Chapter 620: Not Afraid of Death

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The Black Jade People are a savage clan. They are violent by nature, greedy and enjoy bullying the weak while fearing the strong”

Xie Dong was far beneath the lake in the little house. He had his palm open and there was a pig-shaped red print. He was using this print to communicate with Ren Ruofeng, who was millions of miles away.

He could not help asking a question before submitting his report.

“Advisor, the River God of the Sky River seems to be an upright God who protects the people with the Heart River. Why is he protecting these savages in the Upper Realm?”

An informant was not supposed to be asking such questions.

He was not only an informant, but Xie Dong was also the Public Relations Team Leader.

He needed to know more information to be able to understand how better to communicate with other Powerhouses and improve his capability.

“Not everyone has a pure heart and noble spirit like the Venerable One. The River God of Sky River is bestowed with the title ‘God’. There must be a reason for it. What does the clan’s moral characteristic mean to him? All he needs to do is provide the source of his power and that will be enough,” Ren Ruofeng replied almost immediately.

“Yes, you are right. But this plan of acting as the God of the Lake has failed, what do I do?” Xie Dong asked dejectedly.

“How has it failed? It is exactly the opposite. Once that man returns home, he will be informing everyone of your prowess...”

“Erm, but I’m just a Bucket-level, what prowess do I have?” Xie Dong was slightly agitated.

“Stop this nonsense. You may be a Bucket-level but you have backing. That man is well- aware of it,” said Ren Ruofeng pointedly.

“Oh, do you mean the Venerable Dragon God?” realized Xie Dong.

“Yes. That is why you can continue to be the God of the Lake without any worries of anyone beating you to death. I am constantly strategizing and would never not compute this sort of mistake...” Ren Ruofeng answered indifferently while waving his fan.

“Erm, in that case, I will try my best to soldier on,” Xie Dong replied without much confidence in his words.

Ren Ruofeng was used to duping others but does not allow himself to be conned in return. He was able to tell if someone was truthful.

However, even if one was to be able to see through the lies, there was nothing much a person could do. Ren Ruofeng was a high-level leader, and his words were not to be ignored.

“This is not a correct attitude to have! What do you mean ‘try’? You have only been God of the Lake for one day and you are already shaken? With this sort of thinking, how are you to experience the vastness and profoundness of the lake? How would you be able to maintain your cultivation after you advance?” Ren Ruofeng chided.

“Advisor, I am only a Bucket-level and don’t have much confidence. You have no idea how strong that man from the Black Jade People was. If I didn’t have the Little House Relic you gave me, I would have been beaten to death with his oars...” Xie Dong said with a grievance.

“You’re still afraid of death... It’s normal. Don’t be afraid. In this case, let me tell you a secret.” Ren Ruofeng consoled Xie Dong.

“What kind of secret will help me with the courage to face death?” Xie Dong asked disbelievingly.

“The secret is... The Dragon Venerable God is able to resurrect the dead...” Ren Ruofeng lowered his voice.

“This, this is uncanny! Even if the Gods of the Upper Realm come down to Earth, they wouldn’t be able to restore this divine skill in decades.” Xie Dong was astonished.

His reaction was not surprising, resurrecting the dead in one piece was an ability only found in legends.

If this ability was only found in legends and myths, it was impossible that it existed in the real world.

“You will understand once you see these pictures!” Ren Ruofeng was unhappy at being doubted.

What Xie Dong witnessed next was a few images reflected from red pig print from his open palm.

It was the image of the Black and White Dolphin being cut in half by the Spiritual Lunar Devils. The picture was slightly blurred and the lighting effect was bad. It did not look like it was taken by a camera.

Xie Dong understood that it was a memory being recalled by the Nets Above Snares Below.

More images started to appear.

He watched as the Dragon Venerable God collected the remains of the two dolphins and returned from the heavens after the battle. The went back into the sea and was turned back into two lively creatures...

The wheels turned in Xie Dong’s head as he faced this question of life and death, “Wait, the Venerable One might resurrect these two dolphins but it doesn’t mean that he will choose to do the same with me... I recall him handling many disasters but didn’t revive any of the innocents who died.”

“Of course! He is a hero, not Buddha or a saint. If he were to resurrect someone, he would need to pay a terrible price so he will pick those who are on his side and close to him. Do you know the meaning of a hero? In the olden days, it was a synonym for pulling associates together in a group...” Ren Ruofeng explained while shaking his head.

Xie Dong attempted to compliment him, “Erm, this is very wise of you, Advisor. Unfortunately, I am not someone close to him at all...”

“Obviously you are not thinking straight, you can get close to him. Do you really need me to spell it out for you when you’ve worked in Public Relations for so many years?” Ren Ruofeng explained exasperatedly.

“Oh, understood, understood.” Xie Dong hit himself on the head. With Ren Ruofeng’s endorsement, he need not worry about his job being compromised if he remained close to Vigilante A.

“Hmm, speaking of which, you’d better be careful. The Truth Department and the Dragon Venerable God have your back. Your mission is a very difficult but significant one. It will determine if you have a bright future. The strength of Lake-level is waiting for you,” said Ren Ruofeng at the end.

He was not about to give Xie Dong this power. If he did, it would place him at a disadvantage in further observation of this newbie in the Upper Realm Clan.

“Yes, noted, Advisor. I will end the connection now.”

“Go ahead.”

Xie Dong closed his fist and ended the communication. Then he went back into the little house to toss and turn on his bed.

A few fish fry swam near the windows of the little house, curious about what was happening inside.

“Get close? How do I get close? Aha, I have an idea.”

Xie Dong had earned the trust of the people around him in the Public Relations Department by being honest and sincere.

When he gained the ability to recognize truth from lies, it enhanced his capabilities in dealing with people.

He laid on his bed pondering for a while and suddenly sat up with his eyes gleaming.

...

Fang Ning gave a long yawn. He had spent these few days catching up on the latest novels that had him reading until dawn.

Sir seemed to be quite cautious around bringing up the matter of rent and had been quite lenient to his homeowner.

Luckily, he was not completely insufferable. Fang Ning always felt a pang of guilt after finding himself wasting time. He would not go to sleep immediately after reading his online novels but instead would spend some time doing work.

Today, he turned on his computer to manage some work when he noticed an incoming message.

It was from Xie Dong, whom he had just met...

...

He shouted out immediately, “Sir, you don’t need to worry about weirdos...”

“What? Let me check the news,” replied Sir immediately. He had just thrown a few roadside robbers into the backyard’s security cell.

“XX said he didn’t commit murder, which is a lie...”

“XXX stole a few antique treasures but claimed they were inherited, which were also lies...”

“XX from the Fish Village is known as the Village Wiseman but is actually a Village Bully...”

“People such as these are many and it is all thanks to the work of somebody named Xie for the past few decades. The only problem was the lack of evidence, which made it impossible to handle them properly. Would the Venerable One please help to bring justice to light?”

“Hey, this is a valuable person... Even my system map was unable to reflect these felons,” said Sir excitedly.

“Yes, there are many highly capable people in the world. We need to be humble and careful so as not to be arrogant or rash.” said Fang Ning thoughtfully.

“I’ve always been humble. You, Mr. Rich Boss, on the other hand, are always pretentious...” said Sir resentfully.

“What are you saying? This homeowner of yours is getting a little tired. I can’t hear clearly,” Fang Ning asked uncertainly.

“I said, Mr. Rich Boss you are most wise.” said Sir, deciding to follow through on being more courteous.

“That’s better.”
