Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The Temple Overlord’s ninth son? You mean Ximen Dingjun?” asked Linghu Shuang. Alas, there was not a trace of pleasure on her face. Instead she looked worried. “I’m afraid Ximen Dingjun is unreliable.”
“Unreliable? Why? Do you really think the Ninth Young Lord is afraid of him?!” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“No, it’s not a matter of fear! Ximen Dingjun a very capricious person! One second, he could be smiling and chatting away with you but the next second he would be plotting to kill you! This kind of person cannot be relied on!”
Indeed, when they were on Overgrown Forest planet, Wenren Muyue also said that Xiemen Dingjun was a capricious little man!
This was a proven fact at the time when Ximen Dingjun supported Chen Xiaobei on the surface but plotted against him behind his back. Once Chen Xiaobei had cured him, he would kill Chen Xiaobei immediately!
Ximen Dingjun really was a two-faced double-crosser. He was temperamental.
When they parted ways at Overgrown Forest, Ximen Dingjun said that his door was forever open to Chen Xiaobei, and then when he heard that Chen Xiaobei was visiting Divine Cloud, he responded with a warm welcome! But, could he be only pleasing Chen Xiaobei in order to get the Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine, or was he really sincere in wanting to draw Chen Xiaobei to his side?
We will never know!
“Ximen Dingjun’s personality is like a snake in the grass!” Linghu Shuang said. “I heard that Ximen Dingjun and Tie Gongji are pretty close! Hoping that Ximen Dingjun would help you deal with Tie Gongji is a questionable notion!”
“Bitch! Do you think I’m deaf? I am named Tie Hongji not Tie Gongji (chicken)!” Tie Hongji was practically foaming at the mouth. “I’m not afraid to reveal to you that the Ninth Young Lord is my faithful pal! We grew up together, and are so close that we are like family! You want him to deal with me for your sake? Keep dreaming!”
Linghu Shuang was even more troubled now, and she said in barely audible manner, “Damn! If we can’t rely on Ximen Dingjun, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out of this alive.”
Chen Xiaobei had the Blood God’s Deity-Killing painting that could kill off any elites who were below demigod level.
However, they were on Divine Cloud Planet, the place with the highest concentration of demigods in the whole of Northern Wilderness Starfield!
In the Northern Wilderness Chamber headquarters alone, were already three demigods overseeing the place.
If Ximen Dingjun refused to help Chen Xiaobei, one could only imagine what would happen to them.
“What? Are you scared now?” Tie Hongji licked his lips. “You have three seconds! You can still bow down and beg! Once the three seconds are over, I’ll kill the both of you!”
“Great. We’re screwed! We’re so screwed!”
Despair filled Linghu Shuang’s large, beautiful eyes.
But this was when Chen Xiaobei spoke, “Tie Gongji, you’d better not think yourself invulnerable! My place in the Ninth Young Lord’s heart is exceptional! If you kill me, he would come after you!”
“What? Ninth Young Lord will come after me for killing a bastard like you? Oooh! Hahahaha! That is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!” Tie Hongji held his stomach, bending over with laughter.
“Hongji! Did something good happen? Why are you laughing so happily?”
It was then that a heavyset man in expensive clothing walked over. Following behind him was an extraordinary looking old man.
“Greetings Ninth Young Lord! Greetings Old Meng!”
The two elites at the door quickly bowed, their faces showing awe and respect.
The visitor was none other than Xiemen Dingjun, and his most trusted personal bodyguard, Old Meng!
“Greetings, Ninth Young Lord!” Tie Hongji quickly went to greet the young lord, a warm smile on his lips.
“Huh? Hongji? Are you sick with fever? You know how close we are! Why are you being so polite?” Ximen Dingjun laughed.
“I don’t mean to, but someone said that the Ninth Young Lord will turn hostile towards me. How could I not be afraid?” Tie Hongji complained.
“Rubbish! Which idiot said such stupid thing?” Ximen Dingjun said. “We are closer than brothers! I would rather go against my own brother than to fall out with you!”
“There! It’s that bastard who said it!” Tie Hongji pointed at Chen Xiaobei.
Linghu Shuang’s heart skipped a beat. If Ximen Dingjun and Tie Hongji were so close, then Chen Xiaobei was screwed.
“Huh? Mr. Chen?” Ximen Dingjun exclaimed. “Why would you say such a thing? Could it be a misunderstanding?”
“Whether or not it’s a misunderstanding, Ninth Young Lord, you be the judge!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“If Tie Hongji kills me, will you have a falling out with him?”
“What? Tie Hongji wants to kill you?” Ximen Dingjun was taken aback.
“Yeah, if you came a few seconds later, I’m afraid you would be collecting my corpse.” Chen Xiaobei answered.
“Please!” Tie Hongji sniggered. “Who do you think you are? Why would the Ninth Young Lord collect your corpse? I Tie Hongji will announce this, if you do not kneel down now, you will die, and your body will become dinner for the wild dogs!”
Smack!
While Tie Hongji was talking away happily, he was rudely interrupted by a slap to his face.
“Ni… Ninth Young Lord, why did you hit me?” Tie Hongji reached up to touch his face, his eyes widened in pained horror.
“Did I hit you? I am just saving you!” Ximen Dingjun roared.
“Sa… Saving me?” Tie Hongji looked like his brain had gone into a short-circuit.
“Wh… What is happening?” Linghu Shuang was just as surprised.
She had thought that they were goners for sure, but in a blink of an eye, things took a 180 degree turn! Life was indeed full of surprises!
Ximen Dingjun replied, “I came here personally because I’ve received orders from the ‘Father’ to invite Mr. Chen to the Northern Wilderness’s temple to join the state banquet!”
Father! Temple! State banquet!
These words struck Tie Hongji’s heart like lightning and thunder; now feeling his palm grow cold and sweaty.
The Father that Ximen Dingjun was talking about was the supreme ruler of Northern Wilderness, the Northern Wilderness Overlord!
The Northern Wilderness’s temple was the place where the Northern Wilderness Overlord lived. Even the governor of the various planets in the starfield were not allowed to enter the place without first being summoned!
The State banquet was the Northern Wilderness’ most prestigious banquet! Normally, it would only be held when hosting dignitary guests from other high-ranking starfields, or to commemorate commendable people who had contributed a lot to the starfield!
That was to say that the Northern Wilderness Overlord valued Chen Xiaobei highly enough to regard him at his top distinguished guest!
If Chen Xiaobei was killed, there was no telling what would happen next!
Tie Hongji inhaled sharply at this revelation, and nearly wet his pants.
