Hidden God #2 (The Last Immortal)

~Chapter 8~

After hearing Bi Yun's complaint in the open area encircled by the rockery, Ling Juan quickly reached out to take hold of her hand and reassured her gently, saying, "Why are you thinking like that? I only think about you. When my father returns to Bodhi Mountain, I will beg him to go in South Mountain and propose marriage to you."  

Although Ling Juan seemed to be a little reluctant, Bi Yun noticed that he was speaking politely. "Ling Juan, little Fire Phoenix has a noble status. Apart from the young god of Qingchi Palace, there is no immortal lord in the Three Realms who can match him. Can you get it? Don't be delusional, think about your own status! If I marry you, can I only ask you to settle for one?" Bi Yun casually said.  

In addition to being beautiful, Bi Yun is arrogant and high minded. Everyone normally wants to be around her, but when she gets upset, she can say some quite rude and snobbish things. 

A man's greatest dislike is when his sweetheart makes fun of him and says he's not as good as other men, not to mention when a kid with breasts shows up once in a hundred years. With a slightly shady tone, Ling Juan said, "You mean that Yuan Qi of Qingchi Palace? He doesn't necessarily live a comfortable life with such a big name on his head!" as his face darkened instantly. 

There was an unexpected silence both within and outside the rockery as soon as these words were said. Gu Jin was a little taken back to see himself inadvertently burned by the war's flames. He scowled and looked closely at the nearby frightening Ling Juan for the first time. 

"Ling Juan!" Bi Yun looked slightly flustered, looked around and whispered, "How can you make such rash remarks about that True God?"

After witnessing Bi Yun lose her cool, Ling Juan became even more pleased, "The two realms are separated. He enjoys respect in the God Realm. How can he know what I said? Bi Yun, you are too careful. He just have a good birth, he is born higher than us, if he is an ordinary Immortal Lord, how can he be better than me? Besides, even if he has a good status, what's the point? His father's early death and his mother's abandonment....." 

"Shut up!"

The young man's cold voice suddenly sounded outside the path, interrupting what they thought was a secret conversation. 

Startled, Ling Juan and Bi Yun swiftly turned their heads away. They were both taken aback when they saw Gu Jin standing in the moonlight. 

But this immortal lord is too rounded. Given the majority of immortals' good looks, how come there is such a disdain for appearance? He's probably a low-level disciple of some kind of sect. Though Ling Juan was privately relieved, he knew that some people might not believe what this Fat Immortal Lord had said even if they were told. 

"Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping here?" Ling Juan took the initiative, pulled the overwhelmed Bi Yun aside, and shouted to Gu Jin.

"If what you say is real, aren't you afraid of others listening? This is Wutong Island, not your Bodhi Mountain. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?" Gu Jin walked the path with a face brimming with rage. "True God Bai Jue died for the Three Realms a hundred years ago, how can you say anything about it!" 

All of the ancestors from the second generation have an air of arrogance. How could a fat immortal lord from nowhere possibly terrify Ling Juan? 

"You are saying nonsense. When have I ever talked about the True God Bai Jue? It's just that I can't stand that young god. He's just a bumbling young god in Qing Chi Palace," he scoffed while maintaining a straight face.
