Chapter 196 - 196 What Are Variables?

196 What Are Variables?

At that moment, Feng Xia’s hair stood on end and he felt his scalp tingle.

His first thought was that Tianwu would not be able to endure being humiliated by such an audacious Wang Xiaoman, and that it would blow up on the spot and teach Wang Xiaoman an unforgettable lesson.

After all, Tianwu was still a Primal Core demon beast!

In comparison, Wang Xiaoman’s cultivation was much weaker.

If Tianwu was really in a murderous mood, this mature and steady white tiger might be smashed into a pulp in an instant…

Feng Xia tried to imagine that scene. It would be a beautiful sight and too difficult for one to look at it directly.

However, to his surprise, Tianwu was only stunned for a moment when it caught sight of the foot coming close to one of its faces. Then, it suddenly crouched on the ground and its body gradually shrank. In the blink of an eye, it became eight identical kids!

“Hurhurhur…”

The eight kids made faces at Wang Xiaoman and scattered in all directions. “If we don’t want to lick it, what can you do to us?”

Everyone stared blankly at this scene.

Through what Long Da said, they already knew how precious Tianwu was. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the rarest thing in this world.

However, they still did not expect…

After the eight heads of Tianwu were split apart, they could actually turn into eight identical little kids. Could this be considered a demon beast transformation?

“Interesting. Truly interesting. It has a lot of research value,” Long Da said suddenly. “If I study it properly, it might be able to solve my mother’s problem.”

—Perhaps it could also solve Zhu Youniang’s problem.

Feng Xia thought of it almost at the same time.

However, what happened next went beyond his expectations again.

The actions of the eight kids seemed to have triggered some reflexes in Wang Xiaoman. His back suddenly straightened and there was a faint light in his eyes. His body crouched down slightly and he let out a low whimper as his gaze locked onto one of the kids.

“Can this be…”

Feng Xia suddenly thought of something.

In the next moment, Wang Xiaoman’s arched body suddenly leaped up, creating a beautiful parabola in the air. His feet streaked across a fan-shaped area, and with a bang, he pressed one of the kids to the ground.

“Caught you!”

Wang Xiaoman sounded quite happy. It used one of his claws to hold the kid down firmly. Ignoring the kid’s struggles, it waved his other claw in the air, trying to grab onto the next nearest kid.

Feng Xia suddenly felt that this scene seemed rather familiar.

—It looked like a pet cat grabbing a ball of yarn!

“What the hell? This big tiger makes me feel like I’m watching a domestic cat?” Feng Xia was speechless.

At the same time, he became even more curious.

Who exactly was this Wang Xiaoman?

Was it really just an ordinary tiger demon beast?

And the reason why this guy came to look for him was purely to get to know girls from the Flood Dragon Clan?

“I’ve better be more careful. There’s nothing wrong with being too careful.”

Thinking of this, Feng Xia raised his guard slightly.

However, thanks to Wang Xiaoman, Feng Xia soon made a new discovery about Tianwu’s body. Tianwu was the strongest when the eight kids were combined. It was definitely a genuine Primal Core Realm demon beast then, but once it split itself back into eight kids, its strength would drop drastically. At most, the kids were only equivalent to the third or fourth level of the Dao Platform Realm.

This was also the reason why the eight identical kids were driven into a tizzy by Wang Xiaoman.

“Hehe, don’t run! Let me take a look! It’s not like you’ll lose a piece of flesh!” Wang Xiaoman’s voice came from afar.

“Sect Master Feng, what do you think?”

At some point, Mo Lianque and the others had come to Feng Xia’s side. There was a hint of worry in their eyes. “There seems to be too many variables during the opening of the Demon Imperial Tombs this time round…”

The death of a demon king, the arrival of the Holy Son, and all kinds of strange things seemed to have gathered together and erupted in this era!

Even though the royal family had planned this for many years and Mo Lianque was confident that he would succeed, the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom started to feel an inexplicable fear after coming to the Demon Capital.

Back then, the founding Great Emperor Xuanwu, as well as his friends and sages, were far stronger than the current Xuanwu Kingdom. However, they were still unable to overturn the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. Instead, they left behind countless mysteries and an unfinished plan to change the world.

If he failed again…

Perhaps the entire human race would suffer a crushing defeat!

“There are variables, but it might not be a bad thing.”

Feng Xia thought for a moment and said with a smile, “Or rather, all kinds of variables have always existed. The only difference is that if you’re not strong enough, you often feel that you’ve seen all the variables and everything is under your control.”

Mo Lianque was stunned.

From ancient times, different people had offered different interpretations of the concept of “variables”. However, what Feng Xia said was the first time he had heard of such a refreshing concept!

“The variables have always existed?” Mo Lianque asked seriously.

“For example. Your Majesty, put your face closer.”

Feng Xia thought for a moment and reached out a hand to Mo Lianque.

The latter was slightly stunned. Although he found it a little strange, he still leaned his face over. “Sect Master Feng, what are you planning to do?”

“Look, Your Majesty, the reason why you dare to put your face close to me is because you’re certain that we’re still working together. Therefore, I won’t slap your face.”

Feng Xia said calmly.

Mo Lianque nodded instinctively. “Indeed.”

Smack!

At this moment, a huge palm reached out and slapped Mo Lianque’s face. The emperor did not expect this at all. Caught off guard, he almost fell backward. Half of his face swelled up very quickly.

“You?!”

Mo Lianque turned his head and saw Lei Shao holding up his hand and staring at him with a sneer. “Your Majesty, you didn’t expect this, did you?”

Mo Lianque: “…”

At this moment, Feng Xia continued to say slowly, “Your Majesty, Lei Shao has actually been standing there the entire time. It’s just that your attention was limited and you were focused on talking to me, so you never noticed him.”

“This …”

Mo Lianque’s face twitched, but his expression became slightly better. “Sect Master Feng is right. Perhaps I’m overthinking.”

“We’ve already come this far, so why should Your Majesty be afraid?” Feng Xia shook his head and smiled. “Success is a step, and failure is also a step. We’ve already taken this step. Let’s leave what we have done to be judged by the future generations.”

Mo Lianque took a deep breath and finally nodded. “Thank you for unraveling my doubts, Sect Master Feng.”

Slap!

As soon as he finished speaking, his mind went blank again.

Lei Shao’s voice sounded in his ears again.

“You didn’t expect this, did you, Your Majesty?!”
