes sand.
And you...
Bearing my son’s facade, living under his name for so long.
Now, give back that strength to me.
My child would never be as pathetic as you.
"Child, listen to Daddy, lend all your strength to Daddy, Daddy raised you and nurtured you for so long, you surely would be willing, right!"
As soon as the words fell, the last seed quickly grew, fiercely rooting into Name-Slinging Geezer’s head, sucking something out; the original two vibrant Deathblossom Lilies quickly withered, all nutrients absorbed.
At the same time, Dog Legs felt his body weaken, losing all strength from within.
But just as his body was about to collapse to the ground, someone lifted him up...
"Spare me, I beg you, father, spare me."
Looking at the tearful Dog Legs before him, Name-Slinging Geezer paused for a moment.
At that moment, Dog Legs drove the knife in his hand fiercely towards Name-Slinging Geezer’s abdomen...
Clang.
Dog Legs didn’t feel the smooth penetration of the knife into the abdomen, rather it felt like hitting a block of iron.
"This is Tiezhu’s power."
Although Name-Slinging Geezer didn’t open his mouth, the voice echoed in Dog Legs’ mind.
"This is Yadan’s power."
Name-Slinging Geezer patted Dog Legs’ shoulder; Dog Legs felt he couldn’t move.
"This is Pile’s power."
Then, Name-Slinging Geezer bent down, grabbed a handful of soil, pried open Dog Legs’ mouth, stuffed it in, covered his mouth, then rested his head against Dog Legs’ forehead...
"It’s Daddy who didn’t take care of you...
You’ll suffer greatly."
"Mmm!"
"Mmm!"
"Mmm mmm mmm!!!"
Dog Legs began to struggle wildly, but his body was already fixed.
Only able to whimper, trembling while struggling.
But none of this mattered...
Underneath his skin, within his blood vessels, something worked its way.
Gradually, gradually, Dog Legs’ struggles began to slow, his whimpering becoming weak.
