Chapter 941 Little Silver Is Angry

Lin Xun’s voice contained unquestionable authority.

In truth, he wasn’t as calm as he appeared on the surface. He never thought that after devouring the moth king, the nine God Devourer Insects would undergo such a transformation. 

Through this lucky coincidence, he cultivated a special God Devourer Insect that had the potential to become a king!

According to the records of the Astral Insect Command Art, the probability of this happening was extremely rare. Even in ancient times, there was only a one-in-a-million chance of it occurring. 

The special kind of God Devourer Insect was also known as the Larval King Insect. Generally speaking, it usually only appeared when a God Devourer Insect evolved to the third stage.

The Larval King Insect was unique and domineering as it devoured all other God Devourer Insects and refined them into a kind of potential power of its own. 

Moreover, it had begun to awaken a sense of independence, like a crown prince. It developed its own dignity and pride and disliked being controlled and used by others.

In ancient times, there had been cases of Larval Insect Kings turning their backs on their masters.

At first, Lin Xun was not worried because the Astral Insect Command Art recorded a special way to control the LarvaL King Insect. 

But he never thought that before he was prepared, a Larval King Insect would be born when they advanced only to the second stage!

This caught Lin Xun a little off guard. He couldn’t help feeling a little anxious because it was incredibly rare to raise a Larval King Insect so if he let it escape, all his efforts would be wasted.

……

Buzz—

The insect became increasingly irritated. Its grain-sized silvery body began to produce waves of cryptic energy. 

Then, a child-like voice rang in Lin Xun’s mind-sea, “Master, I am not ungrateful. I will repay you for raising me in the future, but now that I have awakened the potential to become a king, I should seek the path of the king. This is not a betrayal.”

 

“Nonsense!” Lin Xun snapped, “You are still an ingrate!”

The God Devourer Insect protested in anger, “Master, I would rather die than be insulted. How can you call me an ingrate?” 

Lin Xun immediately realized that the insect was an extremely proud guy. He refused to follow and serve him and planned to leave alone. 

Moreover, the little guy viewed his dignity and reputation as very important and wouldn’t tolerate any insult or humiliation. 

“Little Silver.” Lin Xun suddenly sighed softly, “No matter what, I have raised you with a lot of effort. I am very upset that you want to leave. You should think about how I feel.”

“Little Silver? Master, this name is too...” The God Devouring Insect shuddered as if it couldn’t accept the name.

“Don’t interrupt, listen to what I have to say first.” Lin Xun frowned, and then sighed, “You can leave if you want, but don’t come back again. From now on, I will cut all ties with you, and we shall have no more contact in the future. I will let you have your wish to fulfill your dream of becoming a king.”

“Master, I...” The insect was very conflicted about what to do.  

Lin Xun sighed softly again, “Go, you don’t need to feel guilty or indebted to me.”

The God Devourer Insect was speechless for a while. How could it not feel guilty or indebted to Lin Xun?

“Master, I...” The insect took a deep breath, ready to make a decision.

But Lin Xun interrupted, “It’s still early. You don’t need to make a decision so quickly. You just finished your transformation so what’s the rush in leaving? Why don’t you stay a little longer to think it over first? You can decide on what to do after that.” He spoke in a gentle and sincere voice like an elder advising a junior. 

The insect stared blankly at him for a long moment. It didn’t know what kind of tricks Lin Xun was playing so it was even more conflicted on what to do!

“Master, then...” The insect felt his head all tangled up. Even his newly awakened consciousness became confused.

“Little Silver, stay for now. When you have thought it through properly, I will give you the freedom you want,” Lin Xun urged hopefully.

“Okay!” The insect finally agreed through gritted teeth.

Lin Xun was overjoyed. But before he could speak, the insect requested in a righteous manner, “But I have one condition.”

“What is it?”

“You can’t call me Little Silver anymore!” The insect said each word loud and clear. What kind of name is that? It’s so ugly!

Lin Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then he said dumbly, “Of course...that’s not a problem!”

At the same time, Lin Xun withdrew his spirit sense. Only then did he notice that Miss Le, who was sitting opposite him and filling the glass with wine, was staring at him strangely as if she was looking at an idiot...

Lin Xun’s face reddened. He realized that he had been too busy coaxing the insect to stay that he forgot about Miss Le’s presence.

Miss Le had captured everything in her eyes. 

“Sorry, I have something urgent to deal with, how about we talk about it another day?” Lin Xun said as he got up. He did not attempt to explain himself. 

“Okay.” Miss Le looked very understanding.  

However, just as Lin Xun stepped out of the room, Miss Le’s couldn’t help but let out a stifled laugh behind him…

Lin Xun felt more and more embarrassed. He could only imagine that his facial expression just now must have left a deep impression on her. 

How embarrassing!

It’s all Little Silver’s fault!

Lin Xun was so angry that he almost shattered his teeth. 

……

“Master, why did you imprison me here?” Little Silver was very confused. As soon as it returned, Lin Xun directly imprisoned it in his mind-sea and suppressed it with the Astral Insect Command Art.

Lin Xun smiled and explained patiently, “Don’t you think it’s easier for you to think about some things this way? For example, whether you will stay or not.”

“But...why do I feel like I’ve been imprisoned?” Little Silver asked blankly.

Lin Xun sighed. This silly child is so dim-witted yet it wants to travel the world alone to seek the dao. With this intelligence, he is lucky if he isn’t tricked to death.

“Little Silver, I am doing this for your own good. When you understand my intention, even if you leave, I won’t have to worry about you anymore,” Lin Xun lectured it like he was its elder. 

“Master!” Little Silver snapped, “You promised to not call me that ugly name again! How dare you go back on your word?”

“Then do you want to change your name? It’s easy. When you think it through properly, you can call yourself whatever you want.” Lin Xun smiled kindly. 

Little Silver fell silent, realizing that something was wrong. But it was only after a long moment that it cried out, “Master, you have been lying to me since the start, is that right?”

But no one responded. 

Lin Xun had already decided to teach the little guy a good lesson to curb its arrogance so that it wouldn’t have the urge to go wandering alone in the future. A simple-minded guy like it would be easily tricked by other people!

“Master, you are so despicable, evil, hypocritical, and shameless!” Little Silver finally understood and flew into a rage. As a God-Devourer Insect with the potential to become a king, it wouldn’t be stupid. It just had never experienced the evil of the human heart so its reaction was slower than normal. 

“Just you wait! If I get out, I will make you regret this! Even an apology will be useless then!” Little Silver yelled.

Still, no one responded. 

“I, I, I...I have never seen such a despicable and shameless person in my life!”

As before, no one responded. 

Little Silver was going crazy. It hurt deeply. It trusted its master, but he was so shameless and despicable that he lied, deceived, and imprisoned to keep it by his side!

Little Silver was an extremely proud God Devourer Insect, who viewed dignity and pride extremely seriously, and being deceived this way made him so upset and angry to the point that it almost coughed up blood. 

It never expected that it would meet such an evil master! His unpredictable and outrageous behavior disgusted it. 

“You’re just a child. I’m doing this for your own good...” Lin Xun thought to himself. He decided to leave the little guy for a few days to let it calm down and reflect.

Regardless, Lin Xun felt very satisfied and glad that he managed to retain Little Silver. 

He decided to talk to Miss Le.

……

Miss Le didn’t seem surprised to see Lin Xun return after he left not too long ago. Sitting by the table, she stretched out her pretty hand and filled a wine glass and then asked with a smile, “Did something happen to the God Devourer Insects?”

A unique sweet aroma of wine filled the room.

Although Miss Le looked sickly, her every gesture, movement, frown, and smile exuded elegance. 

Lin Xun exclaimed in amazement, “Miss, your eyes are as illuminating as the brightest torches. Nothing can be kept hidden from you.”

Miss Le raised her glass and clinked with Lin Xun’s, then she took a sip of the amber-colored, crystal-clear wine, before she said with a smile, “Young Master, I just happen to know some information about God Devourer Insects. I know that it is not easy to raise those ancient insects.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Miss Le told Lin Xun frankly, “Young Master, you must be very curious as to why I want to cross the boundary river to go to East Victory World, isn’t that right? I am fleeing and those people I am fleeing from will catch up soon.”

Lin Xun nodded. “I see.”

He had already guessed that, so he was not too surprised. 

“I can only tell you that I come from a Hidden Holy Land in the East Victory World, and the people who are hunting me down come from an ancient kingdom in the East Victory World.”

Miss Le’s beautiful eyes were calm, and her voice was serious as she said to Lin Xun, “In other words, I am on the same boat as you. I have no hostility or malice towards you, so you don’t need to be so cautious of me.”

She continued with a chuckle, “What’s more, given my current weak state, even if I want to harm you, it would be impossible.”

A Hidden Holy Land!

Lin Xun trembled inwardly. She was the first person he had met in Ancient Wasteland Domain who was from a Hidden Holy Land. 

He had heard about Xing Zhenzi, the successor of the Great Zen Temple, which was also known as the Little Western Heaven, but he had never actually met him.

“Miss Le, dare I ask but you seem to be very worried that I will misunderstand you, is that right?” Lin Xun asked with a smile on his lips; his expression was also very calm.

The woman was so intelligent that he couldn’t help but be wary of her.
