Chapter 617: Miserable Fatty (1/2)
Numerous metallic arms glinted in the sunlight as they crashed down towards the youth. Huang San opened his mouth. He knew that he was doomed, but at the critical moment when one of the arms descended, a shadow flickered past.
Boom boom boom boom!
Four successive loud sounds rang, and Huang San was stunned to see all of the metal automatons fly away like punching bags. He then felt something wrap around his neck as he was picked up by someone. The scenery before his eyes constantly changed, and the remains of the metal automatons vanished.
Huang San was hyperventilating as he looked around since he finally got an opportunity to check his surroundings. He quickly found the person who had rescued him, and he appeared to be about his age.
“Br- brother, thank you. I, Huang San, will never forget your kindness in saving my life.” Huang San was breathing heavily, and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He even had to lift his pants to move forward.
Lu Yin stared at the fatty who evidently had no strength left, and although his eyes flickered, he did not speak.
“May I know this brother’s respected name? Since you easily defeated a First Divine Gate Guardian, I believe that you must not be someone unknown. I am Huang San of the Bloodburn Realm.” The fatty rose to his feet with a bit of difficulty as he politely spoke to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at him in the same manner as before, but he still did not speak. He had not yet made any sense of his present circ.u.mstances, so he simply pretended to be deaf and mute, as it was better to be cautious.
The fatty blinked. “Brother, I’m Huang San, from the Bloodburn Realm.”
Lu Yin remained silent as he looked up at the sky.
The fatty raised a hand and waved it in front of Lu Yin’s eyes in order to get Lu Yin’s attention. “Bro! I’m Huang San.”
Lu Yin just calmly looked at him.
Huang San was speechless. “Is Bro a mute?”
Lu Yin’s gaze remained unruffled.
Huang San’s expression turned sour. “I can’t be that unlucky! I finally met an expert after suffering all kinds of problems, but now it turns out he’s a mute! How tragic...”
Lu Yin started walking to a higher part of the mountain.
Huang San immediately moved forward as well. “Brother, even if you can’t speak, you should still be able to make a few gestures! Where are you from? Which progenitor’s path are you from? The Progenitor of Bloodlines? The Progenitor of Combat? The Progenitor of Secret Arts?”
Lu Yin’s gaze abruptly changed. What? The Progenitor of Bloodlines? The Progenitor of Combat? The Progenitor of Secret Arts?
“What the @&*$? Progenitor of Bloodlines? Progenitor of Combat? Progenitor of Secret Arts? Could that fatty really be talking about Progenitors? That’s impossible! The universe shouldn’t have any more Progenitors! That’s supposed to be a title reserved only for a certain level of super powerhouse!” the Ghost Monkey shrieked.
Lu Yin thought about the fatty’s words for a moment, and he looked at the sky again before continuing his leisurely walk up the mountain.
“Bro, don’t tell me you can’t hear me either! Can Fat Bro really be so unlucky as to meet a deaf mute?” The fatty lamented even as he chased after Lu Yin.
“Bro, can you really not hear me? Are you trying to fool Fat Bro? There’s no need for such a thing! I’m just a puny Explorer without much talent, so there’s no benefit in deceiving me. You can go ahead and say something!”
“Bro, you look pretty decent, though not half as good as Fat Bro.”
“Bro, let’s become sworn brothers.”
…
Apparently, the fatty was someone who could not remain still, and he continued to chatter away next to Lu Yin. Although it was mostly a bunch of nonsense, it still gave Lu Yin the opportunity to learn some certain details, such as the fact that the fatty was an Explorer, that he was looking for his fiancée in this place, and most importantly, that this place was called the Daosource Sect.
And through the youth’s words, Lu Yin quickly realized that he did not know any of the places that the fatty was mentioning, and some of the terms that he used were foreign as well.
“Bro, which powerhouse did you get your imprint from? A regular Imprinter? A World Imprinter? A Cosmic Imprinter?”
“Bro, can you really not hear me?” The fatty’s voice jumped an octave higher.
…
Finally, the youth became completely confident that Lu Yin truly could not hear him, and at that point, he began to share his life story. “Fat Bro was born in the Bloodburn Realm, and the Huang family was originally an Imprinter clan that made contributions during the ancient war between the mainlands. But after that Imprinter ancestor died, the clan started to deteriorate. Fat Bro was fine with that, as I would be satisfied just muddling my way through life and simply waiting for death, but heavens like to turn humans into fools. Fat Bro coincidentally met Xiaojing and fell into the river of love. And since my Huang family and Xiaojing’s Yan family have an agreed upon engagement contract, Fat Bro felt like I had reached the peak of my life.
“Unfortunately, their Yan family looks down on my Huang family. Did you know, Bro, that the Yan Family has an Imprinter right now? That means that they’re a true Imprinter clan. If my Huang family was still an Imprinter clan, then this engagement would still be valid, but now… Sigh, it’s just a story of tears.
“The most frustrating part is that the Autumnfrost family has started to interfere, and that shameless Autumnfrost Qing actually wants to woo my Xiaojing! The Yan family can’t wait to latch onto the Autumnfrost family since they’re one of the strongest families in the entire Bloodburn Realm, and there’s actually a world Imprinter in their clan! That’s a world Imprinter! Even in the glory days of my Huang family, we couldn’t compare to such a family. Sigh, Fat Bro’s love life has been too turbulent, and even though Xiaojing and I could live together harmoniously, there are just too many obstructions.
“But Fat Bro will not give up! Fat Bro is determined to marry Xiaojing! That’s Fat Bro’s lifelong dream.”
…
The fatty spoke nonstop for an entire hour, and Lu Yin listened to him in silence. As for whatever Imprinter, world Imprinter, and whatnot, Lu Yin did not understand a single word. However, that was still alright. As long as he spent enough time with the fatty, this fellow would definitely spill all the beans.
