Dong Wushang and Dong Wulei were leading a horse along the road, engaged in conversation. Both brothers felt an unprecedented sense of ease and joy after years of hardship.
Behind them, the remaining nine experts were pale and trembling, following cautiously.
To their surprise, neither brother mentioned the nine people, nor did they discuss how to deal with them, leaving them to linger in silence.
The nine wanted to speak but hesitated, feeling anxious as they endured a torturous journey.
Dong Wulei’s eyes were still a bit red, and he had been discreetly massaging the area around his eyes whenever he had the chance.
It was quite embarrassing.
Damn it, I actually cried loudly in public, ruining my reputation almost completely in this lifetime.
Dong Wulei was conflicted—it was so humiliating.
Thinking back to how he had cried out loud just a moment ago, the young patriarch wished for a crack in the ground to swallow him whole.
What a foolish thing to do! Wouldn’t it have been better if that stupid pig had died? Why was I upset at all… damn it!
Naturally, Dong Wushang wasn’t oblivious; every time Dong Wulei rubbed his eyes, he would come over with concern, appearing honest and sincere: “Big Brother, are your eyes still hurting? Sigh, I’m really touched… you’ve cried… it’s my first time seeing you cry since we were kids…”
……
Every time this happened, Dong Wulei felt utterly mortified! That brat, didn’t he see me rubbing my eyes in secret? And then he comes over to comfort me…
Comfort my ass!
After Dong Wulei rubbed his eyes for the eighth time, and Dong Wushang approached for the eighth time with his cautious words, Dong Wulei finally erupted!
In a few quick moves, he turned Dong Wushang into a pig's head! While hitting him, he shouted, “How did that stupid pig Chu King of Hell teach you? How could such a smart person become brothers with a fool like you? You follow such a clever person every day and don’t learn a damn thing? You don’t even have an ounce of sense! Laugh! Try laughing again? I… I’ll beat you to death…”
Dong Wushang covered his head, feeling wronged, wondering what was going on.
Seriously, he really didn’t know what was good for him. Even when Gu Duxing and the others felt uncomfortable, I rarely comforted them. Isn’t it because you’re my elder brother? Did I care too much and now it’s wrong?
The more Dong Wushang thought about it, the more wronged he felt. I give you a privilege that others don’t enjoy, and you actually hit me?
There comes a point where enough is enough!
What’s tolerable and what’s intolerable!
An uncle can tolerate many things, but not this!
“Let go of me!”
“Puff! Puff!”
“Let go of me!”
“Puff!”
“Are you done yet?” Dong Wushang finally snapped, flipping over, fists and feet flying, fiercely fighting back!
After a battle, both brothers were left bruised and lying on the ground, yelling in pain.
Now Dong Wulei didn’t have to worry about his eyes being red anymore, as his whole eye area was now bruised…
……
After a long while, Dong Wulei said, “Wushang, I find today’s events a bit strange.”
“Strange?”
“Yes! Too strange! Why did the Dark Demon let us go?” Dong Wulei, with his swollen pig-like mouth, pondered with a piece of grass in his mouth.
“Indeed, I also feel that the Dark Demon’s behavior today was a bit off.” Dong Wushang’s face was quite strange, blinking with one eye black and the other blue.
“Today, if we had fought, the best outcome for us brothers would have been to perish together with them! Or perhaps, we wouldn't even be able to do that!” Dong Wulei deliberated; he knew Dong Wushang better than anyone.
“Because I came, I became your burden. If I can’t escape, neither can you. Thus, the final outcome would be that we all fight desperately!”
“But they have the numbers. Although their Imperial Throne isn’t as sharp as your Blade Emperor, six or seven of them are far above yours. As long as they are willing to pay the price to fight you head-on, you will undoubtedly die!”
