Chapter 967: The Green Ox’s Origin!
“Stupid ox, are you pretending to be dead?”
The Patriarch of h.e.l.l smirked sinisterly, “Believe it or not, I’ll take the opportunity to boil you whole while the cauldron is still hot!”
Following his words, the green ox that had fainted earlier jumped like a carp and stood up with its two hind legs.
Plop!
Under everyone’s gaze, it knelt heavily before the patriarch like a human and said with tears br.i.m.m.i.n.g in its eyes, “Father, I’m actually your long-lost son…”
Everyone was speechless.
Yang Tian was so shocked that he could not close his mouth!
‘D*mn!
‘This stupid ox is really shameless!’
The green ox knelt and walked over. It hugged the patriarch’s thigh tightly and wiped its snot and tears on him, “As the saying goes, even a vicious tiger won’t eat its cubs. Do you really want to eat me?”
The patriarch took the bag of remaining Malboro from its body, then took out a stick of cigarette and held it in his mouth.
Boom…
The green ox cooperated and opened his mouth to spew a stream of fire. It personally lit the cigarette for the patriarch and then nodded and bowed as it ma.s.saged the patriarch’s back and legs.
Everyone’s worldview was shattered as they watched.
“At least you know your place!”
After one cigarette, the patriarch nodded in satisfaction, “By the way, what’s your name again?”
The green ox seemed to be in a dilemma. When it saw the patriarch’s expression turn grim, it rubbed its hands and said shyly, “Master, my name is Niuniu…”
Luo Shuiyao was the first to have failed to refrain from laughing.
“Hahaha…”
Yang Tian did not even bother to hide his laughter. He was laughing so hard that he was rocking back and forth, “Niuniu, oh my G.o.d, I’m laughing so hard that my eyes hurt!”
Ye Chen could not help but laugh.
The green ox seemed to have already guessed everyone’s reaction. It gritted its teeth and said, “It was given by my old master who killed thousands of people!”
The moment that was said, a gleam flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, “Who was your previous master?”
If the green ox was a quasi-saint, perhaps only a saint was worthy of being its master.
“Dead!”
The green ox squeezed out a few drops of tears and opened its mouth to say, “Old master never came back after ascending to heaven to fight Immortals.”
At that moment, Yang Tian rushed in front of it. He was holding a bamboo tube in his hand, and he kept shaking before the green ox’s eyes.
“Brat, what are you doing?” The green ox said angrily.
‘What kind of person is this?
‘Can’t you see that I’m reminiscing about my old master?
‘How disappointing!’
Yang Tian said in all seriousness, “I heard that ordinary people can see ghosts after applying ox’s tears. That’s why I want to take some. Don’t waste them.”
Green ox was speechless.
“Fighting Immortals?”
Even the Patriarch of h.e.l.l was stunned. He pulled the ox over, “Are you saying that there are Immortals on Earth?”
“P-Probably!”
The green ox said with some uncertainty, “Anyway, back then, old master’s friends called all of those people Immortals, so I guess they are Immortals…”
Ye Chen and the Patriarch of h.e.l.l understood roughly after it told them what happened. A group of people from another world had descended on Earth. They were powerful and were trying to force the cultivators on Earth to submit.
However, there was no lack of powerhouses among the cultivators on Earth. One of them was the green ox’s master. He had established the Immortal Execution Union and killed his way into heaven alone.
Since then, the master had not returned. Not long after, the group of people who had attempted to attack Earth had also disappeared.
Ye Chen and the Patriarch of h.e.l.l looked at each other. They could guess that the Immortals the green ox was talking about must be the powerhouses from the outer world. Those who called themselves Immortals must be cultivators.
In other words, cultivators from the outer world had descended on Earth before. No wonder many saints chose to leave this world during the Pre-qin period.
“After Master left and never returned, I was afraid that his enemies would find me, so I stayed in the temple to sleep!”
The green ox sighed faintly, “I slept for over a hundred years. Every time I woke up from hunger, I would go out to find food. After I was full, I would go back to sleep…”
Luo Shuiyao said with a strange expression, “Does that mean that your cultivation base came from sleeping?”
“That’s right, sleeping makes one a quasi-saint!”
The green ox nodded its head repeatedly, “Old master is right, the outside world is too dangerous. Every time I wake up and go out, I will see disastrous battlefields. I looted all of the supreme medicines from the dead bodies.”
Ye Chen secretly nodded.
The green ox’s words also verified his suspicions one after another. After the Qin dynasty, the saints from the nine schools left this world. There were still many descendants who were not willing to leave their homeland.
Without the suppression of the nine saints, these people would naturally start a war over resources. Thus, the number of saints decreased until the great calamity 500 years ago completely disappeared.
As for the green ox, because it slept, it avoided all of those dangers, becoming a quasi-saint that had slept since ancient times.
‘Sleeping made one a quasi-saint!’
Hearing the green ox’s pretentious words, the corners of Luo Tianya’s lips twitched a few times. He had the urge to kill someone.
“Your old master is probably dead!”
The Patriarch of h.e.l.l waved his hand unhappily, “I think you’re quite talented. Coincidentally, I need a lackey to serve me tea. You can follow us from now on.”
Everyone thought that it would hesitate. Who would have thought that it would walk to Ye Chen obediently and say while nodding and bowing, “Greetings, First Master!”
It was a smart ox. It knew that Ye Chen had the highest cultivation level among all of them. Moreover, everyone seemed to take him as their leader. Therefore, he called Ye Chen ‘First Master’ without thinking.
Then, it turned around to look at the Patriarch of h.e.l.l and said with a smile, “Greetings, Second Master!”
Yang Tian walked over and patted its shoulder when he saw that. He grinned, “I’ll be your Third Master from now on!”
The smile on the green ox’s face suddenly vanished as it looked at Yang Tian with disdain, “Little brat, scram to the side and don’t bother me!”
Yang Tian was speechless.
At that moment, Mengmeng, who was in Ye Chen’s embrace, could not hold it in anymore. She kept waving her little hands, “Daddy, I want to ride that ox…”
The green ox immediately took back its broken horns and hooves. With a sway of its body, it transformed into an ordinary ox.
Ye Chen then placed Mengmeng on the green ox’s back. He was not afraid that it would have any tricks up its sleeve. Even if it did, he could save her first.
‘This girl’s spiritual energy is so terrifying!’
On the other hand, the green ox’s thoughts started to run wildly, ‘She’s a human-shaped supreme treasure pill. If I were to eat her, I might be able to step into the Saint Stage…’
When it was deep in thought, it saw Yang Tian staring at it with wide eyes.
The green ox said angrily, “Brat, what are you looking at?”
“I want to see when you’re going to attack my niece. This way, I’ll have another chance to feast on an ox banquet!”
Yang Tian gulped as he spoke, “Ox p.e.n.i.s, shank, tendon, tripes. Tsk tsk, just the thought of it is making me drool…”
The green ox s.h.i.+vered!
It had completely given up on its evil plan!
