1393 I Will Accompany You to the End (1/2)

”Oh gross, I haven't seen this old b*stard for lifetimes, and this is how he ends up. He's horrifying and dirty, and I don't want to carry him on my back,” Buttface said as he looked at the creature that had been in the grave with a disgusted look on his face.

”Since you've said this, I'm now really curious. What exactly is the species of this seafood?” Xu Que asked, as he'd been surprised at what had come out of the tomb.

”This is...can't you guess?” Buttface pointed at the creature and turned toward Xu Que. ”This is the Sea Tribe's king, and they call it the Sea King.”

”Sea King?”

Xu Que raised his brows in wonder. ”Is this a sea cucumber?”

The Sea King was what is commonly called a sea cucumber. On Earth, this wasn't just a precious food ingredient, it was also a famous medicinal ingredient. It was even recorded in the Compendium of Medical Herbs. It had a salty flavor, and it was said to nourish kidneys, marrow, and help with urination. It was also thought to cure impotence and was on a par with ginseng.

”That's right, I remember now. You humans also call this a sea cucumber.” Buttface nodded as he remembered.

”F*ck! Buttface, this is good stuff. We now have a way to cure your illness,” Xu Que spoke with delight as he patted Buttface on the shoulder.

This large sea cucumber was 10,000 years old. They could use it to make a nourishing soup.

”F*ck! When did I get ill?” Buttface asked as he jumped in fright.

”Aren't you a little...that's not right, it isn't just a little...you're very impotent. Buttface, I have to inform you that this sea cucumber is good at strengthening your thing.” Xu Que made a silly face as he laughed at Buttface.

Buttface knew Xu Que was teasing him, but he still felt insulted. This was why he promptly yelled, ”What the h*ll can it strengthen?”

”That's right, that's right.” Xu Que kept on nodding.

”Right...what's right?” Buttface was completely confused.

”F*ck!”

All of a sudden, a loud RUMBLE that was caused by a heavy object falling could be heard echoing all around.

Buttface shouted promptly, ”F*ck! I've almost forgotten something. Lad, take him quickly to the palace and let's replace this Spirit Core. If we don't do so, the Spirit Core will collapse.”

”F*ck!

Upon hearing this, Xu Que waved his hand. The whole palace shook, and it started flying up.

Buttface carried the sea cucumber on his shoulders with no regard to its dirtiness as he quickly headed out and left this place with Xu Que.

RUMBLE!

The next instant, the Snow Palace fell heavily upon the room that had contained the Black Jade Stone box and the dark iron shackles.

PHEW! ”We succeeded.” Buttface heaved a sigh of relief when he realized how close they had come to not succeeding.

”Fine, let's not waste our breath. Let's handle our proper business quickly.” Xu Que wasn't in the mood to joke with Buttface. Even if this sea cucumber was quite nourishing, this still wasn't a good time to eat it.

Their top priority was an urgent matter related to his survival.

.....

SWOOSH!

After a short while, the human and the dog rushed out of the mountain range. Xu Que took the lead and Buttface, who was carrying the large sea cucumber, followed him closely.

Their objective was quite clear. It was the mountain range where Xuanyuan Wanrong was situated.

According to their time calculations, they had just one last night left. The next day was the day of Xu Que's demise as mentioned in the prophecy.

Success or failure would be determined by this endeavor!

”Lad, if we make the wrong guess, what will happen? If you're really not related to that woman, then everything you've done will bring about your destruction.” On their way to the mountain range, Buttface got serious and questioned Xu Que. This was something rarely seen.

His sole worry was karma!

If, in the end, Xu Que died after his arrival in the Four Continents, then the prophecy would be the real reason why Xu Que had died.

This was why Xu Que was gambling with the conclusion. He gambled that his death was going to be due to Xuanyuan Wanrong, as well as the Heavenly Book of Taiyi.

Now, they were going to change where Xuanyuan Wanrong was, and this was tantamount to saving Xuanyuan Wanrong, as well as Xu Que.

”It doesn't matter, there are some things you must do even if you know the final outcome,” Xu Que replied calmly.
