Chapter 629 Bull King (2/2)
Xin Shisiniang said, ”You over-praised us. This place of mine, how can it be compatible with the breathtaking view of the Tianmen Straits?”
Wang Shidao chuckled and said, ”Each has their own enigmatic beauty, there is no comparison over this.”
Xin Shisiniang replied hesitantly, ”Why did you travel over to this place, is there anything we can help?”
”I would like to trouble you to return that scroll of empty white painting to me,” said Wang Shidao courteously.
Xin Shisiniang said, ”That scroll of painting had been taken by my husband.”
”However, I am aware that when you, Shisiniang, married the Bull King, you had requested to have that painting as your betrothal gift. I am afraid that you have the idea of using this painting to request help from Qing Xuan connoisseurs in defeating Bull King, inadvertently murdering your father's foe. Nonetheless, because of Daoist Master Taiyi's divine restriction on that painting, Bull King was unable to reap any benefits from it. He must be angered. So, he would not let you have the painting,” said Wang Shidao patiently.
Xin Shisiniang replied plainly, ”What can you do even if that was the case? When I married him, these terms were discussed, yet he was still willing to marry me.”
Wang Shidao chuckled and said, ”Bull King is a heroic figure amongst the demons, he would naturally neglect your status. Hence, he is not fearful of your prospective revenge. Moreover, he had once fallen in love with a lady from the fox clan, you two looked extremely alike. She passed away. That is why he married you.”
Xin Shisiniang was stunned, she was silenced for a period of time and spoke plaintively, ”Now I understand, this was the reason why he married me.”
”Shisiniang, there is no need for you to worry about revenging him. Do you know why the Bull King had left this time? It was because there were people who challenged him to a battle of life and death. Though he generously agreed to it, he had in fact, no confidence to claim victory. Thus, he left beforehand, fearing that as the battle was nearing, he might weaken as he sees your face. When the battle starts, the possibility of him surviving would be slim,” said Wang Shidao calmly.
Xin Shisiniang seemed rather surprised, she said, ”I know his abilities better than anyone else. Who was it who challenged him to this battle of life and death? What is his intention? It is a known fact that such a mighty figure like him would never fight against any foes who were as strong as he is.”
Wang Shidao replied, ”A thousand year ago, Bull King had collected an item from the Vidyaraja Temple. The owner of that temple had successfully cultivated. It is not surprising to have the owner seeking Bull King, forcing him to return the stolen item. The two of them are now one of the top demons in the world. Once they start battling each other, no one will be able to predict the results. It might be possible that even the Bull King cannot fight against his opponent's supernatural powers. Having said that much, I once again request Shisiniang to return me that painting or I will have to take it myself.”
Xin Shisiniang spoke coldly, ”Zhenren Wang, you are known as an enlightened and highly respectable man. Are you not worried about destroying your image with such ill-mannerism?”
Wang Shidao sighed and said, ”Those are merely honorifics that are insignificant, I understood this long ago.”
Once he channeled his divine Qi, Xi Shisiniang was heavily pressured. She eventually said, ”I will give it to you.”
She removed the scroll of white painting from her body and threw it towards Wang Shidao. Wang Shidao had a glanced of it and smiled, he said, ”Do excuse my offenses.”
He then transformed into a white blaze and left towards the sky.
In the late evening, Xin Shisiniang met Shen Lian. She immediately understood what was going on and left him only one statement, ”Zhenren Shen, you are too late.”
After Shen Lian had a clear understanding of what had happened from Xin Shisiniang, he realized that this was the doings of Lu Jiuyuan, if it was not him, Shen Lian could have predicted this incident. He was currently not inferior to Lu Jiuyuan. However, at this side of the world, he was still considered as a guest and Lu Jiuyuan was the host, which the host would be blessed with more advantages.
