Chapter 140: Yu Xiaogang's Ambition
On Pope Mountain, Yu Xiaogang stood on a large rock at the edge of a cliff, roaring internally. "Why? I just want to prove myself! I just want to be the proud son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan again!"
His theories were criticized, he was expelled from Spirit Hall, and he was publicly disowned by his own father. The series of blows had brought him to the brink of collapse. The cold mountain wind blew like sharp blades, but he barely felt it. His spirit was in agony.
"I am not reconciled!" he seethed. "Why did my Martial Soul awaken as a pig when I am the legitimate son of the Clan Master? Why were my theories misinterpreted by those commoners? If you don't understand, don't use them! Otherwise, I would already be an existence more dazzling than the Clear Sky Twin Stars!"
The extreme unwillingness plunged him into a state close to madness. Fortunately, he found that he was not without anything. He still had Bibi Dong.
From a very early time, he knew that Bibi Dong liked him, but his attitude had always been ambiguous. He maintained an image of a profound 'wise man,' because he knew that was the only reason she was attracted to him.
But times were different. His image had begun to collapse. To prevent her from leaving him, he had to do something. Confess. As long as the confession was successful, and then the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, she would never be able to leave him. He would bind her to his side, and when she became Supreme Pontiff, they would find an Immortal Herb. He would let those who once looked down on him experience the taste of 'today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unable to reach me'.
Just as he was envisioning this beautiful future, he heard the faint sound of crushing dry branches. His face instantly lit up with joy, but he did not turn around. He restrained his smile, maintaining a cold and lonely image.
"You're here," he said gloomily when the footsteps drew near.
However, the answer made him shiver. "Do you always like to talk with your back to people?"
It was Qin Xuan.
Yu Xiaogang's arrogance vanished. He slowly turned around, looking humble and fawning. "Lord Qin Xuan, why are you here?" He both hated and feared this guy. If the other party was unhappy and threw him off the cliff, he wouldn't even have anyone to collect his body.
In the sky, Bibi Dong stood on Qin Xuan's flying sword, looking down. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's fawning appearance, she grew increasingly angry. Was he always like this? she wondered. Or was I just blind?
"Someone entrusted me to come," Qin Xuan said, taking out a jade box from his storage bag. "And she asked me to bring you this."
Seeing the jade box, Yu Xiaogang already guessed what it was. His pupils contracted. "This... this is..." Ignoring his fear, he excitedly opened the box. Inside lay a pale purple Immortal Herb. He had a premonition that if he consumed this, his spirit power would definitely break through the level thirty bottleneck.
"Haven't you already guessed?" Qin Xuan said indifferently. "It's the Immortal Herb that can allow you to complete your Martial Soul's evolution."
"This... how can I accept this..." Yu Xiaogang smiled so wide his mouth almost reached his ears. But even as he spoke, his hand was not slow at all. Just as he was about to take the herb, Qin Xuan snorted, and the jade box automatically closed, leaving him grasping at air.
