Chapter 70: Guo Shui Kang.
“Guo Shui Kang! You bastard, how dare you ambush us with poison!”
The girl, Yang Yuhuan, looked at the youth that entered the clearing with fire practically spewing from her eyes. Hearing her words, Yao Jun and Guo Luo's body slightly stiffened. So he was someone from the Guo clan.
“Now now, that is a rather harsh way of saying it. I truly did not know that you would come here, I only placed this Bone Dead Ginger here in case there was a pretty girl that happened to pass by. It has been far too long since I got to enjoy myself after all.”
Guo Shui Kang shrugged his shoulders and shook his head as he spoke, putting on an innocent face, but the way is eyes roamed over Yang Yuhuan's body betrayed his true thoughts.
“Shameless bastard, you just try to lay a hand on my sister! If everyone from the Guo clan is this shameless, then there is no wonder the Guo clan wasn't even able to keep a single boy at the 1st Mortal Earth captive.”
The rugged man roared out, his voice loud and booming. If it wasn't for the poison paralyzing him, he would have rushed forward and torn off Guo Shui Kang's head with his bare hands.
“You already know?”
Hearing the rugged man's words, Guo Shui Kang's face turned gloomy, the green tint to his skin growing clearer. The Guo clan had done it's best to hide the information, as it could be considered a stain on their reputation.
“Hehe. Like you said, Yantian asked me to come to Soaring Cloud City to save his friend. I have already been in Soaring Cloud City and talked with your Guo clan. You can only imagine my surprise when I learned that the person in question had already escaped.”
Yang Yuhuan responded with a sweet laugh, eagerly taking the chance to taunt Guo Shui Kang further. When Yun Yantian had first asked her to come to Soaring Cloud City to save a friend of his, she had accepted mostly because of their friendship. Yun Yantian had told her a lot about the one she was supposed to save, someone called Yao Jun, so she was extremely surprised when she arrived and found out that he had already escaped on his own, even kidnapping one of their people.
“You bitch. Don't you dare liken my glorious Guo clan to those useless maggots!”
Guo Shui Kang roared out and gave Yang Yuhuan a hard slap. He was from the Guo clan that was located on the Liang continent, he refused to be placed alongside the people from the Guo clan branch on this Guanyu continent.
“What should we do Jun'er?”
Guo Luo and Yao Jun were still watching from a distance, seeing and hearing everything that was taking place. Guo Luo knew that Yao Jun had a friend that went by the name of Yun Yantian, so it was likely that this girl was sent by Yun Yantian to save Yao Jun.
“You are still the leader, I will follow your orders.”
Yao Jun kept staring at Guo Shui Kang as he spoke. He had a rather mixed impression of the Guo clan. On the one hand, it had tortured him extensively, but on the other hand, it had brought him to Guo Luo. But listening to this Guo Shui Kang, he knew that this was a type of person that the world would be better off without. But he had made Guo Luo the leader, so he would follow her orders.
“I have never met this Guo Shui Kang. But it is easy to tell from his words that he is not a good person. And this Yang Yuhuan did come to this continent to save you. She might not have succeeded, but she was still going to save you. I think we should save them.”
Guo Luo's thoughts raced as she thought it over. After a short moment of silence, she made up her mind. She knew that her words meant that this Guo Shui Kang was going to die, but she did not care. In the entire Guo clan, she only cared about her parents. She was still not too comfortable with killing, but she had started slowly changing ever since she met Yao Jun, so it was no longer as bad.
“Very well. Keep this leaf in your mouth, it will neutralize the poison.”
Yao Jun nodded his head and took out two pale green leaves from his Demon God's Gate. After handing one to Guo Luo, he placed the other on in his mouth and lightly chewed it, causing a bitter taste to spread in his mouth.
After making sure that Guo Luo had done the same, he grabbed her hand and pulled her after him as he walked towards the clearing, Sirius following right next to them. When the two of them neared the clearing, the people inside the clearing immediately noticed and turned towards the sounds.
“Who is there?! Show yourself!”
“Run! This is not a safe place, you need to run before it is too late, there is poison here.”
When Yao Jun and Guo Luo neared the clearing, Guo Shui Kang snapped at their directions, immediately ordering them to show themselves. Yang Yuhuan and the rugged man on the other hand shouted for them to flee, even warning them about the poison.
Yao Jun and Guo Luo ignored them completely, entering the clearing and standing not far from them. The two men from the Yang clan lightly shook their heads upon seeing this, despite their warnings, they had still chosen to come here. They could see that both of these people were only at the early stage of the 1st Mortal Earth, so there was nothing they could do.
“You?”
Guo Shui Kang and Yang Yuhuan reacted differently however. Yang Yuhuan reacted with surprise while Guo Shui Kang reacted with a mixture of confusion and hesitation. He felt like he had seen these people before, but he did not quite know where.
“Ah! So it's the Dog King and the kidnapped slut.”
He looked at them for a little bit before a light went of in his head as he remembered where he had seen them before. The man with the gray eyes and black hair with purple stripes in his hair was the person that had escaped from the hands of those maggots in Soaring Cloud City.
The girl with the colorful hair and pink eyes was harder to recognize, but once he overlapped her face with the face of the girl that Yao Jun had taken with him when he escaped, he managed to recognize her.
“Dog King? Kidnapped slut?”
Instead of Yao Jun and Guo Luo responding first, it was Yang Yuhuan that responded in confusion. She had gotten information about Yao Jun from Yun Yantian, so she could guess that Dog King referred to him. Where the Dog part came from she did not know however. She also knew that he had kidnapped someone from the Guo clan when he escaped, but why call her a slut just for that?
“You don't know? Before he managed to escape, someone from the Guo clan carved the image of a dog into his chest, forever branding him as a dog. As for that slut, just look at how she came here while brazenly holding his hand, it's obvious that the reason she is still alive is because she has given him certain services to make sure that he keeps her alive.”
Guo Shui Kang had an amused smile as he spoke, pointing at Yao Jun's chest as he spoke. He had gotten the news about the mark that they had carved into his chest, so was it not fitting to call him a king of dogs? As for what he said about Guo Luo? That was just a guess of his. Yao Jun and Guo Luo were both only at the early stage of the 1st Mortal Earth, they could not pose a threat to him.
“Oh well, you might not have the best of figures, but at least your face is pretty enough to accept it. I'll just enjoy myself with two beauties today.”
Guo Shui Kang shrugged his shoulders once more as he allowed his eyes to roam over Guo Luo's body. Enjoying two beauties was always better than enjoying just one. He looked up and saw that Yao Jun was looking at him with a completely emotionless gaze, so he simply assumed that he had given up and accepted the situation.
