Chapter 96
The b.a.s.t.a.r.d Son Is Freed
Grand Senior Sister walked into the forbidden area, then saw Zhan Qisheng trapped at the centre of the stone court. She was stunned for a moment, looked at him in slight contempt, then walked past. Two steps later, her footsteps stopped. She turned suddenly, her eyes filled with shock.
“Zhan Qitian?”
Grand Senior Sister's eyes were filled with anger, murderous intent radiating across the vicinity. The air burned up as the stone court spontaneously turned into a sea of flames!
Zhan Qisheng, who was trapped inside, glared at her coldly with shame and fury in his eyes. Flames licked around him while the tree vines curled and burned off in the heat. Some leaves caught fire too, flames travelled like a fire snake towards Zhan Qisheng. Even the hair on his skin curled in the heat.
But Zhan Qisheng did not move. His eyes locked on her while his cheek moved, continuing to chew on the ant in audible crunches.
“You're not Zhan Qitian…” Grand Senior Sister regarded him from head to toe and the field of enmity suddenly disappeared. The air cooled instantly as if the flames were never there. “Zhan Qitian is not as trash as you are.”
The fury in his eyes intensified. His voice was bitter and hoa.r.s.e, as if a knife had slashed his throat when he asked, “Who are you?!”
“You don't have the right to ask me that now! Are you the third or fourth?”
He opened his mouth slightly, then finally swallowed what he wanted to say. His pride had been severely hurt these consecutive days.
He always had a low self-esteem due to being a b.a.s.t.a.r.d son, and this extreme inferiority complex manifested as arrogance. He deeply a.s.sociated himself with the Zhan blood and took pride in it. Even if he was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d son, he was the b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of the Zhan family! Even the worst son had a respectable rank in society!
Grand Senior Sister continued to speak. “Dragon, Phoenix, Dog, Pig… If you're not the dog, you're the pig. The dog is currently in charge of the Zhan family's money and can't leave the house. So you must be the 'pig', Zhan Qisheng? Why are you trapped here?”
As if he did not hear her, he stared ahead and put his attention on a huge ant climbing up the burnt tree vine. His gaze was fixed intently on it, waiting until it arrived before his face when he suddenly bit down on the tree vine. He bit down so hard that a section of the shrivelled vines came off. He chewed both the ant and the vine vigorously, c.o.c.king his head to glare at her with slanted eyes. It was the look of a hungry wolf.
Grand Senior Sister was as indifferent as a higher-being ignoring a puny ant's anger and mockery. “I do have ties with the Zhan family. Do you want me to free you?”
She turned her head and scanned her surroundings. The big guy hiding nearby quickly stepped behind a large tree, silently chanting, 'You can't see me you can't see me you can't see me…'
She turned to Zhan Qisheng. “Big Guy is still hiding and refuses to come out. So I'll let you go.”
Zhan Qisheng glared at her coldly, opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of wooden splinters and blood on his teeth. He chewed, then spat out a ball of wood and shot hoa.r.s.ely, “Go away!”
Grand Senior Sister paused in disbelief that someone would speak to her like that on Spiritual Mountain.
He grinned. “I want to stay here. The longer I stay, the brighter the flames of fury burn. And the brighter they burn, the stronger I am!” He did not finish his sentence. What he wanted to say was: and one day, my fury will turn into the most powerful force in the world and I shall kill you all!
She studied him in detail, nodding slightly. “Looks like the pig is just a ruse.”
His expression changed and turned. He felt as if she was looking into his soul.
'Even so, it's a pity you're not strong enough to defeat a dragon though.”
He turned to look at her and said coldly. “The Zhan brothers are of the same blood. Don't think you can drive a wedge between us with a few words.”
She replied flatly, “Oh, is that so?” Then, she turned and left in a breeze.
