You Even Steal Dog Food

"An Yi, what did you do to Yaoyao? She just called and said you're a scumbag."

In the kitchen, Shen Muxuan was cooking and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"As the sect master of the Asura Sect, how could I be a scumbag? My character is obvious to all."

An Yi was lying on the sofa, boredly scrolling through his phone.

On the Martial Arts Alliance APP, news about him was skyrocketing, even reaching the point of dominating the entire front page.

Out of the top thirty trending news articles, twenty-one were about him.

Ranked at the very top was a highly controversial topic.

[Night Emperor An Yi vs. God of War Long Aoyun: Who is the true number one in Great Xia?]

The popularity of this topic was unprecedentedly high.

In the past, this would have been a question that people scoffed at.

But after the battle in the imperial capital, An Yi's slaying of the Hundred Ghosts Sect Master, Nie Xuan, had proven his strength to the world.

Within the Asura Sect, Death God Lin Chen, Nightmare Bai Xiu, Thousand Mechanisms Chen Bing, and the newly ranked Sword Venerable Xiao Ye.

The popularity of these four was also climbing rapidly, their momentum extremely strong.

Currently, the Asura Sect alone monopolized four spots on the Heavenly Ranking.

They were the second-ranked An Yi, third-ranked Lin Chen, fifth-ranked Chen Bing, sixth-ranked Bai Xiu, and ninth-ranked Xiao Ye.

Although everyone knew very well that the Asura Sect's true strength did not end there.

An Yi yawned out of boredom, scrolling through the comments below.

People were saying all sorts of things, and comments kept popping up.

Below was a voting button: An Yi accounted for 23%, while Long Aoyun took 77%!

Over 900,000 people had already participated in the poll.

The majority of people still supported Long Aoyun.

After all, his image as the God of War of Great Xia, unparalleled in the world, had been entrenched in their hearts for a long time and was deeply rooted.

On the other hand, whenever the name An Yi was mentioned, the image of a petty thug would still unconsciously come to mind.

They still refused to accept that this guy was stronger than the empire's Dragon Commander.

An Yi himself knew clearly that he was currently only at the mid-stage of the Tiangang realm.

Only after going berserk would he reach the peak of the Tiangang realm.

If he hadn't absorbed the dark spiritual energy from the heavy sword that originally sealed Hongtian, how could he possibly have been a match for the Nirvana realm Nie Xuan.

"An Yi, why don't you explain things to Yaoyao?"

Shen Muxuan took out the bowls and chopsticks, took off her apron, and said.

"Explain what?"

An Yi put down his phone and asked curiously.

"You're not a scumbag, but Yaoyao seems to have misunderstood you."

Shen Muxuan said with a light smile.

An Yi cleared his throat and said seriously, "It's fine. I firmly believe that rumors and slander will ultimately be defeated by the bright reality!"

Looking at Shen Muxuan's busy figure, An Yi wrapped his arms around her slender waist and hugged her.

A smile appeared on the corners of Shen Muxuan's mouth. "Alright, stop messing around. Wash your hands and let's eat."

"Let me hold you for a while."

An Yi said softly.

Next, it would be time for him to return to the Ancient Continent.

When that time came, it would likely be another separation. He was extremely reluctant to part in his heart.

"An Yi, can you promise me one thing?"

Shen Muxuan turned around, looked at him, and asked seriously.

"What is it?"

An Yi asked curiously.

"Promise me first!" Shen Muxuan said stubbornly.

"Then you should at least tell me what it is first."

Looking at Shen Muxuan pouting and staring at him, An Yi felt helpless and said with a doting expression, "Alright, alright, I promise."

A smile appeared on Shen Muxuan's breathtakingly beautiful face.

"If you return to the Ancient Continent, you must take me with you!"

Hearing this, An Yi hesitated a bit.

"What's wrong? Can't I?"

Shen Muxuan bit her lower lip lightly. "You just promised."

"No!"

An Yi took a deep breath and said seriously.

Over in the Ancient Continent, he wasn't having a very good time.

With a kill order issued against him by the God Clan, he was surrounded by danger!

If his identity was discovered, he could face pursuit and capture by the spiritualists of the entire continent at any moment.

Although he now possessed the strength of the Tiangang realm, in that world, it really wasn't enough to protect himself.

He didn't want Shen Muxuan to follow him and face such danger!

Shen Muxuan shook An Yi's arm and acted coquettishly, "Please, okay?"

Seeing An Yi's unmoved expression, Shen Muxuan's pretty face turned as red as bleeding. She pulled An Yi's hand upward and muttered softly, "W-what about this?"

Feeling the astonishingly soft scale in his hand, An Yi took a deep breath and steadied his Dao heart. "No!"

"No way, e-even this doesn't work!"

Shen Muxuan stomped her foot in anger, her aggrieved little mouth pouting.

"The Ancient Continent is more dangerous than you imagine. Be good and wait for me obediently at home!"

An Yi said in a gentle tone.

After hearing this, Shen Muxuan walked over angrily and poured all the dishes on the table into the rice pot.

Then, she gave An Yi a look, snorted, took out a rice spoon, hugged the rice pot, and started eating in big mouthfuls, her beautiful eyes still glaring at him.

An Yi looked completely bewildered. "Wait, Muxuan, what are you doing!"

"Eating!"

Shen Muxuan's mouth was stuffed full of white rice, her voice muffled, looking fiercely cute. "If you don't agree, don't even think about eating my food in the future!"

An Yi: "..."

Watching a massive pot full of white rice being polished off completely.

Who would have thought that this was done by the breathtakingly beautiful girl in ancient-style clothing right in front of him!

...

In the courtyard of the villa.

Next to the doghouse.

"An Yi, oh An Yi, you're really a piece of work! You're even stealing dog food!"

"It tastes pretty good."

An Yi threw away the cleanly gnawed large bone, let out a burp, and said, still wanting more.

Ever since he got rich, this dog's standard of living had become incredibly high.

Just this premium beef alone, on the tables of Western restaurants, it was sold by the gram!

Hongtian smoked a Chunghwa cigarette, pushed his eye patch with a dog paw, and said with a knowing look, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Muxuan?"

"Not exactly."

An Yi picked his teeth with a toothpick.

Did she really think that not cooking for him would make him yield?

That girl Muxuan was too silly!

Ordering takeout, eating at street stalls, cooking instant noodles, snatching dog food... which of these couldn't fill his stomach!

"She wants to go to the Ancient Continent, but that place is too dangerous," An Yi said.

Hongtian smoked his cigarette and said thoughtfully, "By the way, do you really plan to return to the Ancient Continent?"

Before its power was extracted, it had once pried into An Yi's secrets.

It knew about his situation in the Ancient Continent.

"To be honest, it's pretty good for you to stay in this world. You have money, status, and babes. Why must you go to that world and risk your life?"

Hongtian held the cigarette between his dog claws, looking like a real gangster.

An Yi said plainly, "Now, I'm afraid it's no longer a question of whether I want to go back or not."

During his last conversation with Long Aoyun, he found out that the Profound Domain connected the Ancient Continent and the secular world.

Now that the spiritual energy in the Profound Domain had been completely drained, the boundary between the Ancient Continent and the secular world would also become blurred.

Next, if the spiritualists of the Ancient Continent found out about the existence of the secular world, he wouldn't be able to live in peace even if he wanted to.

After all, few spiritualists could resist the temptation of this world's spiritual sources.

Long Aoyun had also noticed this, which was why he chose to head to the Ancient Continent together with him.

Hongtian puffed on his cigarette, a trace of leisure showing in his single eye, and said, "To be honest, I always feel that the so-called gods of your world are somewhat familiar."

Back then, when An Yi was in the Hongtian Secret Realm, there was that guy with three eyes on his forehead in the illusion he experienced.

When it was spying on him back then, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"You know them?"

An Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Hongtian blew a smoke ring. "It's hard to say."
