Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 361 - 355: Trouble Comes Knocking

"This whole thing is really a misunderstanding. At first, I thought she was bathing inside, so I took a few steps back to make sure no one was there before I did my business..."

"I really couldn’t hold it in any longer, and besides, you can’t blame me for this, right?"

"Who does such a crazy dive and stays underwater for so long? Anyone who didn’t know better would think they drowned!" Lin Yuan’s tone carried a hint of grievance.

Liuyu Heaven’s expression changed, gradually twisting into annoyance before finally saying, "You feel wronged? Guess what? Do you think this explanation will convince the Peacock Great Ming King?"

"Lin Yuan, you’re doomed. If the Peacock Great Ming King finds out about this, you’ll get castrated!"

Lin Yuan: "?????"

When it came to the Peacock Great Ming King, Lin Yuan indeed felt a bit uneasy.

"Ahem!" He coughed twice to ease the awkwardness, then muttered, "She’s just a girl, she probably won’t tell her dad about everything, right?"

Liuyu Heaven couldn’t be bothered with Lin Yuan anymore. In his view, Lin Yuan was just a troublemaker!

Wherever he went, trouble followed.

"Forget it, let’s not worry about it any longer!"

"We’ll deal with soldiers who come with soldiers, water that with earth!"

"I’m a man, why should I be afraid of her!" Lin Yuan said defiantly.

...

...

Lin Yuan entered Peng City and first went to find Yang Dingguo. After being away for so long, he wanted to check on the city’s development.

Lin Yuan and Yang Dingguo, who had a friendship despite their age difference, hadn’t seen each other in a while.

Once they met up, they had endless topics to chat about.

While Lin Yuan was chatting with Yang Dingguo, little did he know that trouble was already knocking at his door.

A mischievous young girl had already arrived in the skies above Peng City.

She was about to dive down into the city but stopped mid-air.

It was then that she realized she knew Lin Yuan’s name but didn’t know what he looked like.

Peng City was one of the nine Giant Cities, now filled with a massive number of survivors.

With so many people, how could she possibly pick out which one was Lin Yuan?

After thinking it over, she decided to call Lin Yuan out.

But then she thought about how embarrassing the previous incident was, and calling him out openly would be so humiliating.

Luckily, the girl was clever enough to realize that the premise of being humiliated was that you had to be human first.

As long as I’m not human, I don’t have to worry about being humiliated.

Understanding this point, she transformed back into her peacock form.

"Screech!"

A sharp cry resounded, and she dived down from the clouds, circling above Peng City.

This piercing screech sent a shiver down the spine of every citizen in Peng City.

Instinctively, everyone looked up towards the sky in the direction of the sound.

They saw a gigantic peacock with a wingspan of several meters circling above Peng City.

Then they heard the peacock speak in human words: "Lin Yuan, you despicable rogue, come out here!"

"Don’t think you can hide silently in the city, I know you’re in there."

Peng City survivors: "?????"

The survivors in Peng City were completely baffled by what they heard.

Some quick-thinking ones started making connections.

The peacock’s voice was indeed female, making her unmistakably a peahen.

She called Lin Yuan a rogue and a scoundrel.

Could it be...

Did Lin Yuan do something to her?

The survivors of Peng City thought, as expected, even the fetishes of experts were unique.

The screeching of the peacock not only alarmed the survivors in Peng City but also caught the attention of Yang Dingguo and Lin Yuan, who were deep in conversation.

Hearing the peacock’s shout, Lin Yuan’s face immediately darkened.

Sure enough, trouble had come knocking.

Yang Dingguo and Lin Yuan went outside, looking up at the peacock circling in the sky.

"Is that the master of the Five-Colored Lake?"

"Why is she here? What did you do to her?" Yang Dingguo asked, casting a curious glance at Lin Yuan.

"It’s all a misunderstanding between us,"

"Alright, let me handle it!" Lin Yuan said helplessly.

The trouble he caused, he’d have to solve himself!

As long as the peacock didn’t intend to harm the ordinary people, he had to quickly resolve the issue.

If not, as tensions increased, innocent people could get dragged into it, which wouldn’t be good.

Lin Yuan shot into the sky, shouting at the peacock, "Let’s settle this outside the city."

To avoid the shockwaves of their fight from hurting the city’s survivors, Lin Yuan led the peacock away.

"You bastard, what do you plan to do about today’s incident?" The peacock stared at Lin Yuan, speaking in human language.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then replied seriously, "I just went to your territory and relieved myself, that’s all."

"Besides, we were quite far apart at the time. I didn’t pee on you, did I?"

"How about this: Peng City is my turf. Why don’t you come to my turf and take a leak too?"

"Then we’ll call it even."?

Peacock: "?????"

The peacock’s face showed a human-like expression of shock.

"What kind of logic is that?"

"Nonsense!"

"Rogue, scoundrel..." The peacock began scolding again.

Although Lin Yuan thought he had come up with a good solution...

Unfortunately, it wasn’t agreeable!

Since she didn’t agree to his proposal, why not let her suggest a solution?

"Fine then!"

"Tell me what you want, and I’ll do it!" Lin Yuan said frankly.

Upon hearing this, the peacock tilted her head, and after a moment, she made her demands.

"Let’s have a duel, and if you lose, you have to admit that you’re defeated by Kong Mengmeng, no matter where you are in the future."

"Then, you have to be my little sidekick for three days!" the peacock articulated.

Lin Yuan: "?????"

Her name is Kong Mengmeng?

Lin Yuan thought, the name given by the Peacock Great Ming King to his daughter was something else!

After thinking it over, Lin Yuan felt this was a good solution!

The duel could be moderate; winning would be enough.

As long as Lin Yuan held back and didn’t hurt Kong Mengmeng, even if the Peacock Great Ming King found out, he’d only have to blame his daughter for being headstrong.

After all, it was Kong Mengmeng who insisted on fighting Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan didn’t harm her, so he was actually doing the Peacock Great Ming King a favor.

"Alright!" Lin Yuan agreed firmly, continuing, "But, you have to promise me one thing."

"No matter who wins or loses, you must never make things difficult for the survivors of Peng City."

"Hmph!" Kong Mengmeng snorted lightly and said, "I never intended to harm them. Us grand ladies follow a proper cultivation path, no need to feed on humans to enhance our cultivation."

Members of the World Honored One Sect mostly follow unconventional practices.

However, there are exceptions.

The Peacock Great Ming King is one such exception.
