Chapter 111 - Di Tian’s Sorrow (1/2)
A/N: Dab

Struck with fright, Di Tian's body involuntarily returned to his human form as he took multiple steps back from the radiant light.
”Y-you! What are you doing here?!”
”Dude, you attacked my Bishops. Of course I'll be here.” Huang Yu replied as a matter of fact. As he scratched the back of his head, the imposing aura that he had built up all this time just went down the gutter.
Di Tian instantly felt as if a massive mountain had been lifted off his ċhėst as he took a deep breath.
Stabilising himself, a serious expression appeared on his face as he looked at Huang Yu. ”You still dare to show up here after what you've done?”
”What have I done actually?” Huang Yu said with a soft laugh, ”I kinda just arrived.”
Di Tian clenched his fists as he heard these words. An image of a blackish dragon appeared behind him as he slowly turned red from anger. ”The Dragon Bones! You stole them from the Dragon Graveyard and betrayed our Lord's trust in you!”
”The Dragon Bones?” Huang Yu asked innocently with a tilt of his head. ”Do you mean… this Dragon Bone?”
As Huang Yu uttered those words, he dug into the pocket of his Robe of the Sage. In a swift movement, he flung his hand out along with a brown femur in his hands.
Seeing this, Di Tian's eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets. He looked at the Dragon Bone that seemed to belong to the Mountain Dragon King, he looked at Guang Biao before he looked back at Huang Yu.
Just as Di Tian opened his mouth to speak, Huang Yu cut him off, ”And this?”
He pulled out another Dragon Bone.
”And this?”
And another.
”And this one too?”
And another.
Soon, an entire pile of Mountain Dragon King femurs were stacked up into a small mountain behind Huang Yu.
Looking behind him, Huang Yu couldn't help but shrug. ”Huh, I guess I really have a lot of them. You gonna fight me too?”
At this point, Di Tian felt as if his worldview was collapsing around him.
In what universe could anyone just toss around the spirit bones of a True Dragon like that?
Scrap that, in what universe could someone just throw away the spirit bones, of not only a million-year-old spirit beast, but also one of the Mountain Dragon King like Chinese Cabbage?
That was completely incomprehensible.
”H-how… did you get so many Mountain Dragon King femurs…”
”I made them.” Huang Yu said as he blew on his fingernails. 'I really hate it when bits of those old bones get in my nails...”

Seeing this, Xiao Chen and Guang Biao couldn't help but sweatdropped. But just as their impression of their King was about to degrade, Romario suddenly sent a spiritual message to them.
”Hey, what's with those faces of yours?”
Xiao Chen let out a grimace as she smoothed her skirt. ”Um, is this King of ours an imposter? He's pretty sus to me…”
As these words were transmitted to Romario, his face contorted into a sneer. ”You fool Xiao Chen! Do you not understand the sagacity of our King?”
”What?” Guang Biao and Xiao Chen had a question mark on their heads at this time.
”You fools don't realise that our King is merely showing his utmost supremacy at this moment!!”
”??”
”Our King is merely proving his utter superiority over the Beast God DI Tian while treating him like a fool in order to show him the impossibly large chasm between them!”
”Yet at the same time, he is playing low-key. Our King doesn't wish to show himself as a figure of hubris and conceit. Don't you know that our King is magnanimous and humble despite his grandeur? He wishes to sow in our hearts that one must be humble in spite of one's strength.”
”All of these actions are instilled in this one simple choice by our King. The two of you should get yourselves together and look properly between the lines!”
At those words, a look of realisation appeared on the faces of the other two Bishops. It immediately shifted into one of self-derision as Guang Biao slammed his fist onto the ground.
”Damn it! So this was the intention of our King all along! He trusted us to construe his actions, but the two of us were too thoughtless to do so...”
Xiao Chen let out a sigh as tears streamed down her face. ”I can't believe I doubted our King! He merely wished to be a brilliant role model for us. How foolish I am for not realising sooner!”
A sagely look appeared on Romario's face as he looked on at Xiao Chen and Guang Biao in pity. ”The two of you shouldn't beat yourselves up over this. The only reason that I could do is because I have dedicated my life to studying the hidden meaning between the actions of my King.”
”In fact, I have even written a book all about the profundities of our King's actions,.” Romario said as he brought out a book, ”I call it the Sacred Scriptures. It's only 399 Federation Credits. Get now before the sale is over.”
”...”

The number of femurs there dwarfed the amount of Mountain Dragon Kings that had existed back then already, so stealing them was out of the question.
Along with the fact that Huang Yu was a person who couldn't be measured by common sense, it may actually be true.
A grim expression appeared on Di Tian's face at this time. It was at this moment, he knew… he fuċkėd up.
