The flames lit up Lan Kouâs beautiful face. She added timber while also looking excitedly at the pot. The half a piece of deer leg was sliced into pieces and was stewing inside. Wild vegetables were added in to add taste and the smell made the little girl tempted.
â¦â¦
âYoung warrior.â
On the side, the old man was grinding a short hunter blade, âWe really donât have to hand over offerings? I feel like⦠Lizheng wonât let us go so easily. Lan Kouâs parents died early so only we are left. Even if you help us, but⦠Once you leave, we will still face dangers. The servants of the God Emperor are really evil and they wonât let us traitors off.â
The old man sighed. His face was covered in frowns but he looked towards Lan Kou with love. I understood such a feeling. Lan Kou was everything to the old man.
I thought about it and said, âSo the root of the problem is that you are afraid of Yun Yu?â
âAh Sir Yun Yu?â
Shock appeared on the old manâs face, âYoung warrior, how do you know that name?â
I said, âI heard Lizheng talk about it. Is Yun Yu one of Yun Qianâs guards?â
âHe is a god servant!â The old man looked on in shock, âYoung warrior, the god emperorâs name canât be brought up. No one dares to call his name out loud, that is a sin!â
I nodded, âUnderstood, so he is just a servant. I remember when I came last time I killed a god servant called Yun Fan.â
âWhat?â The old man opened his eyes, âYou were the one that killed Sir Yun Fan? Impossible, that is impossibleâ¦â
He shook his head, âPeople in the upper world said that the Assassin that killed Yun Fan was killed by the God Emperor, how can you still be alive?â
I smiled, âBecause I donât belong to this place so I am special. I came here to challenge God Emperor.â
âWhat?â
This time not only was the old man shocked. Even Lan Kou opened her small mouth, âBrother Pig you want to fight the God Emperor? No, you will be killed, definitely not!â
âNo, I have a chance to defeat him.â I smiled and was filled with confidence.
The old man was filled with sadness and despair. In his eyes, I was a dead person. Lan Kou held my arm and said, âLan Kou believes that Brother Pig will succeed! If you do then you are a God Emperor and can protect Lan Kou from Lizheng, those bad people wonât dare to touch me anymore!â
The old man said, âEat early and get some rest.â
He was definitely worried but that wasnât important. Anyways I would definitely challenge the God Emperor. I was also in Yun Qianâs map so that saved a lot of effort. I just needed to fly up and I could find his nest. Time to rest, I will try again tomorrow.
Not long later, the deer soup was done. Lan Kou helped to scoop a full bowl for both of us and then she also started eating and drinking. I was a player and didnât need to eat so I just ate a small amount and gave the meat to them. Although these were just game data but I was touched by how close and reliant they were on one another.
â¦â¦
After eating, Lan Kou returned to her simple room. The old man just lay on a big tree and passed the night.
The water on the fire boiled and splashed on the campfire. Lan Kou was sound asleep. I kept silent while the old manâs eyes were closed. Who knew if he was asleep or not.
At dawn, the bonfire was extinguished and smoke rose into the air.
Horse hooves could be heard from outside the village.
âSomeone is here!â
The old man sat up, âCavalry, why are there cavalries? Carriages came previously to collect the offerings so why are there cavalries this time?â
The village was in a mess. From afar, 20 cavalries charged over and many of them had Scattered Spirit strength. The cavalries rode through the village but they stopped at the end in front of Lan Kouâs house. My heart shook, someone told on us?
No, if it was the case then Yun Qian would have come himself and not these small fries. If the opponent was a god king, these people would just be asking for death.
â¦â¦
The cavalry at the front jumped off the horse and he smiled, âLance I really have to congratulate you haha!â
The old man was stunned, âSir what is it?â
The man opened a scroll and read, âYun Yu found out that your granddaughter is smart and well brought up so he is planning to marry her as a concubine. You will have a good life so why not accept the decree?â
âThisâ¦â The old man was shocked, âDoesnât Sir Yun Yu have 12 concubines? Why⦠Why does he want Lan Kou? Sir, Lan Kou is just 17 please let her off!â
âScram!â
The guy kicked him aside, âI want this Lan Kou. Wash her up and then letâs head out. Today they will finish their matter!â
When the old man wanted to fight back, I stopped him and told him not to. I said to the guy, âSir, I am Lan Kouâs brother, I was traveling outside and have trained some skills. Now that I am back, since Sir Yun Yu wants to marry Lan Kou, then⦠I should go as a brother, I also need to prepare some gifts for Lan Kou.â
The cavalry smiled, âEh? Lan Kou has such a brother? How rare. But you are quite wise. Once Lan Kou marries Sir Yun Yu, you can have a good life. So, what gift are you planning?â
I pulled out Ganjiang and smiled, âThis.â
The head looked at the sword and was shocked. He placed Ganjiang in a box and hung it on the side of the horse, âPrepare to head out!â
âYes!â
â¦â¦
The cavalries waited outside. Lan Kou grumbled at me, âBrother Pig how can you let Yun Yu marry me, I heard that he is a playboy. I donât want to marry such a person!â
I touched her shoulder, âDonât worry, I will send him to hell before he marries you.â
âOkay I believe you brother!â
Yun Yu believed me but her grandfather didnât. No choice, I had to find a chance to kill Yun Yu. I was going all out, even using Ganjiang as a dowry!
â¦â¦
Lan Kou was dressed really simply. She just changed into the upper worldâs dress. Although she looked a little wild but she was beautiful.
I summoned the God Dragon Horse and galloped north with them. The land was wide and when I was wondering how they were about to head up, the cavalry took out a scroll and a blue ladder appeared. We stepped on the ladder and headed up.
Ten minutes later, back at the same place!
To avoid being recognised, I placed my armor and Butterfly into my bag and walked in with cotton shirts. At the same time, I got close to the servant at the side. He told me everything, âSir Yun Yu is the God Emperorâs best disciple and he has a God Ancestor divinity. In just a few years he might become a God King so he is most praised by the God Emperor in the Flying Cloud World. God Emperor might even come to this wedding personally.â
I said, âFlying Cloud World, what is that?â
âOh, one of the seven worlds, you donât even know that? Heaven Realm is split into seven worlds and Flying Cloud World is the strongest. It is also led by the strongest God Emperor, you can find that out easily. God Emperor Yun Qian is good at four laws and is the strongest of the seven God Emperors. Hehe, anyways once your sister marries Yun Yu, you will have a good life!â
I laughed, âThen I wonât forget you!â
âOkay, donât forget about your good brother!â
âSure!â
I started to get better at talking nonsenseâ¦
â¦â¦
When we arrived between the two cloud pillars, the party to welcome the bride was here. Yun Yu was in great armor and was holding a blade. A red ribbon was wrapped around his arm, he didnât look like a groom but a general ready to fight.
Lan Kouâs face appeared in front of him and he was shocked. He praised, âThe lower world girls are so beautiful. Men, welcome them, today we will complete it.â
âYes!â The guards shouted.
I followed. Lan Kou was nervous as people guided her forwards. Her grandfatherâs face was dead as ash as he followed. I just followed the guards and was finding a chance. I couldnât wait until the wedding was over before attacking, I had to kill him before Yun Qian came. Yun Yu was a God Ancestor, apart from the God Emperor, he was the only other god here. Kill him first and then fight the God Emperor. That was my script.

âKid!â
The guard smiled, âGo, letâs head to the back courtyard. Sir Yun Yu heard that you gave a top weapon so he invited you to the back courtyard to thank you personally.â
