# Chapter 1652: Precautions Taken, Yet the Enemy Came from Within

When night fell, shadowy figures with red glowing eyes shot out from the nursing home!

These figures were extremely agile, making no sound whatsoever as they moved across the ground!

They were like bandits, carrying off everything they could see, like worker ants leaving the nest to forage!

Everything from the steel plates used to pave the playground, protective wall panels, and rooftops—

Down to the stone steps and bricks used for paving paths—they carried it all back to the nursing home!

The only thing Xing Cheng needed to do was sit there, waiting for the grandparents to feed her!

She accepted everything without refusal!

All the old pioneers had joined the foraging team!

One by one, items from the academy disappeared. In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left to dismantle, except for a few frequently used buildings that remained untouched!

At this moment, Zhao Dezhu and Wang Zong were still searching everywhere for things Xing Cheng could eat!

Their eyes simultaneously fell upon the men's dormitory building!

(‧̣̥̇͡°ก͡°) "Th-this... this isn't okay, right? In the dead of winter, what if they have nowhere to stay?"

(◞¬益¬) "Tch~ Stupid! Just demolish one building, won't that work? Let them squeeze together and sleep! Besides! A bunch of strapping young lads, are they afraid of the cold or something?"

The two exchanged a glance!

"Let's go!"

...

Qin Shou suddenly felt a bit cold. He couldn't help but open his eyes and glance around!

In that glance, he saw the blue moon in the night sky. He rubbed his eyes and turned over!

Probably still half-asleep, right?

He was on the first floor, and the dormitory building had six floors. How could he see the moon through the ceiling?

Must be because he'd been staring at the moonlight too much—daydreaming at night!

So he turned over and went back to sleep!

But in the blink of an eye, Qin Shou suddenly felt a rocking sensation, as if he were on a boat. He opened his eyes again!

He saw two shadows carrying his bunk bed—complete with him in it—racing through the moonlit night!

A gust of cold wind blew, and Qin Shou instantly became alert!

=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) "Oh damn! Thieves! This is too much! You're stealing the bed too? I'm still in the—"

"Bam!"

A lightning-fast hand chop struck Qin Shou directly on the back of his neck, knocking him unconscious. Wang Zong grabbed the unconscious Qin Shou and casually tossed him into a pile of snow nearby!

Zhao Dezhu, in front, lowered his voice: "Old Wang, what's wrong with you? How did you end up carrying a person along too?"

Old Wang said hurriedly: "I got so busy I forgot! Don't talk about it, let's hurry up and move!"

At that moment, Qin Shou, jolted awake by the snow, turned around to look at the dormitory!

Where the hell was the dormitory?

A bunch of young men in shorts stood shivering in the winter cold, their faces full of terror!

What the hell!

They fell asleep, and the dormitory just disappeared?

As for fighting back? Laughed to death! They couldn't win anyway, and they'd even have their quilts stolen!

Just as everyone was in shock, they saw the mountains on the academy's back hill begin to tremble under the moonlight, then slowly rise!

Then, one after another, the hillocks began to move, lining up and marching toward the nursing home...

True mountain-moving!

During this process, perhaps because the few carts of sweet potatoes Xing Cheng had eaten were taking effect, Zhao Dezhu and the others actually tasted some sweet rewards a few times!

For a while, they moved with even more enthusiasm!

...

The next morning, Xia Yao clattered down from the second floor and flung open Jiangnan's door!

レ(゚⌂ツ;)ヘ "Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan! Something bad! Outsi—"

Before she could finish, Xia Yao's voice abruptly stopped. Her pretty face turned pale!

In the dim room, a pair of blood-red eyes stared directly at her!

In that instant, nothing remained in Xia Yao's vision except those blood-red pupils!

She felt she was no longer the Wolf King, but a little white rabbit being bitten on the throat by a starving wolf!

The sharp fangs seemed ready to crush her throat at any moment!

Instinctively, she took two steps back, fell on her bottom, and trembled like a sieve, her eyes reddening!

(ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀๐) "I'm sorry! I won't ever barge into your room without knocking again! Please don't kill me, okay?"

"I'm sorry! I—sob!"

As Jiangnan got up, Xia Yao instinctively hugged her head and closed her eyes!

୧(˚˃᷄﹏˂᷅˚)୨

Jiangnan quickly shut his eyes, and the murderous aura around him faded!

During this time, Jiangnan had been recalling the people he had killed, accumulating killing intent, and the aura on him grew heavier and heavier!

When Xia Yao opened the door, Jiangnan instinctively looked over. Who knew that Big Wolf Girl would look like she was about to cry?

It broke Jiangnan's heart!

He hurried over and hugged Xia Yao:

(๑ớ◡ờ) "Are you stupid? How could I ever kill you? I'd be too heartbroken to bear it, okay?"

"There, there, don't cry~ If you cry, you won't be pretty anymore!"

Xia Yao took a long time to recover. Was that really Xiao Nan just now? So terrifying!

It was completely different from the person in front of her now!

For that moment, it reminded Xia Yao of the blood-red eyes in the star-devouring black hole from Jiangnan's Didiwei special effects!

So similar...

(ᵒ̴̶̷̥́﹏ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀۶)۶ "Bad! You're bad! Always scaring people! Don't ever look at me with those eyes again!"

Jiangnan's eyes were full of smiles: "I won't! Get up, what were you saying about outside?"

He tried to help Xia Yao up, but her pretty face was bright red, and she sat on the ground, refusing to get up!

˚‧º·(⑉˚˃᷄﹏˂᷅˚⑉)‧º·˚

"Y-you... go see for yourself!"

With that, she suddenly got up, used her loose shirt to cover her thighs, and barefoot, dashed into the bathroom in a flash!

Jiangnan was full of confusion. He teleported outside!

And Xia Yao hid in the bathroom, covering her face!

(ノ)﹏(ヾ) "That... that was... Ahhh~ So embarrassing! What the hell was that thing just now?"

"I absolutely cannot let Xiao Nan know! Damn it!"

No matter what, this lady was still Big Wolf Girl. It wasn't that she was scared into peeing herself or anything. She just hadn't gone to the bathroom this morning and needed to go!

Coincidence, just a coincidence!

Yeah, that's it!

Meanwhile, Jiangnan ran to the edge of Sky Island and looked down!

That single look left Jiangnan dumbfounded:

Σ(ଵ口ଵ|||) "Whoa? Where's the academy? Did the chains holding Sky Island break? Where did we drift off to?"

Below was a vast white snowfield!

Not just below—front, back, left, right—it was all plains! Yesterday they were still floating above the academy. Where was this?

Zhong Yingxue's pretty face was slightly pale:

"(º﹏º*) "I think... we should still be at the academy. We haven't gone anywhere!"

Jiangnan took a closer look and realized that the physical training room, heavy training room, and some of the most basic buildings needed for daily life were still there!

But everything else was gone!

At this moment, Mila suddenly remembered something and shuddered violently!

(′◔﹏◔`)

She seemed to have caused trouble!

"I... I brought Xing Cheng to Grandpa Zhao and the others yesterday. Could it be that..."

Jiangnan was stunned. A bad feeling rose in his heart!

...

Xiao Chuihuo stretched lazily, very satisfied with his cultivation progress!

٩(๑•̀͜ʖ•́๑)۶

He was about to go out for breakfast!

As soon as he pushed open the door to his bedroom, a gust of wind and snow hit him in the face!

The smile on Xiao Chuihuo's face froze!

٩(๑≖_≖๑)۶...

Damn it! Where was the living room?

No! Where was his villa?

Looking around, in the vast snowfield, only his lonely bedroom stood there, isolated!

Where was the bustling scene of the academy? Why was it all flat?

(•́口•̀٥) "D-did I time travel?"

Seeing Xiao Chuihuo come out of his bedroom, Zhao Dezhu and the others hurried over!

(°ー°〃)☛ "Awake, huh? You don't need this bedroom anymore, right? If not, we'll move it away!"

With that, a few old men stepped forward, lifted the bedroom, and carried it away!

Now he didn't even have that one bedroom left...

Xiao Chuihuo: !!!

(O・`口・´)ノ!!! "Old Zhao! What the hell! What happened to the academy? Damn it! Where did the back mountain go?"

"Give me back my bedroom! When did I say I didn't need it?"

Furious, Xiao Chuihuo chased after them, but it was already too late!

The bedroom had already entered Xing Cheng's stomach!

Xiao Chuihuo glared: "Damn it! You guys didn't dismantle the entire academy and feed it to her, did you?"

Wang Zong shrugged: ʅ(・´‸・`)ʃ "Not really. We only dismantled a part of it!"

Xiao Chuihuo's forehead bulged with a dozen veins!

(ꐦ▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) "A part? It's a billion part! There's practically nothing left! What were you thinking?"

Zhao Dezhu said seriously: (›ಠʖ̯ಠ‹) "That's where you're wrong. As loving grandparents, when a child says she's hungry, can we not feed her?"

"Even if we have to sell everything we own, we have to fill her belly! Isn't that right, Xing Cheng?"

Xing Cheng nodded frantically:

(๑˘◡˘) "Yes! Yes! Grandpa~ Grandma~ Great!"

At this, Zhao Dezhu and the others all showed gratified expressions!

Xiao Chuihuo was about to explode:

(ꐦ͡⚆益͡⚆) "I spit! You just want her to refine incense beads so you can smell them, don't you?"

"Precautions taken, yet the enemy came from within! Jiangnan finally changed his temper. He came back this time without dismantling anything!"

"And in the end, you guys dismantled it all? I... pfft—My academy that I spent a fortune on, that could transform!"

It wasn't even about dismantling the academy anymore; the mountains were gone too!

Turning hills into plains—how was that acceptable?

Jiangnan suddenly appeared with the others via teleportation:

(͡°~͡°) "Xing Cheng? Did you cause trouble again? Come here!"

Xing Cheng hesitated for a long time, then obediently ran to Jiangnan's side!

Zhao Dezhu quickly said: (◞゚口゚)ツ "D-don't take her back! Let us look after her a little longer! We grandparents really love this kid!"

Jiangnan's mouth twitched: "I'm afraid that if you keep looking after her, you'll dismantle Sky Island and feed it to her too!"

"Give it up. It's no use! Blue Star can't withstand her gnawing like this!"

Turning to look at Xing Cheng, in just one night, her little face had grown chubby!

"As expected of grandparent-level feeding! You've fattened her up!"

Xiao Chuihuo's miserable wails echoed endlessly. Every bit of chub she gained was cultivated from feeding her the academy!

Back when the academy was dismantled before, at least there were some ruins and remnants to look at, giving people something to hold onto!

Now even the ruins weren't spared?

Just then, a Dragon Abyss Army little brother appeared, asking for directions everywhere!

(O'~'O) "Uh... The Pioneer Academy is here, right? Jiangnan is here, right? I didn't get lost, did I?"

He had come a few times before, but this time, it looked completely different from what he remembered!

Hadn't this place been plains before?

Jiangnan's eyes lit up. He waved and said: "Here! Here! You didn't get lost! This is Pioneer Plains!"

Brother Jian must have brought the spirit beads, right?

Xiao Chuihuo's eyes shot flames: "Pfft—Pioneer Plains, my ass!"

As long as Jiangnan came back, nothing good ever happened!

Jiangnan pouted: (¬₃¬*) "Why are you staring at me? This time it really has nothing to do with me, okay!"
