198 Setting Off (I)
As Yang Lujia said, Xia Hua’s blood contained a hint of the void—just like his. This even surprised the people who heard him. However, they almost knew nothing of the void. Hence, their reactions weren’t that intense.
However, Yang Lujia knew something of the void from Brownie. The void was said to be where all the strongest living beings reside. Each of their strongest could destroy the Five Realms with a wave of their hands.
Even Yang Lujia could not do that. He could destroy the lower realm with ease, but it was hard to say in the higher realms. After all, the higher he ascended, the more difficult it was to distort the rules, especially the rules he had vaguely felt before—that rule was especially almost invisible to his eyes. He could slightly control it, and it was the minimum he could do.
Xia Hua looked at Yang Lujia, extremely baffled by the term ‘void’. She had heard from her father (Xia Zhiguang) before that the void was extremely mysterious and enchanting. No one knew what kind of place it was.
“Chief Justice Cao, do you know something of the void?” Xia Zhiguang’s curiosity was picked and he went near his daughter.
“I know a little. In fact, it could be said that I also have the blood of those from the void. In other words, I am a human from the void,” Yang Lujia replied earnestly, but it still garnered the shock of everyone present. “Needless to say, I think the most qualified to talk about the void would not be me…”
Yang Lujia then looked in a specific direction. Soon enough, a loud bark of a dog swept the entire continent. Its bark had the power to destroy all of them. However, since Yang Lujia was present, Brownie did not dare unleash his full power.
“Could it be…” All of them felt deafened after they heard the bark. However, their expectations exceeded the slight pain they felt. “Could it be that the one Chief Justice Cao was the little puppy before?” Xia Zhiguang finished the other people’s thoughts.
“Yes, Brownie comes from the void. Moreover, he’s a prince of a relatively strong tribe there,” Yang Lujia replied.
Soon enough, a dog walking gracefully in the air arrived at the place where they were all chatting. “Your Highness, if I may…”
However, Brownie bowed to Yang Lujia before jumping into the latter’s arms. Unlike before, Brownie seemed to have grown in size and even his cultivation had reached the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.
As expected of the Devouring Void Dog Tribe’s blood. It was extremely powerful that it just took three years for Brownie to reach the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm.
Even geniuses like Xia Hua would dim before his talent.
Brownie then licked the face of Yang Lujia and also licked his paws before sweeping his gaze on the people around him. “To be honest, it had been a long time since I managed to detect the void’s aura in the little girl’s blood. However, before, I was uncertain as my strength is limited. Now, I can be sure that the little girl is from the void. As for which tribe she belonged to, this Mighty Dog doesn’t have any clue.”
Yang Lujia was not surprised. He still remembered that Brownie’s memories were sealed. Only by breaking through could he remember everything. Yang Lujia had a strong intuition that Brownie’s background was terrifying and he must have been sent here in the lower realms for something big that happened in their tribe.
“However, I can tell you one thing…” Brownie’s eyes shone with fierceness. The people around them shuddered at his sight. “The void is a place that no one would dare invade. The void is a place filled with very very powerful people. In my unsealed memories, I remembered how my father, the Tribe Chief, destroyed an entire realm without breaking a sweat—just because he was ordered to.”
GASP!
“Mighty Dog’s background was actually that terrifying?!”
“If Mighty Dog’s background was this terrifying, what about Chief Justice Cao’s background?”
“You’re right on the spot! I couldn’t help but wonder about Chief Justice Cao’s background, given his overpowered strength!”
Yang Lujia was also curious. Although he did not have any feelings for his real parents, neither here nor on Earth as he was mistreated there, he still somewhat wanted to know more about them.
Seeing the curious looks of the people, Brownie could only helplessly sigh. “You’re all wrong about one thing. While my background was terrifying, in my memories, nothing would be more terrifying than His Highness’ background.”
GASP!
Everyone stood frozen after hearing Brownie, especially accompanied by the seriousness of his tone.
“Back then, if my memory was telling me the right thing, a power offended one of their elders and tagged that elder as a ‘shameless prick’ but was actually not—do you know what happened to that power who offended them?”
Brownie kept them in suspense.
However, Yang Lujia just rolled his eyes in response. “Do we even need to guess?”
“If I said that the power was eliminated, that wouldn’t come as a surprise,” Brownie suddenly interjected and looked at the people with a mischievous smile.
“Oh?” Yang Lujia’s was pricked.
“That elder alone eradicated that entire power. Moreover, that power was said to be on par with His Highness’ family but was still erased from the face of the earth after offending a mere elder of His Highness’ family.”
FUCK!
Yang Lujia almost cussed out such a word after hearing Brownie’s reply. He would have never thought it was enough for his family to destroy them with several experts. To think it would only take a mere elder to destroy an entire power, went to show just how strong his family was.
This was probably why Brownie feared Yang Lujia very much when they first met.
Brownie just laughed at others’ reactions, especially Yang Lujia’s twitching face.
HAHAHA!
After the laughter died down, Brownie then looked at Xia Hua and examined her from head to toe. Brownie then used some means to inspect Xia Hua’s blood. He then gasped that he found himself unable to breathe.
“What the fuck is going on?! Why would two monsters from the void appear in this lowly place?!”
“What do you mean by that, Brownie?”
Yang Lujia was surprised by the reaction brought by Brownie. From the latter’s reaction, it seemed like Xia Hua also had a terrifying background. It was one thing for Yang Lujia to be here, however, Xia Hua’s presence greatly baffled Brownie.
The force behind her. It was comparable to Yang Lujia’s family.
“Ms. Xia…” Astonishingly, Brownie called out to her with a serious tone and even changed the way he addressed her. “That is not your real face, right?”
Everyone’s faces turned livid, as though something bad was about to happen. However, contrary to what they expected, Xia Hua just actually nodded and looked contemplatively at Xia Zhiguang. “Father…”
“Xia Hua, you don’t have to hide it from them anymore. With His Highness’ protection, even if you show your true face to any man in the future, they would not dare touch you.”
“Alright…”
“But, Ms. Xia, before you do that. I want to ask you something,” Brownie interfered, his face was actually serious right now and it made Xia Hua shiver.
It was like she eyed like a beast.
“Your body… what kind of special body do you have…do you also have that kind of body as that of your family?”
Everyone realized then that Xia Hua’s backing was also a group of relatives—enjoined together—just like Yang Lujia’s family.
Xia Hua then hesitantly looked at Xia Zhiguang and decided to tell everyone the truth. “To tell you the truth, we also don’t know what my special body was called. However, it was something related to the Yin energy inside. Through sexual interaction, I could practically help any man breakthrough like butter.”
As Xia Hua was saying those words, she unintentionally looked at Yang Lujia who was also contemplating something. Him—not paying attention to his words was like a blow to her. She was disappointed in herself. Even if she was to show her real face, he wouldn’t necessarily like her.
Xia Zhiguang, on the other hand, managed to capture the gaze Xia Hua threw at Yang Lujia. He was also hoping to betroth her to him. If it was before, he would not have done so. Yang Lujia’s position in their hearts was akin to them being earth and he being heaven.
However, it was different now. Now that the child he coincidentally found before was actually someone with a strong family background from the void—he knew that Xia Hua might have a chance of being able not to just get acquainted with Yang Lujia but also have a closer relationship than friendship with him.
“I see,” Brownie meaningfully said.
“S-Should I show my face n-now…”
“You may.” Surprisingly, it was Yang Lujia who replied to her. She thought he wasn’t paying attention.
In fact, Yang Lujia was just lost in thought as he suddenly thought of something interesting. It was not that he wanted to ignore her words, he was just distracted.
“A-Alright…” Xia Hua’s face turned beet red and tried to revert her face to her actual face.
When her face slowly changed, the crowd, especially the men, gasped.
Her beauty. It was like an untainted sculpture of a woman made by the best artist that existed. She was not that pale. In fact, her skin was just naturally white. Apart from that, it was as smooth as silk. Her eyes had also turned pinkish, but that change was only momentary.
It also had to be known that her body also changed slightly. Her hips and curves were now even more beautiful than before. If she could be said to be extremely beautiful before, now she could be described as the most beautiful woman in existence—a woman who could ensue war between worlds.
“Ah?” Yang Lujia was surprised too. In a moment there, he was momentarily stunned by her beauty. Nevertheless, he shook his head and did not let his thoughts overcome him.
