Chapter 14: Li Cheng's Shifting Blame Is Also Heavyweight

In the boundless Abyss, an Abyssal Demon Dragon with huge wings raged back and forth, smashing an Abyss Demon Race member into fragments.

Those weak Abyss Demon Race members could only hide to one side, trembling, not daring to touch his bad luck.

Even the Abyssal Demon Dragon, always known for its brutality, had never ignored Abyssal laws like today, wantonly devouring everything around it.

Most terrifyingly, the prey he caught would not die easily, but would be chewed bit by bit into fragments by the dragon's sharp teeth.

As if only thus could his anger be appeased.

Two Abyssal Winged Birds trembled inside the turbulence.

"The, the Abyssal Demon Dragon Adult, what is this? Who, who made him unhappy?"

"No, don't know, Adult wasn't he quite happy yesterday, wasn't it said Lady Red Moon agreed to give him a chance to pursue her?"

Lady Red Moon, like the Abyssal Demon Dragon, was both a big shot in the Abyss.

These famous big shots all represented negative emotions in the Abyss, bearing the heavy responsibility of eroding other worlds.

To living beings of other worlds, they were like deities.

Of course, Abyssal Deities could completely be equated with evil gods.

Just like Lady Red Moon, she represented suffering, so the Tianming Continent called her the Goddess of Suffering.

The Demon Dragon liked Lady Red Moon, pursuing her for a long time, the whole Abyss knew this.

"Could it be, Lady Red Moon went back on her word again?"

On the other side, the Abyssal Demon Dragon roared, after killing all his own people around him, then hovered in midair, panting incessantly.

"Death Substitute Spirit Stone, what a Death Substitute Spirit Stone, I knew it, Xiu Si Da Er, you were not acting on impulse, you had long plotted!"

"Xiu Si Da Er, you newborn Dong Xi, I must kill you!"

His anger had not completely subsided; after great difficulty he had obtained the chance to pursue the goddess in his heart, but as a Demon Dragon his dignity was gone.

The goddess I licked for so long, I was about to invite her out for a walk with birds.

But the bird was gone.

Who can stand this!?

"Fortunately only my Dragon Whip was cut off..." the Demon Dragon whispered, his voice full of mockery: "Tiny and soulless soul, you don't understand Abyssal lifeforms at all; we are life forms far greater than yours, as long as the source remains, we can be reborn infinitely."

Indeed, don't look at the Demon Dragon's body being destroyed into that state, even his dignity was ultimately insulted.

But as long as the 【Dragon's Source Essence】 was not taken away.

All his injuries could recover completely.

This is Abyssal life.

"Hehe, taking away the source essence requires a special prayer, that prayer is not knowledge that lowly creatures like humans can understand." The Abyssal Demon Dragon mocked with a smile: "Xiu Si Da Er, wait, wait for me to descend, wait for me to return this pain a hundredfold!"

Thinking this, the Demon Dragon closed his eyes.

Just in case, he planned to sense his own source essence, and meanwhile start the source essence now to slowly repair his dragon body.

The next second, he frowned.

"Huh, why can't I sense the source essence? Oh, I remember, I cut off the connection before, yes, correct, need to expand part of the perception range."

The Demon Dragon said, closing his eyes again.

The next second, he frowned again.

"Hiss, why still can't I sense it? Did I hide it that deeply? Expand the perception range again!"

The Demon Dragon closed his eyes again.

After repeating this several times, he tremblingly opened his eyes, his lips quivering, his voice choked with sobs.

"No, gone..."

"My source essence, gone..."

"Everything, all gone..."

Grief surged in his heart; the Demon Dragon even forgot to flap his wings, and the whole dragon fell from the air.

The Dragon's Source Essence was gone, not only meaning that after he descended to the Tianming Continent, his strongest reliance was gone.

It also meant that his dignity would never return.

He, the Abyssal Demon Dragon, from today on, was a Nan Liang Dragon! Crystal dragon tears drifted in the Abyss.

This Demon Dragon that made countless worlds, even countless Abyssal lifeforms, fear... just like that openly and aboveboard...

Cried out!

Those drifting little pearls were not only tears, but also the funeral he offered for his lost dignity!

"Damn Xiu Si Da Er!!!"

With a roar, the Demon Dragon flapped his wings and rose, his loud roar shaking this part of the Abyss thoroughly.

"Pass on my order: all my followers, Demon Dragon believers in the mortal world, everyone, as long as you see Xiu Si Da Er, bring him back here for me!"

"I want him to taste eternal torment!" — Order Sect territory, Ka Te Li Er Cheng.

Dazzling sunlight filtered through the shutters into the Storm King Palace Bedroom; Xiu Si Da Er's eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his hazy sleepy eyes.

Sitting up from the bed, washing and dressing, stretching lazily facing the morning sun, today was another beautiful day.

The Full Moon Academy entrance exam arrived as scheduled; as the eldest son of the Dal Family, he should represent the Order Sect and Border Nobles to go to the Academy for further studies.

Curving his mouth corner at the maid, narrowing his eyes, showing his signature elegant smile.

Admiring the maid's blushing appearance, Xiu Si Da Er was extremely satisfied.

Then looking at himself in the mirror.

Elegant temperament, feminine face, long robe with white base and gold trim, purple gem-like eyes; in this world, was there any man more elegant and higher-class than himself?

Xiu Si Da Er knew his charm well; after all, he ranked second on the Order Sect's most charming believers list.

But regarding this list, Xiu Si was very dissatisfied.

How could his charm possibly be inferior to that Saintess's?

Entering the dining hall, he sat before his father who had long been waiting, elegantly picked up his knife and fork, cut the stinky tofu into small pieces, and chewed slowly and exquisitely.

"Xiu Si, it's about time." Lao Da Er wiped his mouth, and he carried the same elegance as his son.

The maid beside them struggled to maintain a fake smile.

Stinky tofu with soybean juice — how the two of you can eat so elegantly is beyond me.

"Yes, I know, Father. After this breakfast, I should depart for the Academy." Xiu Si Da Er took a sip of soybean juice, then elegantly wiped the white liquid from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm, do you still remember our Dal Family's ancestral precepts?" Lao Da Er tapped the table.

"Never forget the dignity of a noble, never expose yourself before the masses; those who truly hold authority never deign to stand at the forefront." Xiu Si elegantly picked up a salted duck egg, inhaling its salty, moist fragrance:

"With an invisible hand, manipulate visible strife, and let the world become puppets on our strings."

"Father, rest assured, I will remember the ancestral precepts and bring Full Moon Academy into the hands of the Church. That peerless, alluring beauty of a Full Moon Dean will be no exception."

"Very good." Lao Da Er looked at his son with gratification, and nodded elegantly as well.

Our family has always been at odds with those idiots who love to show off their sanctity before people.

Among the Abyss Demon Race lurk countless horrors, and the Abyss Sect regards human strong ones as thorns in the eye; every extra time one exposes oneself before the masses, one makes an extra enemy.

Countless geniuses who died young are living examples.

When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman profits.

Only by hiding behind the scenes and believing in the Arrive of staying hidden can one safely control the whole situation.

Inciting conflict, sowing discord — that is what we nobles should do.

It is precisely thanks to this ancestral precept that the Dal Family could become the King of the Border, and still be regarded as good people by other families.

And his own elegant son has undoubtedly comprehended the truth within it.

One big, one small — two old silver coins smiled at each other, both elegantly raising their soybean juice, blowing twice, slowly swallowing, and licking the white liquid from the corners of their mouths.

But what they did not know was,

Xiu Si Da Er's fame had already spread throughout the entire Abyss Realm, and even within the Abyss Sect in Ren Jie, early this morning.

A bounty of one billion gold had been placed on his head.

"The Funeral of the Dragon Descendant" — that is his new title.

If Xiu Si Da Er learned of this, he would surely shed tears of happiness, one would think.
