Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 300 - 301: The Dog Rides the Sedan Chair

Wang Cai glanced at Mu Can, his brows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

"Lord Dog, please don’t kill me. I’ve been so cooperative; please spare me," the Drunkard sensed a faint trace of murderous intent from Wang Cai and knew Wang Cai harbored thoughts of killing him, he quickly begged for mercy.

To be able to make the suave and free spirited Drunkard, who carried a jug of wine as he roamed the world, submit under Wang Cai’s tyranny.

Mu Can had no doubts about this, on their journey together, among all the enemies they met, whether they were from the Supreme Interface, Demon World, Immortal World, or Mortal World, it seemed that aside from Mu Can himself, no one could get the better of Wang Cai.

This dog kept a low profile; Mu Can knew that he only had the upper hand in terms of status, otherwise, he would have fared no better than the rest, unable to gain any advantage over Wang Cai.

"Woof! Call all your lackeys over," said Wang Cai as his eyes shifted, an idea forming in his mind.

"Come over here, now!" Being respectful to Wang Cai didn’t mean the Drunkard had to show the same courtesy to those around him.

Having been so miserably beaten by a dog, the Drunkard was already feeling humiliated. Now, this embarrassing scene had been witnessed by everyone; he had no doubt that if they could make it out alive, the story of him being beaten by a dog would wildly spread across the entire Sect, leaving him utterly disgraced.

"Yes, Brother Drunkard."

A few lackeys came over tremblingly; they had seen firsthand just how powerful Wang Cai was. Even their strongest, the Drunkard, couldn’t handle Wang Cai, so how could these small fries dare to step forward?

"What’s your name?" Wang Cai raised a big black paw and pointed at Wang Yu, asking.

He knew that it was this guy who had been the loudest just now. Now it was time to start with him.

Wang Yu glanced at the Drunkard, saw his swollen face like a pig’s head, shrank his neck, kept his head down, and did not dare to speak.

Now he was truly afraid, afraid that this robust dog, strong as a calf, would give him a slap should it get angry. He didn’t have the Drunkard’s skills, and one slap might very well slap him to death.

"Woof! I’m talking to you," seeing the frightened look on Wang Yu, Wang Cai felt a wave of disgust. Just now, relying on the Drunkard’s presence, he acted tough, and now with the Drunkard taken care of, he shrank his neck like a grandson.

It seems that not only can dogs rely on their masters, but sometimes people also rely on others’ power.

"Speak up, Lord Dog is asking you," seeing Wang Yu’s demeanor, the Drunkard couldn’t contain his anger. Is this doggy grandpa someone you can provoke? If you make him angry, my little life won’t be spared.

Although the Drunkard’s current apologetic form would look miserable to others, for Wang Yu, he still possessed a daunting presence, and Wang Yu stole a cautious glance at the Drunkard.

"My name is Wang Yu."

"Weren’t you very impressive just now? What’s with the cowardice? Is there anyone else who wants to eat dog meat?"

Wang Cai surveyed the circle of people around him. After seeing Wang Cai’s look, everyone lowered their heads, none daring to meet his gaze, fearing that if they inadvertently angered Wang Cai, they would be turned into a swollen pig’s head like the Drunkard, or even worse, lose their lives here.

"You lot, I have a task now. If you accomplish it, I won’t kill you until you leave this place. Otherwise, you can all die right now. You can choose between death and listening to my task."

Wang Cai opened his mouth widely, believing himself to have a very cute look, but to other people, it was nothing short of terrifying. They all feared that Wang Cai would pounce on them and bite their necks off.

"We choose to accept your task."

Several people promptly made their choice; no one would directly choose death, after all. Thus, it can be said that the options Wang Cai provided them left no room for choice.

"Good! Woof woof! You’re going to build me a sedan chair. The lot of you will carry me. Otherwise, it would be too cheap to let you off so easily." Wang Cai was quite pleased with his decision, his face beaming with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the group felt relieved, afraid that Wang Cai would make some demanding requests. After all, serving as a sedan chair carrier for a dog that could easily defeat Martial Arts Sect’s drunk wasn’t so bad. Being at least an Intermediate Martial Saint in strength, carrying a sedan for such a powerful figure was not a humiliation. At least it didn’t involve facing death.

"What about me?" The drunk from the Martial Arts Sect asked Wang Cai with a swelled face like a pig’s.

He was full of regret now, wondering why he had to provoke Wang Cai in the first place. Now look what had happened, he’d gotten himself into the mess of becoming a dog’s sedan chair carrier.

"You? You will guide us in front. Wang Cai wants to find opportunities within the Secret Realm."

When there are more hands, work gets done faster. In just a moment, a simple sedan chair appeared before everyone’s eyes.

A dog sat majestically atop the sedan, with those underneath carrying it, while the drunk took the role of leading the way.

Sitting in the sedan, Wang Cai portrayed a lofty and proud appearance, causing Mu Can to shake his head in secret.

The phrase "acting human" was really apt to describe Wang Cai at that moment.

Wang Cai even propped up his legs in a relaxed manner, motioning Mu Can to come up and sit with him.

Mu Can politely declined. If he really sat in the sedan with Wang Cai, he’d be notorious in no time.

Indeed, it wasn’t long after setting off that they encountered a few people.

"Hey hey hey, what’s that? Damn, am I seeing this right? That’s a dog sitting in a sedan chair."

The people who saw Wang Cai sitting in the sedan chair like a human were surprised and found it amusing.

They felt even more sympathy for those carrying the sedan chair.

"Hey, buddy, why are you parading your master around?"

The drunk was at the very front. Whether from fear of embarrassment or something else, he hid his true power, only revealing the strength of a Martial Arts Sect member, making him seem quite unremarkable.

"Get lost!" The drunk had been irritated throughout the journey, not only because he was forced to lead the way by Wang Cai, but also because his most treasured possession had been destroyed by Wang Cai. Now, seeing others heading straight into trouble, he immediately exploded.

"Oi, not very strong but with quite the temper, what are you strutting about here for, being merely a Basic Level Martial Saint?"

...

A short while later, apart from the drunk leading the way, the group of his fellow Martial Arts Sect members carrying the sedan, Wang Cai had a few more sullen followers – additional sedan carriers he had recruited.

It was a shift system, fair and square.
