Chapter 414 Fierce
Chapter 415 Fierce
The owner of the enormous head is not human.
Its head resembles that of a cat, and its body has no scales, but rather a body covered in fiery red fur, like a raging fire, exuding a majestic aura.
Its whole face is so cute that you just want to pet it. This is the cutest Cangmao in the Three Realms.
I finally met Cangmao, so my trip to Kuocang Mountain wasn't in vain.
"Fellow Daoist—how shall I address you?"
Gong Juanzi, seeing Lu Hao staring intently at the cat, asked, "This silly cat still says others mean no harm, but look at that piercing gaze—"
"Just call me Lu Hao—"
Lu Hao withdrew his gaze; it wouldn't be good if he scared Cang Mao.
"Lu Hao? — Fellow Daoist Lu, forgive my poor eyesight, but he doesn't seem to be from the ancient martial arts era —"
Gong Juanzi probed.
"Gong Juanzi is not mistaken. I am indeed not from the ancient martial arts era. I am a new martial artist, but I have obtained a lot of information and intelligence, which is why I was able to recognize you. I also know about Cang Mao's situation and some details about the North-South War back then," Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Oh? Is that so? I didn't expect that a prodigy like Fellow Daoist Lu could emerge in the New Martial Era. I heard from Lü Zhen that the New Martial Era of humanity has only been going on for a hundred years, yet we already have such a great talent as Fellow Daoist Lu. It seems that this time the great trend is unfolding in the hands of humanity, and Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed a chosen one of destiny."
Gong Juanzi said, his expression unreadable.
"Xinwu still has some advantages. It's not just me; there are also various other prodigies. As for being called the Chosen One, that's not accurate. At most, they've just worked harder. Besides, with Cangmao here, who dares to call themselves the Chosen One?"
Lu Hao said with a smile.
"You're so fierce! I have a feeling I could get something out of you. Do you have some delicious treat hidden away?"
The grey cat in the river raised its head and spoke.
"Fierce-looking?" Lu Hao asked, puzzled.
"Yeah, look at all those red things around you, they look so fierce. But I think you're a good person, okay? Do you have anything good to eat for me? I'm starving! Gong Juanzi is abusing me, she doesn't give me any food!"
The cat cried out in anguish, as if it had suffered some great injustice.
Lu Hao smiled and glanced at Gong Juanzi. Although he didn't say anything, Gong Juanzi could still understand his meaning from his eyes: "Your entire realm can't even support a single cat?"
Gong Juanzi, her face dark, took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the Azure Cat is being mischievous—don't take it to heart—"
"Hahaha, Gong Juanzi, I still know Cangmao's nature. Maybe he's really evil. Come on, Cangmao, I have some good food for you."
As Lu Hao spoke, he took out all sorts of dishes that had been packed up by the mortals from his storage ring.
"It smells so good, so good! Are you going to give this to me, you fierce little devil?"
The cat immediately emerged from the golden river upon smelling the aroma, pointed at the dishes Lu Hao had taken out, and asked, tears welling up involuntarily from the corners of its mouth.
"This is for you to eat, eat it," Lu Hao said with a smile.
"Then this cat won't stand on ceremony. You're a good person even though you seem fierce. If anyone hits you in the future, let the big dog help you out—"
As Cangmao ate, he said that each dish would be gone in less than three seconds before the next dish was served.
Lu Hao watched as they continued to take out food. As for the big dog that Cang Mao mentioned, it was Tian Gou. He was probably still with the Divine Cult and hadn't recovered yet. He was a powerful expert who had broken through to the eighth level. However, Tian Gou had figured something out, so he cultivated frantically, trying to help Cang Mao break free from the chessboard. In the end, he was still not as advanced as Cang Mao.
"Thank you for the food, Fellow Daoist Lu. I haven't been this happy in all these years in this realm."
Seeing that Lu Hao showed no ill intent, Gong Juanzi lowered her guard, mainly due to Cang Mao's attitude.
"How many years has Gong Juanzi been here? Hasn't he ever thought of going out to see the world? The outside world has changed a lot."
"So many years have passed in the outside world, everything has changed. Who can know what's going on outside? Besides, the tide is about to turn. Going out now would be suicide."
Gong Juanzi looked at Cang Mao and said.
"There's no escaping it. This is the last major event. Everything will come to pass, and if you leave too late, you'll have even less chance to avoid it —"
Lu Hao shook his head and sighed, "This time, the trend is not like the small-scale events of the sect era or the North-South War, but the final glorious trend."
"Does Fellow Daoist Lu have any insights? I have been with Kuocang Mountain for many years, so my information is naturally not as thorough as yours."
"This time, humanity has produced too many prodigies; a true great trend is about to begin. Moreover, various ancient martial arts practitioners are starting to emerge. Do you know how old I am this year, and how many years it has taken me to cultivate to this point?"
Lu Hao turned his head and asked.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you can't tell from your appearance, but you are definitely a prodigy. Reaching the Emperor level must have taken you a considerable amount of time."
"I am twenty years old this year, and it has taken me less than three years to cultivate to this point —"
"...How much? May I ask how long a year is, Fellow Daoist Lu?" Gong Juanzi's entire illusory figure trembled upon hearing Lu Hao's answer.
Even he, a prodigy in the eyes of the world, took hundreds of years to achieve the position of Emperor. This—
"A day in the underground cave is one day and one morning, and there are 365 days in a year," Lu Hao replied with a smile.
Gong Juanzi was completely shocked. Before, she could still convince herself by the difference in time, but now the year Lu Hao mentioned was the same as the year in the underground cave.
Then why did I spend hundreds of years cultivating to become an Emperor?
Gong Juanzi was stunned; the entire phantom was frozen in place.
"Gong Juanzi, there's no need to worry. I've made such rapid progress due to a special opportunity. Now that the great trend has arrived, I should go with the flow, and my cultivation will naturally improve quickly."
Lu Hao said.
"Go with the flow—" the phantom murmured. Everyone knows this principle, but which side will be the final winner and which side will ultimately prevail depends on individual opinions.
After a while, Gong Juanzi finally came to his senses.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what brings you to Kuocang Mountain this time?"
Gong Juanzi asked, unsure what to call Lu Hao. Should he call him "Fellow Daoist"? Lu Hao was only 20 years old; should he call him "Junior"? Lu Hao was already at the Emperor level.
"Although the overall situation hasn't officially unfolded yet, signs are already appearing in various places. I won't be the one to stick my neck out. To be honest, I came here with the intention of taking Cangmao out. When the tide comes, there's no escaping it. Only by being in the thick of it can we have a chance to break the deadlock."
Lu Hao didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose. After all, if he tried to hide it from these ancient relics that were thousands of years old, they definitely wouldn't believe him. It was better to be open and honest.
"Azure Cat — The time is not right yet. Once it goes out, Azure Cat will become the target of everyone's attacks."
He will be the first true god-level expert to officially emerge from his celestial abode, attracting the attention of all powerful beings!
Gong Juanzi pondered.
