Chapter 756: Chapter 9 Way of Politeness [2 in 1]_1

"Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you."

With Lin Bei’s greeting, a figure emerged from the depths of the cave, where countless stars flickered. The figure was shrouded in a faint halo that looked like a phantom.

The person was wearing a long gown of blue and white, with a delicate face and kind features. He appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, sporting a warm smile on his face. As soon as he emerged, he bowed repeatedly to Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang, with a degree of obsequiousness.

"Who is this...?" Chu Liang looked at the old man perplexed.

Logically, the only living being in this cave should be that "terrifying being" that had been suppressed for nearly two thousand years, whom Lady Hong Yu referred to as Elder Mayfly, the ancient demon.

But the old man before their eyes... Every wrinkle on his face was overflowing with manners.

Call this as a terrifying being?

Xu Ziyang recalled Lady Hong Yu’s previous words and tentatively asked, "Elder Mayfly?"

"Don’t call me that, don’t call me that." The old man quickly waved his hands with a grin, respectfully saying, "Those were my ignorant years, and I’ve stirred up some unpleasant names. Now you can just call me little Mayfly or Master."

"This..." Chu Liang was speechless for the moment, somewhat unclear on the old man’s intentions. Is he seeking something from them?

Just then, another thunderous roar echoed from outside, followed by another purple-gold thunderbolt! The three of Chu Liang changed their colors as Divine Thunder struck indiscriminately, and even this underground cavity was not spared.

Elder Mayfly let out a soft yell and waved his sleeve.

Whoosh—

The countless twinkling stars behind him gathered into a mass, carrying the rising red fog from the underground, and immediately blocked the cave entrance.

"Hehe." Elder Mayfly once again smiled obsequiously, "Although my cultivation is not enough to stop the Divine Thunder for a long time, I can still protect this cavity. You can rest assured."

"Thank you..." Chu Liang slightly nodded his head, only at this moment dared to confirm that the person before him was undoubtedly the legendary Elder Mayfly. Others could be deceptive, but one’s strength was absolutely real.

He looked at Lin Bei, with a questioning look. Even though he arrived only moments before him, he seemed to have already acclimated to the environment.

"Hi, hi, hi!" Lin Bei laughed, "You don’t need to be so formal here. Master is a good person, we can get along."

"Yes, yes." Elder Mayfly nodded in agreement, "Once you’re here, you’re a guest. If you have any requests, feel free to put them forward. Fulfilling any that I can, I surely will."

Our requests?

Chu Liang looked at him, not seeming to be in need of anything, so he politely smiled, "You are our senior after all, there’s no need to be so courteous."

"I dare not claim to be a senior, I’m just a poor bug stuck under this cave." Elder Mayfly shook his head and laughed, "What you don’t know is, I have been sealed here alone for two thousand years."

He continued his narration, "At the time of my initial seal, I was filled with anger. I vowed in my heart that if anyone entered this place, I would surely torment and devour them! But no living creature entered..."

"But after enduring one thousand years of loneliness and helplessness, I started my own redemption. I could only hope... if any creature entered, be they from the Human Clan or the Demonic Clan, as long as they are sentient and can speak... I would become their brother and help them fulfil their desires. But still, no living creature entered..."

"Now, after two thousand years, my mentality has changed again." He paused for a moment, then said, "Now, no matter what kind of living being enters, they are all my father."

Wow, every visitor is considered the father.

That’s quite some hospitality.

Could it be that the Way this old man presides over is the Way of Politeness?

"Master, you don’t have to do this, we can just be brothers." Lin Bei waved his hand, "All this talk about father and such, is just too courteous."

"Right, right." Elder Mayfly chuckled again, "If not, then let’s each keep to our own."

...

Without exaggeration, Elder Mayfly is definitely the most polite demon Chu Liang has ever seen in his life. He is quite a dazzling figure amongst the great powers of the Seventh and Eighth Realm. His excellent service attitude could probably only be matched by the employees of Red Moon Square.

"My original form is a small insect called Mayfly from the ancient times."

The old man, his bottom perched on the edge of a stone, was explaining his story in a very humble manner.

Chu Liang was somewhat curious about his origins.

The so-called "Mayfly" is actually a type of flying insect with a very short lifespan, dropping into the sea, they are generally non-spiritual aquatic creatures that serve as food for shrimp.

A tiny creature, whose lifespan does not exceed a day, finds it almost impossible to acquire spirituality, let alone gain enlightenment. For Elder Mayfly to cultivate to the level of controlling Tianyuan, he must have had a rough journey.

"The life of a Mayfly is no more than a day, and it shouldn’t even possess any intelligence." Elder Mayfly slowly said, "Thanks to the God Mother of the Southern Sea, who once cultivated in the Ruins, I, who had been under the God Mother’s seat, was immersed in her godly spirituality day and night, and was lucky to not only have a long life but also awaken my spirituality."

Wow.

No wonder this old man is called an ancient demon. He has existed since the era of the Southern Sea God Mother. That was quite a long time.

"After the God Mother fell, I drifted elsewhere and practiced in intervals for thousands of years." Elder Mayfly continued, "I presume you can imagine that practicing with the body of a Mayfly has many difficulties. It took me several thousands of years to finally reach the realm of controlling Tianyuan."
