Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Little cat, little dog, little sheep..._1

Alas, since all three brothers had gone up, he couldn’t just stand by and watch. With a loud roar, he followed them into the fray.

As a result, the Bull Demon King burst into laughter, saying, "Well met!"

The Bull Demon King spread his fingers wide, his hand growing infinitely large, and to the horror of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, they transformed into their dragon forms, but even then, they were no match for the size of that palm!

The Bull Demon King caught all Four Seas Dragon Kings in his grasp and forcefully slammed them into the ground!

Bang!

The four Dragon Kings were directly smashed into the earth...

The Bull Demon King, laughing heartily, charged into the midst of the smoke, and from within, an incessant wail of screams could be heard...

A few minutes later, the Bull Demon King flew out and dusted off his hands, saying, "Next time, brighten up your tactics, or I’ll smash your Dragon Palace!"

Having said that, the Bull Demon King waved his hand, the demon cloud rolled away, and the demon soldiers dispersed.

The dust below settled, and the Water Clan army all looked down with bowed heads to see that the four Dragon Kings looked just like those long balloons sold at street corners. They had been twisted into the shapes of little sheep, little doggies, little cats, and little carp... The crucial point was that each of them was missing a segment of their dragon horns. Ignoring the horns, they looked adorable, but the horns made for a ghastly sight...

Nobody dared to speak another word as they exchanged glances...

On that day, a decree in the Water Clan: the day’s events were not to be spoken of to the outside world, on pain of death...

The Four Seas Dragon Kings even claimed they were indisposed and unfit for receiving guests, deciding to not leave their homes.

At the same time, this day was marked by the Four Seas Dragon Kings as an unlucky day, resolutely avoiding going out from then on. Also blacklisted were the moon, rabbits, and oxen...

"Your Majesty, what’s for dinner tonight?"

"Rabbit! Beef! I want ox tendon!" a furious roar came from the Dragon King’s chamber.

Just then, a breeze blew, the Dragon King shuddered, and quickly added, "Forget it, those are too heaty, let’s have porridge..."

"..."

Meanwhile, on the moon.

Qin Shou shook his head and slapped his face, shouting, "Who hit me?!"

Then, looking around, he only saw a man wielding an axe chopping at the osmanthus tree.

Qin Shou scratched his head and said, "Gang, where’s the Four Seas spicy crawfish? Where’s Niu Dali?"

Wu Gang laid down his axe and said, "Those guys left. Niu Dali has gone home. He left a letter for you, have a look for yourself."

Qin Shou saw indeed there was a letter beside him. Upon opening it, Qin Shou fell silent.

It was a letter of farewell.

"Dear Elder Brother,

Your brother, Niu Dali, realized today that there are many areas in which I am lacking. Just as I told you, life in the Immortal Realm is peaceful, and times are good. But in the end, I am an ox spirit from the Lower Realm, and I will have to return eventually.

My father is a fool: all muscle and no brains, physically strong, but he’s never been well-educated and understands little, resolving everything with his fists.

But even he dreams of learning to read and becoming a cultured person. Unfortunately, that brain of his has long forsaken any hope with books.

Thus, finding studying too strenuous, he insisted that we siblings do the reading instead. To change our family’s bloodline a bit, add some scholarly air, and bring some glory to our Barbarian Bull Clan.

Among our clan’s three thousand six hundred siblings, there’s little affection between us, and most are dimwitted brutes with muscles but no brains.

It seems I’m an anomaly, naturally endowed with extraordinary memory, learning anything quickly.

That’s why my father dreamed of having me become the only cultured person in our clan. The first half of my life was pretty much spent in reading and writing, traveling to various places to take exams. Hard work pays off, and I was admitted to the upper division, the inner courtyard, of Wenqu Palace.

For this, my father threw a grand feast for forty-nine days straight and drank for forty-nine days as well. So drunk was he, he almost offered me up, burned me, and made an offering to heaven with me.

I originally thought I would always listen to him, follow his arrangements, and be a scholar...or perhaps just stay in the Heavenly Court, enjoying this peaceful place between heaven and earth.

But then I realized that even in the Heavenly Court, there were wars...

I think my father’s idea was foolish, wrong!

Our Barbarian Bull Clan’s glory today is not due to brains, but strength!

The Earthly Immortal Realm has no rules, the only rule is the survival of the fittest, what’s mine is mine alone, and the world is my couch!

No matter your thousands of strategies, I can shatter them all with a single punch!

My father didn’t understand, but I did. So, I think what I need isn’t reading and writing, being learned and reasonable, winning some meaningless glory for my ancestors.

Instead, I should pursue ultimate power!

I thought I was good enough, but two consecutive defeats taught me that there’s always someone better out there. So, I decided to leave Wenqu Palace, to traverse endless rivers and mountains, to seek immortality and ask about the Dao; not to live forever, but to be invincible!

When I become invincible one day, I will help my elder brother conquer the Three Realms!"

And finally, there was one more line: "My brother respected me, the happiness he gave me was pure and unadulterated. I’m glad to know you, brother...

Your brother, Niu Dali."

After reading the letter, Qin Shou felt a pang in his heart and cursed, "Damn, is that all the ambition I have? Conquer the Three Realms... Hmm... I’ll think about it."

Wu Gang said, "Your brother is a good person, just a bit stubborn."

Thinking about Niu Dali’s character, Qin Shou remembered: At a single word from his father, he had charged into Wenqu Palace amid a thousand troops; at one word from Wenqu, he had challenged the three Big Fools; and at a casual promise, he had acknowledged someone as his elder brother... It seemed this guy really was as stubborn as a bull.

Qin Shou carefully folded the letter and placed it into the Black Demon Box, then rolled his eyes and said, "Don’t speak ill of my brother."

"Ow, your brother? Haha... Honestly, I wouldn’t have expected you, a dumb rabbit with neither character nor strength, to have a good brother. Tsk tsk... Rabbit, how about we prepare some good food and drinks tonight to celebrate?" Wu Gang said.

Qin Shou, with a flick of his head, replied, "Not in the mood, I’m going vegetarian tonight!"

"It’s when you’re feeling bad that you should have a drink!" Wu Gang shouted. "How about I join you for a couple of cups?"

Without turning his head, Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Drinking with you is not only no fun, but it also hurts like hell..."

With a wave of his hand, the Rabbit left.

Wu Gang, smiling, watched the Rabbit’s retreating figure and reminded him, "Rabbit, avoid getting involved when others are fighting from now on!"

"Laughing at my lack of strength, huh? Just wait, I’ll rise to power soon enough. You’d better think about what magic you’re going to teach me tomorrow! No more lessons today, I’m going to sleep!" Qin Shou shouted, walking off into the distance.

Leaving Wu Gang behind, Qin Shou did feel a bit stifled.

In this world, Qin Shou only considered Chang’e as his kin, Wu Gang a friend despite their age difference, and Black Dog Xiaotian a friend... but he had never called anyone a brother. He always believed that brotherhood wasn’t something you could just decide on a whim after a few words in agreement. It required the settling of time. Brotherhood was not just about feelings, but also about responsibility...

What Qin Shou didn’t expect was that this silly Bull would so domineeringly, unreasonably, almost annoyingly, and totally unexpectedly, acknowledge him as a brother.

And the surprising thing was, Qin Shou wasn’t against it!

Then, just as this bastard had stirred emotions in him that made him want to cry, he left, making Qin Shou feel all out of sorts.
