Unfathomable Senior

Chapter 400

Zhang Dong looked at his system window with narrowed eyes. The person that he was looking at had quite the blue hair that was similar to the color of the sky. He was enjoying a lap pillow from a stunning beauty that was somewhat unique when he compared her to the other women on this island.

She looked a bit more exotic, her skin tone was more natural than all the pale jade beauties that were on the island and her hair color was a ruby red. She even had a gem in the middle of her forehead that was of the same coloring.

Both she and the Azure Emperor luckily didn’t seem to have Japanese names. By what they were doing it made him think of the four heroes he met in the other world. They were clearly performing the fabled lap pillow ear cleaning combo that he had seen so many times in anime shows when he was still on earth.

Long Qing the Azure Emperor seemed to be quite relaxed as this woman that was called Long Chunhua was tending to his ears. This was not something that he had tried with his own wife as he didn’t want to have Liena looking at the inside of his ears and digging for wax.

From the look at his place, he came to a conclusion, either this Azure Emperor really was another player or the whole Long Clan came to be thanks to a person like him. This option made more sense as he knew that people like him existed already.

With the appearance of Wang Long, it was also clear that the new players were quickly replaced. Probably when Wang Long died he would also cause someone else to come to replace him. How long the other person took to get here was unknown to him but he was more interested in the procedure that got them here.

He didn’t think that he replaced a person that was named Zhang Dong. This wouldn’t make sense as he went through a character builder and also decided on a name. His theory was that this system implanted some vague memories of him into some people.

His backstory was of a young man leaving the clan for over ten years to train up. Besides Zhang Jin and a few other family members, not many people had interacted with him. But with Zhang Jin’s word as the highest elder there, no one else could complain. He wouldn’t feel surprised that if he pressed the old man for specific things in his youth Zhang Jin would not be able to answer them.

“Dear, your guest has arrived.”

The woman was the one to look up to him. Her bewitching ruby eyes were hard to evade, if Zhang Dong was not a married man he would probably be instantly smitten by this woman’s gaze. It seemed that the Emperor had aimed high.

There was a certain lack of other female caretakers here. When he thought of someone like an Emperor an image of a large harem popped into his mind. It didn’t seem that there were any other women here besides this one and the ones outside seemed to only be part of the guards.

“Eh, already? Don’t they live at the end of the empire?”

“Yes dear but our new friend arrived a few days early~”

“Ah is that so…”

The Emperor that had his head turned towards the woman’s crotch finally flopped around to reveal his face. The moment Zhang Dong saw the Emperor he noticed the deep blue eyes that were a stark contrast to the wife’s fiery set of pupils.

‘Is that him? He does somewhat look the part but…’

Zhang Dong looked at the man’s face and could see that he was very handsome. His eyebrows were quite sharp and the jawline was something that could be envied. But on the other hand, he looked kind of wishy-washy and sleepy, like he thought this was somewhat a bother.

While he was standing he also noticed some malice coming to him from behind. It had been a while since he had come face to face with something that outranked him. This was probably the only man in the empire that he should bow his head to but instead, he was standing upright and looking down at him.

The women guards that were standing behind him clearly didn’t like this fact and started moving towards him. They drew their spears and were about to point them at him but before they could utter the words ‘You dare’ the Empress looked at them. One look from here was enough to make these two guards back off, they lowered their heads and soon closed the room doors while removing themselves from it.

Now he was finally alone with these two people. It looked like the woman beside the Emperor had a lot of power. Her presence was undeniably fierce and her cultivation realm was just as high as the Emperor’s was.

While he had the time he continued to look around. From what he could tell there were no protective formations here to speak of. These two were probably perfectly confident in their own skills to defend themselves against any foul play.

The two were wearing somewhat more Japanese-style kimonos. The woman was somewhat more revealing than it was probably originally designed to be. Her legs were revealed and her ample cleavage was bouncing about even though she wasn’t moving too much.

If it wasn’t for Zhang Dong’s tranquil mind technique his eyes would probably be wondering about to inappropriate places. This could already cost him his head as he would be caught looking in a naughty fashion at the emperor’s wife.

Finally, the two parted and the young-looking Emperor stood up. While standing he was about the same height as Zhang Dong. It was a bit uncanny as the two men looked somewhat similar, while the man was down on the ground it went unnoticed but now when they were looking at each other, their similarities could be noticed.

The long hair, the sharp eyes, and the chiseled jaw, if he wanted he could probably pass for a cousin. It seemed that the Azure Emperor was also of the same mind as Zhang Dong. The moment their eyes met he started to examine his whole body.

His blue eyes glowed with powerful light as he tried to use his spiritual sense for a scan. He found this deed somewhat difficult as Zhang Dong was able to successfully deny the invasive treatment. While this could upset the Emperor he thought that he had enough freedom to assert himself here.

“Oh… very surprising indeed… you are also very young…”

The Emperor looked to his wife who was properly sitting to the side and looking at the whole scene. The woman had realized what her husband was doing and was also somewhat surprised.

“Oh my, this young man does look like the one we were looking for but dear, don’t you think you are being rude?”

“Ah yes, excuse me, what was it? Zheng Pong?”

“Zhang Dong dear.”

“Hah, I knew that, I was just testing you for my love!”

The man in question just stood there as the Emperor couldn’t recall his name. The two seemed like some kind of newly wedded couple as they continued to look at each other with loving gazes. This made him wonder if he and Liena ever acted like this in the presence of others.

While this would cause a regular cultivator to be alarmed to him it just made these two be more down to earth. He expected the strongest person in the Empire to be someone with a stick up his behind but instead, he felt more like a goofball.

“Come, my friend, this is not the place for this discussion!”

Zhang Dong wanted to clasp his hands to do a proper greeting but the man stopped him. With a snap of his finger, a different sliding door on the side opened up. Behind him was another sliding door which slid to the side right after and this phenomenon continued for a few seconds.

This was obviously not something simple, he that was versed in spatial formations could tell that this one was of a very high caliber. The Japanese-styled inn that this was supposed to be didn’t seem that large but this tunnel that formed went on for about a hundred meters.

The two didn’t elaborate too much as they got up and left towards the tunnel. Zhang Dong looked around him but didn’t find anyone urging him forward or to ask about what was happening.

The whole thing was already strange, they were treating him like some kind of friend that came over to play some checkers. The Azure Emperor was relaxed and the woman next to him just smiled without saying much either.

‘I sure hope this tunnel doesn’t bring me outside the teleportation range.’

The range was quite huge as he was able to get to his sect all the way from the other empire’s border. But if they traveled somewhere a bit further away than that, he would be stuck there with no way to escape.

Were the two leading him into some kind of dungeon for questioning? Was he in danger? The two didn’t feel that antagonistic and didn’t even care for proper decorum. It was strange that the guards were still outside and no offense was taken when he didn’t bow properly.

Still he took a step forward, his gut was telling him that he didn’t need to be afraid of this man here. The biggest question here was why they were leading him to.

The moment he stepped through the threshold of the first door he felt it. The dao of space was strong here and the area was clearly distorted. Even though this tunnel didn’t seem long, each step that he took could take him hundreds or thousands of kilometers in this direction.

For this reason, he brought up his system map to track his movement. Just as he had suspected as he continued to walk the map terrain started shifting dramatically. Even the system had trouble keeping track of him.

The people that walked in front of him seemed to disappear into the distance. Their bodies became distorted but this didn’t cause him to lose his cool. He knew well how these sorts of passages worked and just continued to walk at his own pace.

After what felt like an eternity he felt that he had gone past the space warping effect of this tunnel. He was really far from his initial starting point but still in the vicinity of the Azure Dragon Empire.

“Welcome my friend, you can’t believe how long we had waited for this very moment, with your arrival this Empire will be victorious in the coming war!”

“The what now?”

He heard the Azure Emperor’s words echo through this cavern and soon the lights went on. The chamber he was in was quite spacious and in the middle was a large holographic projection of the whole empire, it was suspiciously similar to the one that his clan members were using all those years before during the tower defense trials.

Soon it dawned on him what this could be and why the Azure Emperor had led him here. When thinking back to how these game-like worlds operated the answer was clear. It seemed that he had triggered a new event that would plunge him into another big mess.
