Wang Xiao had just arrived with his people outside the City Lord's mansion when, suddenly, the situation in the sky changed!
A voice, like a great bell, boomed out: "Old Ghost Sun, I won't fight you anymore, see you next time!"
Sun Hong laughed heartily: "Old Locust! Don't go, I've been holding it in for over thirty years, at least let me have my fill before you leave!"
As they spoke, they exchanged several more blows, the fight dyeing the clouds across the sky, fiery clouds burning the heavens!
Then, the black dragon formed of locusts flicked its tail, turned, and plunged into the clouds, vanishing in an instant!
Sun Hong looked into the clouds for a while, confirming that the enemy had gone far away, before passing through the city's protective formation and landing outside the City Lord's mansion!
Wang Xiao saw his chance to flatter his master and hurriedly trotted forward to greet him.
At this moment, many people also emerged from the City Lord's mansion!
Wang Xiao immediately spotted the City Lord, the principal of Jincheng High School, Zhong Li's grandfather, Yan Ruoyun's grandfather, Hua Jinlong's grandfather...
Wang Xiao ignored this group of old fellows and ran directly to Sun Hong, shouting loudly: "Immortal Sun Hong, boundless power, may you enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens!"
Sun Hong had just driven away the powerful enemy and was in a good mood, but upon hearing his disciple's words, the smile on his face instantly froze!
Damn it!
How could he shout out such shameless words!
The corners of his mouth twitched as he suppressed the urge to beat Wang Xiao to death, saying: "Disciple, you're back!"
"Yes, Master, this disciple, though far away, heard that someone dared to cause trouble for Master, and immediately rushed back to cheer you on! I was fortunate enough to witness Master's great power, beating the opponent until they ran away with their tails between their legs!"
Then, Wang Xiao began chanting the slogan again: "Immortal Sun Hong, boundless power, may you enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as the heavens!"
Sun Hong felt his old face had nowhere to hide!
This brat, although I like to hear people flatter me, you should do it in private when no one is around!
In front of so many people, he felt a little embarrassed!
The others were even more enlightened, especially those who liked to curry favor, all looking at Wang Xiao with admiration!
Especially Wang Lei, 'As expected of my boss, even his flattery skills are so strong, I must learn from him!'
At this moment, the old City Lord came over and said: "Senior Sun Hong, magnificent display of power! Driving away the 'Magic Locust,' this junior has prepared a banquet in the mansion to thank Senior Sun for protecting Jincheng!"
Sun Hong smiled and exchanged pleasantries with everyone, then said: "The banquet is unnecessary, the old demon has already gone far away, stop the city's protective formation, and everyone should go back to what they were doing! This old man has been fighting fiercely for several days and is a little tired, so I will go back to rest first!"
After he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Wang Xiao, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
Wang Xiao's vision blurred, and he found himself already at the entrance of the Dawn Secret Realm, outside the small house where Sun Hong lived.
He said dissatisfied: "Master, why didn't you bring Ruoyun and the others along!"
Sun Hong snorted: "Always thinking about your little wife! You ungrateful thing, gone for three years, and you still remember this master!"
Wang Xiao chuckled and said: "Master, you don't know! This disciple has been thinking of you every day for the past three years! Look, this disciple has even brought you a gift!"
As he spoke, he took out a small, exquisitely crafted wooden box from his spatial conch.
He opened the wooden box, and inside were cigars thicker than fingers.
Wang Xiao introduced: "Master! These are cigars that this disciple risked his life to obtain, venturing into other worlds, surviving countless dangers! I call these cigars 'cigars,' Master, please try one!"
Alright!
This guy Wang Xiao, even got cigars!
The so-called risking his life, surviving countless dangers, don't even mention whether Sun Hong believes it, even Wang Xiao himself doesn't believe it.
But one thing, Wang Xiao didn't lie, the cigars did come from other worlds.
This was high-quality tobacco that he snatched from the Fox Tribe in the Pangu Realm, it was a different-world variety, after ripening and drying, its color was like gold, its texture like silk.
Wang Xiao followed the cigar-making process on Earth, having people experiment repeatedly many times before creating it.
He himself didn't smoke, these cigars were specially brought back to honor Sun Hong.
Sure enough, Sun Hong immediately became interested!
He had been fighting the leader of the Black Gu Master Alliance for five or six days, and naturally had no time to smoke while fighting, in fact, his nicotine addiction had long since kicked in.
Now hearing Wang Xiao's introduction, he immediately became interested!
Sun Hong picked up a cigar, and under Wang Xiao's guidance, cut off both ends, lit it, and then took a deep puff!
(Saw on TV that smoking cigars requires cutting off the ends, don't know why, is there anyone who understands who can explain? Don't spray if you're not sure!)
"Invigorating!"
After taking a deep puff, Sun Hong contentedly exhaled a plume of smoke and praised it!
Indeed, smoking cigars brought him a different kind of wonderful experience!
Wang Xiao hurriedly said: "It's good that Master likes it, at least this disciple's efforts weren't in vain! I've brought back the seeds of this tobacco, in the future, this disciple will personally grow tobacco for you and make cigars for Master to enjoy!"
Sun Hong nodded: "Well, you're a filial little brat, didn't forget about your master!"
As he spoke, he crumpled the cigar in his hand into a ball and stuffed it into his tobacco pipe, lighting it again and smoking it.
"Cigars are fine, the taste is alright, but I still like smoking my pipe!"
He said, glancing at Wang Xiao again, and said: "Wang Xiao, you're good, you and your little wife are both fourth-level Gu Masters! Hmm, not bad, not bad! Even faster than your eldest brother's advancement!"
Wang Xiao hurriedly said: "It's all thanks to Master's guidance!"
Sun Hong chuckled and said: "Bullshit! I didn't teach you much, I saw a long time ago that you little brat has secrets! So all along, I've been too lazy to care about you!"
As he spoke, he puffed a few times, then said: "Wang Xiao, I sensed a murderous aura from you! This isn't your murderous aura, it should be the Blood Shadow Mantis that has been refined, right!"
Wang Xiao chuckled: "Master's eyes are like torches, discerning everything, I knew I couldn't hide it from you!"
Sun Hong nodded: "You little brat has skills! I originally thought that you would need at least a dozen or twenty years to refine the Blood Shadow Mantis, I didn't expect you to refine it so quickly!"
"Hehe, luck! Luck!"
Sun Hong puffed, finally finishing the tobacco!
He knocked the ashes out of his pipe on the ground and continued: "Wang Xiao, there's a word I told you before! In life, one must have a righteous heart! It doesn't matter if you're greedy for money or lustful, but you can't yield on matters of principle! If you go down Luo Xiao's old path, this old man will risk everything to kill you and clear the door!"
Sun Hong said this very seriously!
Wang Xiao immediately knelt down in front of him: "Master, don't compare Luo Xiao and me, he can't compare to me! He single-mindedly pursued power, and for that, he betrayed his master and went astray!
But I, Wang Xiao, am different, no matter how I go, I can always walk ahead of others! Since that's the case, I have a grand and righteous path to take, why would I go down a crooked path!
Therefore, Master, please rest assured, this disciple will never go down Luo Xiao's old path!"
After hearing this, Sun Hong pulled Wang Xiao up: "Good, my good disciple! Master isn't scaring you, but warning myself, you little brat doesn't know what secrets you have, your talent is so high that even I'm afraid! I'm afraid that if you ever go astray, no one in the world will be able to control you!"
"That's impossible! Even if I become the number one in the world, you'll still be my master, if you want to beat me, punish me, or scold me, I won't dare to resist at all!"
