366: Chapter 366 The Love-Hate Relationship Between the Black Emperor and the Reincarnation of the Underworld Lord

The Black Emperor finished the Flat Peaches in a few bites and licked the Immortal Pond liquid clean; at this moment, the entire dog was radiating a glow of happiness.

Jiang Hao looked down at the black dog and suddenly teased, "You just said I'm the best in your heart?"

"That's right!" The little black dog looked up and said earnestly, "In Xiao Hei's heart, the Heavenly Emperor is the best, the number one best in the world!"

The corners of Jiang Hao's mouth curled up slightly. "Then what about your Great Emperor? Where does he rank?"

Xiao Hei's tail froze.

It opened its mouth, looked at Jiang Hao, then turned its head to look at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was holding a teacup, looking at it with a half-smile.

Xiao Hei's ears slowly drooped.

"This... that..." it stammered, "The Great Emperor is good, and the Heavenly Emperor is good too. They're both good, both good..."

"Then who is better?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Uh, this..."

Xiao Hei tucked its tail between its legs.

It first looked at Jiang Hao, then at Qin Ming, and finally buried its head in its front paws, muttering, "Grandpa Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Hei doesn't dare to say..."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Hao laughed heartily; sometimes teasing this dog was quite amusing.

Jiang Hao naturally knew about this black dog calling itself the Black Emperor; when he first heard it, he was quite surprised.

Wasn't this fellow quite well-behaved? Especially when it was little, it was quite cute.

How did it end up like this now? Isn't it said that a good dog takes after its owner? Could it be...

Qin Ming was speechless. This Xiao Hei really knew how to be a simp; in front of Grandpa Heavenly Emperor, it was simply like night and day compared to how it acted outside.

...

The people the little black dog liked most, besides Qin Ming and Jiang Hao, was Feng Xi.

The first time Feng Xi saw it, she liked it immensely.

"Wow, what a cute dog!"

She lunged forward, grabbed the Black Emperor's neck, and rubbed its head vigorously.

The Black Emperor was rubbed until it was dazed, but it wasn't angry at all, its tail wagging rapidly.

"Fairy Feng Xi, please be gentler, gentler..."

Feng Xi laughed even more happily.

From then on, she came to find the Black Emperor to play every day, walking the dog, feeding the dog, and brushing its fur.

The Black Emperor also enjoyed it, lying on the ground with its eyes squinted, letting her do as she pleased.

Later, she took the Black Emperor to see Wu Liang.

Feng Xi and Wu Liang's tomb-raiding career was still continuing, though their gains had always been mediocre.

The first time the Fat Daoist saw the Black Emperor,

"Yo, whose dog is this? Why is it so ugly?"

The Black Emperor looked at him sideways: "You fat guy, who are you?"

"This Daoist's surname is Wu and given name is Liang, the top dog of the Tomb Realm. You mutt, you've got some nerve; you should address me as Lord Wu!"

"Heh!"

A black shadow flashed by, and a miserable scream rang out.

"Ah! You dead dog, let go! Why are you biting me? Are you a dog or something? Oh wait, you are a dog!"

"Woof! Call me Lord Black Emperor!"

"Damn it, you dead dog, be gentler! That part is about to be bitten off by you!"

"Woof! It's useless to keep it anyway. If it's off, it's off!"

"You dead dog, what exactly do you want?"

"Call me Lord Black Emperor! Woof! I smell the aura of treasure. Quick, halves on sight! Hurry up and give me my treasure!"

Wu Liang: ?

Hearing what this black dog said, he was instantly stunned, his head full of question marks.

What did it mean by "halves on sight"? This was his own treasure.

Wu Liang had truly broadened his horizons today; he had met someone even more despicable and more shameless than himself—oh, wait, it was a dog.

"You dog haven't woken up yet, have you? I don't have any of your treasures here. Stop dreaming."

"Woof! How dare you call the great Lord Black Emperor a Dog Demon? Prepare to die!"

The Black Emperor started biting directly.

"In front of the Heavenly Emperor, I won't fuss over you calling me Xiao Hei, but now that we're out of the Heavenly Court, what should you call me?"

Who was it? It was the Black Emperor, with the Heavenly Emperor and the Great Emperor Taichu as its backers. Except for Feng Xi, whose background could compare to its?

"Aren't you a dog? You are a Dog Demon!"

"You're the Dog Demon! I am the Dog Emperor, the Emperor among dogs, or the Sovereign among dogs works too!"

The Black Emperor bit down hard again, and Wu Liang immediately let out a miserable cry.

The scene was a bit strange now; the Black Emperor was biting one of Wu Liang's hands and wouldn't let go, while Wu Liang was tugging at the Black Emperor's head, trying to make it release him.

One man and one dog were thus entangled.

"Dead dog, if you don't let go, I'll skin you alive!"

"Heh, just you?" The Black Emperor expressed disdain. Even if it stood still for him to skin, he wouldn't be able to!

Although its Realm wasn't high, what was its status? Everything it ate was peerless treasures, it drank Immortal Pond water, and the fruits it ate were all Flat Peaches.

Wu Liang exerted his strength but found that the dog's head was biting down far too tightly; he couldn't budge it at all.

Moreover, its skin was indeed powerfully defensive; he had been pounding on it for a long time, and there was no reaction at all.

What kind of breed of Dog Demon was this, for goodness' sake? Was this even a black dog?

Fortunately, his own body was also tough enough, otherwise he would have been done for by this dead dog. Wu Liang looked at the white marks on his leg, speechless.

To think that he, Wu Liang, as the top dog of the Tomb Realm who had traversed the Origin Realm for many years, was actually being bested by a dog.

He decided that in the future, he must show this dead dog what's what and give it a good lesson.

"If I get the chance, I must drug this dead dog's food," Wu Liang thought to himself.

But for now, he had to give in first and find a way to make this dead dog let go; this dog was too much of a rogue.

"Quickly let go, I'll take you to find treasures."

"Where? You're not lying to me, are you?"

While biting Wu Liang's thigh, the Black Emperor looked at Wu Liang with a suspicious expression. How could it trust this Fat Daoist?

Feng Xi had told it that this Fat Daoist was full of nonsense.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. This Daoist recently discovered another peerless grand tomb; there will definitely be countless treasures inside."

Wu Liang hurried to guarantee.

The Black Emperor's eyes lit up: "Tomb raiding?"

"Yes! Ancient Emperors Tombs, Heavenly Venerable Tombs, Great Emperor Tombs—we have them all!"

"Are there many good things?"

"Many, very many!"

"Alright then, I'll trust you this once."

The Black Emperor thought for a moment and decided to trust this Fat Daoist once. If this fellow dared to lie to it, it would let the Fat Daoist experience the power of its Invincible Dog Teeth.

"Phew."

The Fat Daoist saw that the black dog finally let go and felt a sigh of relief in his heart. This dead dog's teeth were too hard.

From then on, the trio was officially formed.

Feng Xi, Wu Liang, and the Black Emperor.

The winds and clouds of tomb raiding rose once again.

Once the three of them got together, they never had a moment of peace.

Digging up this Ancient Tomb today, exploring that ruin tomorrow.

Sometimes they had a full harvest, and sometimes they were chased all over the mountains by traps.

The Black Emperor ran the fastest, cursing as it ran: "Fatty Wu, you fraud! Didn't you say there was no danger in here? This Emperor has been screwed over by you again!"

Wu Liang ran until he was out of breath: "How was this Daoist supposed to know there were still living things inside? Can this be blamed on me?"

"Didn't you brag about being the top dog of the tomb-raiding world? Is this it?"

"Even a top dog has moments of failure! Besides, isn't it your fault for touching things randomly?"

"Woof! This Emperor was looking for treasures!"

Besides tomb raiding, Wu Liang and the Black Emperor were also a pair of bickering rivals.

When the two were together, nine times out of ten they were fighting over things.

Fighting over treasures, fighting over credit—they fought over everything.

"You dead dog, hurry up and give that to me! This Medicine King is something this Daoist saw first!"

"I'm the one who got it first!"

"Bullshit! Without me, could you have even entered this tomb?"

"You're the one talking bullshit! Without my Great Emperor Formation Patterns, could you have escaped?"

"Even so, your contribution isn't as great as mine. I should get first pick of the treasures."

"Woof!"

"Ah! You dead dog, hurry up and let go!"
