# Chapter 2189: Escaped But Not Fully
At this moment, the Ming He Dead Star had been headbutted by the koi over a dozen times already!
It had long since been knocked far away from the center of the star domain, who knows how far out it had been pushed!
It was like, "If you don't give me food, I'm not leaving!"
Youming couldn't chase it away, nor could he stop it, after all, the Ming He Koi could also use the Minghe Star Path!
Not only could it use it, but it could even open its own path!
The Ming He Dead Star couldn't bear the humiliation, already smoking and crumbling from the impacts!
The prisoners' hearts were in their throats!
Every time it was headbutted, their hearts would skip a beat, and if they didn't die, they'd breathe a sigh of relief!
Who could endure such fright with even the strongest heart?
Even Jiu Lan and Chong Feiyu had run out to watch the excitement!
Chong Feiyu was currently gripping the railing, looking at the Ming He Koi with an excited expression!
"How could I not have thought of that? Jiangnan is simply a genius!"
Jiu Lan was also shocked, "Ming He Koi? What's it gone crazy for?"
Just then, Jiangnan rushed out from inside like a streak of smoke!
ﾚ(ﾟꇴﾟ〃)ﾍ "I heard the Colorful Big Crucian came? Where? Where? Ssss～ Mabu Xi!"
Chong Feiyu excitedly ran up to Jiangnan and elbowed him directly!
(˵ಡ̫ಡ) "I didn't see that coming! You've got some tricks, huh? You called this fish over, right? I was just wondering what method you'd use to break everyone out together!"
"Never thought you'd use this big fish to bring the whole Ming He Death Prison along for the escape? Not bad! You're amazing～"
"I really didn't expect the escape operation to start so soon. Just thinking about it gets me excited. Will this emperor be embracing freedom soon?"
"Tell me quickly! What method did you use to control this big fish?"
Jiu Lan: ???
This Ming He Koi was called by Jiangnan? Jiangnan can summon the Ming He Koi?
They're escaping? Already escaping?
The other prisoners heard this and immediately got excited, looking at Jiangnan as if he were a god!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Escape? Is it the South God who called the Ming He Koi to escape together? My god! South God～ I love you to death!"
٩(⋟ꇴ⋞)۶ "Following the South God's lead! Smooth sailing all the way! Ahhh wah wah～ This is way too impressive! South God YYDS!"
(*꒦ິ口꒦ີ) "Freedom! We're about to embrace freedom! South God! You're my big brother! I'll follow you for life! Mwah～"
Nothing more to say, when a brother like South God really takes you along!
The prisoners went completely crazy, turning into primitive gorillas, screaming nonstop, and some even rushed up to kiss Jiangnan!
Only to be slapped into the wall by Jiangnan!
Jiangnan was dumbfounded. What do you mean, escape? I haven't even started yet, dammit!
I was just sleeping a moment ago, and the plan is already being executed?
I wake up and I'm already in the middle of escaping? Passive escape, is that okay?
It's not even three months yet! It's too early, dammit!
Youming's gaze could already kill!
Sure enough! Sure enough!
He raised his hand, and a stream of Stygian Energy wrapped around Jiangnan!
The next moment, Jiangnan was caught in Youming's hand!
(￢ก￢‧̣̥̇) "Huh～ The smell on you, don't come so close, I find it dirty!"
[From Youming, Resentment Points +1007!]
(ꐦ•̀益≠) "Who do you think is the reason for that! You're something else, Jiangnan? You just told me a couple days ago, and today you're actually doing it, huh?"
"Using the Ming He Koi to escape, trying to push the entire Ming He Dead Star out of the Minghe Star Domain?"
Jiangnan's big eyes rolled around nonstop:
(′◔↼◔`) "Ah yes yes yes! Who asked you to disagree? I said I'd do it, so I'm doing it! Not a single lie!"
"And you wanted to get the formulas for Dali and Chicken Soup from me first? No way!"
Youming ground his teeth: "Hurry up! Make the Ming He Koi leave. Do you think the Ming He Dead Star can withstand this abuse?"
"If I weren't protecting it, it would have shattered long ago, and everyone inside the dead star would be dead!"
"If you don't make it leave, I'll kill you!"
Jiangnan immediately went limp and gave up:
ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "Then go ahead and kill me! If you kill me, it'll be even less likely to leave!"
[From Youming, Resentment Points +1008!]
[From...]
Youming's teeth were almost ground to dust. He lowered his voice and said:
(ﾉ)￢益≠) "The Ming He Death Prison can't be lost! The ten thousand races put all the prisoners here under supervision. If I lose the prison, how do I report that?"
"That would be a huge problem! We wouldn't even be able to fake it anymore, you know?"
Jiangnan's expression turned teasing:
(˵ಡʖ̫ಡ˵) "Oh? Fake it? So you're saying you agree to my terms?"
Youming glared: "I didn't say I agree! Quickly get this stinky fish out of here!"
Jiangnan laughed wickedly: "What's this? Didn't you want the Ming He Koi so badly? It's very useful for your Netherworld race, right? Why are you in such a hurry to drive it away?"
Youming's face darkened. He had previously thought about controlling the Ming He Koi to expand his territory!
He had even tried to lure it with massive amounts of Stygian Crystals, but failed, causing heavy casualties!
The Ming He Koi's tail would flick and it would disappear, impossible to find even searching the entire Minghe River, as if it had vanished from this starry sky!
No one knew where the Ming He Koi went!
It came without shadow and left without trace. He tried several times but failed to capture it, and it wasn't every time that the Ming He Koi would appear. Its appearances had no pattern at all!
To prevent the Ming He Koi from appearing and attacking, causing unnecessary casualties, the Stygian Crystals at resource collection points and even those in transport would be shielded with special materials to suppress the crystal aura!
It was already hard enough to lure it, but now that the Ming He Koi had drunk Dali...
Even harder to catch, you know?
He originally thought the Ming He Koi came for the stolen goods Jiangnan brought back, but the koi kept headbutting the dead star without eating?
Clearly not!
But Youming was certain it had something to do with Jiangnan! Just blame him and be done!
"Do you think now is the time for this? Hurry up! Get rid of it!"
Jiangnan cleared his throat:
(￢ก￢) "Alright alright～ Whatever you say, but I can't work for free, right? Can you arrange a warehouse full of Stygian Crystals for me?"
"Don't you have several hundred warehouses?"
Youming glared: "You still have the nerve to ask me for crystals? Don't you already have a sack full? Hidden under Chong Feiyu's bed! Don't think I don't know!"
Asking for a whole warehouse? You really have the nerve, don't you?
Jiangnan's forehead beaded with sweat. Dammit, exposed? This guy peeps?
He's not a good person either, is he?
(˘～˘ƪ) "That was last time, this is now! Can they be the same? I..."
Before he could finish, the Ming He Koi raised its head again, lifting the Ming He Dead Star high!
It looked like it was about to be wrecked beyond repair, and Youming's nosebleed burst out!
(ꐦŏ།益།≠) "Half a warehouse! Get this stinky fish out of here!"
Jiangnan grinned, extended his small whip, and stabbed it into Youming's nostril, taking a sip of blood to replenish!
Swallowing a star's blood, can't waste it!
"Deal!"
[From Youming, Resentment Points +1009!]
With that, Jiangnan pulled a sack from behind, opened the mouth, and poured downward!
He had spent all his Resentment Points last time, but fortunately, his brothers were helpful and had racked up quite a bit for him after returning!
Not much, just over a million or so!
He exchanged it all for Dali 2.0, and buckets upon buckets poured out of the sack!
He was just putting on a show; actually, he was exchanging directly from the system shop!
But Youming's eyes widened. What exactly was this sack?
It had storage functionality? And it could still be used inside the Ming He Death Prison?
Sure enough, after the Dali was poured down, the Ming He Koi immediately gave up headbutting the dead star!
Its fish head turned, opened its mouth, and sucked all the Dali into its fish mouth!
Soon, the koi's bald head seemed even more dazzling!
Youming's eyes flickered. Sure enough! It really came for the Dali, didn't it?
The Ming He Koi loved to drink it too? Its fondness even exceeded that of Stygian Crystals? And it actively came to beg?
If he had Dali on hand and used the right method, controlling the Ming He Koi would be a piece of cake!
This only strengthened Youming's determination to get his hands on Dali!
But the Ming He Koi seemed unsatisfied and turned to headbutt in Jiangnan's direction!
Jiangnan: !!!
I can't withstand this kind of impact!
He quickly waved his hand:
੧੧(☍口⁰。) "No! No more! Next time! Come back next time, okay!"
Then he turned back and frantically signaled Youming with his eyes!
(٥ᵒ̶̶̷̀益˂̶́) "What are you standing there for? I've played the good cop, now you go play the bad cop! Chase it away!"
Youming's forehead veins bulged. Why should you be the good guy and me the bad guy?
My race's sacred beast, and it's closer to you instead?
But what could he do? Who asked him to have no Dali to feed the fish?
He roared and charged forward: "Hey! Don't you leave quickly? Or do I have to use my ultimate move?"
"Domain Expansion • Boundless Stygian River!"
In an instant, Youming's aura surged violently, condensing into a God King Dharma Aspect, and endless Stygian Energy erupted from his body like a resplendent Milky Way!
The Ming He Koi seemed reluctantly to glance this way, then turned its massive fish body around, its tail slapping directly onto the face of the God King Dharma Aspect!
It even gave it a layer of gold paint, and with a flash, it was gone!
Youming: (̿▀̿҉̛̿Ĺ̯̿̿҉̛▀̿҉̛҉̛̿)̄...
Jiangnan pinched his nose. How much must this thing hate Youming, to leave a mark before leaving?
The battered Ming He Dead Star, full of pits, deformations and a bit squashed, finally fell back to the river surface, still smoking from the impacts!
Everything returned to calm!
The prisoners were dejected, huh? Wasn't this an escape? Dammit, they got happy for nothing. The Ming He Koi just left like that?
Bing Chacha's heart settled back down. At that moment, he remembered!
(#ᵒ̶̶̷̀)益(˂̶́#) "Who was it that slapped me in the face just now? Step forward yourself! I promise I won't hold it against you!"
Seeing the Ming He Dead Star saved, Youming finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the smell on him probably wouldn't fade for a while!
Jiangnan, on the other hand, grinned slyly and gave Youming a look!
You know what I mean, right?
