Chapter 129 - Chapter 129 : Dragon and Tiger Fight

In response to Long Jun's furious rebuke, Fang Yuan didn't even raise an eyebrow. He simply said:

"Are you done with your last words?"

"Good, I'm done playing as well."

Fang Yuan flashed in front of Long Jun, and with a sword made of earth, he decapitated the ferocious dragon head!

"I should have killed you directly before your physical body appeared..."

Long Jun's head rolled aside, its mouth still moving, making intermittent sounds.

Before it died, it deeply regretted, regretting why it had played the cat-and-mouse game with Fang Yuan.

What it didn't know was that, in the face of Fang Yuan's solid health, even if Fang Yuan's Yin soul stood still and let it strike, it could still hold on until its physical body appeared.

The reason Fang Yuan chose to dodge was simply to increase his margin for error.

[Slay the national luck host, Tian Du Long Jun. Good deed value +30,000]

Long Jun's enormous body crashed to the ground. This dragon lord, hailed as a peerless genius by demons, had died...

But that wasn't the end. Fang Yuan waved his hand, and Long Jun's fresh soul was summoned.

"Tell me, why are you the national luck host?"

Fang Yuan asked. When he met Ye Chuan earlier, he was quite curious about this. However, at that time, he didn't have the ability to summon souls.

Long Jun shook his head: "I don't know."

It didn't even know itself? Was this something randomly generated?

"Then where did you come from?" Fang Yuan asked again. "What is Tian Du?"

The demons Fang Yuan had encountered before, like the eagle, tiger, and crab, were all transformed from known animals into spirits.

But this Long Jun was different. It was clearly a creature from legends.

Long Jun shook his head again: "I don't know. Tian Du... I don't remember where it was."

Still no idea? Long Jun really seemed to know nothing...

Fang Yuan frowned: "Then what do you know?"

"I know I lost part of my memory," Long Jun explained:

"I should have survived a great calamity. After that, I forgot many things."

"I only remember that I am of noble dragon blood, and I despise the court, especially the royal family..."

Noble dragon blood, but despising the royal family? Could it be from a hidden family controlled by the royal family?

Dragons used as battle tools, dragon mothers... cough, cough...

Fang Yuan speculated randomly. Seeing that Long Jun didn't even know who it was, and couldn't provide any useful information, he waved his hand, dispersing Long Jun's soul.

At the same time, another thought arose in Fang Yuan's mind.

The royal family could control high-level martial artists of Yan Nation through refining spiritual energy.

The demons in Yan Nation also needed to absorb spiritual energy to increase their cultivation...

So, in theory, the royal family could also control the demons' cultivation...

But why didn't they do that? Why let the demons run rampant?

Was this method of control only effective for humans?

Unable to figure it out, Fang Yuan decided not to dwell on it. After finishing everything, he retrieved the earth sword,

Holding the dragon's head in one hand and the body in the other, he placed them next to the Tiger Demon and Crab Demon.

The demons were taken care of, and now it was time to focus on the main task.

As he said before, Fang Yuan planned to stew these three ingredients together.

It had to be said that the ingredients were abundant, and he probably couldn't finish them alone. Fang Yuan turned to look at Hou Yuntao, not far away.

"Thank you for your hard work," he said. "I'll treat you to a meal later."

At this moment, the Deputy General of Yongnan Province, Hou Yuntao, was still in a daze. When he heard Fang Yuan's words, he finally reacted,

But Hou Yuntao opened his mouth and didn't know how to respond to Fang Yuan.

After all, he had been chased by Long Jun from start to finish, without any effective means of resistance, so he really didn't know where his hardship lay.

However, the words weren't wrong. After all, being chased around like that was indeed exhausting, and he almost didn't make it out alive...

"Uh..." Hou Yuntao finally spoke:

"Lord, which demon king are you, um, no, which demon lord?"

Fang Yuan fell silent for a moment before replying, "What? Do I look like a demon?"

He thought he still looked quite human, right?

"No..." Hou Yuntao kept slapping his face: "My mind is still a little foggy. I didn't react in time. Sorry, sorry."

Actually, it wasn't his fault. After all, strong demons could easily take human form, and from the outside, you couldn't tell at all.

Not to mention, this wasn't just something Hou Yuntao couldn't tell. The just-dead Long Jun had also been calling Fang Yuan a monster...

"I'm not a demon," Fang Yuan explained:

"I'm the new master of Jianghai Prefecture, Fang Yuan. You can call me General Fang."

The title "General Fang" sounded quite pleasant to him, so he decided to stick with it from now on.

When Hou Yuntao heard Fang Yuan's name, he immediately realized,

No wonder he had never seen such a genius before. It turned out that Fang Yuan was from Jianghai Prefecture.

It made sense now, only someone like Chongwu Hou could mentor such a terrifying figure.

Could it be that General Fang was the illegitimate son of Chongwu Hou?

Wait a minute, what was Chongwu Hou's name again...

Hou Yuntao shook his head and stopped thinking about these random things. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed:

"General Fang, I am Hou Yuntao, Deputy General of Yongnan Province. Thank you for saving my life."

"Also, on behalf of the tens of millions of people in Yongnan Province, I thank you for eliminating these demons for them!"

At this point, he took a deep breath, his expression complicated.

The demons under the Iron Horn Demon King had been terrorizing Yongnan Province for a long time, and now two of them had been eliminated in one go.

Then there was the new Long Jun, whose power was far more terrifying than the average demon lord.

He had thought that this time, Yongnan Province would face complete destruction.

But before it had a chance to do any evil, it was already gone...

This General Fang's arrival was truly a pleasant surprise, a savior for Yongnan Province!

However, Fang Yuan casually waved his hand in response to Hou Yuntao's gratitude and then asked:

"Have you ever heard of Dragon and Tiger Fight?"

"Dragon and Tiger Fight?" Hou Yuntao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, my lord."

"This is a traditional dish from my hometown," Fang Yuan explained:

"But in my hometown, we don't have dragons, and tigers are rare. So the so-called Dragon and Tiger Fight is actually made by cooking snake meat and cat meat together."

"Some people think cat meat doesn't taste great, so they replace it with civet meat."

Hou Yuntao was completely confused, not understanding what Fang Yuan was talking about.

Fang Yuan, however, continued talking to himself, even showing a smile:

"And now, I can finally try making a real Dragon and Tiger Fight."

"General Hou, you're in luck. Being with me, you're going to have a great meal..."
