Chapter 477 Gong Juanzi's overtures
"Cangmao, why are you back? And Fellow Daoist Lu—" Gong Juanzi asked after seeing Lu Hao and the others come up.
"Gong Juanzi, you were just fiercely fighting with me over there, poking a wicked crow to death. That wicked crow was so evil; it not only occupied my fishing island but also tried to harm me—"
As soon as the cat saw Gong Juanzi, it began to tell him about the bad crow it had encountered.
"Wait a minute—Azure Cat, you just said you killed a giant crow at the island where you were fishing before?"
Gong Juanzi grasped the key point in Cangmao's words. If he remembered correctly, the place where the Emperor had just fallen was not far from where he and Cangmao had been fishing.
"Yeah, that wicked crow is too wicked. Not only did it reach the level of a titled True God, but it also gathered a group of True God demon beasts, occupied the island, and viciously killed them all—and it even had True God drinks and roasted beef."
As if thinking of something, Cang Mao unconsciously drooled again.
Gong Juanzi's last glimmer of hope was shattered when she heard Cangmao's words. The Emperor Venerable just now was indeed killed by Lu Hao and the others. Gong Juanzi knew the division of strength. In ancient times, their current Emperor Venerables were called titled True Gods. However, during the North-South War, everyone was the leader of a faction and the lord of a realm. It was no longer appropriate to call them peak True Gods. So, they were gradually called Emperor Venerables.
Gong Juanzi looked at Lu Hao. After all, he knew what kind of abilities Cang Mao possessed. At most, he was only at the peak of True God level. How could he possibly deal with an Emperor? So it must have been Lu Hao who did it. But before, Lu Hao's strength was even inferior to his own. Now, Gong Juanzi shifted his gaze to Lu Hao, unable to discern his strength or sense it at all. That meant Lu Hao was much stronger than himself. "Fellow Daoist Lu, you—"
"Gong Juanzi, it was me. My strength had improved a bit before, and I just happened to run into him and took him out. And don't worry, we were in the Forbidden Sea the whole way, and no one outside noticed that it was us. No one will come looking for us."
Lu Hao said with a smile that although he was strong enough to suppress all voices, that was only for outsiders. Gong Juanzi was one of Cang Mao's people, so she was not an enemy. Therefore, he still had to explain.
"Fellow Daoist Lu has truly given me a pleasant surprise. The momentum hasn't even fully unfolded yet, and Fellow Daoist Lu has already taken the lead. It seems that in this major event, Fellow Daoist Lu is destined to stand out from the crowd."
Upon hearing Lu Hao's answer, Gong Juanzi sighed for a long time before saying that he had spent half his life cultivating before becoming a True God. He then went through countless trials and tribulations to earn the title of the Great Emperor of the North Sea before finally reaching the Emperor level. He remembered that Lu Hao had said he was only twenty years old and had already reached a level of strength surpassing the Emperor level. It seemed that Cang Mao's choice was correct. Only such a prodigy could have the last laugh, and only such a prodigy was the true chosen one.
"It's still early. After all, the big picture hasn't arrived yet, so anything we say now is meaningless. I came here to borrow a place from Juanzi to cultivate in seclusion. The commotion from killing the giant crow was too great, and with Cangmao here, it's not very convenient to cultivate in seclusion. Don't worry, if Your Majesty needs anything in the future, as long as it doesn't violate the bottom line of humanity, I will definitely do it."
Lu Hao said, "After all, Gong Juanzi took a risk for me, so it wouldn't be a problem for me to help Gong Juanzi once in the future. Fellow Daoist Lu, you flatter me. With my friendship with Cangmao spanning thousands of years, I'm not afraid of any storms from the outside world. You can come here anytime to cultivate in seclusion."
Gong Juanzi quickly said that his own strength was not enough and he might die in this great trend. So if he wanted to survive, he could only follow the right person and choose the right direction. And now the answer was right in front of him. Cangmao was following the Chosen One, and with Lu Hao's current rate of improvement, he definitely had a chance to become an emperor in the end. If he didn't sell now, when would he sell now?
Gong Juanzi wasn't the kind of person who was pedantic. What was shameful about clinging to someone's coattails? He survived because he wanted to see the real pinnacle. As long as he could meet Lu Hao, he would die without regrets.
"Gong Juanzi, why is this place still so bare? I've been away for so long, and there's not a single change."
The gray cat looked left and right and complained.
"Azure Cat, don't you know what my realm was like before? You ate it all up, and my body is still dormant. How could I have time to rebuild my realm?"
Gong Juanzi said speechlessly, "The cat is the best person to answer why this place is so bare."
"Hmph, I don't care. You're the one abusing me and not giving me any good food. I followed you and ate lots of delicious food. Oh, right, Gong Juanzi, this is called potato chips. Why don't you try some?"
As Cangmao spoke, he took out a bag of potato chips from his cat world and threw it into the golden lake.
"Azure Cat, my golden body is still dormant and I cannot eat for the time being. You can keep it for yourself."
Gong Juanzi, speechless, used her mental power to catch the potato chips that Cangmao threw down. If Cangmao had actually thrown them in, Gong Juanzi wouldn't know whether she should stay there any longer.
With a wave of her hand, Gong Juanzi presented three cups of spiritual tea brewed with immortal substances to the three of them. "Come, Fellow Daoist Lu, you rushed here without resting. Have a cup of tea first. This tea was picked from a demonic plant of a true god when I was traveling through the Bitter Sea years ago. Brewing it with immortal substances gives it a unique flavor."
"1
Lu Hao remained silent, glancing at the lake of indestructible matter behind him. Could the indestructible matter in the cup used for brewing tea possibly be—
That lake of immortal matter contains the golden statue of Gong Juanzi, which has been submerged there for over a thousand years.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, rest assured, these did not come from the lake, but from a separate, stored portion of immortal matter."
Gong Juanzi saw Lu Hao looking behind him and knew what he was thinking. He had taken this out to improve his favorability, so how could he possibly use the immortal substance in the lake?
"Gong Juanzi, this is so delicious! Is there any more? I'd like another cup."
As the two were talking, Cangmao had already swallowed the entire cup in front of it and showed the empty cup to Gong Juanzi. Seeing how much Cangmao was wasting its time, Gong Juanzi felt a little sorry for it. The indestructible matter was fine, but there wasn't much spiritual tea left.
"That's all, go eat your potato chips—" Gong Juanzi said irritably.
Meanwhile, Jiao glanced at Lu Hao, then at Cang Mao, unsure how to handle the cup of immortal matter. After all, it was just a lowly ninth-rank cultivator who had suddenly stumbled into the world of a powerful figure, and it was quite apprehensive. It pondered whether to give the cup to the cat, given the immense kindness the cat had shown it.
"Little dog, drink up! You'll grow big if you drink it all! Drink up, drink up!"
The blue cat sensed the puppy's thoughts and said, "After all, the puppy is still too weak, and it can't possibly compete with the puppy for food."
