Gate of God

Chapter 408: Pet

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The nights in the Southern Region were filled with the roars of beasts and a heavy mist. The moonlight shone weakly, giving the foliage a faint silver glow.

But...

It failed to shine through the canopy.

A large black figure shot through the sky, blocking the moonlight and casting a large shadow on the ground.

"They will be the death of me! These sneaky Southern Region b*stards! Sister Yan, where do we go now?" Ping Yang pouted unhappily. She had lost Fang Zhengzhi.

This wasn’t her fault either.

What kind of place was the Southern Region?

It was filled with towering trees and forests. Even from above, one did not have a clear line of sight.

That made pursuing and tracking highly ineffective.

Furthermore, Ping Yang was not born and bred here.

After the 500 silver horned wolves shot out of the valley, they went into the dense forest and split up into 10 groups.

Ping Yang was stunned.

She could not even figure out which one was the lead group, much less figure out which group Fang Zhengzhi was in. As such, she could only pout and turn back.

"The Sagely Mountain City!" Chi Guyan stood up as she looked at the peak some distance away, her pink dress dancing in the wind.

"Sounds good. I heard that that is the capital of the Southern Region. There must be many fun things to do! But if we want to go there, why didn’t we go with Nangong Hao?" Ping Yang asked excitedly.

"Do you want to be with Nangong Hao?"

"Of course not. That fella might be powerful, but he is so boring. Furthermore, he did not listen to the Emperor! He rejected an official post! I do not want to be with someone like him."

"Exactly."

"So Sister Yan chose not to go with them because of me?"

"I did not say that."

"Hehe, anyways, I know that Sister Yan treats me the best. Oh yes, Sister Yan, you mentioned that both you and Nangong Hao are at the pinnacle Supernatural State. So who is more powerful?" Ping Yang’s eyes glimmered as she looked on in anticipation.

"Who is more powerful?" Chi Guyan became silent as she looked up at the stars, deep in thought...

...

The second day, the mist began to clear up slightly.

In a forest between the Sagely Mountain City and the Icy Monkey Settlement, an army sat nestled in the trees.

There was a humongous tent in the middle of the camp.

There were all sorts of carvings on the tent and a few statues surrounded it, giving it an imposing look.

Inside the tent, two rows of guards in tartan armor. They all looked at the lady seated above them with anticipation and worry.

This lady sat atop a piece of golden leather and held a leather book in her hand. Her skin was radiant and Snow White leather covered her important areas.

Her stomach was flat and her legs were slender and long. There were two small dangers strapped to her thighs.

A five colored feather was stuck to the top of her headdress.

She looked ferocious.

"Your highness, Teng Shisheng is back and he is waiting outside the tent!" Just at that moment, a soldier entered.

"He’s back? Good, let him in." Shan Yu straightened her back and looked up.

"Yes, your highness!" The soldier took his leave.

Before long, Teng Shisheng walked in, his skin glowing radiantly. Upon entering the tent, he fell to his knees.

"Greetings, your highness!"

"Mm, did you bring him back?" Princess Shan Yu did not raise her head immediately, choosing to read her book calmly.

"I have!" Teng Shisheng replied.

"Very well, have him enter."

"Princess... Fang Zhengzhi had suffered serious injuries in the battle and is currently comatose. I’m afraid..."

"Comatose? Serious injuries? Then... is his life in danger?" Princess Shan Yu’s hands trembled as she looked up.

"I... don’t think so!" Teng Shisheng thought about it before shaking his head.

"Mm, that’s good. Have Ling Mu take a look!" Princess Shan Yu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"Commander Teng, did you bring Fang Zhengzhi’s sword back as well? Why aren’t you presenting it?" Two generals spoke up at this point.

"That sword... I... forgive me, your highness. The situation was tense and the blade is on the cliff. I did not manage to bring it back!" Teng Shisheng’s expression changed instantly.

"It’s on the cliff in Feng Su?" Princess Shan Yu frowned as she looked at Teng Shisheng.

Teng Shisheng was a loyal soldier of hers. He had followed her for five years and she had no doubt Teng Shisheng was telling the truth.

When Teng Shisheng saw the expression on Princess Shan Yu’s face, he immediately began recounting what happened at the Icy Monkey Settlement.

"What?! You’re saying that Fang Zhengzhi has 388 Daos in his pocket dimension?" One of the generals widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard this.

"Yes! This was something Fang Zhengzhi said himself. I was shocked too, but I think that it is true!" Teng Shisheng reaffirmed.

And then...

Another voice of shock rang out.

"He killed a Rebirth State Demon?! Him?! How is that possible?"

"You said that he managed to kill his way to the top of the Feng Su cliff? And he nearly killed the young master of the Demons? That’s impossible! How could he even get close? Did she not have anyone protecting her?"

"Supernatural State!"

"You’re saying that Fang Zhengzhi broke through to the Supernatural State?!"

"Leader Teng, this is not something to joke about. How old is that boy? A 16-year-old Supernatural State! This has never happened in the Southern Region history!"

All of the generals were floored when they heard that Fang Zhengzhi’s wound healed by itself after he was stabbed by Yun Qingwu.

A 16 year old Supernatural State human?

This was far more impressive than Fang Zhengzhi killing a Rebirth State Demon using the Traceless Sword. After all, there were many factors in a duel.

Techniques and luck were just two of many other variables.

But...

Breakthrough was not something that had an element of luck. There was no recorded history of anyone breaking through to the Supernatural State at 16. Not in the Southern Region, not in the Great Xia, not even in amongst the Demons.

This was true talent!

However, when they thought of Fang Zhengzhi’s actions in their camp, they shook their heads.

He was a talent.

But he was shameless.

Else...

The generals could not finish their thoughts. That decision was not theirs to make.

"Where is he?" Princess Shan Yu’s eyes glimmered as she watched on.

She was not happy about this.

Who was she?

She was the top talent of her generation. She would only accept a few people being more powerful than her. One of those was Chi Guyan...

The other was Nangong Hao...

But when she heard that it was Fang Zhengzhi...

She could not accept it.

How could someone so shameless overtake her?

Princess Shan Yu felt a wave of angst when she thought about Fang Zhengzhi’s look of shamelessness.

"Your highness, Fang Zhengzhi is currently being guarded by the Silver Horned Wolves." Teng Shisheng replied.

"Mm... have Ling Mu take a look at him, then send him to my tent." Princess Shan Yu ordered.

"Your highness, you must not!" One of the generals stepped forward worriedly.

"What’s wrong? Why not?" Princess Shan Yu’s gaze was icy.

"Your highness, I do not mean any harm... what I mean is... If Fang Zhengzhi has broken through, he will be dangerous when he regains consciousness. Yun Qingwu had stabbed him and kicked him off a cliff. He would be out for revenge. What if he wakes up and takes you hostage... in an attempt to threaten the Demons..."

"Yes, your highness! General Li makes sense. Please lock Fang Zhengzhi up!" Another general echoed the sentiments.

"It’s too dangerous!"

All of the other generals began chiming in. They were a lot more liberal here.

Even though it would be inappropriate for Princess Shan Yu to host Fang Zhengzhi in her tent...

But if she really wanted it...

Then they could not stop her.

After all, with her status, it was completely acceptable for her to keep a man as her companion.
