He pushed open the door and was greeted by another refreshing day.
"Morning, Xiao Mo Yi."
Xiao Mo Yi turned her head away and ignored him. Ximen Lang did not mind and went around greeting everyone else.
"Morning, Azhui."
"Hmph!"
"Tch, I'm not going to argue with you. Little Yan, where are you? Hurry up and bring over the crocodile meat we didn't finish last night. You've got no sense of tact."
"Well, well, isn't this Da Guan Ren Ximen? What, finally willing to crawl out of the Land of tenderness?"
"Cut the crap! Where's the food?"
"None." Yan spread her hands.
"??? We didn't eat that much yesterday, did we? What happened to the rest?"
"Xiao Mo Yi ate it all."
"Sister Yan, what do you mean, I ate it all? You and Azhui..."
Azhui quickly covered Xiao Mo Yi's mouth, and even Yan glared at her.
Ximen Lang was completely speechless. Every one of them was a glutton.
He had to admit, Beast God Meat really was tastier than ordinary meat. It was chewy without being greasy, and it could replenish energy too. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.
What a shame.
Forget it. He would ask Suo Dun for some more later. He figured Suo Dun would be willing to give him some.
"Gone is gone. By the way, Leng was a little tired yesterday, so she'll be getting up late today. Don't go disturb her."
Those words earned him three pairs of white eyes.
He rubbed his stomach. He still felt like eating something.
"Little Yan, I'll give you a chance to show off. Go make something."
"Get lost!"
"Azhui?"
"Go to hell, you shameless jerk!"
Xiao Mo Yi looked at Yan, then at Azhui, and sighed.
"Forget it. I'll go."
"Xiao Mo Yi, I have faith in you! You're far better than Yan and Azhui! Once your brother-in-law gets rich, I definitely won't forget you."
That earned Xiao Mo Yi another long glare. Surprisingly, Yan and Azhui did not stop her.
It was only after living on Earth for so long that they learned Xiao Mo Yi was actually quite a good cook. Whenever Leng was unavailable, she was the one who cooked.
Unlike the other two, who only knew how to eat! After everyone finished breakfast, it was already broad daylight when Leng finally got up.
After serving Leng and helping her wash up, Ximen Lang dragged her to the seaside.
That's right, the Villa District where Ximen Lang and the others lived was connected to the sea and even came with a private beach.
"What are you doing again?"
Ximen Lang looked a little embarrassed.
"Wife, about this... shouldn't we think it over again? How about we go home..."
"Get lost! I'm asking why you brought me here... What are you trying to do?"
Leng was speechless too. Was there really nothing in this bastard's head besides that one thing? Ximen Lang felt a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he explained,
"Wife, I'm going to show you something fun."
As he spoke, Ximen Lang began forming hand seals, but because he was unfamiliar with them, he kept getting them wrong.
In the end, Ximen Lang grew so annoyed that he simply slapped his palms together.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A small fireball appeared out of thin air over the sea as Ximen Lang exhaled, and it grew larger and larger.
In the blink of an eye, it had expanded to a hundred meters across.
Leng instinctively activated Angel's Eye and began analyzing it.
"An entirely new, unknown energy, formed by combining mental energy with physical energy? Is it really that mystical?"
"The only problem is that its power is mediocre. The flame's highest temperature is barely a thousand degrees. It's not very useful."
It really was not very useful. Even a First Generation Super Soldier could ignore an environment heated to over a thousand degrees.
The fireball looked intimidating, but in reality, it was nothing special.
"What is that?" Yan, Azhui, and Xiao Mo Yi hurried over as well. Seeing the fireball over the sea, they asked.
"Chakra! Great Fireball Technique! It even comes with hand seals. Cool, right?"
As he spoke, he formed several seals that looked more or less correct. Whether they resembled the real thing or not, they certainly looked stylish.
To put it simply, hand seals were used to help the body control the flow of energy. Once one's control was strong enough, hand seals were nothing more than a formality.
But Ximen Lang did not care about that. Looking cool was enough.
Ximen Lang then demonstrated Earth Release: Earth Flow River, Water Release: Water Formation Wall, and Wind Release: Great Breakthrough in succession.
Finally, he ended the demonstration with a spectacular Lightning Release: Kirin.
"Lightning Release: Kirin? This technique is actually somewhat impressive."
That was true. The earlier ninjutsu had been far too weak. They were fine against ordinary people, but against Super Soldiers? What a joke.
Did he plan to burn them to death or drown them? Or perhaps make them laugh to death?
Sufficient range but insufficient precision—that was a common flaw of ninjutsu.
However, that was not absolute.
Ximen Lang raised a hand, and a blue sphere appeared in his palm.
At the same time, blue lightning surfaced in his other hand.
Rasengan and Lightning Release: Lightning Blade—these two were specifically meant for piercing attacks.
According to Ximen Lang's calculations, these two techniques were powerful enough to break through the defenses of a Second Generation Super Soldier.
It was hard to say how effective they would be against others, but they would be enough against the Gluttons.
"Can I play with them?" Yan became interested too.
"You want them?" Ximen Lang grinned smugly.
Yan simply looked at him without saying a word, silently watching him show off.
"Come on, call me 'Grandpa' and let me hear it. Maybe I'll teach you if I'm in a good mood."
Ximen Lang beckoned Xiao Mo Yi over.
"Come here, Xiao Mo Yi. Your brother-in-law will teach you the cultivation method. Take it and play with it. But there's one condition: you're not allowed to teach Yan or Azhui."
Xiao Mo Yi looked at Yan, then Azhui, and finally Leng. Then she smiled sweetly.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law."
Ximen Lang cast a sidelong glance at Yan and Azhui, looking incredibly pleased with himself.
Even Leng could not stand watching anymore.
"You're all grown adults. Why are you acting like children?"
To the very end, Ximen Lang still did not hear the two little angels call him "Grandpa."
He had to admit, it was a pity.
Watching the little angels play happily, Ximen Lang also sent a copy of the Chakra Refining Method and the Ninjutsu Encyclopedia to Queen Keisha and Pi Pi Xi.
By the seaside, Leng and Ximen Lang sat on the beach and chatted.
"You plan to use these things to support Huaxia?"
"Yeah. Their foundation is just too weak. Even if I gave them the God-Making Technology, they wouldn't be able to understand it. Technological breakthroughs can't happen overnight, so I'd better give them something they can use first."
"We'll talk about the rest after they get through the Gluttons."
Leng brushed back the strands of hair blown loose by the sea breeze.
"Actually, the angels can help Earth drive away the Gluttons. As long as you ask, it wouldn't be difficult."
Ximen Lang shook his head.
He could indeed request the angels' help, and the angels were willing to help him, but he could not do that.
Looking across the entire Known Universe, every advanced civilization had ultimately risen through blood and fire.
This was Huaxia's opportunity to advance into a spacefaring civilization, or even a god-making civilization. He could not casually interrupt it.
Besides, even if Huaxia safely survived this calamity with the angels' help, what would happen afterward?
Demons, male angels, Triangle Bodies, the descent of the Void...
Could he help for a moment? Could he really help forever? In the end, Huaxia still had to rely on itself.
