Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 352 - 41: Two Sacred Places (Major Section)_5
Tang Xian gave Bai Mansheng all the audiobooks from his prop bag, saying,
"I’m planning to show you some reading materials that are more suitable for you. These stories are very simple; even if you can’t do as I mentioned, you’ll be able to understand them. But if you can achieve the expected level of reading comprehension, perhaps you’ll grasp the stories better."
Qing JiuYu was of no concern to Tang Xian, Qing JiuYu loved to read, especially those adapted versions.
It was possible to cultivate Bai Mansheng towards the direction of a literary young woman.
Listening to Tang Xian say all this, Bai Mansheng nodded, seeming to agree.
"The Japanese education critic and professor at Law and Politics University, Motohisa Nashiki, has researched and shown that people with poorer language grades are more likely to bully others. In the internet age of humanity, it specifically manifests as those with poorer reading comprehension are more prone to trolling and arguing. You should be an elegant girl."
"You’re making it sound like I’m a little girl. Let’s not talk about that, I will read these books. Did you come to see me for something else?"
"Can’t I simply come to see you?" Tang Xian asked with a smile.
"Is that so? I thought the court had taken Qing JiuYu away, and you came here to ask about it," Bai Mansheng casually mentioned.
Tang Xian was startled.
The topic had suddenly shifted, and to something he had not anticipated, which left Tang Xian unsure of how to respond for a moment.
"Qing JiuYu was taken away?"
Looking at his reaction, Bai Mansheng, puzzled, said,
"You don’t know? I thought you came after visiting Qing JiuYu."
Her words carried a hint of jealousy, which Tang Xian selectively ignored, saying,
"Of course, I don’t know."
He had no intention of telling Bai Mansheng that he had invited Qing JiuYu to the human world.
"You should have brought up this topic when I appeared," Tang Xian said.
"Why should I talk about her? Qing JiuYu and I have a mortal feud. Though the court has mediated a ceasefire, I haven’t forgotten the grudge of her killing my clansmen," Bai Mansheng said.
"Then I request you, tell me what happened."
It had only been a few days since Tang Xian’s departure when Qing JiuYu was still in Baichuan City, and now he was suddenly hearing about her being taken away by the Myriad Beasts Court.
Since Bai Mansheng was currently extremely forthcoming, Tang Xian also believed Bai Mansheng wouldn’t joke about such a matter.
Bai Mansheng said,
"Requesting me? You really care about her."
"If it were you taken away by the court, I would have requested her too, if she were the only one who knew what happened."
Listened to Tang Xian’s words, Bai Mansheng’s expression softened a bit.
"I don’t know the details, but it seems they are investigating the cause of the Shiling Beast’s death. There are rumors of a powerful masked creature that killed one of the court’s Judgment Chiefs, the Shiling Beast.
Somehow, the investigation led to the Fox Clan. Someone saw a dragon flying to the Crimson Wastelands with the Shiling Beast in its mouth.
Then Qing JiuYu was taken away."
Tang Xian was stunned, sensing an extremely bad feeling within.
"Qing JiuYu is also a powerful orange-ranked creature. She was simply taken away by them?"
Bai Mansheng said,
"I’m not familiar with the court, but the elders of my Snake Clan have said that although the court doesn’t interfere with our daily lives, we must abide by the court’s rules.
The strength of the Judgment Chiefs is not weaker than Qing JiuYu’s. Although she is one of the strongest creatures in the continent, she definitely wouldn’t be able to defeat two Judgment Chiefs.
At least there were two who came for her."
As Bai Mansheng talked about Qing JiuYu being taken away, she seemed to think of something and asked,
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"A little bit."
"Hmm?"
"Because it’s Qing JiuYu they caught, so it’s related to me."
"Huh," Bai Mansheng was left speechless.
"I don’t have many friends in the mining area, aside from that insidious dragon behind me, there’s only you and Qing JiuYu. If you two are in trouble, I will help," Tang Xian said with conviction.
Bai Man looked into Tang Xian’s eyes for a long time, then nodded and said,
"I’ll tell you everything I know."

Tang Xian asked,
"Which direction did the court leave in? Do you know the location of the Myriad Beasts Court?"
He had realized the gravity of the situation.
In the Myriad Beasts Realm, there was too much he didn’t know. Even if he was the most knowledgeable among humans, he couldn’t afford to be arrogant when compared to the court.
It was also uncertain whether there were any psychic attack methods that could make people unwittingly speak the truth.
The secrets of Baichuan City, his own secrets—they could not be revealed to the court.
Bai Mansheng said,
"To the northwest, supposedly in the sacred land."
"Sacred land?"
"I’m actually not sure, this might just be a rumor. Legend has it that within the sacred ground, there is a deep pit that goes straight to the heart of the earth.
And one of the bases of the Myriad Beasts Court is right above that deep pit."
Tang Xian then asked,
"What species are the two Judgment Chiefs?"
"Ash Dragons. It’s my first time seeing them, dragons with red scales all over their bodies. Another one is the Plague Origin. Even though he is wrapped in a black robe, I could feel that his strength far surpassed mine. Especially that nauseating aura, I could not mistake it."
Tang Xian frowned.
The sacred land was a place he had never heard of; he only knew of a stronghold called the Sacred Fortress.
The two were unlikely to be connected.
Ash Dragons could be said to be the ultimate form among fire-attribute creatures. The power of their dragon flames is nearly on par with that of fox-fire. But what’s most terrifying is that flames cannot harm Ash Dragons.
Rather, they can use fire to repair their bodies.
Ash Dragons can be said to perfectly counter Qing JiuYu. Their destructive powers are nearly equal, yet Qing JiuYu would definitely not be able to defeat an Ash Dragon.
Ash Dragons are the legendary creatures of Magic Dragon Valley, also members of the Dragon Clan.
Humanity had not confirmed their existence until now, and Tang Xian had finally verified it. Stay tuned with novelbuddy
Within Magic Dragon Valley, there truly were magic dragons.
Tang Xian glanced at Tang Feiji, aware that the destructive ability of an Ash Dragon was too strong for him to contend against; he could only rely on Tang Feiji.
The other Judgment Chief was also an exceedingly rare existence.
Plague Origin.
A beast resembling a wild boar, its body harboring endless viruses and plagues.
No creature could touch it with their body.
It always hid itself under a wide robe, but even so, staying close to it for too long would make one’s body wither like a dying flower, gradually starting to necrotize.
Tang Xian began to take stock of his fighting power.
Suddenly realizing, apart from Tang Feiji, he had none he could use.
Furthermore, the opponent was also from the Dragon Clan. Would this sea dragon be willing to fight that fire dragon?
"Tang Feiji, Ash Dragons are also part of the Dragon Clan. If you find it difficult, you don’t have to follow me this time," he said.
Tang Feiji and Yuan Wu had been on the sidelines the whole time. But he understood what had happened.
"Ash Dragons also dare to call themselves dragons? That’s just a lizard that can spew fire. I am the strongest and unparalleled dragon in the world."
"Should I take that as a declaration of war?"
"I’m going to eat it," boasted Tang Feiji, slapping his chest.
"Good," Tang Xian said, feeling a bit more reassured now.
Bai Mansheng spoke,
"I can’t help you, Tang Xian, I’m sorry."
Tang Xian nodded and responded,
"No matter, I can understand your predicament."
To directly confront the court, they could only rely on the beast tribes from the Eden forces.
Tang Xian thought that after rescuing Qing JiuYu, it was probably time to visit the legendary ruins of Eden.
The fact that Qing JiuYu had been taken away naturally had to be dealt with as soon as possible. Tang Xian prepared to take his leave when Bai Mansheng said,
"I actually don’t like the way those people from the Myriad Beasts Court talk. Tang Xian, not for Qing JiuYu’s sake, but for yours, if you need me, I’ll help you in a personal capacity."
Tang Xian did not know the resolve contained in those words, but he felt Bai Mansheng’s sincerity.
He shook his head and said,
"If I need help, I won’t hesitate to ask. But this time, I intend to rely on myself."
...
...
After leaving Tianque Plains, Tang Xian originally planned to take Yuan Wu back to Baichuan City first, but Yuan Wu refused to leave.
As the giant dragon soared through the sky, with the howling wind around them, Tang Xian said to Yuan Wu,
"Do you know how powerful the enemy I’m facing is?"
"I don’t... please don’t tell me... I’d be very frightened," Yuan Wu said, and for a moment, Tang Xian didn’t know what to say.
Was this ostrich-like utterance the bravest thing a coward could say?
Seeing the frightened look on Yuan Wu’s face, Tang Xian turned his head, crouched down to avoid the wind pressure, and laughed,
"There’s nothing much to be afraid of; it’s just committing crimes against one’s own knowledge of the law."
The battle with the Myriad Beasts Court came sooner than Tang Xian had anticipated.
He rode the giant dragon towards the place known as the sacred land.
At the same time, Song Que was also heading to a fortress known as the Sacred Fortress.
