Chapter 1298: So Busy?
Jiangnan felt like his little heart was pounding so hard it was about to jump out of his throat!
This... how could anyone handle this?
Jiangnan's mind began frantically imagining the upcoming scene!
His face couldn't help but blush!
That bad sister really was craving him!
So he flexed his calf muscles, signaling that he got the message.
Miye twirled her hair, the corners of her mouth twitching upward unconsciously.
The meeting ended quickly, and the rest would be handled by Senna and Yang Jian.
Jiangnan and his group were also the first guests in a thousand years at the Lantis Lingxu.
Alice warmly entertained them, leading them to the best guest room to rest.
After a full day of intense battle, everyone was exhausted.
They decided to rest for the night and make plans in the morning.
Without a second word, Jiangnan was about to dash to his room to make some preparations!
But Senna called him back.
Senna rubbed his big hands together, raised his eyebrows at Jiangnan, and chuckled slyly.
ʃƪ(›´ヮ`‹) "Jiang Tribulation Envoy, I brought over three hundred wives this time. With my personal ability alone, I really can't take care of them all. How about you..."
Jiangnan: (|||˃᷄3˂᷅) "Pfft–"
Jiangnan coughed up a mouthful of seawater, his face full of horror!
‼(•'口'•۶)۶ "What do you mean? If you can't handle them yourself, you can't just hand them over to me either, right? This... wouldn't this be a total mess?"
"Even though I have the ability here, known as the Iron Kidney War God, I don't take every job!"
"If I actually helped you take care of them, how would I ever face Hedi in the future?"
Senna's face darkened upon hearing this!
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄
Holy crap, who said anything about handing them to you to take care of? What are you thinking?
These are wives I worked hard to marry! Why would I give them to you?
This kid really does have designs on my wives!
(٥›･᷄ㅂ･᷅‹) "No, no! It's chives! I wanted some chives to eat!"
"Ever since I was hurt by that bald nun, I've been losing my strength. I can only barely get by with chives!"
Jiangnan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
(︶д︶٥) "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
With that, he pulled out a basket of chives and three bottles of Dali, handing them to Senna with a grin.
(๑¯ิꇴ¯ิ) "Eat as much as you want, chives are plenty. May you, old brother, never wither with chives! Persist through chives! Grow stronger with chives!"
Wang Dalei beside him nearly choked to death!
Holy crap, "grow stronger with chives"? You really didn't waste that lesson!
Senna looked grateful, patted Jiangnan on the shoulder, picked up the chive basket, and rushed off to the battlefield!
Jiangnan, meanwhile, dashed back to his room in a flash, full of anticipation!
The room was decorated everywhere with glowing seaweed, and through the window, he could see the wonderful underwater world of Lantis!
Fish were even swimming outside the window!
At the center of the room was a clam shell bed, made from a giant open clam shell, with a soft mattress!
A white curtain hung from the bed, swaying in the water!
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva. This felt so right!
This was his first time sleeping at the bottom of the sea!
(ﾉ).̫(ヾ) "Midnight? Hehe~ I still need to prepare a bit! Give me... pfft–"
Before he could finish his sentence, he turned around and saw Mila and Lan standing on either side of him!
(･᷄◡･᷅ο)(•︠～•︡｡)
They tilted their heads, looking at Jiangnan with confusion!
Mila: (๑•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Hmm~ What are you going to do at midnight?"
Lan scratched her head: ୧(๐ᵒ̴̶̷～ᵒ̴̶̷) "Sleeping in the sea, you probably don't need to bathe before sleeping, right?"
Jiangnan covered his face. How could he forget about this?
Lan and Mila were supposed to sleep with him! If that bad sister launched a night raid and they ran into each other, it would be a disaster!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious.
(๐･᷅◠･᷄) "Ahem~ I sense that the Holy Star will launch a sneak attack tonight, extremely dangerous!"
"It's best if I face this danger alone. I'll be careful! You two sleep with Sister Yaohong tonight! Be good, okay~"
Mila tilted her head: "Alright then~ If the Bose body comes, remember to call me! I can help!"
"I won't let them hurt Brother Jiangnan!"
Jiangnan covered his face. Ahhh~ Why did he feel such an inexplicable sense of guilt?!
After sending Mila and Lan away, Jiangnan lay on the bed, feeling his conscience taking a ton of punishment!
As midnight approached, Miye walked lightly down the corridor, sneaking straight toward Jiangnan's room!
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Just then, Miye heard footsteps and was startled!
She shot out spider silk, hanging herself from the corridor ceiling to hide!
｜╹‸╹)
She saw Qian Benying tiptoeing over!
Miye breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing she wasn't caught! Scared her to death!
If anyone saw the Crimson Queen of the Nightless City sneaking into a man's room so late, where would her queenly dignity go?
But what was that little pink-haired girl doing here?
Could she also be...
Qian Benying snuck up to Jiangnan's door and was about to knock!
Just then, there was a sound of swimming in the corridor!
Qian Benying's fur stood on end! She teleported and hid on the crystal chandelier in the corridor!
｜～•´)?
Alice swayed her fish tail, her pretty face flushed, swimming up to Jiangnan's door!
Qian Benying: ???
What was this little mermaid doing? Could she be...
Just as Alice was about to knock, she heard footsteps from the end of the corridor!
Alice was terrified!
She zapped over to the window, swam outside, and hid behind the wall!
｜˃᷄﹏˂᷅⑉)
Hedi, her face flushed, walked to Jiangnan's door!
She raised her hand and knocked!
"Knock, knock, knock~"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up in the room! The bad sister was here?
He teleported to the door and opened it!
"Hehe~ Just come right in! Why bother knocking!"
As he spoke, he reached out a hand, pulled Hedi into the room amidst her startled yelp, and slammed the door shut!
"Bang!"
Alice: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
Qian Benying: (◦`~´◦)
Miye: (▀̿~▀ꐦ)
Jiangnan's expression froze as he was about to speak in the room!
The Hedi in his arms was so red she looked like she was bleeding. Her body trembled uncontrollably!
(⑉Ծ﹏Ծ⑉)
Jiangnan: ???
Not the bad sister?
"Hedi? Why are you here?"
Hedi blushed: "I... I came to thank you! If it weren't for Brother Jiangnan this time, the Fish Kingdom would have been destroyed!"
"I... I didn't know how to thank you, so I thought... maybe Brother Jiangnan needed... hmm~"
With that, she pouted her lips, looking terrified, and leaned toward Jiangnan's cheek!
(｡°¯᷄3¯᷅)(ʘ̆口ʘ̥̆‖)
Jiangnan: !!!
Hedi was way too cute like this!
Jiangnan flicked her forehead!
"What do you need yarn for? What are you thinking? We're friends! Helping you is only right, and I got benefits too!"
"Don't talk about thanks anymore, unless you don't consider me a friend!"
Hedi clutched her forehead, her eyes red!
୧(⑉Ծ﹏Ծ⑉)୨ "We're friends! But... Brother Jiangnan really doesn't need it?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Need what yarn? Go, go, go! Go back to sleep!"
Hedi's face flushed crimson. Ahhh, this was so embarrassing!
Covering her face, she ran out of the room!
At that moment, the hidden Alice, Qian Benying, and Miye all widened their eyes, watching Hedi run away!
Had she been inside for three minutes or not?
Was Jiangnan that fast?
Seeing Hedi run off, Alice mustered her courage and walked to the door!
"Knock, knock, knock~"
Jiangnan swallowed. Was the bad sister here?
He opened the door and pulled her in!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come in!"
Qian Benying: (ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅)
Miye: (ꐦ▀̿~▀ꐦ)
Jiangnan widened his eyes: (ʘ̆дʘ̥̆ˀ̣ˀ̣) "Alice? Why you?"
Alice fiddled with her fingers, her cheeks flushed!
"You saved Lantis, saved my people! I don't know how to thank you!"
"During the day, I saw you holding it in, that bad... so I came over!"
Jiangnan: (꒪ัε꒪ั*) "Pfft–"
Hedi just left, and now you're here?
"No, no! In a few minutes, I have something important to do! Don't need thanks! It's what I should do!"
Alice quickly said!
(。ớ⌂ờ) "No problem, no problem! It's still in time! Three minutes is enough! I'll do my best!"
"Wasn't Hedi just three minutes too... hmm~"
Realizing she'd let it slip, Alice quickly covered her mouth!
Jiangnan: ???
What do you mean "in time"?
This pearl milk tea lady must have misunderstood something!
Jiangnan's face darkened!
In a few minutes, it would be midnight! The bad sister would be here any second! If she caught Alice in his room, he'd be done for!
He covered his face and said: "Damn three minutes! Hedi and I did nothing! Take this, it's refined blue blood!"
"Eat it later. As the queen of Lantis, your bloodline needs to be pure. Go on, go on!"
With that, he shoved ten detoxifying fruits into Alice's hands!
Alice's eyes reddened, pearls falling nonstop!
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄﹏˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "Wah~ Thank you!"
She opened the door and ran off!
Qian Benying and Miye saw it all!
Qian Benying pursed her lips!
(◦`ε´◦)
Tsk tsk tsk~ What a failure!
That's the second person, and still under three minutes?
Surely no one else would come now?
Jiangnan was frantic! No time left!
He stripped down, pulled out ten packs of Heart-Pounding Pop Rocks, and ate them all. His whole body trembled from the burst!
Then he ate several Bling Bling Puddings!
After that, he pulled out the Crimson Set and started putting it on!
Just as he was dressing...
Suddenly, spatial fluctuations! Qian Benying appeared abruptly in Jiangnan's room!
Their eyes met! Jiangnan's movements froze!
(٥･᷄﹏･᷅)(•́ω•̀٥)
Qian Benying stared at Jiangnan in terror!
The air fell into absolute silence!
