Chapter 17:
The morning sun is as dazzling as ever, and most of the summer vacation has passed in a blink of an eye.
Although Wang Ming's summer vacation life was not stable, well, his summer vacation was spent in another world, and it seemed that his next studies would be completed at the Mage Academy.
"But anyway, it's better to go to the underworld for a summer vacation trip, and it's better to do less of this kind of thing in the future. β
Wang Ming concluded while drying the life sustaining liquid on his body.
Toria nodded, wiping her chest with a towel, and as her hands rubbed, the flesh continued to jump up and down. Wang Ming couldn't help but be attracted by this wonderful scene, and his eyes were like piranhas smelling blood, and quickly swam to Tolia.
Lilith punched Wang Ming hard, maintained a fist-swinging posture, and the little Lori wrapped in a bath towel roared: "You salty and wet waste don't beat my sister's doctrine, go and die for me a hundred times!"
Wang Ming rubbed his eyes, struggled to get up from the ground, and halfway up, he fell back on his stomach again.
"It's a little bit close, it's a little bit like seeing ......"
As he moved underneath Lilith, Wang Ming muttered to himself.
Lori crushed the cockroach on the ground with one kick.
Cangyang walked over with the clothes of the three of them: "The place is a bit small, but why don't you pull the curtains?"
Lilith, who was stepping on cockroaches, and Wang Ming, who was being abused, both stopped, with confused expressions on their faces, and looked at Cangyang blankly.
"Curtains?"
Cangyang snapped his fingers, a light screen appeared in the air, and as hundreds of passwords were entered into the Lingzi computer, a curtain for isolation slowly descended from the ceiling.
Ordinary people who remember the passwords of hundreds of people, hey! The three of them stared at Cangyang. I can't complain anymore.
"You've got time to see me. It's better to get dressed quickly. Do you know that the current situation is very prohibited?"
After getting dressed, Wang Ming ran to the third cultivation trough, and under the thick glass floated Yu Huang's new body.
Trying to stop the nosebleed with a napkin, Wang Ming said in a thick nasal voice: "There's no need to let her float in the water without wearing anything, right?
Cangyang explained: "Because of some technical reasons that are very troublesome to explain, the cultivation tank cannot be opened until the body is fully recovered and the soul is reinfused, so it is impossible to put clothes on her...... Speaking of which. You're bleeding more than a liter. β
Someone looked left and right and said to him: "Maybe my body hasn't been used for too long, so it can't carry my great soul hahaha......"
The laughter became more and more fake, and finally stopped awkwardly.
Lilith stuck out her tongue at Wang Ming from behind: "You poor milk control~"
Wang Ming burst into tears and prayed sincerely in his heart: "Father of Heaven, Mia has become a bad child......"
Suddenly realizing something, Wang Ming dragged Lilith to his side, and regardless of the fall of the bath towel wrapped around her, Wang Ming looked at her body completely.
"Double Dragons Play Pearls!"
"Oh, the eyes!"
"Pervert!H!Perverted!Poor Milk Control!"
Wang Ming covered his kryptonite eyes: "No, didn't you find that you had broken away from Tolia's left hand?"
Lilith picked up the towel and circled it in front of her, "Hmph, even if you use the excuse of 'I was too surprised and didn't react'." Don't try to fool me, I really think I'm so easy to deceive your poor milk Lori!"
Wang Ming rubbed his almost completely shattered eyeballs. muttered in a low voice: "Aren't you a poor milk Lori......"
When Lilith heard this, her upper face was completely darkened: "...... Die!"
After a crunch, Wang Ming's whole body twisted and fell to the ground.
Cangyang's recorded system voice sounded from the inferior sound bell crystal: "Soul flow capture, start draining ......"
Before Wang Ming could react, a progress bar on the edge of the cultivation tank jumped full in an instant, and then another voice sounded: "The drainage is complete, the body is detected...... This task has been completed first, everyone stay away from the cultivation tank! Warning! Everyone stay away from the cultivation tank!"
Wang Ming was lying at the door of the cultivation tank.
With a bang, the glass door of the cultivation tank popped open, and the huge kinetic energy slammed Wang Ming into the air, leaving a human-shaped red mark on the wall.
Cangyang explained expressionlessly: "Sin, sin." β
Lilith tightened the towel on her body and pretended to be full of compassion: "May her soul rest in peace...... Cangyang, you are too hypocritical, how can a three-nothing person say that he is guilty?"
Cangyang looked back at Lilith with empty eyes: "I'm talking about that deformed wall, which could have been used for another fifteen years. On the contrary, you, as a black-bellied person, are even less qualified to say this. β
Lilith said proudly: "Cut, hypocrisy is the sign of a black belly, I don't even understand this~"
Cangyang took out the paper and said while remembering: "Lilith, pseudo-belly black Lori, hypocritical personality......"
On the other side, Wang Ming crawled out of the wall, and the fighting energy distributed throughout his body saved his life at the moment of impact, and he was about to say something, when he saw the longing ...... standing behind him
"Mia, am I dreaming again? No, the undead don't dream......"
Yu Huang held his head and slid down against the door of the cultivation tank with his weak body.
Wang Ming rushed over with an arrow and squatted beside Yuhuang.
"It's not a dream, you're home. β
Wang Ming pulled the wet feather phoenix into his arms and buried her head in his chest.
"Home, little phoenix. β
ββββββββββββ
"The resurrection comes at a price. β
Cangyang said.
"After those strong people are resurrected, their strength will decrease, and if there is no way to descend, then the body will collapse due to the huge energy consumption required for resurrection, and all the attributes of the guide will decrease. β
Yu Huang pinched his face and asked, "But I don't think there's any difference?"
Cangyang continued to explain: "But because this resurrection is the automatic hand of a superior god, and I will guide the resurrection ceremony, the loss is very small. But despite this, the loss still exists. In order to support the energy needed for this resurrection. A lot of the fat in Yuhuang's body has been burned. If you look closely. You will find that Yuhuang's legs and waist have lost a circle. β
Yuhuang's face was full of excitement, are all females creatures who can spare their lives to lose weight?
"Listen to me, although a lot of fat is consumed in these places, but the most consumed is the breasts, yes, if you look closely, you will find that Yuhuang's chest is as flat as a road roller. β
Feather Phoenix blinked dumbly, then tucked his hand into the hem of his coat like lightning.
Then she fainted.
Wang Ming picked up the feather phoenix. Walked back to the room where she hadn't been back for a long time, put Yuhuang on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
"Woo woo, a lifetime of washboard ......"
Rubbing Lori's head, Wang Ming kept comforting: "Don't cry, don't I have to wear a symbol of unknown gender for the rest of my life?"
At this moment, a red figure rushed in from the door, and Wang Ming stared at her for a long time before he remembered that this was his soul beast - True Red.
Speaking of which, I threw Zhenhong down for several days, and I was really sorry for her. Seeing that Xiao Zhenhong's face had lost weight, he pulled it into his arms in distress.
Holding two Lori in your arms will be killed by Lei Gong!
"It's so red. When I'm not there, does my eldest sister not care about food?"
True Red nodded slightly.
"Little Phoenix, the diet in the underworld is very bad, right?"
Yu Huang's face was bitter and he recalled the specialties of the underworld.
"So, I'll show you a hand!"
The two pets looked at Wang Ming in confusion.
In the kitchen, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar pots and pans kept flying up and down, explosions and shattering sounds came and went, accompanied by Wang Ming's screams or screams, and the fire and freezing gas rushed out of the exhaust window alternately.
Returning to the room with two bowls of braised beef noodles, Wang Ming explained embarrassedly: "I haven't cooked for a long time, and it's really not easy to use the kitchen utensils from another world......"
Pushing open the door, the two cute creatures were sleeping in the quilt hugging each other.
Mia couldn't help but smile slightly, put her face on the head of the bed, carefully closed the door, and retreated from the room.
"It's so fun to have pets...... Wang Ming muttered to himself.
"yes, yes, that's funny. β
Wang Ming heard the voice behind him and quickly turned around, and Xing Lian was standing there leaning against the wall.
"Yo, Xinglian, you've already run all over the ground, are you okay?"
Xing Lian nodded: "The eldest sister personally treated it, what can I do?"
"It's really reassuring to be asleep, to be alone in the underworld for so long......"
Xinglian's face became a little unhappy after hearing Wang Ming's words, and he turned his head away with a little disappointment.
"How...... What's wrong? Xinglian, are you not feeling well?"
"No, it's nothing, suddenly I'm a little tired, I'll go back first!"
After saying that, he ran away.
Wang Ming looked at the door slammed by Xinglian with some strange eyes.
"Am I mistaken? Xinglian seems to be crying?"
The eldest sister's voice came from behind him: "Of course you read it right!"
"Big ...... Big sister, I'm scared to death, has it been very popular in Rainbow City lately to come out of behind people and be scary?"
"Mia, don't you know how hurtful your words just now?"
Wang Ming had no idea what she was talking about: "What words?"
Yueying sighed: "You wooden fish head, you still don't know that Xinglian girl likes you?"
Wang Ming tilted his head stupidly, staring at Yue Ying in confusion.
"Stupid! You are so good to Xiaohuang, and you rushed to the underworld to save her, but have you ever thought about Xinglian? People are desperate to fight the night angel to the death in order to save you! When you are away, she has been in a coma in a nightmare, do you know? In order to let you and Xiaohuang live together, she would rather die for you!"
"Do you know that Xinglian was in my bed when I communicated that day? I really thought I was messing with Lily? The bed shook because Xinglian was crying! At that time, that girl was complaining to me, you bastard didn't mention Cangyang at all, just cared about saving Xiaohuang back, how sad Xinglian's girl was, do you know! She told me, if you really like Xiaohuang, she will go back to the battlefield and continue to be a mercenary, and the girl who has taken on your mission on the twilight front has already taken it for you!"
"Wang Ming!! if you are still a man, then go to her room now and tell her whether you like her or not!"
knocked on the door, regardless of whether Xinglian agreed or not, Wang Ming directly pushed the door open. Walk into Starripple's room.
"Ahh That one. Xinglian, uh, the weather is nice today, haha......"
The girl sitting at the head of the bed hurriedly hid the handkerchief behind her, but even the tears in her eyes could not be hidden.
"I, I don't mean anything else, Xinglian, I just feel so sorry for you that I don't care about your feelings and only be with Xiaohuang. The eldest sister said......"
Yueying's claws appeared at the door and led Wang Ming out.
"Idiot, you, don't you think Xinglian is sad enough with this tone?"
"I really don't know how to say it, I've never been in love since I was a child, I'm only sixteen years old, big sister!"
"You give me a letter, do you like it or not?"
Leaning against the cold wall, Wang Ming, who was a little panicked, calmed down: "Well, I can only say that I have a good feeling......
"That's easy!" After speaking, Yue Ying kicked Wang Ming back into the room.
Facing Xinglian again, Wang Ming said embarrassedly: "Xinglian, I know I've been unfair to you these days, you're a good girl." I've always had a crush on you since I met you. β
"But love this kind of thing. It's really not clear in a sentence or two. I don't know if I like Xiaohuang or not, maybe I really plan to protect Xiaohuang until death, or maybe I just covet her beauty and her relationship with the dragons...... I don't know, I'm a very dull person, like a stone, I don't know your feelings for me, so ......"
"So, I want to know what you think, what the hell does Starripple think of me. β
The girl lowered her head in frustration and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Mia, do you remember the time when Xiaohuang was captured by the dragon hunters?"
"At that time, as soon as you got the news, you almost instantly entered a state of rage, and I was surprised, because the entire sea clan in the West Sea has been corrupted by the deceit, and it is impossible for anyone to be so angry about the matter of a friend. From that day on, I began to wonder if it was me who was taken away, would someone come to save me, and if it would be you who came to save me. β
"You know, watching you kill like crazy for Xiaohuang in the Dark Moon Tower, I've been ...... for a long time I already liked you! Why didn't you notice it at all! If it weren't for you, why would I put up with the dry air on the ground? If it weren't for you, I would have gone back to the imperial capital to seize power! Why didn't you notice it, you bastard, why did you ...... it?"
Wang Ming couldn't say a word, what Xinglian said was not that he didn't notice it, but because he didn't fully perceive it, even if he perceived something, he just thought it was his own illusion and didn't pay enough attention to it.
He carefully recalled the details of the Star Ripple Table, and found that it was indeed as she said, she had no need to stay by his side at all, and with her strength, even if he wanted to stop her, he couldn't bind her to his side. With her bloodline and identity, she can live well in Xihai, and there is no need to bear the wrath of Heavenly Mountain here.
"You don't have to stay with me, really, there's no need to delay yourself for me. β
Wang Ming replied sincerely.
Resentment began to appear in Xinglian's eyes: "You bastard, if you hadn't kept hinting to me, would I have stayed here? This was the case when I saved Xiaohuang, and it was the same on the way to Rainbow City, why were you so kind to me......"
Wang Ming took a step forward and grabbed Xinglian's shoulder: "Because I hope you can spend every day very happily, although this excuse is ridiculous, but this is what I want, I hope that everyone around me can have happiness." Although you were my enemy at first, I know that you are just trying to think, that you are not the kind of person who would enjoy killing at all, and that you would just seek your own death in the numb killing to bring yourself liberation. β
"I was very distressed at the first sight of you, because you shouldn't be like this, it should be the sun above you, not the rain and haze. β
ββββββββββββ
Yueying leaned against the wall by the door, holding a half-cut toothpick in her mouth: "Coaxed?"
Wang Ming took a long breath: "Alas, girls in these years are really difficult to soak, and I have to use nirvana to deceive them." β
Yue Ying picked up the paper bag in her hand and handed it to Wang Ming, which contained potato chips and shrimp crackers.
Seeing the contents of the paper bag, Wang Ming's outstretched hand hovered in the air.
"Eldest sister, don't play like this, you know I'm a very indecisive person. β
Yueying picked up a shrimp crack and threw it into her mouth: "You'd better learn to be decisive, between potato chips and shrimp crackers, you must choose one." Either break someone's heart. Either hurt two people. Take your pick. β
Wang Ming pinched a piece of potato chips. Put it in front of me and look at it: "How to say, both are delicious, I want to eat both, but if I only choose one, maybe I will really give up the opportunity to choose." β
"You can also choose to give up, but remember that there is no regret medicine in the world, and if you do give up, I can't guarantee that there will be other potato chips and shrimp crackers on the road ahead. β
Stuff the chips back into the paper bag. Wang Ming turned out the window and looked at the blue sky of Rainbow City, he said his psychological words: "I don't know what they like about me, anyway, I don't think I have anything good, except for being beautiful and a little stronger, I think I'm ordinary." They should find their true happiness and not waste time on me. β
"Besides, Xiaohuang is still young, and Xinglian and Xiaohuang are not waste wood humans like me who can only live for dozens of years. Even if they could overcome it, I couldn't stand a seventy or eighty-year-old man lying in his arms with a girl in her early twenties. β
Tsukizakura stretched out her slender hand. Press on Wang Ming's head: "It's very good to think about others, but you also have to think about yourself, if you only think about Xiaohuang and Xinglian, how can they go carelessly? Or are they all people who don't care about your feelings in your eyes?"
"No...... Not really!"
Rubbing Wang Ming's head, the hair that gradually grew became entangled in Yueying's hand: "Then you have to fight for happiness for yourself, human life is very short, you have been wandering and confused, but you can't find happiness in your life!"
Wang Ming nodded.
"I understand, I will fight for my own happiness! Thank you, big sister!"
Yueying rubbed his head with satisfaction: "So, have you decided which one you want to choose?"
Wang Ming smiled confidently: "I've already thought about it, of course it's a choice...... Big sister, you!"
ββββββββββββ
Disappointed, Tsukizakura walked back to her room and sat down on the fluffy bed.
Wang Ming vividly expressed the confusion that belonged to this age, and he didn't ask anything for a long time.
Someone: "If possible, I'd like to ...... I want to open a harem!"
But how can this kind of thing be solved so lightly? Even in the harem, Xinglian and Yuhuang have to be in a certain order.
Yue Ying suddenly had some hope that Wang Ming would be a little more evil, as long as he could be ruthless, then after stipulating the rules of the harem, Xing Lian and Yu Huang would be able to take it all.
"You will go all the way to the end on the road full of firewood knives in the harem!"
Unable to bear the chaotic thoughts in her head, Tsukizakura couldn't help but scold.
"But speaking of which, the larger the harem, the more singles there are, right?"
No matter when, Yueying doesn't forget to complain......
At the dinner table, Xinglian said his plan: "I have already decided, I will go to the Twilight Front to fulfill the contract for Timia. β
Wang Ming silently smeared the condensed milk on the bread, sandwiched a piece of cheese, and put it on the plate in front of Yu Huang: "Don't even think about it, that's the contract I signed, don't want to take everything away alone." β
Yueying pointed to the end of the parchment scroll: "We still have more than two months to prepare, don't rush now, we'll talk about it then." β
The Grim Reaper's pact was to reach the twilight front by November 11 and hold on for as long as possible.
Cangyang took out a large pot with his hands with heat-insulated gloves, walked to the table, and put down the pot: "If you believe my calculations, then we'd better assemble an army and go over, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of a single unit is, it can't compare to a formed army." β
Yue Ying smiled with satisfaction: "It is worthy of the three nos, Cangyang's mention yΓ¬ is the only constructive word today." β
"So what are we going to do next?, go to the streets to recruit soldiers?" asked Tolia curiously.
Yue Ying smiled and shook her head: "No, no, no, do you know how expensive the soldier's salary is now? What we have to recruit is not a militia, if we want to survive on the twilight front, at least we must be veterans who have experienced fierce battles, and the salary of those senior soldiers is enough to eat up the financial reserves of Cangyue...... Well, we don't have any financial reserves. β
Wang Ming clasped his fingers on the table: "Then the top priority is to find a cheap and powerful source of disease, right? Why can't you throw money into the barracks and directly create high-level troops......?"
Yu Huang pondered for a long time, and finally interjected, "I do have an idea. β
Wang Ming: "What?"
"We raised an army once upon a time, a long time ago. β
"Yes? Why don't I remember?"
"Yes, and they've already driven their troops to Rainbow City. β
As he spoke, Yu Huang lifted the two balls in his hand from under the table.
"Boss Wang Ming!" *2
HΓ€agen-Dazs and Tiramisu, two slimes, one black and one white, are being pinched in the hands of the feathered phoenix.
"Forget it, I'd better go to the outskirts of the city and hire goblins and kobolds......"
Cangyang pushed the glasses that didn't exist: "If you are willing to authorize, I can build a first-class army with first-class combat power for you at a low price." The premise is that you have to be thick-skinned. β
ββββββββββββ (To be continued......)
