This is a humiliation of the highest order!
Even if Jiang Qiu were a courtesan!
She was still Shen Lang's kept canary!
Now, being summoned here by Shen Cong to humiliate Shen Lang, it was clear how wicked this fellow was!
Shen Lang was not angry: "Women are like clothes, brothers are like limbs. If I had known that Big Brother fancied Jiang Qiu, I should have helped her redeem her freedom and sent her to Big Brother's mansion!"
"As for whether she can fill her body and mind... Big Brother, just listen to it, because she said the same thing to me. Never take the words of a woman of the wind and dust seriously!"
"Otherwise, people will take you for a fool!"
"Big Brother shouldn't be a fool, right?"
His words made Shen Cong and Shen Fei show surprise!
In their memory, Shen Lang had always been an unlettered, good-for-nothing wastrel!
But based on his performance today, he was by no means a foolish or ignorant person!
His sharp words were difficult for even Shen Cong to parry!
Shen Lang smiled: "Big Brother, Third Brother, how shall we compete today? Is there a wager?"
Shen Cong said: "It's the old rule, whoever hunts more demonic beasts within the allotted time decides the winner by quantity! As for the loser... this time let's play a cruel game, go to Immortal Mountain to tear off a divine talisman!"
Chen Nan raised an eyebrow!
Divine talisman?
Could it be the divine talisman that Long Ao mentioned?
Before entering the small world, Long Ao had warned him that there was a divine talisman in the ninth small world. If he could tear it off, it would bring him many benefits!
Shen Lang said: "Immortal Mountain is a forbidden area in our world. Let alone us cultivators of the Golden Core stage, even Father King dares not approach!"
Shen Fei's mouth curved upwards: "Could it be that Fourth Brother is afraid?"
"Let's go, let's go, what's the big deal?"
Shen Lang was furious, very much in character!
"In that case, let's begin!" Shen Cong said: "We will meet here at the hour of You!"
"Alright!"
Shen Lang readily agreed and took Chen Nan, the steward, and Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju into the hunting ground!
There were restrictions here, so no flying swords!
So, they had to ride horses!
"Sir, in this competition, it seems we have already lost!"
By noon, Shen Lang let out a bitter smile: "As far as I know, there are thousands of demonic beasts in the hunting ground, and yet we have searched for two hours and haven't encountered a single one!"
Chen Nan said: "If I guessed correctly, the demonic beasts here should have been dispersed by someone, with the intention of causing Your Highness to lose today's competition!"
Shen Lang's eyes were ferocious: "To make me go to Immortal Mountain to tear off a divine talisman? Hmph, they think too little of me, Shen Lang. Am I the kind of person who keeps his word?"
"Your Highness, there are many demonic beasts here. If nothing unexpected happens, the First Prince and the Third Prince should have dispatched their elite soldiers!" the steward said!
Shen Lang's mouth curved upwards: "No problem!"
------
In the blink of an eye, it was the hour of You!
Shen Lang led Chen Nan and others back to the entrance of the hunting ground!
At this time, Shen Cong and Shen Fei had returned with full hauls, with dozens of demonic beast corpses in front of them!
And behind them, the Azure Dragon Guards and the Imperial Guards, clad in blue and black armor, exuded a killing aura!
The Azure Dragon Guards were a sharp knife under Shen Cong's command!
And the Imperial Guards were the sharp blades of Shen Fei's subordinates!
Their numbers were not large, but they were all at the early Golden Core stage!
Because they were responsible for the safety of the entire imperial city and the palace, each of them possessed a spiritual artifact!
Not to brag!
They were invincible existences in the Golden Core stage!
"Fourth Brother, you didn't happen to catch anything, did you?" Shen Fei feigned surprise: "That shouldn't be the case, it really shouldn't be. You are the one Father King has placed great hope in. How could your luck be so bad?"
Shen Lang looked helpless: "I also didn't expect my luck to be so bad!"
Shen Cong gave a wry smile: "You didn't find any demonic beasts. How will you fill your stomachs tonight? How about I give you a Flaming Horse, so that you and your servant won't starve tonight?" As he spoke, he waved his hand!
A five-colored deer flew before Shen Lang!
Chen Nan exclaimed!
Was this trying to pass a deer off as a horse?
Interesting!
Shen Lang's brow furrowed: "Big Brother, you call this a horse?"
Shen Cong asked: "Isn't this a Flaming Horse?"
Shen Fei interjected: "Fourth Brother, this is clearly a Flaming Horse, what's the problem?"
Huala!
The Imperial Guards behind him took a step forward simultaneously!
The sound of armor clashing was low and powerful!
A killing aura spread from them, giving people a strong sense of oppression!
But Shen Lang was not afraid: "I think it looks like a five-colored deer!"
Shen Cong's face was serious: "Fourth Brother, this is clearly a Flaming Horse, not a five-colored deer! If you don't like eating horse meat, you can tell Big Brother. Why must you treat it as a five-colored deer?"
"If word of this gets out today, where will Big Brother's face go? Will the world think that I passed a deer off as a horse and forced you to compromise with me?"
As he spoke!
The Azure Dragon Guards behind him also took a step forward!
A terrifying killing aura erupted from them!
At this moment!
A hint of unease appeared on Shen Lang's face!
He rubbed his eyes and chuckled awkwardly: "Big Brother is right, this is indeed a Flaming Horse, not a five-colored deer. I must have misidentified it!"
At this moment, he appeared to be timid and afraid of trouble!
Shen Cong laughed heartily: "We are brothers. It is normal for us to have differences of opinion. As long as we communicate well, there is nothing that cannot be resolved!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the Azure Dragon Guards behind him took several steps back!
Shen Lang bowed: "Big Brother, what you say is reasonable. We brothers must communicate well in the future!" He then looked at Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju: "You four, handle this Flaming Horse. Tonight, I want to get drunk with my two brothers!"
"Yes!"
An hour later!
Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju brought the roasted meat, golden in color and fragrant, to the long table!
The three brothers clinked glasses and drank!
They feasted heartily!
As for Chen Nan, he was merely a strategist!
He was not qualified to sit at such an occasion at all!
After two cups of wine, Shen Cong suddenly said: "Fourth Brother, when do you plan to go to Immortal Mountain to tear off the divine talisman?"
Upon hearing this!
Shen Lang's expression froze: "Big Brother, Immortal Mountain is the first forbidden area. Let alone me, even Father King might not be able to return alive if he went there!"
"Do you really want to watch your brother risk his life?"
Shen Cong's face was expressionless: "But that was the wager we made earlier. If you break your word, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
Shen Fei drank some wine: "Fourth Brother, Big Brother is right. You are Father King's most favored son, and you are destined to inherit his throne in the future. If you break your word, you might ruin the reputation of our Wu King's mansion!"
Shen Lang said in a low voice: "If I don't go to Immortal Mountain to tear off the divine talisman, what can my two brothers do to me?"
He had completely fallen out with Shen Cong and Shen Fei!
Shen Cong grinned: "The rules of Wu King's mansion, those who break their word die!"
Shen Lang laughed: "Big Brother, Third Brother, do you really think you can decide my fate?"
"Are you too overestimating yourselves?"
