Chapter 1065: Three-Day Battle with the Mother Vine
Kiss? Still kiss?
I, after all, have a reputation to uphold—don't I need face?
And with so many juniors watching?
Turning his head to look at Ye Zhenguo's wrinkled old face once more,
a wave of sourness directly surged up in Li Mingshan's throat, and he sprayed it all over Ye Zhenguo's face!
(◞･᷄ㅂ･᷅)(థཀథ|||) Blech~
"No can do, Old Ye. In broad daylight, under the clear sky, I really can't bring myself to do it!"
"I can't get past that mental hurdle. Some things, once done, there's no turning back!"
Ye Zhenguo wiped the sourness off his face.
"And you even spat? Am I really that nauseating? You kissing me or not?"
"If not, I'll spill everything you've done!"
Li Mingshan's heart skipped a beat — could he really know about my dealings with the Sacred Star?
So he probed: "Wh… what things?"
Ye Zhenguo glared: "Don't think I don't know about you teleporting into the women's bathhouse locker room to peek!"
Li Mingshan: !!!
"And you even hid a young girl's little vest… mmp!"
Before he could finish, Li Mingshan exploded. Without a word, he stood up, cupped Ye Zhenguo's wrinkled face in his hands, and planted a kiss right on his mouth!
=͟͟͞͞(◞꒪3꒪)(ʘ̆❥ʘ̆)
Shutting him up directly!
At that moment, the two old men were locked lip-to-lip!
The whole crowd erupted in exclamations, flashbulbs blinding bright. Many young girls made disgusted "Eww~" sounds.
(Eww~) Eww~
It was as if time itself had frozen!
After the kiss, Li Mingshan's face was black as coal: "Shut up! I'll kiss! That good enough now?"
Ye Zhenguo's head was spinning. I told you to kiss, but not on the lips!
Remembering the sensation just now, Ye Zhenguo felt dazed. His eyes darted away, and his old face actually turned red!
(๐︶.̮︶๐)…
Li Mingshan exploded: "Why the hell are you blushing? You told me to kiss!"
Ye Zhenguo's expression hardened. Since it's already come to this, I'm going all out!
"Kiss a few more times—cover my face full of prints. Otherwise, I'll expose all your old secrets!"
Li Mingshan ground his teeth. You old bastard, threatening me?
Fine, kiss it is!
So he went at Ye Zhenguo's face, planting a dozen lip prints.
By now, the people watching Li Mingshan had looks that had changed completely.
Old Li seemed all proper, but he was no saint either!
Is that how Space Systems always are?
"Little Nan? You never did stuff like that, did you?"
Jiangnan chuckled disdainfully: "Hah, how could I? If I want to see, I usually just look directly, or turn myself into a young girl and blend in."
Everyone facepalmed. Yours seems even worse?
Ye Zhenguo's face was covered in lip prints. Li Mingshan's expression stiffened.
Now, a long line had formed behind Ye Zhenguo, everyone waiting eagerly for Li Mingshan to kiss them.
ጿጿጿጿጿጿ(̿▀̿❥▀̿̿)̄
Li Mingshan was bewildered. Am I the one out of touch, or are you all just too perverted?
Wang Dalei eagerly shoved his face forward: "My turn! Uncle Li, kiss me!"
Li Mingshan scowled: "Have you all gone mad? Isn't this enough?"
Wang Dalei's expression turned serious: "Uncle Li! Even though it's just a few kisses, this is making a contribution to the country!"
Li Mingshan glared. Bullshit! Do you have to take it to that level?
His gaze fell on Yang Jian, only to find Yang Jian also in line, nodding expectantly.
Li Mingshan sighed deeply. Fine, I'll make the contribution. It's not like kissing loses me anything anyway.
I'm going all out!
So he began stamping kisses on everyone's faces frantically.
Seven or eight kisses per person, until even his lips hurt.
"Hey, why is it all grown men in line? Where are the girls? Why aren't they queuing up? Grandpa Li doesn't mind!"
Ye Zhenguo curled his lip.
(￢д￢) "You wish! You don't mind them, but they mind you!"
"The girls all got kissed by my Brother Jiang. These are the leftovers for you!"
Li Mingshan: ???
You kissed all the young girls and left me a bunch of old men to kiss?
Is there no justice in this world?
[From Li Mingshan: Resentment +1000!]
[From Li Mingshan…]
"Scram, scram, scram! I'm not kissing anymore!"
Jiangnan chuckled, stepping forward to hand Li Mingshan a basket of canned durian pulp.
"Brother Li, you're still vigorous in your old age, daring to handle so many at once? Tsk tsk tsk~"
Li Mingshan was still clueless.
Then Ye Zhenguo bellowed: "Tiancong Action Team! Move out!"
The next instant, intense spatial fluctuations erupted. The entire team vanished from in front of Li Mingshan.
The vast wasteland was left with only Li Mingshan, as if they had never been there.
Li Mingshan's eyes bulged. He was completely dumbfounded.
Σ(‖ര口ര)
Wh… what just happened?
How could they all teleport?
In the blink of an eye, more than half of Li Mingshan's spiritual energy was drained.
The next second, it ran completely dry. Even his cheeks became sunken.
Hah~ (›꒪ﾛ꒪‹)
Li Mingshan was shocked in an instant. His gaze fell on the basket of durian pulp.
He didn't know what was going on, but he had clearly been tricked!
He quickly opened a can of durian pulp, but was immediately gagged by the stench.
Tears streamed from the fumes.
But seeing that the Void Sea's severed barrier was about to collapse, Li Mingshan gritted his teeth and stuffed a mouthful of durian pulp.
"Blech~ St… stinks to death! Is this crap? Blech~"
His spiritual energy filled back up, used to maintain the barrier. But the next moment, the just-refilled energy was drained again.
Everyone Li Mingshan had kissed was using his spiritual energy!
Even eating durian pulp couldn't sustain such a drain!
[From Li Mingshan: Resentment +1000!]
Despite the horrifying stench, he had to keep eating to maintain the barrier.
This bastard was forcing him to eat crap!
Li Mingshan's heart was in ruin. I'm never randomly kissing people again!
[From Li Mingshan…]
……
Inside the Tiancong Force Field, after a few days of idle time, the thirty thousand Dragon Abyss and Dark Night soldiers had grown fat from inactivity.
Then, led by Yang Jian, the Tiancong Action Team suddenly appeared under the Tiancong Azure Vine, faces brimming with ecstatic excitement.
"Haha! Gotta say, that feeling is really something!"
"No kidding? Didn't have to move myself—it moved on its own!"
"Truly indescribably wonderful. I feel like I'm completely immersed, can't pull myself out!"
"Next time, we're going to him again! That skill is unmatched!"
The ones left behind in the Tiancong Force Field—Wei Dabizi and the others—stared at Ye Zhenguo, Yang Jian, and the rest covered in lip prints, completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Yang Jian waved: "Let's go! Enter Fanguo territory, slaughter the vine! This time, we don't return until we win!"
Wei Dabizi and the others, filled with excitement, quickly followed. The Tiancong Azure Vine, now emboldened by support, suddenly perked up.
The massive main stalk, over five hundred meters tall, rumbled along behind Jiangnan and the others.
As soon as they entered the uninhabited zone of Fanguo, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
The same spiritual ruin outbreak had occurred here, yet not a single spirit beast was in sight.
The ground was littered with desiccated corpses. Blood-red vine roots over a hundred meters thick lay strewn everywhere.
Even some spiritual ruins were packed full of Mother Vine roots.
The moment they detected the group entering their territory, countless vine roots surged toward them.
Ye Zhenguo glared: "Pikachu… no! Dragon's Might!"
Instantly, a powerful repulsive force radiated from Ye Zhenguo, blasting the oncoming vine roots away.
They were kept at a constant distance of ten thousand meters.
In the distance, a Mother Vine stood over a kilometer tall, like a world tree, wildly thrashing its vine roots. The scene was terrifying.
Ye Zhenguo's forehead beaded with sweat: "Nobody told me this thing was this huge!"
"Even with teleportation, we might not be enough, right?"
He turned back and saw Wang Dalei and Chen Daoyi already approaching Jiangnan for equipment.
Having tasted the sweetness, they had no intention of fighting barehanded—they had to get a full set of divine gear first.
Ye Zhenguo quickly joined in.
Jiangnan smiled gently, handing each of them a bottle of fake alcohol, Dali 2.0, plus Nuclear Milk.
Ye Zhenguo's eye twitched: "Dali again? Damn!"
So he was going to turn into a lamp again?
Wang Dalei laughed heartily: "Drink up! This Mother Vine is troublesome. Don't drop the ball again!"
Ye Zhenguo looked torn, then steeled himself. Typhoon or lamp, whatever!
"Say, what's this Nuclear Milk stuff? Strong?"
Wang Dalei and Chen Daoyi both twitched at the corners of their mouths, exchanged glances, and everything was understood without words.
"Real strong, Uncle Ye. Just drink it with confidence. One gulp and the world goes nuclear."
"This is my favorite—brings back memories of those passionate burning years!"
His grandmother's! Can't let just the two of us be embarrassed. If we're going to die from shame, let's all die together!
Ye Zhenguo's eyes lit up at "passionate burning." Passionate burning?
Without another word, he chugged the beer, Dali, and Nuclear Milk, all down the hatch.
That was truly a belly full of mischief.
With a few "ripping" sounds, all three transformed into red Muscle Devils, countdowns appearing in their eyes.
Blazing light erupted from the tops of their heads—three suns in the sky!
They burst into laughter, teleporting directly beneath the Mother Vine's main stalk.
Their bodies clung to the Mother Vine like three strategically placed bombs.
"Teleport Nuclear Blast!"
