When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the young man in front of him. He was handsome, with a silver hair crown on his head, long hair reaching his waist, and wearing a bright silver robe. Only his feet were bare.

However, the young man had a bright red chain around his waist.

The end of the chain extends from behind the void into the void itself, preventing Zhu Chongjiu from investigating its origin.

Whoops!

What a handsome young man!

With that kind of looks, if this were where I came from, I'd be at least a trainee.

If she had some talent, and with the support of two powerful women, her day of fame would be just around the corner!

When Xu Kong saw Zhu Chongjiu praising him in that teasing tone, he said, "What nonsense!"

I can sense that you have some wicked thoughts in your heart. Let me tell you, I am the young master of the Void Beast Clan. Don't try to pin any nonsense on me!

Upon hearing the void's reply, Zhu Chongjiu scoffed dismissively and pointed to the fiery red iron chain around its waist, asking, "Is this the thing that's keeping you locked up here?"

What is this?

Xu Kong glanced at the chain that Zhu Chongjiu was pointing to at his waist and replied, "That's right, this is what's locking me here."

This iron chain was woven by that person using the laws of fire.

"Look! The source of fire you carry behind you is the source of energy for this chain."

As he spoke, Xu Kong even tilted his chin slightly towards Zhu Chongjiu!

After the void finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu asked the void with some doubt, "Wasn't it the source of fire that suppressed you?"

"Also, the source of fire hasn't been here for over a hundred years, so why are you still locked up?"

Void replied somewhat boredly, "Sigh! It's really exhausting talking to someone as weak and ignorant as you."

I have to explain almost every sentence you say; I'm almost as good as your first teacher.

No! Do you really think that a source of fire that hasn't even developed sentience can suppress me?

Although its energy is beyond my reach, I am an existence that can traverse the void!

When no one is controlling it and it is calm, it is just a ball of fire that is neither dead nor extinguished, but with a slightly higher temperature.

I can easily cross the void and escape its control.

and also!

The fire law chain becomes ineffective simply because the source of fire stops charging it.

Even without any energy supplying the chains woven from the laws of fire, these chains can last for ten thousand years.

Do you think the one who suppressed me is a pushover?

Only a law more powerful than myself can control me!

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the disdainful tone in the void and retorted angrily, "How old are you? How old am I?"

You have a family legacy, while I'm just a simple migrant worker.

I reached the Emperor level in just a few months. You were still breastfeeding when you were in your thirties, weren't you?

"Isn't it normal that I don't understand some things?"

After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at the void.

Xu Kong looked at the somewhat angry Zhu Chongjiu and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Now that you've finished speaking, I only have one thing to tell you!

Zhu Chongjiu turned his head back and looked seriously into the void. "What is it?"

With a suppressed laugh, Xu Kong replied, "May you be reborn into a better family in your next life!"

Oh, and let me tell you something else.

I was born at what you call an Emperor level.

When I reach adulthood, I will be what you call a Saint-level being.

And most importantly, my Saint-level power is far greater than your human Saint-level power!

After finishing speaking, Xu Kong looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who had a deflated expression, and started laughing loudly while pointing at Zhu Chongjiu!

After the laughter in the void finally stopped, Zhu Chongjiu said calmly to the void, "Alright, to repay you for clearing up my doubts, I don't have anything that you can be satisfied with, so I can only provide you with emotional value. Now that you're happy, I can continue asking questions."

After hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Xu Kong was stunned for a moment before angrily saying, "Are you playing me?"

What do you mean I'm messing with you? I'm over thirty years old, do you think I'm as childish as you?

Besides, tell me if you were happy just now?

I was just trying to make you laugh!

Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand dismissively and replied to the void!

Hmm? The truth is I won, but I don't think you lost either? Void scratched his head and muttered to himself!

Seeing Xu Kong's appearance, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't stand it anymore and said bluntly, "You're an adult now, and I'm middle-aged. We've been arguing for days. Is this interesting?"

If it weren't for the fact that you've been holding back for tens of thousands of years, would I even bother with you?

If we can't even get out, what good is knowing more?

I asked these questions simply to satisfy my curiosity.

I have a few questions for you: "What is that red monster that flew out of the mountain?"

And what is the four-eyed eagle beast that comes out of the mountain pass?

Take it or leave it!

I'm not playing with you anymore!

If you're unhappy and want to kill me, go ahead, it doesn't matter to me!

Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu's expression, Xu Kong hurriedly walked towards Zhu Chongjiu's direction. However, after taking only two steps, the chains that penetrated deep into the void suddenly tightened, firmly controlling Xu Kong in place.

The controlled void stopped moving forward, as if it had become accustomed to this situation.

He then said, "Look at you, aren't you going to play anymore?"

I was just joking with you.

As you said, I can tell you've been in this space for quite a while, so I'm offering you some emotional support.

As for the two kinds of demonic beasts you mentioned, the four-eyed demonic beast is a parasitic beast on my main body. Ever since I discovered that the source of fire had disappeared for no reason, I would send the parasitic beast on my body out for a stroll whenever I had nothing else to do, to help me gather information and such.

However, the parasites that are released every now and then never return for some unknown reason.

If you don't come, I'm planning to release a few more this time, so they don't all get lost.

As Xu Kong spoke, his face grew increasingly gloomy until he finally glared at Zhu Chongjiu through gritted teeth, his voice growing softer and softer until he stopped speaking altogether.

He asked Zhu Chongjiu with a hint of doubt, "What's wrong? Did you say something wrong?"

As soon as Xu Kong finished speaking, Zhu Chongjiu rushed towards Xu Kong and punched him in the face. The two then began to wrestle.

Five minutes later, without either of them using any internal energy, Zhu Chongjiu was bruised and swollen, while Xu Kong was completely unharmed and held Zhu Chongjiu beneath him, asking, "Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

If you keep doing that, I won't be so polite!

"You're welcome! Do you know how I've been through all this time because of you?" Zhu Chongjiu shouted hoarsely!
