Chapter 2343: You've Got Me All Confused
A thunderous heavenly punishment seemed to be loudly proclaiming Jiangnan's return to the Thousand Stars City!
After all, no one didn't know that Jiangnan had incurred heavenly punishment because of his arrogance!
Wherever the lightning struck, that's where Jiangnan was!
Just as the thunderbolt landed, all sorts of detection methods came flooding in, clearly to confirm the news!
Jiangnan said sourly: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "What are you all looking at? Careful, I might get mad, okay? Huh? Want to fight? Bring it on, then!"
"Careful, I might go visit your home planets, you know? Have you ever seen an action permit before?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a small hand, directly took out the action permit, opened it, and showed it around with golden light shining everywhere, the corners of his mouth lifted high!
The next moment, countless detection methods all retreated!
First-level alarms sounded in the other racial star sectors around the Taoyuan Star Sector, and planetary engines started up!
They pushed their own home planets as far away from the Taoyuan Star Sector as possible, afraid of being implicated.
Jiangnan stood in the starry sky with his hands on his hips, grudgingly putting away the action permit, and said with a pout:
(￢～￢) "What's this? Not a single one who can fight? The action permit is useless for nothing, huh?"
This gave Jiangnan an awkward feeling of holding a treasured sword but having no one to cut down!
Just the reputation of Jiangnan as the Fifth Calamity was enough to make all evils retreat!
Looking at the familiar bustling Thousand Stars City before him, Jiangnan grinned, vaguely remembering that when he was escorted into prison, the whole city was in an uproar, and a farewell ceremony was even held!
Now I've returned transcendent, didn't expect that, huh? Ahahaha~
I'm standing right in front of you now, do I still look like before?
Looking up at the starry sky, the thunderous heavenly punishment had hidden again, probably waiting to ambush him when he wasn't ready!
How can you hold such a grudge, hey!
The record watcher on the Starry Sky Book probably only wrote down 'grudges', right?
With an ultra-long-distance teleport, Jiangnan returned to the Dimensional Star Gate!
(ﾟꇴﾟ)ﾂ "...Brother? Long time no see? Missed you a lot? Hehehe~ Brother Nightingale? Did you miss me? It's been so long! You haven't grown at all? How can that be?"
"In the future, when you have kids, the child will starve to death!"
Yang Jian's mouth twitched. Good grief, after going out and getting struck by heavenly punishment, he could still keep the conversation going?
However, Nightingale had already disappeared from where she was and appeared behind Jiangnan, executing a death rear naked choke, strangling Jiangnan's neck!
(ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "Damn Jiangnan! Why weren't you struck to death by the lightning just now? The kid won't starve to death! But the pandas in the mountains will be starved to death by you, right?"
[From Nightingale: Resentment +777]
Jiangnan kicked his legs and rolled his eyes:
(꒪ͦཀ꒪ͦ｡) "Can't take it, can't take it, can't breathe!"
Yakeli was stunned. Damn, this guy's moves are pretty fast? His ability is on par with Air Speed Force, huh?
Borden widened his eyes: ∑(°口°๑) "Huh? Are humans this amazing? Males can also give..."
Before he could finish, Borden suddenly lowered his head and saw Nightingale's dagger already across his neck.
(ꐦ◣～◢) "Female! I'm female! If your eyes are useless, I'll dig them out for you!"
Borden broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and looked at Jiangnan for help. Wasn't it Brother Nan Shen who called him 'little brother' just now?
Jiangnan put an arm around Nightingale's shoulder:
(￢ꇴ￢〃) "Ah~ don't be so gloomy! How can you grow like that? Laugh a bit more! It helps!"
"After all, joy increases the cup size, right?"
Nightingale: !!!
[From Nightingale: Resentment +1008]
(ꐦ͡’口͡’) "Jiang! Nan! The only thing that never changes about me is my killing intent toward you, hey!"
A steel elbow slammed into Jiangnan's belly with a "bang" sound. Nightingale's eyes widened, and half her arm went numb from the pain!
What kind of body toughness is this?
But with so many people watching, she couldn't rub her arm. That would be embarrassing!
Jiangnan crouched down, holding his stomach, with a pained expression, groaning continuously.
Nightingale: (≖_≖) "Stop pretending, okay? No need to save face for me! Xuexue, aren't you going to control Jiangnan?"
Zhong Yingxue smiled calmly:
(⌒◡⌒๑) "It's fine. Xiaonan will get his retribution. Isn't the heavenly punishment striking him?"
Jiangnan was in tears. Xuexue! Don't say such terrifying things with such a calm face, hey!
Nightingale snickered, rolled her eyes at Jiangnan, and didn't say anything. No matter how strong he became, Jiangnan was still this unreliable.
Forget about him having any airs—it's hard to feel any distance from him!
No matter how far Jiangnan went, he was still that annoying little troublemaker she knew.
Then, one by one, the members of the Bully Gang poured out from the Dimensional Star Gate, more and more of them.
Almost ten thousand people walked out!
Not only was Nightingale's mouth twitching, but even Yang Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Σ(°△°|||) "Jiangnan... these are..."
Jiangnan scratched his head: (°～°〃)୨ "Ah, all from the Bully Gang, my own brothers! Brothers! This is Yang Jian, my Brother Jian! Say hello to Brother Jian!"
The Bully Gang members, all fierce and tough-looking, with full faces of brutality and red eyes, immediately lined up in formation as Jiangnan gave the order.
Then they all bowed ninety degrees to Yang Jian and shouted in unison:
"Hello, Brother Jian! We've suddenly arrived; sorry for the disturbance! Please forgive us, Brother Jian!"
This spectacle made Yang Jian's scalp tingle!
Holy crap! These are all real tough guys, with no small number of planet destroyers among them!
The total number is many times that of humanity's top combat power. Good heavens! They all listen to Jiangnan like this?
Even Nightingale was stunned. If I remember correctly, these people were all prisoners, right?
They're all so polite?
Yang Jian broke out in a cold sweat: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "No disturbance, no disturbance. I welcome you all. Feel free to treat this place as your own home, okay? No need to be too formal."
Just then, Chong Feiyu blushed, looking a bit nervous, and tugged at Jiangnan's sleeve.
(◦ớ﹏ờ)ھ
For some reason, Chong Feiyu suddenly felt like she was going home with Jiangnan to meet the parents!
What if this three-eyed guy doesn't like me?
Jiangnan was confused. Why are you acting shy for no reason, hey!
He directly pulled Chong Feiyu over and pushed her forward.
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Brother Jian? Let me introduce you. Feiyu! This is the one I told you about. She took the human grass and has joined the human faction, becoming our star devourer!"
Yang Jian's eyes lit up, practically glowing!
Chong Feiyu timidly extended her small hand:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷﹏ᵒ̴̶̷)っ "Bro... Brother Jian, hello. I've heard Jiangnan talk about you. My name is Chong Feiyu! From now on... please take care of me!"
Yang Jian was stunned: !!!
Star... star devourer? Calling me Brother Jian?
The Bully Gang was also stunned. Is the big sister sick? Why does she look so timid?
Yang Jian excitedly shook Chong Feiyu's hand:
(∗͡°ꇴ͡°) "Good! Good! That's great! From now on, we're one family! It should be me asking you to take care of us!"
Chong Feiyu was taken aback. One family?
So that means she passed the test? Her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Yang Jian's hand with both hands and gave a firm ninety-degree bow.
"Yes! Brother Jian! I will work hard. If there's anything I do wrong or not up to standard, just tell me directly!"
Yang Jian was petrified on the spot!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪口꒪‧̣̥̇) Bowing?
Bowing to me? Hey hey hey, why do I feel like I'm hiring a star devourer to work at home?
(⌒_⌒;) "No, no... no need to be so polite. Just call me Xiao Jian, ahaha~"
But Chong Feiyu kept bowing: "No! Whatever Jiangnan calls you, I'll call you. The proper respect must be given!"
Yang Jian: =͟͟͞͞(꒪▿꒪‧̣̥̇)
Is this really a star devourer? Where's the airs? The authority? The expert demeanor?
She's this easy to get along with?
You've got me all confused!
Yang Jian had imagined countless possibilities, even prepared offerings and compensation.
After all, you can't have a star devourer protect humanity for free. But in reality, it's completely not like that, dammit!
Not only did she join the human faction to protect humanity, but she also brought 241 mines!
Is this a dowry?
Jiangnan couldn't stand it anymore and yanked Chong Feiyu up.
(◦ﾟﾍﾟ) "You're a star devourer, you know~ This is very embarrassing, okay?"
Chong Feiyu blushed and glared: (⑉Ծ～Ծ⑉) "You... you mind your own business! I'm not embarrassing you, am I?"
Jiangnan was about to say something else when Yang Jian patted him on the shoulder with a sage-like expression, as if he had attained Buddhahood, his whole person seemingly radiating holy light.
❀-`(｡⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴｡)´-❀ "Don't treat her badly."
Jiangnan: ???
Chong Feiyu's face turned even redder as she looked down at her shoes.
Yang Jian grinned: "Even though you've just returned, I don't plan on letting you rest. You've been away from home for too long; it's time to catch up with the home front."
"You can't always be a hands-off boss. There are some things that require your involvement in decision-making. After all, a lot decides the future direction of humanity."
"And you probably have some ideas too, right? The sequence war is about to start; it's a critical period. Everyone wants to hear more about your thoughts."
Jiangnan stretched lazily and grinned:
(￢⇀￢) "I do have some mature thoughts. Let's go, then?"
Although humanity hasn't been part of the starry sky sequence for long and has just stepped onto the starry sky stage, its development has been extremely rapid, changing with each passing day.
Jiangnan hasn't been home for long either, and he even spent three months in the Ming He Death Prison.
Although he had a general impression of humanity's overall development in his mind, he didn't know exactly how far they'd come or what step they were on.
Only with sufficient understanding can the next step be taken better.
It's not that humanity can't function without Jiangnan, but in every climb and struggle, Jiangnan the person, the name 'Nan Shen', has become humanity's spiritual faith.
Yang Jian had already prepared everything. As soon as Jiangnan and his group returned to Taoyuan Star, they immediately rushed to the Taoyuan Village Blue Star Spirit Martial Alliance headquarters without delay.
