At this moment, the Dragon already came to their front, you are who? Why will be here? The Dragon will open and ask!
Mao Wenjie was not afraid of the dragon at all because he felt confident in his own mind. Then he asked the dragon, "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to ask who we are? What business do you have with us? Why did you come here? This is the First Heaven, shouldn't you be in the Fourth Heaven? Aren't you supposed to be Yang Jian's guardian deity? Why didn't you protect Yang Jian and come here instead? Are you trying to harm people now? If you dare, I can report this to the heavens and have them seize you!"
The dragon was angry when it heard Mao Wenjie say this, "What kind of thing are you? A small immortal in the First Heaven, dare to talk nonsense to me, a superior being. Don't you know death? Don't you fear that I will make you disappear into ashes? You really don't know what life and death are. What kind of courage do you have to talk to me like this? Who gave you the courage to do so? Is it the First Heaven Supreme Emperor Huang Zeng Tian who dares not speak like this in front of me? He's nothing in front of me. If you don't want to die, get out quickly. Otherwise, I really will kill you. Do you really think yourself so great that I won't be able to kill you?" And then he yelled "Get out!"
Huang Ling'er was very happy when she heard the dragon telling them to leave. At that moment, when should we leave? She wanted to fly away from there by casting a sword. However, she found that Meng Wenjie, this stubborn donkey, was standing there without moving an inch. No matter how much Huang Ling'er tried to pull him, she couldn't budge him. This infuriated Huang Liangzi. Meng Wenjie, why won't you let me go? Come back! Now it's your turn to go; why won't you go? What do you want to do here? Do you really want us both to die here so that you'll be happy?
Meng Wenjie's stubborn temper flared up, he said to Huang Ling'er, "You're afraid it can leave here. A man can be killed but his honor cannot be tarnished. Why does it dare to talk to me like this? Who does it think it is? It's just the guardian deity of Yang Jian, what right does it have to act so arrogant in front of me? Its strength is irrelevant. Even if its strength surpasses mine, what then? Today, it must give me a reason for its actions. What right does it have to look down on me? If I don't get an answer, we're not done yet! Don't think I'm scared of its power. It's just a dragon spirit; an animal that can do what to me? Today I'll find out for myself what it can do! I'm not afraid of anything and will take whatever comes its way!"
Huang Ling'er, hearing what Meng Wenjie said, was so upset that tears rolled down her eyes. Wenjie, what's wrong with you? Do you have to be happy only if we both die here? I know you don't want to be humiliated, but we can't just refuse to bow our heads either. If our skills are not as good as theirs, then when we gain more power in the future, we can seek revenge and avenge ourselves. Why do we have to compete for superiority here today? If we die here today, what's the point? Haven't you heard the saying? As long as there are green mountains, there is no fear of running out of firewood. We have plenty of time; we can wait. Why are you in such a hurry now?
Mo Wenjie shook his head and said to Huang Ling'er, "If you want to leave, I won't stop you. But today, this dragon spirit must give me a reason before I can rest. Although I know I'm not its match, it shouldn't be easy for it to harm me. As a cultivator, we should go forward without fear of death and adversity. If I show fear, how can I accomplish great things in the future? So even if I die today, I won't retreat an inch. Moreover, it can't even hurt me; today it must give me an answer or we will go all out!"
Huang Ling'er shook her head helplessly and sighed, "That's fate. If it's meant to die, let it be. Who said he was my most loved one? I have no choice but to accept fate!"
The dragon was filled with anger upon hearing Mo Wenjie's words. How dare this little human immortal talk so boldly in front of me? What kind of trash are you? I can squish you with one claw. Why do you even dare to challenge me here? Do you think you have the strength and qualification to do so? I originally wanted to give you a chance, but since you're so presumptuous and greedy, I can no longer be lenient. You really don't know your place, nor do you respect life or death. You think the heavens will be merciful to us, but it is only the self-inflicted suffering that we cannot forgive. Today, I will let you disappear into ashes!
After speaking, the dragon plunged into the sky, extended its front claw and slapped towards Meng Wenjie. "You, this human immortal, must remember that not all immortals can be wronged. Today, I will make sure you understand why you die. You have offended the supreme being you shouldn't have. This is the difference between immortals and immortals. You are just a human immortal; I am a supreme being. Our gap is huge. How dare you challenge me, this supreme being? How can order be maintained if punishment is not meted out? If things go wrong in heavenly court, how can we maintain the order? Today must be your extinction to serve as a warning!"
Huang Ling'er, seeing the dragon's front paw about to strike Meng Wenjie's head, called out urgently: "Go up and show some leniency! My husband is young and naive. Please, Immortal, don't take him for granted. I am here to apologize to you. I beg you to spare my husband. I know he shouldn't have dared to offend you. But I implore you, great person, not to hold a grudge against such a small person as us. Even though you are a superior being exalted above all others, we are just lowly human immortals living at the bottom of the heap. Even a prime minister can bear a boat in his stomach and a general can ride a horse on his shoulders. How can your highness possibly take offense at us these small immortals? Would your greatness have any qualms about forgiving us? I guarantee that my husband will never act so again in the future. I beg you to forgive him this once! I assure you that from now on he will never dare challenge you again. Rest assured, Immortal; I can give you my word!"
The dragon looked at Meng Wenjie coldly and said, "Take a good look at your wife. She's much smarter than you. Don't you think about it? You're just a lower-level immortal from the mortal world. Do you really think you have the nerve to challenge me, an upper immortal? If it weren't for your wife, I would make sure you disappear today. Don't think anyone will forgive you or give you face. You're wrong. You have no face in front of these upper immortals, and no one will take you seriously. Don't think that if you offend someone, they will let you off easily. You're overthinking it. If today wasn't your wife begging me for mercy, and if I were in a good mood, I would have made sure that you died today! So think twice before acting imprudent again!"
Huang Ling'er heard what the dragon said, and her heart finally relaxed. "Thank you, Imortal, for your magnanimity. Thank you for sparing my husband's life. I will bow to you here in gratitude. I hope that your strength will soar to new heights!"
Meng Wen, upon hearing the dragon's words, became irate. "What kind of scum are you to dare threaten me like that? I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, come and attack me. You're just a pretentious upper immortal; what can you do to me? I don't believe you can do anything to me today. If you really have the courage, show it! Are you afraid that I'll be scared of you? If I were afraid of you, I wouldn't have become an immortal!"
Huang Ling'er listened to Meng Wenjie's words and almost cried. "I'm helping you by pleading for mercy, and you still can't show some modesty? What should I do?"
