Chapter 1112

Simple and Honest A-Dai

“I’m Tian Ran. Were you the one calling me?”

“Yes. I’m A-Dai. Master said I’m dense and slow, so he named me A-Dai. You shouldn’t be here because it’s dangerous.”

Tian Ran sat down on a rock on a summit. “Where are we? Why are you here?”

A-Dai jabbed his two index fingers together repetitively and looked down. “This is Ancient Battleground. A-Dai doesn’t really know too much. A-Dai made a mistake, so Master told A-Dai to stay here and reflect. He told A-Dai that A-Dai could leave when he is fetched.” Tone switching to enthusiasm, A-Dai asked, “Are you the person Master referred to? Master sent you here for A-Dai? Can A-Dai leave now?”

Tian Ran and Qiao Xue blinked in bewilderment.

“A-Dai, how long have you been here?”

A-Dai started counting off his fingers. “One year, two years, three years, four years, five years, six y-”

“A-Dai, don’t worry about counting for now. Why did Dad tell you to stay here and reflect?”

A-Dai returned to jabbing his index fingers. “A-Dai was a bad boy. A-Dai destroyed the world in a fit of rage. They started it, however. They try to banish A-Dai, so A-Dai squashed them. Master said A-Dai was in the wrong, so A-Dai has to reflect here.”

“Wh-what was the name of the world you destroyed?”

“Mm... A-Dai can’t remember. A-Dai yanked out a black and white herb and then the world was ruined. A-Dai didn’t mean to destroy the world. A-Dai was just too angry.”

“Black and white herb? I think I heard Mu Yu mention something like that. A-Dai, did you destroy First Heaven?”

“A-Dai doesn’t know. A-Dai didn’t mean to destroy the world. A-Dai was provoked into ripping the herb out. A-Dai doesn’t like the herb. A-Dai ran as soon as he ripped it out. A-Dai just kept running and running like a naughty boy.” A-Dai smiled apologetically, scratching his head. “Master told A-Dai to guard something here. You want it? Can you get me out of here if I give it to you? A-Dai is bored in these barren lands. The beasts here are no match for A-Dai. A-Dai has counted countless stars already. A-Dai wanted to pluck them but couldn’t.”

A-Dai stopped himself when he went to speak, sniffing the two girls instead. He then faced north and sniffed the air. Eyes sparkling, he enthused, “A-Dai can smell Swordsword! Swordsword is also here! A-Dai wants to play with Swordsword! Do you want to catch up with Swordsword with A-Dai?”

The two girls turned to each other, expressing with their eyes, “Who is Swordsword, some strong primordial beast?” The two girls worried for their own safety owing to the innate hazards all around.

“Let’s go see Swordsword.” A-Dai sprang to his feet energetically. A-Dai enlarged himself into his titan form again and gestured for the two girls to climb onto his shoulder for a ride.

“You sure? I’m starting to distrust your nose given your track record,” Mu Yu rebuked, carefully circling around a beast’s territory.

Xiaoshuai sniffed the air again. “I’m sure. I know I’ve smelt it somewhere before. It’s in that direction.”

“And what smell is that?” Mu Yu surveyed the topography from his sword but only found ruin after ruin.

“Silly goose smell.”
