Chapter 118 Come On, Flatter Me

[System prompt] Your enemy "Old Ancestor Blood Saber" was killed by "True Person Azure Flood Dragon".

[System prompt] Your enemy "Phagpa" was killed by "True Person Azure Dragon".

...

A series of system notifications continuously sounded in Hao Ren's mind.

"Hahaha, good, good that they died!"

Hao Ren clapped his hands and laughed, boundless joy filling him.

What is the most pleasant thing in the mortal world? Ah, *pats pats*...

What is the second most pleasant thing in the mortal world? Hehe, of course, it's watching your enemies kill each other, and then one by one, they all drop dead.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" is enraged, his injuries flare up, he vomits three liters of blood, and collapses!

Hahaha, this is great!

I hope you die of anger!

Hao Ren's eyes gleamed.

To be honest, Zhen Zhibing had been a real headache for Hao Ren.

Zhen Zhibing was a bit like a "Dragon King Returns" character, a protagonist type with an incredibly strong life force, impossible to kill no matter what.

Other Golden Core cultivators would die after being cursed twice and suffering from inner demons.

But not Zhen Zhibing.

Hao Ren cursed him every month, and each time he was "critically injured" but just wouldn't die!

After some time, Zhen Zhibing would miraculously recover.

So frustrating!

What was most annoying was that this guy's hatred for Hao Ren had already reached over ten million.

His mount, the Green-Eyed Purple-Gold Howler, was stolen by Hao Ren, and his hatred for Hao Ren increased by +100000.

His mount, bah... his junior sister, Little Dragon Girl, was eloped with by Hao Ren, and his hatred for Hao Ren increased by +100000.

Hao Ren could understand the first two points.

Revenge for his father, and the humiliation of his wife being taken!

However, for other matters, Hao Ren simply couldn't accept it.

The weather was bad today, Zhen Zhibing's hatred for Hao Ren increased by +100000.

Today, when walking, he stepped out with his left foot first, Zhen Zhibing's hatred for Hao Ren increased by +100000.

...

He's a lunatic!

What's wrong with stepping out with your left foot first when walking? Why increase the hatred value?

Zhen Zhibing, this "Dragon King" is toxic, super toxic!

In short, Zhen Zhibing and Hao Ren were in a "life and death" struggle.

Hao Ren sincerely hoped that Zhen Zhibing would be eliminated this time, removing a great threat from his mind.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" is being jointly besieged by "True Person Azure Flood Dragon" and "True Person Azure Dragon".

[System prompt] Your enemy "Thousand Blades Hermit" rushed to protect the unconscious "Zhen Zhibing" and engaged in a fierce battle with "True Person Azure Flood Dragon" and "True Person Azure Dragon".

[System prompt] Your enemy "Thousand Blades Hermit" was killed.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" regained consciousness during the chaos, seized the opportunity to use the Demonic Evasion Secret Technique, and escaped from the Yun Family Immortal Mansion.

...

Alas!

What a pity!

Hao Ren sighed deeply.

Zhen Zhibing was truly like a cockroach, impossible to kill!

To be able to escape even now, it could only be said that this guy had an incredibly tough fate.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" encountered "True Person Flood Dragon" while fleeing, and a fierce battle ensued.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Lai Meilan Zhu" joined the battle.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhou Baishi" joined the battle.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Teng Fei Old Ancestor" joined the battle.

Hahaha, good, this is great!

Hao Ren burst into laughter.

This plot, so exciting.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Zhen Zhibing escaped from the Yun Family Immortal Mansion, never dreaming that the Four Demonic Sects he had defeated were waiting for him!

Zhen Zhibing charged headfirst into the encirclement of the Four Demonic Sects.

Zhen Zhibing was already at the end of his rope. This time, he had to die, right!

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" was besieged, severely wounded, and on the verge of death.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" sacrificed a magic treasure and once again activated the Demonic Evasion Secret Method, escaping death.

[System prompt] Your enemy "Zhen Zhibing" fled back to the Divine Ability Divine Sect, completely exhausted, and fell into a deep coma.

...

The only flaw!

Hao Ren shook his head.

Zhen Zhibing's life was too tough; he wouldn't die even now!

However, he was severely injured and in a deep coma, and with the Divine Ability Divine Sect surrounded by the Four Demonic Sects, Zhen Zhibing wouldn't be causing trouble anytime soon!

It could be considered a good thing, Hao Ren consoled himself, and he continued to follow the plot development of the Yun Family Immortal Mansion.

[System prompt] Congratulations to the host, the Sect Master of Water Moon Sect, "True Person Qingfeng," has developed a favorable impression of you. Favorability +1000000, current favorability: Five Stars (Sworn Brother).

[System prompt] Your friend "True Person Qingfeng" is lamenting: That senior behind the Yun family is truly too powerful, too great, and too miraculous! In a situation where defeat was certain, he didn't even need to appear. With just one secret technique imparted to Yun Zhenting, he turned the tide and helped the Yun family achieve victory from defeat...

...

Similar system notifications continuously sounded in Hao Ren's mind.

Hao Ren laughed heartily, his vanity greatly satisfied.

This feels so good!

You all admire me so much, I'll feel embarrassed!

Come on, praise me a bit more!

[System prompt] Congratulations to the host, "Chi Lian" of Fiery Flame Sect has developed a favorable impression of you. Favorability +1000000, current favorability: Five Stars (Sworn Brother).

[System prompt] Your friend "Chi Lian" is lamenting: How could Senior know the secret of the "Star Constellation Sword Alliance"? Oh, I understand now. Senior's cultivation is unfathomable. He can foresee fifty thousand years into the past and know fifty thousand years into the future. He is omnipotent, above and below the heavens. Senior is too powerful.

Hao Ren

( ̄▽ ̄)/

Hahaha, this flattery feels so damn good.

Hao Ren suddenly felt that the cultivation world wasn't so terrifying after all. These cultivators were quite likable, hahaha...

[System prompt] Congratulations to the host, "Zhong Xuan Zi" of Heavy Profound Sect has developed a favorable impression of you. Favorability +1000000, current favorability: Five Stars (Sworn Brother).

[System prompt] Your friend "Zhong Xuan Zi" is lamenting: With the mysterious senior protecting the Yun family, their rise is unstoppable! It just so happens that this time, the "Hidden Dragon Ranking" competition will have the Yun family lead the cultivators of our East Desolation Mountain Range to participate. They are bound to achieve a good ranking.

Hidden Dragon Ranking?

What a chuunibyo name.

Hao Ren grumbled in his heart. This sounded like a typical "arena competition" or "trial" plot.

All cultivation novels had such plots; it was a standard trope.

To think that the real cultivation world had similar scenarios.

Is this a case of "art imitating life"?

Too cliché!

Hao Ren had no interest in the "Hidden Dragon Ranking" or anything like it.

It sounded dangerous.

At that time, there would definitely be various protagonists and geniuses, constantly showing off and humiliating others, possibly even accidentally killing someone, and forcefully creating enemies for the protagonist...

It was simply too dangerous!

Hao Ren refused to participate!

As a cultivator who preferred to lay low, he would rather quietly hide in his cave and spectate the "text broadcast."

Hao Ren was lost in his own thoughts.

Suddenly, a few discordant notification sounds echoed in his mind.

[System prompt] Congratulations to the host, "True Person Azure Flood Dragon" has developed hatred towards you. Hatred +99999... Current hatred: Five Stars (Incompatible).

[System prompt] Congratulations to the host, "True Person Azure Dragon" has developed hatred...
