Dragon Tamer - Chapter 613

Chapter 613: Chapter 615: The Divine Chosen
 

Zhu Minglang had an epiphany.

He understood why he was always said to be a man who lived off the prosperity of others.

In the entire Bone Temple of the wilderness, there were a good thousand or two thousand people. Setting aside the issues of the God’s people and God’s Descendants having advantages in bloodline, temperament, and divine charm, just considering looks alone, he easily made it into the top three. Moreover, he was directly pointed out in such a dense crowd!

Some people, like fireflies in the night, no matter how low-key and quiet they were, would still be recognized at a glance. Their lives were destined to never be plain and simple.

It was precisely this unique beauty that brought him too much slander and envy.

He had to bear the unfairness of this world.

If Shang Zhuang wasn’t throwing him out to be eaten by the Night Demoness, Zhu Minglang really could have forgiven his shrewdness and honesty.

“So the God’s people just hide in here, like a child intimidated by timidity, pushing others out to die?” Zhu Minglang retorted.

“Hehe, we, the people of the Sparrow Wolf Divine City, will certainly face no danger to our lives. What I care about is the other mortals in this Bone Temple. If the Night Demoness truly breaks in recklessly, tell me, how many of you seated here would survive? Three men in exchange for a thousand or two, am I not blessing you all?” Shang Zhuang said with immense pride.

“That’s right!”

“Yes, we can’t let you three bring disaster upon all of us.”

“It’s your own bad luck, and besides, you might be people despised by the deities. Perhaps you’ve done something to insult them in the past, and that’s why you’ve encountered this disaster. If you want to redeem your souls, just do as Shang Zhuang wishes!”

Inside the Bone Temple, there were basically no dissenting opinions.

And the bearded man who hesitated for a long time, just as he was about to speak, heard the Night Demoness let out an extremely piercing scream.

The cry of the Night Demoness showed her extreme impatience, and people even felt her cold killing intent, as if she would burst in immediately if she didn’t get the three men she wanted.

For a moment, people joined forces and hustled the three handsome men out.

…

Next to Zhu Minglang was a young boy, with rosy lips and white teeth, delicate features, giving an impression of innocence and obedience.

He was very afraid and instinctively leaned a bit closer to the older Zhu Minglang. After all, when the three of them were thrown out, only he dared to question Shang Zhuang, the God’s people; the other two were basically meek and compliant.

The other person was a Cultivator. After being thrown out, he radiated hatred toward the people of the Bone Temple, but as the Night Demoness approached them, he callously shoved the young boy, wanting him to die first in his stead.

Zhu Minglang, quick-eyed and agile, grabbed the boy and pulled him back.

We’re all handsome men, why make things difficult for each other?

“Thank… Thank you,” the boy stuttered as he looked at Zhu Minglang.

“Stand behind me,” Zhu Minglang told the boy.

“If someone has to die, you two go first!” the Cultivator said, seeing the Night Demoness approaching, and then he took off running.

The Night Demoness didn’t chase after him but continued to move closer step by step. Her long tongue was licking her bright red lips, and her strange eyes shone with mischief and cruelty.

She seemed to be considering who to eat first.

The tender-fleshed boy or the increasingly attractive handsome young man.

Zhu Minglang had heard what the people of the Wolf God City had said.

This was an old Demon King with a cultivation base of eighty thousand years. Zhu Minglang was not afraid; he was only worried about other things in the dark night.

In the darkness, other things did not approach this place.

It seemed that the Night Demoness had claimed this place, marking her hunting territory, so other Dark Wanderers would not come to disturb it.

With this in mind, Zhu Minglang felt much more at ease.

“Such a fragrant smell,” the Night Demoness used the tip of her nose, sniffing from a few meters away the scent of the two individuals, but suddenly, the Night Demoness’s face changed. Her fair skin revealed dense, engorged blood vessels, turning her face into a ghastly and ferocious mask like that of evil spirits!

“You dare to deceive me!” the Night Demoness suddenly glared at the youth, filled with anger.

“I… I…” the youth stammered.

“I only want men!” The Night Demoness’s pupils dilated.

Zhu Minglang turned to glance at the young boy hiding behind him and then at the extremely enraged Night Demoness.

He’s still just a boy??

But a fifteen or sixteen-year-old is indeed a boy, what’s normal about that, unlike myself who is already a true man!

“Use whatever method you have on me, but don’t trouble a child,” Zhu Minglang said to the Night Demoness.

The Night Demoness moved a step closer, greedy, famished, yet somewhat cautious.

She sniffed Zhu Minglang’s scent again with the tip of her nose, but in the next moment, the Night Demoness’s blood-engorged terrifying face suddenly reverted back to a pale, delicate woman’s and, as if seeing a ghost, retreated backward in an abnormal way, until she was hiding in the darkest shadows, leaving only half of her unsettled face visible!

“???” Zhu Minglang was full of confusion.

Could it be that my looks truly scare off gods and ghosts??

“Divine Chosen! Shang Zhuang, I sincerely made a deal with you, yet you thought to deceive and kill me, I will not let the people going to Que Wolf Divine City off, not ever!!” the Night Demoness hissed furiously from a safe place.

Divine Chosen???

All eyes in the Bone Temple were suddenly fixed on Zhu Minglang.

This man was chosen by the gods?

The candidate of the gods!

The status of a Divine Chosen was even higher than that of a God’s Descendant.

Not every God’s Descendant would be favored by the gods, or be regarded as a successor of the gods. A Divine Chosen, on the other hand, could already be considered a Loose Immortal!

Shang Zhuang and the others from the Wolf God City also displayed looks of disbelief.

“My god, what are we doing? We actually dared to chase the Divine Chosen out of the Bone Temple. With him here, even if Nightmares appear, we need not worry about not seeing the dawn,” someone in the crowd exclaimed.

The Night Demoness was not the most terrifying presence in the darkness.

If one was unlucky enough to encounter Nightmares, none of the steles, bone figures, or Divine Stones erected in the Bone Temple would work, and even the guidance of the Divine Starlight by a God’s Descendant would have no effect. No one can survive a night with Nightmares, unless they were within a Divine Temple, Divine City, or Divine Mountain…

People like God’s people could at most have some deterrent effect on nocturnal beings, and if they encountered an entity with a higher Cultivation Base, they would still have to retreat and compromise.

But a Divine Chosen was entirely different. Nightmares like the Night Demoness would surely be annihilated by the Bone Stele imbued with Divine Power within the Bone Temple if they dared to enter.

The presence of a Divine Chosen could revive the sacred deterrent force of the silent steles in the wilderness!
