Chapter 160: Do Not Mess with Brother Kun

The Silver Ancient Steed and the Blazing Flame Spider possessed conflicting attributes of ice and fire, truly incompatible as they bickered upon sight, and even right before his very eyes, while the Profound Emperor Ant acted as the peacemaker. The three fierce beasts did not seem fierce at all, and upon closer inspection, all those eyes were actually rather adorable.

The Silver Ancient Steed even put on a cold and aloof front.

Yet, they were completely underestimating him, Your Bro Kun! Had they not seen that he was fully geared up and waiting for them to walk right into his trap?

"Little Steed, Sister Spider, and Brother Ant, would you mind looking at me properly? I feel quite awkward with you acting like this."

The three spirit beasts trembled all over and collectively turned their gazes toward Bro Kun.

Yekun was exceptionally cooperative, reaching out to pat the Beast-King Armor. See that? Weren't they terrified?

Then, he shook the weapon at his waist, asking if they were scared yet.

He even gave the Peerless Twin Swords a flourish. Bro Kun was quite satisfied with this invisible display of superiority.

"Little Steed, Sister Spider, could this fellow perhaps be a fool?"

Yekun was instantly dumbfounded. That remark was a massive blow to his dignity.

The Blazing Flame Spider said with a serious expression, "No one has set foot in here for nearly a thousand years. Have people on the outside degenerated this much?"

"That's a fair point." The Little Steed actually rubbed its chin with its hoof, a thoroughly comical gesture.

How could Yekun endure this? He pointed at the Beast-King Armor and declared, "This is the Beast-King Armor! Even true fierce beasts would have to submit upon seeing it!"

The three spirit beasts wore blank expressions for a moment before bursting into raucous laughter. The Little Steed even began rolling around on the tree roots, looking remarkably like a mischievous hound.

"You human are quite interesting, actually bringing us so much amusement," Sister Spider chuckled as she gazed at Yekun.

Yekun was puzzled. "Aren't you afraid of this Beast-King Armor?"

"Take it off and put it on the ground," the Profound Emperor Ant laughed. Being able to crack up three powerful spirit beasts was a talent in its own right.

Yekun placed it directly on the ground.

The Profound Emperor Ant gave it a single poke.

The Beast-King Armor instantly transformed into a Beast-King Pancake, and an extremely thin one at that.

"It looks convincing, but sadly it's a fake," the Profound Emperor Ant said dismissively.

Yekun stared at the Beast-King Pancake before him, feeling utterly wretched. This was something his dear old dad had given him!

"Your old man sure gave you a lot of counterfeit goods."

"Indeed, indeed, that fire-spear is fake."

"And the weapon that just poked my fur is fake, too."

"That arrow is fake as well."

"Even the twin swords in your hands are fakes."

Listening to the spirit beasts, Yekun's face burned with embarrassment, because all of these were gifts from his father...

Good grief, could it be? Was his father a collector of counterfeit goods?!

No wonder his mother's reaction was so intense when she heard his father had spent a fortune auctioning off a sword hilt. It seemed that apart from that divine sword, everything else his father owned was fake!

Everything his mother gave him was genuine. Could they actually tell who gifted an item just by looking at it?

His father was utterly unreliable! Thank goodness he hadn't been exposed up there, or the King of Handsome Faces would have instantly become the King of Awkwardness.

"Indeed, to be able to tell the true from the false among my belongings—you truly live up to your reputations as spirit beasts!" Bro Kun had always been quick-witted, turning awkwardness into a turning point.

Sister Spider nudged the Little Steed and smiled, "Look at that. The kid got caught, so he started changing the subject. Quite a sly one."

The Little Steed nudged Sister Spider back. "That's called changing the subject with both grace and courtesy."

"Hahaha!" The three spirit beasts burst into loud laughter once more.

Yekun's expression was precisely this: (￣ェ￣;)

Fortunately, that water orb had shattered. Otherwise, wouldn't his father have died of embarrassment outside?

And upon returning, he would surely suffer a severe thrashing from his mother for buying nothing but fakes.

"You're spirit beasts, after all. Can't you be a bit more serious? I don't even know whether I should be terrified or laughing." Yekun rolled his eyes internally. Just how bored were they to laugh at Bro Kun's jokes? Weren't they afraid of divine retribution?

"The young man makes a fair point. We probably ought to be a bit fiercer," the Profound Emperor Ant said, holding back a chuckle.

In an instant, the expressions of the three spirit beasts transformed, once again filled with cruelty and bloodthirst. A terrifying atmosphere descended immediately.

"Hahaha, no, I can't do it, I can't keep up the act, let me laugh for a bit," the Little Steed was the first to break character.

"Idiot," Sister Spider shot the Little Steed a sideways glance.

"Hahaha, I am an idiot, hahaha."

Yekun was suddenly stunned. In such a terrifying and spooky atmosphere, logically speaking, one shouldn't laugh, but Bro Kun simply couldn't hold it in.

"Hahaha!" Yekun nearly doubled over with laughter. That line about being an idiot was absolute classic material.

Amidst his loud laughter, Yekun suddenly sensed a strange stillness. Looking ahead, he discovered a terrifying head staring directly at him.

"Is it that funny?" the Silver Ancient Steed asked coldly.

Yekun was bewildered. Wasn't you the one who started laughing first...?

"Did you think we were just playing games with you?" Flames surged into the sky around Sister Spider's entire body.

Yekun stood up, his expression turning solemn. It seemed they had merely been bored and teasing him earlier—now the real fight was beginning!

Just then, Sister Spider abruptly changed her tone, "That's right, we were just playing with you! Hahaha, look, he's getting nervous again."

"This bald guy is too hilarious, he's laughing my head off!" The Little Steed watched Yekun's darkened face and roared with laughter.

Yekun asked indifferently, "What did you just call me?"

"Little bald guy, hahaha... shiny and bright like a—"

Before the Little Steed could finish its sentence, its massive body went flying backward, vanishing instantly into the darkness.

Yekun raised his right fist and calmly said, "I originally intended to keep a low profile and play along with you, but all I got in return was mockery. I'm not hiding it anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table: I am invincible."

Sister Spider and the Ant Brother had no idea what had just happened. All they saw was the little bald guy raise his hand, throw a single punch, and send the Little Steed flying.

Was the Little Steed just messing around or what?!

"Go check on him," Sister Spider instructed, unsure of the situation and needing the Ant Brother to verify if the Little Steed was just playing games.

The Ant Brother scurried over to check on the Little Steed, and before long, its panicked voice rang out, "Sister Spider! The Little Steed has been knocked out cold! It's real, three of its teeth got knocked clean out..."

Hearing this, Sister Spider erupted in blazing flames, directly engulfing Bro Kun within them.

Years ago, Bro Kun had roasted his own arm. Although the properties of this fire were different, the end result would be identical.

Under the scorching heat, all the counterfeit gear on Yekun's body instantly melted away. Sure enough, everything his father gave him was fake, while everything his mother gave him was real!

"If this is the extent of your abilities, then I'm sorry!" Yekun declared coldly.

Sister Spider leaped backward abruptly and shouted in a deep voice, "Who on earth are you?!"

Yekun did not answer. Instead, he calmly replied, "You were trying every possible way to eliminate that water orb's surveillance, and wasn't I doing the same? Though you actually did me a huge favor. Originally, sharing a laugh made for a pleasant atmosphere, but you can joke about anything except one thing—never, ever talk about me lacking hair!"

"Are you sent by Yuan Hao?!" Sister Spider demanded grimly, every hair on her body standing on end like sharp silver needles.

"Who is Yuan Hao?" Yekun asked, puzzled.
