Legend Management Bureau Chapter 338

[ … words ]

He silently calculated in his heart. If these two women truly gave birth to children, the chances of them taking a human form were extremely high, and possessing a human form meant they could become immortals right after birth.

In that case, the moment those two children were born, they would already be stronger than him.

After all, Yinglong still needed hundreds of years to transform into a human, while these two children would completely bypass that lengthy process.

Since the mothers of the children harbored such deep hatred for him, those two babies might also…

“This is bad. These two children will likely be born with reversed scales. They cannot be allowed to come into this world,” Yinglong realized in an instant. He immediately stepped out of the Cave Dwelling and heavily layered several more restrictive spells over the entrance.

Although Yinglong desperately wanted an exceptional heir, he would absolutely never allow his offspring to be born stronger than himself.

Nor would he ever raise two children who harbored hatred toward him.

Yinglong repeatedly checked the state of the Cave Dwelling. Only when he was absolutely certain that the two women had no chance of escaping did he finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he left the area forever.

From then on, he never returned to the Stone Cave. Thinking about it carefully, those two had undoubtedly perished.

Yinglong let out a long breath, finally concluding his story.

In front of him, A Can and A Kui had already clenched their fists tightly. If the person before them was not occupying Du Yu’s body, they probably would have killed him long ago.

“Big Dragon, are you finished?” Du Yu asked.

“I am finished,” Yinglong nodded. “What do you want this ancestor to do next?”

“Come back first and return my body to me,” Du Yu said calmly. “I need to have a few words with A Can and A Kui.”

Yinglong nodded and instantly relinquished control of the body. Du Yu opened his eyes.

A Can and A Kui looked at Du Yu with complicated expressions, but Du Yu did not speak to them.

“Boss Xing Tian, I forgot to tell you earlier, but Lady Houtu has a favor to ask of you,” Du Yu immediately sent a Voice Transmission to Xing Tian after regaining control of his body.

“Oh?” Xing Tian slowly stood up. “What do you need me to do?”

“I need you to give Yinglong a vicious beating,” Du Yu said. “The harder you beat him, the better.”

“Understood.” Xing Tian offered a slight smile. He knew full well that this was not Lady Houtu’s request, but rather Du Yu’s own idea.

However, this beating was well deserved, because even he could no longer stand listening to the story.

Yinglong’s actions were worse than those of a beast.

Before Yinglong could even react, Xing Tian grabbed him firmly by the dragon’s neck and immediately rewarded him with dozens of heavy slaps to the face.

“Hey?! What—what are you doing?!” Yinglong demanded in confusion. “This ancestor already told you the truth, and you’re still hitting me?”

As Yinglong spoke, he began thrashing his dragon tail. Even though he knew he was no match for the man in front of him, he absolutely refused to be slaughtered without a fight.

Gritting his teeth, Du Yu warned, “Yinglong, I highly suggest you don’t fight back, otherwise Xing Tian won’t be the only one beating you.”

After all, he could feel that Zhongli Chun, Ying Ning, Zhi Nv, and Zhan Qisheng in his inner world were all equally furious. Du Yu was only worried that if too many people joined the fray, they might accidentally damage the space of his inner world, which was why he let Xing Tian handle the beating alone.

Xing Tian’s savage beating beat Yinglong senseless, leaving him completely powerless to defend himself.

Yinglong had never expected this man’s arm to be as hard as a diamond. Once grabbed, he found it impossible to break free.

After Yinglong was thoroughly beaten, Du Yu looked at A Can and A Kui with a guilt-ridden expression and said, “Uh… I’m really sorry about this. I honestly didn’t know the truth was like this… I thought he was just an unfit father…”

“It’s fine, Brother Yu. No matter what, this isn’t your fault. Don’t worry about it.”

Du Yu nodded, still wearing an apologetic look.

Suddenly remembering something, he called out to the black-and-blue Yinglong in his mind.

“Wait, that’s not right, Big Dragon. You spent all this time confessing your crimes, but you still haven’t mentioned the most important part. How did A Can and A Kui survive? And how did they lose their memories?”

Yinglong hurriedly replied, “This ancestor has already told you everything I know… I am also extremely puzzled as to how they survived…”

Hearing this, Du Yu murmured in a low voice, “This is a bit strange… If A Can and A Kui truly met the two conditions of Wrongful Death and Great Pivot, this story isn’t enough.”

Du Yu boldly began to deduce, “The story of A Can and A Kui didn’t end in that cave. They survived because someone unexpectedly rescued them, turning them into a Great Pivot. Finally, they died tragic deaths. Only in this way could they satisfy both conditions…”

Even after concluding his deduction, he still felt that something was off.

Why would the two of them lose their memories then?

Du Yu looked up at A Can and A Kui, saying, “Let’s not dwell on this for now. I’ll investigate thoroughly and give you an answer later. Right now, could you help me gather the rest of the Seven Holy Heroes? I have something to say to everyone.”

“Oh… sure, but A’xiang and Brother A’xiang, the two of them…”

“I know, it doesn’t matter,” Du Yu smiled bitterly as he left their room, heading off to find someone unknown.

It didn’t take long for A Can, A Kui, Liu Ling, Xie Yujiao, and Xiao Nian to gather together.

Everyone sat face-to-face with Du Yu in the round-table conference room of the Legend Management Bureau.

“Everyone, I have a favor to ask of you all,” Du Yu stated. “There are only four days left until the great war recorded in history. I’ve thought of countless methods, but I cannot guarantee that we will all survive. Therefore, I’ve changed my strategy. I do not intend to fight He Suoyi and Mahakala anymore.”

“What do you need us to do?” Xie Yujiao couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s nothing major,” Du Yu said with a smile. “I want you to temporarily seek refuge elsewhere. Once everything is over, come back and help me rebuild the Legend Management Bureau.”

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

“I don’t quite understand…” Liu Ling interjected. “Once everything is over? If you make us all leave, what will you do? If there’s no one by your side to help you, how is this matter supposed to end?”

“This matter will end,” Du Yu replied solemnly. “I will wait here to die. I will wait until He Suoyi and Mahakala lead their forces to personally take my life.”

A deathly silence rippled through the group.

Just as Xie Yujiao was about to say something, she suddenly furrowed her brow as if something had changed her mind, and promptly said, “I understand.”

The others also nodded one after another. “Yes, we understand.”

Hearing their words, Du Yu was suddenly overjoyed. “Fantastic! You guys understand?!”

The group stood up, nodding at Du Yu with heavy expressions, and said, “Yes, we’ll leave right now and seek refuge in the Western Paradise. Look after yourself.”

The corners of Du Yu’s lips curled up upon hearing this. He clearly hadn’t mentioned the Western Paradise, yet they knew exactly where to go, which proved that they truly understood.
