Chapter 1266: Chapter 558: The Arrogant borrows water Chapter 1266: Chapter 558: The Arrogant borrows water “The epidemic rises to the sky, and the heavens are filled with poison clouds. If rain were to fall now, it wouldn’t be sweet dew, but poison!”
Lu Liangliang said disdainfully, “Master Shaolin is already setting up a new water purification system, and in no more than two days, Chaochang will have clean water again!”
“From what I see, quite a few people might not make it for another two days.”
Tang Luo shrugged and said, “But no worries. Lu, go ahead and help distribute the herbs. I’ll take care of the water problem!”
“You?” Lu Liangliang frowned. “What can you do?”
“Hey!”
He pulled the Great Dao Thunder Chanting Staff from the ground and slung it over his shoulder, grinning, “Just need to borrow so water from the clan strongholds, right?”
“…You think they’ll lend it to you?”
With a casual spin of the staff on his shoulder, causing the bell to ring clearly, Tang Luo smiled even more radiantly, “Speaking with a good conscience, it’s just about borrowing sothing that’ll soon be worthless anyway. They should at least give that bit of face.”
“Heh.”
Lu Liangliang didn’t want to continue talking with the naive Tang Luo. From what he had seen, the clans that stayed in Chaochang were one and the sa, none of them good — he certainly didn’t think that being Longxi’s Pride would get Tang Luo anywhere in Chaochang.
Yun Xiu watched the conversation from beginning to end, her mind still in a fog. Tang Luo’s aningful glances and that unforgettable face raised countless questions in her heart.
But it wasn’t the right ti to clear up her doubts, so all she could do was try to maintain her composure, though only she knew the extent of the turmoil in her heart.
If Gouchen was really Tang Luo, then the martial arts world might be turning upside down!
…
As Tang Luo left with the staff over his shoulder, he also felt a bit of reluctance in his heart — he should have co clean to Yun Xiu about his identity a long ti ago.
But Yun Piaopiao’s matter had been interfering, so he kept delaying, leading to this awkward situation.
Based on what is known now, Yun Clan’s enemy has been confird not to be Xu Clan. It’s either Dutian Heavenly King or An Clan of Zhongzhou.
But no matter which one it is, either entity is currently an insurmountable presence for Tang Clan. But what does that matter?
Legends eventually grow old, and it’s always soone’s pri ti.
A hundred years later, who will call the shots in Xiehe is still up in the air. Suddenly feeling more spirited, Tang Luo swung his staff and “knocked” open the defensive line of a Chaochang clan’s stronghold.
Revealing his towering upper body amidst the remnants sundered by Gang Wave, he called out to the crooked and collapsed family warriors inside, “I’ve co to borrow water; send out your steward!”
“The Great Dao Thunder Chanting Staff!?”
The captain of the guard, who was struck down by the Gang Wave, struggled to stand up holding his chest, and said in disbelief, “You’re Tang Luo, Longxi’s Pride!”
“Recognize , eh? Then that makes things easier!”
Tang Luo lifted the staff and stepped forward, collapsing the courtyard wall. Walking through the cloud of dust with relentless strides, he approached the people and declared, “Chaochang is running out of water; just borrowing so to drink. We’ll leave as soon as we’re done!”
The captain of the guard, who had originally thought Longxi’s Pride was there to steal water and had prepared for a desperate fight, could only offer a bitter smile upon hearing these words.
“Just taking a sip of water, why smash the courtyard wall with a Gang Wave as if you’re a bandit invading? Can’t you ask nicely?”
The warriors, feeling indignant, could hardly bear it, but the middle-aged literary scholar beside them let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to ingratiate himself, “I’ve long heard of the great na of Longxi’s Pride. Please, help yourself, help yourself!”
“Educated people really are different. Nice job!”
Tang Luo smiled and nodded approvingly at the middle-aged man, then plunged the Great Dao Thunder Chanting Staff into the ground beside the well and walked over to the well’s edge to squat down grandiosely.
The well entry, big enough for two adults to descend side by side, was completely covered by Tang Luo, which from behind looked like a robust man embracing a small tub.
Tang Luo, unceremoniously by the well, spat out the Mysterious Serpent Phantom, opened his Void Stomach, and activated his Innate Qi Arrow supernatural ability, causing a spout of water to gush from the well and whirl into his mouth.
“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”
At first, no one paid much attention. After all, given Tang Luo’s imposing and powerful physique, it made sense for him to drink a large amount of water. But as they watched, they beca uneasy.
So much water had spurted from the well—it could have filled a bathhouse—yet Longxi’s Pride showed no sign of stopping, and not even his belly seed to swell.
To say it was just a sip of water, but wasn’t that sip too big!?
The middle-aged man who had said aloud that Tang Luo could drink as he pleased was now petrified in fear, but the words were already out. To take them back now would clearly be slapping his own face.
He sent a glance to the guard captain, signaling not to act recklessly, and reassured himself silently while bowing his head, “No big deal, no big deal, it’s just a well. The family has several more, it’s fine, it’s fine.”
God knows how long it took, but eventually, the burly man by the well stood up, lightly wiped his mouth without even a belch, turned around to pick up the staff, and bid farewell to everyone, “This water is good, very sweet. I’m quite satisfied. Goodbye, everyone!”
As Tang Luo left with the staff over his shoulder, the middle-aged man with a plastered-on smile scrambled to the well and looked down, then let out a cry of despair, clutching his chest.
After Longxi’s Pride had drunk “a sip”, the once full well was now nearly dry. As the person responsible for the pure water here, how was he supposed to explain this to the family!
“This damned Tang Luo, why did he have to co to our place!”
The middle-aged man, slumped beside the well, didn’t know that he wasn’t the only noble family to suffer such a fate that day.
That day, Longxi’s Pride knocked on the doors of more than thirty noble families, and after fierce “reasoning”, drank from over thirty wells.
It also delivered a ssage to all the noble families in Chaochang: not only had Tang Luo awakened the Yin-Yang Grinding supernatural ability and possessed a body with the Two Ambiguity Innate Qi of tal and earth, but he also had the legendary Void Stomach.
In the face of such a nacing and unstoppable fiend, even though they hated him to the core, the faces of the Chaochang noble families were still filled with smiles.
This is just the nature of rchants, after all. What’s a water well compared to offending the future power of Longzhou?
It was mainly because Lu Liangliang was too refined that he suffered loss. When it cos to these noble families, there’s no need to be all smiles.
Soone has to play the villain, and Tang Luo, who had risen from beside the well, shook his head and turned to the fallen noble warriors, “See, you’re so stingy about lending water, then guns and knives follow, and now you’ve gotten beaten up. How is that worth it?”
“Enough, no more struggling. I said I’d borrow it, and in two days, I’ll co back to return the water, I promise. I’m off~”
Perhaps it’s because he has been the Devil Lord, everyone’s target for so long, that Tang Luo in his true form felt his role to be particularly exhilarating!
