Chapter 725 - A Talking duck (2/2)

He was not sure at first. But after hearing those words, it was undeniable that the voice he had heard in the passageway was from this little duck.

“So, it is you. Huh?”

Although it surprised Xiao Luo that a duck could talk, what he had witnessed were not things that an ordinary person could see. So, he accepted things for what they were. He stretched out his hand to grab the duck’s head. He looked around the hall and said, “A wild and huge creature? You? Are you not just a duck?”

“Impudent! You goddamn human. You are being rude to a God, now! Get your dirty hands off me! Otherwise, Grandpa Duck will send you to the ninth level of hell where that you can neither live nor die!” screamed the duck. He flapped his wings, which were also its arms, and continued to intimidate Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo was not the least bit afraid. It irked him just thinking about how the duck had messed with him earlier on. And now, he had to listen to his rambling and bluffs. With waiting, he smacked the duck mercilessly on its head.

That one smack hit the duck’s navy cap away, and a visible bump instantly appeared on its head.

The duck was in so much pain that it began screaming. With his eyes wide open, the duck glared at Xiao Luo ruthlessly and said, “How dare you disrespect the Grandpa Duck! You lowly human. Grandpa Duck is going to eat you up!”

“Eat me up? You better believe that I’ll pluck out all your feathers now and turn you into a roast duck!” exclaimed Xiao Luo. He was so angry but could not help laughing at the same time. He plucked off its feathers.

White feathers filled the air, and the duck’s painful scream echoed in the hall.

“You goddamn human. Stop now. Otherwise, Grandpa Duck will kill you!”

Kill me?

Xiao Luo sneered and continued plucking like a madman.

“Wait, wait… stop it! I surrender. Stop plucking. If you continue plucking, all my feathers will be no more…” cried the duck. It was in so much pain that it began crying. It wailed continuously.

Xiao Luo finally stopped to look at the pitiful duck. He turned around to head toward the sofa for a seat. Xiao Luo was a guest but behaved like a host. Gently, he said, “Answer a few of my questions truthfully. Otherwise, you can forget about keeping even a single feather on your body.”

He had plucked out a lot of feathers. The duck had bare spots on its body, where Xiao Luo had forcefully plucked out its feathers. Blood was oozing from the wounds and slowly dripping onto the floor. Some of its feathers were already blood-stained, and the duck looked pathetic.

Xiao Luo could not help feeling that he might have gone overboard. After a short while, he no longer felt guilty. This talking duck was an evildoer, for its injuries healed speedily, and all those missing feathers grew again. Shortly, it looked rejuvenated and was back to its original look.

“What do you want to ask me?” asked the duck, visibly having doubts about Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo’s asked, “Where’s the Master God of Chaos? What’s your relationship with him?”

“He is my owner and my master. He brought me here five hundred years ago and taught me martial arts, and how to talk. Every time I mention my owner, I feel grateful to him. If not for him, this duck here might have already kicked the bucket before he could even hatch from its egg. This duck here will never forget his kindness for the rest of my life. In my heart, my owner is like a light that makes my world bright…”

“Stop. I asked you where the Master God of Chaos is right now. I never asked you how you met him,” Xiao Luo interrupted and frowned. The duck was full of nonsense. He could twist and turn the conversation away from its topic.

“Oh, my owner went abroad for a holiday. Before he went, he told me to take good care of the temple. I am not to allow anyone to travel between both worlds.”

The talking duck said with a sincere look, “Before this happened, no one could pass the traps that this duck here has set, except you. While I am protecting this temple, the two worlds have been peaceful. There have been no interruptions at all.”

“Then half a month back, how do you explain the two people from Light Clan who traveled between both worlds?” asked Xiao Luo. He found the duck dishonest.

That question caused the duck’s face to turn red. But it still refused to admit it. The duck shook its head and said, “There were two people from the Light Clan traveling between both worlds? Impossible, that did not happen!”

“If it didn’t happen, then why would I want to go to Arcana Land?” Xiao Luo said with an agonized smile as he recalled the image of Su Li taken away.

“You are planning to go save that woman?”

The talking duck asked unconsciously and then realized that he made the mistake of revealing the party from Arcana Land. It now became clear that there were people from the Light Clan traveling between both worlds.

“That’s right. She is my wife!”

Xiao Luo ignored that blunder and replied.

Suddenly, the talking duck placed its wing on Xiao Luo’s shoulder with a deep sense of empathy, and said, “Brat, there is one thing Grandpa Duck hates the most, and that is to separate two lovers. Alright then, this duck will go to Arcana Land with you and help you get your girl back. Does that sound good? Right, my nickname is the King of all Ducks, also known as the Duck Emperor. Since we have crossed each other’s path, I think this is fate. This duck thinks that the more I look at you, the more pleasing you look.”

“Is it normal to shorten ‘The King of all Ducks’ to be ‘Duck Emperor?’” asked Xiao Luo.

The Duck Emperor had an odd look on its face and patted Xiao Luo’s shoulders casually. “Do not worry about such minor details. All you need to know is that I am the Duck Emperor. You look like you are in your twenties. This duck is five hundred years old, so according to age, this duck here is your Senior’s senior. Protocol dictates that you address me as your ancestor, but this duck will not take advantage of you. You only need to address me as Grandpa Duck Emperor.”
