"Come on, Brother, it won't come to that!"
"Shrek and the Tang Sect may have the Golden Ancient Tree to rely on, but the Federation Government isn't completely without ways to counter them."
Ya Li thought Su Mo was underestimating the Federation Government.
She had once worked within it. She knew better than most how deep its resources ran.
If the Abyss hadn't suddenly appeared six thousand years ago and disrupted its plans, Shrek and the Tang Sect might have ceased to exist long ago.
After hearing Ya Li's explanation, Su Mo instinctively raised a hand to pinch her cheek, just as he had when they were children.
But he caught himself and quietly lowered his arm.
Ya Li noticed. She froze for a moment.
Then she understood, and the corners of her mouth lifted.
She crouched down and offered her soft, springy cheek to Su Mo.
"Brother, you can do it now!"
Ya Li looked up at him, her eyes shining with a teasing smile.
Su Mo shot her an exasperated look, then caught her cheek and gave it a vigorous rub.
Ya Li closed her eyes under his touch, her face full of contentment.
Seeing her look as pleased as a pampered kitten, Su Mo sighed. "You're talking about the three Godslaying Soul Guidance Shells, aren't you?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Ya Li nodded.
She wasn't surprised that Su Mo knew about the Godslaying Soul Guidance Shells.
The Federation Government had developed them, and their explosive power was said to be enough to kill a god. Plenty of people on Douluo Continent knew they existed.
The shells were also why Shrek and the Tang Sect had never dared to openly break from the Federation Government and declare independence.
But few people knew why there were exactly three Godslaying Soul Guidance Shells.
