Emperor’s Domination Chapter 3992: A Beggar

Chapter 3992: A Beggar

The person was an old man whose robe was tattered from overuse. There were plenty of patches that were terribly sewn on.

However, the lack of craftsmanship was understandable after taking a good look at the old man. He appeared to be blind.

His eyelids were tightly shut as if they were sewn together. They looked like two meatballs sticking out of the sockets. There was one tiny gap in the middle. Who knows if he could actually see out of them? Even if he could, his vision would be awfully limited.

Being skinny caused his cheekbones to be overly prominent, resulting in a scary look. The rest of his frames were as thin as bamboo sticks. It seemed that one gust of wind could send him flying.

People shuddered for him because it must be cold wearing the thin and shoddy robe during the night.

He held a walking stick made out of bamboo with one hand. The bottom end was bald, most likely from accompanying the old man for so long.

His other hand was a broken bowl with several holes. He obviously picked it up somewhere and clearly treasured it since it was kept extremely clean.

There were five coins or so in the bowl. They issued clanks as he walked. Everyone could tell at first glance that he was a beggar.

This was a common sight in any major city. After all, life was tough for many. However, this was the wilderness.

The appearance of an old man like him here seemed out of place. Both Lu Qi and the old man took one step backward and became cautious.

The issue was that he appeared next to them with extreme speed. They didnt notice his arrival until he was already standing by the carriage.

Both of them were top masters, especially Lu Qi. She didnt dare to claim supremacy but she was confident that very few cultivators in Sword Continent could beat her. Moreover, she knew all of the big shots too.

She didnt recognize this old man. There wasnt a famous cultivator acting like a beggar either in this region.

First was a mysterious beauty in a ghost city. Now, another mysterious beggar? This was too much to be a coincidence. Since when did Sword Continent have so many hidden masters?

Grandpa, is there something you want? She took a deep breath and bowed slightly.

The old man was clearly powerful so prudence was the best course.

Sirs, I havent eaten for three days and three nights. Please give me something good. He raised his bowl and caused the coins to collide.

For some reason, the duo felt that this old man wasnt actually begging but rather, he was showing off the coins in his bowl. This was a rather strange and outrageous feeling.

However, Lu Qi wasnt laughing. She glanced at the old carriage driver, unaware of this newcomers intention.

What would you like, Grandpa? She asked.

Just something good. The old man remained vague. The coins were still clunking.

The duo became lost due to the lack of criteria. Something good? Like what? Treasure? Weapon?

How about my head? Li Qiye interjected with his signature lazy voice.

Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief and stood aside.

Youre too funny, Sir. The old man smiled. Due to his caved-in cheeks, the smile looked awfully creepy.

Li Qiye got closer and said: Does it look like Im joking? How about this, Ill cut off my head and let you have a taste.

Sir, I dont eat raw. The hideous smile remained.

Thats fine, Ill cook it first.

Lu Qi and the old driver became confused again. Who would talk about cutting off their own head and boiling it for someone else to have a taste?

They stared at Li Qiye and it didnt look like he was joking.

Sir, I dont have that many teeth left, Im afraid I cant eat something so hard. The old man opened his mouth, revealing only a few yellow teeth. They seemed as if they could fall off at any moment, definitely unable to chew Li Qiyes head.

Then Ill cut off your head and boil it for you to eat, sounds good? Li Qiye smiled.

This suggestion was even stranger. How could the old man eat his own head? Thats impossible.

Well, I think my old bones might be too hard for chewing. The old man shook his head.

Dont worry about it, Ill take my time boiling it. Even things harder than bone will eventually break down. Li Qiye smirked.

No, no, I dont think I can wait that long. The old man responded and shook his bowl again: Sir, just give me something good.

So be it, heres something good. Li Qiye chuckled and suddenly kicked the old mans chest without showing any mercy.

Ah!! Lu Qi and the old driver shouted in astonishment.

Bam! The old man flew through the horizon like a meteor.

The duos mouth was wide open, not expecting this at all. Lu Qi knew that this old man was far stronger than her. How did Li Qiye manage to make contact? Why didnt the old man try to dodge?

The powerful hidden master really looked like a helpless beggar during that moment.

The duo couldnt make heads or tails of this event.
