NOVEL NEXT Chapter 804: Insulting Demon
The barks-at-heaven dog was being insulted by the Insulting Demon, baring its fangs but unable to insult back. Enraged, it went in for a bite.
Yi Zheng quickly snatched the Insulting Demon away: "Don't bite, this thing might be useful in the future."
"Useful to your uncle? Or to desecrate your chrysanthemum? Bah!" the Insulting Demon started hurling insults directly.
Yi Zheng's face turned completely dark, but he understood now; the Insulting Demon couldn't distinguish friend from foe. It would spew insults at anyone speaking nearby!
Yi Zheng hurriedly tried to throw it into his backpack, but the system prompted that special items couldn't be stored!
Yi Zheng suddenly realized why someone had discarded this item; it couldn't be stored in a backpack or a Sumeru Bag, it had to be carried along.
This basically meant you'd get insulted as soon as you opened your mouth!
No one likes being insulted, who would carry this thing around!
Perhaps, this thing wasn't thrown by our assailant... maybe it was just picked up by that dead dog by coincidence.
Looking at the Insulting Demon in his hand, Yi Zheng hesitated to throw it away, a part of him felt it had great potential uses.
Just then, the barks-at-heaven dog patted his shoulder and gestured, leaving Yi Zheng slightly confused. The barks-at-heaven dog transmitted thoughts one-on-one: "Rabbit, just throw that thing away! Do you want to be insulted everywhere you go? I don't."
Before Yi Zheng could respond, the Insulting Demon opened its mouth again: "Throw your damn ***, you dumb ***, your parents are **!"
The barks-at-heaven dog became a shade darker with anger, while Yi Zheng was shocked looking at the Insulting Demon; this thing could even hear one-on-one transmitted thoughts, it was a bit perverse!
It's known that one-to-one distant transmissions, much like private chat between players, is super encrypted.
Maybe some can break such encryption, but those are terrifying beings, like the Queen Mother of the West and her ilk.
Yet the Insulting Demon in front of him, merely a one-star Divine Grade Treasure, could eavesdrop on distant transmissions.
If used well, it would definitely be a Divine Artifact!
But this thing insults at anything it hears, so carrying it around would mean having to act mute.
Looking at the Insulting Demon in his hand, Yi Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh and laughed.
If the Insulting Demon insults upon hearing, what if it couldn't hear?
Yi Zheng tore off two tufts of hair, rolled them into balls, and stuffed them into the Insulting Demon's ears.
Finally, Yi Zheng turned around and kicked the barks-at-heaven dog beside him. The barks-at-heaven dog reflexively cursed: "Damn rabbit, why the hell did you kick me?"
As soon as it spoke, the Insulting Demon glared at the barks-at-heaven dog and began raining insults: "What's wrong with kicking you, you dumbass? You big ***@#￥...&*"
Yi Zheng quickly covered its mouth, but to no avail, the insults still resounded through the sky, already cursing Yi Zheng's ancestors over eighteen generations.
It insulted for a full minute before the Insulting Demon shut its mouth.
The barks-at-heaven dog was so insulted it was about to fight, Yi Zheng hurriedly took the Insulting Demon and hid behind Jidian, narrowly avoiding disaster.
Looking at the Insulting Demon in his hand, Yi Zheng was puzzled; could it be that this thing doesn't rely on hearing?
Reflecting on the previous situation, could it see lip movements?
Yi Zheng then covered the Insulting Demon's eyes, then looked at the barks-at-heaven dog, who cunningly covered its mouth with a paw, acting as if it wouldn't speak no matter what.
Yi Zheng looked to Jidian, but Jidian had already run far off.
Yi Zheng had no choice but to try it himself, he took a deep breath: "Dumbass, say something."
To Yi Zheng, Jidian, and the barks-at-heaven dog's surprise, after waiting a while, the Insulting Demon didn't make a sound!
Yi Zheng was immediately delighted: "Hahaha, so that's it, that's it! This thing not only relies on hearing, but also sight. As long as it can't see or hear, it won't react."
With this thought, Yi Zheng happily hung the Insulting Demon at his waist, he had a plan. In the future, when encountering the oblivious, he would insult them first, then release the Insulting Demon to insult them until they couldn't fend for themselves!
At worst, he could gather snippets of their secret conversations from the Insulting Demon's mouth.
Seeing Yi Zheng more or less figured it out, Jidian patted Yi Zheng's head and said: "Let's go, the Divine Beast conference starts at noon.
All the damned perished yesterday, it won't be as crowded today."
Yi Zheng felt a chill down his spine upon hearing this: "What's that supposed to mean?"
The barks-at-heaven dog said: "Literal meaning, the ones left for the Divine Beast conference are truly powerful, those without it were taken out last night. You should be thankful to follow us, having backup, otherwise with that body of yours, you'd have been turned into manure by now."
"You're the manure, you dung-eating thing, spewing foul gases #￥%*****"
The Insulting Demon at Yi Zheng's waist spewed curses that echoed through the clouds!
The barks-at-heaven dog didn't expect this dead rabbit to have uncovered the Insulting Demon's eyes, causing its eyes to bulge in rage.
Yi Zheng covered the Insulting Demon's eyes again, then feigned innocence saying: "Oops, I accidentally uncovered it, barks-at-heaven dog, what were you just saying?"
Seeing Yi Zheng grasping the red cloth covering the Insulting Demon's eyes, the barks-at-heaven dog couldn't utter a word it intended to insult with, merely snorted twice before swinging its tail and trotting ahead.
Yi Zheng contentedly patted the Insulting Demon's head, smiling as he followed along.
He was growing increasingly satisfied with this Insulting Demon!
After crossing a few small hills, they arrived on the highest peak amidst the mountains, where an incredibly gigantic stone had the words 'Five Mountains Venerable' inscribed!
And just below those four words was a flat clearing, where stone tables and chairs had been arranged. Pitchers of wine and platters of fruits were placed on the tables, maids bustled about, laying out some small dishes...
Some Divine Beasts had arrived early, transforming into human form and taking seats, toasting each other and laughing as if they were long-lost friends.
Yi Zheng couldn't help but mutter: "These old buggers sure can pretend, backstabbing each other yesterday night, then waking up as friends today... tsk tsk... no shame at all."
The barks-at-heaven dog whispered: "If they had any shame or spirit, they wouldn't have been surpassed by us who aren't originally Divine Beasts. These guys purely rely on the system's power for their status. Give me a few more years, and they'll all call me daddy."
Yi Zheng gave him a sideways glance: "I didn't know your sexual orientation was so complex."
The barks-at-heaven dog glared: "Damn rabbit, you..."
Yi Zheng immediately reached for the Insulting Demon, making the barks-at-heaven dog shut its mouth in frustration. It regretted for the first time throwing the Insulting Demon away; had it known its deterrent power, it would have kept it.
Jidian patted the heads of the bickering pair: "Amitabha, let's go."
As Jidian stepped forward, Yi Zheng noticed this monk, who seemed a bit lazy and even somewhat rogue, suddenly stood tall with chest out, bathed in Buddha Light, exuding benevolence and righteousness...
