Chapter 2370: Forced to Agree
At this moment, the students who had been sternly reprimanded by Jiangnan clenched their fists tightly!
Clearly, this was an unforgettable entrance ceremony, and Jiangnan's words would be deeply engraved in their hearts!
Looking up at the starry sky, forging ahead with determination—that was what they needed to do now. A spark of passion rose in every student's eyes!
Be the best version of yourself, then surpass Nan Shen, and lead the era?
Wang Youzhi covered his face. Could this kid Jiangnan really be such a good talker?
Surpass you? You're just bragging, right?
Throughout the entire history of humanity, how many freaks like you have there been? Looking across the starry sky, who else could use a Black Hole Devouring Star?
Only when these tender newbies truly grow up will they realize just how unattainable a height Jiangnan stands at now!
Even Zhong Yingxue and the others had to give it their all just to keep up with Jiangnan's pace!
Surpass Nan Shen? Probably impossible even with a lifetime of effort!
But hey, as a person, you still need to have dreams!
The students hadn't come in vain. With reverence, they approached the giant tree to pay homage and offer flowers!
Guan Hu watched this scene and breathed a sigh of relief. Having Jiangnan say a few words was a good thing—better than them suffering losses later!
They were still young, with immature minds but strong plasticity. In the future, they could become the people they wanted to be!
And that was exactly what Pioneer Academy existed for!
"Nan Shen? Is it really you?"
A slightly surprised voice interrupted Jiangnan's thoughts!
A girl in a light green dress with a round sunhat stood under the tree, holding her hat with one hand and breathing a bit quickly!
She had clearly run over!
Jiangnan said with delight: (∗ﾟꇴﾟ∗) "Chen Xi, Little Chen Qi? Long time no see!"
She was Elder Chen's granddaughter. Jiangnan vaguely remembered the time she chased after a train and even laid an egg, taking it to the hospital for a check-up...
Chen Xi ran over joyfully: "It really has been a long time! I heard you were back, but I didn't expect to find you here. What are you all doing?"
Jiangnan smiled: "Came to see Elder Chen and also to check on you all. Is the Chen family doing well now?"
Chen Xi paused, looked up at the towering tree, and a gentle smile spread across her face:
(∗❛ั◡❛ั∗) "Very well. The Chen family has settled in Daoyi City. The clan is thriving. Many of the younger generation have joined the Spirit Martial Alliance and the Pioneer Corps. We're a major clan now!"
"Grandpa stands here, watching his descendants go out one generation after another, making names for themselves. He must be smiling happily, right? This was his only wish."
Both of them looked up at the great tree, remaining silent for a long time. A gentle breeze rustled the branches, as if greeting Jiangnan.
"If the Chen family ever needs anything, come find me anytime. I will fulfill my promise."
Chen Xi smiled: "Don't worry about a thing. As for you, many people are watching your back. Go further, aim higher, okay?"
"I'll cheer for you in the Sequence War. Fight well! Dazzle them like you always did!"
Jiangnan's smile grew even brighter: "Then just wait and see!"
He then looked toward the academy: "Someone's waiting for me. I'll head back to the academy first. I'll be staying for a while. Come find me when you have time."
With that, he nodded to Chen Xi, used Teleportation, and vanished from the square with everyone.
Chen Xi stared blankly at the spot where Jiangnan had disappeared.
The next moment, a sudden strong wind swept across the square, forcing Chen Xi to take two steps forward. She grabbed her hat and smiled bitterly at the giant tree.
Grandpa, was that you?
"Stop messing around. We've long been in different worlds. I just hope he gets better and better."
Perhaps once, Chen Xi had harbored some fantasies about Jiangnan, but as time passed and she matured, those unrealistic illusions had faded.
Jiangnan had soared too high—so high that she couldn't even see his silhouette.
Even when they met, she didn't know what to talk about.
It was better to treasure and savor it as a memory.
"Time to go home. I'll come back to see Grandpa another time!"
...
At Pioneer Academy, after sending the students back to the training ground, Jiangnan went straight to the small courtyard of Maple Forest Villa.
Jiang Ning, Jiang Jing, and the triangle fatty received news of Jiangnan's return and rushed back immediately.
٩(•̀ꇴ•́๑)۶ "Heya~ Jiangnan Gege, Jingjing missed you so much!"
Jiang Jing leaped into Jiangnan's arms and rubbed against him nonstop. After so long apart, she hadn't grown at all!
Jiangnan laughed heartily: "I missed Jingjing too! Did you listen to Sister Ningning? What have you been busy with all this time?"
Jiang Ning smiled dotingly:
(๑ᵒ̴̶̷◡ᵒ̴̶̷) "Jingjing has done great things lately. She took Little Fatty around to modify star cores and set up Ling Xu on stationed planets. She hasn't stopped at all!"
Jiang Jing nodded: (｡ᵒ̌◠ᵒ̌) "Exactly! So tiring! But I got rewarded with spicy sauce for Jingjing. I've achieved spicy sauce freedom now! I can eat three bottles of Old Lady in one meal!"
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥)
Aren't you afraid of getting choked?
But Chong Feiyu was dumbfounded. Whoa, what's going on? How are there Bose bodies on humanity's home planet?
And a Spirit Medium with a Creation Beast?
The Creation Beast, Little Fatty, lying on Jiang Jing's head, said listlessly:
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･｡) "What Little Fatty? Call me Little Skinny from now on. I'm the one doing all the work! Jingjing just travels to different planets for tourism!"
Jiangnan and the others looked at the Creation Beast in shock!
∑(°口°๑) "Whoa! The triangle fatty is speaking human language?!"
Creation Beast: (｡≖～≖｡)
"So what if I, as a Creation Saint Beast, speak human language? I learned it in no time!"
"By the way, when can I get a vacation? I'm getting thin from all this work!"
Jiangnan's expression gradually turned mischievous:
(˵ಡ್ಲಡ) "Ahem~ A vacation is nothing! Your Brother Nan has worked hard through countless difficulties to get you a reward for your outstanding contributions to humanity!"
"Just you wait and be happy!"
Little Fatty's mouth twitched: (´-﹏-｀) "Don't tell me it's a box of 82-year-old Old Lady spicy sauce? For the record, I don't like spicy sauce!"
But Jiang Jing's eyes sparkled:
(ง✧ﾛ✧)ง "What?! 82-year-old Old Lady spicy sauce? Where? Where?"
Chong Feiyu: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
What weird hobbies are these? I, Feiyu Insect Emperor, have roamed the starry sky for years, but this is the first time I've heard of a Bose body loving spicy sauce!
Jiangnan cackled: "But before I give it to you, I need to check if you've got the balls!"
With that, he picked up Little Fatty and took a peek!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Oh~ Not bad! A real man!"
[From Triangle Fatty's Resentment Points +777!]
Frightened, Little Fatty quickly covered himself. Don't just grab me and look! Don't I have dignity?
He struggled in Jiangnan's arms.
Jiangnan said mysteriously:
(ﾉ)ಡ3ಡ) "Listen up, okay? Your Brother Nan has brought you a wife. She looks like the type that can pop out lots of kids. You won't have to be a lone wolf anymore!"
"You're about to live a shamelessly happy life~"
As soon as he said this, Little Fatty was dumbfounded, and Jiang Ning stood frozen. She had heard that Jiangnan had captured a Creation Beast from the Bose clan's big mine lord, but she hadn't believed it!
Now seeing Jiangnan drag a wriggling sack out of the Alternate Dimension, she snapped back to reality.
It was real after all!
During this time, Jiangnan had changed sacks for Yingyu many times, but she still seemed unconvinced.
Little Fatty swallowed hard:
(⑉꒪△꒪⑉) "A-a wife? For me? I'm still young. Can I get married?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั∗) "Of course! Ambition doesn't depend on age; the younger, the more flashy. Besides, a couple working together makes the work lighter. Just be grateful!"
"Sister Ningning! To prevent her from running away, come and sign a spirit contract with her!"
Jiang Ning: ???
(°﹏°〃) "N-no! I was originally from a lower clan. My horn was attached later, and I'm not a chosen Spirit Medium. I can't contract a Creation Saint Beast. There's no precedent in the Bose race!"
Jiangnan shrugged: "No precedent? Then we'll make one!"
With a fierce expression, Jiangnan turned to the wriggling sack, pulled out the Godslayer Blade, and stabbed it into the sack opening!
(ꐦ▼皿▼)っ¤=]=͟͟͞͞=͢͟͟͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞7
"I know you can hear me! Your original Spirit Medium has already been gelded by me. Now you have two choices. One: refuse to sign a contract with Sister Jiang Ning, and I'll slice you with the Godslayer Blade every single day."
"Two: sign the contract with Sister Jiang Ning, make her your new Spirit Medium, and then live a shamelessly happy life with a young, vigorous little fresh beast. Which one do you choose?"
"Don't think I can't do such cruel things. When I go crazy, I even cut myself. I have no conscience whatsoever!"
At this moment, Yingyu, stuffed in the sack, trembled. Was this human such a devil?
Back in the Bose race, everyone treated me with respect and awe!
But here, I'm living a life that isn't even fit for a god! And they want to chop me into jelly bits?
Jiangnan coughed lightly: (๑͡°ก͡°) "Move once if you agree, move twice if you disagree, and then I'll kill you!"
[From Yingyu's Resentment Points +666!]
Did she even have a choice? She had to agree!
So she obediently moved once.
Jiangnan grinned: (๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "See! Little Fatty! She agreed to your marriage! She's trembling with excitement! Must be overjoyed! That's the power of love, I guess!"
Triangle Fatty covered his face. Was that really agreement with a knife to her throat?
Why did he feel an inexplicable sense of guilt?
Wu Liang, Xiao Jiuwo, and the others twitched their mouths. Here it comes again—the Spirit Pet Chef was showing off!
