Chapter 2287: It's Not Unreasonable for Me to Use My Authority to Settle a Personal Grudge, Right?
If Youming knew that his most beloved goddaughter had been beaten into such a state,
he would probably laugh out loud, wouldn't he?
Jiangnan squatted in front of Jiu Lan and immediately began coaxing her:
(。ớ₃ờ)ھ "Don't cry, don't cry, okay? Be good! You're the future hope of the Netherworld Race, right? How can you cry? Daughters don't easily shed tears, you know?"
(´థжథ) "Crying makes you not so pretty anymore, pfft—"
Even though he knew he shouldn't laugh at a time like this, even Jiangnan, who had been professionally trained, couldn't hold it in. Little Jiu Jiu was just too miserable!
She finally got to go out, only to be beaten like this!
Jiu Lan: !!!
(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅(#) "Wuu—you're still laughing! Still laughing at me! Why don't you just go die! Die, die, die, you!"
Jiangnan quickly wiped Jiu Lan's tears:
(。ớ⥎ờ)ھ "Don't be mad, okay? How about you hit me back? Hit me until you're not angry anymore! I won't dodge!"
As he spoke, he leaned his face in close!
Jiu Lan wiped her tears directly: "I won't hit you! I won't hit you! What's the use of hitting you? It's not like you were the one who hit me!"
At this moment, Jiu Lan looked exactly like a little kid who was bad at playing but loved to play, who suffered a loss and cried out of anger!
Jiangnan coughed lightly and looked seriously at Xia Yao, Mila, and the others:
(٥͡°ก͡°) "You too—why didn't you send me a message before capturing someone?"
"Don't you need to write a self-criticism of thirty to fifty thousand words? Properly admit your mistakes?"
Xia Yao covered her face. She had just said the same thing to Jiangnan, and now it was being returned to her verbatim!
Looking at Jiu Lan, who was crying bitterly from grievance, Da Lang Mie even felt embarrassed!
Zhong Yingxue blushed and said:
(⑉◔﹏◔ิ⑉) "S-sorry, we misunderstood you. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Nan all this time. We... we beat up the wrong person!"
Jiu Lan cried furiously:
(#)༎ຶ⌂༎ຶ) "Even if you beat the wrong person, you didn't even give me a chance to speak! You beat me for half an hour!"
"I thought Jiangnan was already devilish enough, but you all are even more devilish than him!"
Xia Yao shut her eyes tightly, looking nervous:
ฅ(〃≥﹏≤)ฅ "Little Jiu Jiu, you hit me back! I, Da Lang Mie, dare to act and dare to take responsibility! Come on!"
Mila and Lan exchanged glances, also looking embarrassed. They mustered up courage, stepped forward, and each pulled a lollipop from their pocket to hand to Jiu Lan.
They looked pitiful:
(〃ᵒ̴̶̷◠ᵒ̴̶̷)っ-๑ "Big sister, eat some candy. Once you eat candy, it won't hurt anymore~"
Jiu Lan teleported far away instantly!
After what happened, how could she still believe the two of them? They looked harmless, but when it came to kidnapping, they moved like flowing water, vicious and ruthless to the core!
Though she was very angry, she couldn't really hit them back. After all, they were Jiangnan's friends, and they had only attacked her because of a misunderstanding.
If she hit them back, wouldn't Jiangnan feel heartbroken?
But she still felt wronged inside!
Jiu Lan wiped her tears, got up from the ground, and her injuries healed rapidly.
(▼◠▼#) "I've decided!"
Jiangnan's heart tightened. Decided what? Surely she wasn't going to storm off home in a huff, was she?
Jiu Lan puffed out her cheeks and said:
(◦`◠´◦) "I've decided to start a special training to improve your physical fitness and teach you the Netherworld Eight Techniques!"
"You all have no objections, right? You've broken through to Star Breaker, but your physical fitness is pitifully weak, even worse than Jiangnan. How will you survive in the Starry Sky in the future?"
Zhong Yingxue and the others were astonished. It was this good?
After being beaten up, not only was she not angry, she even wanted to teach everyone the unique skills of the Netherworld Race?
Jiangnan's mouth dropped open: Σ(ﾟ口ﾟﾉ)ﾉ "Huh? Isn't that too abrupt? We're still in Tiantang Zhijing right now. We're starting teaching now?"
Jiu Lan stomped her foot in anger:
(￢皿￢ꐦ) "So what? You have to give me a chance to use my authority to settle a personal grudge! To let off some steam!"
"Otherwise, I'll die of anger!"
Jiangnan covered his face. What the hell was "use authority to settle a personal grudge"? So that was her angle!
Xia Yao tilted her head: (๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "The Netherworld Eight Techniques? Are they powerful?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Very useful, especially for close-combat types like you. I was planning to teach you guys after we got out, but this saves me the trouble!"
Xia Yao's eyes lit up. She could get stronger?
"Want to learn!"
Wu Liang slammed his two fists together heavily:
(。•ˇ⥎ˇ•。) "Hehe, settle a personal grudge, huh? Just don't end up crying again after failing to get revenge!"
Jiu Lan: (ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "You're quite confident, huh?"
Jiangnan: (ﾉ)´-﹏-`)
Hopefully that big guy doesn't end up spitting milk later!
"Biao Bing! Set up a Strong-Phase Alloy training ground!"
∠(｀ω´*) "Got it! On it!"
Soon, on the inside of the treasure planet, Borden set up a Strong-Phase Alloy training room.
The training room still used its old name.
The Unconscious Room...
Wu Liang and the others lined up and went in. Qian Benying wanted to escape, but Xia Yao dragged her into the Unconscious Room anyway.
"Come on! Let's go together! There's no such thing as too many skills!"
Jiu Lan stood at the door and looked back at the Bully Gang members:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Anyone else want to join? I don't mind having two more students!"
At that moment, all the Bully Gang underlings shook their heads like rattles.
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ٥≡٥ﾟ﹏ﾟ)
Who would dare go in? To court death?
"Boom!"
The door slammed shut heavily. Jiu Lan directly shouted: "Domain Expansion: Styx Star Charge! Styx Death Seal! 36 Linked Nail Punches!"
Everyone felt the entire planet shake, accompanied by Wu Liang's miserable scream and a loud crash.
The freshly built training room walls were bulging outward from the punches, and Wu Liang's agonized face was imprinted on them.
[⋟皿⋞]...
Everyone shuddered violently. Before long, a series of clanging sounds came from the Unconscious Room.
Obviously, the training had started.
Jiu Lan wasn't weak at all. The reason she had been beaten earlier was because she ran into Mila, a complete bug, and Mila had taken the initiative.
But once Jiu Lan took the initiative, unleashing Stygian Energy and applying the Styx Death Seal, the situation was completely different.
Clearly, Xia Yao, Wu Liang, and the others were about to have another unforgettable training memory.
Jiangnan wasn't worried. Jiu Lan wasn't that petty; she had a sense of proportion.
Taking this opportunity to teach them the Netherworld Eight Techniques was also a good choice.
Chong Feiyu pouted: (◦`3´◦) "So why still haven't I seen Jiangnan get beaten? This isn't scientific!"
Wang Youzhi slapped his thigh:
(￢益￢) "Tsk—that's strange!"
Jiangnan: (˵ಡ⥎ಡ˵)
Hmph, still want to see me get beaten? With my family emperor status?
Is that possible?
Chong Feiyu said dejectedly:
(⇀‸↼‶) "I also want to show off my might a bit and let you guys see the splendor of an Insect Emperor!"
"But given the current situation, is it still possible to take back the Celestial Spirit Chrysalis Shell? Even avoiding pursuit is already taking all our effort, right?"
"Maybe it's better if you just keep me around. It's not so bad being a little bug that just eats and waits for death."
Forget about dealing with Chong Bishi; the Sacred Law Council might attack with their forces at any time.
No matter how optimistic Chong Feiyu was, she couldn't see any hope.
Jiangnan looked smug:
(๑¯ิꇴ¯ิ) "Don't worry! Jiu Lan went out once. Even though she got beaten up, she got the job done!"
"I already told Xuan Se what needs to be done. He'll handle it!"
"This incident won't delay the plan; on the contrary, it will become fuel to mess with Chong Bishi. All we need to do is sit here and wait for Chong Bishi to take the bait!"
"When I was in the bug nest, I saw what was on her mind and learned her plan. Don't worry, she won't just let go. Just wait and see!"
Jiu Lan was still settling personal grudges, while Jiangnan continued absorbing Void Mica to deepen his foundation.
With Boss Pang around, they weren't short of Void Mica.
But Jiangnan still couldn't forget the monster in Tiantang Zhijing. An explosion as big as a Seven-Colored Small Fire Jar couldn't lure it out, and there wasn't even a trace of its presence.
He hadn't even seen its true form yet.
He wondered if he'd have a chance to clash with the monster in Tiantang Zhijing during this time.
It would be best if he could get his hands on the dimensional reduction technique, but fate didn't comply.
The monster never showed up.
Jiangnan had Yakeli maintain his domain to push away the Two-Dimensional Fragments, advancing through Tiantang Zhijing toward the 665 Mining Area.
Jiangnan and his group were living comfortably in Tiantang Zhijing.
Little did they know the outside world had already exploded.
The news of the failed joint capture operation in the 666 Mining Area and the complete annihilation of the army couldn't be hidden.
After all, it was a public operation witnessed by countless eyes.
Although Jiangnan was trapped in Tiantang Zhijing, that didn't guarantee he couldn't get out.
The Beimian Grand Migration accelerated, with even more people fleeing. Even some who had been waiting on the sidelines couldn't sit still and started moving their families.
Videos of the capture operation were even circulating on the Galaxy Network, and discussions about capturing Jiangnan never stopped.
"I knew it wouldn't work. Back in Thousand Stars City, with such a grand scene, they couldn't catch Jiangnan. With just these people? Not even a Star Devourer showed up. Not enough to even fill his teeth!"
"Nan Shen's teeth really are big, huh? Back when he entered Ming He Death Prison, he did so voluntarily. If they really tried to catch him, could they even?"
"With a bounty of positive infinity? Do you know what kind of existence the last person with such a bounty was? The money is right there, and you still can't earn it!"
"If you ask me, just forget about catching Nan Shen. Let it be. Stop provoking him. The Beimian Star is still here now. What if it really disappears? After the Beimian Grand Migration started, the Beimian Star's economy completely collapsed, GDP plummeting. Why bother?"
On the Galaxy Network, all sorts of opinions were flying, and there were even large numbers of bots posting "Nan Shen is awesome" under threads.
Without looking, it was almost entirely human accounts.
Obviously, the Blue Star keyboard warriors had expanded their reach and were already conquering the Galaxy Network.
At that moment, on Ni Shen Star, an emergency meeting was being held after the failed capture operation.
