Chapter 66: Offers [2]
"Shut up, Light," growled Darkness. "Boy, join me — I’ll make sure every desire you’ve ever had, and even those you haven’t thought of, are satisfied."
The great promise of fulfilling desire from Darkness oozed with temptation, his voice low and velvet-smooth, like poison disguised as wine.
If he had known what kind of desires Yu Xuan harbored in the depths of his wild imagination — including establishing a sect of battle maidens with wings, constructing a Kindergarten so he can rule the future generations, raising a fire-breathing goose army, or developing a pillow that takes away the sleeper’s anxiety and heart demons — Darkness would’ve choked him on the spot.
Unfortunately, Yu Xuan was too deep in thought, distracted by his mental checklist of impossible life goals.
Sensing an opening, the others jumped in with their offers like salesmen at a treasure auction.
A crackling voice echoed next:
"Listen, child, I am Daoist Thunder Jr. Pay no mind to these over-the-top fools. How about joining me for tea first?"
The speaker shimmered with sparks of vibrant blue lightning.
"Thunder, you dare poach my disciple?!" Darkness snarled.
Daoist Thunder Jr. remained composed, though the air around him pulsed with rising tension. The crackling of lightning intensified like calm before a storm.
Then came a deep, rumbling voice that sounded like mountains grinding against each other.
