# Chapter 1773: This Dream Lasted Quite Long, Huh?
The crowd, whose spirits had been shaken to the core by Jiangnan's killing momentum, took a long time to pull themselves out of that state of fear!
Looking at Jiangnan, who was lying on Zhong Yingxue's back, sleeping deeply, it was hard to imagine that this was the same person as that bloody monster from before!
In the blink of an eye, everyone had already returned to Jiangcheng!
All the citizens noticed Jiangnan being carried back on Zhong Yingxue's back!
Their hearts were filled with gratitude and shock!
It was hard to imagine how Jiangnan had managed to keep killing spirit beasts nonstop for seven consecutive days, 168 hours!
He had cut until his consciousness blurred, cut until he was utterly exhausted, and fell asleep on someone else's back!
That tired sleeping face with drool looked especially handsome!
Immediately, someone couldn't hold back the surging emotions in their heart and shouted loudly:
٩(•̀口•́)۶ "Southern God! I... mm~"
Before they could finish, the person next to them clapped a hand over their mouth and glared:
(͡°益͡°) "Shh~ shh! Don't you have any sense? Keep your voice down!"
"Don't wake up the Southern God! He's very tired, let him get a good sleep!"
That brother nodded repeatedly. At this moment, the entire city of Jiangcheng was eerily silent!
No one spoke, they just cast their gazes toward Jiangnan, their eyes full of heartache and pride!
It was like looking at their own child!
Although Jiangnan had never had parents since he was young, at this moment, in the hearts of Jiangcheng's citizens, Jiangnan was like a child of the city.
He had left here and soared to the sky! Now he had returned and protected Jiangcheng...
Zhong Yingxue carried Jiangnan through the crowd, following the route in her memory!
She wanted to carry Jiangnan home to rest. In Jiangcheng, Jiangnan also had a villa.
Wherever they passed, the crowd silently made way, watching with respect!
Zhong Yingxue spoke: "In a little while, after Lan finishes collecting the spirit pearls, Xing Cheng will clean up the battlefield!"
"Then organize the citizens to board Xing Cheng and prepare for the transfer. Send the people to Hongye Valley and Tianchi Lingxu for shelter first!"
"Although Jiangcheng is relatively intact now, under these circumstances, we can no longer stay. Even if we defend it, it will consume unnecessary manpower!"
"Once everyone is ready, we'll set out. I'll take Little Nan to rest first. He's too tired..."
Qin Shou and Liu Ming nodded and began to take action!
The entire evacuation and transfer operation was eerily quiet. The citizens of the entire city tacitly moved carefully, trying not to make any noise!
Let Jiangnan sleep peacefully and have a good rest.
Following her memory, Zhong Yingxue returned to the garden villa in Jiangcheng. Fortunately, it hadn't been destroyed.
The original villa had been wrecked. This one was bought with the money they had swindled from Odin when they caught Victoria!
The deed was still in Xiao Mila's name!
Pushing open the door, everything was still as it was in memory!
Since Jiangnan and the others went to the Pioneer Academy in Rongcheng, they had never returned to this home.
Xia Yao quickly raised her hand: (ﾟ～ﾟ)ﾂ "Me! I'll boil water!"
She darted off to busy herself, while Mila began cleaning the room.
In the bathroom, steam rose, and the sound of splashing water was endless!
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao, their faces red, had stripped Jiangnan stark naked and thrown him into the bathtub to wash him clean!
Jiangnan looked like he had been marinated in a blood vat, and the water that came out was red!
It took several changes of water before he was clean and fragrant!
The three of them squeezed into the bathtub. Jiangnan was so tired that he didn't wake up. Otherwise, if he had seen this scene, his nosebleed would have shot three meters away, right?
At that moment, Zhong Yingxue seemed to see something shocking. Her face turned red to the point of steaming, and she quickly turned her head away!
(ﾉ)﹏(ヾ) "Yao... Yao Yao! What are you doing? Stop playing! Be serious!"
Xia Yao looked utterly amazed:
(ง⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴)ง "Oh ho~ Little Nan can still do it while asleep? That's amazing!"
Jiangnan: (◦˘～˘◦) ~ZZZ
Zhong Yingxue: !!!
Her face was burning red: (⑉Ծ﹏Ծ⑉) "Ptooey, ptooey!"
Xia Yao grinned mischievously, then seemed to remember something. Her eyes lit up, and she eagerly urged:
(˵ಡ.̫ಡ˵) "Xuexue! This is a rare opportunity! What do you say we take this chance~ hmm?"
"Make Little Nan a bit more fortunate?"
She kept winking at Zhong Yingxue, looking eager!
(๑◔.̫◔ิ๑)✧
Zhong Yingxue's expression became conflicted. She was a bit tempted, but also hesitant!
(⑉❛ั～❛ั) "Let's... let's let him off for now. He's already very tired from killing spirit beasts for seven days. If... if he gets too exhausted, that wouldn't be good!"
"If he ends up with some lingering problem, that would be troublesome!"
Xia Yao thought it over. That was true. For the sake of sustainable development in the future, they couldn't just focus on the immediate moment!
They washed Jiangnan clean, carried him to his room, tucked him into bed, and let him sleep.
Xia Yao took the chance to go see her parents, while Zhong Yingxue stayed in the room to watch over Jiangnan!
Although the transfer was happening outside, the city was eerily quiet.
As for the Zhong family, Zhong Yingxue's feelings were complicated, and she had even been somewhat repulsed at first!
After all, she had been adopted by the Zhong family, which had separated her from Little Nan. Still, she had lived with the Zhong family for five years.
The feelings weren't deep, but they were there.
Outside, Lan was digging up spirit pearls, growing more shocked with each one. Just how many spirit beasts had Jiangnan Gege killed?
Digging until her hands were sore was a first!
Lan dug in front, and Xing Cheng followed behind eating, not wasting a single bit!
It was still good to have a meal ticket. Chen Bao had prepared so many biscuit crumbs for her to eat.
...
Sunlight streamed through the window, spilling into the room and shining on Jiangnan's face. Little specks of dust floated in the air, bathed in gold!
The whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Jiangnan's eyelashes fluttered slightly. He rubbed his eyes and opened his sleepy ones!
(๑⁼̴ࡇก̀) "Mm~ this sunlight is a bit harsh on the face, huh?"
As his consciousness gradually cleared, Jiangnan looked at the familiar furnishings in the room—the photo frame on the bedside table, the figurines on the computer desk, the comics on the bookshelf. He was completely dumbfounded!
∑(°口°๑) "Th-this damn dream is a bit long, isn't it?"
In a daze, Jiangnan thought he had returned to the time before he went to the Pioneer Academy!
He had actually slept into a feeling of time travel, as if everything he had experienced was just a dream!
Until he looked through the window and saw the ruins of the city, and Xing Cheng's massive, sky-obscuring body!
Jiangnan smiled bitterly: "Is there a more realistic dream than this? If only I could, I wish this was all just a dream..."
He looked down and saw Zhong Yingxue half-asleep, lying by his bedside. A few strands of hair fell across her forehead, and the sunlight shone on her face, making her indescribably beautiful, like a painting come to life!
It almost killed Jiangnan with beauty. Even while asleep, Zhong Yingxue's little hand still held Jiangnan's!
Jiangnan smiled brilliantly, his eyes full of tenderness. Then he slyly glanced left and right!
(๑◔ิ˘◔ิ๑)
I'll sneak a little kiss; no one will notice, right?
Said kissed, and kissed!
He brushed aside her forehead hair, pursed his lips, and planted a kiss on Zhong Yingxue's forehead!
After the kiss, Jiangnan's face melted, and he savored the moment!
(｡⁼̴〰⁼̴) Goose~
Feeling like it wasn't enough, he changed positions, lifted the blanket, leaned over, and aimed for Zhong Yingxue's lips!
This time, he was aiming for the mouth!
As a Southern man, he had to take an inch and then a foot!
But just as he was about to kiss her, the door was suddenly flung open. Xia Yao, who had just run back, stood at the doorway, eyes wide!
|(*ﾟﾛﾟdoor
Jiangnan's movement froze completely. He looked down at himself in panic!
Σ(ଵ口ଵ|||)
There was absolutely nothing covering his body!
Damn it! Where the hell were my clothes? This... this posture could easily be misunderstood!
Xia Yao's face instantly turned mischievous!
|(ಡ˘ಡdoor
The door slowly closed, leaving only a crack!
Then a thumbs-up slowly slid in, as if cheering Jiangnan on!
Then the thumb changed into an indescribable, weird gesture, moving back and forth!
Jiangnan: Pfft~ (ԾεԾ⑉)
What the hell! That gesture can't even be broadcast anymore!
Then Lan's voice came from outside the door!
(ง⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)ว "Jiangnan Gege! I've finished digging the spirit pearls! We're rich, we're rich~ The citizens outside have also been transferred onto Xing Cheng. We can set off!"
"Hey, Yao Yao Jie? Why are you crouching by the door? Your laugh sounds so strange!"
Jiangnan: !!!
Jiangnan quickly pulled a set of clothes from the Alternate Dimension and put them on!
Zhong Yingxue also woke up groggily, her arm numb from being pressed!
(๑⁼̴ࡇ⁼̴) "Mm~ can we set off now? Little Nan is awake. Have you slept enough?"
Jiangnan's gaze darted around, as if he had done something guilty. Sweat beaded on his forehead:
(￢ㅂ￢٥) "Enough... enough. Ahaha~"
The door opened, and Lan and Xia Yao walked in!
Xia Yao snickered: (୧୨՞▿՞) "Really enough? I think I saw... mm mph~"
Before she finished, Jiangnan rushed over and covered her mouth, not letting her speak!
Seeing Jiangnan full of energy again, Zhong Yingxue's worries faded!
Jiangnan's eyes widened: "Sigh~ Starlight Three? Did you eat urea? Rising so fast?"
Xia Yao put her hands on her waist, looking smug:
(︶◡︶๑) "Well, take a look? Starlight Three is just something I can reach anytime, anywhere!"
The group chatted and joked, playfully making their way out of the villa!
Lan's harvest was indeed considerable—just a few tons of spirit pearls, and four Dao Heaven Beads!
Jiangnan didn't take all of them; he gave Lan a few hundred catties of spirit pearls as a reward for her hard work!
Xing Cheng was carrying all the citizens, ready to set off. Jiangnan and the others stood in front of the villa, filled with emotion!
Xia Yao pouted: "This time we leave, I'm afraid we'll never return to this home again!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "How could that be? Just take it with you! Who says real estate can't be moved?"
With a casual wave, Jiangnan formed a spatial barrier, cutting straight into the ground!
He lifted the entire garden villa, along with the surrounding land!
Opening the Alternate Dimension, the space barrier carried the villa inside!
Xia Yao's jaw dropped: ∑(°口°๑) "Are you really going to dig it up?"
Taking the house along with them, huh?
