Lantian Zhu: Stealing Someone Right Under Their Nose Doesn't Count as Stealing / The Immortal Leader Wants to Meet the Emperor
The former has his left hand behind his head, his right hand pointing forward, and his eyes looking in the direction of his right hand, as if it were a dance pose.
The latter bends backward, maintaining a fighting stance with exceptional flexibility and core strength, then points a single finger forward.
Cong Yu's pose was the strangest and seemed the most meaningless. But strangely, it had a cool vibe, a kind of inexplicable fashion sense.
Finally, the one who emerged was Xiao Cui, who was holding Takemikazuchi. Her face was full of "I can't bear to look" expressions, making her the only normal person in the team.
Takemikazuchi covered his face with his paws, pretending he didn't recognize them.
Everyone fell silent.
In response, the white-haired magical girl, seeing the three of them return to their proper state, chose to ignore their strange standing posture, just like everyone else.
"Because this is the battle of the Xian Kui."
The white-haired magical girl said, pointing to the other magical girls watching, "The Xian Kui told them not to act rashly and to leave the enemy to her... but Xian Kui solution was to go herself."
Yaochuan Guang tilted his head, indicating that he did not understand.
Honestly, Yaochuan Guang thought it would be better for everyone to join forces and cut down the enemy together, throwing out whatever spells they had...
Is there any real need to go it alone?
Yaochuan Guang asked this question, while Cong Yu, while watching the battlefield, casually explained, "Well, if one day I were killed by bad guys... wouldn't you want to avenge me yourself?"
"..."
"!!!"What?!
If Cong Yu- chan were to be killed one day...
Yaochuan Guang thought about it and immediately frowned, "No, I'll invite all of Cong Yu- chan's friends."
"Take Little Lan, Xiao Cui, Doctor Little Shadow, and the others with us, and we'll find out exactly what happened to that bad guy."
Chop it into minced meat..."
"Because everyone definitely wants to help you get revenge, and if they can't join in, they'll be furious."
"..." Cong Yu was a little speechless, but for some reason felt that Yaochuan Guang's words made sense. He tilted his head and asked, "Have you been reading Water Margin lately?"
Yaochuan Guang nodded seriously at Cong Yu's words.
"Hmm, the villainous assassin Wu Song! Ee-ya!"
"..."
What is that?!
Chapter 687 Lantian Zhu: Stealing in front of someone doesn't count as stealing.
Honestly, if Moerae really promised his followers any benefits, or personally spoke up to support them, it would be...
Therefore, the fanaticism of these believers is understandable.
But that wasn't actually the case; they even came to defend Moerae's dignity themselves, completely oblivious to their own madness.
Even after seeing how Geya Hernand, a fellow believer, was betrayed by the gods, they were able to completely forget about it.
Even though I confronted and talked with Miss Lin.
Even knowing that Moerae wouldn't help them or say a word for them, at some point in the future...
Moerae will once again trample on what they once received from her, and the loved ones she saved, crushing them into the earth.
Even so, they still revered Moerae...
This is a hopeless bunch.
"..."
"Laugh!!!"
Therefore, he must be executed!
"Brush!!!"
Therefore, they must be killed!
"Quack! Whoosh!!"
The Xian Kui shrieked with a magnetic field, followed by a magnetic exhale, and then raised his sword again. "Come on! Face me!"
Having said that, he nimbly dodged the invisible blade of the young divine messenger, then ignored the Divine Power protection emanating from him.
With a single sword stroke, he severed the heads of several other believers.
--
"Speaking of which, aren't you the divine messenger that Moerae is most concerned about?"
Cong Yu said this as she sat down next to Miss Lin, who was sighing, "Isn't this a bit too ironic?"
Indeed, we are paying attention.
But that reason was neither friendly nor kind.
So it can be considered a two-way satire.
"..." Both of them knew this, and they knew the other knew this. Therefore, they couldn't continue the conversation.
After a period of silence, the two, filled with emotion and helplessness, spoke to each other almost simultaneously.
"Aren't you going to help Xian Kui?" x2
They spoke in unison, then paused in perfect unison, before continuing, this time each speaking their own words.
"I want to fight, and I can only do so with Moerae's power."
"This is Xian Kui venting his anger; I have no need to interfere."
"..." Then, the two realized at the same time that what the other said made sense, and they nodded almost simultaneously.
Yaochuan Guang and the others, who were watching from a distance, were also quite speechless.
What a high synchronization rate!
Are there really nothing between these two in private?
However, compared to that, everyone is actually more concerned about the changes in Xian Kui... To Yaochuan Guang and the others, Xian Kui is still the same Xian Kui.
But for Etzel and the other Monster King who had come into contact with and understood Xian Kui early on... Xian Kui's changes were quite significant.
"Speaking of which, that kid used to seem clueless about what he was supposed to do... but after we fought, he suddenly had an epiphany?"
Etzel remarked, offering her speculation, then glanced at Cong Yu: "But after I finished, Cong Yu, were you the one who stayed behind to comfort her? Did you do something?"
Hello!
Your words make it sound like I took advantage of the Xian Kui mind and then took advantage of his vulnerability with evil intentions!
Cong Yu found it hard to accept.
Lantian Zhu instantly realized something and said, "So that's how it is. Did Cong Yu take advantage of Xian Kui's wavering heart to sneak in?"
Cong Yu: "!!!"
I knew people would interpret it that way!
But you two are quite something; one of you always manages to be misunderstood when you speak, and the other can accurately interpret the worst possible ambiguity.
[What do you mean by taking advantage of a weakness! Stop reading comic books!]
Cong Yu originally wanted to yell at Lantian Zhu, but after thinking about it carefully... well, it seems he really is one.
Aside from not having any malicious intent and not trying to gain favor, what I did seemed no different from what Lantian Zhu said.
"That's not true, that's not true."
Cong Yu said this, maintaining a calm expression to conceal the turmoil within. "Listen to my excuses."
Cong Yu: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Cong Yu: "Let me explain."
Everyone: "Oh, I see."
Seeing everyone's convinced expressions, Cong Yu felt that apart from Yaochuan Guang, no one else seemed to believe it at all.
But Cong Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the whole story of how he helped Xian Kui and how Xian Kui himself had changed.
That's pretty much it. I've essentially told everyone about my personal storyline with Xian Kui (laughs).
"I see... Xian Kui is quite powerful."
Yaochuan Guang spoke first, his thoughts having already shifted from the "favorability storyline" to something similar to what Cong Yu had been thinking about.
However, it could also be said that Yaochuan Guang never actually thought in the direction of "Cong Yu and Xian Kui having something happen" from the very beginning.
"Save humanity... Is she capable?"
Yaochuan Guang asked, blinking at Cong Yu, appearing quite rational. "If the Earth is really going to explode, is there really any way we can stop it? Space travel... or something like that?"
As Yaochuan Guang said this and looked up at the sky, Cong Yu smiled helplessly... It's not that the Earth is exploding, but that the world is being destroyed.
The latter encompasses the former, but the former is indeed more powerless than the latter... after all, the destruction of the world can be achieved in different ways.
For example, the awakening of Demon King.
Thinking this, Cong Yu glanced silently at Yaochuan Guang, then exchanged a look with Lantian Zhu, who seemed hesitant to speak.
Lantian Zhu: "..."
However, Lantian Zhu didn't say anything...
However, she vaguely remembered that Yaochuan Guang hadn't always been this... how should she put it? Hmm...
Do you have a brain?
Even when facing the choice between saving his senior or saving the Cong Yu, given by Cong Yu (the King of Wind City), Yaochuan Guang was still a formidable figure in the past.
People who can choose "I want them all!" without hesitation.
Now, it seems we're starting to wonder, "Can we really do it?"... Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
He sighed silently in his heart.
He then briefly examined himself, thought about Senior Hong who was guarding the house, and glanced at Xian Kui, who was annihilating the enemy army.
In fact, the changes brought about by Cong Yu had already subtly permeated her world.
I see...
With a soft sigh, Lantian Zhu remained expressionless, realizing once again the point that had long been ingrained in his mind.
As expected, it has to be Cong Yu.
Thinking this, Lantian Zhu casually sat down next to Cong Yu. Then, he put his arm around Cong Yu's shoulder and they cuddled together like "brothers."
She was convinced of Cong Yu's reasons...
It wasn't out of lust, nor out of desire, nor because "Cong Yu is very beautiful" or "Cong Yu is close to me."
It has little to do with being single for many years.
Rather, it's because...
Cong Yu is Cong Yu... that's enough.
Chapter 688 The Xian Kui Desires to See the Emperor
Quite a few things happened in the first week of the Myriad Immortals Ceremony.
For example, Etzel's aggressiveness, the sudden rise of the Xian Kui, the dramatic changes within China, the attacks by Moerae's followers, etc...
But we need to put these "unexpected" events aside for now.
Judging from the Myriad Immortals Ceremony itself, it actually met the expectations of China... or rather, the expectations of the Xian Kui who represent China.
Xian Kui and the relevant departments have also discussed the matter.
After the Myriad Immortals Ceremony had been running for a few more weeks, the list of participants was divided according to the current external power structure.
They should unite to form a new institution that can represent all countries and various forces to deal with potential future disasters.
