Chapter 285: Making Trouble
After my thoughts were pulled back from memories of past lives, just as we were throwing meat into the pot, Nali Duo and Sasuke arrived with bags and packages.
Besides getting me those two bags of sweet potatoes, these two actually brought me several big bags of Liuliu plum. My god…
Upon seeing me, and fearing that my previous intentional act of spitting blood might have caused some damage, they even asked me;
“Senior, are you alright?”
“Yes, senior. We saw you spitting so much blood earlier, are you alright? If you are truly alright, then please have some Liuliu plum.”
I was speechless…
After accepting their gifts, it just happened to be mealtime. Since they were here, I invited them to sit down and have a drink. Although these two are a bit unusual, I have seen that even among special types of humans, there can be a small portion of people with righteous hearts.
Before, when I was idle at the tavern, I used that kind of mortal communication tool to browse multimedia and saw a warrior. That warrior was also a resident of the small island, but after going to Huaxia and understanding what their race had done back then, he returned to the island and cursed all of them every day. He hated them so much that even when he was captured, he was still cursing; “You are all idiots, you bastards, you bunch of scoundrels, you dogs.”
At that time, I evaluated him as a righteous person, someone who could understand principles and distinguish right from wrong in major issues.
There are also historical accounts that some people joined Huaxia’s forces to confront invaders from their own race. I truly admire such people from the bottom of my heart. Therefore, no matter my feelings towards the leaders of the small island, it doesn’t affect my acceptance of those who have justice in their hearts.
But even so!!!
I will still remember in my heart that one should not have malicious intent towards others, and one must guard against others. When being human and acting, it’s good to leave some room for yourself, after all, very few people can truly take out their hearts and show them to you without any hiding.
“Come, come! Dragon King Senior, we toast you.”
“Chan Xin Senior, we also toast you.”
This meal was quite lively. Nali Duo and Sasuke were quite adept at social graces. This guy toasted the Old Dragon King, then toasted me. They themselves didn’t pretend, as if their wives weren’t home, and it was their excellent tradition of being good men to let loose occasionally.
These brothers really didn’t stand on ceremony. They drank without even needing to be urged. It’s clear they must have been cooped up at home.
Seeing them like this, how could I, Laozi, be stingy? As we drank, I took out a gourd from my arms and told Little Third Son to get a big basin to catch peanuts. Today, I’ll let them eat to their fill. Damn it, Big Brother is this generous. Anyway, I have plenty of peanuts. If I really run out, at worst, I’ll go to the Heavenly Court to see if there are any wild cows or something. Hahahaha.
After three rounds of wine and five courses, we gradually became more familiar with each other.
However, there was a tacit understanding that no one would inquire about each other’s family matters or talk about romantic entanglements. We all relied on bragging, and in addition, we chatted about cultivation and our own comprehension.
Nali Duo said; “Senior, I’m not bragging, but back then, I was a second-generation official. But my parents passed away early, and they didn’t leave any inheritance. The reason I’ve managed to get to where I am today is because I have a true heart towards others and a sincere, aspiring spirit. My life’s motto is, to do what I say, that is my ninja way.
It’s not that I’m talking nonsense after drinking, Senior. Don’t look at me living on the small island, but if you say you hate the people on this small island, just watch. Later, I’ll transform into a Nine-Tailed Fox Demon and really mess them up.”
“Yes, Senior, I agree with what Nali Duo said. I’ve also long disliked the behavior of most people on the island. Just give us a word, and Nali Duo and I will mess them up. At that time, when Nali Duo transforms into a nine-tailed fox, I’ll use my Susanoo to help Nali Duo mess them up. They’ve really been spoiled. Nali Duo and I used to perform cartoons for them when we were kids, advocating for peace and not wanting common people to fall into the vortex of war. But look at them, they’re always causing trouble, harming others without benefiting themselves. Even though Nali Duo and I are the same race as them, my brother and I truly hate these fools. It’s like all those years of cartoons we performed were in vain. These guys haven’t learned to restrain themselves at all,” Sasuke also said.
Hearing this, I burst into laughter and didn’t take it seriously, just thinking of it as idle chatter after drinking.
Seeing me like this, they thought I didn’t believe them. Their impulsive temper flared up, and each of them downed a glass of wine on the spot.
Afterwards, Nali Duo said again; “Senior, you don’t believe us, do you? Just wait for my brother and me for a moment.”
Before I could say anything, the two of them rushed out of the Dragon Palace in a flurry. The Dragon King and I exchanged glances and followed behind.
My goodness, these two are really something! They directly went to the sea near the small island and staged a scene of fratricide, with a great deal of clashing and fighting.
Nali Duo told Sasuke to turn back, and Sasuke said he was going to be some kind of Hokage or something. They had this inexplicable fight.
After fighting back and forth, they were fine, but the small island was miserable. Fierce winds howled, and the earth shook. They fought for over half a day. Finally, they returned to the Dragon Palace, and Nali Duo asked me; “Senior, do you have that kind of mortal communication device, the thing called a mobile phone?”
I said; “Yes, why?”
Nali Duo and Sasuke heard my words and both looked at me with smiles, which completely confused me.
Sasuke said; “Senior, open your phone and take a look, hahahaha. That small island had an earthquake, at least a magnitude four, within a radius of about five kilometers. If you’re not satisfied, my brother and I will go again later.”
Hearing this, I was stunned. Damn, these two little bastards actually went and caused trouble?
I pulled out my phone in disbelief and took a look. Holy crap, it’s true. I…
How can I explain this? I didn’t say anything, I didn’t say a word, so why did they just do it? Although a magnitude four earthquake doesn’t have a large impact, it is still an earthquake. The focal depth of a magnitude four earthquake is usually shallow, and the seismic waves travel a shorter distance. However, in urban areas, such an earthquake can still cause minor building damage, such as falling tiles and cracked walls, creating safety hazards. These two kids really weren’t just bragging after a drink!
If I show even a slight hint of displeasure, who knows what these two will do if they go again!
Big Brother is speechless. Why are they so impulsive? They just went after having a drink? I didn’t ask them to cause trouble. Cough cough cough.
