You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter 46: The Phoenix King and the Qilin King Are in the Same Boat
Lang Ye exhaled a sigh of relief after being enveloped in black smoke. Horse Abdomen, not daring to be careless, made a desperate leap to the side, narrowly avoiding Kong Xuan's attack. It stood still, its tone wavering even in its flatness: "Peacock King?"
"Indeed, it is I. Shu Que Wu Pan."
Kong Xuan ignored Horse Abdomen and turned to help the coughing Lang Ye, asking in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"
Lang Ye spat out a mouthful of blood and replied, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly good. Just let me battle this abomination for another three hundred rounds."
Horse Abdomen said, "You've already been poisoned by Violet Poison; it's better to save your strength to find Seven Star Grass for the antidote."
Horse Abdomen's eyes were fixed on Kong Xuan: "Ming Wang, I won't fight you. I'm under the Qilin King, and the Phoenix King is in cahoots with the Qilin King; I won't harm you."
Kong Xuan's face turned as green as bamboo with anger. Don't use that flat tone, as if it were as unremarkable as someone's chest, to say that my family is too poor to afford pants. My father has two legs; damn it, the Qilin has four legs! My father is tall, handsome, graceful and heroic; the Qilin is robust with fangs and a rough appearance—completely not on the same level!
Kong Xuan's voice was as cold as ice: "Do you dare to challenge me?"
"I wouldn't dare. Three hundred years ago, the Peacock King swept through Nine Heavens Mysterious Buddha, Three Mountains, Five Caves, Seventy-Two Immortal Islands—no one could rival him. How could I, just an extraordinary beast that has cultivated for a few thousand years, dare to challenge?"
Hearing this, Lang Ye couldn't help but recall the past glory. The wolf fur lightly shook as he said, "You know your place well. Little Meow, even I, the Black Wolf King, could take you down with one move."
The coffin face of Horse Abdomen seemed to reveal a hint of a smile: "Of course, even if there were a hundred Horse Abdomen, you wouldn't be able to defeat the Black Wolf King. However, I was referring to the magical Ming Wang and Wolf King. Right now, you are no different from ordinary beasts."
"You?" Lang Ye was struck at his core by Little Meow's words, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Tang Zisu listened intently to their conversation. Peacock King? Where have I seen you before? Your name sounds so familiar, but I can't recall it at the moment.
The sweet lyrics fit the scene perfectly, but the background music needed to switch to A Chinese Ghost Story.
That book, yes, that nonsensical book that made me spill milk tea on my laptop and forced me to travel through time!
The male protagonist in that book is Kong! Que! Da! Ming! Wang!
Hahaha, Tang Zisu laughed uncontrollably, it was too absurd, too ridiculous!!!
It turned out that Tang Zisu's laughter was more lethal than Horse Abdomen's roar. Several men—no, several male animals—looked at her in confusion.
Tang Zisu struggled to get up from the bamboo, pointing at Kong Xuan. "You are the Peacock King? You're a man? You're not Xuan Xuan? Then why are you getting close to me? Why are you living with me? Why did you bring me to your world?"
Kong Xuan pressed down on Tang Zisu's finger, his tone gentle but his voice was not the familiar one of Xuan Xuan; it was a deep and magnetic male voice: "Next time you speak, don't point at me; it will make me angry. You have so many questions; which one should I answer first?"
"You, you, you big demon! You should be treated like Sun Wukong and be pressed under Five Elements Mountain! Bad person, let me go." Tang Zisu cried again, this time truly in despair; in this absurd world, she felt like she was trapped in an unending nightmare.
Kong Xuan's face turned slightly pale. He could handle hundreds of Celestial Soldiers but was helpless against a crying woman. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you cry again, I'll throw you into the water."
"Throw it! Hurry up and throw it! I don't want to live anymore. Maybe if I die once, I can go home and never have to see you deceitful creatures again. Anyone who doesn't throw it today is a coward."
