Chapter 765 - The Cruelty Of Human Nature
Chapter 765 The Cruelty Of Human Nature
It was hard to tell from Bao Da’s expression whether he was happy or sad. He tried hard to control himself by taking deep breaths but he felt so heartbroken that his body was shaking uncontrollably. He recalled how Su Chen tried to persuade him to drink the milk, and this made him even more sure that there was something extraordinary about it.
He felt angry with himself for being stubborn. He should have drank it. An opportunity once lost would always be gone. It was not as if he would dare to ask for the milk from Nanan and Dragin. Now that he was sure there was nothing wrong with Su Chen, he was convinced that Nanan, Dragin, and the Milk Cow were not ordinary beings from the way Su Chen treated them with respect.
Right at this moment, Su Chen had already returned to the city. “Bao Da, aren’t you happy that I won? Why are you crying?” he asked.
“Young Master, I’m sure you’ll understand why I’m feeling heartbroken. Please, let me be alone for a while,” replied Bao Da in a raspy voice.
Su Chen comforted, “Once you miss an opportunity, that’s it. There’s nothing you can do about it.”
Bao Da sighed. Then, he looked at the manure stick that Su Chen was holding. “Young Master! What kind of weapon is this stick? It’s so powerful!”
Bao Da stared at the stick and no matter how he examined it, the stick looked normal to him. There were even some damages on it and nothing about it showed that it was an Immortal Machine.
Su Chen rubbed the stick and said plainly, “It’s a manure stick.”
Bao Da stopped breathing for a while and asked again, “Young Master, did you encounter any shocking experience?”
Su Chen smiled and nodded. “That’s right. I’ve successfully become a gong farmer.”
Bao Da stopped breathing again and was feeling speechless. He wondered if they would ever return to the good ol’ days.
Su Chen looked at him and spoke meaningfully, “This is a realm which you wouldn’t understand.”
Bao Da was out of words.
Su Chen waved his hand and said, “Alright. Go settle those demons and get ready to return to the Su family. I’m going to take back the position of the young master!”
Bao Da and the surrounding guards trembled and shouted excitedly, “Yes, Young Master!”
After Su Chen defeated the three demon kings, the rest of the demons fled the scene in a hurry. They were nothing without their leaders, so it was an easy job cleaning up the battlefield.
Soon, everyone headed toward the Su family with Su Chen in the lead.
“Brother Su Chen, are you going to take back the position of the young master?” asked Nanan curiously
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat. “Goddess, please, don’t misunderstand anything. The position of the young master means nothing to me. I love being a gong farmer the most. I can show you how much love I have for that job. Please, allow me to continue being your gong farmer!” he said sincerely
Bao Da and the guards were struck dumb by his words.
Su Chen continued to say, “I just wanted to have my revenge and I couldn’t let my family fall into Su Ming’s hands. Lastly, it’s also for the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension.”
It was the second time that Nanan and Dragin had heard the name. “What is that?” they asked.
“No one knew where the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension came from. Someone guessed that it was where Origins gather in the Origins Realm. That place is filled with opportunities. There’s an Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension on the Celestial Star. It opens every hundred years and it is managed by the four big families. They had an agreement to send in their own people every time it opened. It’s up to them to see if they’re lucky enough to come across any opportunities.”
Nanan and Dragin nodded to show that they understood but obviously it did not excite them. There was nothing in the world better than the four-part architecture. Su Chen knew what they were thinking. Even he himself thought that it was better off being at the cesspit rather than the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension.
“Goddesses, even though the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension is nothing special, there’s Saintly Fruit there. I’m sure the expert would like it.”
“Saintly Fruit!” Dragin and Nanan’s eyes shimmered and said with excitement, ‘This is good! We must go there. We could find new Sacred Fruit!”
At the Su family, Su Ming was discussing entering the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension with Xiao Yanran. Su Ming’s eyes were full of affection as he said excitedly, “Since I’m the young master of the Su family now, I’ll definitely be one of the members that will enter the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension. As long as I find the Blood Clotting Fruit when I enter, it’ll be enough to activate the dictator bloodline within my body. Then, I can break through to the realm of Wisdom Dictator.”
“Congratulations, Su Ming. Everything’s going according to plan. You’re slowly heading toward The Ultimate Path.” Xiao Yanran winked at Su Ming and said sexily, “I just hope that you won’t forget about me in the future.”
Su Ming laughed out loud. “That’s impossible. You’re the one who helped me become the young master and get the dictator bloodline. I promise that you’ll live happily ever after!” It was all Su Ming’s plan to obtain the dictator bloodline and kill Su Chen. After that, his spiritual cultivation increased tremendously which led him to become the young master of the Su family. All that was left was to enter Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension to find the Blood Clotting Fruit to activate the potential of the dictator bloodline.
Xiao Yanran looked at Su Ming with love. “Really? You’re the best, Su Ming!”
Seeing her all sexy, a burning desire surged in Su Ming’s belly. “I’d never lie to you.Why don’t I let you experience some of that happiness now?” he said affectionately.
Xiao Yanran blushed and tried to reject Su Ming. “Oh, you rascal.”
“There’s no one around. Let’s not waste any time.” Su Ming pulled Xiao Yanran into his arms. He felt a sense of satisfaction and pride at the thought that he was holding the girl Su Chen liked.
‘Oh, Su Chen. You’re destined to lose to me. I’m toying with the girl you like. Your dictator bloodline and the position of the young master are also mine. I’m going to enter the Origins Ponds of Holy Dimension and reach The Ultimate Path using your bloodline. Your existence in this world is to help me achieve greatness! Haha!’ Su Ming thought with excitement.
Just as Su Ming pushed Xiao Yanran onto the bed, there was a loud voice in the air.
“I, Su Chen, have returned!”
The voice was so thunderous that it echoed in the space. The Su family was awfully quiet for a while before everyone exclaimed.
“Su Chen? The previous young master’s back?”
“He disappeared for three years. Where has he been all these years?” “Oh my gosh! Su Chen’s back. What’s going to happen with Su Ming?”
“For real? Come on, let’s go take a look.”
Everyone started to dash toward Su Chen’s direction. At the same time, Su Ming and Xiao Yanran froze and lost interest in what they were going to do. They immediately got out of bed.
Xiao Yanran screamed in disbelief, “That’s not possible. How did Su Chen return? There’s no chance he could’ve survived!”
Su Ming calmed himself down quickly and sneered, “There’s nothing to worry about. So what if he could survive the Ancient Forbidden Zone? I got his dictator bloodline and he’s now useless. He could’ve lived longer if he found a place to hide but he seems to be looking for death by showing up here.”
Xiao Yanran said with worry, “What if he decides to expose us to the Su family…”
“Haha. Who do you think the Su family will help? Me or the has-been?” Su Ming laughed coldly, and said, “Come on. Let’s go see what trash Su Chen is now.”
There were many people gathered outside of the Su family. Even those highly respected Elders were present. They all looked at Su Chen with surprise and shock.
Finally, the Third Elder asked, “Su Chen, where have you been for the past three years?”
Su Chen told the truth, “Third Elder, I was set up by Xiao Yanran and Su Ming three years ago. Not only was my dictator bloodline stolen, they even threw me into the Ancient Forbidden Zone. I would’ve been dead by now if it weren’t for my luck.”
Everyone was surprised to hear the truth.
“Su Chen’s dictator bloodline…was stolen?”
“I can’t believe Su Ming would actually do such a thing. No wonder his spiritual cultivation grew much stronger than before after Su Chen disappeared.”
“It’s natural for him to become stronger since he possesses the dictator bloodline.”
“Oh my gosh! This is shocking news!”
“I can’t feel any power from Su Chen anymore. See how rugged he looks? Obviously, he’s useless now.”
The pupils of the Elders of the Su family shrank. They looked at each other and said nothing. The Third Elder asked, “Su Chen, are you telling the truth?”
Su Chen’s face became solemn as he said with a serious tone, “You can ask Su Ming to come here and test his dictator bloodline.”
“There’s no need to test. I admit that I stole his dictator bloodline.” Su Ming walked over calmly. He said it like it was not an issue. Xiao Yanran was walking beside him.
Su Chen’s pupils were enraged with fire when he saw both of them. He shouted with a deep voice, “Su Ming, Xiao Yanran!”
The others looked at Su Ming with shock. They did not expect Su Ming to admit it bluntly.
Su Ming looked at Su Chen and said indifferently, “Su Chen, the road to cultivation has always been paved with treachery and thievery. You’re naive if you didn’t know this. Since I have the upper hand now, I think it was worth it to sacrifice you.”
“Bullsh*! You’ll never gain Wisdom by killing your own kind and secretly hurting others! I’ll capture you and punish you according to our family’s rule,” the Third Elder shouted and tried to capture Su Ming. However, Big Elder raised his hand and neutralized Third Elder’s attack. Third Elder’s face darkened and he questioned, “Bid Elder, are you going to protect this scoundrel?” Big Elder looked at Su Chen and said, “Su Chen. Who could say that they have never made any mistakes in their whole life? Since you and Su Ming are both family, you should compromise with each other. Since what’s done is done, even if you killed Su Ming, the dictator bloodline can’t be recovered. Why don’t you just leave it as it is? I promise you a burdenless and peaceful life. The Su family will fulfill any request that you have.”
Su Chen widened his eyes and looked at Big Elder. After a while, he laughed out loud and said sarcastically, “Then why didn’t he think of me as his family when he tried to kill me? Big Elder, I used to respect you, but now, I realize that I was wrong. You’re simply outrageous!” “How rude of you!” Second Elder scolded. “Su Chen, we understand what you’re feeling now. But we, the Su family, must have a genius. I hope you can understand and compromise for the family.” “Compromise? How do I compromise?” Su Chen pointed at Big Elder and Second Elder. His pupils turned cold and said, “So, are you saying it was alright to steal another person’s bloodline just because you want to become stronger? Everyone in the family can kill each other despicably? What sets us apart from the demons, then? You keep saying it’s for the family but this is only making it worse. The family will suffer because of your stubborn decision.”
Big Elder stayed determined and said coldly, “Su Chen. Su Ming has the dictator bloodline and the Godly Eye Technique now. He could become a Wisdom Dictator in the future and bring the family to greatness. Whereas you… You’re just a useless person now.”
Third Elder could not resist commenting, “Big Elder. Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards.”
Fourth Elder interrupted, “Number Three, the rules are dead and people are alive. We should always put the benefit of the family above anything. Su Chen’s no longer of use to us now, whereas Su Ming can protect us all.”
Third Elder sighed and was out of words.
Big Elder said, “Su Chen, forget about revenge. We still accept you as a member of the Su family.”
“Hah! So, you’re saying that you’d exile me from the family if I want to seek revenge?” Su Chen shook his head and said disdainfully, “Then it’s meaningless for me to stay in the family.”
Everyone’s expression became solemn…
Su Chen continued to speak, “But I’ll take back what was once mine by myself. Su Ming, do you dare to fight me?”
‘Su Chen challenged Su Ming?’ Everyone was shocked to hear it. The difference between Su Chen and Su Ming was like heaven and earth. How did he dare to challenge Su Ming to a fight?
Su Ming did not expect Su Chen to be so crazy. He reconfirmed again, “You want to fight me?”
Su Chen said plainly, “That’s right. I hope you’re not a chicken.”
Su Ming laughed out loud as if he just heard the world’s funniest joke. Then, he looked at Xiao Yanran and said, “Did you hear that? He wants to challenge me to a fight.”
Xiao Yanran smirked and said disdainfully, “I heard it. He must be out of his mind.”
The rest of the people shook their heads. They looked at Su Chen with sympathy.
“I understand why he would do this, but this is no different than asking for death.”
“Even though Su Ming’s just at the Heavenly Realm, with the dictator bloodline and the Godly Eye Technique, it’s enough for him to defeat a Wisdom Elite. Su Chen’s nothing to him.”
“I guess Su Chen would rather go down fighting.”
Third Elder looked at Su Chen and tried to talk him out of it. “Su Chen. Being impulsive isn’t a good idea. Why don’t you think twice about it?”
Su Chen said, “Thank you for caring, Third Elder, but I must defeat Su Ming today.” “Defeat me? Are you talking in your dream?” Su Ming sneered as he looked at Su Chen with an urge to kill him. “Since you’re so eager to die, I’d be glad to help you accomplish your dream.”
Big Elder then said calmly, “During the fight, you’re free to attack with any weapons and kill your opponent. Get ready.”
Su Chen glanced at Big Elder and felt upset with him. Obviously, Big Elder was certain that he was no match for Su Ming. That was why Big Elder said it was alright to kill the opponent. When Su Chen was the young master, everyone respected him. Even Big Elder was a kind-hearted man and treated him with respect. It was now that Su Chen realized the cruelty in human nature. It was every man for himself. A human’s heart was the most difficult thing to figure out.
