Chapter 837: Divine Punishment
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Vigilante A’s departure, the Black Dog Brett and the White Fox crouched near a crater valley and observed the gates of the Azure Mountain through a gap.
“Huh, Little Black, you’ve picked an inappropriate vantage point.”
As the Black Dog scoped the view with the pair of binoculars given to it by its master, the White Fox reminded it about this at once.
“Huh, Sister White, what’s wrong with that?” The Black Dog Brett looked around. It was now crouching behind a white rock located within a narrow gap in the valley. It was a convenient hiding spot to observe the surroundings on the outside.
The White Fox replied anxiously. “People might not see you from the ground, but they can see you clearly from the sky.”
“Uh…” The Black Dog looked around and gulped.
Suddenly, it clenched its tail and recalled an incident that occurred a few years ago… When Robert was ordered by a thug to kill the master’s dogs, why was it the one being targeted instead of Old Yellow, despite the presence of two dogs?
‘The reason is I am too dark and it is not easy to camouflage myself outdoors, unlike Old Yellow.’
It quickly thanked the Fox. “Thank you for your reminder, Sister White. I shall change a hiding spot immediately.”
“Look, there’s a meteoric iron over there, it suits you better.” The White Fox pointed at an area next to them.
“Eh, I see, thank you for your help.” The Black Dog glanced at that spot and felt satisfied.
The meteoric iron was of a black-brownish color which suited itself.
In fact, it knew the technique of changing its color. Changing color was easy enough, but doing so would not necessarily hide itself from the powerhouses’ senses…
The fluctuations generated from using magic were still obvious.
Once the Black Dog relocated to the new hiding spot, the White Fox asked again. “The talisman given to you by your master looks rather impressive. Can it really see past the G.o.ds’ disguises?”
The Black Dog heard this and felt proud. “Absolutely. My master’s weapon-crafting ability is one of a kind. Many of his talismans can’t be crafted by the Upper Realm deities.”
As it spoke, it observed its surroundings and took out a handphone from the white jade ring on its dark hind leg.
“See this, Sister White? It’s no ordinary handphone.” Brett explained smugly. “This device is capable of summoning the Dragon G.o.d. No wonder where I am, if I’m in danger, I just have to press this b.u.t.ton and my master will come over immediately to rescue me.”
“Ah…” The White Fox was stunned. It did not expect this insignificant little black dog to be of great importance in the eyes of the handsome Dragon G.o.d.
It exclaimed in awe. “Very impressive, indeed. This sort of talisman is unheard of in the Upper Realm. The saints probably have talismans with similar functions, but they have plenty of limitations and are very rare and expensive. They aren’t as amazing as this device of yours.”
“Of course, I was rewarded with this talisman as I used to risk my life for my master for years.” The Black Dog said proudly.
Argh, he was a bonafide Prince Charming, highly-skilled in martial arts with an abundance of talismans. Plus, he had good looks. This sort of man was hard to come by in the Upper Realm.
The White Fox went starry-eyed and sank into a flurry of delusional thoughts, wholly oblivious to the Black Dog’s bragging.
The Black Dog noticed its reaction and was aware of the Fox’s thoughts.
It felt depressed. Apparently, the reason for the Fox’s conversation with it was to find out more about its master…
As it thought of this, it remarked wryly, “Actually, there are quite a number of women in this realm who are attracted to my master. However, my master’s a decent man and refuses intimate relations.h.i.+ps with women. Sister White Fox, I would advise you to stop wasting your feelings on him…”
“Eh, Little Black, what are you getting at? You don’t understand a thing about feelings.” The White Fox brushed its coat of white fur and s.h.i.+fted its tail.
“Oh, is that so? Right, Sister, if you can introduce a potential partner to me, I can tell you about my master’s favorite type of woman…” The Black Dog suggested.
“Eh…” The White Fox looked at it from top to toe and finally spoke between clenched teeth. “Alright, you seem like an earnest dog who won’t fool around, so I’ll introduce one of my sisters to you. However, I can’t guarantee whether the relations.h.i.+p will be successful.”
“Thank you very much, Sister. To tell the truth, my master’s preference is very simple. He likes a woman who’s rich, fair and beautiful… Hehe.” The Black Dog was overjoyed and told the White Fox about this.
“Uh…” Two large drops of sweat fell from the White Fox’s head.
“Unfortunately, I’ve left the dowry that I have reserved for thousands of years in the Upper Realm. An entire land, countless servants, infinite piles of gold and silver and soil of the finest quality…” It said dejectedly. “And I’m now a poor fox.”
As the Black Dog listened, he felt a twinge of sympathy and added. “Me too, when Old Yellow and I descended to Earth, both of us were so poor that we had to steal someone else’s meals, and we nearly ended up as dog stew for the locals…”
“Actually, it’s fine. Those high and mighty deities have more belongings to discard as compared to us.” The White Fox consoled itself, then it gritted its teeth and pledged. “Anyway, I can gather some dowry for myself again, starting from today.”
“Eh, the master’s a lucky man…” The Black Dog contemplated cultivating a technique to make itself handsome.
Anyway, forget it. It heard that the technique had major side effects which made it easy for one to lose itself and fail to reach enlightenment.
Both the fox and the dog were engaged in conversation when the Black Dog twitched its nose and whispered. “Sister, they’re here. I can smell the sour odor of the G.o.ds.”
The White Fox was amazed by this average-looking Black Dog. Obviously, it must be a remarkable dog to be noticed by Prince Charming.
It was not yet aware that there was another Yellow Dog living in the arcane realm who was even more powerful than the Black Dog.
The White Fox lifted her head and stared ahead. Indeed, there were a dark figure and a white figure in front of the verdant Azure Mountain gates. They took on a phantasmagorical form, but they evoked an unmistakably G.o.dly aura.
This sort of aura was hard to imitate. It was already familiar with the smell back in the Upper Realm.
“Are you all done with considering things? If you’re not going to hand over this arcane realm today, beware of the end of your clan.” The dark figure chilling voice resonated across the area.
This was a Celestial Aura!
A chill ran down the White Fox’s spine. In the days of the Upper Realm, it did not deign to look these G.o.ds in the eyes.
If not for a major Primordial G.o.d’s favor, the Spirit Fox clan would have been torn apart and end up as slaves of the G.o.ds without any say in freedom.
Despite knowing that G.o.ds who descended lost half of their magical powers and were not as threatening as in the Upper Realm, it was still terrified of the dark figure.
As soon as that G.o.d finished speaking, the tall mountain peak transformed into the stern and dignified face of an elder.
“Hmph, you vagabonds have the audacity to threaten my clan whilst I was training in isolation. d.a.m.n you all!”
The White Fox was appalled. Apart from Prince Charming, there was apparently someone else in the Lower Realm who was so defiant?
This geezer dared to stand up to two G.o.ds?
Who the h.e.l.l gave him such courage?
What was his trump card?
It heard that Prince Charming was spiritually tethered to the True Dragon of the Upper Realm which contributed to his immense might, but what was this geezer’s specialty?
It seemed like a mere grotto-heaven arcane realm was not enough to rely on?
Foxes were intrinsically shrewd and cunning. The White Fox’s mind churned out several speculations.
It was not the only one surprised by Shang Qingshan’s att.i.tude. The two G.o.ds were taken aback, too.
“Hmph, you ignorant Lower Realm cultivator, you’re so obnoxious just because you know a bit of magic?!” The dark figure was furious.
“Blasphemy! Be prepared for Divine Punishment!”
“Hahaha, Divine Punishment? Idiots, just like you two, such a thing doesn’t exist. I’ve heard that the G.o.ds are omniscient. Don’t tell me you’re only capable of seeing so little?” A look of sarcasm crossed the stern elder’s large face.
The white figure did not say anything, as if she was pondering something.
“Little Black, pa.s.s me your binoculars.” The elder’s face could be seen clearly, but both G.o.ds’ expressions were hardly visible to the White Fox, thus it whispered to the Black Dog.
The Black Dog handed over the talisman reluctantly.
It even counted on this matchmaker to find it a cute, obedient little Spirit Fox who did not mind his looks…
The White Fox held the binoculars to its eyes and took in a clear view of the area.
The two G.o.ds’ expressions could be observed properly now.
The dark figure’s face was filled with rage and he clenched both fists tightly.
The white figure was silent. Hardly any expression was revealed on her beautiful visage.
Would Divine Punishment be imminent?
The White Fox wondered anxiously as it saw this.
