Chapter 245: Chapter 244: Act First, Think Later
Beast King City, the entrance of a large hotel.
Niu Qi, with a simple smile, welcomed the Bull-men in one by one, and they approached to offer their congratulations.
“Niu Qi, congratulations!”
“Who’s the king this time?”
“It’s a kid named Bull Demon King.”
“Bull Demon King? What a fitting name; he was definitely born to be a king.”
“Exactly! I heard that the Bull Demon King was captured by humans as a child and made it back with incredible willpower.”
“Not just that! I heard that the humans gave him a makeover, turning him into a pretty boy.”
“Oh dear, that’s just tragic! Isn’t that ruining his face?”
“Exactly, look at him now, he’s drinking by himself.”
“This is what you call being tested by fire, it seems our Bull-man Clan has finally welcomed a born leader.”
“Yes, yes, yes, a born leader!!”
“…..”
At this moment, Wang Hao was sitting in the hotel looking gloomy, he hadn’t expected that becoming the king of the Bull-men would be so easy.
What surprised him even more was that after he became the true Bull King, Niu Qi had actually thrown a big feast, inviting the older generation of Bull-men, those Martial Kings of Bull-men, to celebrate.
But the banquet wasn’t held to celebrate his ascension to kingship, but rather for Niu Qi to celebrate stepping down from being the king of the Bull-men—the irony of it all!
At the same time, Wang Hao also figured out why each Bull-man didn’t want to be the king.
According to Niu Qi, the king of the Bull-men is the supreme leader of Bull City, and though he doesn’t need to have powerful Cultivation, he needs to manage the livelihood of over a million Bull-men.
Since Bull-men are naturally not very bright, managing them isn’t just unprofitable, but they are also susceptible to being manipulated by other Half-Beasts, even Bull King Niu Qi had to work as a bodyguard to earn money, showing just how dire the Bull-man clan’s situation was.
However, Wang Hao felt that the food problem was only a part of the issue, bearing in mind that a large portion of the population consisted of adult Bull-men.
Given the hardworking nature of the Bull-men, even if they didn’t earn much, surviving wasn’t an issue.
The primary reason the Bull-men didn’t want to be king was that they all knew they weren’t very smart and worried about being tricked by other Half-Beasts, leading their whole clan to suffer. Even if their clansmen didn’t blame him, the guilt alone could torture a simple Bull-man to the point of despair.
Thus, this resulted in a fear of kingship among the Bull-men.
According to Niu Qi, he had been given his position as king as a ‘gift’ when he was young and naive by the previous Bull-man king.
“Ah, to think such peculiar races exist in the Universe, it truly is vast and unpredictable!” Wang Hao sighed. He had thought he could lead the Bull-men to great deeds, but ended up being a caretaker to a million Bull-men, a truly big pitfall!
“Congratulations, Bull Demon King, for becoming our king of the Bull-men,” a Martial King Bull-man raised his glass to Wang Hao.
Hearing this, the Bull-men present all stood up and toasted Wang Hao.
Wang Hao, with a serious face, held up his glass and asked, “I just want to ask one thing, now that I’m the king, can I make the final decisions without any opposition?”
“Yes!”
The Bull-men present didn’t hesitate and firmly gave Wang Hao their answer.
Wang Hao nodded, satisfied, then continued, “Then, if I command everyone to attack the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan, would you dare?”
“Dare!!”
The Bull-man present still didn’t hesitate and told Wang Hao the answer.
Wang Hao was somewhat surprised. Had these Bull-men agreed so readily?
Niu Qi said solemnly, “Since you are our king, your word is King’s Order. Every Bull-man will obey, even if there are mountains of blades and seas of flames ahead. We believe our king must have his plans.”
Wang Hao rolled his eyes. The speech was quite inspiring, quite moving. But on closer inspection, these guys must be thinking about using brawn over brains, right?
“Alright, since all of you have spoken, I promise to lead everyone to prosperity and make you all into happy, rolling ‘bull babies'” Wang Hao finished the wine in his cup in one gulp.
“Good, good, good!!”
The Bull-men also heartily finished their drinks and then ignored Wang Hao, starting to focus on eating.
Niu Qi tugged at Wang Hao, curiously asking, “Why become rolling ‘bull babies’ after becoming rich?”
Wang Hao glanced at Niu Qi, “Get lost!”
“What does that mean!?” Niu Qi scratched his head.
“It means, stay away from me.” Wang Hao rolled his eyes, feeling that if he stayed any longer with this bunch of silly bulls, this big villain would prematurely turn into a stressed young man with white hair.
So when his Golden Bone was established, he would definitely have to stay away from these foolish bulls.
“Oh!” Niu Qi nodded, then picked up his plate, walked to the side, and squatted on the ground to eat.
Wang Hao’s eyelids twitched, unable to describe his feelings in words.
…
On Beast King Star, in the middle of a forest.
Qiu Lei and the others were sitting around the wreckage of the Black Dragon, with Lingling trying to fix it. But because the damage was too extensive, it couldn’t be fixed, and they could only salvage some useful parts.
“Whoosh whoosh…”
A breaking wind sound arose, and everyone present immediately became alert.
When they saw it was Bai Bian, they finally relaxed.
“Bai Bian, how is it? Did you find Wang Hao!?” Qiu Lei asked rapidly.
Bai Bian nodded, then sighed bitterly, “Found Wang Hao, but he is now in Beast King City.”
“Beast King City!” Everyone’s faces changed instantly.
Qiu Lei’s expression turned serious, “Was he captured? It looks like we need to plan how to rescue him.”
Bai Bian shook his head, still smiling bitterly, “Wang Hao wasn’t captured and taken to Beast King City. He walked in confidently on his own, and moreover, he is doing far better than you can imagine.”
“Walked in confidently!?” Ling Xiao froze, unable to understand how the Half-Beasts let a human walk confidently into Beast King City.
“Doing better than we can imagine!?” Xia Weiwei tilted her head, pondering what that level of success could be.
“He didn’t become a Half-Beast, did he!?” Le Xuan pondered. It seemed Wang Hao’s transformation Skill was indeed powerful, turning into a Half-Beast wasn’t impossible.
Bai Bian nodded, then shook his head, “He turned into a Half-Beast, but just grew a pair of small cow horns. He called himself a Bull-man, but those Bull-men didn’t doubt him and even made him their king. That is to say, Wang Hao now commands a million Bull-men.”
As his words fell, everyone present was dumbstruck, their minds blank. Was this not a joke?
They had not been on Beast King Star for even twelve hours, yet Wang Hao had not only infiltrated the Half-Beasts, he could freely roam the Beast King Star. He had even become the king of a tribe. Not even fairy tales dared to write like this!
However, knowing Wang Hao, with a million Bull-men in his hands, chaos on Beast King Star was probably not far off…
