506 The Secret of the Void Map Part 2 (1/2)
A pungent odor pervaded the entire study room within a short time. Suddenly, Zhou Bao felt like vomiting.
”This spirit, this smell. Damn it. It smells just like that little monster!”
The smell triggered a memory that had long been sealed in the recesses of his mind. He first felt surprised, then shock, and suddenly he shouted. He could not stand the smell anymore and started to vomit.
Just as he was throwing up, his body flashed and the Three Realms Division appeared. In an instant, it broke through the hollow and emerged in his spiritual mind which had a telepathic connection with the source of the odor.
”It's you!”
Venerable Black Turtle had been prepared for Zhou Bao's sudden appearance. Just when Zhou Bao's figure was fading, he moved forward about three feet from his original position. He held the little monster in his hand. He greeted Zhou Bao who was smiling, ”It's me. I brought an old friend along!”
As soon as the little monster saw Zhou Bao, it began to squeak. Obvious signs of joy could be felt from its cries. It wrestled away from Venerable Black Turtle's hands and with a squeak, disappeared. Subsequently, a wave of pungent odor followed.
”Damn you!” Zhou Bao shouted. He had to use the Three Realms Division to avoid the force of the little monster's pungent odor.
”Black Turtle Elder, why are you with this little monster?”
”When you left Misty Mountain that year, Fate Creation Boy thought it was rather interesting. So he kept it at Taihua Mountains and trained it to practice the Great Way of Heavens and Realms. I only brought it with me here this time round because of a crucial matter !”
”Practising the Great Way of Heavens and Realms?” Zhou Bao was shocked. He looked at the little monster with envy. ”What a lucky fellow!”
”Squeak, squeak!” the little fellow's intelligence had been highly developed. Although it could not speak, it had a quick mind and could understand interaction between men. Hearing the jealous tones in Zhou Bao's words, it sat back on its haunches and with bulging cheeks, made a funny face at Zhou Bao.
”Haha, this little fellow!” After seeing the little monster, Zhou Bao's jealously dissipated. It was as if he was back to the days when he was practicing the Three Realms Division together with the little fellow; when they fooled around and ate roasted meat together. Zhou Bao immediately felt his spirits lifting. Reaching out, he broke through the hollow and grabbed the little fellow.
The little fellow was shocked by Zhou Bao's sudden move. It squirmed and tried to escape. However, it did not expect that Zhou Bao's hand had sealed off the surrounding hollow. This prevented it from going anywhere. Zhou Bao had successfully captured it, much to its surprise.
However, Zhou Bao did not do anything else. He only picked it up and placed it on his shoulder. He turned around and spoke to Venerable Black Turtle, ”The Elder's presence must signify something urgent. Please tell me more when we are in the study room!” As he spoke, Zhou Bao flipped his hand and a large slab of roasted meat appeared out of nowhere. He handed it over his shoulder.
The little fellow was still upset to have been caught by Zhou Bao. He wanted to release another fart but then smelt the roasted meat. Its face instantly broke into a grin. It grabbed the roasted meat, sat on Zhou Bao's shoulder and began chewing it, no longer thinking about Zhou Bao or Venerable Black Turtle.
Venerable Black Turtle looked at the little fellow, laughed and entered the study room together with Zhou Bao. When they were in the study room, both of their eyebrows instantly furrowed. The smell of the little fellow's fart still lingered in the study room. The two men had forgotten all about this and inhaled the pungent odor. They lifted their sleeves and swept out the lingering odor. At the same time, everything in the room was also overturned.
They placed the chairs back with wry smiles. Zhou Bao and Venerable Black Turtle were worried that the little fellow might threaten them again. He brought out another piece of roasted fish and handed it over his shoulder. It was only then that he smiled at Venerable Black Turtle, ”Elder, I wonder what orders you may have?”
”No orders. I just need your help with something!” Venerable Black Turtle smiled. Although Zhou Bao had extraordinary abilities and was not in the service of Venerable Black Turtle, he always maintained a respectful attitude towards him. This pleased Venerable Black Turtle immensely. Although at Zhou Bao's phase he need not have any worries, he still maintained an objective yet accommodating attitude towards everything. His respectful attitude would come in useful.
”I've come to ask you for a favor!”
