And she had downplayed the entire process of how she'd dealt with that black dragon with a single direct blow to its big dragon head.
She made it look so simple, brutal, ferocious!
That... that black dragon. It was such a terrifying creature that was capable of destroying this world. But it actually had its head blown up in a matter of seconds. It didn't even have time to utter the word "crap." The villains always died because they talked too much, didn't they? Yet, this black dragon villain hadn't even had time to utter a single cruel word, let alone talk too much, before it'd been sent to meet its doom.
Kong Hou and Dong Xiao were still trembling and shivering in the same spot as before, unable to believe their eyes.
Tian Miao was already idly strolling ahead of them. With a wave of her hand, everything was revived. The balance of yin and yang was restored, and countless innocent souls who'd suffered wrongful deaths were brought back to life.
The resurrection of the dead was accomplished with just a simple wave of the hand.
Seeing a scene like this almost shocked the life out of Kong Hou and Dong Xiao. How could someone with a supernatural power like this be just an ordinary master?
What was their boss's true identity?
They really wanted to know, but they didn't dare ask.
There was this one time that Kong Hou finally hadn't been able to hold herself back. She had mustered all her courage and asked very carefully, "Boss, we're all very curious about this and would like to know. Exactly what is your true identity?"
Their boss frowned slightly, then smiled and pointed her finger at the heavens above their heads.
Kong Hou was confused and looked up at the sky and wondered, "What's up in the sky?"
"The Heavenly Way!" Dong Xiao whispered in astonishment.
Kong Hou froze.
What did she mean?
"My father." Tian Miao let out a sigh and said with a voice full of frustration, "Why do you think I run around to so many different worlds all the time? It's all for the sake of my father."
After saying this, Tiao Miao tried a small piece of milk biscuit that Dong Xiao had just baked for her, and then she went upstairs making clatter-crack-clatter-crack sounds as she bit and chewed. Halfway up the stairs, she turned around to face the two people who'd been petrified and said, "Dong Xiao, bring me the rest of the biscuits and some tea quickly. For every slow step you take, I'll pluck one feather off of you."
Kong Hou and Dong Xiao hadn't yet returned to their senses after hearing such a huge piece of information. The two of them merely looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Boss, their boss, she was…
The daughter of Heaven himself?!!
So their boss's last name was really Tian, and Tian Miao wasn't just an alias that she went by??
The Darling of Heaven!
Of course everything in the world was like ants to their boss!
"Aye, Boss! I'll bring you something to eat and drink right away." Dong Xiao was the first to snap back to his senses and hurriedly ran to the kitchen. It was as if he'd stepped onto two wind-and-fire wheels beneath his pair of legs, only it was missing the part where his quick movements would cause smoke and dust to rise in the air. He was already internally howling to the heavens above, "Master is the darling of heaven. Oh my god, ah-ah-ah-ah. My master is so powerful. Hahahaha, I don't ever have to worry about that matter of mine anymore."
Tian Miao didn't like them addressing her as their master, so she made them call her Boss; but in both Kong Hou and Dong Xiao's hearts, Tian Miao was their master through and through.
Kong Hou was still frozen in place. This child was a little slow to react and respond. When she finally came to her senses, she found that Dong Xiao was already stomping up the stairs with a thump-thump-thump as he carried a tray in his hands.
Then she started jumping up and down, hopping about in place.
She was going to see to it that she'd be like that pendant that the Darling of Heaven wore on her thigh. No one would ever dream of tearing her off of her master's thigh. No one at all! Dream on! No way!
She thought about how the two of them had been so ambitious before, and how the two of them had wanted to protect their master with all their might in order to repay her for saving their lives. Now that she thought about it, their master probably felt that they were being really silly, right?
Mmm, silly. So be it. Other people weren't lucky enough to be silly like them.
It was also a unique kind of blessing to be someone silly and yet be able to keep by their master's side all the time!
"Stop standing there with that silly laughter and hurry and go boil some water," Dong Xiao's voice sounded from a distance.
"Coming, coming." With a little hop, Kong Hou wasted no time in running to the kitchen. Inside, she was extremely excited as she looked forward to their next trip out. She was really looking forward to their next light seizing and shadow chasing mission.
