You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 141 : Chapter 141
Chapter 141: Cheng Yu: I’m Only Conducting a Critical Examination of the Inheritance
After swallowing the Bronze Turtle Statue, Susu darted away like lightning. Flicking her tongue, she gave Cheng Yu a fawning smile.
She looked very much like a thief basking in the smug delight of a successful theft.
Boss, it’s done!
Cheng Yu nodded inwardly and praised her in his mind for a job well done.
To get this thing for Cheng Feng, Cheng Zhenjiang had gone to great lengths, colluded with rebels at great risk, and personally co here to disrupt Cheng Yu’s arrangents.
In the end, he deserved to walk away with nothing!
“What is that?!”
A Demon Beast!
Xiao Teng stared at Susu with widened eyes, stunned by an aura no weaker than that of a Ninth Rank expert and by her noble Heavenly Serpent Bloodline.
He failed to notice that Susu was communicating with Cheng Yu and took it as a sign of hostility from the white snake toward humans.
An astonishing thought sprang into his mind.
This white snake was a mystic beast born naturally within the secret realm. It had rely hidden itself until now!
A being born within the secret realm itself...
A fortuitous opportunity!
Xiao Teng, who held ownership of the secret realm, instantly went red-eyed, and the whole of him fell into ecstatic delight.
This was clearly his fortuitous opportunity!
His chance to break through to Grandmaster had arrived!
At the sa ti, when Cheng Zhenjiang saw the Bronze Turtle Statue swallowed by a white snake that had burst out of nowhere, he instantly flew into a rage.
This was Feng’er’s hope of overcoming his inner demon and standing tall again.
How could it be taken away?
Surging Internal Energy roared out of him like a flooding river. He raised the sword in his hand and moved to kill Susu.
“What filthy beast dares lay its hands on my Cheng Family ancestor’s treasure?!”
River-Severing Sword Strike!
But in the next instant, sothing Cheng Zhenjiang had never expected happened.
Xiao Teng appeared like a madman, and his incomparably dense Vital Blood blocked the River-Severing Sword Strike.
Relying on his powerful hard-body physique, he took Cheng Zhenjiang’s attack head-on.
“You cannot attack!”
Cheng Zhenjiang stared wide-eyed. “Have you gone mad?! That beast just swallowed Ancestor Cheng Yuan’s treasure!”
Xiao Teng shook his head fiercely, all trace of his earlier conciliatory manner gone.
“This is a mystic beast nurtured within my inheritance secret realm. If you dare harm it, I will fight you to the death!”
This was the hope of Prince Qing’s descendants. How could he allow anyone to turn blade and sword against it!
“Then what about Ancestor Cheng Yuan’s treasure?”
Cheng Zhenjiang was panicking now as well, with none of the magnanimity a great hero ought to have left in him.
He threatened, “If you cannot produce that thing, then without my help, today will mark the beginning of the extermination of Prince Qing’s descendants!”
Xiao Teng nodded. “I will naturally give you an explanation regarding that item.”
With that said, he turned excitedly to look at the white snake, Susu, then slowly approached her.
“Mystic beast!”
Susu looked oddly at the man who had blocked the attack for her. She could not shake the feeling that there was sothing ill-intentioned in his gaze.
She twisted her body and edged backward.
When Xiao Teng saw the white snake shrinking away from him, disappointnt and confusion imdiately appeared on his face.
Why was a mystic beast nurtured within the ancestral secret realm so hostile toward him?
At that mont, Cheng Yu saw through Xiao Teng’s thoughts and spoke indifferently.
“Mystic beasts are born to seek fortune and avoid calamity. Your Vital Blood is like that of a terrifying giant beast. Of course she wants to keep her distance.”
“What did you say?”
Xiao Teng had not expected Cheng Yu to speak at a ti like this, but inwardly, he found the explanation convincing.
Better to believe it than not!
“Then what should I do?”
A faint smile appeared on Cheng Yu’s face.
“Very simple. A hard-body martial artist like you is brimming with Vital Blood in flesh and blood. To a Demon Beast, that is the greatest tonic of all. If you cut your flesh and let your blood flow, she will definitely co over on her own.”
Xiao Teng’s eyes widened. “Is that true?”
Sitting at the center of the Blood Pool Grand Array, Cheng Yu looked utterly unconcerned. “Believe it or don’t.”
Though the two of them were mortal enemies, Xiao Teng clearly looked ready to try it.
Cheng Zhenjiang imdiately sensed that sothing was wrong. “Brother Xiao, do not listen to this unfilial son’s deception. He grew up without discipline and is full of sches!”
Cutting flesh and bleeding himself to feed a beast—how could such a thing be done lightly?
Xiao Teng froze where he stood and hesitated as he looked at the still-wary Susu.
But in the next mont, Cheng Yu’s calm voice rang out.
“Exactly. If I were not full of sches, how could I have made it this far? Unlike Great Hero Cheng, who has powerful backing and Grandmaster within reach, I naturally have no choice but to risk my own body.”
The mont those words were spoken, Xiao Teng’s expression changed several tis.
This was his hope of breaking through to Grandmaster!
A well-fed man knew nothing of the hunger of the starving. How could Cheng Zhenjiang possibly stop him with just a few casual words?
Having made up his mind, Xiao Teng restrained his Vital Blood and used one hand like a blade to slash viciously across the other.
At once, blood poured out like a stream, and thick, pure blood flowed from the wound.
Susu’s eyes lit up at once, and sure enough, she slowly slithered toward Xiao Teng.
It’s working!
Xiao Teng was overjoyed.
As long as he captured this mystic beast, he would have hope of Grandmaster!
The closer Susu ca, the more excited he beca, and he forced even more blood out of the wound.
At this mont, even the losses caused by the drain of his blood essence seed worth it.
At last, as he watched Susu crawl right up before him, the joy in Xiao Teng’s eyes was almost spilling over.
“My fortuitous opportunity...”
SMACK!
A tail as thick as a giant pillar suddenly appeared and slamd viciously into Xiao Teng’s body.
Having voluntarily withdrawn the Vital Blood protecting his body, Xiao Teng was blasted backward and smashed heavily into the ground, shattering it apart.
The trendous force injured his internal organs, and he trembled as he forced himself upright.
In shock, he raised his head and looked at Susu, who had transford into a colossal serpent over a hundred zhang long.
Susu revealed a strange smile.
This man was truly stupid. One lie from the Boss, and he had been played until he spun in circles.
Amid Cheng Zhenjiang and Xiao Teng’s astonishnt, Susu lowered her enormous head and gently nestled beside Cheng Yu.
With her tongue, she brought out the Bronze Turtle Statue and obediently placed it into Cheng Yu’s hand.
Only then did Cheng Zhenjiang and Xiao Teng understand.
This creature was in league with Cheng Yu!
Xiao Teng spat out a mouthful of blood. “You! You deceived !”
Stroking the hard white scales on Susu’s body, Cheng Yu wore a calm smile.
“What did I deceive you about? She really does like your blood. It’s just that I do not keep Demon Beasts that have tasted human blood.”
Susu nodded seriously.
She liked it, but she would not touch human blood!
Seeing one man and one snake so intimate, Xiao Teng spat out another large mouthful of blood!
His hope of Grandmaster was gone again!
As for Cheng Zhenjiang, when he saw Cheng Yu obtain the Bronze Turtle Statue, his expression imdiately turned extrely unnatural.
Cheng Yuan’s inheritance was useless in Prince Qing’s hands. If it stayed there, it was nothing more than safekeeping, so he had never worried about it.
But if it landed in the hands of soone with Cheng Family blood, then it would beco a coveted prize!
If Cheng Yu accepted the inheritance, what would Feng’er do?
At this mont, he could not even be bothered to investigate how Cheng Yu had gotten involved with such a Great Demon.
In agitation, he shouted, “Unfilial son, hand that thing over at once! Didn’t you say you were severing ties with ? How dare you lay hands on the ancestor’s secret treasure?!”
Since he had severed ties with the Cheng Family, then he was not allowed to accept its bloodline inheritance!
Cheng Yu imdiately arched a brow. Was this man trying to morally blackmail him?
He flashed a wicked smile. “You hypocrite, unworthy of being called human. By your logic, do you also plan to stop speaking the language created by humanity’s ancestors?”
Cheng Zhenjiang instantly flew into a rage. “What did you say?!”
He had been respected throughout the Jianghu for his entire life, yet he had never imagined that his own son would repeatedly humiliate him by calling him a hypocrite.
It was both pitiful and hateful.
“Besides, I’m not accepting the inheritance.”
Cheng Yu shook his head and raised the Bronze Turtle Statue.
Cheng Zhenjiang was instantly overjoyed. Cheng Yu was not accepting the inheritance!
Thank goodness. Feng’er still had hope!
But in the next second, Cheng Yu suddenly drew his Xiuchun Saber, cut open his palm, and let his blood drip onto the Bronze Turtle Statue.
“I’m only conducting a critical examination of that old thief Cheng Yuan’s inheritance, to see whether there is anything treasonous in it.”
“At this mont, it is rely the duty of the Jinyiwei.”
