Asura God and Cao Mengde Fall Out

What?

Cao Mengde wanted to sleep with them?

When the three heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and they instinctively grew wary.

Seeing their reaction, Cao Mengde waved a hand casually.

"I was only giving an example."

"Ask yourselves honestly: if I slept with you, wouldn't you hate me, perhaps even want to kill me?"

"Now look back at what happened with Tang Hao. Everyone else came to me for treatment like normal people, but he put the Clear Sky Hammer right over my head and forced me to treat Tang San. It's only natural that I'd resent him, isn't it?"

After Cao Mengde's patient explanation,

The three gradually came to understand how he felt.

That was right.

One couldn't simply take the moral high ground and condemn others at every turn.

Cao Mengde's refusal to treat Tang San had nothing to do with professional ethics.

It was entirely because Tang Hao had been too impulsive and overbearing.

"Lord Mengde, I'll pass your words on to Clear Sky Douluo."

At this point,

Xiao Wu had nothing to say. If she wanted to save Tang San, she could only do as Cao Mengde said.

Cao Mengde smiled faintly.

"All right. Tell Tang Hao I said this."

"Tell him to stop putting on an act and drop that arrogant attitude. If he wants to save Tang San, he can come and ask me with three bows and nine kowtows."

The three all felt that Cao Mengde's approach was somewhat extreme.

But they still needed him to treat them afterward, so even if they resented him, they didn't dare say so outright. They left Rejuvenation Hall one after another.

After the three left,

Cao Mengde continued resting on the sofa.

The scene from not long ago still lingered in his mind.

The three beauties, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, had sat side by side on the sofa.

It had been his first taste of triple the pleasure.

It really had been something else—what a thrill.

Cao Mengde was reclining on the sofa, savoring the memory,

When, the next moment,

A powerful, rough voice reached his ears.

"Cao Mengde..."

The voice was utterly unlike that of an ordinary person.

It had the force of a galloping horse and sounded like a vajra's roar, echoing through the surroundings.

Cao Mengde's eyes flew open.

He found red mist all around him, as though some kind of secret realm had occupied his consultation room.

He had come.

From the violent, murderous presence alone, Cao Mengde knew that he had come.

"May I ask which divine lord has graced my humble establishment?"

"Could it be that gods fall ill too?"

Within the secret realm,

A towering figure gradually appeared, his short purple hair standing on end atop his head.

It was none other than Asura God.

"Cao Mengde, I am the supreme ruler of the Divine Realm. To have created your own godhood at such a young age, you truly are a young hero."

"Would you be willing to inherit my mantle?"

Cao Mengde was not surprised in the least.

At this point, Tang San had yet to obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain and could not attract Asura God's attention.

But Cao Mengde was different.

He had created his own godhood at just eighteen, and his strength surpassed hundreds of Divine Slaughter's Domains.

"I've already become a god. I'm afraid I can't."

Cao Mengde refused on the spot.

As everyone knew,

The Divine Realm was a mess, and its official duties were extremely demanding.

The reason Asura God was so eager to find a successor was that he wanted to wash his hands of it all and leave to live a carefree life.

However,

In Cao Mengde's eyes,

Asura God, like Tang San, was a villain in the protagonist's group. How could Cao Mengde let him live the good life?

Asura God explained,

"Although you have already attained a god position, your aptitude is more than sufficient for you to inherit a second and have both coexist."

"As long as you're willing, I will grant you Divine Slaughter's Domain directly and retrieve the Asura Sword from Slaughter City. You can inherit the Asura God Position without undergoing any divine trials. From then on, you will be the Divine Realm's supreme God of Law Enforcement."

Cao Mengde let out a long breath.

What were the rules of the world? Bullshit rules.

If you were a nobody, you could only advance step by step under the so-called rules.

But when you were outstanding enough,

Even those lofty laws would change because of you.

Divine Slaughter's Domain normally had to be obtained through trials in Slaughter City, yet Asura God was now offering it as a gift. The facts were plain to see.

"Oh, Lord Asura, you really do favor me greatly."

"Unfortunately, I, Cao Mengde, only want to remain in the mortal world and treat the common people. I have no intention of ascending to the Divine Realm or ruling it."

This outcome

Was within Cao Mengde's expectations,

But it was beyond Asura God's.

On his way to the mortal world, he had been utterly certain and confident, without even needing to think about it.

When he offered Cao Mengde the Asura God Position, the latter would surely be overjoyed and accept at once.

Who would have thought

That this man would be unmoved?

His goodwill rejected, Asura God was displeased, and his expression darkened.

"Cao Mengde, anyone seeking to inherit my mantle must first undergo the trials of Slaughter City and obtain Divine Slaughter's Domain, then take the hell-level Asura Nine Trials."

"Now, I am offering you the Asura God Position directly."

Asura God assumed, for the time being,

That Cao Mengde had not heard him clearly, so he repeated himself.

Cao Mengde smiled.

"Lord Asura, did you not hear me clearly?"

"I, Cao Mengde, only want to remain in the mortal world and heal the people. I have no interest in the Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this,

Asura God's expression grew dark to the extreme.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, or even the whole Divine Realm,

He was the first ever to offer a god position for free, yet he couldn't even give it away?

Damn it.

Since Cao Mengde wouldn't give him face,

There was no need for him to be polite either.

Changing tack,

Asura God said solemnly,

"In that case, forget I ever mentioned inheriting my god position."

"Cao Mengde, now that you have become a god, come with me to the Divine Realm at once."

Cao Mengde could tell

That when Asura God had said "at once," it had sounded like an order.

However,

Asura could govern the Divine Realm, but he couldn't govern Cao Mengde.

"Why should I go to the Divine Realm with you?"

At this point,

Asura God no longer discussed the matter with Cao Mengde.

He immediately assumed the bearing of a God King, narrowing his eyes as though looking down on all creation.

"The mortal world has its rules."

"The Divine Realm has its laws."

"Since you have become a god, you must go to the Divine Realm and submit to its rule."

Hahaha...

Hearing this, Cao Mengde burst out laughing on the spot.

"Asura, what gives you the right to talk to me about laws?"

"Who was it just now who disregarded the laws governing divine successors and offered to give me his god position directly?"

"Now look back at yourself. Aren't you ashamed? Embarrassed? Mortified?"

"And you still have the gall to talk to me about laws when you were the one who broke them first."

As the saying went,

When you hit someone, don't hit the face; when you curse someone, expose their faults.

Cao Mengde had not only exposed Asura God's faults to his face, but also slapped him across it with every naked word.

At once,

Asura God flew into a rage out of humiliation.

"How dare you!"

"Cao Mengde, how dare you insult me like this! I'll scatter your soul to the winds right now!"

As his voice fell,

Asura God raised a hand and waved it.

The red mist in the secret realm surged swiftly toward Cao Mengde.

The mist looked harmless, but it was filled with deadly intent.

Several enormous Asura hands could faintly be seen hiding within the blood mist, violent and overbearing as they struck at Cao Mengde.
