173 Ugly Dog (Part 2)
After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang was stunned.
He did not expect the system to issue such a mission.
He had to please a dog?
F*ck!
Wang Mang immediately felt like he had been insulted.
A dignified demon king actually had to curry favor with a dog?
This was simply too much!
What shocked Wang Mang even more was that, given the contents of the mission options, it was implied that this ugly dog was very powerful!
If he angered the other party, would his life be in danger?
His heart felt heavy at the thought of this.
He had just been in high spirits after easily defeating three demon kings and evolving.
Then, the very next day, he was being forced to please a dog!
Forget it!
For the sake of 50,000 evolution value, he had to endure it!
This was the only way he could console himself.
Also, how did such an ugly dog become so powerful?
It possessed a great background and reputation too…
What the f*ck!
Wang Mang muttered reluctantly, “System, I choose Mission 3.”
[Ding! The host has successfully selected the mission. Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang looked at the arrogant wild boar demon and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He asked cautiously, “May I know your background, Demon Emperor?”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the ugly dog became displeased.
It looked at Wang Mang in disbelief.
“You actually don’t know me?” he asked in astonishment.
“How dare you not recognize me! Is my reputation not great enough? Don’t you know how powerful I am?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang was speechless. This ugly dog was also a pretentious motherf*cker!
What made Wang Mang even more frustrated was that he was being dissed by a dog. It was really a difficult pill to swallow.
At this moment, the ugly dog raised its head and said proudly, “Tell him! Tell him who I am!”
Hearing this, the wild boar demon roared arrogantly, “Little demon king, listen carefully!”
“Our Great King is a demon lord from the heavens, a godlike being in the human world, and the invincible leader of the demon race! He is the strongest and most awesome number one Demon Emperor!”
“Do you comprehend the majesty of the Great King now, peasant?”
After saying that, the wild boar demon was also abnormally arrogant. It raised its head and flared its piggy nostrils.
Wang Mang was speechless. However, when he remembered that his mission was to please the other party, he could only say in a shocked tone, “So it’s the number one Demon Emperor! Please forgive me if I have offended you!”
Seeing that Wang Mang was so tactful, the ugly dog was very satisfied.
“Not bad! You actually know your place! It just so happens that I am still lacking a great guardian. In the future, you will be my great guardian!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang almost burst into tears.
This ugly dog wanted to use him as free labor? Was he to serve beneath a dog now?
Furthermore, it was a f*cking ugly dog!
Thinking this, Wang Mang was furious, but also completely helpless. This ugly dog was probably much stronger than he was.
“Esteemed Demon Emperor,” Wang Mang said helplessly, “I have something to accomplish first. When I’m done, I’ll come to you as soon as possible. How about that?”
Upon hearing this, the ugly dog thought for a moment and smacked his lips. “That’s true. It’s not easy for you to blend into human society with your identity. It’s not good for me to bring you along.”
“How about this? You’ll be my great guardian in the future!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mang heard the familiar voice of the system ringing out in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations! [You have successfully completed the mission and received a reward of 50,000 evolution value!]
[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Advanced Gacha x1!]
Wang Mang was stunned.
Was that all it took to complete the mission?
Thinking this, Wang Mang almost laughed out loud.
If there were such missions in the future, he would accept them without hesitation. All it took was a few words of flattery. It was simply not difficult at all!
However, Wang Mang still wanted to find out the true origins of this fellow.
Therefore he asked in a fawning tone, “I was wondering if the Esteemed Demon Emperor has ever done something sensational…”
Upon hearing Wang Mang’s question, the ugly dog was astonished. “Indeed! Huh? No, how did you know?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang hurriedly shook his head and smiled. “Since the Esteemed Demon Emperor is the number one demon emperor, you must have done something great!”
“Otherwise, how could you be respected by all of the demons?”
The ugly dog basked in Wang Mang’s flattery.
“Yes, yes! I have done many great things!”
“I should tell you that I have a very powerful background!”
“Do you know Lu Dongbin of the Eight Immortals?”
(T/N: A legendary poet and scholar from the Tang Dynasty era who was elevated to the status of immortal by Daoists.)
Hearing this, Wang Mang was stunned and asked in astonishment, “Does the Esteemed Demon Emperor have some dealings with Lu Dongbin?”
Hearing this, the ugly dog was very proud. “It’s more than just some dealings! In Lu Dongbin’s last life, he was almost bitten to death by me!”
“He was bitten by me until he cried for his father and mother. If it wasn’t for my kindness to spare his pitiful life, he probably would never have become an immortal!”
Wang Mang was completely dumbfounded. He felt like his brain was short-circuiting.
Everyone had heard of the popular proverb regarding Lu Dongbin, which depicted Lu Dongbin being bitten by a dog. The proverb, “a dog bites Lu Dongbin,” was an allusion to people who did not know how to appreciate the kindness of others, repaying good with evil.
Wang Mang had naturally heard of it!
However, was this not just a legend and a folk rumor? Could it be true?
He quickly asked, “System, is what this b*stard said true?
The familiar voice of the system then rang out.
[Yes!]
After hearing the system’s confirmation, Wang Mang was dumbfounded.
F*ck!
In that case, this ugly dog really had a powerful background!
He even bit Lu Dongbin?
This ugly dog was the same one from the proverb? What the hell was going on here in the world?
To be honest, were it not for the system’s confirmation, Wang Mang would never have believed it.
This b*stard dog probably knew a lot about Earth’s secrets!
When it saw Wang Mang’s shocked expression, the ugly dog became even more smug.
“How about it, huh? I’m amazing, ain’t I?”
“Back then, Lu Dongbin said that he wanted to subdue me and give me immortal fate. Hmph! I’m a demon emperor! How could he subdue me?”
“In my anger, I almost ate his mortal body!”
“Sigh! What a pity! I was afraid of being punished by the heavens, so I had to let him go…”
