“Old man, what did you say?” Yao Guang roared furiously in a corner of the Dragon Palace. His hoarse voice became even more hoarse, which didn’t fit for his childish face at all.
“Yao Guang, go out and see what’s going on,” said the old man unhurriedly, and then yawned. “If Yun Feng is in trouble, help her take care of it. It shouldn’t be a problem for you. I’m going to go to bed. I’m so sleepy…” The old man’s voice was gone, replaced by the sound of snoring.
Yao Guang stood in midair, and gradually became sullen. There was nothing but coldness in his gray eyes. Who was bold enough to disturb his sleep? Did they want to get killed?
The short man rose to the sky in the black robe. His gray eyes emitted light, and a weird array appeared underneath his body. Yun Feng, who was resisting the unknown pressure, was already covered in sweat. She knew she was approaching her limits. Who was this old man? He didn’t seem very strong, yet he gave her such a heavy pressure!
“Yun Feng, you’re still not giving in? If you give me your ring, I will offer you my map in exchange. You will benefit from the deal!” The old man’s teasing voice came into Yun Feng’s ears. Her lips curled coldly. “Just like I said, I won’t give you anything!”
“Good! You do have a backbone!” His angry voice came, and the pressure was increased again. Yun Feng grunted and nearly fell on her knees. She gritted her teeth. Her legs were shaking, but she kept standing!
The old man, who had been observing Yun Feng in secret, was surprised. The pressure he imposed had even lowered the heads of those at the peak of the Monarch Level. Yet, Yun Feng was still standing, even though her back was slightly bent. She was struggling, but her resolve was truly remarkable!
“Kid!” Yun Feng suddenly heard a voice. At first, she thought it was her ancestor’s voice, but the voice was too hoarse and unpleasant. Soon, Yun Feng recognized that it was the voice of the perverted senior in the Dragon Palace!
“Perverted senior!” Yun Feng blurted in her heart. Yao Guang, who was inside the Dragon Palace, almost vomited blood because of fury. “What did you just call me?”
Yun Feng smiled awkwardly. “Nothing… Is there anything I can do for you, senior? I don’t have time for chit chat right now.” Yun Feng sounded quite exhausted. It wasn’t easy for her to endure the pressure for so long.
“Humph! The two noisy human beings woke me up! I wouldn’t have talked to you if it weren’t for them!”
Yun Feng smiled. Was it her brother and Mu Xiaojin? They must’ve realized something was wrong, and called out to her, but she didn’t hear anything. “Please forgive them, senior…” Yun Feng struggled to say, breathing heavily. Yao Guang frowned after hearing that. “Kid, what happened to you?”
Yun Feng was going to say that she was fine, but she only let out a grunt. Yao Guang stood straight abruptly, with worry on his face. “What’s going on? Tell me!”
Yun Feng’s voice didn’t come back until a long time later. “There’s a… minor problem.”
Yao Guang furrowed his brows. “You’re breathing so heavily, yet you call it a minor problem? Are you too proud to give in?” Yun Feng’s laughter came back, and she was not surrendering at all. Yao Guang put on a helpless smile. “If I don’t help you, the two noisy humans will just keep shouting! Now, focus and summon me. Remember, my name is Yao Guang.”
Yun Feng’s lips curled in the dark. She closed her eyes and opened her lips, reciting the name, “Yao Guang.” One of the arrays in the Dragon Palace glowed brilliantly under the summoning, and a person disappeared into the light. Then, everything was back to peace. The old man’s voice echoed again. “Don’t get back late…”
After reciting the name, Yun Feng suddenly felt that the pressure on her was eased, and the old man who had been observing her was shocked! The pressure he imposed in the space had been neutralized! How was it possible? That was impossible!
Light erupted in the darkness like the sun that was rising on the horizon. The dazzling brilliance drove away the darkness, allowing Yun Feng to see the things in the room again. The old man was still sitting in front of his desk, with a marvelous expression on his face.
“W-What’s this…” The old man mumbled, and stared at the glowing light. When the glowing light disappeared, the weird senior Yun Feng had met in the Dragon Palace was floating in midair. He had the same childish face, strange black robe, a short body, and a pair of gray eyes, which seemed to be filled with fury at this moment.
“It’s you?” Yao Guang fixed his eyes upon the old man the moment he came out. The pressure from his gray eyes made the old man shiver. His hoarse voice echoed in the space, and the pressure of the darkness was gone. Relieved, Yun Feng glanced at Yao Guang.
Yun Feng didn’t know who the guy was, or why he was inside the Dragon Palace. She didn’t know whether he was a guardian of the Dragon Palace, or if he was just a prisoner there. She only knew that the weird senior didn’t have a good temper. He was quite temperamental, and even a little bit bloodthirsty.
Yun Feng still remembered how he teased her back in the Dragon Palace, but she decided to forgive him now that he had appeared and given her a hand. The old man gazed at Yao Guang, and asked in a daze, “Is this… your Magic Beast?”
Hearing that, Yao Guang seemed to be greatly insulted. He flashed forward and approached the old man. “Say that again?” His voice was so hoarse and nasty that the old man had goosebumps all over his body. He opened his mouth, but was unable to make any sound.
