863 Ridiculous Little Fatty (1/2)
The person that hovered above was stunned.
”What? It's customary to reimburse some spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to the Ascended… but the Ascended in the past have only wilted the flora for an area of thirty to forty feet around them at most. Why is this one today sucking dry a thousand and five hundred miles of the forest? What's – what's going on? Could this person be practicing some sort of evil art that specializes in devouring the life of others?”
”So what if that's the case? What's it got to do with me? I'd better run quickly now.”
”I thought I'd come and take a peek to see what's so great… but it's troublesome if you come to know people like this…”
The silhouette high in the sky vanished instantly.
In Yun Yang's deific consciousness, Emmie stretched lazily, its leaves looking greener and healthier, and it went back to a deep slumber.
…
”What's going on?” Yun Yang felt as if his head had been shoved into a cloud of cotton.
”I've come to the Bound of Universe officially as an Ascended. What happened earlier has assured this. Why am I thrown into such a place now? Don't I have to complete some registration procedure? Shouldn't there be some guide who provides further arrangements and that sort of thing? Isn't it…”
Questions bubbled like a fizzy drink in his head, to which he had no answers to.
A moment later when the shower of dust was about done, it dawned clearly on Yun Yang that he had truly been abandoned here.
It was definite that there would be no reception of any sort.
”Heck, I'm still a top-notch expert down in the other realm – to think that there's actually no welcoming of any kind when I arrive! I don't even see any living person here, discarded in the wilderness without any sign of life to be seen for thousands of miles… What's the meaning of this? Biasedness?”
Yun Yang muttered in dissatisfaction. The triumphant air he had exuded earlier had totally vanished.
As he adjusted his feelings and tried to find his bearings, looking up into the sun for orientation, he saw a black dot growing larger and falling like a meteor from the sky. With a loud bang, the black dot sank into the ocean of dust and fine fragments of leaves that had just gained its peace.
Then…
”Cough – cough – cough…”
It was clearly a person who had fallen deep into the thick cushion of dust and was unsurprisingly choking and coughing out the debris. However, his heaving inevitably made him inhale even more dust as his voice sounded extremely coarse.
”Cough – cough… What's this – this…”
Following the complaint, the person could be seen picking himself up with much effort. As Yun Yang's gaze trailed after the motion, he saw that it was a plump little fatty; the fatty did not look very old either.
The rotund fellow had a round head, a round face, two round eyes, a round nose, a round mouth, a pair of round ears, and a round tummy… He looked rather comedic.
Just as the fatty climbed out of the heap of dust, his hands went straight to rub his eyes as he 'cleverly' blew upwards to blow away the fine particles clinging onto his face only for the dirt to scatter everywhere.
He then recalled something...
”F*cking hell, why am I blowing? Why am I not using water?”
