Chapter 863: Ridiculous Little Fatty

The person that hovered above was stunned.
“What? It’s customary to reimburse some spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to the Ascended… but the Ascended in the past have only wilted the flora for an area of thirty to forty feet around them at most. Why is this one today sucking dry a thousand and five hundred miles of the forest? What’s – what’s going on? Could this person be practicing some sort of evil art that specializes in devouring the life of others?”
“So what if that’s the case? What’s it got to do with me? I’d better run quickly now.”
“I thought I’d come and take a peek to see what’s so great… but it’s troublesome if you come to know people like this…”
The silhouette high in the sky vanished instantly.
In Yun Yang’s deific consciousness, Emmie stretched lazily, its leaves looking greener and healthier, and it went back to a deep slumber.
…
“What’s going on?” Yun Yang felt as if his head had been shoved into a cloud of cotton.
“I’ve come to the Bound of Universe officially as an Ascended. What happened earlier has a.s.sured this. Why am I thrown into such a place now? Don’t I have to complete some registration procedure? Shouldn’t there be some guide who provides further arrangements and that sort of thing? Isn’t it…”
Questions bubbled like a fizzy drink in his head, to which he had no answers to.
A moment later when the shower of dust was about done, it dawned clearly on Yun Yang that he had truly been abandoned here.
It was definite that there would be no reception of any sort.
“Heck, I’m still a top-notch expert down in the other realm – to think that there’s actually no welcoming of any kind when I arrive! I don’t even see any living person here, discarded in the wilderness without any sign of life to be seen for thousands of miles… What’s the meaning of this? Biasedness?”
Yun Yang muttered in dissatisfaction. The triumphant air he had exuded earlier had totally vanished.
As he adjusted his feelings and tried to find his bearings, looking up into the sun for orientation, he saw a black dot growing larger and falling like a meteor from the sky. With a loud bang, the black dot sank into the ocean of dust and fine fragments of leaves that had just gained its peace.
Then…
“Cough – cough – cough…”
It was clearly a person who had fallen deep into the thick cus.h.i.+on of dust and was unsurprisingly choking and coughing out the debris. However, his heaving inevitably made him inhale even more dust as his voice sounded extremely coa.r.s.e.
“Cough – cough… What’s this – this…”
Following the complaint, the person could be seen picking himself up with much effort. As Yun Yang’s gaze trailed after the motion, he saw that it was a plump little fatty; the fatty did not look very old either.
The rotund fellow had a round head, a round face, two round eyes, a round nose, a round mouth, a pair of round ears, and a round tummy… He looked rather comedic.
Just as the fatty climbed out of the heap of dust, his hands went straight to rub his eyes as he ‘cleverly’ blew upwards to blow away the fine particles clinging onto his face only for the dirt to scatter everywhere.
He then recalled something…
“F*cking h.e.l.l, why am I blowing? Why am I not using water?”
Immediately, he retrieved a water bag with a flip of his wrist. He poured some water to wash his face and eyes before he shook his head like a dog, flinging the droplets of water away. As his eyes opened to look at his surrounding, he cried out in despair, “Oh mother, what’s become of this? Where’s the forest?”
The fatty cried like he had lost his family, his liveliness draining away from him. There was a huge sense of disbelief bouncing off of him as well as if the borderless finely ground leaves gave him an extreme sense of shock.
The fatty waved his arms, creating a formidable force that swiftly swept the dust thousands of feet around him up and away somewhere. Sometime later, there was a boom; one could imagine a storm of dust landing far away.
The little fatty who had cleared his surroundings did not stop there. Like a hound, he went back and forth across the exposed ground like he was searching for something, looking and sniffing. Once he covered a distance of a hundred feet, he swung his arm to sweep away another area of dust.
As the fellow walked around looking and tossing the ground leaves away as he sniffed, he finally came to where Yun Yang was standing. However, his eyes were never cast upwards. He remained close to the ground to carefully inspect for any oddities, crying out after a moment, “Oh my lord! The marking I made is here, this is definitely that forest. However, where is the forest? Where has it gone to?”
Yun Yang followed the fatty’s gaze, spotting a round rock approximately thirty to forty feet away from him that had been carved into a tortoise, either with a saber or a sword. It looked terribly realistic. The tortoise’s head was stretched out of his sh.e.l.l strenuously and elongated to look out.
Similarly, the little fatty was also stretching his neck as he huddled on the ground, his head turned to look at one side. The both of them looked like a reflection of each other, the carving mirroring its creator.
Yun Yang could not help feeling tickled. This fellow seemed like he would be a fun one!
His amus.e.m.e.nt, subsequently, shocked the fatty under him.
Springing up with a loud pop, the fellow flew hundreds of feet away before he raised his head in panic. He exclaimed, looking at Yun Yang who stood higher up, “Oh my G.o.d, there’s someone here… You – you… Who are you? Why are you here? You – you – are you a man or a ghost? You – what’s happening?”
Yun Yang was speechless.
Looking at the fatty’s movement and cultivation base, he was already an esteemed expert. Yet, it was such an expert who felt nothing despite the fact that Yun Yang had been standing above him for so long. He was just scurrying underneath him, burrowing back and forth like a ground squirrel, and had no idea that a normal-sized grown person was standing right above him. Such a lack of awareness was honestly ridiculous!
Yun Yang sighed inwardly. Such intelligence and such alertness… How did he survive and even grow so fat in a place as dangerous as the Bound of Universe?
Before Yun Yang could speak, however, the fatty reacted rather promptly to the surprise. He backed hundreds of feet away and squinted at Yun Yang in vigilance. Suddenly, the fatty hollered, “Who are you? Where has this forest gone to? You – you – unacceptable! You saw my secret marking just now, didn’t you?”
He continued harshly without waiting for Yun Yang’s reply, “What a thief – how unscrupulous you are! I shall fight with my all today then!”
Letting out a roar, the fatty stood in a stance as if he was ready for death even as he spoke in anguish, “Come, I shall pull you along if I die! Even a worm will turn. How dare you fair-faced boy hara.s.s me like this! Is there still justice – where’s the justice in this?”
Yun Yang was exasperated.
Not only was this fellow absurd, but he was also clearly sick as well.
Instantly, the fatty had turned into a round ball of lightning without a second word. Advancing quickly, a long, golden whip lashed out from his grip aggressively.
Yun Yang, who was experienced in battle, was calm. As he focused his gaze on the fatty, he saw that there was a gleaming ball attached to the latter’s long whip. It was no ordinary whip – it was a meteor hammer!
“Wait!” Yun Yang hollered loudly, his hand upraised after some thought.
Swoos.h.!.+ The fatty skipped hundreds of feet back again like he had been bitten by a snake.
“Scared? It’s good that you’re scared now!”
The meteor hammer flew back, following his retreat, almost bas.h.i.+ng its owner’s head in.
