Chapter 778 - Ji Wuzi!
A World Worth Protecting
Wang Baole was about to land his 200th kick, but he paused after hearing the youthâs words and lowered his head to look at him.
Seeing Wang Baole retract his foot, the youth heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly raised his head to look at Wang Baole. He kept cursing him in his heart but didnât dare to show even a tinge of displeasure on his face. Instead, he squeezed out quite a bit of flattery towards Wang Baole.
âAre you tired, Daddy? Iâm very skilled at massage. Why donât you lay down there? Iâll give you a massage and ease your fatigue. You can teach me a lesson once youâre done resting.â
Wang Baole raised his eyebrows and looked at the youthâs flattering face. It was obvious that he was skilled at doing this and that he did it regularly. This caused Wang Baoleâs suspicion about his identity to rise in his heart again.
He felt that other than this guyâs weird body, there was nothing else about him that seemed princely. That was especially so because of his skilled flattery. It pleased Wang Baole a great deal, and his expression became softer. After sizing up the youth a few more times, he spoke coldly.
âIf you were so well-behaved earlier, you wouldnât have had to suffer my beatings. Well, Daddy didnât really want to beat you. Behave yourself. Tell me, how were you teleported here?â Wang Baole coughed, raising his hand to touch the youthâs head.
Hearing Wang Baoleâs words, the youth instantly felt like crying. On the one hand, he was beaten up previously. On the other hand, he knew why it happened. The person in front of him just beat him up viciously, and he should hate him. But... as Wang Baole touched his head, alongside his words that could be considered somewhat warm, the youth strangely felt moved.
So he quickly nodded, tried his best to maintain his look of flattery, and responded.
âDaddy, I really am from the Black Earth Empire, Iâm a pri...â Speaking to this point, the youth saw a flash in Wang Baoleâs eyes, so he immediately roused himself and quickly changed his words.
âDaddy, I was wrong. Iâm not a prince, Iâm just a peasant from the Black Earth Empire. I rely on acting to support myself. When I was performing for the prince in the palace, I was suddenly teleported here...â the youth said while crying. Fearing that Wang Baole wouldnât believe him, he even took out his identity token.
âLook, Daddy, this is my identity record from my empire. I was wrong, I shouldnât have lied. Please forgive me, Daddy.â
Wang Baoleâs gaze flashed, and he took the token to take a look. Sweeping across it with his consciousness, he indeed saw the youthâs identity on the token. But other than that, there was no other information.
Wang Baole didnât really believe him when he said he was a prince. But now, when the youth said he wasnât a prince, Wang Baole was still suspicious.
Could it be that he was actually some prince that I beat to submission? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. He suddenly raised his right hand and pressed onto the youthâs Tianling acupoint. Not waiting for the youth to react, he unleashed the Dark Artâs soul-searching technique.
This wasnât Wang Baoleâs first time using the soul-searching technique. But the moment he searched, his expression changed slightly. This was because... the youthâs memories were completely blank. There was nothing there!
This kind of situation was impossible even if he soul-searched a fool unless the personâs memories were completely wiped out by someone, and no new memories were added. But from the youthâs performance, this was impossible.
Interesting... Heâs not obstructing my soul-search, but his memories are completely blank. Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and thought secretly in his heart about the possibility of this youth actually being a prince...
As Wang Baole thought, the youthâs body trembled, and fear appeared in his eyes. Seemingly afraid of getting beaten up again, he paused for a while before speaking with a shaky voice.
âDonât be mistaken, Daddy. Since I was young, my body has been different from everyone else. Other people have searched my soul before and similarly didnât get any results. I also donât know whatâs going on... Please donât beat me up.â As the youth spoke, tears trickled down his face again, falling on the caligae that he claimed one hundred thousand concubines weaved for him using hair.
Looking at the youthâs cowardly behavior and considering that he was only at the Core Formation realm, looked ordinary, and didnât have an aura like himself, Wang Baole thought again and did a body search on the youth. This included his storage bags. He didnât even neglect the small mirrors on his clothes.
After finally confirming that they were trash, Wang Baole furrowed his brows. He secretly thought that this guy didnât own any Dharmic treasures, and he could tell that he was poor just by looking. Even if he was some prince, the civilization he belonged to must have been extremely weak.
After coming to this conclusion, Wang Baole instantly lost interest in the youth and was too lazy to even ask for his name. He spoke coldly.
âAlright, no matter your identity and background, itâs none of my business. Look out for yourself.â As he spoke, Wang Baole turned around and prepared to leave.
He only came here to clear his mind and didnât expect to receive anything. At this moment, he decided to go elsewhere to look around before returning to the Ice Phoenix Legion to continue researching the Heaven Shaking Divine Justice Shield.
After hearing Wang Baoleâs words, the youth paused and took a quick look at the surroundings, confusion appearing in his eyes. He saw that Wang Baole had already turned around and was staring at his back. Struggling for a while, the youth quickly shouted, âDaddy, where are we...â
Wang Baole stopped. Since the youth had already called him daddy, he had to take care of him somewhat. So he threw out a jade scroll containing a map of the Divine Eye civilization.
The youth quickly caught it, and his face turned white after he quickly checked it. This star map was completely foreign to him, and the confusion brought about by the foreignness quickly turned into a feeling of danger and unease.
âBe careful when you go out, donât get caught and turned into a pet by other people.â Wang Baole noticed the youthâs unease, but he felt that he had done all that he could to help. As for how the youth was going to leave, Wang Baole didnât care. With a flick of his body, he left the area, entered the path, and decided to head out.
But as he stepped onto the path, the sound of the youth nearing, as well as his anxious shouts, sounded from behind him.
âWait for me, Daddy...â The youth had no choice. Looking at the star map, he felt a strong sense of unease. At the same time, it seemed like only the guy in front of him could help him in this foreign place. After all, although the guy had quirks and beat him up, he didnât kill him in the end. This made the youth instinctively want to follow him.
He could see Wang Baoleâs annoyance, but the unease in his heart left him with no other choice. So after he caught up with Wang Baole, he started sucking up to him continuously and could be said to have gone all out to do so.
Walking in front, Wang Baole took a look at the youth that was following him like a dog skin plaster. The more he listened to the youthâs skilled bootlicking, the more he felt that the youth couldnât possibly be a prince. So he put on a face as he walked out of the cave. Standing on the meteorite and about to enter his battleship parked in the cosmos, he turned back and stared at the youth.
âStop following me!â
âDaddy, donât leave me here... I have a sister, sheâs a famous beauty in the Black Earth Empire. I can introduce her to you. Donât worry, with my help, youâll definitely succeed!â The youth slapped his chest. After trying all methods of bootlicking and realizing they had little to no effect, he started playing the badger game.
Hearing this, although Wang Baole had no feelings for the lady who was sold before even meeting him, the youthâs words tickled his fancy. He thought that the youthâs personality was similar to that of the donkey. They were both the type that wouldnât listen unless one beat them. So he rolled his eyes and took a few looks at the youth.
âIf you were to introduce your sister to me, your daddy, how would you address your sister after that?â
The youth froze, then took a deep breath and said hastily, âDaddy, I have an aunt thatâs not bad. My father also just accepted another concubine. Sheâs drop-dead gorgeous. Iâll introduce her to you! At that time, the three women will serve you together and become a much-told tale in the star domain!â
Wang Baole was somewhat helpless, and he was about to wave his hand to dismiss the youthâs thought. The youth was very intelligent and quickly became anxious. He rapidly swept his gaze over Wang Baoleâs body and kept analyzing his needs, trying to figure out how to increase his value in his heart. When he looked at the battleship parked in the cosmos, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, âDaddy, I have a recipe for a Divine Armament in my memories. Iâll give it to you! Please protect me for a period of time, Daddy!â
The youth didnât show any signs of coercing. Instead, he decisively took out a jade scroll and immediately imprinted the recipe, which was considered high level even in the Black Earth Empire, onto it. He then passed the scroll to Wang Baole respectfully.
Seeing the youthâs actions and his decisiveness, Wang Baole couldnât help but stop in his tracks. He took the jade scroll and swept across it with his consciousness. Immediately, his eyes narrowed. After a moment, he raised his head, took a deep look at the youth, and started pondering.
The recipe did indeed contain the refinement method for a type of Divine Armament. It was extremely weird. At the same time, it was more of a refinement technique. Using this technique, he could disassemble a Divine Armament, then attach it onto an enemyâs Divine Armament like a parasite. This would then achieve the effect of stealing and absorption!
It was of extremely high level, and it far exceeded all artifact refinement techniques that Wang Baole had come across. Even Wang Baole could understand at most ten percent of the recipe after taking a quick look at it.
Wang Baole had a feeling that once he completely mastered this recipe, his artifact refinement skills would improve by leaps and bounds and reach a higher level. While this moved him, it also made him interested in the youth. So after pondering, Wang Baole slowly asked, âWhatâs your name?â
âThe national crest of the Black Earth Empire is a parrot, so my father named me Ji Wuzi. You can call me Little Wu, Daddy!â
