Chapter 934: There's Something I Don't Understand

Angered, Dong Qitian suddenly wound up his mystical Qi and exhaled it in a single breath, momentarily parting his beard and hair to reveal a face full of blurred splendor.

At that moment, his face became less obscured. One could at least tell where his set of facial features were located.

Yun Yang inspected him as he rambled on in amazement. "The person who imprisoned you was being painstakingly original. Still, how did you survive, being bound like this all this time? How did you eat? Or drink?"

"If a man possesses the will to live, he'll have a few tricks to keep him alive. He'll definitely find a way..." Dong Qitian sighed begrudgingly.

He wound up his Qi again and the air slowly condensed into water. Like it was being poured out of an invisible, formless teapot, the water trickled downwards and into his mouth.

In the next moment, Dong Qitian's lips emitted some sort of hiss, transmitting it towards afar...

Moments later, a slight swooshing sound could be heard.

Yun Yang directed his gaze to wherever the sound originated from. A tangled mess of mice, scorpions, centipedes, snakes, a variety of creepy-crawlies emerged from the crevices and made their way towards him.

Still, Yun Yang could not wrap his mind around it. With Dong Qitian bound securely like that, how could he grab these creatures and ingest them into his belly?

As he continued to stare, the strands of hair beneath Dong Qitian's feet started wriggling about suddenly, meandering between the menagerie of crawlers leisurely as if it was picking its prey. A brightly-colored venomous snake was chosen, tied up and then brought towards his feet.

Following that, as if pardoned from their terrible fate, the rest of the creatures suddenly scampered off, not a single one left in sight.

Dong Qitian continued to work his magic, using his hair by delegating tasks among each individual strand. Strands of hair injected with mystical Qi deftly stripped the skin of the venomous snake. To stop the snake from retaliating, another strand of hair had already stabbed itself through its heart, efficiently taking the snake down with one simple strike.

After deftly cleaning it, what was left hovering in midair was a fresh, clean slab of snake meat.

Dong Qitian cultivated his Qi once more and spat out a puff of mystical Qi. It was not that much of an unusual sight, but when that puff of mystical Qi started to ignite in midair, it was simply quite extraordinary.

The most amazing thing was that the strands of hair holding the slab of snake meat did not fear fire. Instead, it held the meat over it, flipping it over and over while grilling it. In just a short moment, a pleasant smell wafted over.

The slab of meat was clearly cooked. The scent of it permeated the air, enticing those around it and causing them to salivate involuntarily.

Dong Qitian brought the snake meat towards his lips with the help of his hair and bit into it, occasionally tipping his head upwards to ingest sips of water between the bites.

Sustenance-wise, he was comfortably satisfied.

Yun Yang could not help but watch in amazement at the sight!

"What talent!"

Dong Qitian looked extremely pleased with himself. "It's still the same old saying — a man, when desperate, can come up with any solution. In such a time and day, I can only think of ways to save myself — what other options do I have besides this? Still, this is quite something, no?"

Dong Qitian's face wore an expression which clearly said 'I'm amazing, go on and compliment me'.

Yun Yang would definitely not let him down.

"Amazing!"

Yun Yang did not hold back on the compliments and gave him a thumbs-up. "Elder Dong, you're the most impressive person I've ever met in my life!"

Dong Qitian burst into laughter, very pleased with himself.

"However, there's something I don't understand. Please enlighten me, elder." Yun Yang requested.

"What is it? Spit it out!"

"It's actually something very simple. You've been imprisoned here for so long, but you could still manage to eat and drink due to your well-practiced cultivation base. However, now that you're eating and drinking, surely you'll have to excrete them, don't you?"

Yun Yang continued, filled with curiosity. "How did you settle this problem?"

Dong Qitian's hairy, gorilla-like face flushed. The fact that the color of his skin could still be easily identified despite his current condition indicated that it was not a wee bit of embarrassment at all.

However, Elder Dong was clearly not a common man. A string of nervous laughter ensued. "Young man, you're thinking too much. A high-level practitioner's body has very little impurities, so there's no need to defecate... W-What're you looking at?! Is there something interesting to look at here?"

Yun Yang had lowered his head, his gaze fixated at the ground between Dong Qitian's spread legs.

There was a very obvious dark brown stain on the ground... a whole circle of it.

There was another similar ring, stained a very dark brown in front of him.

Dong Qitian became enraged and started to yell in anger. "You... What the hell are you looking at? Don't... Don't you start imagining things! I'm warning you... damn it! Are you even here to save me, brat? You... Start working on it, what are you staring at?"

Yun Yang let out a very knowing 'oh'. "I see. You must be a man that doesn't really pay attention to the small details in life, do you, elder? Sorry, this humble one didn't get the hint in time!"

Dong Qitian was incensed. He bellowed, "You... What do you know! The... The... The color of this ground was originally like that, t-that wasn't by me! If it was really from me... why is there nothing left? Am I right? Did... Did you smell anything? No? You..."

Yun Yang replied innocently, "I... I didn't say anything, did I? Why are you being so irritated, elder?"

The green veins on Dong Qitian's neck were frighteningly obvious as he glared at Yun Yang with wrath. "You're clearly making fun of me, brat! You... You probably don't know this, but my cultivation level is extremely high... As long as I put my mind to it, I can expel the... to a few hundred feet away... Why would I allow them to fall all around me... You... What're you laughing at? Argh... I'm so angry!"

Overwhelmed by agitation, the chains on Dong Qitian's body rattled noisily as he pulled onto them.

"Oh my, you didn't have to get so emotional..."

Yun Yang opened up his arms. "I know nothing and I didn't say anything. Let's first discuss the problem of how to get you out of here. The chains on your body now must be of some unusual quality... You still couldn't break out of them even with your powerful cultivation strength, elder, so they must be pretty difficult to deal with..."

Dong Qitian was still wallowing in a pool of wrath. He was embarrassed and caught in an awkward situation. Without a place to hide his shame, he could only retort, "Since you're so capable, you can just identify what is it — what are you asking me for?!"

Yun Yang's face darkened. This man seemed to have a rather large ego.

"My cultivation base is shallow. How can I tell what are we looking at? I'm not capable of this at all, so I can't save you. Please consult an expert on this and wait for the next best person to assist you." Displeased, Yun Yang was prepared to leave.

"Slow down!" Dong Qitian panicked. "How can you just leave like that? I took an oath."

"You just said it yourself — you took an oath. I didn't, so why can't I leave?" Yun Yang shrugged, very relaxed.

"Young friend..." The way Dong Qitian uttered this was so heart-wrenching and distressful it almost caused Yun Yang to burst out laughing.

"Fine, fine. Let me have a look at those chains..." Yun Yang's brows were furrowed even more tightly the more he stared at them.
