Chapter 566: Jiangnan's Stance Is My Stance! (Bonus Chapter)
The car drove all the way to the Dragon Abyss headquarters. Inside the command room, Yang Jian and the others were all waiting there, with expectant looks on their faces!
The door opened wide!
Jiangnan walked in with a brilliant smile on his face, one hand in his pocket, entering the command room in a strange posture!
The moment Shanmao saw Jiangnan, her eyes lit up, but then, as if remembering something, she quickly turned her face away, put on a cold expression, pouted her lips, and tried her best to look angry!
Jiangnan's gaze also fell on Shanmao. He blinked twice, and his eyes instantly reddened!
(๐ŏ﹏ŏ๐)
"Wuu~ Wuwuwu—Sister Shanmiao!"
With a cry full of longing, tears rolled down from Jiangnan's eyes!
Without even using teleportation, he just jogged all the way and threw himself into Shanmao's arms, tears splashing through the air!
Shanmao was startled, but she still stood rooted to the spot like a utility pole, refusing to look at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan kept rubbing his head against her and sobbed, "I was so scared! They all bullied me!"
"In Zone 53, a bunch of people surrounded me and beat me up, saying they wanted to kill me! It hurt so much!"
Everyone was speechless.
Oh, please!
In the satellite footage, who was that guy standing on the airplane wing, laughing arrogantly, yelling "I, Jiang Dapa Cannon, won't accept this!" while shelling people with howitzer?
Clearly, you were the one bullying others!
Shanmao bit her lower lip tightly, feeling a bit pained, but still resisted looking at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan: ( ' -﹏ก̀) Wuwu—
"And Piers and the others chased me half across the Pacific Ocean! They chased me and cursed me the whole way! I was so upset I cried!"
"I almost didn't make it back!"
Ye Zhenguo and the others: (zhe~zhe◦)
Come on, kid!
You blew up Zone 53, and they wouldn't go after you?
Clearly, Piers and the others were the ones being cursed by you the whole way, so angry they couldn't even speak, right?
Jiangnan: ˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄﹏˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ Sister Shanmiao, I missed you so much!
Shanmao, who had been biting her lower lip tightly, could no longer hold her face. She pulled Jiangnan into her arms and gently stroked his head.
"Don't cry, hoo~ You're safe now that you're back. They won't bully you anymore!"
Jiangnan: (❛⌂ก̀) Mm-hmm~
Shouhou and a few others also nodded.
Mm-hmm! Now that the Southern God is back, Huaxia is safe. They won't be bullied anymore!
Shanmao: "Then from now on, you're not allowed to lie to me anymore, got it? If something happens, you have to tell me. Do you know how worried I was about you?"
"If you died out there, I... I..."
As she spoke, Shanmao's eyes reddened as well, and Jiangnan's heart melted.
He gently patted Shanmao's back and said softly, "I... am back."
Then he gently wiped away her tears.
Yang Jian: (￢ก￢) Ahem~
Shanmao suddenly straightened up, pushed Jiangnan aside, and stood at attention!
Jiangnan: ...
So love fades, right?
Yang Jian laughed: "You've got guts, kid. Bold and careful. Good, very good!"
Obviously, he already knew the details of what happened.
Jiangnan scratched his nose a little sheepishly: "If it weren't for Brother Ye and the others, I wouldn't have made it back. But uh... did I go a bit overboard with Zone 53?"
Ye Zhenguo was speechless. You only think about that now after blowing up Zone 53?
What were you thinking before?
Yang Jian laughed heartily: "Overboard? Not at all! Many countries have long had the idea to take down Zone 53. They even made plans!"
"But Zone 53 is located inland with strong defenses, so those plans were shelved. I never expected you to actually pull it off!"
"So, what reward do you want? Even just bringing back the research data is a major achievement!"
"As for the Space Spirit Pearl, I've been looking for it for you, but... it's best not to get your hopes up too high."
Speaking of this, Yang Jian frowned slightly, recalling the earlier unpleasantness.
To prepare a reward for Jiangnan, Yang Jian had previously called Li Mingshan, hoping to get a Space Spirit Pearl from him, and then compensate him elsewhere.
As Huaxia's Space System Dao Heaven, Li Mingshan still had two Space Spirit Pearls left, according to records.
However, Li Mingshan refused the request, and Yang Jian couldn't push it.
Jiangnan smiled: "I'll find the Space Spirit Pearl myself later. I haven't been to the Void Sea yet."
"As for rewards, forget it. I made quite a bit of pocket money in the Metropolis this time."
"But I do have one request, Brother Jian..."
Yang Jian waved his hand generously: "Just say it! I'll grant any request I can."
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "I want to give the Bose Body a home in the Toy House, a place for her to live in this world!"
"The Bose Body is not a tool. I don't want to force her to do anything by any means. Everything will be based on her own will. Is that okay?"
As soon as he said this, everyone stared at Jiangnan in shock. Yang Jian was also taken aback.
Jiangnan had his own considerations. If his family were to restrict the Bose Body's freedom like the United States did, using her as a tool to translate incantations, then what was the point of rescuing her from Zone 53?
It would just be jumping from one fire pit into another.
If that were the case, Jiangnan would let the Bose Body leave right now. At least she could have freedom.
Yang Jian stroked his chin: "Bringing back the Bose Body was itself an unexpected surprise. I can agree to your request."
Jiangnan's face lit up with joy.
Yang Jian: "But can you guarantee that the Bose Body won't harm others? If you can, then it's fine to agree."
"However, as far as I know, this Bose Body has caused quite a few injuries on the Mi Guo side. There are things about the Bose Body that you're not yet aware of. They are ultimately uncontrollable factors. They might even..."
Just then, the entire command room lit up with a silvery-white glow.
A figure in a white dress with a single horn on her forehead stepped forward gracefully, her ice-silk long hair fluttering in the wind.
Beautiful! Breathtakingly beautiful!
Everyone present stared blankly at the suddenly appearing Bose Body.
None of them expected the legendary Bose Body to appear before their eyes, as if in a dream.
Wang Zhengyang gasped: "So perfect! Now I know why the Southern God risked his life to rob Zone 53. If it were me, I'd go too!"
Tang Shi pouted: "Tsk~ He managed to bring her back. You'd just be delivering yourself as a meal, huh?"
The Bose Body spoke softly: "I can help you translate the incantations."
"But our script is our own. It will take some time to translate it to a level you can understand."
"Mi Guo kept me locked up for ten years. The total amount of incantations I translated was only about 20% of the whole. Some of it was wrong. I did it on purpose because I didn't want to cooperate with them."
At this moment, everyone stared at the Bose Body in shock. She was actually talking!
And in Chinese!
Ah, this...
Yang Jian was stunned: "You're really willing?"
The Bose Body shrugged, stepped behind Jiangnan, rested her hands on his shoulders, and placed her chin on top of them.
"Naturally, I have to show my value. Mainly, I don't want to make things difficult for Jiangnan."
"If I cooperate, the translation progress will increase significantly."
"Also, I'm not bad in terms of combat power. If I manage to gather enough Bose Particles, my strength should be equivalent to your so-called Dao Heaven Rank, right?"
"Within my power, I can help you deal with some troublesome matters."
Yang Jian was confused. She's this cooperative?
Doesn't that mean they've practically gained a Dao Heaven Rank powerhouse for free? And one who can help translate incantations?
In other countries, aren't Dao Heaven Rank powerhouses treated like royalty?
Compared to that, Jiangnan's condition hardly even counts as a condition.
At this moment, Jiangnan felt a warmth in his heart. He knew very well that the Bose Body was making concessions to demonstrate her value and secure favorable terms.
Yang Jian took a deep breath and frowned deeply.
"Why help humans? What's your stance? As far as I know, the Bose Body..."
The Bose Body spoke: "I know what you're worried about. There are some things I can't say much about."
"But I can tell you this: I am a wanderer, an outcast."
"I have no stance. Jiangnan's stance is my stance."
"I'm not helping humanity. I'm helping Jiangnan."
As soon as she said this, Yang Jian was stunned. Ye Zhenguo and Zhao Dezhu exchanged glances, their expressions grave.
As for the others, they were completely confused.
The Bose Body continued: "Once upon a time, I was full of disappointment with your world. Everywhere I looked, there was only malice."
"I don't belong here. I don't belong to my homeland. At one point, I even wanted to end my own life."
She gently rubbed her cheek against Jiangnan's. "Until I met Jiangnan. He is my light."
"I gradually changed my views. I want to live a new life and accept this world."
Jiangnan grinned: "So... is that okay, Brother Jian?"
Yang Jian smiled too: "Okay!"
