Chapter 550: One Heart And One Mind
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tom the black tiger was happily feasting, though he was born a cat, there were little times when it could feast on fishes happily.
That was because there were too much to do. It needed to plot schemes against the idiotic Death, and had to fool many disciples; it needed to comfort its spokesperson, and had to incite fights.
When these matters piled up, its appetite became bad. This was a normal pattern.
Although it wanted to eat fish, and it had disciples to who offered tributes, it was helpless as it did not have to mood to do so.
Now that it had become a mount, its foundation was seized by a devil. On top of that, its disciple was also sent to Draconic Penitentiary to be re-educated, who was occasionally seen twice at the Draconic Arcane Realm.
The only thing was that he did not recognize it. After all, Oldman Huang had a mortal body. Even if his potential was extremely high, and was valued by the devil lord, his potentials were not transformed into his strengths yet.
Therefore, Tom the cat could consider this the first time it was off the hook, as it was having a great appetite.
With this, it triggered Chong Daqing to be dissatisfied.
Despite the fact that the black and yellow dogs were greedy for food as well, they liked big bones, since fish was more on the fishy side. Dogs were not fond of eating fishes, perhaps some bear might love it.
Hence, they only took a piece each to satisfy their mouths a little.
Even though the Sky Eagle couple had a strong liking for fishes too, they needed to care about their images as they were cultivators of the path of godhood. They needed to remain appropriate at all times…which was highly different from the unfettered and capricious path of immortality and path of devils.
It was even more important for Fang Ning, Zheng Dao, and Bai Ruocang. As individuals with identities, they needed to have a sense of propriety too.
The only one who could contest Daqing was sir that was still lying in the System Space, and would not come out.
Initially, Chong Daqing could eat to its heart’s content for the reason that it was the youngest, and nobody would bother it. Who knew, a competitor arrived.
“You say that you’re a tiger, why do like to eat fishes so much? Don’t tigers always like to eat wild boars?” Daqing swallowed a pan-fried carp in wine, and was extremely dispirited.
“Tigers are actually cats.” Tom the black cat swallowed a stewed fish in one mouth, and was unconcerned as it replied.
In any case, its identity was probably exposed already, it could just do whatever it wanted…
“Uh…you’re quite reasonable.” Instantly, Chong Daqing was at a loss for words, it quickened its eating pace.
When Fang Ning heard that, his eyes moved, he said to sir, “It looks like Tom the cat is being more bold at doing whatever it wants, it actually exposed its identity on its own.”
“It seems like it, but is there any meaning to this?” Sir was confused.
“There is, I can try using my trash talks to influence it, then make it tell me what’s the secret behind that book.?”
“You’re tricking me again. This cat is smart and cunning, how can you fool it? Furthermore, didn’t that little ant admit that the rare book is a complete godlike recipe? It doesn’t look bad at all, it can add some content to my Master-level cooking skill.” Sir was in disbelief.
“Look at you, you’re acting dumb again. Since you know that Tom the cat is smart and cunning, you should know that whatever it used to say can’t be fully trusted. Besides, that little ant basically sticks to it every day, it’s simple for it to keep this a secret. After all, that little ant can’t speak, we can’t test if it’s lying…” Fang Ning shook his head in contempt.
“Oh, go and purify it then, see if it can be completely converted?” Sir was still quite dubious.
“Hah, now I’ll let you see if my Buddhist mantra improved again.”
Fang Ning’s discussion with sir was brought to a halt, he put his chopsticks down and “coughed” once.
Upon hearing him, Tom the black cat was startled. What would this mighty being be up to this time?
Right then, Chong Daqing took the opportunity to grab another big fish away…
“Virtuous talents, it’s a rare occasion that we’re all gathered together, I have something to say.” Fang Ning spoke in an earnest tone.
Heroic Achievement “Unparalleled Affection” began to play its part soundlessly.
At the same time, the crowd placed their chopsticks down, whereas the great green insect was the only one who used this time to eat all it could. It was still little anyway, thus nobody paid attention to it. Only plates that kept going empty reminded everyone that a borer was present.
“Now, people from the upper realm are descending one after another. Earlier on, there was Demon Lord Zhi Nan who deluded the people, later on, there was Ling Yunzi who had ulterior motives, a chaotic world is approaching. Since ancient times, only by uniting forces, people were able to make differences during troubled times. The greater ones can pacify the world, and bless the people, whereas the smaller ones can protect themselves behind closed doors, and seek temporary ease in isolation.”
His voice was so dense that it sounded to solemn and holy, which convinced the people.
Tom the black cat secretly nodded to itself. ‘This is a basic element. For those who get the last laugh, they have a stronger centrifugal force. For those who drifted away, none of them succeeded.
“I’m only present through God’s will, and I’m fortunate to have been assisted by all of you wise people, and I started off in a rather developed area. Together, we were able to support other villages, while settling down people from our own area, and we had rooms for maneuver. A virtuous person is only possible through help from the public, this is what it is.
“From today on, everybody should bear this in their minds. We’re all righteous individuals, we must be of one heart and one mind, and be upright at all times. This is so that we can carry things through the end, achieve fulfillment, and protect ourselves.”
The others nodded in agreement as they resonated with him.
Whatever he said was the truth, but more often than not, the truth was harder for people to take in. On the other hand, empty words were more pleasing to the ear.
The Sky Eagle couple looked at each other, and were having pure thoughts. With the righteous Venerable Dragon God as their backbone, they were naturally fearless, as long as they remain upright.
Regarding this, it was exceptionally tough to achieve it in this cultivation world where the weak were prey to the strong. Many people wanted to be righteous but could not manage to, hence they could only drift away slowly, and bullied the weak in order to strengthen themselves.
However, bully a man, and he would do the same to you. Just like a country from the last century that was extremely overbearing, in the end, it needed to surrender and had to give his wealth away
When Bai Ruocang heard him, his face was burning a little. Initially, under Nie Yuan’s delusion, he was having thoughts to go on the evil path. In order to avenge, he was ready to do whatever it would take.
Nonetheless, due to the resonant voice from the Venerable One, he instantly felt as if he was cleansed all over.
That was right. Even though he was enemies with the greater rats, every injustice had its perpetrator, at the very least, he should not involve the innocent. Before he avenged, he had to be certain of his target.
Or else, when the flames of hatred began to spread, he might even burn himself to ashes.
Fang Ning really did not think that his Buddhist mantra had somehow prevented a disaster.
Or else, Bai Ruocang might very well commit an irreparable deed that would make him regret forever…
The black and yellow dogs looked at each other, then they smiled all of a sudden.
Once upon a time, they had mutual respects for each other as they had the same goal. However, due to an insignificant fight for a position, they treated each other as enemies, and pointed teeth at one another. Now when they looked back at all that had happened, it seemed so childish.
As the saying went, “Even after experiencing many troubles, the brotherhood would still be there. At the time of meeting again, they would forget about past betrayal and revenge, with a laugh.”
Tom the black cat held its chopsticks and remained still for a long time. In the past, its education and its environment were full of intrigues, and it was only about using one another. Other than the little female cat, it had never once let down its guard.
Nevertheless, after following Vigilante A around these days, even if it had other thoughts, it was truly able to enjoy some peace in its mind which was infrequent to it.
It even felt that its journey on the path of death that had been stagnant for a long time began progressing slowly once again.
It turned out that it need not absorb too much Death Energy to advance.
Death itself carried the meaning of letting go, which meant peace.
It was not a pronoun for fear, but the common fate of all living beings, and the beginning of rebirth.
At the moment, Chong Daqing only felt that its surrounding became serious all of a sudden, and its eating and munching sound became extra obvious, thus it was rather anxious.
“Can I continue eating?” It asked softly.
“Eat, eat.” Fang Ning replied helplessly.
As expected, an eater was naturally immune to Buddhist mantra, just like Brother Bajie.
