497 Huang Family’s Supporter (1/2)
[This is too much to handle. But, a brother is a brother.] Big Bear remained silently thought. He then rebuked and gnashed his teeth as he looked at the Tiger King — Earth Cracker. Then, he suddenly felt a sense of sympathy the next moment…
[Everyone has a character-trait worth being kicked to death over…]
These two big men were obviously carrying out the agreement they had made with Jun Mo Xie while he was disguised as the Mysterious Master back in Tian Fa. The first batch of the herbs was being delivered to the Tian Xiang City from Tian Fa by these two Xuan Beast Kings.
The Xuan Beast Kings had done nothing else after Jun Mo Xie had left. They had urgently tasked all the Xuan Beasts to search for the legendary medicinal herbs. And, they had collected them till they had enough to make one batch. Then, the Beast Kings had decided to deliver those herbs without delay…
The situation between the seven Beast Kings had nearly devolved into a fight when they came to deciding which two would escort the consignment. After all, 'trips' like these very rare to come by. In fact, it was basically like an 'all expenses paid' trip. Moreover, there was a chance that they might get some extra rewards from that Mysterious Master… So, who wouldn't wish to go on this trip?
The Bear King and the Tiger King fought hard, and won the right to escort the material in the end. After all, Long Crane was obviously required to stay back and preside over the forest. Big Bear had believed that — [I obviously won't stay behind and take command in the present conditions. Tian Fa would become a place for daily high-stake duels if I stayed behind and oversaw things. There even might be another Xuan Beast uprising…]
Long Crane had been confronted with the annoying menace of these shameless rascals. Therefore, he had no choice but to wrinkle his nose, and admit defeat. But, he set one rule before the two selected Beast Kings left — [You two will have to travel on foot! I won't allow the use of any flying beast!]
Would the flying Xuan Beasts dare to move out once the Crane King had given that order?
Henceforth, Big Bear felt wronged throughout the journey.
However, the Tiger King hadn't left the Tian Fa Forest in several decades. So, everything he saw seemed refreshing to him. He had been happy and excited throughout the journey. And, this had made Big Bear so resentful and sullen that he had no option but to vent those feelings out…
The Tiger King wasn't as learned as his companion. So, this trip had been a very pleasant and unique experience for him. In fact, he felt that his cheeks had somewhat stiffened from smiling too much. But, the look on his Fourth Elder Brother's face had made it obvious that the latter was brimming with resentment down to his very belly.
They had been attacked regularly by robbers. And, those robbers had become the target-vents for their resentments. Else, it could be assumed that Big Bear would've lectured Earth Cracker into a depression over the course of the journey.
The two Beast Kings were getting increasingly closer to the Tian Xiang City as they leisurely went-on with their journey. In fact, they seemed to be enjoying the attacks they had been facing their entire journey. Could those common-robbers rival these two Beast Kings? Those greedy folks were obviously being used for target practice…
The Golden Tiger King had been playing around the entire journey. He would first expose his aura into the surroundings in attempts to lure competition. Then, he'd sling a bag of those hundred-year-old herbs over his shoulder for everyone to see. Consequently, the robbers would come rushing like bees to honey…
He had even proposed out of excitement, ”We don't need to fly the next time either if we're sent to do something like this, Elder Brother! Damn! Flying over isn't half as much fun! But, this is too great…”
Big Bear rolled his eyes unhappily, ”You think you're getting a chance the next time? I've got nothing to say to you if that's the case. And, let me tell you something for your own sake — don't try to worm your way into getting on my good side. I don't want to be around you…”
The Tiger King smiled in a silly manner. He continued to flatter his counterpart… And, these two men continued onwards like this their entire journey…
…. ….
Golden East City… The Huang Family's residence…
A purple-robed old man slowly settled onto a chair in the middle of the drawing room. He had grey and white hair, and his grey eyebrows were slanted upwards. He seemed to be giving off a very fierce aura even though he was motionless. But, his cheeks were exceptionally rosy and glossy. The grey and white hair on his head seemed very unique but mutually incompatible in their two shades. This man's facial features strangely appeared similar to someone who was around thirty to forty years old. In fact, he gave of a feeling of youthful appearance despite his age. His eyes were slightly narrowed, but the light flashing in them seemed to carry substance. He hadn't spoken anything, but his personality seemed as vast as the oceans. There was no way anyone could see through, or even read him. He was sitting so calmly that it seemed as if he had already integrated into the surroundings.
It seemed as if he had melted into the vast ocean of the universe!
This man seemed one with the nature!
This purple-clad man had already surpassed the level of Great Masters.
