Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1564: Thick-Skinned
"Shi Hao!" The Dark Thunder Immortal King raised his voice, "You clearly agreed just now! Even as an Immortal King, are you not going to keep your word?"
"Oh, Brother Dark Thunder, you’re so strange," Shi Hao laughed, "I did agree, but what I agreed to was returning the resources in the future! Lend and repay, borrow again with ease, isn’t that the logic?"
The Dark Thunder Immortal King was furious: "Shi Hao, you’re going too far!"
"Sigh, Brother Dark Thunder, you have too much temper. I will take my leave now and talk later," Shi Hao turned to leave.
"You dare to leave without handing over Feng Hai?" A figure flashed as Zhu Fang appeared with a cold expression on his face.
Shi Hao laughed: "You think you can stop me if I want to leave?"
Zhu Fang was at a loss. He had fought with Shi Hao before, and although his instantaneous movement didn’t cover as much space as his, the interval between Shi Hao’s moves was so short that even he, a Nine Stars Immortal King, could only watch helplessly.
So all he could do was talk tough.
To counter Shi Hao’s instantaneous movement, at least dozens of Immortal Kings would have to be deployed!
This would nearly require mobilizing all the Immortal Kings of the Flying Stars lineage.
To deal with a quasi-Immortal King, such a huge commotion?
Zhu Fang believed it was necessary.
Otherwise, if Shi Hao really reached the Immortal King stage, it would be too troublesome.
"I won’t waste words with you, hand over Feng Hai!" He said coldly.
Shi Hao laughed heartily: "Alright, here’s a hint, your son is suppressed somewhere beneath a latrine. That’s it, I’m off."
"Don’t run!" Zhu Fang tried to stop him, but how could he block Shi Hao’s instantaneous movement?
Whoosh, Shi Hao was gone.
Zhu Fang was trembling all over; his son was suppressed beneath a latrine?
How disgusting!
The Dark Thunder Immortal King shuddered too. Could he want such an odorous son-in-law?
If word got out, it would be an eternal disgrace.
"Latrine son-in-law"?
This title would follow Zhu Fenghai for a lifetime!
Did the Dark Thunder Immortal King not care about his reputation?
He secretly resolved, if Zhu Fenghai was really found in a latrine and it became widely known, he would call off the engagement no matter what.
Can’t afford this at all!
...
Shi Hao decisively left the Dark Thunder Immortal Domain.
You see, he was still quite responsible.
He had been friends with Zhuo Yan after all, so he intervened.
——He crashed the wedding on the day and disrupted it, but contrary to what most would think, he took the groom instead of the bride!
If he had taken Zhuo Yan, he would have been in big trouble.
——Su Manman and the others would certainly not let him off.
A harmonious family leads to prosperity, you see.
Next stop, Shi Hao chose the neighboring Blue Lake Immortal Domain.
Upon entering this domain, Shi Hao headed straight for the Summit of the Stars.
"I, Shi Hao, have come to visit the Lanhu Immortal King," Shi Hao shouted.
Instantly, the Summit of the Stars buzzed with commotion.
Who doesn’t know the name Shi Hao by now?
For one, he’s amazing with incredible combat power, and secondly, his bad reputation, having disrupted a wedding publicly, and stealing the groom, who was part of an Immortal Venerable and Immortal King’s family, and he’s a man!
Rumors about Shi Hao have reached a fever pitch, including tales that he likes men, even weaving heroic tales between him and Zhu Fenghai.
So, his appearance naturally made everyone at the Summit of the Stars nervous.
Could it be that Shi Hao’s here to kidnap someone again?
"Daoist Shi, what brings you here?" Lanhu Immortal King appeared and asked Shi Hao.
Just a few days ago, he had attended the wedding of the Dark Thunder lineage and personally witnessed how Shi Hao left leisurely under the watch of a Nine Stars Immortal King. So, faced with such a presence, he dared not underestimate him.
However, he was stronger than the Dark Thunder Immortal King, being a Four Stars Immortal King, and with an Immortal King Artifact, his combat power soared to Six Stars, comfortably surpassing Shi Hao.
At the Immortal King level, every star’s difference in combat power is vastly distinct.
So, while wary, he held a psychological advantage.
Shi Hao smiled slightly: "I wish to borrow some resources from Brother Lanhu."
Here we go again.
The Lanhu Immortal King shook his head: "I have many under my command and just that bit of resources, barely enough for ourselves, so there’s no way to lend them to Daoist Shi. However, since Daoist Shi has come and asked, I will naturally offer a token gesture as a courtesy."
Shi Hao smiled slightly: "Alright."
As expected, the Lanhu Immortal King made a token gesture, giving Shi Hao some cultivation resources, though they were paltry.
Shi Hao took them and turned to leave.
The Lanhu Immortal King was somewhat amazed. Shi Hao wasn’t afraid of even a Nine Stars Immortal King, yet was this easy to appease now?
Unbelievable!
However, he clearly rejoiced too soon.
The next day.
"Brother Lanhu, I, Shi Hao, have come to visit again." Shi Hao’s voice rang out once more.
Lanhu Immortal King couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. You visited yesterday, and now you’re here again today?
"Daoist Shi, you were here just yesterday!" He appeared and said coldly.
Shi Hao was surprised: "I was here yesterday? Oh, I don’t recall such a thing!"
You’re actually pretending?
We are all Immortal Kings; is this good for you to act this way?
Yet Shi Hao was incredibly shameless, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
If it were another Immortal King, they wouldn’t dare do such a shameless thing, but Shi Hao didn’t mind at all.
He wasn’t even an Immortal King, just a quasi-Immortal King.
"Daoist Shi, if you persist, then war is inevitable." Lanhu Immortal King struck, attacking Shi Hao.
But Shi Hao didn’t engage, choosing instead to leave immediately.
"Brother Lanhu, I only wanted to borrow some resources, why the need for conflict? If so, I’ll just leave."
However, another day later.
"Is Brother Lanhu home? I, Shi Hao, have come to visit again."
Lanhu Immortal King: "..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Time after time, as long as the Lanhu Immortal King acted, Shi Hao would leave immediately, showing no intent of fighting, and with his instantaneous movement speed, the Lanhu Immortal King couldn’t stop him at all, and each day, Shi Hao would come as expected, making the entire Summit of the Stars feel like enemies on all sides, the atmosphere incredibly tense.
Regardless of anything, Shi Hao possessed Immortal King-level combat power, and the Lanhu Immortal King couldn’t do anything to him.
Just ask, when such a presence targets someone, who’s not afraid?
After over a dozen days, even the Lanhu Immortal King couldn’t hold on.
Shi Hao was too stubborn, visiting every day, making him incredibly vexed.
"Fine, fine, I’ll lend you resources, alright?" The Lanhu Immortal King finally conceded.
"Thank you, Brother Lanhu!" Shi Hao gave a thumbs up, "Brother Lanhu truly sees the bigger picture; when I conquer the Asura Realm, Brother Lanhu will definitely have played a significant role."
Hehe, the Lanhu Immortal King could only manage a bitter smile.
