The young man thought Wang Wen hadn't understood at all.

The middle-aged people thought Wang Wen was talking nonsense because she had eaten too much feces.

Regardless of their intentions, Wang Wen simply explained her plan.

First.

Since he is a prince, he must have connections. You are responsible for getting the emperor to order the granaries to be opened and grain distributed, and the time must be controlled within one or two days.

second.

Since we are all highly skilled, we naturally have connections with other highly skilled people. If you want rain, then we'll make it rain for you. If you don't believe me, show us what we've got outside the city first.

The middle-aged man wondered why they had to be outside the city.

Wang Wen took out a She Water Pearl that had absorbed an unknown amount of water and said, "If you're not afraid of flooding this house, that's fine too."

The young man scoffed.

The middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed, saying that if there really was a flood, he could just let it in!

Wang Wen nodded.

[She Water Pearl] was torn open.

These water-soaked She Water Pearl cannot be bought or sold in Zhu Xingguo's system of Equal Exchange.

Because once sold, they become empty beads.

The water inside, like Wang Wen's energy, was ruthlessly taken away by the World Tower.

Although the Point compensation is considerable, the purpose of selling [She Water Pearl] is not to covet those Point points.

Fortunately, the righteous are always one step ahead of the wicked.

[Equal Exchange] cannot be bought or sold.

The [Universal Advancement] technique can replicate several identical beads, each one fully soaked in water.

Zhu Xingguo's current level 7 [Universal Advancement] skill can replicate 6 [She Water Pearl] at a time.

If we calculate based on one or half a lake.

One copy is enough to fill three lakes that are that big.

Wang Wen always keeps one of the beads that absorbs the most water without tearing it off, and uses it to absorb water whenever she has the chance. Whenever she needs to use other beads, she only uses a replica of this "main bead".

The amount of water in the replicated [She Water Pearl] will increase in this way.

The one we're showing you right now is one of the replicas of the "main bead".

It contains more than half the volume of a lake.

This tear.

Zhu Xingguo and the others immediately held their breath.

Wang Wen then released bubbles to envelop herself and the others.

As for the others...

Wang Wen glanced at the middle-aged man and the young man.

They only gave the young man [Mental Shield].

They completely ignored the smug-looking middle-aged man who seemed to be waiting to see a good show.

The [She Water Pearl], torn in half, fell to the ground.

First, the soft "whoosh" of flowing water could be heard.

The very next second.

"Boom!!!"

The entire living room was instantly filled with water up to the roof.

All the windows and doors were spraying water wildly outwards.

The roof was blown off in no time.

Doors and windows have all disappeared.

Not long after, even the wall collapsed.

The entire stone house was falling apart.

Everyone inside the stone house was tumbling and spinning in the water.

Instinctively, it lunged towards the water.

But they found that the water level was rising higher and higher, seemingly without end.

Wang Wen floated around in the underwater world, enveloped in bubbles.

The torrential water was seen collapsing the stone house and rushing towards the cooking area.

He quickly waved a transparent barrier to block that direction.

Let the water flow rampage in the other three directions, destroying everything in its path.

This is an example of a city suddenly having a body of water about half the size of a lake.

It's basically like having an extra sea!

As far as the eye can see, there is only the vast ocean.

The people cooking and eating stared wide-eyed and upturned, dumbfounded, at a transparent wall blocking the towering water level not far away.

So startled that he spilled the delicious porridge in his hands without even realizing it.

It took quite a while.

The water flow gradually calmed down.

It slowly grew to a height of just over two meters.

A lot of debris was flowing down the water's surface.

A bubble carrying Wang Wen and four others floated gently on the water's surface.

Not far away on the other side, a middle-aged man burst out of the water with a "plop," looking around in a disheveled state.

The first thing I saw was five people floating slowly.

A flicker of fear crossed his eyes.

He then disregarded everything else, spat out two mouthfuls of water, and loudly called out "Your Highness."

After pausing for a moment, he plunged back into the water.

Wang Wen was somewhat surprised to see the middle-aged man.

He knew perfectly well that the impact of [She Water Pearl] exploding with water was enormous.

At this point, anyone who can remain in the center and survive is definitely not an ordinary person.

Apart from the five of them encased in bubbles, the only other person in the room was that mysterious middle-aged man.

As expected, arrogant people usually have some skills.

Wang Wen didn't want to waste time, so she waved her Scepter and made a small vow, causing the water to seep into the ground more quickly and find a place to stay.

Now, the water doesn't flow downhill; it flows vertically downwards.

It dropped a meter in less than ten seconds.

Ten seconds later, the ground became visible.

People kept popping up in the distance, spitting water and coughing.

Some seemed to have fainted, lying in the water, bobbing up and down helplessly.

The power of this [She Water Pearl] is primarily concentrated around the stone house.

Because of his status as a "prince," the area around the stone house was quite spacious.

Apart from the group of people cooking and eating in front, there weren't many civilians in the other three directions.

The soldiers and servants in the stone house experienced the horror of the flood firsthand.

An impact of that force is useless even if you can swim.

The middle-aged man finally found his "prince".

Hundreds of meters away from the stone house, the young man was perfectly intact and staring blankly inside a pale yellow "eggshell".

There were soldiers and servants around.

Most of them were unconscious girls.

The middle-aged man scrambled through the water to get across.

Seeing that the young man was safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They ignored and showed no concern for the other unconscious individuals.

The dazed young man, upon seeing the middle-aged man, regained his focus and stammered, "Commander Yun, have we encountered immortals?"

The young man casually grabbed a handful of mud from the ground.

It was still wet and dripping, and the water couldn't be kept in my hand at all.

"This ability can't be explained by any other trick, can it?" the young man said. "Moving mountains and filling seas, even if it were truly the work of mortals, it would be no different from magic."

The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but couldn't find a reply.

I wanted to explain, but I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation no matter how hard I tried.

Even he himself had to admit that this was something no ordinary person could achieve.

The other person is either a celestial being descended to earth.

Either a mortal cultivates to become an immortal.

In short, they are inextricably linked.

With this magical skill, one can go anywhere in the world.

"Your Highness," the middle-aged man coughed a few times, his voice hoarse as he said to the young man, "These people are probably not of use to us. Let them go."

The young man asked in confusion, "Why?"

The middle-aged man looked at the remaining water stains on the ground and said with some difficulty, "The water is too deep, I can't hold on."

The two didn't talk for long.

Wang Wen approached step by step through the water from afar, and asked in a loud voice, "Has Your Highness made up your mind? Is the plan feasible? Are there any other problems?"

The young man glanced at the middle-aged man.

He didn't say a word.

The middle-aged man calmed his breathing, straightened his posture, and respectfully explained to Wang Wen, "I hope you will forgive my previous offense. Regarding the matter of opening the granaries and distributing grain, our prince can recommend you to His Majesty. The specific details can be discussed in court. I believe that with your abilities, you will surely receive a satisfactory answer."

Wang Wen frowned.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xingguo, standing to the side, shouted unhappily, "So you're giving up after all this time? You've wasted so much water, are you just messing with us?"
