Free Web NovelChapter 1222: Chapter 944: Go Sit at the Kids’ Table_2
It pointed to the position at the top and said, "The master sits there with all kinds of Lords, Alliance Leaders, City Lords, Sect Leaders, at the same table; the next table is for our small courtyard members, led by me, Ling Di, and Shi Hu; the one below is for the master’s guests, with Ghost Cultivators and Demon Cultivators each taking a table as usual..."
The Iron Armored Lion Demon flew over and saw a big turtle gesturing grandly, with its aura almost imperceptible, assuming it was just an ordinary Demon Beast.
Looking to the side, it saw a little white puppy and a young tiger not yet weaned, thinking to itself, what kind of motley crowd this was, that could still sit at the second table.
As the spirit pet of the Alliance Leader, and a Great Demon Beast of the Void Refinement Realm, it has a high status and strength; naturally, it should be seated at the first table.
Thinking this, it swaggered forward.
"Whose spirit pet are you?" Yan Xuan took one look and saw a small iron-headed lion rushing toward the master’s seat.
Its appearance was unimpressive, its aura uncaringly exposed, and it was merely in the Void Refinement Realm—what was worth flaunting?
Not liking this creature much, it coldly asked, "Is your name on the invitation? Those seats are for honored guests, not just anyone can sit there."
Blocked, the Iron Armored Lion Demon sneered arrogantly, "I am the spirit pet of Du Li, Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Realm Alliance. If not at the prestigious seat, where else should I sit?"
Yan Xuan looked it over, thinking that Du Li’s pet was rather unruly, and planned to mock him later.
There was too much to prepare now, feeling too lazy to engage, it casually pointed a paw at the last table, "You go to the children’s table."
"What?" The Iron Armored Lion Demon doubted its ears and suspected the foolish turtle was unaware of Alliance Leader Du’s influence.
Just as it was about to raise its voice to embarrass the other side, it heard the Little Rabbit Demon happily exclaim, "Great, we’re sitting together! Alliance Leader Du comes by every day, why have I not seen you before? What’s your name?
I’m called Feng Ling, a Rabbit Demon.
My master says it’s fortunate I now have a Dragon Breath, otherwise I wouldn’t qualify to attend the banquet. Mr. Jiang has prepared delicacies of Immortal Grade, and if our strength is too low, it would be easy to get intoxicated from the feast."
Iron Armored Lion Demon: ???
What’s this? Dragon Breath? What is that?
Despite its disdain for talking to such low Realm Little Demons, the unfamiliar term piqued its curiosity, prompting it to gruffly ask, "What’s Dragon Breath? Does having that make you powerful?"
"Ah, I don’t know either." Feng Ling shook her head cluelessly, then laughed, "Senior Bai gave it to me for protection, but everyone says it’s a very impressive thing."
The Iron Armored Lion Demon no longer paid heed, deeming the rabbit a bit silly.
Turning its thoughts to the ignorant turtle daring to send it to the last table, it figured, fine, it would sit there, letting the master see what a lousy banquet this is!
The one arranging the seating clearly knows nothing, treating the esteemed spirit pet of the Vice Alliance Hierarch and a Great Demon Beast of the Void Refinement Realm with such disrespect!
Once the master sees its suffering, it won’t need to say much for justice to be done. Otherwise, where’s the dignity of the Vice Alliance Hierarch in the Demon Realm Alliance?
Thinking this, it turned crossly towards the farthest Jade Platform, yet was blocked by the Rabbit Demon Feng Ling along the way.
Displeased, it raised a paw to kick—though not to cause fatal harm, it aimed to bruise her little fragile body with just one paw. Who asked this little bunny to be so ignorant, hindering its course despite her low status!
"Bang!"
With malice, it kicked out a paw, only to see a sudden flash on Feng Ling’s body, sending Iron Armored Lion Demon flying back, crashing onto the Jade Platform, almost shattering tables, chairs, and benches.
As the flash occurred, a dragon’s roar emanated from the Rabbit Demon.
"Hey? What happened to you?" Feng Ling hadn’t even noticed when the Dragon Breath activated, looking blankly at the heavily crashed Iron-Headed Lion and then at others, quietly asked, "Senior Yan Xuan, does he have a falling tendency while walking?"
The moment the Iron Armored Lion Demon launched its paw, Yan Xuan, Ling Di, Shi Hu, and Bai Yunqi all sensed it, knowing its attack wasn’t full strength and wouldn’t penetrate the Dragon Breath’s defense, so none intervened.
Indeed, it wasn’t until suffering a great setback that the Iron Armored Lion Demon realized what "Dragon Breath" was—a trace left by the Flood Dragon, capable of deflecting certain levels of harm!
"Du Li usually seems well-mannered, why bring such an unruly one today?" Yan Xuan was furious, as this was the master’s first time hosting a banquet at his Turquoise Pool, inviting many prestigious figures, yet this Iron-Headed Foolish Lion nearly ruined it.
It slightly narrowed its eyes, unleashing the full aura of its Peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm, striking fear into the Iron-Armored Lion Demon, making it tremble and cry out in shock, "Great, Great Senior, spare me!"
"Did you come here to cause trouble?" Yan Xuan pressed closer, exuding ferocious energy towards it.
"No, not at all, I’m, I’m sorry, Great Senior..." Terrified by its heavy injuries and the pressure exerted, the Iron Armored Lion Demon retreated backward, shaking, "I’ll sit at the children’s table, Great Senior, please overlook my offense."
Ling Di also released the aura of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, coldly snorted, "What are you boasting about at mere Void Refinement?
Everyone here is stronger than you, quickly gather your aura and tail to retreat behind. Were it not for considering your master’s face, there’s no place for you even at the children’s table.
Apologize to Miss Feng Ling!"
"Sorry, I shouldn’t have ambushed Miss Feng Ling, sorry, please forgive me!" The Iron Armored Lion Demon immediately knelt, as smooth as the time it was made a spirit pet in Carefree City.
Feng Ling pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Let it be, I’m not hurt and you reaped what you sowed. Don’t be so reckless again, it’s a small shame, but losing your life wouldn’t be worthwhile.
It’s through the face of my master and Senior Bai that I could attend a banquet here at the Jade Platform. After all, we can’t compare to seniors like Yan Xuan, Ling Di, and Shi Hu, who are Mr. Jiang’s spirit pets."
The Iron Armored Lion Demon’s mind buzzed, realizing that being the spirit pet of the Vice Alliance Hierarch in the Demon Realm wasn’t all that powerful, and noting Mr. Jiang’s style, employing Great Demon Beasts of the Tribulation Crossing Realm as spirit pets!
"Your master?" Having apologized, it slinked away from the vicinity of the two Great Seniors, no longer daring to underestimate Feng Ling, squeezed a flattering smile and asked, "Who might that be? Are they friends with Mr. Jiang?"
Feng Ling pointed, "Look, Cloud City’s City Lord is my newly accepted master, she’s a Great Demon Cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm. What’s your name? How did you become Alliance Leader Du’s spirit pet? Never saw you before."
It really had no name, living among the pack where most Demon Beasts lacked intelligence.
As the most formidable Iron Armored Lion Demon, those capable of speech called it ’Boss,’ never having considered naming itself.
After being nearly crushed to death by Du Li and subsequently contracted, Du Li, being occupied with trivial alliance affairs, never managed to pay it attention, always addressing it with a casual "Hey," making it dutifully come over.
Asked its name now, the Iron Armored Lion Demon flicked its tail and shook its head, "I’ve got no name."
A Skylark flapped over, gazing at it with sympathy, "I never had a name either, but when Sir took me as a spirit pet, he gifted me items and named me. Didn’t Alliance Leader Du give you even a name? Did he gift you anything?"
The opponent grinned, "He wounded me, then gave me an Elixir; does that count as a gift?"
"What kind of gift is that!" The Skylark’s eyes widened, chirping angrily, "If we’re accidentally injured, Mr. Jiang’s Spirit Elixir is freely eaten until completely healed.
A gift should be... expressing intention and friendliness, specially bestowed! Why did Alliance Leader Du hit you? Did you do something wrong?"
With the comparison, the Iron Armored Lion Demon realized its treatment was pitiful!
Days spent being praised by cultivators of the alliance were no more than riding on someone’s coattails, not true beloved pets. Forget about gifts, even healing Elixirs couldn’t be eaten freely!
The more it thought, the angrier it grew, blaming its own foolishness for being coaxed by other Demon Beasts into making trouble at Carefree City, getting not only physically beaten but compelled to accept the spirit pet bond;
Feeling mad for not negotiating terms with the surname Du, blindly accepting him as master.
Resulting now in being without name, without gifts, and enduring injuries still untreated!
"Ah, let’s not mention it, it’s depressing." Earlier strutting pridefully, the Iron Armored Lion Demon was now struck by consecutive setbacks, dejectedly sitting at the children’s table, quietly waiting for the banquet to start.
