Gods: Start with Goblins

"I, I actually escaped from the beating by the real dragons in the last world. The real dragons relied on their bloodline and always looked down on us Jiaos, saying that we were fake dragons. I was just unlucky and met several real dragons. These real dragons had no moral principles and several of them beat me up. I had no choice but to escape to the lower world."

Speaking of this, Hei Jiao still felt a little embarrassed.

It would have been fine if he couldn't beat Luodan, but he was forced by Luodan to tell him about his past shameful events, which made him feel really uncomfortable.

After listening to this, Luo Dan rubbed his chin.

Now the Black Flood Dragon has been subdued by him. Such an embarrassing past will indeed make it easy for it to lose face in its future cultivation.

The best way is to help him fight back in the upper realm and resolve this knot in his heart. Then his cultivation journey will be smooth sailing.

So Luodan curled up a smile and looked at the black dragon.

Black Dragon didn't know what Luo Dan was thinking and sighed.

"I don't know how long I have to hide in the lower realm before I can return to the upper realm. But returning to the upper realm is not so good. I will only be looked down upon and bullied by the True Dragon Clan. In the lower realm, these spirit beasts all respect me."

Having said that, the Black Dragon remembered that since he came to the underworld, no one except Luodan could threaten his life.

Isn’t this kind of day another kind of freedom?

The black dragon fell into deep thought, but before he could figure out whether he should return to the upper realm for revenge or stay in the lower realm and live a happy life.

Luo Dan suddenly spoke and made a decision for him.

"It's okay. Just follow me. I will take you to the upper realm and I will help you get revenge. Aren't they just some dragons? How dare you be so arrogant?"

After hearing Luo Dan's words, Hei Jiao was immediately furious. What do you mean by dragon pride? That's their capital for pride.

Luodan was just a kid from the lower world. He only defeated me because of luck and my poor condition.

They dare to say such cruel words.

"Boy, you can't even go to the upper realm, and you still say you want to help me fight back. I think there is really no future in following you. How about this, you cancel the contract, and I will definitely give you a chance."

The Black Dragon rolled his eyes as he spoke. He was already thinking about how to trick this human boy.

He just has brute force and is definitely easy to deceive.

Unexpectedly, Luodan did not covet the so-called opportunity he mentioned as he thought.

Luo Dan glanced at him calmly, and he actually felt a little scared.

"You still don't know me well enough. Although you may not accept it now, I will use my true ability to convince you and make you willing to submit to me."

After Luo Dan finished speaking, he returned to his nonchalant look.

"Well, now that the retreat is over, it's time for me to go back."

"You can come back with me, but you have to reduce your size."

After Luo Dan finished speaking, the black dragon turned around and looked at the forest.

He had been enjoying a comfortable life here for a while, but now he can no longer enjoy this comfortable life.

Since it has been tamed by Luodan and turned into a spirit beast, it will definitely have to follow Luodan on his adventures in the future.

So he shrank his body and went to Luodan's spirit beast space.

"Call me if you need anything, don't bother me with trivial matters."

As the black dragon returned to the space to rest in a depressed mood, Luodan was in a good mood.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Dan went to find Pei Sheng first, but Pei Sheng had already come out of seclusion.

The longer the retreat is, the better. Sometimes even a month won’t make any progress in your strength and it would be a waste of time.

So ever since Pei Sheng came out of seclusion and saw that Luo Dan had not returned yet, he has been helping out with various things in the City Lord's Mansion, hoping to do his best to help Luo Dan with more things.

At this moment, he was helping to trim flowers and plants in the City Lord's Mansion.

Although he had cultivated to the eighth level of the Holy Throne, he was not arrogant as a cultivator at the eighth level of the Holy Throne.

He knew that this couldn't possibly be his limit, and there was no need for him to feel proud and complacent about this level of strength.

The city lord is Luodan's friend, so naturally he should respect him.

It is natural to help clean some spiritual flowers and herbs in the home of someone you should respect.

With this mentality, Pei Sheng trimmed the flowers and plants very naturally.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing past his ears. Although it was slight, he reacted quickly thanks to his keen sense.

Pei Sheng turned his head and looked towards the direction where the wind was coming from, and saw a figure standing on the eaves of a room in the City Lord's Mansion.

The figure had its back to him.

Although Pei Sheng felt that the person looked familiar, he did not dare to jump to conclusions and remained on guard.

"Who are you? What brings you to the City Lord's Mansion?"

The figure standing on the roof did not answer him, but turned around slowly.

The breeze blew through his hair, and it fluttered in strands.

Pei Sheng saw the figure on the roof clearly. The man was wearing a wooden mask and his face could not be seen clearly.

Although there is no sense of murderous intent from him, when facing an unknown person like this, any slackness may result in death.

"Send your name quickly!"

Pei Sheng warned again, clenched his fists, and planned to call other guards from the City Lord's Mansion over.

However, the figure did not give him the chance to call for help. In just a moment, the figure that was originally on the roof flashed in front of him.

This speed is definitely not something he can resist!

Pei Sheng's heart was filled with alarm and he immediately stepped back without any intention of showing off.

If you can't win, just retreat first. Now you are in the City Lord's Mansion, and I'm sure this unknown person won't dare to act recklessly.

However, he had only run a few steps back when the masked man caught up with him and started fighting with him bare-handed.

Pei Sheng has now cultivated to the eighth level of the Holy Throne. Most people are no match for him, but when facing this masked man, he still feels very exhausted.

He dared to believe that he had definitely not provoked any enemies during this period of time, but he didn't know whether this enemy was aimed at the city lord.

If so, he would definitely prioritize protecting the city lord's safety.

When fighting with the masked man, Pei Sheng discovered that his strength was definitely far superior to his own.

If he came for the city lord, he would definitely get rid of himself quickly and implement his plan.

But he seemed to be playing with me. He responded to my moves calmly and did not use too much force when he took the initiative.

The most important thing is that this person did not fight himself with weapons.

Just as Pei Sheng’s doubts were growing.

While thinking, his defense speed slowed down a lot, leaving a huge flaw. At this moment, the masked man rushed forward and pressed his acupuncture points with two fingers.

Pei Sheng wanted to defend himself, but it was too late.

The expected pain did not appear. Instead, two fingers landed on his acupoints neither lightly nor heavily.

It's a bit painful, but definitely not fatal.

"Being distracted in the middle of a fight is not a good thing."

The familiar voice dispelled all the doubts in Pei Sheng's heart.

The masked man was none other than Luo Dan.

It seems that Luodan has come out of his retreat and wants to spar with me when he sees me.

With this in mind, Pei Sheng was no longer cautious and instead took the initiative to attack.

Since it was Luo Dan, then he didn't have to worry. Luo Dan's strength was far above his own, and it was just a friendly fight, so he wouldn't get hurt.

After a fight between the two, Pei Sheng's martial arts, which had not been very solid at first, were consolidated in the battle with Luo Dan.

It was half an hour later that the two separated.

Luo Dan still looked relaxed and everything was under control, but Pei Sheng had a little sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he had just had a fierce battle.

When the competition was over, Luodan took off the wooden mask that Xiaohua made for him using vines.

With a gratified smile on his face, Luo Dan walked to Pei Sheng and patted him on the shoulder, showing great appreciation.

"Yes, you have made such great progress in these few months of seclusion. It seems that you have a bright future. However, although your internal strength has improved, you still don't have enough experience in actual training."

Pei Sheng nodded. In fact, he had the same feeling in his heart, but he had never had the opportunity to improve himself.

"I have to thank you today, Senior. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to get promoted."

After hearing his polite words, Luo Dan felt a little strange in his heart. He frowned slightly and patted his shoulder heavily.

"What are you talking about? You've only not seen me for a few months and you're already calling me senior. What's the point of calling me senior? You're not bad in talent either. I'm just giving you some pointers."

Hearing Luo Dan say this, Pei Sheng blushed and changed the subject.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, I was talking nonsense before, I hope you can forgive me."

Luo Dan shook his head helplessly.

Pei Sheng is such a loyal person. He has a bright future but is not at all arrogant. What he likes is Pei Sheng's loyal nature.

What's more, since he has talent, why not give him a hand, which would be a good idea.

"Hey, I see that you have already cultivated to the eighth level of the Holy Throne. You have great talent, but you don't seem to have a spirit beast yet?"

Luo Dan asked casually and Pei Sheng nodded after listening.

"Yes, we don't have time to find our own spirit beasts in the barracks. Most of the time we focus on training."

After hearing Pei Sheng say this, Luo Dan became more certain about taking him to find a spirit beast.

"Then if you are free recently, let's go to the Holy Beast Forest. There are many spiritual beasts in the Holy Beast Forest. With me here, you will definitely be able to find a suitable spiritual beast."

After the two made the agreement, they set off the next day.

The Holy Beast Forest is a forest that does not belong to any force, and many spiritual beasts are born and grow up in it.

This forest contains many mysteries that neither humans nor demons have yet to fully explore.

Luo Dan took Pei Sheng to the Holy Beast Forest and searched the periphery first.

The spirit beasts on the periphery were relatively weak. At Luodan's request, Pei Sheng did not sign the contract, but he did not harm those spirit beasts either. Instead, he let them go.

The sun rose from the east and was overhead. Although there was shade provided by the forest, Luodan still felt hot.

Suddenly, Luo Dan's ears moved and his movements instantly stopped.

When Pei Sheng saw Luo Dan's appearance, he knew that he had encountered a spiritual beast, so he also slowed down his movements.

Luo Dan slowly walked to a bush, clenched his hands into claws, and pounced forward.

A snow-white rabbit was caught by Luodan. It moved its hind legs violently, trying to break free from Luodan's restraints.

After seeing that it was just a rabbit, Luo Dan sighed, loosened his hand, and the rabbit ran away from him.

"All we encountered along the way were rabbits, foxes and the like. It really didn't meet our expectations."

Pei Sheng smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, Master Luo."

After hearing what Pei Sheng said, Luo Dan calmed down and continued to walk leisurely inside.

After a while, it was time for lunch, and Luo Dan and Pei Sheng both took out their dry food.

As the two of them were eating their dry food in silence, they suddenly heard a female voice exploding not far away.

"How annoying! Why are all the spiritual beasts we caught useless? Is the Holy Beast Forest just like this?"

Luodan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked curiously towards the place where the sound came from. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely see a pink dress in the jungle.

Luo Dan and Pei Sheng slowly walked nearby and could hear more clearly.

"These spirit beasts are so useless, they are not worthy of my status at all. If I can't find a good spirit beast, I will go back!"

Zhang Xiaoruo pouted, looking dissatisfied. She looked at the gray rabbit in her hand and suddenly frowned.

"I'm starving. I didn't even bring enough dry food. Since you're in my hands, I'll have roasted rabbit for lunch today!"

Luo Dan frowned, fearing that Zhang Xiaoruo's action would attract powerful spirit beasts, so he stepped forward to stop him.

"No, what if the smell of barbecue and the light of fire attract powerful spirit beasts?"

Zhang Xiaoruo was very wary of this sudden uninvited guest and looked Luo Dan and Pei Sheng up and down.

"Who are you? I'm hungry and you don't give me barbecue. Do you want to take care of this?"

Zhang Xiaoruo snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain for Luo Dan.

"You just asked me what to do if a powerful spirit beast comes? Well, let me tell you, if a powerful spirit beast comes, I will of course sign the contract directly. Only powerful spirit beasts are worthy of me."

Luo Dan didn't expect that Zhang Xiaoruo was more confident than himself, but she didn't look very powerful either.

"Anyway, I'm just reminding you. If you insist on doing this, I won't stop you from dying."

Luo Dan was helpless. He had clearly given the reminder out of good intentions, so how could he be misunderstood by the other party?
When Zhang Xiaoruo heard Luo Dan say this, he felt even more disdainful.

"You are cowardly and incompetent, but don't think I am cowardly too. You are afraid of the so-called powerful spirit beasts, but I am not. It seems that these spirit beasts are so cowardly, so how powerful can they be?"

After he finished speaking, a burst of internal force came out from Zhang Xiaoruo's hands, which directly killed the rabbit that was still trying to escape from his hands.

Seeing the gray rabbit paralyzed and limp, Luo Dan was helpless. Since Zhang Xiaoruo said so, they could only respect the fate of others. (End of this chapter)
