Chapter 3 (2/2)
Yet right at this moment, another voice rang out: “Young lad, don’t listen to his nonsense. It is this fool’s nature to kill others, and if you listen to him, you’ll turn into a murderous demon king sooner or later. Why must you be so brutal? If there’s something wrong, can we not just all sit down and have a nice chat? Eventually, we’ll sort out who’s right and who’s wrong, will we not?”
More or less, but….
Wait a minute ah, could it be that instead of just one spirit, there was a pair?
“Xiao Sanshao, don’t bicker with me so much. I’m the one who first discovered this young fellow, so he is my responsibility to teach!” The first ancient voice bursted into fury: “I, Meng Xianji, traveled to all the corners of the world that year! I killed the humans who blocked me and killed the buddhists who blocked me! When have I ever suffered this sort of grievance?! If that Ye Jinning or whatever even dared to peek at me, I would have long since skinned him and torn him apart! I would have even devoured all his true qi!”
Hong Xiaobao: “….”
Very quickly, yet another spirit drifted out. This time, it appeared from within the blue gem, and the spirit was holding a feathered fan and wearing a headcovering. Dressed in a light blue robe, he really gave off the feeling of a playboy; it seemed that this was Xiao Sanshao. Glancing at Meng Xianji, his tone was obstinate and resolute: “Which is why you were chased by the entire world! You were scorned by all and any who say you would shriek to beat you!”
Hong Xiaobao: “….”
From the words, these two spirits were actually arguing?!
“Fine, fine, fine,” growled the elderly Meng Xianji in anger: “Come, come, come! Let us compete! That year, ninety-nine percent of those who chased after me died, and it won’t exclude you today either!”
“Let’s first stop arguing. It’s somewhat confusing, somewhat confusing!” Hong Xiaobao vigorously rubbed his head: “You guys should be facing each other inside the bracelet on my wrist, right? From the looks of it, both of you should have interacted with each other for many years now ah. How is that you start fighting with just one simple remark?”
After he said this, Hong Xiaobao looked towards the bracelet on his wrist and cried out in horror: “Wait a minute. This bracelet has nine gems, but there are only two of you…. It can’t be…. That there are nine spirits in total?”
As expected, the third spirit’s voice rings out: “This young lad is actually quite smart. Correct, we are nine in total. Chen Nan, have you awoken?” The spirit that arose from the red gem this time was actually a laughing, small fatty…. So adorable!
Silence.
The silence continued.
Around fifteen minutes later, the fourth spirit peeked his head out from the green gem and looks around in every direction, then answered: “En….” He had already returned; it seemed that this one was probably Chen Nan….
There really were nine spirits ahhhhhhhh!
Hong Xiaobao’s scalp went numb as he carefully asked: “Then, this…. Grandfather? What is *your name?”
(*TL: formal form of you)
The little fatty spirit was clearly more amiable, and he said: “My name is Xi Hong. Young lad, you are quite smart. Although you don’t have any martial arts to speak of to intimidate that Ye Jinning into fleeing, you’re quite interesting. En, you can call us nine the five Heavenly G.o.ds and the four Great Monstrous Demons.”
Five Heavenly G.o.ds and the four Great Monstrous Demons! What a domineering term of address!
Hong Xiaobao gawked: “So impressive?! Then what are the details?”
“It’s pa.s.sable, I suppose.” Xi Hong was probably one of the more gentle grandfathers, so it was very easy to speak to him because he was quite patient: “Eastern Demon Demon Emperor Meng Xianji is that white-haired killing fanatic. Not only did the guy kill people, he also eats them. En, so he is a culinary grandmaster. *Xi Hong is me. Northern Berserk Tian Can is that lazy b.u.m, and I believe he is still sleeping right now. Southern Spirit Chen Nan is that taciturn person from just before, while Central Sanshao is that handsome gentleman. His name is Xiao Sanshao, and he enjoys reasoning with people. En, even if he cannot reason with them, he can still take action too. Tian Can, Tian Can,” called Xi Hong in a loud voice: “Would you came and take a look at our little friend here?”
(*TL: Xi = 西 = West, but I’m keeping it Xi Hong for now)
“My condition today isn’t very good, so I’ll go rest first. Let’s talk again when I feel like it.” An apathetic voice rang out in a drowsy manner, and very soon, there was no more sound—en, this was probably Northern Berserk Tian Can.
“Then…. Who are the four Great Monstrous Demons?” Hong Xiaobao swallowed his saliva with a gulping sound.
“The four Great Monstrous Demons?” Xi Hong laughed: “They probably haven’t awakened yet. In this Heavenly Bracelet, a millennium pa.s.ses in the blink of an eye. I don’t even know how long we have been in there. Usually, it is too boring, so they all went to sleep. Wait until they awake, and then I’ll introduce them to you.”
“Al….alright….” Hong Xiaobao nodded his head.
The five Heavenly G.o.ds and the four Great Monstrous Demons had just became his carry-on grandfathers, although Hong Xiaobao did not know whether it was good or bad….
“Then,” pondered Hong Xiaobao: “Can you teach me some things? Do you think I still have a chance to cultivate?”
In actuality, it did not really matter that he had become a cripple after traveling to this world. At most, he could just became a pleasure-seeking prince who played around with science and technology. Arrogantly laughing at the entire world and rebuking the weather was still possible. However, if he did have the chance, who did not wish for their strength to abruptly soar, to became a great genius, capable of seizing multiple champions.h.i.+ps for various compet.i.tions, to win the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ranked beauties of the world, and then ascend to the peak of humanity?!
As such, now that he had the opportunity laying right in front of him, Hong Xiaobao would definitely get a clear answer!
These nine grandfathers. Just from their t.i.tles, if he randomly took out any one of them, they would probably be a tyrant, wouldn’t they?
