Chapter 246: The God Of Cliches

"How were we supposed to know that you were hunting here? We are just here to complete our mission and go back peacefully to our sect. We only require five of those chickens and then you can keep hunting them." Kai said while pointing at the birds who were at least a good kilometer away. The man in the sky blue robes snorted when he heard Kai's words.

"You think that you can kill those birds without along ranged weapons. Judging from how you are behaving, you probably have a low cultivation so it's better that you pack your bags and go back to your petty sect." Valeus said as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"Why would I need long-range weapons when I can do this?" Kai asked as he rose his hand in the air and five water chickens rose in the air with his hand. They bellowed in terror as Kai kept lifting his hand higher.

But he stopped raising his hands after a few seconds as the birds were now hanging tens of feet above the ground.

Kai swiped his hand down as all the birds fell down at once and their necks were snapped. The trio was left staring at the birds in awe as they then shifted their gaze towards Kai.

"You…" Valeus began to say but was at a loss of words as the woman from the bath suddenly descended down beside them. She was wearing the same sky-blue robes Valeus was wearing.

"What is happening here?" She asked with a confused look as Valeus gritted his teeth.

"Nothing worth mentioning and why do you want to know it anyway" Valeus asked with a snort as the woman frowned.

"I am your fiancé Valeus." The woman replied as Valeus snorted again.

"If not for your powers, you will be sitting around on the streets and begging for money. I wonder why father even made me your fiancé. But I guess it might be because of…" Valeus began and stopped as he looked at the woman's body with a smile.

"Are you gonna let him keep disrespecting you?" Kai suddenly asked as the three girls looked confused.

"Do you have a problem with this?" Valeus asked as Kai nodded.

"Of course I have a problem. You are disrespecting such a beautiful woman who is apparently your fiancé. I can't stay quiet and let you say that." Kai replied as the three girls were even more confused.

[ I didn't know that Kai felt like that about just any woman he met. ] Mariel said to the two other girls through a spiritual message as they shook their heads indicating that they didn't know about this too.

'What did I just say?' Kai on the other hand was also confused about his words since this never happened.

"Take those words back you fool or I will kill you." Valeus replied while clenching his fist as a random no one was disrespecting him.

As for the woman, she narrowed her eyes as she looked at Kai with surprise.

'Why does he look like that man from my imagination? He even has a group of women with him. Could it be that they were peeking at me?' She wondered as Kai didn't reply to Valeus's question since he was busy thinking about what he had said.

"Just as I expected, you are terrified of me, aren't you? I might just forgive you if one of these ladies stays behind here while you go back. What do you say?" Valeus asked as Kai's eyes turned cold.

"You are courting death." He replied and frowned as silence hung in the air.

He had just spoken the most overused line ever without even thinking about it. This made him wonder if he was stuck in a really bad dream, a really bad… cliché dream.

Just as the thought entered his mind, he understood what was happening. He raised his head towards the sky with a twitching cheek as his eyes started glowing.

"Is it that fun to trap me in a cliché? Answer me God of clichés?!" Kia shouted as nothing happened for a few minutes and the blue robes-wearing people started wondering whether Kai had gone mad.

But a few seconds later, the people in the blue robes suddenly vanished into thin air. With a bright flash of light, a figure descended from the sky and landed beside Kai.

The figure was a male with shiny brown hair and gray eyes. The figure looked like a ten-year-old with an easy go happy personality and was wearing an intricate patterned white robe.

"You figured it out too early on. I shouldn't have added the 'you are courting death' line." The boy said with a tch as Kai rolled his eyes.

"Um, who are you?" Mariel asked curiously as the boy looked baffled.

"You don't know who this great sire is? How dare you say that?!" The boy asked as Mariel looked confused.

"Why are you speaking like that?" Mariel asked in an even more confused voice as Kai sighed.

"It's cause he is the god of clichés. Don't be fooled by his child-like appearance. He is quite an old person and unfortunately my friend." Kai sighed as the young kid looked even more baffled.

"What are you saying that like a drag. Do you know how many people will be ready to take lives if it meant that they would get to spend an hour with me?" The boy said as Kai raised his eyes.

"They will do that so that you can give them a cliché that they desire. And the thing is that they will never stop coming and asking for the same thing over and over, no matter how repetitive it has become." Kai replied as the boy smiled and looked at the sky while raising his hand and closing it around the sun.

"It's because in the end, clichés always win." He replied with a dangerous smile as the sun suddenly disappeared.
