King of Assassins
Chapter 1119 - 715: Celestial Spirit Thunder (2)
Ao Jiuni broke the silence and sighed deeply, "Why come to this?"
This was said both to Ao Ming and to Gao Xuan.
If either of these two took a step back, it wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Gao Xuan also nodded, "Why come to this?"
Ao Ming is truly insane, but if he wants to kill his own woman, Gao Xuan won’t stop him. After all, it’s his own business.
Gao Xuan and Ao Ming had nothing more to talk about, so he nodded to Ao Jiuni and said, "I’ll take my leave now."
"Wait—"
Seeing Gao Xuan about to leave with Ripples and Ice Soul, Ao Ming blocked his path.
He glared at Gao Xuan with malice, "You killed my Wuxia and made me lose face in public, and you think you can just walk away?"
Ripples felt a bit indignant; clearly, it was Ao Ming who killed her and wanted to blame it on the master. This guy is completely shameless. She just wanted to argue with Ao Ming.
Gao Xuan shook his head at Ripples, signaling her not to waste time. If Ao Ming were reasonable, he wouldn’t be doing such a thing.
He said to Ao Ming, "What does the Third Prince want?"
Ao Ming said, "I gave you a generous gift, you should reciprocate and give me a gift in return."
This remark was extremely domineering. The many guests present all relied on the Dragon Race for a living, so no one dared to stand up for fairness.
Ao Jiuni frowned slightly but said nothing. Although he had great power, he couldn’t control this Third Prince.
Offending him would make life even harder.
Ao Shibidi didn’t care about any of this; he only looked at the corpse of Yu Wuxia on the red carpet, lost in thought.
Gao Xuan, however, laughed, "Oh, your way of thinking is indeed interesting."
Ao Ming didn’t care about Gao Xuan’s sarcasm; he pointed at Ripples and Ice Soul, "Since my Wuxia is gone, using your two maids to compensate is very reasonable!"
Ripples’ face changed; she glared fiercely at Ao Ming. What nerve he has, to dare covet her and her sister! Truly unaware of the danger.
Ripples knew Gao Xuan would never give them away, but Ao Ming’s arrogance and rudeness infuriated her.
If Gao Xuan weren’t right next to her, Ripples would have drawn her sword to slay the dragon.
Ice Soul, on the other hand, remained calm and indifferent. She thought Ao Ming was just a delusional madman, why bother with such a person?
If real communication was needed, just draw the sword.
Gao Xuan laughed again, "Not only are you an interesting dragon, but you’re also very bold."
Gao Xuan didn’t want to engage in dialogue with Ao Ming; this guy’s twisted logic made reasoning with him as futile as playing a lute to a cow.
He said to Ao Jiuni, "Let me ask you, is this how your Dragon Race treats guests?"
Ao Jiuni looked embarrassed; he really felt humiliated.
Although the Dragon Race is overbearing to outsiders, they wouldn’t act so unreasonably. What Ao Ming did was truly embarrassing.
Ao Jiuni didn’t know how to explain, after all, Ao Ming is the host here. He was still under Ao Ming’s command, no matter what.
No matter how absurd Ao Ming was, he couldn’t make decisions on his behalf.
Gao Xuan understood immediately; Ao Jiuni was not in charge. He said to Ao Ming, "What if I disagree?"
"Hahahaha..."
Ao Ming laughed madly, "Disagree? Do you think you get to disagree?"
He pointed to the lights below the Celestial Gate Platform, "This is Celestial Dragon Island, this is my territory. Whatever I say goes. You have no right to disagree."
Gao Xuan chuckled, "Because of you?"
"Because of me!"
Ao Ming proclaimed with rampant arrogance, "Just because I’m the Third Prince of the East Sea, because the Dragon Race is full of powerful men. Not to mention on the Celestial Dragon Saber, but in the Eastern Province, in this Cyan Celestial Realm, who dares to defy me!"
Ao Ming pointed at Gao Xuan and said, "With just one word, I can have you killed, or have all of you dead!"
He added with a cold snort, "Don’t think just because you killed some useless dragons of the North Sea, you have the right to act presumptuously in front of our East Sea Dragon Race. You have no such qualification."
"Sigh..."
Gao Xuan sighed softly, "I originally had a heart of goodwill, but alas."
Gao Xuan really didn’t intend to stir up trouble here, much less interested in annihilating the East Sea Dragon Race.
The East Sea Dragon Race was overbearing, but they managed the waters of the Eastern Province in an orderly fashion.
To the cultivators of the major sects, the ruling East Sea Dragon Race was indeed terrifying, constantly oppressing them and extracting their resources.
But to the beings of the Eastern Province, the existence of the East Sea Dragon Race could be considered a good thing.
Whether it is good or bad depends on one’s standpoint, which in turn influences one’s judgment.
Gao Xuan had no intention to become the overlord of the Cyan Celestial Realm; although the East Sea Dragon Race was domineering, they managed things orderly. Though they were somewhat harsh to cultivators, it was still within reasonable bounds.
In summary, the East Sea Dragon Race could be regarded as cultivators. They’re different from demons and devils.
Demons and devils are hateful and deserving of death because they lack wisdom, only capable of destruction without any concept of order.
Demons and devils also regard the Human Race as food, making coexistence difficult.
Gao Xuan attended the East Sea Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly mainly to gain insight. As for other matters, they weren’t really important.
What he didn’t expect was the peculiar nature of Ao Ming from the East Sea Dragon Race.
It’s not fair to say Ao Ming is stupid, rather he’s never faced any real adversary. That’s why he’s become so unscrupulous.
Reportedly, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Dongcheng favored this Third Prince most.
Gao Xuan found it surprising that someone could be fond of someone like Ao Ming!
Since Ao Ming was so aggressive, Gao Xuan certainly wouldn’t hold back. His humility had its limits.
Gao Xuan asked Ao Ming, "I hear the East Sea Dragon King particularly favors you?"
"Of course, Father loves me the most."
Ao Ming boasted, "I can represent Father. Understand?"
Gao Xuan shook his head, "I heard that the East Sea Dragon King is wise and magnanimous; I’m finding that a bit hard to understand."
