"Willow God, you almost scared me to death! If you were any slower, Master would have truly kicked the bucket!"
"It's good for him to learn a lesson, but that Azure Dragon Demon Emperor is powerful. Master's current form is restricted and indeed cannot withstand the Azure Dragon Demon Emperor's attacks. Otherwise, I would never have intervened until the last moment!"
Ri Tian stretched lazily.
"Willow God's intervention is naturally foolproof. Now there are a few more subordinates to command. If it were me, I would have swatted them away with a single palm!"
Willow God said, "Given Master's current predicament, these subordinates are enough for him to command. We must not act unless absolutely necessary. That little thing called Zhuzai does possess some strength!"
Ri Tian said disdainfully, "Something that can be squashed by a fart, what strength does it have? It's just that Master's mind is truly not very quick!"
Willow God: "Let's just consider him Master's training partner. His disciples have decent potential, but their strength is too poor. When will you few go and train them?"
Ri Tian: "There's no need for me to act on such trivial matters. You two fish, it's your turn to act. Stop chirping all day!"
Koi Girl: "Husband, that single dog is jealous of us!"
Koi Man: "You also said he's a single dog, no need to pay attention to him!"
Ri Tian: "Woof woof woof, don't bully dogs, or I'll bite you to death!"
Koi Man: "Heh, if you have the guts, come over here, I'll break your dog head off!"
Ri Tian: "Scram, I'm too lazy to bother with you two lovebirds!"
"Roar!!! Dead dog, say one more word, and I'll skin you alive today!"
A golden giant dragon soared from the lake.
Ri Tian's fur bristled, and he scurried under Willow God's tree.
"Come on, attack here if you dare!"
Looking at Ri Tian's annoying expression, the Koi Man gnashed his teeth in anger, but he did not dare to attack.
"Come out if you dare!"
"Come over if you dare!"
"You come out!"
"You come over!"
Willow God: "Alright, Master is back!"
The golden dragon transformed back into a koi and returned to the pond.
Ri Tian swaggered out from Willow God's shelter.
"Hmph, you're still too green to compete with me!"
At this moment, Zhang Pingfan pushed open the door and entered.
"Damn it, I almost died here today. I wonder what that willow branch really is!"
Zhang Pingfan inadvertently glanced at the willow tree in his courtyard.
Zhang Pingfan walked to the front of the willow tree.
He touched the leaves of the willow tree with his hand.
"This really looks like that willow branch, but speaking of which, it shouldn't be, otherwise it would be too absurd!"
When Ri Tian heard this, his entire dog life was filled with doubt.
Damn it, if not for Willow God's intervention, you would have turned into a puddle of mud.
Zhang Pingfan returned to his lounge chair, crossing his legs.
Not long after, Black Emperor also returned to the small courtyard.
"Master, everything in Savage City has been taken care of. It was truly too perilous this time!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded and said, "Yes, I thought I was almost done for. Hurry up and make me some tea to calm my nerves!"
"Yes, Master!"
When Zhang Pingfan drank the tea brewed by Black Emperor, he was filled with satisfaction. This tea was the best thing he had ever tasted in his life.
"Can this tea be planted in our small courtyard? I see you don't have much stock left, and I've finished all the ones you gave me last time!"
Black Emperor pointed to a small sapling in the distance.
"Knowing Master likes it, I planted it long ago, but the growth process is extremely slow. As far as I know, this kind of tea takes at least 10 years to grow!"
"Cough cough!" Zhang Pingfan almost choked on the tea!
"What takes 10 years to grow? I want to drink a cup of tea, and I'll be old!"
Black Emperor showed a helpless expression.
"There's no way, this tea is good, but it's too hard to find. If it weren't for the special soil in our courtyard, it wouldn't even grow!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded, it seemed he would have to drink it sparingly from now on.
"Black Emperor, what do you think that willow branch that suddenly appeared today was?"
Black Emperor glanced at Willow God in the distance.
"Doesn't Master feel that willow branch is familiar?"
Zhang Pingfan agreed wholeheartedly.
"How could it not be? At first glance, I thought it was the willow tree in our courtyard. Although I think this willow tree is very special, it shouldn't be to that extent!"
"Uh, Master, this... I'm not very clear about it!"
Willow God had once said that his information should not be revealed to Master, and that at a certain time, they would naturally confess to Master.
Zhang Pingfan felt inexplicable about today's events, as if the system knew something but refused to tell him.
When all the monsters in Savage City were cleared, all players received the notification of mission completion.
This time, the number of players who accepted the mission was as high as several hundred thousand.
However, the number of those who completed the mission was not as many as expected, only sixty percent of them completed it.
The remaining 40% did not complete the mission because many of them did not have time to participate in the morning wave, missing their chance.
Even so, the system still gave them compensation rewards, which was an increase of one level.
As for other rewards, they were still unable to obtain them.
Many players began to complain, after all, they had fought for so long and contributed so much, only to be rewarded with a level increase. This meant that all their efforts for the past two days were in vain.
Of course, most players retorted, blaming them for not participating in the morning, knowing there would be a battle and still not coming.
Zhang Pingfan chuckled as he watched this. Who can you blame if you didn't participate in the mission yourself?
Not long after, Zhang Pingfan left the small courtyard and came to the sect, because the four great demon emperors were still waiting for him there.
At this moment, the four great demon emperors were following Tie Gong Ji like subordinates.
When they saw that iron rooster, their reaction was exactly the same as when Undying Bird saw Tie Gong Ji.
They kept calling him "Big Brother," which annoyed Tie Gong Ji.
"Are you guys annoying? Go cool off somewhere else and don't always follow me. If Master sees it later, I'll be the one getting beaten!"
"Brother, you are so powerful, Master should revere you!" The Azure Dragon Demon Emperor, not understanding the reason, continued to flatter Tie Gong Ji.
Undying Bird gently reminded him, "Master kicked Brother away with a single kick this morning, almost stewing him!"
The Azure Dragon and two others immediately felt their hairs stand on end.
"Is Master really that terrifying? With Brother's ability, with a few flaps of his wings, the entire Mythical Continent could be turned upside down. Then what is Master's strength? I almost grabbed him with my claws today!"
Tie Gong Ji sneered.
"It wouldn't hurt to tell you, with Master's current strength, any one of you four could crush him with a raised hand, but would you dare?"
