Chapter 2076: Prison-Style South God?
Wenger was speechless. They hadn't even entered the prison yet, and this guy was already thinking about how to escape?
As the Star Path Development Plan progressed with great momentum, half a month passed in the blink of an eye!
Now, the Taoyuan Star Sector had gained three additional stars, dozens of life-sustaining planets, and a massive Dimensional Star Ring had been set up in their own star sector!
In terms of prestige, it was definitely the flashiest among the outer ring star sectors!
Because so many life-sustaining planets had been repaired, there was literally no room to place them anymore. Ah~ it was just… frustrating!
Of course, the myriad races found these dozens of newly added life-sustaining planets in the Taoyuan Star Sector somewhat familiar…
…
On the morning of the appointed day, many citizens of the Starry Sky Races crawled out of their beds early, boarded starships, called up their friends and family, and headed to Taoyuan Star to witness the ceremony!
For no other reason than that today was the day Jiangnan entered prison!
Early in the morning, the entire Taoyuan Star Sector was already packed to capacity. As far as the eye could see, fleets upon fleets of starships were docked, and a dense, dark mass of myriad race citizens had come to watch the spectacle!
All to satisfy their deep-seated hatred!
There was even a starship from Star Cluster Media doing a live broadcast across the entire star domain, just to record this great historical moment!
Meanwhile, the escort team from Ming He Death Prison had already arrived early at the rebuilt Sacred Law Star Palace to pick up the prisoner!
Together with the Sacred Law Council and Decree Troops, they headed to Taoyuan Star to arrest Jiangnan, to spare him any further pointless struggle!
The crowd of spectators parted, making way as the mighty Decree Troops arrived at Taoyuan Star!
All of the Star Devourers from the top ten sequences of the myriad races were present. Even if their true bodies hadn't come, their mental projections had!
The scale of this event was set to maximum!
Di Chou declared loudly: (ꐦ•̀_•́) "Jiangnan! The day has come. Now that it's here, you're not going to back out, are you?"
From Taoyuan Village came Jiangnan's impatient voice: "I know, I know! What's the rush? The emperor isn't worried, so why are the eunuchs in a hurry?"
The veins on Di Chou's forehead bulged. You little bastard, I'll hold back today, but once you're inside, just you wait!
Jiangnan led the human high-ranking officials out of Taoyuan Village.
Mila's eyes were red, clearly having just cried. Zhong Yingxue also looked dejected—good times had just arrived, but little Nan had to go suffer, and she couldn't be happy about it.
Jiangnan, on the other hand, seemed rather pleased with himself, with a strawberry mark on his neck.
That morning, Big Wolf Flame had paid back the principal of the kisses she owed him. With her crazy dog-style kissing method, Jiangnan really didn't need to wash his face!
With that, he could last a few months without issue.
As soon as he came out and saw the countless starships and the sea of people, the corner of Jiangnan's mouth twitched.
(•́ω•̀٥) "What's going on? So lively? Does Thousand Stars City also celebrate holidays like New Year's?"
Olivia covered her face: "They're all here to watch you go to prison. You're heading to the big house, which for the myriad races of the starry sky is as good as New Year's!"
Just then, a voice rang out: "Lord Di Chou, is this the condemned criminal to be sent to Ming He Death Prison for his sentence?"
Di Chou sneered: "That's right! It's him!"
The one who had spoken was a member of the Netherworld Race!
He stood two meters tall, with a robust physique, black curved horns on his head, and a silvery-gray body similar to shark skin.
His hands and feet were webbed, and on his back was a silver steel trident!
His fierce face was covered in a thick beard, and his silver hair was braided into dreadlocks, giving him an exotic air.
He was the leader of this escort mission, the Deputy Warden of Ming He Death Prison, Bing Chacha!
Behind him followed a squad of Netherworld Prison Guards, their eyes roaming over Jiangnan.
Oddly enough, the Decree Troops kept their distance from the Netherworld Race escort team, as if they were wary of them.
Beside Bing Chacha stood a tall, slender Netherworld woman!
Though of the Netherworld Race, she had an exquisite face, a well-proportioned figure, wore work pants on her lower half and a cropped top on top!
Revealing eight-pack abs and a breathtakingly toned waistline, her fists were wrapped in bandages!
Her chest was ample, with room for everything!
Her long silver hair was tied up high into a braid that hung down to her buttocks!
At the small of her back was a coiled whip, exuding a fiery, queenly aura!
She, like Bing Chacha, was also a Deputy Warden of the Netherworld Death Prison, named Jiu Lan!
A cool, detached voice came from Jiu Lan: (˶‾᷄～‾᷅) "Everyone's time is precious, so stop dawdling!"
"Hurry up and come over; I'm taking you to Ming He Death Prison to serve your sentence!"
Jiu Lan seemed to dislike this place, her eyes darting around, filled with resistance.
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ͦ～꒪ͦ〃) "Hmph~ What's the rush? I didn't say I wasn't going. I'm serving three hundred years; can't I at least say goodbye to everyone?"
Jiu Lan frowned: (￢益￢ꐦ) "Tsk~"
[From Jiu Lan's Resentment Value +1009!]
Jiangnan: ???
This woman has quite a temper, huh? She has potential!
Di Chou said impatiently, "Then say your goodbyes and make it quick!"
In his heart, he sneered endlessly. Three hundred years? Dream on! I'll make sure you don't even last three months!
Enjoy your final moments!
Jiangnan turned to face the crowd and flashed a brilliant grin.
"Well then, I'm off now. Mila, don't cry; crying isn't pretty. Lan, remember to work hard, and don't forget to wash your face and brush your teeth every day. You're a little girl, so keep clean!"
But hearing this, the two little girls couldn't hold it in anymore. They rushed over and hugged Jiangnan's waist, crying even harder.
Jiangnan could only keep patting their heads, his nose stinging.
"Xuexue, while I'm away, take care of the family. Don't slack off on your training either. When I get back, if you haven't broken through to Transcendant, then you've been slacking, got it?"
"Remember to take Xingcheng to eat plenty of planets. Don't let the kid go hungry. And… and… that's about it…"
At this moment, Jiangnan seemed to have endless things to say, enough to fill three days and nights without finishing.
To say he had no attachments would be a lie. His attachments were countless!
Zhong Yingxue stepped forward and gently straightened Jiangnan's collar. Her eyes were red, and she pressed her forehead against his, her eyelashes fluttering.
"I'll take care of home. You take care of yourself. I'll wait for you to come back. No matter how long it takes, I'll wait. Don't worry."
"My little Nan is the most dazzling presence no matter where he is. It'll be the same in prison. You're the best!"
She gently rubbed the tip of her nose against his.
Jiangnan took a deep breath. Don't cry! Don't let the myriad races see your weakness!
You are the South God, the man who destroyed Thousand Stars City! Nothing can defeat you!
Ming He Death Prison is nothing! Everyone inside is just a little brother!
With a brilliant smile, Jiangnan looked at the crowd!
"Everyone! A new era for humanity has begun! I don't care what nationality, skin color, faction, or grudges you had on Blue Star!"
"As long as you leave Blue Star, you have only one common name: Human! Is that clear?"
"When I first came to Thousand Stars City, I didn't dare to act like a human, didn't dare to reveal my race. I had no family, no roots, and it hurt inside. Back then, I swore to myself that when I stepped into the starry sky a second time, I would do so as a human!"
"Now I've done it! I've given everything to make it so that humans can walk openly under the stars, without hiding their identity, without fear! Don't disgrace the name of 'Human'!"
"This new era is for you to create together! Every human will be a clansman you can trust with your back! Do your best, and wait for me to come home!"
At this moment, even Bai Kou and Badi couldn't help but redden their eyes.
They shouted in unison: "Yes! We will remember our mission! We won't let you down!"
Jiangnan laughed, turned, and began walking toward the Decree Troops.
Odin, tears in his eyes: (๑ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ᯅᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀)۶ "Big Brother, you…"
Jiangnan paused, turned his head, and grinned: "Hey hey hey! This isn't a farewell of life and death! Don't cry like babies!"
"I'm just going for further studies! Ever heard of 'prison-style South God'? When I get out, who knows how many girls will go crazy for me!"
Odin: (˚˃̣̣̥᷄3˂̣̣̥᷅) ~ Pfft!
He couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing on the spot. 'Prison-style South God' indeed!
There seems to be something off about that prison, huh?
Many people couldn't help but smile, not knowing whether to laugh or cry!
The South God was always like this, never wanting to make the atmosphere too heavy, always wanting to make everyone laugh.
Even the message on his tombstone was so absurd!
He winked playfully at everyone, then walked alone toward the escort team, his expression utterly carefree.
Everything that needed to be said and prepared was done. It was time for Jiangnan to hit the road.
Yang Jian, watching Jiangnan's retreating figure, clenched his fists silently.
A voice suddenly rang out in Jiangnan's mind: "Three months! I'll make sure humanity gains a firm foothold. After that, there won't be any more worries!"
This was the great era Jiangnan had created. He would fight tooth and nail to lead everyone in expanding their territory and shining across the stars!
Jiangnan paused for a moment, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Without turning back, he flashed an O98K sign.
He arrived in front of Jiu Lan, who directly pulled out a pair of black-gold handcuffs.
She cuffed Jiangnan's hands behind his back!
Di Chou and several other Star Devourers watched, inspecting him thoroughly from every angle. It was definitely Jiangnan himself, with no tricks up his sleeve.
Jiu Lan placed her hand on Jiangnan's back.
"Ming He Imprint!"
A burning sensation came from the back of his neck, and a Ming He mark appeared. Jiangnan immediately felt his supernatural and space-based abilities locked down!
He couldn't even release spiritual power outward. All the energy inside him was suppressed by the Ming He Imprint.
Jiangnan clicked his tongue in admiration. The Netherworld Race had some tricks up their sleeves.
"Behave yourself! Once you're in our hands, forget about escaping. Let's go… Huh? What are you doing here?"
Beside Jiangnan, Wang Youzhi had come bouncing along too!
And he even proactively stretched out his hand, clearly asking to be cuffed, his face full of anticipation.
Wang Youzhi raised an eyebrow: (๑◔～◔ิ) "What am I doing? I'm coming along to keep him company! Hurry up and cuff me so we can get going. Don't waste time!"
Jiu Lan: ???
Bing Chacha turned to Di Chou in confusion: (๑•̌_•̑) "I thought it was just Jiangnan alone? Who's this? Is he guilty too?"
The corner of Di Chou's mouth twitched. Still got the 'cuffed one, get one free' special?
Wang Youzhi glared: (︶益︶ꐦ) "Not guilty? Ridiculous! I'm the one who pushed Wanxiang Star and rammed tens of thousands of planets into oblivion! I'm practically a criminal mastermind!"
Jiangnan: (≖﹏≖٥)
Not eager to go to prison? Is there something wrong with your brain?
(⌒_⌒;) "Da Zhi? Since you want to go so badly, how about you take all the blame and go serve the sentence for me?"
Wang Youzhi pouted: (◕ˇ৺ˇ◕) "How could that work? You blew up over three hundred thousand planets and dismantled Thousand Stars City. You're the main culprit. I'm just an accomplice, helping the villain do evil!"
Hearing that, Di Chou got even angrier: "Since he wants to be locked up, cuff this guy too! Neither of them is any damn good!"
The corner of Bing Chacha's mouth twitched. Well, cuff one, get one free, huh?
So Wang Youzhi also got his wish and was handcuffed.
If Jiangnan was the 'prison-style South God,' then Wang Youzhi must be the 'prison-style mentally challenged,' right?
