Chapter 1630: Hungry Ah
After charging Mi Ye and Bai Kou, it used up about half of Jiangnan's resources!
The ten-colored Creation Particles Jiangnan had left in his hands were probably only enough for one person!
If Bai Kou and Mi Ye both broke through successfully, the Human Faction would have three Transcendent Realm experts!
But Jiangnan felt that wasn't enough; he needed to get a few more up there, at least?
However, there were too few Dao Heaven Ten Star ceilings!
Bati hadn't arrived yet, and though Kuo Po was strong, he wasn't a ceiling either!
Freya hadn't reached the Ten Star level either, and since she was a healer, her attack power was definitely not as strong as Odin or the bad sister.
She wasn't the first choice. Quinn was strong, but Jiangnan wasn't familiar with him…
In fact, among the Dao Heavens of Hua Xia, they should at least promote one to Transcendent Realm to hold the fort!
But unfortunately, guys like Big Thunder and Brother Ye weren't giving it their all, and Old Li had joined the Saint Star…
He could only save them for now, see who was suitable?
But Odin looked at him with a threatening expression:
(๑•̀益•́) "That being said, even if you don't want it, what happened in this room today must stay buried in your stomach!"
"If it leaks out, gets known by others, or those bastards from Saint Star find out…"
"Bai Kou and Mi Ye will definitely be assassinated, and my good big brother, as the one who handed out the keys, won't have a way out either!"
"If I find out you slipped up, I, Odin, will be the first to kill you!"
Baldr's mouth twitched:
(￢_￢٥) "I know the gravity of the situation. No need to scare me. I won't do something that harms others without benefiting myself."
Jiangnan nodded. Actually, using the Small Gloves to delete Baldr's memory would be the most reliable, but to prevent Baldr from later changing his mind and wanting the Creation Particles again, they had to settle for this for now!
Then Jiangnan fed them a bunch of Marrow Cleansing Fruits. Although it might not improve their talent much, it was a gesture of goodwill.
He also equipped them with a series of upgrade packs to speed up cultivation, like Thumping Heart Pop Rocks and Black Garlic.
From now on, their task was to become Transcendent as soon as possible and ignore everything else!
As for Odin, Jiangnan equipped him with a large emergency pack full of cheating tools! It contained all kinds of cheating items inside!
This was to prevent Odin from being ambushed and killed, and Jiangnan even grabbed a handful of forbidden items like the Lucky Little Cherry for him!
And he repeatedly instructed:
(๑•̀皿•́)و "Don't eat the Little Cherry unless it's a life-or-death crisis! If you eat it, within half an hour, not even a real god could kill you!"
"After half an hour, as lucky as you were, you'll be just as unlucky! Not even a god can save you, but your good big brother can!"
Odin hugged the cheating emergency pack Jiangnan had given him, looking deeply moved!
-`(*꒦ິ﹏꒦ີ)´-
This good big brother was worth acknowledging!
With this emergency pack, Odin felt a bit more confident.
After giving everyone the Creation Particles, Bai Kou and Mi Ye prepared to return to Lan Xing.
After all, they needed to go back to oversee the situation and cultivate. Odin also returned to Lan Xing to hold down the fort.
He had to juggle both the Moon and Lan Xing, since he was the only one who could fight now.
As for Baldr, he took the elevator straight to the moon core!
That guy was a loner—one person full, the whole family not hungry.
He planned to guard the Origin Spark and live there!
Whoever wanted to destroy it would have to deal with him, since Baldr was counting on the star ignition!
With the God-Slaying Spell Array and Baldr guarding it, security was fine. If the Saint Star tried a sneak attack, Odin could come to support at any time.
Some Dao Heavens from various countries stayed on the Moon to push development there. The Alliance base also began to expand aggressively.
Believing that Little Yueyue would soon spread across the entire Moon, transforming it into a planet suitable for human habitation.
The rest of the Dao Heavens went back to their own homes and their own mothers, since there were also a bunch of things to deal with on Lan Xing.
The Bei family was still working overtime, trying to ignite the star as soon as possible.
But Jiangnan didn't plan to return to Lan Xing anytime soon. Instead, he wanted to wait until the star was ignited before going back, so he'd feel more confident.
Just after seeing off Odin, the bad sister, and the others, Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, Wu Liang, and Xiong Er rushed over hugging the Banknote Insect.
(٥ớ﹏ờ) "Xiao Nan? Do you have time? She…"
Jiangnan rubbed his eyes, deep fatigue showing in them.
(๑⁼̴̇ࡇก̀) "Hmm? What's up? If it's nothing important, I'll sleep first. I'm so tired…"
After finishing all the tasks on his hands, Jiangnan couldn't hold on any longer. It felt like two mountains were hanging on his eyelids.
He just lay sideways on the ground, curled up, pillowing his head on his arm, and his breathing gradually became even.
ZZZ～_(˘﹃˘｣∠)_
With his mind relaxed, Jiangnan soon fell into dreamland.
Zhong Yingxue swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She walked over, picked Jiangnan up, moved him to the sofa, and let him pillow his head on her thigh, so he'd be more comfortable.
Her small hand gently kneaded Jiangnan's earlobe. Sure enough, after a short while, Jiangnan's furrowed brows relaxed.
He turned over, his face rubbing against Zhong Yingxue's belly…
Xia Yao's mouth twitched: (٥⁰̷̴_⁰̷̴) "Uh… are you sure Xiao Nan is really asleep?"
He's way too good at nuzzling! I've never even gotten to nuzzle!
Zhong Yingxue gently stroked Jiangnan's cheek, her eyes full of heartache.
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷～ᵒ̴̶̷) "Xiao Nan has been busy the whole time without any sleep. Let him rest well!"
"Even if he can sleep for a while, it's good."
The room fell into a long silence.
Xia Yao hugged the Banknote Insect with some worry.
(◞‸◟) "Xuexue, we've been cultivating very fast, but I still feel like we can't keep up!"
"If something happens next time, will we not be able to help at all? I don't want that."
Zhong Yingxue bit her lip: "We're not fast enough! We have to work even harder!"
Wu Liang nodded vigorously.
(⌯ಠ(エ)ಠ)੭ "Starlight! No matter what, we have to reach Starlight. Diamond is nowhere near enough!"
Jiang Ning beside them couldn't bear to watch. Slow? Slower than what? At the same Diamond level, aside from Jiangnan, would anyone actually be a match for you guys?
Among the same age group, most are still Platinum, right? Diamonds are extremely rare!
And you guys are already aiming for Starlight?
But Jiangnan was too outstanding, so outstanding that he overshadowed everyone else's brilliance, so outstanding that even the slightest slacking would leave them unable to even see his shadow…
Zhong Yingxue bit her lip, her gaze resolute: "Even if… even if we can share a little of Xiao Nan's burden, that's good!"
Xia Yao nodded heavily, looking at Jiangnan's sleeping profile, her eyes full of tenderness.
Perhaps only at times like this would one realize that Jiangnan wasn't the majestic commander, bearing the weight of the star ignition and humanity's future…
He was just a big boy in his twenties, an age that should have been carefree and full of life.
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Sleep peacefully, little cutie. I will work hard to catch up! Definitely!"
Jiangnan: _(⁼̴̤̆﹃⁼̴̤̆ૢ｣∠)_ "Goose heh～ mine～ all mine～ slurp～"
Zhong Yingxue: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄…
This Pixiu, don't drool while sleeping, okay? You're getting it all over my pants!
Those who know would say it's drool; those who don't would think I…
O(⑉˃᷄﹏˂᷅⑉)O
But just then, the Banknote Insect in Xia Yao's arms suddenly opened its eyes, bloodshot all over!
(๐͡⚆‸͡⚆๐)
"Rumble!"
A thunderous roar echoed from its belly!
It opened its small mouth!
(๐Ф口Ф) "Hungry ah～"
The next instant, an immense suction force erupted from its mouth!
The space around even collapsed from the suction. A tremor sounded, startling everyone in the building out!
Then the entire building shattered into pieces, sucked into the Banknote Insect's mouth and eaten!
The room everyone was in suddenly became open-air!
Xia Yao screamed in fright:
(º口º۶)۶ "It's awake! The Banknote Insect is awake!"
Startled, Xia Yao quickly raised the Banknote Insect.
The Banknote Insect kept wriggling its body, making cooing sounds.
The next moment, it suddenly spotted Jiangnan sleeping in Zhong Yingxue's arms!
(ʘ͡口ʘ͡ꐦ)
[From ??? Resentment Value +1001?]
[From ???...]
It directly broke free from Xia Yao's embrace, opening its mouth wide!
Chomp! It bit down on Jiangnan's head!
Daring to spank baby's butt, and giving baby back pats!
I'll bite you to death!
In an instant, the anger it had suppressed for 24 hours all vented on Jiangnan, causing the resentment value to max out!
It gnawed on Jiangnan's head with relish!
It even drew blood!
Zhong Yingxue screamed in panic: "(ºДº*) "Quick! Pull it off! Or Xiao Nan will be devoured!"
Xia Yao grabbed the Banknote Insect's two legs and pulled hard!
But the Banknote Insect wouldn't let go! It bit down relentlessly!
Protective of its food! It growled!
Jiangnan, groggy, finally woke up, feeling something sticky on his face.
(།ૢ།⁼̴།།～།⁼̴།།) Huh?
He sat up, which lifted the Banknote Insect along with him!
He reached out and wiped his face.
(།།･᷄།ὢ།།･᷅)୨ "What's this wet stuff?"
Looking at the bright red on his fingers, Jiangnan suddenly snapped to attention!
Why was his face covered in blood? Blood everywhere?
And this sticky stuff was drool?
He looked up and saw the Banknote Insect with its mouth wide open, frantically gnawing on his head!
Drool flowing freely!
Jiangnan shuddered violently!
Damn? The Banknote Insect was awake? How could he have forgotten this?
When he used it back then, he hadn't considered the consequences at all!
Because the one worrying was the Jiangnan 24 hours later—what did it have to do with the current me?
But now… I am the Jiangnan 24 hours later!
(།།•̆།益།•̆།) "Let go! You let go! Why are you gnawing on my head?!"
If it really wanted to, this one bite would take off my head, right?
So it just wanted revenge?
No matter how Jiangnan pulled, the Banknote Insect wouldn't let go!
Furious, Jiangnan teleported away, wiping the blood off his face!
Escaping the tiger's mouth!
The Banknote Insect looked unwilling, its big eyes locking onto Jiangnan again!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly pulled out a Small Stool to threaten it!
╧╧٩(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "You… try biting me again? I'll knock your teeth out!"
The Banknote Insect shuddered, immediately gave up on Jiangnan, turned around, and crawled on the ground, wriggling like a caterpillar!
In an instant, it rushed out of the room, crawling very fast!
Jiangnan: !!!
ﾚ(ﾟ皿ﾟ;)ﾍ "Chase!"
