Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 119 - Walking The Edge Of A Blade

Yang Fuyou then looked down and saw that Hu Guan was still kneeling on the floor. Since the one he offended was Long Di, it was Long Di who had to grant him pardon. “Aren’t you going to tell him to get u—”

“Now,” Long Di didn’t give Yang Fuyou a chance to finish. “Tell me everything you know about my parents.”

****

“Do you want us to leave?” Yaomu Shou asked after seeing that they were going to be talking about some very personal information.

“Yeah, everyone can leave for a moment except you, Shen Ling, Feng Yu, Jia Yan, Tie Lang and Xiannu Liang.”

Everyone’s name was called except…

At this moment, all eyes sneakily shifted towards Zi Yu, who was glaring at Long Di like she wished to eat him alive.

Long Di stared at her innocently. “As a husband, I don’t think you’d want to hear about your mother-in-law.”

“Screw you! Who’s married to you!?” Stomping her feet, she stormed out of the room and was soon out of sight.

Unfortunately, she didn’t go too far. Long Di was still able to sense her in the nearby vicinity with his spiritual sense.

Of course, she didn’t dare leave. Even if one didn’t take Long Di into consideration, she remembered that Yaomu Shou made an off-hand comment about wanting some more details about a particular issue from her. Even if she was 100 times more courageous, she wouldn’t think about running away after that.

“Now, you can continue.” Long Di gestured for Yang Fuyou to continue.

“S-Sure…” he responded as he looked at the kneeling Hu Guan. Yang Fuyou couldn’t help but think that this was an odd sight.

However, he quickly put this to the back of his mind. “Right, so a little over two months ago, after the event that shook the entire continent, now that I think about it, we seem to be having a lot of those,” he commented before continuing.

“The dragons made a move as a few of them mobilised towards a small insignificant city in some backwater place. It was practically a corner of the Tu De Region… oh wait, I-I’m sorry!” Yang Fuyou just realised that he was verbally defecating on Long Di’s birthplace.

“Oh, don’t mind me, please continue,” Long Di advised him.

Yang Fuyou looked down in shame and embarrassment when he saw this, feeling Long Di’s contempt for him.

The thing was, though, that Long Di didn’t care about the description pointed towards his former home. Since his parents were no longer there, that place lost its importance to him. It was Yang Fuyou’s mistake of utilising the logic used to gauge a normal person, that he didn’t see that Long Di didn’t feel any way towards him.

“Oi,” Long Di called out to Yang Fuyou when he saw the latter still looking down.

Yang Fuyou then looked up at him, to which Long Di stared at him expressionlessly. Yet, the young auction house manager could tell that Long Di’s patience was running out. He broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.

“Ahem.”

After clearing his throat, Yang Fuyou went on. “The dragons took your family away and furthermore provided no reason for their decision.”

Long Di descended into thought when he heard this. His worry for them was at an all-time high. Why would the Dragons come for his family?

Was this in any way related to him?

This didn't make any sense. No, he needed more information.

“Why would you think I have the dragon’s backing with this information?” Long Di asked. “Why not think of the dragon’s stunt as an act of aggression towards me?”

“We—”

Dum!

A sea of killing intent suddenly manifested out of nowhere.

Everyone felt it as dread overcame them. It was like they were all on thin ice and any further action could end their lives!

It was similar to a dark hand clutching their throats. The feeling was suffocating to an unbearable degree!

Sweat covered Yang Fuyou and everyone else’s foreheads. Fear dotted their features, and even breathing became a chore!

Everyone here wanted to ask what was happening, but they didn’t have the courage to do so. The feeling of death was not just creeping towards them, it was already upon them and they felt like the wrong words would bring swift destruction to not just them, but this entire city.

Even Yaomu Shou was affected by this and a spiritual transmission sent to her told her not to comment on this and be prepared to be taken away at any time.

It was then that she learned how dangerous this situation was.

The only person who didn’t show any outward reaction was Long Di, but he could feel it the most out of everyone here.

Yang Fuyou, as terrified as he was, had a very vague thought about what was happening right now. Not wanting to risk anything, he took extreme care to use words that would clear up Long Di’s confusion whilst making sure not to offend any existence that apparently had them in its crosshairs.

“Long Di,” Yang Fuyou gulped. “The dragons are an immensely proud race. There is nothing that can enter their eyes. Forgive me for being blunt, but the dragons have no need to be aggressive towards you because you are not worthy of it.”

Whoosh!

The feeling of dread receded like the tide, causing everyone to let out a breath of relief. That feeling just then was terrifying beyond belief, and it made the current feeling nigh euphoric.

When Yang Fuyou sensed the current situation, he instantly knew what was happening but chose not to comment on it.

Long Di felt it and immediately became curious. “What was tha—”

“Ah, Long Di! H-How about we continue the conversation from before!?” Yang Fuyou asked in a panic. He truly felt that Long Di was going to get him killed if this continued!

Everyone could see that he had an idea about what was happening, but the fear on his face let them know that this was not something to linger on. If Yang Fuyou, a disciple of the Qian Dao Sect, was fearful of whatever it was that just happened, then what about them?

Taking their silence as consent, Yang Fuyou continued from before. “You wanted to know why I think they are your backing as opposed to being your enem… I mean, as opposed to being… not your backing, right?”

Long Di nodded.

Yang Fuyou made sure to speak in such a way that he didn’t put Long Di and the dragons on the same level, whilst not being inherently disrespectful to Long Di.

This was because if his intuition was correct about the current state of affairs, this was the only way he could live!

Truly, he didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. He just wanted to make a big move by making an investment, yet he was practically walking on the edge of a blade right now!
