The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 339: The Devious Donkey!

Chapter 339: The Devious Donkey!

"Hey, despicable donkey, how do you know about these ruins?" Ling Feng asked, curious.

"Ha! I, the divine beast, have knowledge spanning five thousand years in the past and future. I am all-knowing and all-seeing!" The donkey boasted, shaking its head and acting like a god.

"Ugh!" Qiao Qiao spat in disgust, glaring at the donkey with disdain.

Ling Feng smiled and shook his head. Getting this donkey to tell the truth was harder than climbing to the heavens.

But considering that this donkey was once the divine beast of the White Holy Emperor , who was the spiritual manifestation and founder of the Holy Tianbai Dynasty, which eventually split into the current Tianbai Empire, it wasn't surprising that it knew things ordinary people didn't.

"I was originally searching for treasured items around here and was about to find them when you summoned me, so once we find the treasures, I get ninety percent, and you can split the remaining ten percent among yourselves," the donkey declared.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. This despicable donkey was not only greedy but also shameless. How did he end up with such a spirit animal?

Compared to Zifeng, despite being arrogant, it was at least cute.

"Master, are you praising me?" Suddenly, Zifeng's voice echoed in Ling Feng's mind. In the next moment, a flash of purple light appeared, and the small stone figure jumped onto Ling Feng's shoulder.

This restless little creature couldn't help but come out for some fresh air.

"So it's you, little guy!"

The donkey had seen Zifeng before. Despite its boastful claims of knowing everything, it couldn't figure out Zifeng's nature.

Hence, the donkey was somewhat wary of Zifeng.

"Hehe, how could you come to such an interesting place without letting me out?" Zifeng said with a cheeky grin. "I smell something incredibly enticing with pure five-element attributes. Oh wow, it's making my mouth water!"

As an elemental life form, Zifeng naturally craved pure attribute substances.

The item he smelled was likely a spiritual object with five-element attributes. If Zifeng could obtain more of these spiritual objects, he could continue infusing his spirit.

Ling Feng had realized that each move of his Heaven-Slaying Sword Art seemed to represent a different attribute. To continue mastering this art, he also needed to infuse his true qi with different attributes.

The appearance of Zifeng excited both Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao. Compared to the donkey, Zifeng was incredibly cute!

With his small head, eyes, and nose, every action Zifeng made exuded an adorable charm. Someone like Qiao Qiao, whose heart melted at cute things, couldn't take her eyes off him.

"Wow, Mr. Ling, what kind of spirit animal is that on your shoulder? It's so cute!" Qiao Qiao's eyes sparkled with delight as she reached out to play with Zifeng.

"This is another of my spirit pets, Zifeng," Ling Feng said, pulling Zifeng off his shoulder and handing him to Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao. "Zifeng, say hello to Miss Yue and Miss Qiao."

"Hmph!" Zifeng said with a proud expression. "Master, do you think it's respectful to hand me over to girls to play with all the time? Show me some respect!"

Ling Feng was exasperated. It wasn't like he did it often—just once with Su Hongxiu. Plus, this little guy loved playing but always pretended to be aloof.

"So, it's called Zifeng," Qiao Qiao said, patting Zifeng's small head. Zifeng lifted his tiny hand to push her away, which only made him look even cuter and endearing to Qiao Qiao.

"Judging by its aura, it seems to be an Earth-Fire Flame Demon," Yue Yunlan noted softly, her knowledge evident. "But most Earth-Fire Flame Demons are dull, large, and surrounded by blazing flames. Your Zifeng is quite rare with its lively nature."

Yue Yunlan pondered for a moment before saying, "Zifeng is probably a mutated Earth-Fire Flame Demon, right?"

"Probably." Ling Feng smiled faintly, and then changed the subject, saying, "Let's continue searching for the treasured item."

If he told Yue Yunlan that Zifeng was actually a bug pulled out from her father's body, he wondered how she would react.

"Hmph!" Seeing that its limelight had obviously been stolen by the small stone figure Zifeng, the despicable donkey was displeased and couldn't help but mutter, "A bunch of long-haired, short-sighted women. Any random donkey hair from this divine beast is a hundred times more impressive than that little thing! They just don't know how to appreciate me!"

Ling Feng chuckled to himself. Anyone who thought that this despicable donkey had even a bit of charm probably had something wrong with their head.

...

The group—well, to be precise, three people and two beasts—walked through the ruins for about half an hour before finally arriving in front of a large hall.

"This is the place."

The despicable donkey sat down directly on the steps in front of the hall, crossing its legs arrogantly. "You all can go in. As a great and noble divine beast, I will let you seek the opportunities first!"

"Tsk!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, not believing for a second that the despicable donkey was being so kind. It was probably because this creature couldn't enter itself, which was why it had brought them along to search for the treasured item.

Why else would it offer to share the opportunity?

Even if it was only a tenth of it, Ling Feng could vouch with his honor that the despicable donkey definitely wasn't that kind-hearted!

"Let's go in!"

Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan exchanged a glance. Ling Feng then placed his hands on the hall doors and pushed with all his might. To his surprise, despite his immense strength, which had reached the peak of the Mountain Shaking Transformation in his Eight Desolations Body Refinement Art, the doors didn't budge at all!

Ling Feng was shocked. His raw power was almost comparable to that of an ancient giant elephant, yet he couldn't open these doors?

"Tch!" The despicable donkey looked at him with a hint of disdain. "If brute force could open them, would this divine beast need to find you all?"

Before it finished speaking, the despicable donkey quickly covered its mouth with its hooves, as if it had accidentally let something slip.

Indeed, this despicable donkey couldn't have any good intentions unless the sun rose from the west!
