Chapter 514: Setting Sail
"I once told Fellow Daoist that I came to This World merely to find a lost Artifact of mine. Originally, I didn't want to cause a big fuss, but that Taishan Fujun was truly too much. He tried to snatch my things and was killed by me. That's not excessive, is it?"
"Hmm?" Tang Song's gaze swept over the Queen Mother of the West and the Dragon King behind her, who had a dragon head and human body and wore a magnificent brocade robe. He asked with a smile.
"No, of course not excessive! Even in the Mortal World, your behavior is merely self-defense!" Facing Tang Song's gaze, the Dragon King instantly felt cold sweat streaming down his back.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart: "If he hadn't known better just now and hadn't intended to avenge that rebellious son, perhaps at this moment he would already be keeping company with Taishan Fujun down below!"
The subsequent conversation between Tang Song and the Queen Mother of the West made him break out in even more cold sweat, his clothes soaked through.
"Oh? Then if I had just tried to seize that Cauldron, I fear in the next instant a sword would have pierced the sky, severed K'un-Lun, and slain me!" The Queen Mother of the West looked at Tang Song with a smile, but there wasn't the slightest trace of smile in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, what kind of joke is that? You are the Lord of K'un-Lun, how could you be a rogue who casually snatches other people's things!" Tang Song also looked at the Queen Mother of the West with a smile—
Both of them were clearly smiling, but the Dragon King caught in the middle was trembling, deeply afraid that if the two started fighting, he would suffer along with them.
If these two Great Gods were to fight, I fear the entire Sea Area nearby would turn into a dead zone!
The Dragon King had imagined the terrifying scene of the two fighting as much as possible, completely unaware that the person sitting opposite him had once planned to refine the entire World if he couldn't find what he wanted.
Fortunately, this worst-case scenario did not happen!
"I originally thought Fellow Daoist was someone who cherished beauty and jade, but it seems I underestimated Fellow Daoist!" The Queen Mother of the West stared at Tang Song for a long time, then scoffed: "Taishan Fujun was killed by Fellow Daoist, and the Underworld has also fallen into Fellow Daoist's hands. It seems Fellow Daoist doesn't plan to leave This World?"
"Alas, that Taishan Fujun was truly unwise. However, I had a bet with him beforehand. Although the Underworld isn't much, I've always been frugal in managing my household. Since it's my spoils of war, even a fly's leg, no matter how small, is still meat!" Tang Song sighed, his expression seemingly quite disdainful of the Underworld.
"Since the Underworld has completely fallen into Fellow Daoist's hands, does Fellow Daoist also wish to occupy K'un-Lun? I see Fellow Daoist seems quite interested in my maidservants!" The Queen Mother of the West said faintly, "Since Fellow Daoist intends to kill me, just do it directly. Why bother finding excuses?" The Queen Mother of the West saw through Tang Song's malicious intentions at a glance; he was clearly using the Underworld Cauldron to fish.
She just didn't understand why he insisted on finding an excuse for himself.
"Fellow Daoist, why must you imagine me as that kind of bully who commits murder and seizes others' property! I have always had my own principles in how I do things! Since Fellow Daoist hasn't provoked me, why should I be that villain!"
As Tang Song spoke, he pointed a finger downwards. Beneath his feet, water vapor gathered, condensing into a cloud three zhang square. The clouds converged, forming three long tables, each with a cloud seat behind it.
Then Tang Song flicked his robe sleeve, and several jade stone fruit plates immediately appeared on the long tables formed by the white clouds. The fruit plates were filled with various fresh fruits and sweet fruits. There were peach fruits the size of a fist, bright red and drippingly ripe, as well as white jade lotus root that emitted a pure white radiance like jade. Fire dates the size of an egg still had tender date leaves attached, and vermillion fruits the size of cherries in the fruit plates emitted a refreshing fragrance.
"Come, you two, no need to be polite, please sit!" After Tang Song gestured with his hand, he sat directly on the cloud couch and picked up a cherry-sized vermillion fruit from the fruit plate, tossing it into his mouth.
Although his lifespan couldn't compare to that of an Ancient God like the Queen Mother of the West, he controlled the Nine Realms, his influence radiating across several Great Worlds and over a dozen Small Worlds. He still had some assets.
Jiaoli fire dates, vermillion fruits, Siberian Solomon's Seal—these things that were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Ordinary Cultivators were merely normal fruits and melons used to entertain Guests for Tang Song! This was the benefit brought by influence. He didn't need to do it himself; with just a word, his Subordinates would continuously find the things he needed and bring them to him.
"Fellow Daoist acts with such principles?" The Queen Mother of the West sat directly opposite Tang Song, picked up a sunflower seed like a black gemstone from the fruit plate, and peeled off the black skin in her hand, revealing the crystal-clear seed kernel.
She held the translucent seed kernel in her hand, looked at it curiously for a moment, and then put it into her mouth.
"With Fellow Daoist's Cultivation Base, shouldn't you be able to act without restraint? Are there still people in This World that Fellow Daoist needs to be wary of?"
"Act without restraint, hehe. There are indeed very few people in This World who can make me wary. If This World had such Experts, I wouldn't dare to do things like Sky Sealing and Earth Locking!" Tang Song's blunt words, a look of obvious bullying towards the old, weak, sick, and disabled, as if it were only natural. "Fellow Daoist, are you not afraid that This World has the kind of Experts you mentioned!"
This made the Queen Mother of the West's complexion stiffen. How was this different from cursing a bald donkey in front of a monk? She was so angry she almost wanted to grab the fruit plate in front of her and smash it onto Tang Song's face.
But the gap in strength was there. Even being mocked to her face, she was powerless.
However, the Queen Mother of the West still rolled her phoenix eyes and gave Tang Song a charming eye-roll.
