"You dare utter his na!?" Si Shen with wide opened eyes glared at Mo Xie with a sword on his hand.
Mo Xie beca speechless, [Uttering his na can cause such a reaction?]
"I am only asking, I am a re orphan, how could I know such a profound thing?" With the events unfolding right now, Mo Xie couldn't help but invent so stories, though, this most definitely is his story.
"Hmmp! Being an orphan is no excuse to not know your God's na!" Si Shen exclaid.
[God?] Mo Xie with astoundnt written in his face couldn't believe it; [A human actually ascended into godhood and is being respected in this world? no, maybe, I am just over thinking things.]
"Everyone in this World treats his na with respect, yet, you actually speak of it so lightly!" With Si Shen's next words, Mo Xie received the answer imdiately.
"Miss, it seems you are misinford by a little, we, the commoners do not even care whoever is the king of a nation, why do you even think we care for a being that we have no knowledge of?" Mo Xie paused and then added.
"Do not push your logic to , I have my own problems to deal with, and I think you yourself have your own."
Si Shen beca montarily shocked as he looked at Mo Xie before glaring at him: "Hmmp, I can slice you into two pieces whenever I want to."
Si Shen felt enraged, Zhihao is the expert within the folklore that he loved so much, yet, soone is actually being rude towards it, sothing he couldn't forgive.
Ma Dong sighed and decided to intervene; "Now that the three of us are here, why not let tell my story first."
Hearing this, Si Shen only hesitated for a bit before he withdrew his sword and sat down again.
Mo Xie, on the other hand, has still no change of expression on his face as he looked at Ma Dong in wait.
"Ahem." With a cough, Ma Dong looked at the two and started his story; "There is a secret that no one in this world has not known, only those that had passed this village know."
Hearing this, Si Shen's anticipation grew bigger while Mo Xie sighed, knowing the past events is no different than knowing sothing, well, that has always been his principle.
Ma Dong continued: "The na of our founding chief's lover is Ma Ruan, and his father, is the very first subordinate of our God, Zhong Zhihao, his na is Ma Dong."
Si Shen's eyes grew wide as he heard this piece of news, his two hands held on his mouth to prevent others from seeing it widely opened, anwhile, Mo Xie looked at Si Shen as he chuckles, he also finds this a sowhat interesting story.
"So... your na..." Si Shen couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at Ma Dong in astonishnt.
"Yes." Ma Dong replied with a nod: "The founding chief made it our tradition, the eldest male will be nad Ma Ruan and his na will change to Ma Dong when he becos the Chief."
Si Shen now understands, the reason for Ma Dong's confidence that ca from his na.
People only knew of the expert's na, Zhong Zhihao, maybe they knew all of their nas, but through the passage of ti, the only one they rembered is Zhihao, well, nobody knows, only those that lived to tell the tales might have so more information about it.
Ma Dong continued his story, while Si Shen is extrely ersed in it, Mo Xie is starting to have so other thoughts.
[Should I just pursue a normal life?] At this ti, Mo Xie's thought felt shaken, living a normal life wouldn't sound so bad after the amount of ti that he had lived in for.
[Having a normal family, a wife that cooks and waits for until I get back ho, children that will welco back...
Doesn't sound bad at all.] Mo Xie pondered for a bit, if he goes with how that Zhong Zhihao had lived, it might have only taken him less than 500 years to achieve a much higher realm.
He knows for sure though, that although he treated himself like a genius before, his ideas are starting to change ever since he was brought down that cave.
[I am no genius, not even an average person.] Looking outside the window, Mo Xie looked at the manmade Demon Sword Mountain.
[Even if I was on my pri, I wouldn't even manage to make sothing like that...]
His self-confidence kept shattering as Ma Dong's story goes on, the feat that he spoke of, although so of it might be exaggerated, still, who could do such a thing?
Creating void scars, summoning thousands of swords, even using the sun as a power.
This might be the reason why he was terd as a God.
[At least, in this World, I can be the strongest.] Mo Xie finally made his mind clear, and that is, just to settle down on the path of a normal human being.
The three of them finished their conversation, though, Mo Xie was only half listening throughout the whole thing, yet, he still had a slight enlightennt; [The universe is vast, I am rely a drop in the ocean.]
[Losing a single average useless being like isn't really that much...] Mo Xie thought, his self-steam had just slumped to the very bottom after hearing those stories of great experts, but he still had a question, those demons discussed on the stories, they possess incredible powers, yet, they are neither humans nor demons that he had known, they must be sothing else.
"Well, I`ll leave it to those that have the power to fight them, for the anti, I`ll live peacefully here." Mo Xie spoke as he removed all the previous deanor of an expert has.
"I miss Aiqing... But I will change now, I`ll live my own life separate from the cultivation World, it seems that the path of cultivation is no longer in my destiny after all." Mo Xie is talking about his cultivation, no matter what he does, he never had the chance to break through to the silver ranked stage,
[Until I know the reason behind it, I wouldn't even be able to cultivate, so let's just forget about everything and focus on a peaceful life.]
Mo Xie looked at Si Shen and asked: "Where is the nearest town or kingdom from here?"
Si Shen was at the peak of his happiness earlier due to the story from Ma Dong, yet, the mont he heard Mo Xie's words, his mood suddenly turns sour, he glared at Mo Xie and replied: "Why should I tell you that?"
Mo Xie sighed, yet, he still responded: "Well, I`m kind of curious about this World."
"What do you an?" Si Shen replied he sohow beca a little interested in Mo Xie, there are still so unanswered questions like how did Mo Xie ca out of the cave earlier, and now, adding the word 'World' to them, his interest turned to curiosity.
"World? So... you are not from this World then?" Si Shen added.
"Un!" Mo Xie replied with a calmness written all over his face.
"What are you curious about?"
Mo Xie pondered for a bit as he spoke: "Well, how should I say it... first, why does a female like you trying to dress up as a male? Is that the fashion here?"
Hearing Mo Xie's words, Si Shen couldn't help but be shocked, glaring at him with intense hostility. But the shock didn't end there, as Mo Xie's following question roused her anger imdiately.
"And are human and demons free to cohabitate with each other?"
