Chapter 492: I Have a Question!

~9 min read 1,746 words

The entire arena fell silent, all eyes fixed on Xu Que, the atmosphere growing somewhat eerie.

At this moment, Lao Li could no longer hold back and squeezed through the crowd, using Sound Transmission to whisper a warning to Xu Que: "General Zhuge, do not act impulsively; with your strength, the Danyang Sect certainly poses no threat, but their sect leader's younger sister, who is also General Shang's aunt, married into a great Clan Overseas and must not be offended!"

"He has an aunt, and she is connected to Overseas?" Xu Que couldn't help but frown.

Lao Li hurriedly replied via Sound Transmission: "Rumor has it his aunt possesses a special constitution with two Heavenly Spirit Roots; a high-ranking expert wandering Overseas discovered her, took her away, and later she gained fame Overseas before marrying a Heavenly Pride of a great Clan!"

"That means nothing; in front of my Blasting Heaven Gang, everything is but a Cloud!" Xu Que stated with Solemnity.

Meanwhile, Shang Wu had already consumed a Pill, quickly recovering from his injuries, and stared straight at Xu Que with gnashing teeth, angrily shouting: "Zhuge Liang, you bully people too much!"

"Oh, when did I ever bully you?" Xu Que narrowed his eyes, smiling faintly.

Er Gouzi suddenly scrambled up at this moment, looking domineering as he declared: "Exactly! Who the hell bullied you?"

Having said that, he suddenly collapsed again, pretending to be on his last breath, and spoke weakly: "Kid, this Divine Venerable is about to kick the bucket; remember to avenge... avenge me!"

Everyone present instantly felt lines of black sweat appear on their foreheads!

Damn it, is this how you play dead dog? Can't you even act a little convincingly? Standing up halfway through death to shout threats, then falling down again to pretend to be dead; do you take us for fools?

"General Shang! It seems I haven't offended you, yet from the moment I entered the City until just now, you were the one picking fights; I, Zhuge Liang, am considered the one with the best temper in the Blasting Heaven Gang, but I am also the one who can least tolerate being insulted; if someone curses me once, I kill their entire family, something I often do!" Xu Que threatened with an air of unhurried confidence.

In fact, given his temper, if he had encountered someone like Shang Wu, he would have taught him a harsh lesson outside the City long ago; in the end, he only spared him out of respect for Situ Haitang!

But he never expected that while he and Er Gou were just messing around in the Inn, this guy would dare to interfere, so he could only take the opportunity to spit on him as a lesson.

"Heh, Zhuge Liang, you are indeed sharp-tongued; clearly, you verbally harassed my wife in public first, yet you claim I was the one picking fights?" Shang Wu stood up with a Cold Smile, his arm already slowly recovering.

Xu Que was slightly surprised; this Shang Wu truly had some foundation, to casually produce such an awesome Healing Pill.

But having said that, this time the other party actually had the right of it.

After all, ultimately, Situ Haitang was his betrothed wife since infancy, so speaking such words was indeed somewhat inappropriate!

"Alright, alright, let this Divine Venerable say a few fair words!" At this moment, Er Gou, who was only halfway through playing dead, jumped up from the ground again in a flash, ran out to act as a peacemaker, and declared righteously: "This matter absolutely has nothing to do with this Divine Venerable!"

"Get lost!" Xu Que slapped him back down with one palm, then looked at the crowd and spoke with utmost righteousness: "Let us end this matter here; I am Zhuge Liang, my wish is for world Harmony, goodbye everyone!"

Having said that, he grabbed Er Gou by the scruff of the neck and walked outward.

He indeed intended to let the matter drop; after all, he had already slightly taught Shang Wu a lesson, and there was no need to make every encounter a bloody fight, which would be too gruesome; even this King of Acting Cool needs to save face!

However, just as he took his first step forward, Shang Wu suddenly reached out to block his path!

"Hmph, Zhuge Liang, do you think you can just leave like that?" Shang Wu asked with a gloomy expression.

Xu Que found this amusing; usually, I am the one bullying others, and today when I finally try to be magnanimous, you actually dare to stop me?

Immediately, he sneered: "What now? Do you expect me to apologize?"

"Heh, apologize? You are thinking far too simply!" Shang Wu also sneered, his face filled with sinister cruelty, as he stated heavily: "I can accept an apology for the spitting incident, but just now you caused severe injury to my arm and wasted a precious Spirit Pill; this matter certainly cannot be resolved with a mere apology; General Zhuge, you choose yourself: either you break an arm, or let this dog break both its legs!"

"Oh ho, where did you get the courage to threaten me like this?"

Xu Que was immensely amused, yet killing intent blazed in his eyes!

Everyone present was also dumbfounded; no one expected Shang Wu to be so aggressive.

But everyone also knew in their hearts that Shang Wu's identity was extraordinary; he was the only son of the Danyang Sect leader and had an aunt married Overseas, giving him very powerful backing!

Yet this General Zhuge was no Goodness either; he was called the Great Demon King, and his methods were simply unimaginable.

If these two were to clash, how terrible would the consequences be?

Immediately, Lao Li rushed out, smiling bitterly: "Both Generals, do not act impulsively; we are all our own people!"

"Our own people my ass; how high is the style of my Blasting Heaven Gang? How could we associate with such a person? Look at how poorly his name is chosen: Shang Wu? Screw your sister! Why didn't you just name yourself Afternoon?" The rogue aura on Xu Que began to manifest, clearly showing he was starting to get angry!

In this Cultivation World, there is fundamentally no reasoning to be had; the world values strength, and if one insists on reasoning, it is merely children playing house, which is utterly ridiculous!

"Zhuge Liang, do you intend to make an enemy of me?" Shang Wu's face turned terrifyingly dark as he gritted his teeth and spoke coldly.

"Make an enemy? Do you even qualify to be my enemy?" Xu Que sneered, moved his Divine Sense, and a Xuanzhong Ruler suddenly appeared in his hand, radiating a powerful pressure that instantly swept in all directions!

Everyone present underwent a drastic change in expression!

"This... this is Infant Transformation Stage level four?" Only now did many people sense Xu Que's realm and strength, feeling utterly Shocked!

Damn it, it has only been a few months?

General Zhuge actually advanced from Nascent Soul Stage to Infant Transformation Stage, and moreover to Infant Transformation Stage level four; isn't this too terrifying?

"What is going on? Who is causing trouble?"

At this moment, a clear yet powerful voice suddenly came from outside the crowd.

Everyone in the arena was suddenly startled, turning their heads to look in shock, only to find that General Haitang had returned!

Xu Que also paused slightly, his gaze leaping over the crowd to land on Situ Haitang!

Although she was now Noble enough to be the City Lord, she still wore a golden armored battle robe, her long hair tied up, looking valiant and spirited, her figure still as curvaceous as ever!

"All of you, disperse!"

Situ Haitang spoke again, dispersing the crowding onlookers.

She also saw Xu Que, but seemingly already knowing he was here, she showed no surprise; however, upon seeing Shang Wu, her brows knitted tightly, her expression far from pleasant.

Upon hearing Situ Haitang's words, the crowding onlookers immediately scattered, and the Inn instantly became spacious and quiet.

At this moment, Shang Wu, who had been wearing a gloomy face, suddenly seemed like a different person; his face became amiable and polite as he looked at Situ Haitang and smiled: "Haitang, you are back?"

"Damn, kid, this guy is not simple! He has two faces, almost catching up to you!" Er Gou immediately widened his eyes in astonishment.

"How can you talk like that? I am such a Pure-hearted person; where would I get two faces?" Xu Que clamped his hand over Er Gou's dog mouth, stopping him from speaking.

Situ Haitang ignored Shang Wu's eagerness, looked faintly at Xu Que, remained silent for a moment, then spoke: "Zhuge Liang, come with me; I have something to say to you!"

"Ah! Just the two of us? Oh my, how embarrassing!" Xu Que looked at Shang Wu with a face full of smugness.

Shang Wu's entire face immediately turned dark again.

"Are you coming or not?" Situ Haitang asked in a bad temper, then turned and walked away on her own.

The smugness on Xu Que's face immediately vanished as he looked at Er Gou and Shang Wu: "Oh my, oh my, just look at this attitude; just because she says come, I come? I also need to save face, you know!"

Having said that, he immediately turned and chased after Situ Haitang, shouting loudly: "Haitang, don't walk so fast; how about we go strolling down the Street and watch a movie first? Why aren't you speaking? With you acting like this, it's hard for me to understand; could it be the legendary 'if you don't understand, just open a Room'?"

As the two gradually departed, Xu Que's shamelessly mocking voice slowly faded away.

The Inn returned to tranquility, leaving only Er Gouzi and Shang Wu, whose face was filled with shock and rage.

The man and the dog involuntarily exchanged a glance; the atmosphere grew somewhat eerie, and Er Gouzi took the initiative to speak: "General Shang!"

"What do you want?" Shang Wu shouted angrily. Had he not feared Er Gouzi's terrifying Flesh Body, he would have long since slaughtered the dog.

Er Gouzi, however, shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just have a question! Are you furious or not?"

"What?"

"Are you furious or not, are you furious or not? I'm just asking if you're furious or not?"
