Chapter 532 Takamachi's Law
Why a pig? That's a good question, but please forgive me, Master Taiyi, for not wanting to answer it!
Taiyi Zhenren's face turned as red as a pig's liver with anger. A great writer, whose surname was both Zhou and Lu, once said, "Don't hit someone in the face, don't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings."

However, after observing him closely for some time, Taiyi Zhenren discovered that this guy not only hits people in the face when he hits them, but also likes to expose their shortcomings when he curses them. He can even dig up the ashes of their ancestors for eighteen generations and scatter them.

Therefore, you must never rashly confront Li Yu, otherwise you might lose your mother in three sentences.

So… “Heh~ I just like pigs, so what? Pigs are so cute, all pink and tender~” Taiyi Zhenren said to Li Yu.

"Oh~~" Li Yu drawled out his "oh" and said, "So that's how it is~ I thought that treasure changed according to your appearance~"

"Nonsense~" Taiyi Zhenren turned his head away and ignored Li Yu, indicating that he did not want to talk to him.

"However, since you've gone to such lengths, I, as your master, can't be stingy."

Li Yu smiled, and then the golden ripples behind him opened, revealing a set of crimson armor floating out.

The Armor of the Setting Sun

Grade B++
"Another high-level magic weapon!" Taiyi Zhenren stared at Li Yu's treasure vault with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could crawl in and rob it before coming out, but even a fool would know that was impossible.

"This treasure will automatically adjust its size according to your body~" Li Yu said, pointing at Nezha. The armor of the setting sun instantly turned into a red light and entered Nezha's body.

"Thank you, Master!" Nezha thanked Li Yu with a big smile. Now he had all his weapons, armor, and magical treasures.

Nezha thought for a moment, counted, and then realized, "Hmm! I'm fully equipped from head to toe."

"That's great! Young Master Nezha has become even more powerful now. This will definitely make Chentang Pass even safer in the future."

"That's right, that's right. You don't know, last time I was farming outside, a huge snake demon suddenly appeared, and Young Master Nezha smashed it into mincemeat with one hammer."

"That's right! Young Master Nezha is exceptionally brave and will surely become the guardian deity of Chentang Pass in the future!"

And so, amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the banquet began!
Soon, a figure in white walked in, much to Nezha's anticipation.

"It's Ao Bing!"

Nezha looked at the newcomer and shouted happily, "Ao Bing! Over here!" Nezha waved loudly at Ao Bing.

However, neither Nezha nor Ao Bing noticed that the moment Ao Bing appeared, Taiyi Zhenren's expression turned extremely ugly! His face flushed red, and he leaned close to Li Jing's ear and began to whisper something.

"Happy birthday, Nezha..." Ao Bing gently congratulated Nezha, his face hidden in his hood.

"Haha! It's so great that you could come!"

Nezha, oblivious to the strange atmosphere that had arisen around his father, nonchalantly pulled Ao Bing to the main table in his house and introduced him to Li Yu and the others: "Master! Parents~ This is my good friend, Ao Bing! He's here today to congratulate me~!"

"Hello~" Li Yu greeted Ao Bing with a smile.

"Hello...!"

This is Nezha's master!?
Ao Bing was startled. He hadn't expected that this person with such a different view of the demon race would be so young. He had thought that Li Yu should be a senior, but it seemed that things were not quite as he had imagined.

"Hello, young friend. Since you're here, please sit down and let me, Li, show you some hospitality."

Li Jing stood up calmly and said to Ao Bing, "By the way, why are you wearing a hood? There are so many people here, it must be quite hot. Why don't you take off the hood? It will be much cooler."

"This...is probably unnecessary..." Ao Bing said somewhat awkwardly.

He was suddenly overcome with enthusiasm and came to Nezha's banquet without considering the consequences of his exposure.

"Hey, if Ao Bing doesn't want to pick them, then don't. It doesn't make much difference anyway~" Nezha grinned, oblivious to the unusual atmosphere as he was lost in the joyful mood.

"Alright~" Li Jing nodded, "Since my son Nezha has said so, then let's follow his lead~ Please take a seat, young brother~"

Li Jing smiled and pretended not to care, extending his hand to invite Ao Bing...

"Thanks……"

Suddenly! As Li Jing approached Ao Bing, he made a sudden move, striking Ao Bing with a palm.

Li Jing, as the general of Chentang Pass, was not a cultivator, but his martial arts skills were by no means weak. He was one of the top martial arts masters in the entire Yin Shang Dynasty. Otherwise, how would he deal with demons and monsters?

The moment he realized Li Jing was making a move, Ao Bing retreated rapidly.

But Li Jing's target was never him, but his hood!

"Father! What are you doing!" Nezha never expected his father to suddenly attack Ao Bing.

However, at this moment, Li Jing had broken the hood on Ao Bing's head, revealing his face.

"So you're from the Dragon Clan~" Li Jing stared intently at Ao Bing: "No wonder I could sense your powerful water elemental energy the moment you entered."

"Father! What's wrong with the Dragon Clan again! Ao Bing is a good person! He..."

Nezha thought that Li Jing had discovered Ao Bing's identity as a dragon and that he was a monster who had deliberately infiltrated the city, which was why he took action. However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Taiyi Zhenren.

He shouted, his face flushed and neck bulging, "Who do we have here! It's you dragons who stole the Spirit Pearl! Instead of staying in the sea, you stole it! I'm going to report you to the Heavenly Court!"

"what!"

Ao Bing never expected that his secret about the Spirit Pearl would be exposed!
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Li Jing asked Taiyi Zhenren solemnly.

This guy is always unreliable; this time, I'll make sure I hit the mark first.

"No mistake! I can't be wrong about the aura of the spirit pearl on him!"

Taiyi Zhenren pointed in Ao Bing's direction and said confidently.

At the same time, his gaze also fell upon Li Yu, his questioning tone very clear, as if to say, "Didn't you say that Shen Gongbao stole the Spirit Pearl? How did it end up in the hands of the Dragon Clan?"

Meanwhile, Nezha stared at Ao Bing in disbelief, his mind in complete turmoil. Why? Why was his friend the one who schemed against him?

He knew perfectly well that he was originally supposed to be the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, but someone tricked him and stole the Spirit Pearl. He was forced to be born with the Demon Orb, which led to him having to undergo a life-or-death tribulation curse.

He didn't care anymore. Whether it was the Demon Orb or the Spirit Orb, he was still Nezha. But why was it his trusted friend behind the scenes?

But...didn't Master say it was Shen Gongbao? At this moment, Nezha's mind was filled with questions again.

This made Nezha feel a little deceived.

"I...ah...I told you no, I didn't want you to come, you...you can see...something's happened, right!"

Just then, a stuttering voice rang out from the corner.

"Shen Gongbao!"

Upon hearing the familiar stuttering voice, Taiyi Zhenren immediately recognized Shen Gongbao.

"Tai~Taiyi~you're living a pretty comfortable life here~"

"Shen Gongbao! What are you doing here?!"

Taiyi Zhenren shouted at Shen Gongbao.

However, Shen Gongbao completely ignored Taiyi Zhenren's intentions.

He walked straight up to Ao Bing and said, "I...I told you~ Humans...ah...humans have absolutely no...ah goodwill towards demons!"

“You…look…you insisted on coming. If you hadn’t…ah no…if you hadn’t come, and Nezha had died under the Heavenly Tribulation Curse…you would have been safe. But look…now the secret is exposed. Only by killing all the people of Chentang Pass can you…conceal the truth about the Spirit Pearl…” Shen Gongbao patted Ao Bing’s shoulder: “Now…now is not the time for you to be exposed. At this time…if your…your…if this matter is reported to the Heavenly Court, the Dragon…ah the Dragon Clan will be…ah…ah…”

"No chance of recovery?"

Seeing Shen Gongbao struggling to spell out the lines for so long without success, Nezha grew anxious for him and decided to recite the lines for him.

"Ah, right! Utter...utter ruin!"

"This... Master... I...!"

Ao Bing was also dumbfounded. He never expected things to develop to this extent.

"Hey~!"

At this moment, Nezha said to Shen Gongbao, "I'm asking you, are you that Shen...that...Shen...???"

"Lord Shen...Lord...Oh Lord Shen..."

"Oh! Eunuch Shen, right!"

Nezha suddenly looked enlightened: "I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're such a grown-up, why do you have to act like a father-in-law? Your mother didn't give birth to you to be a father-in-law!"

"Your fathers finally found someone to carry on the family line, and you've become a father-in-law. Your mother in the afterlife would probably be so angry she'd come back to life and give you a beating—well, maybe not, since your ashes have already been scattered. You see?"

Nezha grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground...

"Doesn't this look like your mom's ashes being scattered? The way they're being scattered is so free!"

Although Nezha didn't know the specifics, he guessed that Shen Gongbao was probably not a good person, because his master had said before that Shen Gongbao had stolen the Spirit Pearl, so he decided to criticize him first.

"You!! Ah...you...I...! You..."

Shen Gongbao never expected that Nezha, this little brat, would start spewing out a torrent of words like a machine gun.

Shen Gongbao, who already had a stutter, was so angry at Nezha that his hands and feet trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word while pointing at Nezha.

Not only Shen Gongbao, but also Ao Bing and Li Jing and his wife were stunned. They had never seen such a sharp greeting before, and they never dreamed that Nezha, who was like a three-year-old child, could say such a thing.

Taiyi Zhenren was already used to this.

"Amazing!" Taiyi Zhenren looked at Li Yu and quietly asked, "Did you teach him all of this?"

"Not that strong," Li Yu shook his head. "This is basic stuff."

"This is just basic stuff!?" Master Taiyi's eyes widened. "Then what level is considered powerful?"

"Heh~" Li Yu sneered disdainfully: "Don't ask me how strong I am. I had parents for three years in Zu'an. When you get to Zu'an, you'll understand what the art of language is!"

Taiyi Zhenren kept Li Yu's words in mind. He didn't know where Zu'an was, but he swore that even if he starved to death or jumped off the Zhaixing Tower, he would never set foot on the land of Zu'an again.

"Shen Gongbao!" Taiyi Zhenren ignored Li Yu's words and turned to Shen Gongbao, demanding, "I ask you! Why did you steal the Spirit Pearl! Do you know that this was an order from the Heavenly Venerable!"

"Why!?" Shen Gonggong, spitting out his teeth, roared at Taiyi Zhenren, "Then why is it that you, this fatso, can be one of the Twelve Golden Immortals! I'm better than you in every way! Why? We subdued the Chaos Pearl together! Why should the position of the Twelve Golden Immortals be reserved for you?!"

"Just because I'm a monster!??"

"Just because I'm a leopard spirit?!"

Shen Gongbao roared loudly at Taiyi Zhenren, no longer stuttering, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

Then, Shen Gongbao also revealed his plan, starting with stealing the Spirit Pearl, cooperating with the Dragon Clan, sending Ao Bing to participate in the Investiture of the Gods, and then ascending to the ranks of immortals. Even if it was discovered that the Spirit Pearl had been stolen and replaced, by then it would be too late, and they could only go along with it.

"So this is the guy who caused trouble for Young Master Nezha!"

"As expected, none of the monsters are good people!"

"However... although Nezha was indeed the reincarnation of a demon, he didn't become a great demon~"

"It must be thanks to the immortal master's teachings~ Didn't General Li say before that it was thanks to Nezha's master teaching him the principles of being a good person~"

At this moment, everyone present finally understood the cause and effect. It turned out that it was this monster who had been causing trouble three years ago. If it weren't for him, Nezha would have become the true reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, instead of the Demon Orb that they had ostracized for three years.

"So...so you understand now, right?" Shen Gongbao looked at Nezha and smiled sinisterly, "You're not the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, you're the Demon Orb! I think your father and master both told you that you were the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, deceiving you into subduing demons! But you are actually the Demon Orb! In a moment, a heavenly tribulation will descend—you will be reduced to ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation Curse, and your life until death will be a deception! You are destined to be nothing but a demon!"

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Nezha pointed at Shen Gongbao and yelled, "Which eye of yours saw me get tricked! Don't use your walnut-sized brain to judge your master!"

"As for you, I can only give you one assessment: you're blind and have no sense of right and wrong!"

"I've known all along that I'm a Demon Orb! So what! Spirit Orb or Demon Orb? It doesn't matter to me at all!"

"What kind of person you want to become is not determined by a broken bead!"

"Whether I become a demon or an immortal! Only I decide!! Protecting the people of Chentang Pass is my own choice! I'm telling you! This land! I'm in charge!! Understand?"

"it is good!!"

"Young Master Nezha is right!"

"awesome!"

"That's the kind of momentum we're looking for!"

Upon hearing Nezha's words, the surrounding people erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Heh~ That sounds nice, but you're going to die from the Heavenly Tribulation Curse in a moment, that's unavoidable!"

Shen Gongbao turned to Ao Bing with a sinister look and said, "The Demon Orb Nezha suddenly went berserk and slaughtered everyone in Chen Tang Pass. Fortunately, Ao Bing, the Spirit Orb, subdued him, and then he was reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation Curse. What do you think of this script?"

"I...Master...I can't bring myself to do it..."

Ao Bing shook his head painfully.

"You can't bring yourself to do it?? Let me tell you! If they don't die today, your entire dragon race will be wiped out! The fate of your race is in your hands!"

"I……"

"Do it!"

"I……"

"Get started now!!"

With a loud shout from Shen Gongbao, Ao Bing cried out in pain, and then two hammers appeared in his hands.

Then Ao Bing shot into the sky, and everyone felt a powerful water element gathering in the sky.

"Master! What should we do?" Nezha asked Li Yu.

"According to the experience of a girl named Nanoha Takamachi, when you encounter this kind of situation, all you have to do is go up and grab the other person and beat them up, and then try to reason with them. If that doesn't work, beat them up again and keep trying!"

"Oh, I see... I understand now!!"
