Chapter 1544: Utterly Shameless

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“My fellow cultivator, it’s all been a misunderstanding. Everything has been a misunderstanding.”

b.u.t.tface walked around in circles with a beautiful, sincere smile on his face as he tried to explained everything to Xu Que.

“A misunderstanding, eh? Okay, then let me hear you explain how this has been a misunderstanding?” Xu Que looked at b.u.t.tface with a grin.

Xu Que understood very well b.u.t.tface’s morality and conduct. No one could move faster than b.u.t.tface when it came to selling people out. Xu Que had originally believed that this guy had been his Kylin Patriarch in his previous life and could be different. He hadn’t expected him to continue with the same kind of trash.

b.u.t.tface stared blankly at Xu Que for a moment. He hadn’t expected that Xu Que would give him a chance to explain.

However, then he put on a serious expression and spoke righteously, “My fellow cultivator, this has all really been a misunderstanding. When you saved me just now, it was not that Your Holiness didn’t want to help you. I didn’t abandon you and run away. Your Holiness only thought to…”

“You wanted to go get reinforcements, right?” Xu Que finished b.u.t.tface’s sentence for him.

When he’d first met b.u.t.tface, b.u.t.tface had used this lousy excuse countless times.

“Cr*p, how did you know?” b.u.t.tface stared wide-eyed as if he were shocked after hearing what Xu Que had said.

“Oh, sure.” Xu Que smiled and said, “Then why did you s.n.a.t.c.h my rod?”

“Rod? What rod?” b.u.t.tface looked appalled.

Xu Que stretched out his fingers and pointed toward b.u.t.tface’s neck. The purple-gold dog collar around b.u.t.tface’s neck instantly returned to its original shape: Xu Que’s Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod.

OOOWWW!!

b.u.t.tface immediately screamed and leaped up from the ground. He looked around and shouted angrily toward the uninhabited forest on the mountain, “Who did this? Who put that rod here with Your Holiness? This is simply outrageous.”

After yelling this, he immediately handed the rod back to Xu Que and spoke forcefully, “My fellow cultivator, keep the rod carefully. Your Holiness will be in charge of this matter on your behalf. I will find the thief of this rod and also the culprit who planted this and tried to frame Your Holiness.”

“Wow…” Xu Que went along with him. He said with the hint of a smile, “So it turns out that this was planted on you, and you’ve been framed by someone?”

“Of course, that’s exactly the case. My fellow cultivator stood by me and saved me. Your Holiness is extremely grateful. How could I be so cruel and unscrupulous as to steal my fellow cultivator’s rod? That’s simply unconscionable.” b.u.t.tface spoke with righteous conviction. His face didn’t even look uncomfortable at all.

“Oh, come off it, you haven’t changed one bit in your morality and conduct. Even after tens of thousands of years have pa.s.sed, and you’ve reincarnated, you are still exactly the same shameless thing.” Xu Que shook his head and felt dumbfounded as he ridiculed b.u.t.tface.

When b.u.t.tface heard what Xu Que had said about him, his face changed instantly and he moved back a bit. He looked at Xu Que warily as he said, “How…how do you know the secret of Your Holiness’s reincarnation? Don’t tell me you knew Your Holiness in my previous life also?”

With that, he immediately shook his head and said, “No, that’s not right. Your bone age is not even 100 years old. How could you possibly have known Your Holiness in my previous life?”

Xu Que rolled his eyes and answered with a smile, “Heh, heh, heh, that’s because I’ve also been reincarnated. Ah, we were actually sworn brothers who made our offerings to the G.o.ds in our previous lives. Don’t you remember it at all? You once told me that you’d belonged to a group of Ancient Magic Dragons and needed to go through the nine cycles of reincarnation to finally…”

“Sshhh!”

He hadn’t finished speaking when b.u.t.tface hurriedly reached out his paw to stop Xu Que from finis.h.i.+ng his sentence. He looked full of mystery and nervously lowered his voice to say, “Brother, don’t speak so loudly. Your Holiness’s ident.i.ty is a startling secret and cannot be revealed.”

“Is that so?” Xu Que smiled at him.

“A secret? This fool b.u.t.tface has a secret?

“To h*ll with it! In his other life, this guy had told the story about his ident.i.ty to anyone who would listen. He couldn’t wait to let the entire world know that it was a dragon. Unfortunately, no one in the world that he’d told believed him.”

“Of course, since you remember the events of my previous life so well, how can you not know that it was a secret? Were you really sworn brothers with Your Holiness in your previous life?” b.u.t.tface looked mysteriously at Xu Que and acted as if he was taking all these things very seriously. He looked as if he really believed all of Xu Que’s nonsense.

Xu Que was momentarily startled. It seemed that b.u.t.tface’s low IQ hadn’t been something that was particular to any one of his lives.

“b.u.t.tface, I’ve already told you this much. You still don’t believe me? We were sworn brothers in our previous lives. We stole from many treasure troves and excavated a bunch of ancestral tombs. You were responsible for the digging and I was responsible for the taking. We were regarded as best partners by everyone.”

“b.u.t.tface? F*ck, how did Your Holiness have this name. It’s not impressive.” b.u.t.tface immediately got angry.

“It’s true! In those years, you called me Lord Brother and I called you b.u.t.tface. We were so close. Have you forgotten everything?” Xu Que looked completely sincere.

“Lord Brother?”

b.u.t.tface was a little confused and seemed to be trying his best to recall what Xu Que was talking about, but it seemed as if it was still all a blank.

b.u.t.tface looked at Xu Que and asked him, “Brother, what’s your full name then?”

“Alas, I can’t believe it’s possible that you could forget this. My last name is Xu and my first name is Lord Lord,” Xu Que said.

“Lord Lord Xu?” b.u.t.tface repeated the name as he fell into deep thought.

A while later, he shook his head, seemingly embarra.s.sed, and said, “Brother Xu, Your Holiness really doesn’t recall anything. But you can rest a.s.sured that since you know Your Holiness’s greatest secret in life, then you must be a man who Your Holiness trusts. So we can still be good brothers in this life.”

“b.u.t.tface!” Xu Que appeared to be very moved and patted b.u.t.tface on the shoulder.

“Lord Brother!” b.u.t.tface looked as if he was breaking into sobs, but there were no tears. He also patted Xu Que’s shoulder.

A man and a dog…well, a man and a Kylin… They both said in unison, “Good brothers!”

WHOOs.h.!.+ WHOOs.h.!.+ WHOOs.h.!.+

Suddenly, there were sounds of blasting not too far away.

These sounds were immediately followed by a loud growl. “Mighty King, where have you escaped to? Tie your hands, and wait to be captured.”

SWIs.h.!.+

Xu Que and b.u.t.tface didn’t even look at one another. They turned around immediately and started to run. They sold each other out without a moment’s hesitation.

At almost exactly the same time, the several disciples from the Heaven Palace Sect also scuttled out of the forest. They couldn’t help hesitating as they watched Xu Que and b.u.t.tface escaping in different directions.

“There’s no need to care about that young man. The Elders have given the order to arrest the Mighty King.”

A cold female voice rang out. It was closely followed by Xuanyuan Wanrong appearing in the air. She’d transformed into a beam of light and gave chase in the direction where b.u.t.tface had escaped

“Yes!” Several of the Heaven Palace Sect disciples immediately responded as they ran in the same direction as Xuanyuan Wanrong.

“F*ck! Why are they only chasing after Your Holiness?” b.u.t.tface shouted from afar, unable to resign itself to this unfair destiny. He spoke angrily, “That boy is Your Holiness’s sworn brother. No, he is Your Holiness’s sworn older brother. He instigated everything.”

However, Xuanyuan Wanrong and the others did not pay attention to his shouts at all and continued to pursue him at lightning speed.

“Come on!” b.u.t.tface was so angry that he suddenly scolded himself. His two hind legs were das.h.i.+ng along the ground and his forelimbs were groping about finding his way. Suddenly, he pulled out a Spell Disk and pinched out a few Taoist seals.

BOOM!

In an instant, the brilliant light on the Spell Disk refracted multiple three-dimensional halos of runes.

“A directional teleportation? Stop it!” Xuanyuan Wanrong coldly shouted as she realized what he was doing. At the same time, she swung a sword down toward b.u.t.tface, trying to finish him off once and for all.

However, her swordplay couldn’t be compared to the speed of b.u.t.tface’s directional teleportation spell. At the same moment that the sword fell, b.u.t.tface’s body flashed and directly disappeared within the halos of runes.

At the same time, Xu Que, who had been running in the opposite direction, suddenly noticed a glow light up at his waist.

“What the h*ll?”

Xu Que stared blankly and looked down. He didn’t know when this Spell Disk, which was as small as a thumb, had been attached to his waist.

“Cr*p, this b*stard b.u.t.tface!”

SWIs.h.!.+

The next moment, there was a flash of light, and b.u.t.tface rushed out from within the spell and met up again with Xu Que.

“Brother Xu, don’t panic, Your Holiness is with you. I’ll renew our brotherhood from our previous world. We will enjoy blessings and endure misfortunes together!” b.u.t.tface shouted loudly. His voice was resounding, powerful, and invariably firm.

“You brazen b*stard! You are utterly shameless.” Xu Que was annoyed and scolded him.

“Heh, heh, heh, don’t be concerned about this kind of thing between brothers.” b.u.t.tface laughed mischievously. He had already figured out Xu Que’s strength, and he was well aware that he would only be able to escape by dragging Xu Que into his mess.

But suddenly b.u.t.tface’s smile began to stiffen.

The figure of Xu Que, who had initially been running along with him, appeared to be gradually fading.

“Cr*p, you f*cking used a replica! You despicable b*stard. You’re utterly shameless!” A heart-wrenching howl from b.u.t.tface rang through this forest on the mountain.
