Chapter 439: What is your name?

Chapter 439: What is your name?

When Wang Ling entered, several young people were already inside, all of them moving slowly as they tried to head deeper into to the cave. They were trying to protect themselves from the scorching heatwaves of the crystals and hidden mechanisms filling the cave that's perfectly crafted to utilize the cave's confine space and increase the temperature.

They were all apprehensive in their movements, but three people just waltzed into the cave without so much as a minor precaution.

The youths did not know of their identity. They were not famous monstrous geniuses, but, seeing them waltz in like so in such an environment made them believe otherwise.

Of course, the answer was obvious, it was Wang Ling and these two newly found stalkers. The three looked at the crystals, admired its designs and Wang Ling tried looking past the illusory formations only to fail miserably, [Without the Devil's Eyes I can't see past these illusions. What a waste.] he mulled over his lost gift with a sigh.

Well, all the while he's acting so disappointed, Wang Ling took notice of the other two was oozing with azure energy. The qi wrapped around them was that of the water element.

"Ooooh, so that's how you managed to bypass the various traps of the Tomb? But isn't its heat beyond that of Mortal Blaze?" Wang Ling commented, "How do you do it?" 

This question caused the surrounding youths to lean closer to the three. They too wished to know so they could utilize it for themselves.

"We choose not to spread the information." The two answered, and while Wang Ling just shrugged his shoulders, the other youths were cursing them deep down for giving them hope. Seeing this made Wang Ling quite entertained. Suffering was indeed good entertainment.

As the struggling youths' mouths turned agape, they looked at these three, all thinking the same thing, 'Who the fuck are these assholes?' They thought to themselves as the three's nonchalance radiated out of them. The three did not mind the others, but that only made the others lower their heads out of shame even more.

Wang Ling actually tried prying deeper into the matter. He sent out his Qi and even got a reaction, something strange happened.

[My Holy Qi domains over elemental powers and law in the Universe but their qi, is resisting my prying.] Wang Ling grew interested, he wanted to experiment more on the matter, but Wang Ling felt their eyes staring at him with judging eyes.

"What you are doing is extremely rude, please refrain from doing such an act. Do you wish for us to pry into your own secrets?" They asked, openly displeased about Wang Ling's incessant prying.

"A pot calling the kettle black, I see. But I know that I was wrong so forgive me for what I have done. Also, don't lie, you both don't know how I deal with the heatwave."

"yes, we do not know so would you please tell us?"

"No and don't go prying on me, okay?" Wang Ling teased the two and as he reached the end of the cave what he saw was the Wang Fu with quite an ugly expression.

When Wang Fu saw Wang Ling's presence, she turned her attention to the golden fiery globe embedded at the end of the cave walls. When Ji saw Wang Ling, he was already prepared to let him take the treasure, but seeing how he's so relaxed inside the cave, Wang Fu somehow felt reassured about his loss.

"I see, so it was senior who was causing the commotion, I should have known." Wang Fu sighed turned around and trudged on as he decided to leave. 

"Where are you going?" Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming asked Wang Ling who decided to turn his back on the treasure. 

Wang Ling gave the twins a quick look and then at Wang Fu, "Take the treasure, Wang Fu, I made a deal with Wang Go that I won't touch any treasure he wishes to take, so I'll extend the offer to you. The treasure was a disappointment anyway."

Waving his hand to Wang Fu whose face darkened with the uttered words. Wang Ling left the cave empty-handed.

The twins looked at Wang Ling, "Were your words directed to the treasure or the child?"

"The child." Wang Ling answered truthfully, "I thought he was going to be a good find in this Universe, but in the end, he's just a weak kid."

"Do you hate the kid?"

"No, just disappointed is all."

Wang Ling left the cave without anything to show for it, he had wasted his time with someone he didn't want to meet. Wang Fu, in his eyes, had a lot of potentials to show, his heart was weak, but if he could just rise up and straighten his will, then a true prodigy would be born from the ashes of his weak former self.

Like it had always been, Wang Ling collected more resources, and while following Angel's direction he found a suitable place for cultivation. In an Island-like Room where Magma flowed like a river, Wang Ling sat at a stone platform floating in the middle of a Magma Lake. Wang Ling was ready to start cultivating, disregarding anyone that may arrive to disturb him.

He had Angel protecting him so he didn't fear anything might come for him, but someone was barring him from starting his cultivation.

"Why are the two of you still here?"

"Why, is there a problem with us being here?" asked the twins with utter nonchalance.

"Yes, I cannot concentrate with the two of you staring at me like I am some display to observe."

"Okay, we will take our leave if you answer a simple question for us." Both spoke.

"If it will make the two of you disappear, then go ahead and ask me." Wang Ling gladly accepted their offer.

"What is your name?" They both asked a simple question.

Wang Ling smiled, and asked them, "Why are the two of you still stalking me while you have to protect someone from harm? Why not go find that childhood friend of yours and protect he" he didn't want to answer it for obvious reasons.

If he lies about his name as Wang Wudi, he will have to face something troublesome, and if he tells his real name, he would most likely face an even more problematic thing.

"Do not change the subject. What is your name?" Yuan Qing started emitting a hostile aura.

"Depending on your answer, we would have to take action against you." Yuan Ming was not short to follow.

Wang Ling sighed, ever so calmly, he began opening his mouth to speak, "Wang Wudi."

"You lied." Both of them said and their hostility rose tremendously.

SWISH!

Quickly, Wang Ling moved his hands and attempted to knock the twins down with swift movements. His movement was without flaw, but it couldn't reach his enemies.

Both his hands were stopped by fingers, without so much as an effort from the two.

"How cute." They spoke.

"Angel." Wang Ling smiled and the magma moved. Tendrils sprouted and raced to reach the two girls, "I'm sorry for this." He apologized in advance as he got ready to retreat.

But, two vice-like hands grabbed hold of Wang Ling's hands and then the two spokes, "You don't need to be sorry." Their auras changed once more, and then; the water sprouted from all around them!

A tsunami devoured the tide of magma, and when all settled, the magma lake turned to stone.

Yuan Qing and Yuan Ming looked in Wang Ling's eyes.

"How"

"Cute"
