Endless Throne - Chapter 34

Those cold yet seductive eyes—needless to say, it could only be Ergou. The other dog heads were at inconvenient angles and didn’t come closer, so only one husky head was visible.

“Why did you come over when it’s raining?”

Lin Yebai opened the balcony door. Ergou, drenched from head to toe, climbed onto the balcony and carefully squeezed through the door. All three heads made it through, and it seemed like it should pass smoothly, but its rear end got stuck.

Ergou’s dignified expression became slightly tense.

It wiggled its rear end left and right, finally stretching the door frame wider.

[The Ordinary Me]: Oh my God, that rear end is so plump and beautiful!

[Class Representative]: I don’t know why, but I always look at Brother Ordinary with colored glasses

Everyone in the room hesitated to speak. Zhou Yuan hurriedly asked:

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong!”

“Did Sadako crawl out of the TV?”

“No, Lord Ergou has arrived.” Coach Wang always maintained a sense of respect for Ergou. It had accomplished many things that humans couldn’t do.

As soon as Ergou entered, the originally not-so-spacious living room instantly became crowded.

It had originally planned to shake off the rainwater, but seeing that everyone else was injured with blood seeping through their bandages, Ergou restrained itself.

In the past, it loved swimming in the lake and would deliberately approach its owner to shake its fur vigorously.

It had personally witnessed another husky do this, and the dog owner immediately took off a size 45 slipper and gave the husky’s rear end a good beating.

Its own owner would gently wipe the water mist from his glasses, lightly pat its head with indulgence, helplessness, and a hint of reproach, smile and say “you little rascal,” with no further consequences.

The husky nearby was so envious that it was practically drooling, insisting on following behind Ergou’s rear end all the way home. Only when that owner took off his size 45 slipper again did it obediently stop.

Thinking of this, Ergou was clearly smiling, yet its mood dropped.

The old hen hurriedly found a blanket from the room and presented it to Ergou with utmost courtesy, using its wings to help dry its fur.

Lin Yebai had just used the hair dryer and plugged it back in to help dry Ergou’s fur.

The rain was too heavy. Every time lightning flashed, Ergou would shrink a little. When thunder roared, Ergou would shudder violently, its ears drooping slightly, though its expression remained serious, not wanting to expose its weakness.

Anyone with eyes could tell that Ergou was afraid of thunder.

They couldn’t help but think to themselves that even the five or six-meter-long Ergou was afraid of thunder—what an adorable little doggy.

Lin Yebai slowly dried Ergou’s fur while occasionally glancing at the movie projected by the projector.

Ergou hadn’t been paying attention to the movie content initially, but to distract itself, it gradually began watching.

When the female ghost appeared, a dog’s howl suddenly rang out in the room:

“Awoooooo…”

The others weren’t startled by the ghost but were instead startled by Ergou’s howl.

Ergou knew this was bad—its image as the second brother was severely affected. It pretended nothing had happened. Would the others mention it? Indeed, no one did. Everyone remained quiet, knowing to protect Ergou’s dignity.

The movie continued playing. Ergou was a bit afraid to watch, but thinking there were so many people here for mutual support, and being curious about what would happen next, its gaze moved back to the wall.

Coach Wang and the spider cubs had poor eyesight and could only watch for the excitement. Xiahou Yun needn’t be mentioned—having dealt with corpses for years and spending so much time in the laboratory, he had developed a strange, eerie aura. Sometimes at first glance, he didn’t quite look like a living thing.

The kid Wang Zherongyao had received a huge shock today, and now in this safe environment, he had already fallen asleep. Lin Yebai was just watching for novelty and wasn’t really scared. The only one truly frightened was probably Ergou alone—no wait, there was also the trembling old hen.

[Wang Goudan]: I don’t know why, but watching movies in the livestream, I’m actually enjoying it thoroughly

[Great Emperor Huaji]: Who says otherwise?

Lin Yebai suddenly felt like he was being watched and looked toward the window again. This time it was a pair of golden eyes.

“Awoooooo…” Ergou followed Lin Yebai’s gaze and was also startled.

Over there it was pitch black with only a pair of eyes visible—quite frightening in this situation.

“It’s here.” Lin Yebai opened the window, and the golden-eyed crow flew in, its feathers soaked by rainwater, looking rather disheveled.

“Caw!”

The golden-eyed crow shook its feathers and gestured for Lin Yebai to look outside.

An exceptionally strong black crow was carrying a heavy burlap sack in its claws, finally placing it on the balcony.

“Caw caw caw—” The golden-eyed crow called several times, and the large crow flapped its wings and flew away.

Lin Yebai looked at the golden-eyed crow, whose feathers were still somewhat damp, and used the hair dryer to blow on it a few times.

Ergou immediately felt a bit jealous. Thinking carefully, with its huge body, Lin Yebai couldn’t possibly dry it completely anyway, so it decided to handle it himself. The magma rolled within its body, and the fur outside was quickly steamed dry, filling the room with misty vapor.

Ergou was quite particular. It had probably been in the rain for a while and was washed clean. Except for some bald patches, it looked particularly magnificent.

“Boss Crow is here too?” Zhou Yuan heard the familiar crow sounds and felt relieved.

What a wonderful night indeed.

“Caw.”

The golden-eyed crow responded and perched on Lin Yebai’s shoulder, also turning its attention to the wall.

Finally, “The Ring” finished playing, and Xiahou Yun clicked on the next horror film, “The Grudge.”

Lin Yebai dragged the sack inside and placed it in a corner of the living room. It was heavy, and with a casual glance, he saw it was full of blood beads, immediately feeling satisfied.

Later, everyone in the living room except Xiahou Yun fell asleep. Lin Yebai took his knife back to the bedroom, the golden-eyed crow followed him in, and Ergou measured the door frame before finally lying down on the living room carpet in an alluring sleeping position.

After Lin Yebai lay down, the golden-eyed crow slept on another pillow, even tucking itself under the blanket, completely mimicking Lin Yebai’s movements.

Lin Yebai was worried it might defecate on the bed. The golden-eyed crow seemed to sense Lin Yebai’s thoughts, its eyes proud with a hint of embarrassment.

“Caw.” The golden-eyed crow called once, wanting to say it was a mature bird that wouldn’t relieve itself anywhere, but unable to speak, it could only hint with its eyes.

For the sake of a sack full of blood beads, Lin Yebai let it slide. He was so unguarded because this crow gave him a feeling that he could rely on it with peace of mind.

[Soft Cat Ears]: Making itself at home, this little vixen

[Fu Luo Bei]: This bird looks honest and straightforward, but it has quite a few schemes

[I Totally Ship This On The Spot]: Sharing the same bed, wuuuuu

The night was exceptionally long, with violent storms and frequent building collapses. There wasn’t a moment of quiet outside, yet in such a noisy environment, Lin Yebai slept peacefully.

When he awoke, he was sitting on the bone throne. Above his head, besides a blood moon, there were several bright stars. His long hair appeared silver-white under the moonlight, with a clear, lustrous radiance that was extremely magnificent. His features were somewhat blurred by the moonlight, only revealing an absolutely peerless temperament.

A black crow perched on his right shoulder. Even with its eyes closed, not revealing its characteristic golden pupils, it was clearly the same one from the bed. Lin Yebai tried to rise from the throne—not to abandon his authority, but to take this opportunity to explore the dream world.

He first examined the giant beast corpse closest to the throne. It was similar to Old Wang’s lower half—an eight-legged spider with interwoven black and white stripes, fierce and menacing.

The spider body was torn in half. A crystal-clear blood bead with restrained brilliance had extraordinary quality, far surpassing mid-level aberrants. This dead giant spider should be a higher-tier aberrant.

Below the throne lay countless corpses. A terrifying battle must have taken place here. Just seeing the remaining bodies, one could imagine the intensity of the battle.

Lin Yebai wanted to walk to more distant places, but his form became ethereal. He could only pick up the blood bead from the black and white eight-legged spider. When he woke up in the bedroom, Lin Yebai was indeed holding that blood bead—heavy and containing dense blood qi, but not suitable for his absorption.

This blood bead contained the spider’s inheritance. After absorption, one’s form would change.

It seemed naturally prepared for Old Wang, who indeed needed some means to subdue enemies. Relying on spider silk alone was still too weak.

That should be a real world, perhaps the abyss world that the livestream audience mentioned. What exactly had happened? Why were there corpses everywhere?

If there was another chance to go there in the future, he could bring some blood beads out for others.

“Caw…” The golden-eyed crow seemed to remember what happened last night, looking at Lin Yebai with increasingly bright and fervent eyes.

“Is that the abyss?” Lin Yebai asked.

The golden-eyed crow hesitated for a while, first nodding, then shaking its head.

Lin Yebai really wanted to teach the bird to read and speak, but on second thought, he decided against it.

Everyone had absorbed sufficient blood beads and no longer needed to eat. They were all feeling lazy and didn’t wake up until the afternoon of the second day.

When Lin Fugui, transformed into a small bat, flew in, he happened to encounter the new crow in the house. With one claw swipe, both wings of the small bat fell off.

“This…” Lin Fugui hadn’t expected such a disaster to occur—truly defeated before even beginning his mission.

He could only feel grateful in his heart that fortunately this crow didn’t have the habit of directly grabbing and breaking heads.

“Two dear younger brothers, are you ready to go to the meeting?”

“If you’re prepared, I’ll arrange for someone to come pick you up with a special car.”

“Good.” Although Xiahou Yun looked at the small bat kindly, Lin Fugui was still a bit afraid. Those research materials about aberrants were all summarized by Xiahou Yun through repeatedly dissecting and studying those aberrants who had lost their reason.

“But you’ve lost both wings, how will you fly back to make arrangements?”

“Remote control. Since we’re all in the same city now, the distance isn’t far. What happens here can be quickly known over there.” Lin Fugui hadn’t planned to expose this so quickly, but on second thought, exposure wasn’t bad either. This would better suit his noble status as the eldest brother and could intimidate others with different agendas.

This was quite a powerful ability, equivalent to a biological surveillance device that could not only transmit images but also sound—extremely useful.

Lin Fugui noticed everyone had fallen silent, thinking they were all awed by his powerful ability. He felt somewhat proud and longed to hear some praise.

“Then in the future, wouldn’t you be able to peep at anyone taking a bath if you wanted to, and they wouldn’t even notice?” Zhou Yuan broke the awkward silence, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

What he said made sense—after all, who would notice a tiny bat?

Lin Yebai thought to himself that the difficulty of obtaining Lin Fugui’s dog head had increased!

“I’m not the kind of person obsessed with lust, how could I peep at others bathing?” Lin Fugui was instantly led off topic. Mainly because the expressions of others in the room were too weird—like that eight-legged spider tough guy actually showing a shy yet guarded expression. Who would peep at him bathing? How depraved!

“You know a person’s face but not their heart… Since you say you haven’t peeped, then you haven’t peeped.” Zhou Yuan sighed. It was clearly an affirmation, yet it instantly made Lin Fugui seem like a perverted person who spied on others bathing.
