Chapter 814: Beast Lord

Battles between adversaries at Xiao Luo’s cultivation level were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, for they moved at such incredible speeds. Watching them fight, one could only catch a vague glimpse of their afterimage when they occasionally broke off after an exchange of strikes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The crowd could only hear the deafening blasts that constantly boomed high in the sky and see the air distort from the energy discharged. Sensing the terrifying energy echoing between heaven and earth, they had goosebumps all over the bodies. Many buildings within the palace bore the brunt of the action, causing walls to crack and some buildings even crumbled entirely.

Everyone raised their heads and gazed up in horror. They were in so much anxiety that they felt suffocated. It was a battle unseen by the naked eye, yet the fear they were experiencing was genuine!

“So, how’s the battle? Has Handsome Luoluo won already?” Ghost asked Duck Emperor.

“Well, his victory is kinda inevitable. That Grand Master of the Baiyue Nation is undoubtedly being beaten up by that darn little brat,” said Duck Emperor.

The duck’s speed was as fast as lightning and he was long used to observing things traveling at high speeds. Hence, the battle scene which everyone could hardly follow did not pose a problem to Duck Emperor, who was observing it comfortably.

“By the way, Little One, judging by your looks, you want to woo that darn little brat, don’t you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have asked that kid to call you Baby Ling, am I right?” Duck Emperor asked.

Ghost’s pretty face immediately turned red. But instead of denying what the duck had said like what an ordinary girl would do, she responded haughtily, “Yeah, do you have an objection? I like Handsome Luoluo!”

Ghost did not know how it all started, and she just suddenly fell for Xiao Luo. Perhaps it was because Xiao Luo had taken care of her and given her his undivided attention after she unwittingly tasted the forbidden fruit. It gave her the feeling of being cared for and that made her immediately develop her feelings for Xiao Luo.

“Men like women, and women like men. This is natural. I didn’t say that you can’t like him, but I feel you have to change the way you address him,” Duck Emperor said.

Ghost was taken aback momentarily, then she said, “Isn’t Handsome Luoluo a nice nickname?”

“Nice, your foot!”

Duck Emperor responded unkindly. “People will want to vomit when they hear it, and it will make you seem like a little child—maybe even a baby.”

“Are you for real?” Ghost knitted her eyebrows.

“Questioning me will not help your case.”

Duck Emperor retorted in an authoritative tone, then added, “Heed my advice and change it. And change the way you address me too. To make it clear, I’m not asking you to do this for my sake. It’s only to make you seem more mature. A lively and adorable girl is acceptable, but not a childish and unreliable kid—no man will consider someone like that as a potential partner.”

Feeling that what Duck Emperor said made sense, Ghost asked, “Then how should I address him?”

“His name is Xiao Luo, so you may just call him ‘Luo’.”

“Luo?” Ghost lowered her head and uttered his name repeatedly.

“So? It sounds better, doesn’t it?” Duck Emperor asked.

“Yeah.”

Ghost nodded gleefully as she smiled like a flower. That nickname was a lot better. She stepped closer to Duck Emperor and said, “Thanks a lot, Duckling.”

“Look at you, once again you’re reverting to your old self. What did I tell you just now? Don’t address others with childish nicknames or it will only make you appear childish,” Duck Emperor chided.

Ghost thought for a moment before she said, “You’re right, Duckling, absolutely right. What should I call you then?”

“Call me by my name, Duck Emperor. It sounds more majestic and high class!”

Duck Emperor replied, patting himself on the chest. He initially wanted to say “Grandpa Duck Emperor,” but recalling Ghost’s reaction before, he thought better of it. He would do it step by step, starting with his name first.

“Okay, I’ll call you Duck Emperor from now on,” Ghost said, nodding with a smile.

“Good girl!”
