Shame!
A flood of shame!
He, the dignified Great Demon King Zhao Lie, ended up in such a position, it was simply unbearable to watch.
But for survival, for his future resurgence, he could only endure it.
"A great man doesn't fight when the odds are against him, a real man can bend and stretch, once I recover my true body, I'll swallow this kid whole, then who will know the humiliating history of me, the Great Demon King Zhao Lie?" Zhao Lie kept cheering himself up in his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhao Lie stuck out his tender little tongue and licked with even more enthusiasm.
Over there, Zhang Chen watched the sudden change in the attitude of the Little Wild Cat, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes:
"Huh~, does this Little Wild Cat take me for its mom?"
This ridiculous talk of 'mom' caused Zhao Lie to pause in his licking, his entire sparsely furred body visibly blushing, a massive wave of shame surged through his heart, nearly making him lose his composure, wishing he could just bang his head against something here and die.
But for the sake of surviving, he could only endure it with tears!
"This Little Wild Cat is so well-behaved, I might as well raise it and give it to my little sister later, I remember Zhang Tuowei loves little animals." Zhang Chen muttered a bit as he held the Little Wild Cat in his palm.
"I'm not your mom, I'm your dad! From now on, you call me dad!" Zhang Chen stroked Zhao Lie's head, his voice filled with teasing.
Zhao Lie's body shivered, a hint of menace flashed in his milkily cute eyes, feeling utterly furious.
Dad?
He dared to make him, the Great Demon King Zhao Lie, call him dad?
How many years has it been? How many years since anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of him!
That ridiculous talk of 'dad' almost made Zhao Lie snap, wishing he could swallow his tongue and die, but thinking of his eighteen wives, his dozens of strong sons, and his flourishing career, Zhao Lie ultimately endured.
At this moment, Zhang Chen dipped a bit of honey and sent it into Zhao Lie's mouth, Zhao Lie disregarded the shame and licked with relish.
"Hmm, this Little Wild Cat knows how to eat, it can survive!" Zhang Chen commented as he watched the Little Wild Cat eat.
Hearing the words 'Little Wild Cat,' Zhao Lie wanted to give Zhang Chen a neck bite, and then ask: "Are you blind? Can't you tell a tiger from a little cat?"
But faced with the honey temptation from Zhang Chen, Zhao Lie chose to submit, lowered his head, and quietly ate the honey. With a full stomach, the world is vast.
"Speaking of which, since we'll be a family from now on, you can't be without a name, right? Let me give you a name." Zhang Chen looked at Zhao Lie, who was munching on honey, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Got it, from now on you shall be called Dog Leg!"
'Cough cough cough~'
Zhao Lie choked violently on the honey, nearly dying of Zhang Chen's words.
This is so absurd, ridiculous Dog Leg!
Zhao Lie felt the urge to bite!
For him, the dignified Great Demon King, to be reduced to a Dog Leg?
Isn't this just a joke?
"This brat dares to insult me so, in the future when I, Zhao Lie, recover my true body, I will kill you!" Zhao Lie cursed in his heart, then bowed his head to devour honey, wishing to eat more and grow big quickly, to escape this hellhole.
But before he finished eating, Zhang Chen held Zhao Lie, spreading his legs apart into an extremely shameful pose.
"What do you want to do!" Zhao Lie quickly curled up, using his little paws and tail to cover his tiger appendage, only to see Zhang Chen pull with his hand, directly opening his legs: "So it's a little tomcat! What a pity you're not a tiger. If you were, when you grew up, you could cut it off to soak in wine."
This made Zhao Lie shiver, cursing in his heart: "Damn humans, using tiger appendages to soak in wine. How many heroes of the Tiger Race have fallen to your human whims, damn it! When I regain my power, I'll soak you in wine, making you medicine wine is a must."
Thinking of this, Zhao Lie suddenly gave Zhang Chen a strange look, full of pity: "How curious, so young yet already weak, truly pitiable. What a waste of youth."
Zhang Chen didn't know Zhao Lie's thoughts, otherwise he would indeed let him know why flowers are so red.
At this moment, Hunting Falcon followed closely, landing on Zhang Chen's shoulder, watching Zhao Lie nurse, a movitated look in its eyes, wanting to swallow Zhao Lie whole.
"This Little Wild Cat named Dog Leg will be your partner from now on, you must not eat it." Zhang Chen patted the head of Hunting Falcon, then after the Little Wild Cat finished the honey, he stuffed it into his bosom, went to the beehive to collect some honey, and walked downhill.
The next step is to find Zhong Xiang, light the flame of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and refine his God-Beating Whip.
Zhang Chen roamed the mountain path, seeing soldiers searching the mountain everywhere, but these soldiers were different from the ones from Prince Pingbian's Mansion, with unique clothing, looking like apparel from the Inspection and Supervision Department, apparently searching the mountain for something (looking for Zhao Lie).
As Zhang Chen descended the mountain, he saw Xie Lingyun standing solemnly under the tree shade, seemingly engaged in a Divine Soul Emergence.
Zhang Chen didn't dare approach, quickly disappearing into the mountains, arriving at Zhong Xiang's residence, only to see a long queue of countless Confucianism disciples and scholars visiting outside the Zhong Family.
Zhang Chen didn't dare go forth, lest he get recognized, and instead directly used the Invisibility Technique, swaggering through the main gate, and entered Zhong Xiang's courtyard.
