Chapter 294: How Dare a Mayfly Gaze Upon the Heavens? Words Become Law!
Hearing Mu En's words about taking him as a disciple, Wang Dong turned to look at Xiao Wu.
If Xiao Wu was willing to become Mu En's disciple, Wang Dong naturally did not mind having one more teacher.
For Wang Dong, staying together with Young Master Wu was the most important thing.
For a moment, both Wang Dong's and Mu En's gazes focused on Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu pondered for a moment before slowly shaking her head and then looking at Mu En.
"Old Mu, I'm a practical person. What's in it for me if I become your disciple?"
"If you're only giving me an identity but not giving me any treasures, then what's the point of becoming your disciple?"
After saying this, Xiao Wu quietly looked at Mu En, wanting to trick some more treasures out of his hands.
Mu En wants to take her as his disciple? He was purely dreaming.
Xiao Wu had read the novel The Unrivaled Tang Sect, so she naturally knew what Mu En had in mind by taking her as his disciple. He simply wanted her to become Shrek's dog.
But Xiao Wu had only come to infiltrate Shrek. She genuinely had no intention of becoming Shrek's dog.
Even if Mu En gave her precious treasures later, Xiao Wu would simply take Wang Dong along with her and leave Shrek Academy with those treasures.
Now, she was asking Mu En for treasures precisely so that she could fleece him for a little more before leaving Shrek.
After all, an ancient force with a heritage spanning ten thousand years would always have some foundation to rely upon.
Hearing Young Master Wu's answer, Mu En stood there stunned for a second or two.
He had not expected Young Master Wu's answer to be like this.
"Young Master Wu, after you become my disciple, I will naturally give you treasures."
"Besides, as a Limit Douluo, I possess countless years of cultivation experience. I can help you avoid many unnecessary detours on your cultivation path. How can that not count as a benefit to you?"
Mu En slowly tried to persuade Xiao Wu, hoping that Xiao Wu would become his disciple.
"No. I'm practical. Without treasures, I absolutely won't become your disciple."
"Old Mu, I'm so young, yet I've already broken through to the Soul Emperor level. I think that even without your cultivation experience, I can still reach the realm of a Limit Douluo."
"So, your cultivation experience is dispensable to me. I'm not particularly interested in it. What I care about are heavenly treasures."
"It's still the same thing. If you want me to become your disciple, you have to give me treasures first. Give me satisfactory resources. Otherwise, I won't become your disciple."
Xiao Wu shook her head, firmly refusing to compromise on her principles.
Not long ago, she had become the Child of Destiny of the Douluo Continent, and she had also comprehended a trace of the essence of the Sky Shattering Divine Fist. Her path before godhood was already completely unobstructed.
Mu En was merely a crippled Limit Douluo who had not even touched the threshold of the Demi-God realm. In Xiao Wu's eyes, his cultivation experience was worthless.
Seeing that Young Master Wu remained unmoved by anything, Mu En sighed.
He looked at Xiao Wu with a benevolent gaze, but a strange meaning flashed deep within his eyes.
"Young Master Wu, since you want treasures, as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion, I possess countless treasures. Naturally, I will give some to you."
"Tomorrow, come with me into the Ancient Golden Tree. I will give you a treasure as your apprenticeship gift. How about it?"
Looking at the benevolent-looking Mu En, Xiao Wu sneered inwardly.
This old bastard was showing such a smile. There was definitely a trap.
But Xiao Wu had a cheat on her side. Why would she need to fear Mu En's little tricks?
"Fine, Old Mu. I'll come tomorrow to collect the treasure. If I'm satisfied, I'll directly become your disciple."
Xiao Wu answered with a smile.
Immediately afterward, Mu En looked at Wang Dong. Compared with the gaze he had directed at Xiao Wu, this one appeared much more sincere.
"Wang Dong, what about you? Are you willing to become my disciple?"
Hearing this, Wang Dong seriously answered,
"After Young Master Wu becomes your disciple, I'll become your disciple afterward. That's fine, right?"
"Good."
Mu En softly uttered a single word.
Not long afterward, Mu En instructed Wang Dong and Xiao Wu to return to the outer courtyard.
Not long after Xiao Wu left, Mu En's expression became cold as he stared in the direction Xiao Wu had departed.
"It seems there is no longer any possibility of making Young Master Wu willingly throw himself into the fray for Shrek. I can only use the means left behind by Lord Sea God."
Mu En's voice was extremely cold.
At this moment, he finally showed what it meant to be the Pavilion Master of the Sea God's Pavilion and the leader of Shrek.
The next day.
Xiao Wu and Wang Dong fulfilled their agreement and arrived beside the Ancient Golden Tree, where they met Mu En.
"Old Mu, what treasure are you planning to give me?"
Xiao Wu asked, unable to conceal the anticipation in her voice.
"Just come inside with me."
"By the way, Wang Dong, you stay outside. I have something to discuss with Young Master Wu."
Mu En spoke with a peaceful expression.
Wang Dong did not think much of it and allowed Young Master Wu to enter the Ancient Golden Tree with Mu En.
Xiao Wu followed Mu En deep into the Ancient Golden Tree, eventually arriving at a tree hollow.
"Old Mu, why did we have to come this far? You could have just given me the treasure."
Xiao Wu asked in confusion.
At this moment, Mu En turned around, his expression extremely cold.
It was in stark contrast to the peaceful expression he had just displayed.
He circulated his soul power and muttered something under his breath.
But his final sentence was clearly spoken.
"Please, Lord Sea God, save us! Protect my Shrek through this calamity!"
As Mu En's voice fell, a brilliant azure divine light suddenly appeared out of thin air and shot toward the center of Xiao Wu's brows.
Seeing this scene, how could Xiao Wu not understand that this old bastard Mu En actually wanted to brainwash her?
However, her spiritual sea contained Yun Yuan's divine sense. The means that Tang San had left behind for Shrek were useless against her.
Within Xiao Wu's spiritual sea, after the azure divine light entered, it transformed into a phantom.
A phantom dressed in blue, with blue hair and holding the Sea God's Trident.
This phantom was the divine sense of Sea God Tang San.
As the consciousness of the Sea God's divine sense emerged, and he had just turned his attention toward Xiao Wu's spiritual sea, he saw the endless power of laws surrounding a gigantic divine sense.
"This... what is this?!"
The Sea God's divine sense was deeply shocked by the divine sense before his eyes.
The gigantic divine sense slowly opened its eyes, its star-like eyes staring at Tang San's divine sense that had intruded.
"How dare a mayfly gaze upon the heavens?"
The gigantic divine sense spoke as if uttering heavenly words, and the endless power of laws surged toward the Sea God's divine sense.
In an instant, the Sea God's divine sense could no longer sense any scene within Xiao Wu's spiritual sea, nor could he observe Yun Yuan's divine sense floating within Xiao Wu's spiritual sea.
This was the power of words becoming law!
"Disperse!"
Yun Yuan's divine sense spoke once again.
The next moment, the Sea God's divine sense began dissipating bit by bit, from the soles of his feet all the way up to his head.
After the Sea God's divine sense disappeared, Xiao Wu's spiritual body appeared.
"Yun Yuan, quickly give me some strength. I want to beat that old bastard Mu En to a pulp."
"He actually dared to scheme against me. I want to grab his crooked back and hammer it as hard as I can."
Xiao Wu said angrily.
"Fine, I'll give you a little strength. But don't beat him to death. Your Sister Xue and Auntie Dong haven't had enough fun with him yet."
After giving this warning, Yun Yuan released a trace of power and gave it to Xiao Wu.
"Got it, Yun Yuan. I'll definitely know my limits."
Xiao Wu patted her chest in assurance.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Wu's spiritual body returned to reality.
The instant she returned to reality, Xiao Wu directly unleashed the trace of power Yun Yuan had given her.
"Old bastard, take my punch!"
