Chapter 1233 - 1232: The Ignorance of the Mighty
Little Hedgehog guided Tang Rao, the sand of the desert became increasingly scorching as they moved forward, and when Tang Rao felt like he was performing ballet on the ground while walking, he realized something might be wrong ahead."Hey, little thing, are you joking with me?"
Whether it was a pit of fire ahead or a treasure, Tang Rao had eyes to see.
"It's right below here, where I found it."
Little Hedgehog insisted there was something good below, and also asserted that this was where the treasure was located.
But in a place where the sand could nearly roast a person, what good could lie beneath?
"How do we get down there? Practice Iron Sand Palm, or make candied chestnuts?"
Gazing at the sand with heat waves rising ahead, Tang Rao was nearly in despair.
At this moment, he had no idea that danger was approaching them.
A gust blew by, and the heat waves struck down Tang Rao and Little Hedgehog. Because the wind was strong, a layer of sand covered Tang Rao almost turning him into a roast pig.
"So hot, gosh I'm going to die, can't take it anymore."
Tang Rao quickly brushed the sand off himself, then looked at the sand after the gust, as if this place wasn't affected at all.
"Tang Rao, I'm so hot."
Little Hedgehog jumped onto Tang Rao's shoulder, Tang Rao then saw Little Hedgehog's feet had blisters from the heat.
"You go back to the portable palace first, I'll find the rest."
Tang Rao sent Little Hedgehog back, and facing the wild sand alone, he still felt uncertain.
"Is there a Guardian here?"
When entering someone's territory, shouldn't one politely ask two questions first?
"Boy, only now you thought to ask this old man?"
A weathered voice sounded beside Tang Rao's ear.
"Hello, elder, I'm new here, sorry for the disturbance."
The opponent's power surpassed Tang Rao, even if the person guarding the treasure was merely a Divine Sense, the strength of this sense was greater than Tang Rao's.
Little Hedgehog previously told Tang Rao the treasure was sealed by a powerful being, Tang Rao didn't believe it. But hearing this powerful voice, he believed.
"Well, you still have manners, much better than the kids I've met before."
The elder's voice suggested he was quite satisfied with Tang Rao.
Those kids?
Could they be the group of treasure-seeking gods Little Hedgehog mentioned?
A powerful being indeed, even gods were mere kids to him, it seemed Tang Rao needed to treat the powerful being with greater respect.
"Elder, do you drink? Do you smoke?"
The powerful being was just a Divine Sense, Tang Rao asked out of politeness.
"What's drinking, what's smoking? You came here for the treasure, didn't you?"
The powerful being saw through Tang Rao's tricks, but Tang Rao did not feel any hostility from him.
As Tang Rao was about to say something, the powerful being's Divine Sense suddenly transformed into a human form.
A long-haired, ethereal being appeared, seemingly not a villain.
"I say, powerful being, are you human now or ghost?"
Tang Rao held a can of beer in one hand, a cigarette in his mouth, the man was the coolest when smoke and drink were at hand.
The powerful being, seeing Tang Rao puffing clouds of smoke, became quite interested in the items in Tang Rao's hands.
"I am both human and god, both god and Divine Sense, I can be whatever I want. What's that in your hand, let me see."
Before Tang Rao agreed, his cigarettes and beer were already in the powerful being's hands.
"Be reasonable, powerful being, don't do anything rash, if you don't smoke, then don't try!"
Tang Rao spoke in vain, the powerful being already attempted his first puff, nearly choking on the heavy smoke.
"I told you, didn't even finish speaking, you hurriedly imitated, and now you see the taste?"
Tang Rao took out a can of chilled beer from his Space Ring, opened it and started drinking.
The powerful being felt wronged, but wasn't discouraged. Unable to smoke, surely drinking, just gulping it down the throat, wouldn't be a problem?
He mimicked Tang Rao, took a sip of beer, and felt like floating.
"You're a good person, better than those before, why don't you come to my place as a guest?"
Because of a can of beer, the powerful being actively invited Tang Rao into the midst of the desert.
"Elder, are you kidding me? I could go in, but I fear I'd become roast pig before I enter."
Even though he described himself as a pig, Tang Rao felt it was the most appropriate description for himself at the moment.
"Why don't you try again?"
The powerful being held Tang Rao's hand to feel the temperature of the sand. Miraculously, the boiling-hot sand now felt like ordinary sand.
"You are the first to get inside, I hope you'll cherish every scene you see next."
When the powerful being let go of Tang Rao's hand, Tang Rao was no longer in the desert but underneath it.
Below the desert was a completely constructed Imperial Palace, which needed the Luminous Pearls to illuminate due to being underground.
"So the underground palace is real, I thought it was just a legend."
Holding a can of beer, Tang Rao wandered and drank, even clinking glasses with the powerful being. After walking a passageway, Tang Rao felt he and the powerful being grew enough buddies to call each other brothers.
"There's no wall without chinks. Although I wanted to keep the underground palace a secret, ultimately powerful people will find this place. But finding is one thing, if I don't wish it, no one can take one step inside."
The powerful being stroked his beard, very satisfied with his life's work.
"How is it, no lifetime has witnessed such a spectacular view, no lifetime has seen such a beautiful underground palace?"
Like ordinary people, the powerful being liked hearing praise.
Tang Rao nodded seriously then shook his head.
"The underground palace is indeed excellent, the treasure is good too, but not as beautiful as Zijing City."
Tang Rao bluntly denied the powerful being's lifelong masterpiece, seeing a naive junior evaluating his treasure, the powerful being immediately became unhappy.
"Your Zijing City, I'd like to see what your Zijing City looks like."
To believe Tang Rao's things as unique and the best, one must offer a comparison.
"Here's the render of my Zijing City. It's still under construction, when finished it'll look like this, do you like it?"
Tang Rao had no problem giving this picture to the powerful being as a souvenir, after all, he only had the render, not knowing how to build it yet.
"You call this picture Zijing City?"
Powerful being intended to feign nonchalance, to mock Tang Rao's residence inferior, but upon seeing the render, he became speechless.
The more said, the more it showed the powerful being's ignorance.
