# Chapter 1185: Mural! Ancient Legend?
In the palace grand hall, colored glass reflected the setting sun!
Jiangnan was deeply captivated by the mural on the dome ceiling!
A rich historical aura rushed at him. Even after enduring the baptism of time,
the colors remained vivid, without any fading!
The content of the mural was extremely abstract!
It seemed to depict an incomparably glorious and prosperous kingdom!
A figure holding a scepter sat on the throne!
The gem on the scepter radiated dazzling light, while countless ancient people below prostrated in worship.
Then the mural changed, as if the entire nation held some kind of sacrifice!
That figure even pointed the scepter at the sky!
The next mural changed abruptly — Heaven's Wrath!
A rain of fire filled the sky, huge fireballs fell, massive waves surged skyward, triggering a flood catastrophe!
[Clouds and meteors raining down]
The ancient kingdom was destroyed, everything fell into silence!
The last mural showed the ancient people standing on a cliff, remembering...
Jiangnan scratched his head, a confused expression on his face!
[Scratching head, confused] "What is this painting?"
Emma raised her hand!
[Emma raises hand] "It's said to be the origin of Yu Guo. Many historical documents have been lost, and it can no longer be verified!"
Hai Di smiled: "My father told me when I was little that the person on the throne is our Yu Guo's ancestor~"
"He also said Yu Guo is the descendant of the ancient Lantis Kingdom!"
Jiangnan was stunned. The ancient ruins of Lantis were right at the bottom of the sea belonging to Yu Guo!
It was world-famous, existing even before the spiritual energy revival!
Even now, it still holds unsolved mysteries that cannot be explained!
Was it fabricated by the Sea King? Or did it actually happen?
Just then, two Pocket Rabbits pointed at the mural with extreme excitement, their drool almost flowing out!
[Excited rabbit gestures] "Qiumi qiumi~"
Jiangnan was surprised: [Wide-eyed] "You're saying the pigments used in this mural are made from top-grade spirit materials ground into powder and painted on?"
The Pocket Rabbits nodded frantically. They were extremely sensitive to spirit materials!
If Jiangnan weren't watching, they would definitely scrape the mural off and stuff it into their pockets!
Jiangnan was shocked. A mural painted with spirit material powder?
The modern spiritual energy revival has only been going on for over twenty years, but this mural has existed for who knows how many years!
That means this was left from the last spiritual energy revival?
The masterpiece of ancient spirit warriors?
Lantis was actually a spirit warrior kingdom? Hiss~
Following that reasoning, it's possible Yu Guo did have some connection with the ancient Lantis Kingdom!
So, does what the mural records really exist?
An intense curiosity surged in Jiangnan's heart!
Luobierte: ???
"I'm more curious about how you understand what the rabbits are saying?"
"Unobstructed communication?"
Hai Di checked the time!
[Panicked] "Ah~ The banquet is about to start, I need to go change into my gown!"
"Brother Jiangnan, go get ready too, okay?"
Saying that, she hurriedly left with Luobierte!
Meanwhile, Jiangnan was led by Emma and Una to a mansion that had been prepared in advance!
In the dressing room, Emma carefully selected a suit for Jiangnan!
[Playful smile] "Master! Don't move~ Emma will serve you while you change~"
Jiangnan: !!!
So comprehensive?
A scene that only appears in cartoons was about to happen to him?
He looked down at his big shorts and small short sleeves!
[Embarrassed] "No need to change, right? I don't like wearing suits, they're uncomfortable!"
Emma pouted: "No, everyone else is wearing them. Yu Guo is a land of etiquette. The banquet will be attended by princesses, princes, and important figures like nobles!"
"You'll be laughed at like this. Leave it to Emma. I'll definitely dress you up as the most handsome person in the room!"
Jiangnan looked helpless: [Sighing] "Alright then~"
[Giggling] "Hehe~ Una?"
Una nodded coolly, placed her hand on her black blade, and instantly drew it!
[Una draws sword] Shua~
A cold light flashed in the air. Jiangnan felt a chill on his body!
His big shorts and small short sleeves were cut into strips of cloth!
In an instant, only a pair of Hulk Brand Shorts remained on him!
His body, covered in lip prints, was completely exposed to the air!
His chiseled muscles made the two maids' eyes go wide, unable to look away!
Una swallowed her saliva, while Emma's face turned even redder!
[Both staring with wide eyes]
Master not only likes "more teachings," but also likes "planting strawberries"?
Got it!
As battle maids, insight must be trained. One must always understand what the master is thinking and loves!
Meeting all the master's needs — Emma was studying frantically!
Jiangnan: ???
The process of changing clothes was nothing like what I imagined, hey?
Una's swordsmanship had some skill!
Even though everything on me was cheap stuff from a street stall, there's no need to just cut it to pieces, right?
Emma snickered: "Master's figure is really nice to look at. A natural clothes rack. Come, open your arms~"
As she spoke, she slid the shirt onto Jiangnan's body!
Meanwhile, Una had also chosen a princess dress for Mila. Mila giggled with joy!
After all, which girl doesn't dream of being a princess?
Una always had a stern expression, but she showed a smile to Mila!
[Smiling] "Little friend? You're this young and already at Gold rank? What ability is it?"
Mila said sweetly: "I'm a Recovery-type. Big sister, why are you wrapped in bandages? Are you injured?"
"Do you want Mila to heal you?"
Una smiled: "I'm a Shadow-type. I wrap bandages because I'm allergic to ultraviolet rays~"
"Recovery-type? Mila is really impressive!"
During the changing process, Jiangnan kept observing Una from the corner of his eye!
Was she trying to extract information? Or just casual conversation?
But with Mila's cunning, she naturally wouldn't reveal everything!
Jiangnan said casually: "You're right about that. Mila is a Light-type. During the day, her healing power is super strong — she can even resurrect the dead because of the sun!"
"But at night, she can't do it. Sigh~"
Mila was startled, then pouted!
[Pouting] "Exactly! I hate nighttime!"
Una smiled: "That's still very impressive!"
In that short time, Emma had already dressed Jiangnan in the suit!
She straightened his bow tie, then stared at Jiangnan's handsome face, momentarily frozen!
Master is way too handsome, right?
How can a human be this handsome? There's absolutely no flaw on his face, okay?
Jiangnan usually doesn't pay much attention to his appearance, but as the saying goes, clothes make the man!
Wearing the suit, Jiangnan's handsomeness was enough to fulfill every girl's fantasy, okay?
Jiangnan waved his hand: [Impassive] "Hey~ A certain maid's drool is flowing out!"
"Clothes changed?"
Emma quickly wiped her drool: "Done, done~ Hmm, master's hair is a bit long. Hasn't been cut for a while, right?"
"Emma will trim it for you, okay?"
Jiangnan was surprised: [Eyebrow raised] "You can cut hair too? So comprehensive?"
Emma patted her chest, full of confidence!
[Proud] "Haircutting is what I'm best at. My dream is to become a hairstylist, you know~"
Jiangnan: ???
A maid who doesn't want to become a hairstylist isn't a good lolita?
Jiangnan tugged at his bangs — they were indeed a bit long, almost covering his eyes!
"Alright, just trim it a little~"
Emma got even more excited: "Got it! Leave it to Emma!"
Then Emma pulled out two alien greatswords from behind her!
With a gust of wind, the sword guards combined together to form a giant pair of scissors!
She aimed at Jiangnan's head and snipped!
[Scissors snipping toward head]
Jiangnan: [Eyes wide in shock] !!!
Damn!
"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? You're going to cut my hair with that thing? Or are you trying to cut my head off?"
True • haircut?
Was the "haircut" Emma mentioned just now cutting off a person's head?
That's too terrifying, okay?
Are you the mole sent by Wuzi?
Emma looked on the verge of tears!
[Near tears, holding scissors] "Master, you don't trust me? I'm super skilled! I won't cut you!"
Jiangnan's eye twitched. Seeing Emma's pitiful look, he couldn't bear to refuse!
"Fine, go ahead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crack" sound, and a lock of hair was cut off by the scissors!
The giant scissors were as light as nothing in Emma's hands. As she worked, strands of hair drifted down one by one!
Emma's face flushed with excitement — she seemed to really enjoy the process of cutting things!
Jiangnan was completely stunned. Did battle maids all have special skills?
This was even more impressive than when he shaved his head with a square sky halberd, okay?
...
At this moment, people had already arrived at the palace banquet hall!
Many gorgeously dressed princes and princesses arrived one after another!
Princess No. 47, Prince No. 98 — all of them came, since this was the banquet to welcome the Hua Xia Commissioner!
Some nobles and earls also brought their own sons and daughters, partly to expand their social networks!
If their child happened to hit it off with a royal prince or princess and marry, that would mean they had formed a connection with the Atlas family!
In noble circles, banquets and balls were a very mainstream social tool!
Even some large financial groups and international chambers of commerce were present!
The scene was filled with joy!
"Haha, with the Pocket Rabbits settling in our Yu Guo, setting aside military matters, just the maritime shipping alone is a huge help!"
"But I heard there was a bad assassination incident during the day — the Mofei Iron Tower was demolished. Good thing the Hua Xia Commissioner doesn't mind!"
"This time, the person sent by Hua Xia has a big background. He's made a name for himself internationally at such a young age. We have to be careful with our words!"
"Devil Jiang! They say the reason Hua Xia was able to suppress the Western Frontier spiritual disaster so quickly is all because of Jiangnan!"
Many people came just to get acquainted with Jiangnan!
Just then, Hai Di walked in. She wore a light blue gown, with her fair lotus root arms and a large expanse of her beautiful back exposed!
The hem of her skirt was decorated with blooming blue flowers. She had specifically styled her hair!
Like a sea fairy, breathtakingly beautiful!
Although she was the crown princess, Hai Di's appearance didn't attract much attention!
But right then, Shaxia walked in gracefully in high heels!
A pure white low-cut gown, the skirt trailing behind her. Her blue long hair hung down her back!
Around her neck hung an extremely dazzling sapphire necklace — the Heart of the Ocean!
Instantly, she captured everyone's gaze!
Countless financial groups and marquises came forward to chat, greeting her with smiles. In an instant, she became the center of the banquet!
Forming a stark contrast with Hai Di, who stood aside!
