Chapter 919: What Are You?
“Fine then, I’ll stop transforming, what’s the big deal?” The woman quickly turned back into the blurred shadow situated in the most secretive recess of the sky, a location above all else. [1. Another Long Jingxian?]
Li Qiye was speechless after seeing the law transforming into so many different things. He felt a bit guilty after seeing this since he was the one who had corrupted the poor law.
The law protecting the pond was created from the heaven and earth. It was the purest of laws, one without life or emotions. However, it was able to transform into all things, or at least take their forms.
The blurred shadow asked: “Oh right, how is that woman doing now?”
Li Qiye looked at it with one eye and answered: “What does it have to do with you? You are not a living being, so stop caring about other people’s business.”
The blurred shadow quipped: “Oh, so you broke up. What’s wrong, did that woman dump you? Look at your pitiful state, I must be right. But yeah, who would like a crow anyway?”
Li Qiye angrily said: “f.u.c.k, since when did a lifeless thing like you gain such a big mouth? You’re just like the gossipers outside, you love to babble on and on all the time.”
“Babble my a.s.s.” The blurred shadow retorted with disdain: “Who was the incessant one back then? Just babbling in my ears all day about Su’er and then Zhan’er… you made me sick listening to it all the time.”
Li Qiye frowned after hearing this: “f.u.c.k, I knew I shouldn’t have told you all of those things!”
“Hehehe, it is too late now. I already know so many of your secrets.” The shadow said gloatingly.
Li Qiye gave it a look: “I was only playing around with you. Besides, how could I actually tell you any secrets?”
“Please, playing with me? I am the law of the heaven and earth and can derive all things with ease.” The shadow asked: “How can I not differentiate real stories from fake ones?”
Li Qiye was slightly speechless. The opponent was not a living being or even an existence, it was just a universal law. However, the d.a.m.ned thing really knew how to banter; its att.i.tude was just like him in the past. This nearly made him vomit blood.
The shadow said: “Hey, I gave myself a couple of names, tell me which one is the best.”
“Why do you want a name, your name is simply law.” Li Qiye answered.
“Nevermind then. If you don’t want to listen, don’t come begging for me later.” The shadow snorted with an arrogant demeanor that nearly drove Li Qiye crazy.
“Fine, tell me then.” Li Qiye had no choice but to acquiesce.
The shadow became spirited after finding a listener: “There are a couple, check them out. Sha Qiye, Zhen Qiye, Mie Qiye, Tu Qiye, Zhan Qiye… which one do you think is the best?” [1. Sha = kill, Zhen = suppress, Mie = extinguish, Tu = slaughter, Zhan = slash/behead.]
After the shadow said more than ten names in one breath, Li Qiye almost vomited blood again.
“None of them are you, you should just name yourself ‘Kill Your Sister’!” Li Qiye’s face turned black. [2. This is a common retort to say something rude + your sister. Don’t think it works as well in English.]
With that response, the shadow tilted its head and seriously pondered for a bit before continuing: “I think it would be nice to call myself Dark Crow.”
“That’s my t.i.tle!” Li Qiye snapped back: “Plus, you are just a universal law. You want a name? How about my a.s.s!”
“Bah, who says I don’t want a name? I am the greatest in this world, the one and only across all the eons, so naturally I would want a cool name!” The shadow arrogantly declared: “This immortal wants your name. From now on, I am Dark Crow!”
“Okay, can we talk for real now?” Li Qiye felt helpless and weakly spoke: “Calling yourself Dark Crow is only copying someone else. If you are the greatest in this world, wouldn’t this be too shameful?”
“Makes sense.” The shadow thought some more: “I am the greatest, so why should I share a t.i.tle with you? Okay then, from now on, I am Zhan Xian!” [3. Zhan Xian = Fight (Against) Immortal.]
“Why Zhan Xian?” Li Qiye curiously smiled.
“You said it before, in the ancient era, immortals were the only things in this world; they were above all else.” It arrogantly proclaimed: “Thus, I want to defeat and kill all immortals, hence the name Zhan Xian.”
“Very catchy, great name.” Li Qiye immediately praised. No matter if it was the truth or just flattery, it was better than letting the shadow have the name Dark Crow. Li Qiye thought that his prestige would be ruined otherwise.
