Chapter 373 - You Are The Dog, The Watchdog (3)
"You went out?" Leng Ruoxue asked doubtfully.
"Okay, we went to catch snakes," Icy said ingratiatingly while rubbing Leng Ruoxue"s tender arm.
"Where are the snakes?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"Here." Empty hurriedly handed her a pet ring.
Leng Ruoxue took the ring and sent her divine sense in…
"T-these are the snakes you caught?" Leng Ruoxue"s forehead was full of black lines, and her heart was palpitating. Did these two fellows catch all the snakes on the Boundless Heaven Continent?!Moreover, the snakes they caught are actually still alive, and the weakest ones seem to be divine beasts…
"Yes! Didn"t you say that the stronger the snake, the more delicious the meat? So we didn"t catch any below divine beast," Empty hurriedly said as if he was presenting a treasure.
"Little Snowy, don"t be scared. These stinky snakes won"t dare to bite you. They"re all very obedient. In fact, I initially wanted to kill all of them, but Master said that live ones are fresher," Icy added, his fluffy little face full of pride.
Freak opened his eyes and asked in puzzlement, "What"s fresher?"
"See for yourself!" Leng Ruoxue was really speechless. Alas! These two gluttons!
Freak took the ring from Xue"er and said with his mouth agape, "Why are there so many snakes? Where did they come from?"
"Little Chen Chen, Master and I went to catch them. How is it? It"s enough to eat now, right?" Icy said happily.
"Yes, it"s enough." Freak"s incomparably handsome face was full of helplessness. This was no longer a matter of whether it was enough or not. There were so many that eating them would make anyone vomit!
"Hehe!" Icy smiled proudly.
"Freak, let"s pack up and go out!" Leng Ruoxue said to Freak. Her grandfather and the others should be up already.
"Okay." Freak nodded. The two of them washed up and left the room, and Icy naturally followed closely behind.
"Empty, I"ll find a time to introduce you to my family!" Leng Ruoxue said while looking at Empty, who was following them. If Empty really wanted to follow them, he couldn"t stay invisible forever, right?
"Yes, but I don"t want the people from the headquarters to know of my existence." Empty nodded.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded.
Leng Qingtian and the others had already prepared breakfast in the courtyard.
"Xue"er, good timing. Come have breakfast!" Leng Qingtian hurriedly greeted his precious granddaughter.
"Grandpa, where"s Lan Ming?" Leng Ruoxue and Freak found a seat and sat down. But she couldn"t help asking curiously when she didn"t see Lan Ming.
"He went to the compet.i.tion venue early in the morning to draw lots," Leng Qingtian explained.
"Oh, Grandpa, I"ll introduce you to someone," Leng Ruoxue said. Lan Ming wasn"t here, so it was a good opportunity. Alas! Empty didn"t want the people of the headquarters to know about him!
"Who is it? Xue"er, why are you so mysterious?" Leng Qingtian"s curiosity was piqued.
"Empty!" Leng Ruoxue looked at Empty.
Empty understood immediately, and he directly appeared in front of Leng Qingtian and the others.
"Xue"er, he…" Leng Qingtian and the others looked at the young man who appeared out of thin air in front of them, and their jaws almost fell to the ground!
"Grandpa, he"s the owner of this house. But the people of the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters don"t know of his existence. Moreover, he doesn"t want them to know, so you have to keep this secret," Leng Ruoxue explained.
"Oh, okay," Leng Qingtian quickly replied after reacting. But he couldn"t help secretly sizing up the man named Empty. He couldn"t tell this man"s cultivation level at all. Moreover, the man in front of him gave him an indescribable and strange feeling…
"Empty is the master of the Icy," Leng Ruoxue added.
"Oh!" Everyone was enlightened. No wonder that blue puppy followed Leng Ruoxue!
"Empty will be following us from now on." Leng Ruoxue continued to throw a bomb.
Everyone was shocked again and looked at Leng Ruoxue in unison until they were sure that she was serious.
"Oh," Leng Qingtian answered on behalf of everyone. He didn"t know Empty"s ident.i.ty, but he believed in his granddaughter"s judgment.
"Little Snowy, can we eat now? I"m so hungry," Icy, who had been waiting for too long, said pitifully.
"Let"s eat!" Leng Ruoxue nodded. Alas! There are really more and more gluttons around me.
"Uh, Empty, aren"t you eating?" Leng Qingtian couldn"t help asking curiously when he saw that everyone had already started eating, but Empty hadn"t moved his chopsticks at all.
"I"m not hungry. You go ahead!" Empty said lightly, his handsome face maintaining a smile. He had seen everyone"s reactions just now and was very satisfied with their reactions. These people didn"t know his ident.i.ty at all, but they were still willing to accept him. This should be Xue"er"s credit! Instead of saying they believed that he wasn"t a bad person, it was better to say that they believed in Xue"er"s judgment more.
"Grandpa, he"s a carnivore," Leng Ruoxue teased.
"Oh, we usually eat light for breakfast. We only cook meat for lunch and dinner," Leng Qingtian explained.
"It"s okay." Empty smiled.
"Empty! Do as you please. Don"t stand on ceremony with us. We don"t have so many rules," Old Zao said.
"I know." Empty smiled. He wouldn"t have appeared at all if he didn"t know these people"s temperament very well.
"Empty. Do you know much about the compet.i.tion of the Mystic a.s.sociation Headquarters?" Leng Ruoxue turned her head and looked at Empty.
"Yes." Empty nodded. How could he not know!
"The previous compet.i.tions were very fair. That was the real compet.i.tion to select talents. The compet.i.tion has lost its meaning now. But the rewards for the compet.i.tion are becoming more and more generous," Empty explained.
"Yes, I"m going for the rewards, so those people better have eyes and not provoke me! Otherwise, I can"t guarantee that I won"t be ruthless," Leng Ruoxue said domineeringly.
