Chapter 320 - 320 64 Accompanying the Bear Emperor

Chapter 320: Chapter 64 Accompanying the Bear Emperor Chapter 320: Chapter 64 Accompanying the Bear Emperor Sky Stealer gasped in shock.

This…

What the gentleman said was so accurate!

Did he predict the movement of the Demon Emperor in advance!?

This is simply, simply too impressive.

On the other hand, when the Demon Emperor arrived, Sky Stealer wasn’t nervous at all, he didn’t even pay much attention.

The Demon Emperor, what’s the big deal?

The one I am following now is an immortal!

So, Sky Stealer remained calm with confidence. He stood straight and proudly looked at the dark clouds in the sky.

Bring it on! Let the storm come even more fiercely. This god wants to see if you, the Demon Emperor, dares to attack an immortal?

I have never seen a Demon Emperor being brutally beaten. I really want to broaden my horizons!

But Feng Yin on the side did not appear as relaxed as Sky Stealer.

The reason was simple. Feng the Great Trickster was merely a trickster. He… he was no immortal!

Let alone facing the Demon Emperor, even against Sky Stealer, he would be slapped into pieces instantly, and he wouldn’t even have a chance to escape!

What a situation he got himself into!

What’s the meaning of being caught in one’s words?!

His pretentious words effectively brainwashed Sky Stealer into deeper belief, but it also unleashed his ability of bringing bad luck.

Did he really manage to summon the Demon Emperor!?

At this moment, Feng Yin wished he could turn back time and sew his mouth shut.

Why on earth did he behave like a jerk? Sky Stealer was already completely convinced by him, he even prostrated himself in worship. Why did he have to keep exaggerating? Pouring oil on the flames…

Now what?

When trying one’s luck, the worst might just happen. A careless word summoned an actual Demon Emperor!

At this moment, Feng Yin was so regretful, he felt like his intestines were green.

He was even reminded of Cao Cao’s predicament at Huarong Road.

“Hahaha… I laugh at Zhou Yu’s lack of strategy, I laugh at Zhuge’s lack of wisdom. If an actual Demon Emperor was lying in ambush in this area, wouldn’t we be just like lambs waiting to be slaughtered?!”

Feng Yin sighed, feeling more and more that he was extremely unlucky, like having dark clouds hanging over his head.

Well, literally there were thick black clouds gathered above.

And in the next moment… the black clouds suddenly dispersed.

A broad-shouldered middle-aged man appeared before the two of them.

One could see that this man was extremely tall and muscular. He appeared to be at least 2.7 meters tall, weighing at least 400 kg. His long legs were like strong pillars supporting his body into the sky.

Combined with his facial hair, leopard-like eyes and beard like steel needles, he was an impressive figure.

Feng Yin could not help but think of a phrase often described in novels: “Standing nearly four meters tall with a broad waist.”

Previously, he did not understand it, but now he did, because he had a reference.

This man could be referred to as a ‘giant person,’ where one’s fist is as big as a person and one’s arm can support a running horse!

“The two of you! I, the ruler of Mount Siji, Bear Overlord, pay my respects!”

The Demon Emperor, this man with fists as big as watermelons, made a fist salute.

Bear Overlord!?

Feng Yin instantly had an epiphany.

This must be a Bear Emperor, right?

There couldn’t be a more suitable name than this one.

“So it’s the Bear Emperor himself, my apologies for my lack of manners.” Feng Yin smiled mildly, maintaining his image of a great expert.

Now, he could only keep up the act until the end. What was that saying again, ‘Stay committed to your act, hold on till the end or die trying!’

With the enemy at the gates and danger imminent, he had already deceived Sky Stealer, why not try to deceive Bear Overlord too?

Bear Overlord’s eyes widened in surprise, an unexpected expression appeared on his face.

Among the monster races, those who have achieved a certain level of cultivation will choose to transform into a human form, or at least a humanoid form because it aids their progress – this fact is uncontested.

However, even the Greater Demons who have lived for many years fall far behind humans in managing their expressions. This is universally acknowledged among the monster races. Humans are naturally adept at manipulating their facial expressions. As long as one has a rudimentary brain, they can effortlessly control their expressions. But the demon races do not put in as much effort into this aspect, except for some who are gifted or belong to the higher ranks. For example, the Bear Emperor in front of them, while boasting of immense power and a long human lifespan, demonstrating the dignity of an emperor, he was still lacking in controlling his minute facial expressions.

When he initially started to speak, he was looking at Sky Stealer because he could clearly see that,

Of the two people in front of him, the slightly older one had good cultivation skills.

But the young one, who looked as soft as a baby’s skin was just a weakling. The kind of weakling who would drop dead at the slightest blow.

Therefore, the leader had to be the one who was skinnier than a monkey king. The stronger the individual, the more respected they are. This rule holds true everywhere!

To his surprise, the younger one responded and the older one did not show signs of dissent. How could Bear Overlord not be surprised?

“Hmm, you are both traveling in a hurry across my territory of Mount Siji. May I ask where you are headed?” The Bear Emperor, Bear Overlord, asked.

“We both are on our way to Chu Country.”

Feng Yin said, “Does Bear Emperor have any advice or guidance for us two since you’ve stopped us?”

“Chu Country… Chu Country is good.”

Bear Emperor gave a hearty laugh, but with an undeniable hint of awkwardness for having nothing much to say.

“…”

What’s so great about Chu Country? What’s good about it?

Feng Yin couldn’t help but want to roll his eyes.

This bear, although highly cultivated and powerful, seems to have a very limited amount of intelligence!

But having learned through experience, Feng Yin dared not act rashly. The timing was not right for deception. Acting arrogant and aloof also required the right time, place, people, and situation!

“I have an unreasonable request.” said Bear Overlord.

Despite saying it was an ‘unreasonable request’, his demeanor was filled with certainty and an air of unquestionability. It was obvious that he was saying: My unreasonable request, whether you agree or not, you have to agree.

Feng Yin: “What kind of unreasonable request? Your Majesty, feel free to speak.”

“I wish to travel with you two, what do you think?” the Bear Emperor said eagerly.

“Oh? Hmm?”

Both Feng and Yin were surprised by this unexpected request.

Sky Stealer, a well-seasoned adventurer, was completely confused. You… want to travel with us? Meaning you want us to guide you, what’s the catch?

As for Feng Yin, who was a well-read novelist, he immediately started formulating conspiracy theories. You want us to guide you along, until when? Where are we going? What manipulative plan or scheme awaits us? Are we to serve as shields, cannon fodder, or potential time-bomb carriers in some way? Unavoidable, isn’t it?

“Your Majesty wants to travel with us, we would consider it an honour. However, this place is just a stone throw away from Chu Country. Won’t it be wasting your time if you travel with us? With your cultivation level, wouldn’t it take you just a moment to go back and forth?” Feng Yin asked.

Sky Stealer admired him inside.

An immortal is indeed an immortal.

He sees right through the issue at hand.

Exactly, herein lies the biggest problem: If you want to go, just go. Why do you need to follow us?

Bear Overlord hesitated for a moment and said: “To be honest, ever since I came to Mount Siji Domain, I… Well, due to various reasons, I am unable to leave the mountain by myself unless someone leads me out…”

A blush rose on Bear Overlord’s fluffy face as he appeared to be reluctant to speak, looking quite embarrassed.

“Oh? Could your Majesty be more clear? I didn’t quite understand what you said.” Feng Yin was still confused, despite his exceptional intelligence.

Bear Overlord, blushing with shame, angrily exclaimed: “In short, I’ve been tricked into a trap…”

Feng Yin, Sky Stealer: “…”

Both of their eyes widened in surprise.

Once we heard it, we knew you’d been taken for a ride. But what we’re more concerned about, is how you were tricked?

However, Bear Overlord didn’t want to talk about it.

This humbling experience isn’t something I’m willing to talk about again and again. What if you go out and broadcast it all over the world? Would everyone knows I’m stupid?

Do you think I look like the kind who digs his own grave?

“In any case, I just want to step out with you guys. Just say whether you will or won’t, agree or disagree?”

Bear Overlord suddenly changed his tune, his impatient character displayed plainly. “If you agree, we get on the road. If not, both of you can accompany me to the mountain for a few days to help alleviate my boredom.”

Feng Yin and Sky Stealer looked at each other.

You… Is this the way you ask for help?

This is purely a threat, isn’t it?

But the situation is stronger than the human, so we can’t disagree, dare not disagree. Not to mention Feng Yin had no time, even if he had the time, accompany to the mountain for a few days? Are you going to play with us on the mountain, play a few days and then we get killed? Is that how you plan to alleviate your boredom?

Feng Yin said: “We need to know why, right? If there’s anything we need to cooperate with, please tell us in advance!”

Bear Overlord glared: “Annoying! Why are there so many irrelevant inquiries? Just tell me if you want to go or not?”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Feng Yin rolled his eyes and without saying another word, continued on the road.

Sky Stealer was feeling even more peculiar.

He deeply felt that people are indeed different. He was chased and killed on a large scale by the demons in the mountains; fairy-like people walk in the mountains, and Bear Overlord voluntarily asked to accompany them!

Is there any security problem that can be farted?

Having such a top-notch bodyguard from the entire continent by your side, who dares to act rashly?

Who else can?

Even if someone like the Purple Emperor came, he would have to retreat three sheds, right?

Is this…a matter of life style?

Three people…no, two people and a bear…no! Two people, a bear and a cat…were walking quickly through the forest.

The journey was indeed quiet, not even a rabbit was encountered.

Everyone was walking fast, and in a short time, they had left Four Seasons Peak far behind, and they were about to leave the bounds of Mount Siji.

However, no one said a word throughout the journey, and everyone kept their heads down and walked.

Feng Yin didn’t want to speak, Sky Stealer was too self-conscious to speak, and as for Feng Ying… Feng Ying simply couldn’t speak.

Of course, the whole journey was just silently hurrying along.

Finally…

Bear Overlord couldn’t keep quiet any longer. He felt that just walking along in silence, he was no different from a fool.

Another deeper feeling was: these two men are playing him for a fool!

This feeling made Bear Overlord especially angry.
