Chapter 1635: Don't Laugh, Must Resist! (2)

"Husband, you're back..."

Right after entering, both Su Yu and Great Zhou King blanked out. What was this?

They found themselves inside a simple-looking house.

A woman was standing inside the courtyard, looking grudgingly at a man standing outside. This was the same woman who had spoken earlier.

Both Su Yu and Great Zhou King were surprised. When did Silk Destroying King get himself a wife?

Was this for real?

Wasn't he supposed to be an old foreveralone?

How odd.

Why did he hide his wife from the public? They could see that this was a residence hidden amid an ordinary residential zone.

Silk Destroying King, who had entered after them, looked up at the sky silently. He did not want to relive this memory.

This painful memory.

The Silk Destroying King in this memory was still young and handsome. But they could also see that this wasn't actually that long ago. As Invincibles, they could freely alter their appearance. Clearly, Silk Destroying King had maintained a much younger appearance in front of his beloved woman.

Nothing interesting happened. It was merely the regular scene of a couple in love. They kept whispering sweet words to each other, occasionally planting a peck or two on the other's face. Thus, Su Yu and Great Zhou King felt rather tortured to stay here.

But they decided to be patient.

This was perfectly normal. A scene like this was no big deal. However, they felt quite uncomfortable when they recalled that Silk Destroying King was actually rather old. He was supposed to be old, mature, and solemn.

But there was actually such a soft and romantic side to him?

Hehehe.

No wonder he didn't want them to see this.

But they were still quite curious. Would such a normal scene create such a massive wave?

In fact, the wave was even bigger than the waves involving his battles with the Silkwyrm King. Perhaps...a major battle was coming?

But at this point, Great Zhou King started looking at Su Yu in hesitation. It would be rude for them to continue. Should they leave?

Su Yu rubbed his chin and considered the same.

What a surprise.

Silk Destroying King looked like such a normal man, and it wasn't even that big of a deal for him to be a loving husband. But why...was the wave so big? Why did he feel so strongly about this moment? Was this moment so much more exciting to him, compared to even his battles against enemy Invincibles?

Just then, something happened.

The loving couple was having a meal when Silk Destroying King said, "For now, avoid going out too much. Do not go to Great Xia. As of late, things have been chaotic in Great Xia. They just lost a principal not long ago..."

Lost a principal?

Su Yu estimated that this was a matter from the year before the previous year.

Was this about Jin Yuhui? That was someone killed by Zhu Tiandao.

"Principal?"

"Yes. From a cultural research academy..." Silk Destroying King answered nonchalantly. But abruptly, the woman shot up and flew away.

As Silk Destroying King's beloved, she was naturally no weakling.

Silk Destroying King hurriedly caught up to her and asked, "Lan, what is up with you?"

"Stop following me! Go away!"

"Lan..."

"I'm leaving! I'm going to Great Xia! I don't have a connection to my main body! Did something happen to Tiansheng?"

While crying sorrowfully, the woman vanished.

As for Silk Destroying King, he froze.

He shouted, "What are you talking about? What main body?"

"Farewell, Husband. Don't miss me. I'm only a clone, not a main body. When you see me in the future, call me...Lan Tian."

"..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Su Yu and Great Zhou King hurriedly left the memory even as the Silk Destroying King in the memory wailed in boundless despair, "IMPOSSIBLE!"

***

Su Yu and Great Zhou King waited silently outside the wave.

Moments later, Silk Destroying King exited the wave with an unsightly expression. This experience must have left quite a big wave on his river as well.

Both Su Yu and Great Zhou King said nothing.

The three continued moving ahead in silence. Suddenly, Su Yu said with a slight grimace, "Your Majesty, this is such a beautiful river!"

"Yes, what a beautiful river...hahaha..."

Great Zhou King started laughing. Su Yu joined him and laughed as well. The two pointed at the river below them and laughed so hard they were tearing up. Behind them, the gloomy Silk Destroying King glared at the two and asked, "What are you laughing about?"

"The beautiful river!"

The two resumed laughing. They were definitely laughing about the beautiful river. Nothing else. Definitely.

They finally knew why that seemingly simple scene had left such a large wave on Silk Destroying King's river.

After a while, Su Yu finally stopped laughing. He turned solemn out of nowhere and gravely said, "Senior, how did you get yourself fooled by Lan Tian's disguise?"

Silk Destroying King's face fell. While gnashing his teeth, he said, "Without a direct connection to his main body, he felt the same as everyone else...stop looking at me like that! I doubt I'm his only victim! That bastard! That asshole!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Su Yu coughed awkwardly. Great Zhou King coughed awkwardly as well. He flashed an awkward smile and said, "Uhm...you...well, just pretend Lan Tian is a woman...cough, cough. No, wait, that clone of his was basically a real woman...cough, cough. Uhm...without a connection to the main body, the main body wouldn't know about anything you did with her...before the clone was reunified with the main body..."

Silk Destroying King had an ashen expression.

Su Yu gasped and said, "Senior, why did you spare him after that? You have my admiration for your patience!"

Silk Destroying King merely glared at Su Yu coldly. Lan Tian was simply too good at hiding. Eventually, he started working with Wan Tiansheng, rendering him impossible to kill.

Su Yu looked up at the sky again and pretended like he had said nothing.

After a while, he coughed and said, "If you ask me, you can probably change your title after this. Why don't you call yourself Lan Destroying King? Or Heaven (Tian) Destroying King? Yes! Heaven Destroying King! That is such a cool name!"

Silk Destroying King gnashed his teeth and said, "Are you trying to make me remember that incident even better than before?"

"..."

Silence.

Su Yu and Great Zhou King still felt like laughing, but they had to resist.

Holy shit!

They couldn't believe it.

That was truly...a miserable experience. This was a secret Silk Destroying King would probably die keeping.

Great Zhou King sighed and said, "No wonder you have insisted on staying in the Human Realm for so many years. At the time, I suspected you of being the traitor. But that seemed too obvious so I reduced my suspicion on you."

Yes. Silk Destroying King had been stationed in the Human Realm for many years at his insistence. He would only leave occasionally to pick a fight with the Silkwyrm King. Apart from that, he would spend all his time in the Human Realm.

Silk Destroying King said nothing. He maintained his cold expression.

So?

What about it?

Great Zhou King coughed again and asked, "What did he get from you?"

Silk Destroying King glared at Great Zhou King again before answering, "Nothing much. He only learned about the rumors and gossip related to the various Invincibles. He must have been investigating something. Maybe he was looking for the traitor as well."

Su Yu thought about it and said, "Maybe he suspected you as well."

"Perhaps."

Silk Destroying King maintained a cold tone. This topic should end here, right? There was no further need to continue this topic, right?

Alas, Great Zhou King couldn't resist. He asked, "You remained single for hundreds of years. Why did you suddenly..."

𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Silk Destroying King roared furiously, "She was attractive. How's that for an answer? Why do you care about my private affairs so much?"

"..."

Great Zhou King nearly laughed again. He hurriedly shut his mouth and stopped asking. When he thought about it, he found it understandable. Lan Tian's clone...well, it wouldn't be surprising for Silk Destroying King to fall for Lan Tian's clone, considering the quality of his clones.

And thus, the three continued ahead with an awkward silence. After a while, Silk Destroying King said, "Do not leak this. Or...I won't let this slide, even if I'm not your match! Remember this!"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Of course. But I can't promise anything about Lan Tian..."

Silk Destroying King gnashed his teeth and said, "He might not know anything. That clone was eventually killed by me. He might not have been able to retrieve the memories of that clone before then."

"You killed your beloved Lan?"

Great Zhou King sighed and said, "No matter what, she was your wife..."

Silk Destroying King roared madly, "Zhou! Are you trying to make me your enemy?"

"..."

Great Zhou King sighed again, but he said nothing. Fine, fine. He did not want to provoke this into madness like Great Yuan King. So be it.

Both Su Yu and Great Zhou King decided to stop saying anything about that.

Instead, they would laugh about it inwardly.

Or...they could talk about it through voice transmissions.

And thus, Su Yu sent a voice transmission, "Your Majesty, what do you think? Did Silk Destroying King really kill that clone?"

"Hard to say. Do you remember that soft and gentle expression of his in that memory? Could he actually bring himself to kill her?"

"Did he...lock her up somewhere?"

"Maybe."

"Tsk tsk. What an incredible gossip. Your Majesty, would the future historians write about this in Silk Destroying King's biography?"

"Uhm...if someone wants to do this, they should use a unique method to hide it among the official history books. Make it so that...only those at the Daofuse realm can see it. With this, Silk Destroying won't be able to see it."

"I don't think something like this should be included in the official historical records. That's too rude. Just include it in the unofficial historical records."

"..."

The two couldn't resist talking about it among themselves. This was simply too amusing.

Behind them, Silk Destroying King was looking at them suspiciously, but the two maintained the same solemn expression, as though they were only focused on the river instead of gossiping.

"Are you sending voice transmissions to each other?" Silk Destroying King asked.

Su Yu replied, "Enough about that matter, Senior. I'm more concerned about the matter fifty years ago. What were you doing when the fifth principal died?"

Su Yu's solemn expression reminded Silk Destroying King of what he was doing here. Thus, he snorted and said nothing else.

With Silk Destroying King silent, Su Yu and Great Zhou King continued gossiping about him. For them, this was a worthy topic to discuss. They also wondered if Silk Destroying King was Lan Tian's sole victim. Were there others?

Lan Tian...what an incredible existence.

What if there were more Invincible victims out there? Holy...

Meanwhile, Silk Destroying King was still staring at the two. He was now certain that the two were conversing privately, but he couldn't be sure about what they were talking about. Were they talking about him? Or were they talking about the traitor?

How annoying.

Silk Destroying King cursed inwardly. With this, the two greatest shames of his life would be known to all.

With the Silkwyrm King dead, his first shame no longer mattered.

But Lan Tian...damn that bastard! Silk Destroying King swore to kill Lan Tian the next time he saw Lan Tian.

The three continued traversing the river, entering one wave after another. Eventually, the weight became too heavy for Silk Destroying King to support alone. Thus, Great Zhou King started helping as well.
