“Is that weirdo with the eye fetish also chatting with you?” At the same time, Striped Dragon Two sensed the hidden message in Song Shuhangs recent reply— the three-eyed guy had also received the ‘Netherworld Realm information.’
Song Shuhang was speechless.
From the tone of his response, it seemed that Striped Dragon Two indeed had some history with the Three-Eyed Youth.
If he were to screenshot Striped Dragon Two’s reply and send it to the Three-Eyed Youth… These two big shots might resort to using the Netherworld Ruler’s Brain.
Of course, before they engaged in such a battle, he, as the middleman, would not fare well. He might become the battleground where the Three-Eyed junior and Striped Dragon Two fought from a distance, suffering undeserved calamity.
So, it was best to just think about such thrilling scenarios. Actually doing it would be too reckless—at least until his body was strong enough to handle the confrontation between the two big shots.
“What did you do to that eye fetish guy? Why is he also receiving ‘Netherworld Realm information?” Striped Dragon Two followed up with another question.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
What did I do to him? I didn’t do anything!
Wait, I actually did something quite outrageous to the Three-Eyed Youth.
“I once hung him on a demon G.o.d pillar and set him on fire?” Song Shuhang tentatively replied—this incident left a deep impression on him because he regretted not making a wish while hanging and burning alongside the eye butler.
Striped Dragon Two: n ! ! !”
The three exclamation marks indicated that Striped Dragon Two was three times more shocked than before.
Striped Dragon Two immediately asked, “How did you manage to do that?”
Given Song Shuhangs abilities, he was able to hang the eye fetish guy on a demon G.o.d pillar?
“This is a bit embarra.s.sing to talk about, so… I’d prefer to remain silent,” Song Shuhang responded. He still had some dignity, after all. Some things were about a man’s pride, and he couldn’t let that slip.
“Two karmic loans!” Striped Dragon Two replied, “You still owe me a karma after you used the Karma Saber Technique last time. Now, if you tell me how you hung the eye fetish guy on the demon G.o.d pillar and burned him, I’ll grant you two karmic loans. After you repay the karma you owe me, you can borrow from me again the next time you use the Karma Saber Technique!’
Ah, tempting indeed!
Looking at the seven karmic debt marks on his wrist, Song Shuhang couldn’t resist Striped Dragon Two’s offer.
“What makes a man set aside his dignity and swallow his pride?
“Is it the enemy’s might? Is it precious friends.h.i.+p?
“No, none of that!
“It’s poverty, the enormous debt owed by a responsible man!”
Thus, Song Shuhang quickly replied, “Actually… It was an accident. I originally wanted to show the Three-Eyed senior my ‘illusory reality— that’s the ‘fake desert world’ I copied from Senior White. In this illusory world, demon G.o.d pillars would randomly rise and hang ‘me’ on them to burn. But, the
Three-Eyed senior happened to be standing in the perfect spot. When the demon G.o.d pillar shot up from the desert, it hung the Three-Eyed senior on it and burned him with raging demon fire.”
Striped Dragon Two was speechless.
The reality of the situation was different from what he had imagined, and upon learning the story’s details, he realized the ‘pleasure’ of the story had diminished significantly!
“Some stories are enjoyable simply for their ending, but once you know the details, they lose their appeal.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked Song Shuhang about it. I could have savored the fact that he hung the eye fetish guy on the demon G.o.d pillar and burned him for a long time.”
Striped Dragon Two somewhat sullenly tapped his claws and sent two karmic loans to Song Shuhang.
“One to offset the debt, and the other remaining with Song Shuhang as proof he could use the Karma Saber Technique next time.
“Just consider it a gift for Cheng Lin,” Striped Dragon Two thought to himself.
“Thank you for the two karmic loans, senior,” Song Shuhang said cheerfully. One of the seven karmic debt marks on his wrist disappeared, replaced by a small dragon-shaped mark.
“It’s nothing. Next time you find an opportunity to hang the eye fetish guy again, I’ll grant you three more karmic loans!” Striped Dragon Two said boldly.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Maybe not. I might earn the karma but not be able to spend it.
At this point, Striped Dragon Two added, “Even if you have other plans, as long as you can satisfy the eye fetish guy and make me happy, I’ll grant you the corresponding number of karmic loans! ”
Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, “Actually, I’ve also gambled with the Three-Eyed senior several times, winning quite a lot from him each time. Does that count?”
“Pfft, what’s that? Do you think you’ve gained an advantage like I did? But you were just cleaning up the trash for its family. And while doing so, you were unknowingly helping it distribute its wealth and working for it. From start to finish, you didn’t gain anything. You’re still at a loss!” Striped Dragon Two said disdainfully.
Song Shuhang silently looked up at the sky. “I’m willing to do this kind of trash cleaning! I’m willing to suffer this loss! No matter how many losses, I’ll take them all!”
“If your house has similar ‘trash,’ I’m willing to come and collect it,” Song Shuhang reminded.
“The ‘trash’ you big shots talk about isn’t trash at all. It’s wealth!”
“Do you think I’m like that eye fetish guy? My house is full of trash? Other than real treasures, there’s nothing else in my house! I’m a clean dragon,” Striped Dragon Two said calmly, burning the freshly fried tea leaves in the trash can into ashes with its dragon breath.
The ‘trash’ in its house? Non-existent!
After cleaning the trash can, Striped Dragon Two sent Song Shuhang a message: “What’s the deal with your fake Song Youyou? I can feel that you’ve utilized some power related to me?”
“In simple terms, Senior White Two was tired and wanted to sleep, so he gave me some of the Netherworld Ruler’s authority. And because of a series of coincidences, the fake Netherworld Ruler, Song Youyou, was born within me. In my country’s terms, I’m now a temporary Netherworld Ruler,” Song
Shuhang replied. “I just used the monitoring function of the Netherworld Realm to check its current situation and manage the demons there. I didn’t expect it would involve you and the Three-Eyed senior.”
“You? Managing the Netherworld Realm? A temporary Netherworld Ruler?” Striped Dragon Two fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, “Need any help?”
After stepping down from the position of Netherworld Ruler for so long, he suddenly began to miss the Netherworld a little..
