Chapter 1478: You Cannot Trust a Virtue-Lacking Dog (Third Update)

"Teacher Er Gou, something seems wrong!"

At this moment, Duan Jiude and Er Gouzi had already stopped, their expressions strange.

After arguing for so long, why hadn't that kid Xu Que made even the slightest move?

According to past experience, even if he were just acting, he should have come out to curse at the two of them by now!

"No way, could it be that this kid really can't make it anymore?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" Duan Jiude stroked his small mustache, suddenly revealing a joyful expression on his face: "But thinking about it carefully, regardless of whether this kid can make it or not, it seems we can still continue earning..."

"That's right."

Er Gouzi realized what was happening, his eyes lighting up.

With a swift whoosh, he immediately jumped off Xu Que's body and looked toward the group of Cultivators from Tianzhou not far away.

Er Gouzi stood upright on two legs in a human posture, placing his two front paws on his hips; his momentum was like a rainbow as he shouted loudly:

"Everyone, this crisis in Tianzhou was entirely thanks to my Explosive Heaven Gang; if this Divine Venerable had not released Xu Que at the critical moment, Tianzhou would have been finished long ago. Now that my Brother Que is tired and has started sleeping, you wise ones should hurry up and hand over the protection fees you owe from just now."

"That's right, you all know Brother Que's usual style; if you don't pay the protection fee, you're dead meat, and once Brother Que wakes up, he'll start chopping people." Duan Jiude chimed in from the side to assist, his tone full of threats.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Good heavens, they had almost truly fallen for it.

That "Virtue-Lacking Dog" was definitely acting just now; seeing that we didn't fall for it, he has started switching to collecting protection fees instead.

"I assert that Xu Que is already awake and is just lying there pretending to be dead!" an old man stated decisively.

"Inevitably so; if Xu Que couldn't make it, this dog and Duan Jiude would have fled long ago."

Just when Xu Que was about to explode, they had witnessed with their own eyes how quickly Gou and De had slipped away faster than anyone else.

Although the Virtue-Lacking Dog is the normal state of this combination, when it comes to the word 'dog', these two are still one head stronger.

They dare to return and shout so arrogantly; they must have some backing.

"This Divine Venerable is giving you one last chance! One hundred million top-grade Spirit Crystals per person! Otherwise, don't blame me for closing the gate and unleashing Duan Jiude!"

"Er Gouzi, do you understand human speech?" After cursing once, Duan Jiude pointed at Xu Que and said: "Unleash Xu Que!"

"Brother Que is shriveled up right now; he can't do it!"

"You actually dare to discuss Brother Que like this? Er Gouzi, you're dead!"

"Damn it, Duan Jiude, you're looking for death; taste this mouthful of Nine-Turn Blazing Flames thick phlegm from this Divine Venerable!"

The man and the dog inexplicably started internal strife again, nearly coming to blows!

Seeing this scene, everyone became even more certain of their guess!

It was confirmed with solid evidence; Xu Que was absolutely pretending to be dead!

It's just that we are too far away, so they simply cannot catch everyone in one net, which is why they thought of this method.

However, we are not idiots; such clumsy tricks might fool us once or twice, but if you want to fool us a third time, no way in hell!

Matters should not exceed three times; if you understand, give applause!

"Fellow Daoists, my sect has urgent matters; farewell!" One person took the lead and, without hesitation, turned and left with his Disciples.

The other Cultivators also realized that the matter of seizing Xu Que's Dharma Spells was mostly hopeless, so they simply dismissed the thought to avoid being swindled out of a huge sum.

"My sect also has urgent matters; we will go first."

"Upper Immortal Xuan Yuan! The Sect Master has issued orders; we will take our leave first." As someone departed, he did not forget to greet Xuan Yuan Wanrong.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong had been standing not far away the whole time, watching everything with cold eyes; she had no intention of intervening to manage things, nor did she have the mind to stop them.

Moreover, she was the one who knew most clearly whether Xu Que was truly dead or faking it.

From the moment Xu Que's name was carved into the Imperial Physician Heavenly Stone, the two of them had already shared a life-and-death bond.

If Xu Que were dead, it would be impossible for her, Xuan Yuan Wanrong, to still be standing here perfectly fine.

"Presumptuous! Who allowed you to leave? Owning overdue protection fees to the Explosive Heaven Gang is a grave crime; once Brother Que wakes up, he will definitely settle accounts with each and every one of you!" Er Gouzi continued to shout arrogantly.

At this moment, the people from those sects felt even more resolute in their hearts!

This Virtue-Lacking Dog is truly preparing to swindle them again!

Furthermore, in today's battle, although Xu Que made no distinction between friend and foe, in the end, he still helped Tianzhou drive away the invaders from Immortal Yuan Continent.

In a certain sense, they also owed him a favor.

Even if Xu Que were truly unconscious, with Xuan Yuan Wanrong and Gou-De present, could they really succeed?

Additionally, there was Xu Que's demonic aspect just now...

The power he displayed was too terrifying!

There was no need for everyone to take risks; hurrying to slip away was the right move.

As for Gou-De threatening to come knocking at their doors?

They would deal with it when he actually came knocking!

Even if Xu Que is incredibly powerful, he would not dare to turn against the entire Tianzhou.

Seeing those people departing one after another, Duan Jiude couldn't help but curse loudly: "Er Gouzi, what terrible acting!"

"This Divine Venerable curses your mother; isn't it just that your acting was too bad? Otherwise, this round would definitely have been a huge windfall!"

The moment they got close to Xu Que, the man and the dog had already detected that he was truly exhausted and weak.

But this still did not affect their plan.

As long as they could bluff some treasures, what about Xu Que's life or death?

It's just a matter of burning a bit more spirit money and candles.

But what they never expected was that those wastes would have such small guts and actually run away.

"You two look after him."

At this moment, Xuan Yuan Wanrong looked at Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude and spoke coldly.

Immediately, his figure leaped, instantly transforming into a streak of white light that shot toward the sky, departing directly until he vanished without a trace.

……

"Damn, they've all left!" Er Gouzi bulged his eyeballs.

This whole wave, we didn't snag anything at all!

"Forget it, forget it; it's not like we gained nothing, at least this kid is still here." Duan Jiude pointed at Xu Que, who lay on the ground unconscious, and a smile spread across his face once more.

If we couldn't get any Benefit from the others, we'd get it from Xu Que; surely we wouldn't end up empty-handed.

"Let's take him away first; normally, no one knows where this kid hides his Treasures—he doesn't even wear a Storage Ring, yet he can always produce them out of thin air. This Divine Venerable is going to give him a thorough body search this time."

Er Gouzi said with fervent eyes.

Very soon.

Several hours later, Duan Jiude and Er Gouzi carried Xu Que back to their previous hiding spot.

Looking at the unconscious Xu Que, Er Gouzi couldn't help but lick his lips.

Along the way, they had already finished searching Xu Que's person.

Good heavens, they hadn't found a single Treasure!

At this moment, Er Gouzi set his sights on Xu Que's Flesh Body.

Such a despicable look, falling into Duan Jiude's eyes, instantly made it clear that this stupid dog must have some idea.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Er Gouzi bit down on Xu Que's arm!

"Crack!"

This Er Gouzi's heart is truly ruthless!

Whether toward himself or toward Xu Que, it was damn well too ruthless!

Duan Jiude picked up the half dog tooth Er Gouzi had broken off while gnawing on Xu Que and laughed loudly: "Er Gouzi, your teeth aren't good; you're lacking calcium!"

"Damn! How is this kid's Flesh Body even several degrees stronger than this Divine Venerable's?"

The reason Er Gouzi could roam freely for so many years was precisely because he was dogged and tough enough!

Yet now, Xu Que was actually tougher than him!

More importantly, in Er Gouzi's eyes, he himself was not human, but Xu Que was truly a dog!

His only two advantages had actually been surpassed by this kid Xu.

Duan Jiude stared at Xu Que on the ground and asked: "As for you, what were you planning to do just now?"

"You saw Xu Kid's performance yourself; this bastard must have awakened an incredibly powerful Beast Bloodline by now!"

After all, after such an explosion just now, he ended up with absolutely nothing wrong?

Isn't that the manifestation of a powerful Beast Bloodline?

Duan Jiude understood Er Gouzi's meaning; this fellow was probably hoping to bite off a chunk of Xu Que's flesh while he was unconscious to enhance his own Beast Bloodline.

It was just that Er Gouzi's teeth were a bit lacking, resulting in trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice instead.

But as for Er Gouzi's idea...

The next moment, Duan Jiude pulled out an Immortal Artifact: "Teacher Xu's body hides too many secrets; as the Tianzhou Chief Bloodline Researcher, I, Duan, feel it is necessary to examine him carefully."

Er Gouzi also retrieved a set of glittering golden false teeth of Immortal Artifact grade from the unique space within his belly and fitted them directly into his mouth!
