Chapter 73.2 Blatant Scheme (2/2)
Chapter 73.2 Blatant Scheme (2/2)
“I’m here! I’m here!” The little boy cried tears of joy.
Alas, it was a pity that no one could see his face because his head was covered.
“Hold on a little longer! I’m coming!” Wang Ke cried out as he was approaching.
“Okay. Thank you! Thank you! I won’t be so arrogant and throw tantrums anymore. Thank you for saving me!” the little boy shouted while in tears.
He was the Sacred Child, and he was well aware of his own temper. But he had nothing to fear or worry about since he had the backing of the Demon Sovereign.
Only then did the Sacred Child experience the indifference of the human heart.
Those demons used to treat me with respect, but it’s all fake! All fake!Just as the snakes are about to bite me to death… No one! No one came to rescue me!None of them came!Was it because of me being too spoiled and arrogant?
There is only one. This man is coming to rescue me?
The Sacred Child was filled with gratitude for Wang Ke’s move. No one else had experienced such gratitude, because who else would have courted death for the sake of another? There was none, save for Wang Ke!
Wang Ke swam up to the little child, not sparing any time to check the little one’s identity. He supported the little boy’s chin and immediately swam back toward the edge.
The ferocious snakes swarmed on Wang Ke, and then… Then…!
The Sacred Child was able to sense that there were much fewer snakes biting him.
Is this man taking all those bites in my stead?He’s protecting me?
“Thank you! Thank you!” The Sacred Child was so touched that he cried.
Wang Ke swam for some time. He could only swim slowly because he’s pulling a child along.
By then the Sacred Child’s head cover started to melt away because of its special material, revealing his flustered and sobbing face.
Wang Ke swam up to the bank and shouted, “Quick, help us out!”
Wang Ke was not confident that Northern Gambling God and his gang would relent and spare him. Since he had just rescued a demon child, he was hoping that the other demons would obstruct them, so that he and the child could successfully get to safety.
The demons were at first surprised, seeing that Wang Ke had made it back safely from the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool. It was almost impossible.
Why? Why hasn’t Wang Ke died after being bitten? How can he still swim back? Why! Is the pool of venomous snakes fake? Are those snakes just props for the demons to scare the righteous disciples? So, nothing happens if someone jumps inside? Zhu Yan cursed in disbelief.
The furious Zhu Yan stretched out his hand and touched the pool water, but then a snake nearby immediately bit him.
“Ouch! That hurts! Let me go!” Zhu Yan shouted in shock as he flung the snake up onto the land.
“Piak!”
Zhu Yan smashed the snake dead, but his right hand was completely swollen; it had a blackish purple because of the venom.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Zhu Yan’s face turned purple while the crowd was cheering. He staggered and stumbled to reach a corner, where he started forcing the venom out from his body while vomiting black blood.
“Pfftt, why? Why am I always the one who gets hurt? Why is Wang Ke all right after getting bitten? Pfftt!” Zhu Yan tried his best to expel the toxins.
The crowd by the edge of the pool took a clear look at the child’s face.
“Ahh? The Sacred Child? How could the Sacred Child be here? Quick! Come and save the Sacred Child!” the demons cried out in dismay.
Everyone will get in big trouble if the Sacred Child dies today! The demons immediately felt anxious.
Fortunately, Wang Ke had already pushed the Sacred Child up to the edge.
The Sacred Child didn’t know how to swim, and his cultivation was weak. Still, his body seemed to be resistant against snake venom; he wasn’t like Zhu Yan, who was in a very bad shape after just one bite.
Wang Ke also got out of the pool once the Sacred Child was safe at ground level.
“Sacred Child?” Wang Ke looked at the kid he had saved in astonishment.
“Boohoo! Wahh~~~~~~~~~!”
The Sacred Child seemed to be traumatized; he bawled toward the sky.
“Big trouble!” The demons were immediately horrified.
The Sacred Child had almost died in front of them, and none of them showed care? The demons felt chilling sensations down their spines. Such a situation would spell big trouble; everyone was going to be punished. Thankfully Wang Ke rescued the Sacred Child from dying. This was the best outcome; all of them would be punished, but at least they wouldn’t need to die.
zzzzzzz
“Brother Wang, it’s all thanks to you!” All the demons looked at Wang Ke gratefully.
Wang Ke, “……………………………..!”
Where are the demons plotting against me?Why can’t I find any of them?Where are Northern Gambling God and Southern Gambling Saint?Why don’t I see them in the crowd?Why is everyone looking at me so gratefully?
Some… Something’s not right!Weren’t the Northern Gambling God and his men going to kill me in the open?This is already the end?
————–
The sky began to gradually light up.
Northern Gambling God, Southern Gambling Saint and another group of demons were looking toward the prison complex from the gate of Tong An’an’s hall.
“Chapter Lord, the time is almost right. The Sacred Child should already be dead by now; either he drowned, or he died from the snakes’ bites!” said Northern Gambling God toward the great hall.
“Right. The Sacred Child’s head cover should have been melted already. Everyone should know it was the Sacred Child who died!”
“It would be too late by the time they went to rescue him. He’s already a corpse!”
“Who would even dare to jump down into the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool? Other than interrupting Parlor Lord Zhu’s isolated cultivation, there’s nothing they can do except to watch!”

……….
The demons who plotted against Wang Ke were excited, waiting for Tong An’an to speak.
Tong An’an then walked out from the hall, still holding a glass of blood essence in his hand. He felt satisfied as he looked at his trusted subordinates.
“Even though the process has been rough, the task you have accomplished is quite satisfying. The Sacred Child is dead? Ha, good. Let’s go. Let’s avenge the Sacred Child!” Tong An’an said with hopeful eyes.
“Yes, Chapter Lord! Let’s kill Wang Ke to avenge the Sacred Child!” the demons responded in excitement.
“Hahahahaha!”
Tong An’an took his group of demons along toward the Divine Dragon Island’s prison complex, while bursting in laughter.
