Chapter 45: The Chosen One
I was staring at the vanishing figures of these two old men. Before turning around, I saw all the animals looking at me.
"What... Let’s continue our party."
We went back to our camping place, beginning our party again. While I went to take a look at the boy, who was still alive, I decided to help him out, too.
And a few minutes later.
The party continued with one more person joining in. I looked at everyone, and they all seemed to only care about food. They don’t have time to look at this new member.
I looked at the kid who was staring at the surroundings silently in confusion.
"Where... I’m... You..."
"Hey, currently you’re in this emperor’s personal garden. As for me... I don’t think it’s hard to guess. Hehe..."
The boy stared at me silently without uttering a word. Likely trying to digest how a mortal like him got the honour to be in front of this emperor.
"Hey, how long are you gonna stay silent for? Now, quickly start worshipping me. Even in a thousand lifetimes, people don’t get such an opportunity"
"Why should I worship you?"
When this boy opened his mouth, it almost made me lose my composure. But as an emperor, I can’t really indulge these fools.
"Well, don’t you know where you are? Right Now, Hehe...."
I pointed at animals who were enjoying their food. But the kid didn’t react the way I had thought. He remained silent, his fist clenched, like preparing for war.
"Hey, at the moment you should be worshipping me, don’t your parents teach you manners?"
"Fuck..."
That kid actually took out a sword, directly slashing it at me. I didn’t even dodge his attack before his sword touched my clothes. The kid was sent flying, his sword breaking into tiny fragments. As the little black stood in front of me.
"Hey, now who’s gonna get him back? I can’t even see that kid."
"Aw..."
As usual, this fat dog went to have his meal, sending that white tiger to find that Kid. I also went back and sat lazily, waiting to teach this kid some manners.
After a few minutes, the tiger came again, dragging that kid who was again unconscious. But this time I let this mf sleep a bit more and enjoyed my night party. Cause I can only do so much work at a time.
The party lasted for hours before I fell asleep. When I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by these hungry faces who were waiting for breakfast. After having a luxurious breakfast with these guys, I continued my journey.
While taking that unconscious kid with me, too. He was still sleeping. I also don’t have time to deal with him. So, we began our journey, and the carriage was pulled by the black bull. He had also grown considerably compared to when he joined me on this journey.
We continued to move forward, as we left this mountain range, these animals came to me, saying goodbye, and bringing some gifts too.
After leaving this place, our carriage continued to move forward. I took out an old travelogue that I had gotten from the trash these animals gifted me. I had read this at least several times, but this actually even contains the location and time. If it’s true, I would definitely like to go there.
After giving it a few more looks, I also threw it away and looked up at the same beautiful sky, nothing special. We were quite far from that jungle. Little Black also lay lazily, taking out his tongue, enjoying the light breeze.
While lying like a lazy sloth, our journey continued on. We passed through many beautiful scenes, but I have seen this natural beauty so much that I’m bored now.
"How long are you gonna sleep for? You know my patience is limited."
"What do you want from me?"
The voice came from behind. I lazily turned inside, looking at him. He was sitting at the corner, no longer aggressive, clearly understanding his situation now.
"Nothing, it was you who attacked me first. I’m still waiting for an apology."
"Please forgive me, Senior, I wasn’t in my right mind."
He bent on his knees, completely opposite to how he was behaving at night, like I was talking to a completely different person.
"Hm, well, it’s good that you apologise. Now, tell me your sob story. Why were those old men following me? And if your story was good enough, you can leave at our next stop."
"Senior..."
"Begin the story, I am getting bored."
But before she began her story, A system voice sounded in my mind.
[Host, congratulations on triggering the main storyline quest.]
Followed by a translucent screen.
Mission: The Chosen One
Description: A fallen cultivator, who is on her journey to take her revenge, is currently inside the heaven-chosen protagonist of this world. A kid from a small cultivation clan whose talent was devoured by this soul. Now, she is helping him to get his revenge.
’Fuck, it sounds exactly like those trash novels.’
[Host, you’re wrong here; it isn’t the same.]
’Well... yeah, it’s definitely different cause here we have a dual soul in one body, but one is female. What mind-blowing twist.’
[Now you get it, Host]
’Trying to copy my style, well, good luck, you will definitely reach my level after eons.’
I looked at the boy in front of me, and I decided to confirm my few doubts before beginning the story.
"Firstly, tell me, what was your cultivation realm in your first life?"
’I had always wanted to know how this world’s immortal realm is, but I still haven’t explored this lower realm completely, so going directly there will kill the suspense.’
"What are you talking about, senior?"
"Stop this acting, I have very little patience. So, thinking speaking."
After the bit of silence, she spoke again.
"Senior, I’m really sorry for trying to deceive you."
