Chapter 2019: Already Dirty, Can't Keep It
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao also had surging emotions, happy for Jiangnan, happy for humanity!
In the end, Xiao Nan actually managed to do it!
Living up to everyone's expectations, living up to the people of the world, living up to this era!
Bai Kou's nose stung, tears blurring her vision long ago. Xiao Di, Yu Shen, did you see this?
We really won, all those efforts, the act of placing hope on future generations, it wasn't in vain!
At this moment, all of humanity cheered for this hard-won victory, their hearts stirred!
Humanity! Has never submitted!
Perhaps too excited, Jiangnan's color faded from excitement, finally returning to his original skin tone, becoming his usual handsome self!
Shining droplets of sweat glistened on his cheeks!
The side effects of eating so much black garlic had finally passed!
Olivia beside him was stunned. The dark horse prince wasn't dark anymore? But he was still just as handsome, dammit!
Di Chou's expression turned extremely ugly. He glared at Xing Luo with cold eyes!
Without saying a word, he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve, departing!
There was no longer any need for him to stay. Continuing to linger would only make the Bose Race appear even more petty!
Xing Luo, after being glared at by Di Chou, felt chilled to the bone, his face pale as death!
After this, he was mostly finished!
However, Nailuo of the Creation Realm was stunned, looking at Jiang Jing with utter disbelief!
This was clearly the spirit medium born in the Creation Realm some years ago, sent over twenty years ago with the Holy Star to Blue Star to retrieve the Creation Beast!
This was also the reason why the Holy Star initiated the fourth spiritual energy revival on Blue Star!
Didn't Xing Luo tell him back then that an accident had occurred and the sent spirit medium had died?
Then who was the one contracted to the Creation Beast now?
At this moment, veins bulged on Nailuo's forehead as he grabbed Xing Luo by the collar!
(ꐦʘ̆益ʘ̆) "Xing! Luo! Didn't you tell me the sent spirit medium died in an accident? Then who is this? Accident? Is this really just an accident?"
Could it be that the Holy Star was up to something, trying to monopolize this Creation Beast of the Creation Realm and caused the "accident"?
But it backfired instead?
Xing Luo's eyes dodged:
(✡◔益◔ิ) "Nailuo! Calm down! Let's talk about this back home. Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough?"
Nailuo gritted his steel teeth, glanced at Noah and Miao Ke, then said harshly:
"You're not getting out of this one! When we get back, I'm going to investigate thoroughly. It better not be your doing, or else this isn't over!"
He then let go of Xing Luo in frustration.
Jiangnan immediately spoke up:
"According to the Starry Sky Law, the Star Ruins Management Regulations stipulate! My Blue Star humans, in the Star Ruins War, using our own race's power, have won this war fair and square!"
"We already have the qualifications to join the Starry Sky Sequence and enter Thousand Stars City. You yourself have verbally acknowledged the victory of this Star Ruins War!"
"The Starry Sky Races are witnesses. This is an irrefutable piece of evidence!"
"In fact! Counting this time, our human race has now obtained Sequence qualification through our own power four times. As things stand, you're not going to renege, are you?"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened. Yang Jian clenched his fists even harder!
Winning the Star Ruins War was certainly important, but that was just the basic condition. What happened after the war was most important!
Wasn't this another kind of battle?
As for who really won this war, the tens of thousands of Glazed Horns floating in the starry sky, the wreckage of war fortresses, and the burning Holy Star flags were proof enough!
When these words were spoken, the expressions of the Star Devourer incarnations present varied. Noah smiled faintly...
Xing Luo's fists were about to shatter. Just as he was about to speak...
At that moment, Tiffany of the First Light Faction stepped forward and said:
"The Starry Sky Law is the only precept that safeguards the peace of the starry sky. Since humans have won, naturally there's nothing more for us to say. We should abide by the law."
"But adding a race to the Starry Sky Sequence is no small matter, nor a game. There are many procedures to go through. Only after that will the Sacred Law Council issue the Starry Sky Sequence qualification."
"You can't just enter on a whim! Thousand Stars City also needs preparations. The war has just ended, and both sides have plenty of matters to handle."
"How about setting it for three days from now, at the Sacred Law Star Palace, to conduct the procedures for humanity joining the Starry Sky Sequence?"
Hearing this, Jiangnan immediately frowned:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Who are you? Do your words carry any weight?"
[From Tiffany: Resentment Value +1008!]
Tiffany barely suppressed her urge to curse:
(｡･ˇ益ˇ･) "Current leader of the First Light Faction! Tiffany! Current member of the Sacred Law Council! Do you think my words carry weight?"
"Things have come this far, everyone in the starry sky knows. Could I possibly fool you?"
Jiangnan's eyes shifted. Looking at the devastated surroundings of Blue Star, Jupiter had exploded, the Sun had dimmed, and there was indeed a huge mess to clean up.
Moreover, issuing Sequence qualification did require going through a bunch of procedures. But not settling it on the spot made Jiangnan a little uneasy.
So he gave Miao Ke a questioning look.
Miao Ke nodded almost imperceptibly. The light on Jiangnan's earring flickered.
Meaning he could agree, and rest assured regarding the agreement from before.
Jiangnan finally nodded: "Alright then! Three days from now!"
Miao Ke said flatly: "At that time, not only will we handle the matter of issuing humanity's Starry Sky Sequence qualification."
"We will also have to properly calculate! The Bose Race, as the overlord of the starry sky, knowing the law and breaking it, repeatedly violating the Starry Sky Law, what punishment should be meted out!"
"Each matter is separate. We should settle accounts properly!"
Tiffany glared hatefully at Miao Ke. It was easy to imagine what kind of storm the Bose Race would face in the coming period!
All of this was a mess caused by Xing Luo! A complete waste! An utter fool!
Noah left gracefully: "Remember to call me when the time comes. I'm looking forward to it~"
The other Star Devourer incarnations also dissipated one by one. Lady Man Ti glanced at Olivia.
Olivia, frightened, quickly ran behind Jiangnan to hide.
(｡◔﹏◔ิ(͡°～͡°)
Lady Man Ti said: "If you want to return to the clan, you can at any time. You are no longer Chu Ya..."
With that, her incarnated remnant shattered and left, leaving Olivia standing there, completely stunned.
Xing Luo said bitterly: "The Star Ruins War is over, as you wished. The Star Gathering Pearl, the two Star-Devouring Giant Worms from back then, and the Star Gate in your hands—shouldn't you return them to us?"
Jiangnan's mouth dropped open:
∑(°口°๑) "Huh? What did you say? Are you daydreaming broad daylight? Got your hopes up so high you blew snot bubbles?"
"Is your name written on them? Who says they're yours? Do you know what 'spoils of war' means?"
"You think I fought this Star Ruins War for nothing? I've been busy all this time for nothing? Not giving! Go out and ask around. Has anyone ever pried a single cent out of my pocket?"
Xing Cheng nodded repeatedly:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷◠ᵒ̴̶̷) "Exactly exactly!"
[From Xing Luo: Resentment Value +1008!]
Nailuo gritted his teeth: (￢益￢) "You have to return the Creation Beast at least! That's originally an asset of the Creation Realm! And the spirit medium is also from the Creation Realm!"
But Jiang Jing grabbed hold of Jiangnan's arm, refusing to let go, making faces at Nailuo.
(◦`~´◦) "Pfft! I'm Jiangnan Gege's! I'm not going with you!"
It didn't look like they had hot sauce over there anyway.
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "You heard that? I found it, so it's mine. Besides, the previous spirit medium was killed by Jiang Fan. By rights, what Jiang Fan killed belongs to Jiang Fan."
"You want it? Go ask Jiang Fan for it. Why are you asking me?"
"Besides, Jiang Fan..."
Nailuo: !!!
(ʘ̆益ʘ̆٥) "Sigh! Shut up! Stop blabbering! What are you saying nonsense! If you won't give it, then don't! What's with all the talk?"
Even Miao Ke activated his alert mode, scanning the surroundings.
(〃⊚_⊚) "Keep your voice down!"
Jiangnan: (๑•᷄◡•᷅) "Hmm? What's wrong? Is there a problem with me mentioning Jiang Fan?"
[From Nailuo: Resentment Value +1008!]
You're still saying it!
He immediately turned away, no longer looking at Jiangnan, looking angry. This kid was obviously doing it on purpose; he just didn't want to give it.
Xing Luo was furious: "Then you have to return my son to me! He's not spoils of war, nor does he have anything to do with the Star Ruins War!"
Jiangnan held the sack, deep in thought:
袋٩(͡°ก͡°) "Hmm~ Your son? Whether to give or not..."
At this moment, everyone watched Jiangnan with twitching mouths. Exactly how many bargaining chips did he hold over the Holy Star?
Going straight to the root, even kidnapping their son?
To win this war, Jiangnan had really gone all out, huh?
Xing Luo glared: "Jiangnan! Don't push it!"
Jiangnan said impatiently:
(︶～︶〃)ﾉ "Alright, alright~ I'll give him back. What are you getting all worked up about? A grown man, can't take a joke!"
Couldn't push too hard; better to leave some leeway. So he directly tossed the Dull Sack toward Xing Luo.
Xing Luo instantly opened a Dimension Gate and dodged inside, extremely cautiously extending a hand to poke the sack.
Nailuo's mouth twitched:
(￢益￢) "Xing Luo! What the hell are you doing there?"
It wasn't really Xing Luo's fault; he had been bombarded in the face by ten dark matter star bombs before and had psychological trauma.
Who knew if what was inside was really his son? Maybe opening it would reveal another rocking car that would make him call it grandpa?
Jiangnan rolled his eyes:
(꒪ͦд꒪ͦ๑) "Don't want it? Give it back to me! It really is your son!"
After poking for a long time with no reaction, Xing Luo finally relaxed his guard and opened the sack.
The moment he opened it, an extremely pungent stench spread across the starry sky, instantly filling the entire area!
Xing Luo and the nearby Tiffany and Nailuo were fumigated to tears, immediately vomiting.
(☍ཀ⁰|||) "What the hell is this thing!"
[From Xing Luo: Resentment Value +1008!]
I knew that kid didn't have any good intentions!
Nuo Man burst out of the sack, crying violently.
By now, he was no longer the deep blue color; the Bose particles on his body had been completely stained yellow by durian pulp.
He had turned into an orange Bose entity, a first of its kind!
Having been marinated in durian pulp inside the Dull Sack for who knows how long, he was now thoroughly infused with the flavor!
He cried loudly as he rushed toward Xing Luo.
(#҉)༎ຶ҉Д༎ຶ(҉#҉) "Dad! He's a devil! Jiangnan is not human! You don't know what I've been through these past few days!"
"I thought I'd never see you again! Dad! You have to avenge me!"
Seeing Nuo Man charging at him, Xing Luo's eyes were filled with terror!
The stench had already made him nearly faint. Instinctively, he landed a huge slap on Nuo Man's face!
(ꐦಥ益ಥ)۶Σ(#)҉꒪ͦ҉3҉꒪ͦ҉)
"Get lost! What the hell? Stay away from me!"
Nuo Man was sent flying by Xing Luo's slap!
Nailuo pinched his nose, his face filled with horror:
(|||≥ก≤) "Xing Luo! Did your son shit in the sack? What's that stuff stuck on him, could it be...?"
No, wait? Bose entities don't have metabolism, right?
Xing Luo looked at his palm with disgust, then wiped it on Tiffany's clothes.
Tiffany: (ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) Xing Luo!
Nuo Man was completely stunned by his father's slap. Holding his cheek, he cried:
(ﾉ)҉ಥ҉ᯅ҉ಥ҉) "Dad! Why did you hit me? It's me!"
As he spoke, he tried to move forward, but Xing Luo immediately shouted: "Stand right there and don't move! Don't come over!"
At this moment, Xing Luo looked at Nuo Man with suspicion. It really was his son?
How could it be so stinky!
He immediately regretted it. He kind of didn't want him anymore.
Maybe it'd be less trouble to just have another one. This one was already dirty, couldn't keep it.
Jiangnan held his breath: (乛ก乛٥) "Honestly! If you don't want him, you can give him back to me. I don't mind!"
[From Xing Luo: Resentment Value +1009!]
