Chapter 39: Another Head
Depressed Panda: “…”
Wang Ming: “…”
Depressed Panda puffed up, then deflated.
Wang Ming: “…”
If I didn’t know this guy’s true form was a panda, I might have thought he was a sentient air pump, Wang Ming thought.
Meanwhile, Depressed Panda was also a little flustered.
Depressed Panda had just thought of a rebuttal to Wang Ming’s statement, then immediately realized it was untenable.
Depressed Panda: “…”
I can’t even refute him, Depressed Panda thought for a long time, only coming up with this useless sentence.
“Your situation…is rather special,” Depressed Panda said after some thought.
“It’s like…a once-in-a-hundred-years…once-in-a-thousand-years…once-in-ten-thousand-years…even a recluse wouldn’t encounter it kind of thing.”
Depressed Panda was clearly baffled by Wang Ming’s cleverness. His speech became rambling, completely losing the air of a sophisticated socialite he previously exuded.
Wang Ming: “…”
This is perhaps what they call a Heaven’s Chosen One, Wang Ming thought. Since Heaven treats me like its favorite son, I guess I have no choice but to call it “Dad.”
“Wait, I think I’ve found something.”
Just as Wang Ming was about to accept his destiny as a “salty fish king,” Depressed Panda seemed to finally find a theoretical foothold, perked up, and continued discussing the problem with Wang Ming.
“Although Heaven has given you so many ‘salty fish king’ attributes, you don’t actually intend to accept them, right?”
Knowing that Wang Ming was determined to divorce Ao Chen, Depressed Panda, like a mischievous little imp, said this.
“Yeah,” Wang Ming nodded matter-of-factly.
“That’s it! Maybe you’re inherently a straight-laced guy, destined by Heaven,” Depressed Panda shrugged, relieved.
“Although fate gave you a buff, you’re abandoning the resources fate gave you. Isn’t that just like the saying in the paranormal world: there are no ‘lying-flat’ salty fish?”
As Depressed Panda spoke, he felt confident again, even though he had been questioning life just moments before.
Wang Ming: “…”
While Wang Ming and Depressed Panda were discussing Heaven’s will, on the other side, the visitor who looked nothing like a prince despite wearing a dragon robe continued his sarcastic remarks.
“Ao Chen, although we brothers number in the thousands, none of us are as successful as you, but I’ve recently made significant progress in my cultivation,” the visitor in the dragon robe boasted.
Everyone else reacted normally except Wang Ming.
Wang Ming’s reaction was one of utter bewilderment.
Wang Ming: “…”
“He said…how many brothers do they actually have?” Wang Ming pondered for a moment, then asked Depressed Panda beside him.
“I haven’t counted, probably around ten thousand,” Depressed Panda said nonchalantly.
Wang Ming: “…”
Wow, Wang Ming thought inwardly, This is what they call brotherhood across the four seas!
“Is it cloning, or mitosis?” Wang Ming wondered aloud.
Depressed Panda: “…”
“Dragons, well… haven’t you heard the saying, dragons are inherently… uh…” Depressed Panda hesitated, seeming to find the phrase difficult to utter.
Wang Ming: “…”
“Dragons are inherently…? But why is Ao Chen’s surname Ao?” Wang Ming looked at Depressed Panda in confusion.
Depressed Panda: “…”
“Think about it, why do dragons have so many offspring?” Unable to say it directly, Depressed Panda changed his approach, trying to guide Wang Ming to the answer himself.
“Because dragons don’t use protection?” Wang Ming suggested.
Depressed Panda: “…”
Depressed Panda decided to abandon the topic and summarized his thoughts.
“Forget it, maybe you’ll find out later,” Depressed Panda said.
“Or maybe you won’t,” Depressed Panda added, meticulously presenting the other possibility.
Wang Ming: “…”
So my understanding is Schrödinger’s fact, huh? Wang Ming thought sarcastically, but didn’t take it too seriously.
A prominent trait of Wang Ming’s personality is his lack of attachment to anything; in a way, he’d reached a level of invincibility.
While Wang Ming and Depressed Panda played riddle-guessers, on the other side, the visitor in the dragon robe continued his monologue.
“Don’t you want to see my cultivation achievements?” the visitor in the dragon robe boasted to Ao Chen.
“No, thank you,” Ao Chen politely declined, shaking his head.
The visitor in the dragon robe: “…”
Wang Ming: “…”
Depressed Panda: “…”
“Is your master always this blunt?” Wang Ming whispered to Depressed Panda.
“It’s alright, that’s already quite polite,” Depressed Panda considered.
Wang Ming: “…”
“Ao Chen, you don’t want to see my cultivation achievements, are you scared?” Just as Wang Ming was speechless, he heard the visitor in the dragon robe again, subtly insulting Wang Ming’s fiancé.
“If thinking that makes you feel better, then think that,” Ao Chen nodded, responding calmly.
Wang Ming: “…”
That’s the legendary “four ounces deflects a thousand pounds,” huh? Learned it, learned it, Wang Ming inwardly admired.
“Ao Chen, you probably don’t know, but recently Father granted me another territory, and that’s where my cultivation greatly improved.”
After an awkward silence, the visitor in the dragon robe once again summoned his courage to boast in front of Ao Chen.
This time, however, he seemed to have learned his lesson. He didn’t give Ao Chen a chance to interrupt, but instead twisted his long neck, extending it out like a ridiculously long neck, looking like a sentient screaming chicken.
Wang Ming: “…”
Wow, getting to see a sci-fi blockbuster without buying a ticket is insane, Wang Ming thought, and taking advantage of the opportunity, instead of being afraid, he moved closer, hoping for an IMAX-like viewing experience.
However, as Wang Ming approached, the visitor in the dragon robe suddenly circled his neck in the air, and another head grew near his original head.
Wang Ming: “…”
“Did your relative recently go to Japan for training?” Wang Ming looked at the unbelievable scene, thought for a moment, and asked Ao Chen in a moderate voice.
