Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 315 - 300: Father Above

"What about the future?"

"This servant doesn’t dare say."

"I exonerate you!" Wang Wu was speechless. This little maid clearly wanted to persuade him, but her technique wasn’t skillful enough, making it tiring to watch.

"Thank you, Great King. What this servant wants to say is that if in the future the Great King wishes to compete for the position of Right Demon Emperor, you at least need a powerful army under your command."

"Why would I need to compete for the Right Demon Emperor? Isn’t Princess Lark good enough? I support her unconditionally. Wait, hold on, what do you mean? Isn’t the future Right Demon Emperor appointed by the Left Demon Emperor? Shouldn’t it be a virtuous, talented, and powerful Great Demon chosen by the current Right Demon Emperor as their successor before passing?"

"Reporting to the Great King, of course not. For the Demon Emperor, naturally, it’s whoever has the strongest power who becomes it."

"Even if there’s an appointment and favoritism from the previous Demon Emperor, it first has to convince others. It must prove it can lead the Southern Wilderness Demon Race to victory, allowing everyone to enjoy the spoils, and this requires plundering the Human Race and engaging in war with them."

The little maid rambled on for a long time, and Wang Wu finally understood.

"Alright, I get it, but I only support Princess Lark. You, meanwhile, seize the opportunity to go check out that auction. I’ll wander around the surroundings."

After speaking, Wang Wu directly tossed the little maid three meters away. As she landed, she quickly turned back, but she couldn’t see Wang Wu anywhere. Unbeknownst to her, Wang Wu had already changed his appearance and appeared several miles away at a bustling market, almost indistinguishable from the Human Race Territory. The Southern Wilderness Demon Race’s upper echelon clearly understood the Demon Race’s weaknesses.

Pillaging isn’t the solution; construction is.

Wang Wu didn’t have a specific purpose; he just wandered around the market, then sat at a roadside tea stall, watching the crowd while pondering how to tackle the second type of matrix unit next.

He didn’t know how long he stayed, but the market dispersed, the night deepened, and he slowly stood up. Suddenly, he turned his head, seeing a person standing not far away. That person didn’t know how long they had been standing there, but it was obviously not by chance. They had definitely come to find him.

Moreover, although the person used divine techniques to conceal their face, they clearly held no malice.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Wu bowed in respect.

"May I ask, are you General Tie Yao? If I’m intruding, please forgive me."

"I’m not Iron Waist, Xiong Wu, why didn’t you attend the banquet?"

The person asked.

"I am poorly learned and prefer tranquility, hence I didn’t want to embarrass myself there. But why didn’t you attend the banquet?" Wang Wu curiously asked, knowing if the person recognized him, they must also be attending the banquet.

"It held little interest, so I went for a walk. It happened I ran into you here, daydreaming. Xiong Wu, you’ve likely been in the Human Race Territory for a long time. You’ve acquired a worldly atmosphere, almost mistakable for a human."

The person laughed.

"Sort of. There was a time I nearly believed I was human." Wang Wu half-joked.

"That’s quite a coincidence. I too lingered on the human side for three centuries, almost mistaking myself for human. So who were you thinking of earlier?"

"Why say that?" Wang Wu found it odd; he swore he hadn’t been thinking of anyone, just planning the Five Elements Spirit Array.

"I don’t know, but suddenly you seemed very serene, looking no different amidst the bustling crowd, yet distinctly unique."

"Haha! You’re a joker, my friend."

Wang Wu casually responded, about to take his leave, when the person tossed over a jar of spirit wine. "Would you like to know what they’re discussing at Iron Waist’s banquet right now?"

"I’m all ears." Truth be told, Wang Wu was quite curious, but he was genuinely busy in seclusion and didn’t want to initiate participation. Once you attend Iron Waist’s banquet, won’t you be expected at other Great Demons’ gatherings too?

Right.

Demons too must adhere to social norms.

"They are discussing whether to seize this opportunity to contact the West Sea, East Sea, and South Sea Demon Races, and take over the southernmost giant city within the Human Race Territory, Wushui City."

"Ah!"

Wang Wu was shocked. The Southern Wilderness Demon Race certainly loved battle.

"Xiong Wu, what’s your take?"

The person also pulled out a jar of spirit wine, clinking it from afar with Wang Wu before taking a big gulp.

"Delicious!"

Wang Wu quickly drank a big gulp too, his eyes lighting up immediately. Good wine, good spirit wine, at least Fifth Grade.

"What spirit wine is this? Fantastic stuff! You’re truly generous, friend!"

"It’s Fifth-Grade Sea God Spirit Wine; fairly decent. Humans excel at refining spirit pills, while we Demons excel at brewing wine. Alas, alas!"

"What a pity?"

"Just as humans can’t refine Fifth-Grade Five Elements Spirit Pills, we can’t brew Fourth-Grade spirit wine." The person sighed deeply.

And Wang Wu, with just one sip of this Sea God Spirit Wine, already found it exquisitely delightful. This wasn’t about how much spiritual qi it could replenish, but a blissful sensation, seemingly containing infinite vitality.

Such joy! At this moment, he even had a sudden flash of enlightenment, feeling his Danger Perception, Passive Concealment, Self-Healing, Spirit Essence, Heart of the Earth, Fury, and all bloodline divine techniques increase by one level.

Even his attribute bar seemed thrilled, as if it had a fit.

"By consuming this rare, uncommon, precious, indescribable Fifth-Grade Sea God Spirit Wine, all your attributes will be +1 for twelve hours, all your divine talents +1, and your Demon King-level resistance permanently +10. At this moment, your resistance to Evil Wind greatly increases, your resistance to Yin Fire greatly increases, your resistance to Yang Thunder greatly increases."

"That’s impressive!"

No wonder it’s called Sea God Spirit Wine; Wang Wu was shocked as he gazed at the person, almost wanting to shout "Ancestor above."

"You seem surprised?"

"Not surprised, very surprised. This jar of Sea God Spirit Wine is too valuable. What have I done to deserve this? You must have a request. Please speak; as long as I can accomplish it, I won’t hesitate to go through fire and water!"

"Haha!"

The person chuckled lightly. "Couldn’t it be that I find you pleasing and want to invite you for a drink beneath the night sky, revel in conversation, isn’t that wonderful?"

"Impossible, I don’t believe it, I’m too ugly." Wang Wu outright denied thrice. What kind of joke was this? This Fifth-Grade Sea God Spirit Wine is definitely a rarity, comparable to Five Elements Spirit Pills among Demons; and you gift a jar without a second thought. Could it be you’re after my body?"

"Alright, indeed I do have a request for you." The person said, taking another sip, which made Wang Wu feel heartache. Come on, buddy, this wine shouldn’t be consumed like that; it’s wasteful!

"What kind of look is that? It’s my wine; I’ll drink it as I please!"

"Consider you as my godfather; Wu Piaoling has lived half a life without meeting a wise lord. If you do not reject, Xiong Wu wishes to bow to you as his godfather!"

With a thump, Wang Wu dropped to his knees directly.

"Godfather, tell me, what service do you require from your child? Just instruct me, but please refrain from more drinking; it’s harmful to health..."

The person was stunned, looking at the wine jar in his hand, then at the abstract Wang Wu kneeling on the ground, unsure of what to say for a good while.

"Do you want to drink my wine?"

"No, no, no, it’s just that the child thinks—"

"Shut up! Who told you I’m your godfather! Get up! A man kneels only when there’s gold; you’re a Third-Grade Great Demon from a prominent family, and this behavior is so unseemly!"

"Yes! But we could swear brotherhood; from now on, we’re the Two Heroes of the South Sea! No, no, the Two Heroes of the Southern Wilderness..."

"Forget it. I know your family tradition loves swearing brotherhood. From Xiong Pi onward, now whoever it may be likes to form Three Heroes of the Great Wilderness, Four Heroes of the Southern Wilderness, it became cliché."

At this point, the person drank another sip of Sea God Spirit Wine, then watched Wang Wu there, fretful, scratching his head, restless, unable to sit still, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Damn, what kind of thing is this?

After a moment of thought, he took out another jar of Sea God Spirit Wine and tossed it over.

"Indeed, I want to ask for your help. I heard you know Yu Jinyan."

"Yes."

Wang Wu nodded, although he didn’t understand, but the person’s next words made him understand instantly.

"I wish to improve the Sea God Spirit Wine, thinking it might be worthwhile to experiment using Water-Storage Spirit Pills, but this item is hard to obtain. Could you visit the Human Race Territory, find Yu Jinyan, and see if you can purchase some Water-Storage Spirit Pills? Rest assured, you’ll receive ample benefits."
