Chapter 270 – Dance With Wolf! (1/2)
Chapter 270: Dance with wolf!
“You made a promise to me.” The Wolf King said to Li Muyang.
When this reached the ears of Qiandu and Lin Canghai, they were both perplexed by these baffling words.
The enemy that tried to kill them, was now shouting that someone made it a promise——which is the truth?
Even third-rated writers would be embarra.s.sed to write such a romantic moment, right? Readers will curse at the writer.
Only Li Muyang understood the meaning of these words, it was not his promise but a promise that the old dragon had made.
However, why should he pay the debt that the old dragon owes?
Also, debt is discharged upon death; the old dragon is already gone, the debt should be cancelled, right? Is there such thing as 'human pays dragon's debts'?
“I don't know him.”
Li Muyang's first reaction was to refuse; he did not want to take the debt upon himself without any reason. He was a cautious and somewhat petty man.
However, after a little hesitation, Li Muyang decided to find out what was this about.
Who knew whether it was to ask the old dragon to accept it as his little brother or it wants to offer its many valuables and treasures to the Dragon King but the Dragon King had not accepted or rejected its promise yet——
Li Muyang had always been a child that liked fantasy fairy tales. He wanted to be a great writer back then.
He once wrote a novel and gave it to Li s.h.i.+nian to read, but when Li s.h.i.+nian said in a very disgusted tone 'it's extremely bad', his dreams of being a writer was shattered.
“I made you a promise?” I don't remember anything.” Li Muyang looked at the Wolf King.
“Don't think of denying it.” The Wolf King face was red with rage, threatening in a fierce voice. “Your ancestor borrowed my wolf pearl to enter the weak water. He said that when he obtains the heart of the weak water, he would lend me it for three years to wash the marrow of the bones and refine the body. I consume the light of the red moon as food, and I belong to the fire attribute. If I can receive the cleansing of the heart of the weak water, I can obtain the essence of weak water. Then, with fire and water attributes inside and outside, my powers will be much stronger than before.”
Li Muyang's mind fretted, looking at the Wolf King with a smile across his face, he said: “I see, although I'm still not very clear what happened, but since it was my ancestor who borrowed from you——this debt should be repaid. A man's promise is worth thousands of gold. Our family does not have any man that does not pay back their debt.”
The Wolf King stretched out a huge paw, “If you want to pay back your debts, give me the heart of the weak water.”
“Li Muyang, you have the heart of the weak water?” Lin Canghai whispered anxiously. Let alone such a sacred weapon like the heart of the weak water, he had not even seen the weak water before. “Besides, your ancestors are in Jiangnan city, how could they come to the water illusion to find the Wolf King to borrow things from? Don't listen to the nonsense. Wolves are cunning, it must be lying to us.”
Lin Canghai was thinking that Li Muyang is crazy, and this wolf is also crazy.
He had read about the stories of the weak water spirit in ancient books, and after coming to Starry Sky Academy, Teacher Yang had also specifically mentioned about the weak water spirit, one of the three main divine weapons to slay a dragon——
This sort of world-famous magical weapon—is it something that an ordinary person can covet?
This man and wolf was discussing this object like discussing Chinese cabbage. One was demanding for it and the other asking to return it. Do they think people are idiots?
“You stupid human——” The Wolf King was enraged. There was someone that dares to wrongly accuse him of lying, if it really was lying, would he have waited tens of thousands of years for the debt to be repaid?
“Don't worry. It's okay.” Li Muyang whispered. “It has mistaken me for someone else. So I'm trying to take advantage of its mistake.”
“I'm not mistaken.” The Wolf King felt as though a knife was inserted into his chest. A buzzing noise sounded sharply next to its ears, making it extremely uncomfortable. “I usually stay in the Wolf Cave to cultivate, absorbing the light of the red moon each day to withstand heavenly tribulation. The last time I left the cave was hundreds of years ago, when someone broke into my Wolf Cave. I had to come out to fight it. Do you think a few human bandits deserve to be dealt with by the king himself?”
“They why did you come out today?”
“Because I smelled a familiar scent.” The Wolf King's red eyes were unblinkingly fixed on Li Muyang. “Although thousands of years have pa.s.sed, but I know that this is a scent that I'm familiar with——Even the transformations of the world, and the changes of time and s.p.a.ce, would not make me forget it.”
“——”
Li Muyang was speechless. No wonder that the wise man always said that, to make a person remember you, you have to either make them fall in love with you or make them hate you. Or borrow money from them.
This, this was the truth of the world.
The old dragon had made a promise to the Wolf King, and even though thousands of years have pa.s.sed, it still could not forget about it. It abandoned its training when it smelled a familiar scent and came running here to find him to collect the debt——Every debt collector has a sad past.
“Then since you came to demand repayment, why do you want to kill me?” Li Muyang asked loudly.
“Because when I came her I realised that you are not the person I'm looking for——the closer, the fainter the scent. I thought I was tricked, so I placed my wrath on you and the other human beings.” The Wolf King explained frankly, without the intention of hiding anything.
Li Muyang understood. When Qiandu and him were playing the song 'Ambush on ten sides' together, the Wolf King must have sensed the mysterious smell that exuded from his body.
