Chapter 109 - Agreements
"Boss! Boss! Look over there!" The fat cow anxiously said to Xiang Yun.Xiang Yun hurriedly sat up when he heard this, a look of vigilance on his face. He knew that a wild beast had appeared and was being discovered by Fatty Niu.
Xiang Yun first listened attentively to the sounds in all four directions, but he did not hear any sound of wild beasts.
He looked doubtfully at Fatty Niu, only to see the guy give him a look of excitement before pointing to the front right.Looking in the direction pointed out by Fatty Niu, Xiang Yun"s eyes were focused on a woman dressed in black, riding a horse in the distance.
Even though the latter was clad in armor, the graceful curves of her body, as well as her exquisite figure, were hard to conceal. Her beauty was extremely alluring, and Xiang Yun was able to recognize this woman"s ident.i.ty with a single glance.
"Xiang Fei!" What is she doing here? "
While Xiang Yun was deep in thought, Fatty Niu had already galloped his horse, kicking up a cloud of dust and dust in the direction of Xiang Fei. Judging from his pig-face, he must have harboured malicious intentions.Xiang Yun had no choice but to slowly ride the horse and follow.
When he arrived beside the two of them, he heard the shameless old fart of Fatty Niu.
"Your Highness, I didn"t think that I would be able to see you in this kind of place. It is truly fate!"
Hearing this, Xiang Fei shot a cold glance at Fatty Niu and said indifferently, "So it"s Young Master Niu."
Fatty Niu quickly continued, "Princess, how can you travel alone in this deep forest? I"m also alone. How about you let me protect you!"
Xiang Yun, who had coincidentally arrived just beside the two of them, was instantly stunned upon hearing this.
"Cough, cough." Xiang Yun coughed dryly twice, indicating his existence.
It was at this moment that the fat cow turned his head to look at Xiang Yun, his fat face revealing a surprised expression as he asked.
"Aiya, isn"t this His Highness the crown prince? You came just like that? What a coincidence, we"ve only met in such a big forest!""Hey, Your Highness, if you have any matters to attend to, you can leave first. I"ll protect your highness." As Fatty Niu said this, he even winked at Xiang Yun, an "you know" expression on his face.
When Xiang Yun heard this and saw Fatty Niu"s vulgar expression, he was so angry that he began to laugh.
d.a.m.n you, fatty, you"re really too heartless. You don"t even want your own brother when you see the Princess of the Pheonix. He didn"t even look at who this woman was.Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xiang Fei frowned as she glanced at the fat cow and coldly said, "Young Master Niu, I"m not used to travelling with others. It"s better if you don"t follow me!"
Naturally, Fatty Niu would not be discouraged. He continued to speak reluctantly.
"How can that be? Your Highness, you have a golden body. If no one is to protect you, what will happen if you are injured? I must stay by your side to be at ease, don"t you think so, Your Highness?"
Fatty Niu looked righteously at Xiang Yun, blinking several times. Xiang Yun had no words to refute this man whose face was like a city wall as he looked at this man covered in pig gall. He could only smile coyly and nod his head."Yes, yes, yes, Young Master Niu is right. Young Master Niu, Princess, I will take my leave first."
"Don"t move!"
Xiang Yun didn"t have the time to turn his horse when Xiang Fei, who was behind him, suddenly shouted in a low voice!
Xiang Yun subconsciously reined in his reins as he halted his movements. Fatty Niu also shut his mouth that he was just about to say something!
The two of them turned to look at Xiang Fei at the same time. The latter suddenly pulled out the longbow on her back, her other hand moving as fast as lightning as she pulled out a black-feathered silver arrow from the quiver behind her!In the next moment, the black-armoured Xiang Fei suddenly gripped the horse"s body with her legs. Her body leaned backward, one hand holding the bow to the sky, the other holding the bowstring to draw the arrow. Under the sudden force of her arm, the bow, which was as tall as a man, was suddenly pulled to a full bowstring!
"Clang!"Under Xiang Yun"s and Fatty Niu"s dazed gazes, the black feathered silver arrow in Xiang Fei"s hand glowed with a crystalline brilliance as it wrapped around the silver arrow!
In the next moment, a wave of awe-inspiring might emanated from the body of the arrow, shocking Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu.
At almost the same time, Xiang Fei had already released her bowstring. That silver arrow with black feathers shot up into the sky like a shocking rainbow, piercing through the sky!
"Chirp!"
In the next moment after the silver arrow shot out of the forest, a loud mournful cry resounded in the sky. Then, a flapping sound could be heard, followed by a violent shaking above the forest, followed by a howling gale!
Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu raised their heads to see a ma.s.sive figure descend from the sky, smashing heavily onto the ground a few feet in front of them, raising dust everywhere!Xiang Yun covered his nose and mouth as he focused his gaze. He saw that this enormous being was actually a bird that was over the height of a man. Its wings were spread out like a dark cloud, and all its feathers were black and white!
The beak of the bird was as sharp as a blade and slightly curved like a hook. It had a blood-red line on top of its head. Its eyes were like a cat"s, and its appearance was that of an eagle"s.
However, at the moment, the bird was pierced through by a silver arrow with black feathers. The arrow protruded from the back of the bird"s head as blood spilled out. The bird only struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground!
"This is the Five Cloud Mystical Beast Blood Eagle!" At least, the ox fatty had some experience, so he was able to recognize the giant bird at a glance!
There were Cloud Warriors on the Seven Stars Continent. When cultivating on a human body, there were naturally Beast Cultivators on the other side of the continent. Cloud Beasts were powerful beasts that cultivated in the Cloud Power.
Similar to human cultivation grade cla.s.sification, cloud beasts were also divided into one cloud beast, two cloud beasts, and seven cloud beasts. Similar to human cultivation grade cla.s.sification, cloud beasts were also separated into one cloud, two cloud beasts, and seven cloud beasts.The latter possessed an unrivalled physical strength. Cloud Beasts of the same level would usually be much stronger than human cultivators. With the Five Cloud Blood Eagle"s strength, it could even compare to a human Six Cloud Martial pract.i.tioner.
Let alone dealing with other people, even if this Blood Eagle were to fight with Fatty Niu, no matter how much flesh Fatty Niu had, it would not be able to withstand a few pecks from this fellow.However, such a formidable existence had actually died on the spot in an instant under the arrow of Princess Pheonix. This strength simply caused even the heart of Fatty Niu to tremble! "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Looking at the two of them looking at each other in dismay, Xiang Fei thrust a red flag behind her into the ground. A hunting flag with the word "Xiang" fluttering in it, stood there unmoving.
"I don"t need anyone to protect me. It"s better if you protect yourselves."
In the blink of an eye, she had already galloped away on her horse, her figure disappearing into the depths of the forest.
"Hu!"
After a long while, Fatty Niu finally let out a long breath and looked at the body of the blood eagle with a shocked expression. He then turned to look at Xiang Yun, a look of patience evident on his face.
"Boss, this princess is really fierce. If I knew earlier, I wouldn"t have come here to speak with her. For no reason at all, I"ve been looked down upon." Fatty Ox said as he patted his heart that was still beating like a thunderclap.
As for Xiang Yun, he shot a glance at Fatty Niu before tossing out a line as he rode the horse forward.
"It"s best if you don"t say too much. If you"re ugly, you should read more."
"Boss, you don"t have to use personal attacks like that." Fatty Niu mumbled to himself as he rode his horse to catch up with them.
"I"m only telling the truth." Xiang Yun moved forward leisurely.
The two of them continued on their way, but Fatty Niu was still nowhere to be seen. He did not manage to catch even a single prey. Xiang Yun did not have the slightest bit of disapproval as he continued his sightseeing.
Following that, Fatty Niu also lost his interest in hunting. He also put away his Sunflower Dew Bow and rode alongside Xiang Yun.
"Boss, you said that you came to this hunting grounds. Why are you only here to watch the scenery? Why aren"t you picking up your bow and arrows? At the very least, you should be able to beat a hare."
Xiang Yun turned to look at the fat cow, who was sweating profusely but had no effort at all. He smiled and shook his head, continuing to look around at the plants and trees.
"Hunting is boring. Besides, these animals didn"t provoke you, so why do you want to hurt them?"
"Eh, Boss, I see that you"ve really changed a lot."
Fatty Ox moved his huge belly onto the horse"s back, wiped off his sweat and sized up the leisurely Xiang Yun as he said somewhat suddenly.
"Oh, how can I change?"Fatty Niu revealed a rare grave expression. He was serious as he carefully sized up Xiang Yun. "Does it look like this? There isn"t the slightest change. It"s just that he"s a little more spirited."
"That"s nonsense."
Fatty Niu waved his hand again. "But Boss, I feel that your personality has changed. I feel like you have no desires at all, but you seem to have a huge ambition. How strange!"
"Hmm?"
Xiang Yun immediately looked at Fatty Niu with interest. Ever since Xiang Yun had met Fatty Niu, this fellow"s words had never been reliable. However, today"s words caused Xiang Yun"s heart to tremble!
"He seems to have no desire, but he has a huge desire!"
This phrase perfectly described Xiang Yun. Naturally, Xiang Yun no longer cared about drinking and gambling. Back then, he had been obsessed with pursuit like the little crown prince. Now, Xiang Yun was in charge of the Jin Yong Warrior System.
Whether it was cultivating the Art of Creation to the Great Perfection Stage, establishing the number one sect in the world, or defeating some unknown "Seven Stars Divine Palace".To others, these three mountains that had been placed on Xiang Yun were an unimaginable pursuit. Naturally, they would be worthy of the words" great desire and desire ".
"Fatty Ox, I suddenly realized the truth behind your words." Xiang Yun suddenly looked seriously at Fatty Niu.
"What truth?" With a face full of curiosity, Fatty Niu leaned his head over.
"A wise man must worry, and a fool must worry, and a fool must think!"
"Haha, Boss, if you praise me like this, I"ll be shy. I do sometimes lose my head, but I"m not a wise man."
Xiang Yun rolled his eyes, "You"re the latter."
"Ugh!"
"Fatty Niu, are you interested in me doing something big with you!?" Xiang Yun suddenly said with a stern expression towards Fatty Niu.Upon hearing this, Fatty Niu raised his head proudly and said, "Boss, I"m interested in all of the major issues that you"ve mentioned, hehe!"
"What I"m talking about is the real thing. It"s the thing that can easily cost you your life!"
Xiang Yun emphasized again that his eyes were like torches, his expression extremely solemn. It actually caused Fatty Niu, who was originally laughing, to involuntarily stop smiling.
"Boss, you, you"re serious?" the fat cow asked cautiously.He had known Xiang Yun for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a solemn gaze like this. It actually caused him to feel somewhat panicked for a moment.
"I"m just asking you, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
Xiang Yun"s expression was still solemn, a bright light seemed to be circulating within his eyes. He extended a palm towards Fatty Niu, waiting for the latter"s reply.
For some reason, the answer to this simple question was" yes or no ". Yet, Fatty Ox felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain. He felt as if he was in an illusion.
It was as if this answer could affect his entire life and was of utmost importance to him. He could not help but think about it seriously!
After a long while, the fat cow Fatty"s face suddenly twitched, then he abruptly stretched out a hand, heavily slamming it onto the hand that Xiang Yun had been waiting for!
"Pah!"
"I dare!" With just two short words, Fatty Niu gave his answer!
Xiang Yun"s face finally revealed a trace of a smile as he looked at Fatty Niu"s chubby face, revealing an expression of unprecedented appreciation!
This strange gaze from Xiang Yun made Fatty Niu feel somewhat uncomfortable. He thought to himself, Boss can"t be interested in men now, right? Especially men with ample stature like me.
What he did not know was that the simple "I dare" and the clapping of hands today would represent a promise and agreement that was even heavier than the heavens and earth in the near future!
