Fiend Prince’s Jealousy
“By the way, Old Furry, you know a monster called Chi Yue? I think it’s from another world. Ghost Gate went to welcome it. It sure resembles your king.”
“Chi Yue came to Third Heaven?!” blurted the white ape fiend king. “You met Chi Yue?”
“Yeah… I evaporated the freak’s corpse water, and then the sun scorched its ugly face out of existence.”
“Chi Yue isn’t that fragile. Give me the details.”
Mu Yu didn’t see any reason to hide the events. Therefore, he recounted everything that happened, including the wooden mannequins and coffins, albeit skimming over the last part.
“What is Chi Yue? It can assume human form. Is it one of your kind?”
“No. It’s not a resident of Third Heaven or Second Heaven. Don’t sweat the details for now. You’re lucky Chi Yue wasn’t at maximum power, or you’d be another skeleton in the river by now.”
“The sun blew it up already,” Mu Yu casually argued.
“That’s because it hasn’t adapted to Third Heaven’s environment and atmosphere. It’ll come back to life with time. On second thought, I need to go and investigate further. Gui Dingtian and Lu Xiong are in charge during my absence, clear?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“You’re leaving just for Chi Yue? What if I’m lying? You should be responsible for your fellow fiends.”
“This is no joking matter. You’re too young to know the details. Be it true or false, it’s too dangerous to dismiss it.”
Mu Yu chased after the fiend king who left in a rush and shouted, “How am I supposed to deal with the His Lordship guy without you?! Ah, man!”
Mu Yu dragged his feet back and gave the hostile fiends a “whatever” look prior to sitting down.
Qiao Xue passed Xiaoshuai back brightly. “Mu Yu, rest up here. I need to resume patrol duty and keep surveillance on Ghost Gate.”
“Why do you have to go when there are so many grown men here?”
Qiao Xue flashed her wood spirit. “The ocean is my territory.”
“I’ll go with you,” declared Mu Yu, standing back up.
“Wait. If you need to journey with us, we have things we need to verify,” called Lu Xiong.
Mu Yu shook his head as he sat back down. Qiao Xue took his hand and whispered, “Don’t worry. They won’t heckle you.”
Mu Yu nodded and reciprocated Qiao Xue’s smile. “Be careful out there.”
“You want to come with us to Sacred Island?” Gui Dingtian questioned as he caressed his bead.
“I have no interest in your ocean king. I’m only after Ghost Gate.”
“Do you know how to get there?” Lu Xiong inquired.
“No.”
“You’re just dead weight, then,” disparaged Long Xingyun, in a condescending tone.
“Let’s hear what you’re good for, then. Commentary, being a punchline or flapping your gums?”
“Say that again!”
“You think I’m scared of you, you chicken, when Old Furry doesn’t scare me?”
“Leave chickens out of it,” randomly commented Gui Dingtian.
“My bad.”
Long Xingyun provoked, “I refuse to let a human join us. They’re too weak and too selfish. He’s going to be the first to run. Plus, what if he betrays us?”
Mu Yu walked off, yet Long Xingyun cut him off to ask, “Did I say you could go?”
“Don’t force me.”
“Tell us where Desert Eagle Fiend King is, and then swear you will never approach Qiao Xue again if you want me to spare you.”
“Yeah, yeah, buzz off.”
“I’m the rule around here!” belted Long Xingyun, discharging his Spirit Severing Realm Ninth Layer energy onto Mu Yu.
Mu Yu swept his gaze around to see nothing but condescending looks from everyone but Gui Dingtian and Lu Xiong. Lu Xiong exclaimed, “Don’t be rude, Xingyun. We are indebted to him for rescuing His Majesty!”
Long Xingyun brushed off the warning, simpering. “Ol’ Tortoise, I am doing this for our race’s sake. You two aren’t from Third Heaven, so I suggest you keep your noses out of this.”
“Impud-”
Gui Dingtian pulled Lu Xiong back for it was unwise to challenge the hierarchy. Moreover, it fell under “personal problems”.
“Now that White Ape Fiend King is gone, you think you run the show? Or, are putting your hopes on them protecting you?” Mu Yu jibed in words and facial expression.
“All of you stay out of this. I can take him by himself,” ordered Long Xingyun, mounting his first attack.
