Chapter 485: Stunned!
Stunned! . . .
"What? Is Master Meng famous in the Human Realm Upon Heavens?" Cha Eun Xiao inquired with astonishment. He noted the expressions of the people around him and deduced that Meng Huaiqing must be quite well-known.
Cha Eun Xiao believed that the more famous Meng Huaiqing was, the better it would be for his friend. The greater her renown, the more powerful her support in that realm.
"Famous?" Ling Wuxie couldn't believe his ears. His mouth hung open, and he gasped for breath, struggling to find the right words. He began coughing uncontrollably, his coughs so intense that snot and tears streamed from his eyes.
It was quite straightforward, really.
[Is Meng Huaiqing famous?]
[Well-known?]
Ling Wuxie took a deep breath and coughed some more.
Meng Huaiqing was no ordinary figure. She was a superstar, a queen in the Human Realm Upon Heavens.
[Well-known? She's not just well-known; she's legendary!]
[She's the wife of one of the Dominators!]
[Is she famous enough now?]
[There's no one in the universe who dares to cross Meng Huaiqing! She is the true untouchable figure in the entire universe!]
Feng Monarch had mentioned her name so casually.
[Do you dare to be more casual than that?]
Ling Wuxie felt an overwhelming urge to use the restroom due to the shock. He was acutely aware of the perilous situation.
[If the Queen ever discovers my involvement here, she won't need to do anything but tell my father... He'll hang me...]
[This is far too risky!]
[I'm terrified!]
"Feng Monarch... You don't understand... Master Meng... Cough..." Ling Wuxie coughed as he clutched his chest and struggled to articulate his words. "In the Human Realm Upon Heavens, she's an incredibly influential figure... Nobody dares to mess with her... Cough..."
Cha Eun Xiao felt relieved by Ling Wuxie's revelation. He relaxed and said, "That's good to hear. I've been worried that my friend might face difficulties up there..."
Ling Wuxie continued to cough, and snot and tears flowed freely. His world had been turned upside down.
[This is beyond powerful!]
[Who would dare to mistreat the Queen's disciple?]
[Everyone knows that the Queen searched for many years to find a suitable disciple. Now that she finally has one, that girl must be the most cherished person in her eyes!]
[The Queen would never allow anyone to harm her beloved disciple!]
"Even if Meng Wuzhen and I, along with seven or eight other cultivators, joined forces... we wouldn't even dare to entertain the thought of crossing her..."
"Otherwise, I think we'd be completely skinned alive."
"And that would be the best-case scenario!"
"If that girl bullies others, the Queen would probably be delighted to see it. She's always enjoyed a bit of bullying herself!"
Cha Eun Xiao half-closed his eyes and mused aloud, "Hmmm... a realm beyond the heavens... a realm above the heavens..." His eyes were half-closed as he appeared lost in profound contemplation, exuding an air of solemnity.
"A world beyond the heavens... even though it's several realms away, I will ultimately ascend to it!"
"Absolutely!"
"I will see what the true dominators beneath the heavens look like... If I can have a skirmish with them... then I will have no regrets in my life!"
"And if I win that battle, that would be even better!"
He entertained these thoughts but wisely refrained from voicing them. If Ling Wuxie were to learn of Cha Eun Xiao's dreams, especially the last part, he might well respond by spitting on him until he drowned in the folly of his aspirations.
His lips trembled at the prospect.
"Why would you even think that, even in your dreams?"
No one spoke.
Following the shock of the name, Lord Ling had completely forgotten the purpose of his visit. He opened his eyes in bewilderment, rolled them around, and racked his brains. Turning to Xiu-Er, he asked, "What did I want to say?"
Xiu-Er stared at him, thinking, [Did you seriously just ask me what you wanted to say?]
[Am I some mind reader?]
[Get off my back! You're not that close to me or to Wan-Er!]
[It must be embarrassing to admit that I know this guy. No wonder Master never mentioned his ridiculous friend.]
"Brother Ling... You said your name is Ling Wuxie," Cha Eun Xiao patiently reminded him.
"That's right, Brother Feng. Oh, Brother Feng!" Ling Wuxie enthusiastically grabbed Cha Eun Xiao's hand and spoke with utmost seriousness. "Brother Feng, you must remember my name. My name is Ling Wuxie. Ling from Ling Wuxie, Wu from Ling Wuxie, and Xie from Ling Wuxie."
Cha Eun Xiao's lips quivered as he contemplated the unusual introduction.
[Who introduces themselves like this?]
Wan-Er and Xiu-Er, for their part, lowered their heads, overcome by embarrassment.
