Chapter 1065: Chapter 1013: Martial God, Double-Pupil Overlord! The Pride of Various Families! The Panic of the Gods Beyond the Realm!_1
Zhu Wushi looked around at everyone and couldn't help but curse:
"Can you few old geezers get a little more spirited? Can't beat Elder Luo, so you're thinking of using your grandsons to regain some face?"
Cao Xiong and the others kept silent because that was indeed what they were all thinking, and they had already begun to howl with grief and indignation in their hearts.
Do you know how we've got by all these years?
Each one of them was a dragon amongst men, a first-rank top prodigy, and now they were even peak experts.
But just because of the emergence of Luo Tiance, they had always been kept down.
Because no matter how well they did, they would always only be second best.
But this time was different, they saw an opportunity, their own generation all had top-tier monsters rising, and they didn't even need the Pillar of Awakening's help to awaken the Ancient Spirits on their own, which was a terrifyingly talented gift that filled them with utmost confidence.
Liu Shengji whispered in his heart, "After so many years of being so oppressed I couldn't breathe, this time my grandson's generation will surely rise and crush Elder Luo's grandson, to win back some face for his grandfather."
Zhu Wushi saw that no one was speaking, then he snickered and said.
"Don't get me wrong, everyone, I'm thinking the same as you all."
He turned his head to look towards Luo Tiance:
"Elder Luo, sorry about this!"
"You've been suppressing us for so many years, it's time for our grandsons' generation to suppress your grandson a bit."
"Oh?"
Luo Tiance looked at them expressionlessly.
This expression gave the long-oppressed rulers of the Eight Great Provinces of Great Xia a secret thrill, finally seeing a chance to break free from the shadow of this monster.
You're a monster, but surely your grandson can't be as monstrous as you.
Thinking of the abilities their grandsons now possessed made Cao Xiong and the others thrilled, inheriting the power of the strongest ancestors, and probably even capable of rivaling Foreign Gods' Children was not out of the question for them, they had that kind of confidence.
Everyone thought Luo Tiance was at a disadvantage, yet he remained speechlessly smug.
Little did they know, Luo Tiance was already forcibly controlling his expression, otherwise, he might have laughed out loud.
Who gave you the confidence?
After witnessing Luo Yu's display of Spiritual Power in Transformative Form, summoning Shennong Ancient Spirit, and a series of other operations, Luo Tiance had been thoroughly convinced, internally praising that his grandson possessed the unmatched talent of all ages and could hardly care less about these old geezers' descendants.
Your grandsons are great, but could they be more frightening than my grandson?
Luo Tiance was already looking forward to the scene when this group of scheming old men found out the truth, wondering if it might blow their minds.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
This made Luo Tiance suddenly alert.
No, this won't do!
To act the part fully, for the safety of his grandson, he couldn't reveal anything just yet.
He almost laughed out loud.
Cao Xiong and the others had only dared to get a taste of victory just now, but now they were silent, because Luo Tiance was struggling so hard to control his expression that to others he looked as if his face was changing unpredictably, as if he might explode at any moment, naturally generating a sense of resignation in their hearts.
"Rest assured, Elder Luo, it's not embarrassing for your grandson to lose to our younger generation. After all, we've been losing to you for years and haven't made much of a fuss, have we?" Cao Xiong said with a smile.
"As long as I live, all of you are but servants to me," Luo Tiance snorted coldly.
Cao Xiong's smile immediately froze on his face.
He said nothing aloud but secretly steeled himself, filled with expectations.
My big grandson, you've got to make your grandpa proud, knock Elder Luo's grandson down hard and see how he dares to show off in front of me in the future.
The meeting ended quickly.
In the Magic Capital Province, at the Cao Family Manor.
Having just wrapped up a video conference, Patriarch Cao Xiong of the Cao Family swiftly exited his study room. Greeted by a group of maids and butlers, he walked across the long corridor to another room.
Just as he was approaching the door, he heard the sound of women's laughter inside... and not just from one.
Cao Xiong's temples pulsed with a visible vein.
He coughed loudly outside the door.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The laughter of the women inside abruptly stopped; after a few seconds of silence, the door opened, and a disheveled, amorous-looking young man opened the door, his chest marked with red lipstick prints, his hair a mess, but his eyes were bright, like flames, and his steps were steady and sure.
"Grandpa, what are you doing coming here so early in the morning?" The young man seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
Cao Xiong's gaze swept past the young man, seeing that there were at least four women tucked away inside the room, all of them with their hair up in mature styles, full-figured, and dressed like young wives.
Their bodies were nothing like those of naive young girls, the commonality being that they all looked to be of a certain age.
His mouth twitched.
"It's almost dark, and you're telling me it's still morning?"
"Come on out here and let's talk, lad."
The young man unwillingly stepped out, calling back into the room:
"Ladies, the old man's calling me, wait for my return."
An old man and a young man sat down at the stone table in front of the door.
Just as Cao Xiong was about to give the young man a talking-to.
The young man cut him off, saying, "Grandpa, don't lecture me with high-sounding talk. Actually, I don't want to be like this either, but I'm too influenced by the Ancient Spirit, I feel uncomfortable if I don't spend time with the aunties every day."
Cao Xiong clenched his teeth and said, "Are you sure it's the ancestor Caocao influencing you, and not just your own lascivious nature?"
The young man rolled his eyes.
"Please, it's not about being lecherous for beautiful women, but for nice housewives!"
"I'm also deeply troubled by it."
Having said that, the young man heaved a long sigh, adopting the appearance of someone on the verge of tears.
"I think you're enjoying it," Cao Xiong glared at him, "Brat, don't indulge in distractions that cause neglect of your duties."
"How could I!"
