Martial King's Retired Life

Volume 11 Chapter 93 Crescent Dragon Eyes. An Unforgettable Murder.

“Whoa!” Feng Xue disengaged again, but he did it with urgency unlike before. “How…?” Feng Xue’s hands shook as he stared at the overcooked bird in his hand. “How come it’s burnt again? Am I even going to have dinner at this rate?” He hurled the bird, then thundered, “You overdid the tiger, lizard and now a bird, too? You might as well be called Oversized Frying Pan!”

For the first time, Wazi developed an understanding of how it felt to despise someone close to a “parent”. Because of its past as a human’s pet, Wazi could understand what Feng Xue was scolding it for. As such, it harboured a strong desire to eat the heart of the old geezer, prompting it to fire purple lightning at Feng Xue.

Feng Xue intuitively side stepped the lightning bolt again. “It’s not going to happen, so quit making a fuss. I told you I won’t leave.” He sat down on a rock as if he was bored out of his skin to file his nails with a small knife. “As a dragon’s son, you wouldn’t deign yourself to search for another target. Catch me for a snack. If you can’t, we’ll keep playing cat and mouse.”

Wazi glared intently at Feng Xue. How much it understood was anyone’s guess, but Wazi unquestionably wasn’t fond of Feng Xue.

All of Pangu’s sons had different personalities. Saying they all inherited different special abilities referred to the extent to which they inherited rather than meaning they only had one speciality. For instance, Chichen inherited molten armour and fire, but that didn’t mean it only had those two abilities; Chichen merely just happened to have particularly high defence attributes besides a fire ability. Baidizi would be the outlier because it was average in every department besides its leadership attribute.

Although Wazi inherited Pangu’s lightning control, its intelligence stood heads and shoulders above its siblings. Even though Wazi was cleverer than its siblings, it wasn’t smart enough to comprehend mankind’s language. With that said, it was smart enough to read human emotions based on the smell they emitted. The smell it picked up on was vague to the point that it was a unique experience even for itself. To put its feelings into perspective, imagine if humans could suddenly read the minds of animals. Wazi’s siblings could barely say they even had the ability to read human emotions. Wazi’s intelligence was usually employed for nothing besides circus tricks, so it had little motivation for development. During its scrap with Feng Xue, however, he showed a positive spike in development.

Pangu’s special ability “Dragon Pupils” granted x-ray vision and the ability read human minds. It was precisely this ability that allowed the beasts to read their opponent’s intentions and counter. According to Mount Daluo’s records, Heterochromia Crescent Baihuang, was the son that was supposed to inherit the ability. Besides the name, there was no information on Heterchromia Creasent Baihuang. Wazi didn’t directly inherit Dragon Pupils, but it had the most advanced version among its currently present siblings.

Le Kuangnu had the hardest time taming Wazi due to the latter’s combat prowess. To add, Wazi was too proud to share the same space as its brothers. Even Sky Palace’s method didn’t work all of the time. As a result, Le Kuangnu had to give Wazi special treatment, ignorant to the fact that Wazi was reading him using Dragon Pupils.

As a consequence of Wazi’s actions, though, it didn’t receive much training. Combat wasn’t its forte. Even when enhancing its attributes with lightning, Baidizi and Chichen would still beat it. Its saving grace was it learnt inconceivably fast, even more so in a skirmish situation.

Dragon-Slaying Formation couldn’t “reduce” their intellect, physical prowess and special abilities, but it influenced their personality in different ways according to which monster was the subject. Without the formation, Chichen’s bloodlust was unbridled. In regards to Wazi, it gained calmness.

Suddenly, Wazi chose to do what a human would… It fled. Feng Xue reactively gave chase, though he quickly stopped. What was he supposed to do once he caught up? Wazi got tangled in Feng Xue’s ploy because of its pride. If it wanted to leave, Feng Xue couldn’t stall it.

As he was contemplating his options, a sick feeling visited Feng Xue’s, one that reminded him of the madness from ten years ago, except on a larger scale. “Oi, oi, Feizhen?! Damn it, kid, why do you have to pick now of all times?!”

Ming Feizhen sorted out Feng Xue’s priorities for him: Wazi needed to die.

“Your thought is congruent with mine, Elder. Shiba has stopped it!”

Boom! Wazi ran into an unmovable obstacle.

He’s bloody strong for his age. Since when did Mount Daluo have such a splendid disciple?

As always, she always drew attention with her appearance. Feng Xue flashed his teeth upon seeing her. “Perfect timing, Niece-in-law.”
