Chapter 442: Really Stupid, Dissatisfied with Me
Cai Yueguan was still hesitating whether she should escape. After all, at this moment, there was only a young Taoist priest Chong Jing watching her in Shenjing Palace, and Chong Jing obviously had no way to stop her.
However, she had followed the Great Immortal Jin Ting to collect moonlight, and had personally experienced the Great Immortal Jin Ting's abilities. The boundless moonlight was like the emperor's flowing sap, possessing inexhaustible divine power.
Even her mother Fang Zhu did not have such ability. She had also told Jin Ting Daxian that her family lived in Chaoyin Cave. If Jin Ting Daxian chased her to Chaoyin Cave, wouldn't her mother and sister be implicated as well?
After much deliberation, Cai Yueguan still had not made up his mind until the Immortal Jin Ting came back.
Fortunately, the immortal Jin Ting returned and the black dragon descended from the sky to help her make a decision.
This was a good thing, as it saved her from a lot of suffering. Since she had already agreed with the Great Immortal Jin Ting to help him collect moonlight to forge the divine sword, she could just focus on her work. Once the Great Immortal Jin Ting had refined the divine sword, he would surely send her home.
If Officer Cai Lei heard her thinking this, he would probably laugh until his stomach hurt.
The Heavenly Thunder Pill had already been refined, so what was the life of a Thunder Collector these days? Not only did he have to collect Heavenly Thunder Essence every day, but he also had to work with two burdens. If he didn't collect enough, he would be beaten.
Naive, really naive.
Cai Lei Guan and Cai Yue Guan had no one to rely on, and they could not resist the Great Immortal Jin Ting, so naturally they had no idea what to do, nor did they dare to think of anything.
But the prince of Taihu Water Palace is different.
The Taihu God is a fourth-grade dragon god. He is a real dragon himself and possesses extraordinary magical powers. As he is a god, he can borrow the power of Taihu Lake.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting is only a fifth-rank demon. Even though his methods are strange, the God of Taihu is still one step ahead of him. This is the confidence he has in dealing with the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
With this in mind, Du Heng served the Taihu God every day after returning from Shenjing Palace.
The Taihu Lake God was very interested in what they had learned, so Du Heng cried, "That Jinting Great Immortal hasn't taught us anything at all. Not only has he not taught us anything, but he's also forced us to help him gather Heavenly Thunder Essence for cultivation every day. If we don't gather enough, he'll whip us, leaving us covered in wounds."
Du Heng felt extremely aggrieved and could only rely on the Taihu God to help him vent his anger. Finally, he realized how good his father was and began to act coquettishly in front of him like he did when he was a child, hoping to regain his father's favor.
It’s a pity that the God of Taihu is no longer the same God of Taihu, and Du Heng is no longer the same Du Heng.
The Taihu God simply looked at him and asked, "So you've suffered so much for so many days, but you haven't learned anything?"
Du Heng felt extremely aggrieved. He looked at the Taihu God, not understanding what he was supposed to learn. The fox demon hadn't taught him anything, so what could he possibly learn?
The God of Taihu was faintly angry. He could guess the intentions of the Great Immortal Jin Ting just by listening to his methods, but Du Heng actually said that he had learned nothing. How stupid and dull he was!
Tie Chen said quickly, "Foster father, Brother Heng is very intelligent. It's true that Mr. Jin Ting makes us collect the essence of heavenly thunder every day, and his methods are harsh, but Brother Heng's ability to regulate yin and yang and mobilize spiritual energy has indeed improved greatly."
Tie Chen nudged Du Heng and said, "Brother Heng, aren't you able to control your mind and wind and thunder more smoothly now?"
Du Heng said, "This is a skill I was born with. What does it have to do with that fox demon? You're speaking for that fox demon again. Did I not whip you enough?"
Hearing that Du Heng did not gain nothing, but still acted like this, the God of Taihu felt a headache.
Tie Chen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so he bowed and said, "Foster father, I'll take my leave first."
The Taihu God waved his hand and said, "Go."
Du Heng was left in the Divine Palace to talk with the Taihu God. Du Heng served tea and water to the old dragon and, without any instruction, learned to massage the old dragon's shoulders. He begged, "Father, I don't want to go back to the Divine Palace. That fox demon is ruthless. Many times I thought I was going to be beaten to death by him."
He really wanted to find some wounds as evidence, but unfortunately, although the bite of Taixu Evil Wind was painful, the dragon species itself recovered faster. They bathed in thunder in the clouds every day to hone their magic power, and recovered even faster. He also carried elixirs with him, so there was no way he could leave any wounds.
Without clear evidence, he could only swear and say, "Father, please tell that fox demon that I will be cultivating in the Water Palace and won't be going to his place anymore, okay? I promise, I will cultivate well and won't make you angry again."
Since Du Heng grew up, he had never been as obedient as he was today. The Taihu God enjoyed Du Heng's shoulder massage and back rubs, thinking that it was just a father-son relationship. But unfortunately, this kid didn't really mean it, and was just acting like this to avoid the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
It was precisely because of the Immortal Jin Ting that the father and son, who were already at odds with each other, had a chance to turn things around.
The Taihu God took Du Heng's hand and said, "Heng'er, you and I have already made an agreement with the Great Immortal Jin Ting, and you have also accepted him as your teacher. Now you are breaking your promise and going back on your words. Isn't this the behavior of a mean person?"
Du Heng understood the implication of his words and immediately became anxious. He said, "You just won't help me! You don't care that I'm suffering in Shenjing Palace!"
The Taihu God said, "I will talk to Mr. Jin Ting and ask him not to be so harsh. He is a strict teacher, but he is truly capable. I would be very happy if you could learn more skills from him."
Du Heng was furious and said, "You're not on my side, but on that fox demon's side!"
The Taihu God asked, "Have you improved your magical powers? Have you increased your spiritual attainments? Have your magical abilities become more refined? Heng'er, you've wasted too much time in the past. If you don't practice diligently, how will you inherit the throne of the Water God in the future?"
Du Heng sneered, "Practice, practice, practice. Besides practice, what else can you say? I can't be the Water God, just let Tie Chen do it!"
Bang!
"Asshole!" The Taihu God slapped Du Heng in the face and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Du Heng covered his face and said bitterly, "You are just satisfied that Tiechen is obedient and sensible, satisfied that he practices diligently and never slacks off, and satisfied that he can be a good Taihu General and handle the affairs of the Water Palace."
Du Heng looked at the Taihu God and said, "No matter how satisfied you are with him, he is not your son. I am your son, yet you are never satisfied with me and think I am inferior to him in everything!"
The Taihu God flew into a rage and said, "Rebellious son, am I not guarding this throne for you? I am letting you practice cultivation out of consideration for you!"
Du Heng sneered and said, "For me, or for yourself?"
Du Heng walked out of the temple without looking back and never looked at the Taihu God again.
"Rebellious son!" The Taihu God overturned the jade table and pushed the throne to the ground. He was filled with anger and hatred, but could only curse: "Rebellious son!"
The father and son parted on bad terms.
Du Heng failed to convince the God of Taihu Lake and angered him, so he naturally could not escape the fate of being sent back to Shenjing Palace.
As soon as the third day arrived, the thunder official came to the Water Palace to pick people up on time.
He handed over the visiting card, and soon the Taihu God came out in person with Du Heng and Tie Chen.
The Thunder Officer half-closed his eyes and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Taihu God looked at his biological son and adopted son and said, "Go and study hard."
Tie Chen said respectfully: "Foster father, I'll go first."
Tie Chen walked over to the Thunder Officer, leaving Du Heng standing with the Taihu God. The Taihu God looked at Du Heng, and the hatred in his eyes pierced him.
He wanted to say something, but nothing came out. He could only say, "Go, one day you will understand."
Du Heng sneered and said nothing.
