Aizen King and the King of Fighting Landlords

The magic array absorbed the residual energy of the coronal storm, repairing the weakened areas impacted during the battle, and the will of the Zhou Kingdom's guardian emperor was thus continued.

The core systems of the two Emperor's Guardians regained autonomous capabilities and sensed Zhou Nan's commands. They continued to stand in majestic poses, like epic statues, guarding the barrier.

The outside world had just passed through the darkest and quietest hour before dawn. Search and rescue operations were still proceeding in a tense yet orderly manner. The mountain summit camp had many more tents, with rotated team members resting. Qin Luming took a wide detour to avoid being seen by others and brought the unconscious beautiful girl into his tent.

Qin Luming's tent was spacious enough to comfortably fit three people. He kicked off his shoes and sat cross-legged to the side. He turned on the overhead light, watching it fall on her face, then quickly turned off the main light and lit a drip-proof candle that would extinguish if tipped over.

Qin Luming carefully examined the girl before him, clasping his hands together and rubbing them nervously. He leaned forward and swayed back a few times, then touched his own slightly warm cheeks.

Fairy Jiang. This was the name Qin Luming had given her.

At the time, he was conceptualizing the name for his novel's heroine. Zuozuo was cutting ginger, and Caicai was peeling garlic. Qin Luming thought of a name like "Ginger Garlic Girl," finding it very cute, but then decided "Jiang Sangzi" sounded good with a slight change in pronunciation.

The TV was showing "Dream of the Red Chamber," and he thought of the character "Jiangzhu Xianzi." The pronunciation of "Jiang" and "Jian" was similar, so Qin Luming finally settled on the name "Fairy Jiang."

Divine Ash Sky Aizen Great Bright King. This was not Qin Luming's creation.

Qin Luming's novel was titled "My Girlfriend is a Fairy's Life Experience." The book title was decided after the heroine's name was set as Fairy Jiang.

Qin Luming had always longed for the cute heroine from his novel to come to reality. Now that his wish had come true, Qin Luming felt somewhat at a loss.

He even felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, fantasizing in a novel was one thing; it carried no burden, and he could describe her cuteness and express his affection without reservation.

Reality was a different matter entirely!

Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful girl before him, Qin Luming scratched his hair again. He just hoped she hadn't learned about the story and plot of "My Girlfriend is a Fairy's Life Experience."

"Bug, what are you thinking about?"

As Qin Luming was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard the girl's voice. He quickly turned his head to look at her and was stunned. "What did you call me?"

"Bug."

Qin Luming opened his mouth. "Why are you calling me bug?"

"In your novel, didn't I call you bug?" The girl looked at Qin Luming with slight confusion. "Isn't that the name you like... I remember you wrote: Her moist lips parted slightly, and the syllables she uttered were filled with arrogant command, chongzi. She seemed to truly believe that everyone she faced was merely a bug, not deliberately trying to insult anyone."

Qin Luming hugged his face, ran his hands through his hair, and felt incredibly awkward. He almost wanted to dig a hole and bury his head. Why had he written something like that, making himself seem like a pervert who enjoyed being insulted?

"Bug."

"Wait... stop calling me bug. Are you really Fairy Jiang?" Qin Luming raised his hand and took a deep breath to calm himself. Regardless of what was written in the novel, her identity, and how this happened, he needed to confirm it seriously.

The girl slowly sat up, smoothing her clothes with her hands. She turned her head to observe Qin Luming. Her clear eyes, like black pearls washed by water, made one feel as if looking into them would reveal all the clean, dirty, and evasive thoughts in their heart.

"We've already signed a contract," Fairy Jiang frowned. "Of course I am. My personal name is on it."

"Then... are you also... deeply devoted, loving what Great King?" Qin Luming hadn't heard clearly, and in his novel, Fairy Jiang was a powerful being who accidentally arrived on Earth. He hadn't established how she came to Earth or her original identity, as the focus was on daily life.

"Divine Ash Sky Aizen Great Bright King." Fairy Jiang's brows seemed to be permanently furrowed. "Considering you're just an ordinary bug, I'll forgive your rudeness."

Qin Luming had given up on asking her to stop calling him bug. It seemed, just as he had set it up, that in Fairy Jiang's eyes, everyone was a bug.

"Then how did we sign a contract? Did you exist originally, or were you created by my novel?" Qin Luming asked curiously. "What are the effects and functions of the contract we signed?"

"You're just a bug, how could you possibly create a God King?" Fairy Jiang looked at Qin Luming calmly.

Qin Luming took a deep breath. So, being called "bug" in reality didn't make her cute at all!

"Then, as a God King, why would you sign a contract with a bug? I'm not admitting I'm a bug, but your arrogance isn't fully justified given the established facts. What's so great about a God King who signs a contract with a bug, or is summoned by one?" Qin Luming said indignantly.

"A God King is certainly nothing special, but I am Divine Ash Sky Aizen Great Bright King, not just any God King. The only other God King who can be compared to me has the title King of Fighting Landlords," Fairy Jiang said dismissively, not paying attention to the provocation in Qin Luming's tone.

"What?" Qin Luming thought he had misheard. "King of Fighting Landlords? Are you referring to the King of Fighting Landlords, with the characters for 'fight,' 'land,' and 'master'?"

"Mhm."

After a moment of stunned silence, Qin Luming pressed his face hard, suppressing a burst of laughter to avoid showing disrespect to this "King of Fighting Landlords."

An "Aizen Great Bright King" who could be compared to the "King of Fighting Landlords"... Qin Luming found the imposing title of "Aizen Great Bright King" suddenly not so impressive.

"My mother was Aizen King, the first generation Aizen King, and the commander of the Divine Kingdom during the first Divine Kingdom war in the Divine Punishment Sky Cloud Divine Realm. She was injured while fighting against Lin Jiangxian, a powerful being from the Sky Cloud Divine Realm, but she also banished Lin Jiangxian to your world," Fairy Jiang spoke as if recounting a historical story, without any emotion. "The Aizen King's domain artifact, the Pure Grace Divine Bow, was also lost during this war... which directly led to her encountering the King of Fighting Landlords, who came to provoke her when her strength had not fully recovered, resulting in another crushing defeat."

"Then why is your mother Aizen King, and you are Aizen Great Bright King... Shouldn't you be Aizen Little Bright King?" Qin Luming asked, unable to comprehend.

"I am stronger than her."

Was that the reason? Qin Luming could tell from Fairy Jiang's tone that she didn't seem to have much respect or filial affection for her mother. It was merely an objective mother-daughter relationship, with no deeper bond.

"I originally couldn't come to this world, but because of you, a passage was constructed between your world and the Divine Kingdom, allowing me to descend smoothly." Fairy Jiang spread her palm, and the staff that had disappeared when she fell from the sky reappeared in her hand. It had shrunk considerably, fitting within the tent and looking more proportionate to her height.

So it was because of him that she was summoned... Qin Luming was beginning to understand the cause and effect.

Qin Luming had previously thought that for beings from other worlds to come to Earth, a passage must have been constructed for some reason. Whether it was the novel world or the Divine Kingdom that existed regardless of whether he wrote his novel, as Fairy Jiang mentioned, it was all the same.

"Because of what reason of mine?" Qin Luming asked expectantly. His attention had shifted from the beautiful girl, the object of his daydreams as a young man who had never been in love, to the fact that someone had finally appeared who could answer some mysterious phenomena for him.

Zhou Nan could have provided some answers, but Zhou Nan seemed much less approachable than Fairy Jiang. Zhou Nan only wanted to capture Qin Luming and castrate him for writing novels; apart from that, His Majesty the Emperor was indifferent to the affairs of others.

Fairy Jiang seemed to be more patient than Zhou Nan, even though her status sounded more noble. Fairy Jiang tilted her head slightly, looking at Qin Luming with the gaze she reserved for bugs. "Do you know about divine particles?"

Qin Luming shook his head. He knew about particles, of course, but "divine particles" didn't sound like a term belonging to the scientific domain.

"If I divide a bug into a hundred pieces, what does it become?" Fairy Jiang asked.

"A dead bug." Qin Luming felt that as she asked the question, she glanced at him again. Was she still referring to him with "bug"?

"What if we keep dividing it until each part can no longer be divided?"

"That's a particle. At the beginning of last century, our world had a definition. People called photons, electrons, protons, neutrons, and so on fundamental particles, believing they could no longer be divided. In reality, people later discovered that protons and neutrons themselves had their own complex structures." Qin Luming paused. Could the 'divine particles' Fairy Jiang spoke of not be some obscure theological term, but have a scientific basis?

"Divine particles are the state of matter when it has been divided to the point where it can no longer be divided. At this point, this indivisible matter possesses divinity. It can combine to form any world, any phenomenon, any space. Even a single divine particle can appear at any point on the timeline. It can also exist simultaneously in any two locations, and these two locations can be infinitely far apart in terms of space and time." Fairy Jiang looked at Qin Luming, who seemed so astonished he was about to reveal the structure of his throat. She seemed a little puzzled. "You're actually surprised. Surprise implies you can grasp some of the meaning. It seems you're not a foolish insect."

"This... this is a bit like the quantum concepts in our science, quantum effects, time crystals, and so on..." Qin Luming wasn't as ignorant as Fairy Jiang thought. If a physical quantity has a smallest, indivisible fundamental unit, then that physical quantity is quantized, and the smallest unit can be called a quantum. In the microscopic world in a quantum state, it can truly be called a divine world. Even the scientific community can only explore with difficulty, attempting to touch that unknown realm akin to the divine.

Qin Luming even suspected that Fairy Jiang's statements were perhaps another way of describing and researching the microscopic world.

"When you create a character in the novels you write here that matches my image, a fluctuation of divine particles is produced. Your novel character and I become two positional expressions of the same entity. I am in the Divine Kingdom, and also within your novel." Fairy Jiang looked at the staff in her hand. "Do you understand?"

"I don't understand the principle, but I understand this phenomenon... Why is the Summoning Contract the novel contract I signed?" Qin Luming continued to ask.

"What appears as a novel contract in your eyes, the divine particles that compose it can express another contractual state, but you are unable to interpret it. You can only see one of its manifestations." Fairy Jiang pointed to her eyes. "For example, you are currently wearing clothing suitable for insects to protect their soft bodies, but I can see that the manifestation of this clothing is just a few strips of cloth binding the vulnerable parts of the body. The shape of this attire that I see is not an illusion, but a recombination of divine particles."

Qin Luming involuntarily hugged himself. This... this basically means that in the dead of winter, when everyone is bundled up, wearing thermal underwear, in Fairy Jiang's eyes, it could become everyone wearing a bikini? And it's not an illusion?

This ability is quite interesting.
