Chapter 1402: Chapter 1401: Two Choices!
"I was wrong! I really was wrong, I won’t dare again, I’m begging you, spare my life." Wasn’t that exactly it? At this moment, Chen Xingfeng was like a dog, crawling to the front of Shangguan Xingba, loudly begging, trying to get Shangguan Xingba to spare his life.
Seeing this scene, everyone regretfully shook their heads.
"He’s finished, Chen Xingfeng is completely finished. A堂堂super freak, actually kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy—after this he’ll never be able to lift his head in front of others again."
"Isn’t that so? Like this, his state of mind has already changed; his future path of cultivation will definitely become abnormally difficult."
"In this lifetime, his achievements won’t be anything great. I’d say where he is right now might be the peak of his entire life."
"This kind of thing is really too important for a Cultivator, and yet he actually grovels on his knees like a dog, begging for mercy? What future prospects can he possibly still have?"
...
Seeing Chen Xingfeng kneel and beg for mercy, seeing him right now scared like a dog, everyone knew that Chen Xingfeng was done for, completely done for.
From now on, even if Chen Xingfeng manages some achievements, they won’t be very high. This scene today destined that he will never amount to much in this lifetime.
Moreover, even if he wants to achieve something later, he’ll need some chance, to obtain a great stroke of fortune; otherwise, he’ll never have any real accomplishments.
On top of that, even if he begged for mercy, Shangguan Xingba might not even spare him. Whether he could live on or not was still very hard to say.
"Hahaha!" Seeing this, Shangguan Xingba laughed triumphantly, laughing so wildly there was no end to his arrogance.
"Where’s that earlier arrogance of yours? Where’s that earlier domineering attitude? Why is it all gone? I actually prefer that unruly look you had before." At the same time, Shangguan Xingba slapped Chen Xingfeng’s face, loudly despising him, loudly mocking him.
Right now, in Shangguan Xingba’s eyes, Chen Xingfeng was simply like a clown.
No... not even as good as a clown, completely at his mercy to pinch and squeeze to death.
"Serves him right, letting him try to snatch our Spiritual Rhythm Fruit. Look how it turned out? He didn’t get the Spiritual Rhythm Fruit, and he got beaten like a dead dog."
"Exactly... as long as it’s not him who gets it, anyone else can have it. Best if he just gets killed directly."
"So satisfying. If we could just kill him, that’d be perfect."
Seeing this, that group of women from before felt indescribably vented.
In their eyes, Shangguan Xingba had helped them vent their anger viciously, teaching this greedy Chen Xingfeng a harsh lesson.
Little did they know, Shangguan Xingba and Chen Xingfeng were the same kind of trash, maybe even more domineering than Chen Xingfeng, even more vile than him.
"Don’t say it like that, quiet down, don’t draw that guy’s attention." Hearing their words, the leading woman frowned and softly rebuked them.
She was a bit worried in her heart. This Shangguan Xingba would probably be even harder to deal with. If Shangguan Xingba noticed them, their situation might become even more difficult; she didn’t even dare imagine it.
"Don’t dare... in front of Young Master Shangguan, how would I dare?" Even though Shangguan Xingba’s words were extremely insulting, Chen Xingfeng didn’t dare resist at all, truly like a dog trying to please its master, having really thrown away every shred of dignity.
"Sigh! How did my shoe get dirty?" Seeing this, Shangguan Xingba was extremely pleased. This was exactly the effect he wanted, so he further humiliated Chen Xingfeng.
In his view, if under this level of humiliation Chen Xingfeng could still do as he was told, then his future achievements would not be worth mentioning, and he could consider sparing Chen Xingfeng.
Otherwise, today’s mercy might become tomorrow’s disaster. He had no intention of raising a tiger to invite calamity, of letting a future great enemy go.
"I’ll wipe... I’ll wipe it clean for Young Master Shangguan." With Shangguan Xingba’s words, Chen Xingfeng didn’t hesitate at all and started wiping Shangguan Xingba’s shoes, even better at currying favor than those people from before.
"Th-this is that lofty, high-above-us Chen Xingfeng from before? Are they really the same person?"
"I never would’ve thought, just to survive, Chen Xingfeng could actually go this far. This really goes beyond what I imagined."
"In the face of real death, anyone would do the same, right? Death is even more terrifying than we imagine, let alone for a peerless genius like him, whose future achievements should be much higher than ours. To just die like this, how could he be willing?"
"Exactly... death really is extremely terrifying, enough to force people to do anything. To cling to their lives, some people wouldn’t even hesitate to stab their own companions viciously in the back. That’s how sinister the human heart is!"
"Sigh! We can only say his luck is bad, that he ran into Shangguan Xingba!"
Seeing this scene, some people felt deep contempt for Chen Xingfeng.
Of course, there were also some who could understand him. They knew that in the face of death, anyone might do this kind of thing.
There were even more terrifying things that some people would gladly scamper off to do, let alone this.
And Chen Xingfeng, amidst Shangguan Xingba’s proud laughter, had already started polishing Shangguan Xingba’s shoes, wiping them so clean there was nothing more to say.
"Not bad, you really are like a proper dog." Looking at Chen Xingfeng’s dog-like lackey behavior, Shangguan Xingba was very satisfied in his heart.
"How about this: from now on you’ll just be a dog at my side. If you behave well, I’ll spare your life, and once we leave this place you’ll regain your freedom. How about it?" At the same time, Shangguan Xingba looked at Chen Xingfeng and ordered him in a humiliating tone.
Hearing this, everyone looked curiously at Chen Xingfeng. They really wanted to know whether he would agree.
"Who knows if he’ll agree? If he does, he’s in for it in the days to come."
"Exactly. As long as Shangguan Xingba isn’t pleased, he might just beat the crap out of him. Who could endure that?"
"And being a dog for so many days— for a genius, that’ll affect his state of mind and have a huge impact on his future path of cultivation; it could completely ruin his future cultivation."
"But if he doesn’t agree, he dies now. Then he really has nothing left. Let’s see what he chooses."
For a moment, everyone knew that Chen Xingfeng had fallen into a dilemma. No matter what he chose, his days wouldn’t be easy.
So everyone wanted to know what choice Chen Xingfeng would make.
Under everyone’s curious gazes, Chen Xingfeng’s expression changed again and again, looking like he was struggling very hard inside.
Right now, in Chen Xingfeng’s heart, there were two little figures constantly battling.
One of them urged him not to agree—this was a humiliation of the highest order for him.
The other urged him to endure it, otherwise his life would be gone. This made Chen Xingfeng’s face grow uglier and uglier...
