# Chapter 2356: The Demon King Sets Out! Nothing Grows
Before he could finish speaking, Mountain Cat cut him off!
Mountain Cat said seriously:
(∗❛ั◠❛ั) "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to go. Since you came back, you've been busy with this and that, never even touching the ground, have you?"
"Always running around for humanity and the starry sky situation. How long has it been since you rested? The Black Hole Devouring Star already has side effects. Do you want to exhaust yourself to death?"
Jiang Nan protested: "But..."
Mountain Cat glared: "But what? Be obedient! Don't you listen to me anymore? Rest assured, before the Sequence War, we'll come back to participate in the Cosmos Grand Hunt!"
"You stay home and rest for a while, conserve your energy, adjust your state, and enjoy the calm before the storm. There are more important things waiting for you to do!"
"Leave these trivial little matters to me! Ao~"
By the end, Mountain Cat was already speaking in a tone coaxing a child!
Jiang Nan looked disappointed: (◞‸◟) "Not letting me go with you... is it because you're afraid I'll hold you back?"
Mountain Cat was speechless. Hey hey hey! If you came along, we'd be the ones holding you back, right?
(◦`~´◦) "Anyway, just stay home obediently. If you behave... I might... reward you..."
Jiang Nan perked up immediately:
(*⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) "What reward? A kiss? Or cool photos? Or goose box..."
Before he finished speaking, Mountain Cat, face red as a big apple, raised her hand and gave Jiang Nan's head a big lump!
Jiang Nan rubbed his head furiously, sucking in air from the pain:
୧(′◔﹏◔`)୨ "Could it be that the reward is a big lump?"
Mountain Cat said grumpily: (꒪ั～꒪ั*) "Haven't... haven't thought of it yet. We'll talk later!"
Jiang Nan said excitedly: (ง͡°͜ʖ͡°)ว "Then let's go shopping! Since entering the Starry Sky Era, we haven't really strolled around Thousand Stars City, have we? Let's go, let's go!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Mountain Cat and was about to leave.
Mountain Cat looked embarrassed:
(⑉Ծ～Ծ⑉) "What's fun about shopping? A waste of time! Better to practice the new skills I learned. Besides, I have to set off tomorrow. I..."
Jiang Nan said fiercely: "You said you wanted to reward me! Can't you even grant this little request? If you don't go, I'll follow you anyway!"
Mountain Cat couldn't argue with Jiang Nan, so she nodded in agreement.
Jiang Nan cheered, then waved to the distance:
✧*｡٩(°᷄ꇴ°᷅*)و✧*｡ "Going to Thousand Stars City to shop and have fun! Anyone want to sign up?"
Xia Yao ran over with excitement:
૮ºﻌºაฅ "Sign up +1"
The Bully Gang members who had finished their physical examinations pounded their chests and cheered! Only Yakeli and Jiu Lan were absent.
Liu Mang, Iron Bull, and Blood Platelet, who had been beaten to pig heads by Jiang Nan, revived from their death-like states upon hearing about shopping and clamored to go together.
Suo Na's mouth twitched: "Boss Nan? With his status, going to Thousand Stars City for shopping... Does he really have no self-awareness?"
Wang Youzhi's eyes were full of excitement:
(΄◞ิꇴ◟ิ‵) "I'm already looking forward to it. Hehehe~"
Speaking of Thousand Stars City, which planet was the most prosperous? Of course, Wanxiang Star!
So Jiang Nan and the others, who had decided to see Mountain Cat off, set out for Wanxiang Star in a grand procession.
...
Wanxing's Eighth Star Port. At the port stood a huge Dimensional Star Ring!
Beside it stood the Silicon Speed Star Port's Mechanical Wormhole, the Particle Transmission, and the Bobo Star Navigation's Star Gate!
But compared to the other two, the business of Dimensional Star Navigation was clearly better.
The entire star port was bustling with people. Suddenly, the space vortex of Dimensional Star Navigation rippled!
Jiang Nan, along with his team members, Mountain Cat and the others, plus ten thousand Bully Gang members, stepped out directly from the Dimensional Star Ring!
Jiang Nan wore flip-flops, big shorts, and an open beach floral shirt, abs shining!
Around his neck was a thick gold chain, in his hands he spun a string of glass horns, and on his face were sunglasses!
In his mouth was a pacifier, worn crookedly.
(๑▀₃▀)୨～Hoo~
The moment he stepped out, an aura of vulgar dominance radiated in all directions!
Mountain Cat: (̿▀̿﹏▀̿̿٥)
Xia Yao: (ﾉ)´-﹏-`)
Zhong Yingxue: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
Ahhh~ I don't know this person! So embarrassing!
Going shopping is fine! But why dress like this?!
However, the moment Jiang Nan and his group arrived at the star port, the originally bustling and noisy port instantly fell silent!
As if time had stopped, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Nan!
Their expressions gradually turned to terror!
Σ(|||⚆口⚆)...
Jiang Nan stretched out two fingers, pinched the pacifier, took a big suck, pulled it out with a "pop" sound!
He spat it out, producing a cloud of milky aroma!
He said arrogantly:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy?"
The next moment, the entire star port descended into chaos. Countless people let out terrified screams!
ﾚ(ﾟ口ﾟ;)ﾍ=З=З=З "Ahhh! Nan Shen came to Wanxiang Star! Wanxiang Star is doomed! Run! Run!"
(☍﹏⁰。)☛ "See that? That's Nan Shen! The one mentioned in the rookie manual! What are you standing there for? Run!"
(٥థ益థ) "Mas... Master! Save me! My legs are numb! I can't run! Wuwu~"
The master hoisted the apprentice and ran. Within three seconds, the entire star port was empty!
Not a single person was left. They all rushed out of the star port like a zombie tide!
Even the starships that had flown here through the Mechanical Wormhole, upon seeing Jiang Nan, made a tight emergency brake, turned around, and flew back against traffic!
Not caring if they collided!
Jiang Nan put the pacifier back in his mouth, looking speechless:
(￢～￢) "What are they doing? I didn't say I was going to destroy Wanxiang Star? Why are they running so fast? As if they've seen a ghost?"
Wu Liang's mouth twitched: "Mainly, the reputation of the Fifth Calamity is too big. Even if Boss Nan doesn't go big, they're afraid of being struck by lightning, right?"
At these words, everyone immediately moved far away from Jiang Nan, afraid that a thunderous heavenly punishment might fall at any time!
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั*) "We're shopping! Be happy! Why be afraid of this and that? Let's go! I remember there's a snack street outside the star port?"
"Let's try the specialties of Wanxiang Star first!"
Saying this, he put his hands in his pockets, hummed a little tune, and strolled toward the snack street!
The Bully Gang members could only follow cautiously, but they remained vigilant at all times, ready for heavenly thunder to strike!
However, this scene looked a bit off to others!
Jiang Nan had a cocky expression, hands in pockets, strolling along, followed by a group of fierce-looking thugs with red eyes scanning everywhere...
Who wouldn't be unsettled seeing this?
As soon as they entered the snack street, Jiang Nan smelled the aroma of grilled fire dragon tail, swallowed, and said:
٩(º﹃º٩) "Hey boss? How much per skewer? Give me..."
With a "clang," the boss, face pale, directly pulled down the alloy steel door of the shop and closed for business!
Jiang Nan's mouth twitched!
(°～°〃) "Uncle! How much is this grilled star squid leg? I want..."
Before he finished, the uncle shuddered, shouldered his stall, made a big leap, and flew into the sky like a missile toward the stars!
Jiang Nan's forehead was covered in sweat. He turned to other shops, only to see alloy steel doors falling one after another, all closing!
The tourists on the snack street had all run away!
Jiang Nan's movements froze. A gust of green wind blew past. The street was deserted!
Just then, a three-headed hellhound walked out of an alley. Jiang Nan's gaze immediately fell on it!
The hellhound also noticed Jiang Nan. Its pupils contracted violently. The whole dog shook like a sieve!
One man and one dog's gazes met in the air, intertwined!
The hellhound turned to run!
ʕ⚆﹏⚆ʕ꒦ິ﹏꒦ີʔ´༎ຶ﹏༎ຶʔ
Jiang Nan glared: (ꐦ͡°皿͡°)☛ "Stop! Where are you going? Why are you running?"
The hellhound directly started speaking the language of a thousand stars!
ʕ⚆皿⚆ʕ꒦ິ口꒦ີʔ´༎ຶ益༎ຶʔ "Nan Nan Nan... Boss Nan! I'm wrong! I shouldn't have appeared in your sight! If slapping my face can make you happy, then slap away!"
"Three heads! Slap whichever you want! Just spare my three dog lives!"
Jiang Nan said speechlessly: (≖～≖) "Why would I slap your face?"
The three-headed hellhound swallowed: "Everyone says: 'When the Nan Shen sets out, nothing grows!'"
"Even dogs passing by get two slaps! Even eggs get shaken until the yolk is scattered! I I I... I'm out!"
The three-headed hellhound frantically dug the ground, gouging a hole in the alloy floor, and actually drilled through to escape...
Jiang Nan's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿ꐦ) "Who said that? When did I ever slap a dog's face? Have I ever done something so excessive?"
Mountain Cat said seriously: "Yes!"
Jiang Nan: (≖_≖)...
Wang Youzhi: (´థжథ)σ Pfft~
"Plague, calamity... that's you, isn't it? And you want to shop? As soon as you arrive, everything closes down!"
Jiang Nan gritted his teeth. This was absolutely no experience!
How could this work? He couldn't feel the local customs of Wanxiang Star at all!
(ꐦ°᷄口°᷅ꐦ) "Dammit! All of you, open your doors and receive customers! I want to buy snacks! The kind that pays! I'll count to three! If you don't open, I'll throw a tantrum, you hear!"
"Three! Two!..."
"Boom!"
Jiang Nan's violent aura erupted, as if he would unleash a big move in the next second!
The next moment, all the alloy steel doors of the shops opened simultaneously! All kinds of shouts and hawking sounds came at once!
The originally silent snack street became extremely lively again! But each boss was shaking like a fascia gun!
"Nan Shen~ What would you like? How much do we have to give you? It's a small business. Can you take a little less?"
Jiang Nan: (ﾉ)益(ヾ)
I give you money! Not you give me! Do you think I came to rob?!
Half an hour later, the Bully Gang left the snack street with full bellies!
Only Xing Cheng was still hungry, looking back at the snack street with lingering longing!
Mountain Cat grabbed a golden-yellow cake and took two bites:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷〰ᵒ̴̶̷) "Mmm~ This mother-in-law cake is pretty good. Never tasted it before!"
Jiang Nan turned and bit directly: "Really? Let me try!"
Mountain Cat glared, took two steps back. That was just where I bit. If Jiang Nan eats it, then it's indirect... indirect...
Thinking this, Mountain Cat's face suddenly turned red. But Jiang Nan was big-hearted, eyes sparkling:
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Oh wow! Thank his mother-in-law! This is delicious!"
Xia Yao looked at Mountain Cat teasingly. Aiya, so pure!
Suo Na said excitedly: "What's so great about mother-in-law cake? Boss Nan, try this box of slug salad! A starry sky delicacy! And it's good for the throat!"
Samo glared: (ꐦŎ益Ŏ) "Bah! Is that even human food? Boss Nan, try this cold mixed purple crystal ore! Oh my mami~ The neighbor's kid is crying for it!"
As he spoke, he chewed, sending sparks flying!
Boden rolled his eyes: (꒪ั益꒪ั*) "Forget it. What nutrition does that have? Boss Nan! Eat this braised screw cap! Baked at 5000 degrees until red hot, then sprinkled with iron tetroxide as seasoning! Gosh, this boss really knows! Ooh hoo hoo~ Hot!"
Jiang Nan's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Is this food that carbon-based lifeforms can eat?"
These snacks are too hard!
Mountain Cat finished the cake in two bites, even licked her fingers: "Where to next? Anyway, wherever you go, they'll close up, right?"
Jiang Nan grinned: (๑¯ิ̫¯ิ) "Of course, go wander around the Shield Guild? Indeed! Adventurer guilds, bounty hunters, that's more starry sky style! Last time I didn't get to apply!"
"Today I'll apply to be a bounty hunter! Let's go!"
Suo Na sprayed out a mouthful of slug. Damn!
The number one fugitive on the Starry Sky Wanted List is going to wander around the Shield Guild?!
Can this really work?
