Chapter 797: A Little Panic
At this moment, Lanbo and Fenbo couldn't help but recall the terror of being dominated by the Jiang Devil!
They trembled uncontrollably.
Now even their boss was unreliable?
What could they possibly do?
Jiangnan: (｡･᷄ก･᷅) Ahem~
Lanbo and Fenbo jolted, quickly running behind Jiangnan.
Fenbo's little hands radiated warmth as she massaged Jiangnan's shoulders!
"Boss Devil, how's the strength? Fenbo's skills haven't gotten rusty, right?"
Lanbo pulled a bottle of "Mai Bu Dong Le" from her backpack, releasing a burst of cold air: "Here, boss, have some water—it's chilled! I'll open it for you!"
With that, she twisted off the cap and brought it to Jiangnan's lips!
Ling Feng and Gong Lin stared in utter bewilderment.
We remember these two are Odin's subordinates, right?
Why are they so skilled at serving Jiangnan?
Odin was just as confused—I'm their boss, and I don't even get this treatment!
Jiangnan: (｡˘ٹ˘｡)
"Yeah, that hits the spot!"
...
They arrived at the lighthouse and parked all thirty thousand Heracules Armored Vehicles.
Jiangnan and his group entered the lighthouse's conference hall, while Mi Ye went to take a shower.
Lanbo quickly stepped forward to pull out a chair for Jiangnan.
Odin, standing nearby, felt a bit lonely. You two have taken over all my jobs!
Doesn't that make me, as his underling, completely useless?
Jiangnan sat down with pleasure.
Just then, Mi Ye came out after showering and changing clothes, her hair still dripping wet.
She sat directly across the conference table, casually propping her long legs on it and draping an arm around Mei's shoulder.
Her pretty face was frosty: "I showered, so why do I still smell? You owe me!"
Jiangnan quickly pulled out a can of durian pulp and tossed it to Mi Ye.
"Eat a bite, and the smell will go away!"
Mi Ye looked skeptical but didn't eat immediately. Instead, she raised an eyebrow.
"Spill it. What's with the Abyss mutation?"
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "Have you heard of the Creation Beast?"
Mi Ye frowned: "Go on."
So Jiangnan recounted the events of the tenth layer, of course only mentioning what he could.
At that moment, both Mi Ye and Ling Feng's group were utterly shocked.
So that's how Spirit Realms come into being? There really are creatures powerful enough to create Spirit Realms?
And just its mental fluctuations alone caused the entire Abyss to mutate?
This was the hidden mission Nan Shen mentioned?
Holy crap!
Then this hidden mission you pulled off is way too insane, right?
Mi Ye's expression turned extremely grim, clearly aware of something.
"Why should I believe you? Even if you're a Space System user, how could you possibly survive falling into a dimensional gap?"
And this experience was way too fantastical?
Even cartoons wouldn't dare to go this far!
Jiangnan rolled his eyes, pulled out his phone, opened the photo album, and tossed it to Mi Ye. "Why would I lie to you?"
Mi Ye took a closer look.
In the photo, Jiangnan was riding his beloved bike with Xia Yao on the back, taking a selfie with the Creation Beast as the background, grinning like a maniac.
٩(๐˃̶ڡ˂̶(❛ัꇴ❛ั∗)۶(٥yi wei yi)
The sheer size of the Creation Beast deeply shocked Mi Ye.
Her mind couldn't settle for a long time.
And you were in a dimensional gap and still had the mind to take a selfie?
And smiling so happily?
Mi Ye took a deep breath and said flatly: "Photos can be photoshopped. I don't believe you."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "If you don't believe me, ask my little brother!"
Odin was about to speak when Mi Ye cut in: "He's an idiot. He'll just believe whatever you say!"
"I need proof."
Odin glared: "I'm not an idiot! Most of the time, I'm sharp as a tack! Are you looking down on me, Odin?"
☚(｡˘•kou•˘) "Boss! She called me stupid!"
Mi Ye rubbed her forehead. Odin was beyond saving.
Jiangnan was about to respond when the void suddenly rippled violently.
Jiang Ning, dressed in a white gown and semi-transparent, appeared abruptly behind Jiangnan, her face cold.
"Jiangnan doesn't need to prove anything to you. Whether you believe him or not is your problem."
"If Jiangnan hadn't pulled that nail, how long do you think you'd have lasted as queen?"
Mi Ye flicked Jiangnan on the forehead, and Jiang Ning was furious, so she naturally had no kind words for her.
Mi Ye's pupils contracted sharply, a crimson light flaring in her eyes. She shot to her feet, her emotions stirred.
"A Bose Body! I knew it!"
This must be the one Jiangnan rescued from Area 53!
Without the help of a Bose Body, there's no way Jiangnan could have survived the dimensional gap.
And Huaxia didn't imprison her? They didn't even use any control methods? They just let her out?
Aren't they afraid she'll run?
And the way she defends Jiangnan so fiercely? Such a close bond?
What's going on? Even Mi Ye couldn't figure it out.
Jiangnan smiled bitterly: "Sister Ningning? She was just trying to provoke you into showing yourself!"
Jiang Ning: (｡•̀~•́) "No worries, she can't catch me."
Mi Ye slammed her hands on the table: "Which side are you on?"
Jiang Ning wrapped an arm around Jiangnan's shoulder and pulled him into her embrace: "I'm on Jiangnan's side."
Mi Ye paused, then smiled faintly, slowly sitting back down. "Interesting."
"Thanks for the info on the Abyss mutation. Also, want to cooperate again?"
Jiangnan frowned: "Cooperate? What do you mean?"
Mi Ye shrugged: "I don't care about those two resource layer cores—you brought them back with your own skills."
"But whether you can keep them is another matter. I can guarantee your safety within Nightless City."
"Until Huaxia sends someone to pick you up."
"But once you leave the Abyss, whether you can successfully bring the cores back to Huaxia, I can't control. What do you think?"
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"Not necessary, right? I think I can handle it."
Two Dao Heaven rank fighters, a bunch of brothers, thirty thousand Heracules Armored Vehicles—I can't defend two cores?
What kind of big scene is this?
Mi Ye tapped her fingers and said flatly: "Eagle Country has twenty thousand Golden Lion Spirit Martial troops, plus the Whisperer and the Hurricane, two Dao Heaven rank fighters, waiting just outside the Abyss sea."
"Mi Country has thirty thousand Black Panther Spirit Martial troops, with Star Picker, Sea King, and Piers on the way."
"Hong Guo's Eight Serpents are also on the move. Do you want me to continue?"
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥) Huh?
How many Dao Heaven rank fighters is that?
Did you all agree to come here for a mahjong game?
Jiangnan, who wasn't panicked before, suddenly felt a little panicked.
Mi Ye: "Do you think resource layer cores are nothing? They're the foundation of a nation's power! Everyone will fight tooth and nail for them."
"And right now, you're holding two of them in your hands."
"The news that you're back in Nightless City has already spread. Maybe the moment you step out of the lighthouse, seven or eight Dao Heaven rank fighters will charge down and kidnap you."
"With just a big idiot and a Bose Body, it'll be hard to protect you."
Jiangnan's forehead dripped with sweat: "I'm telling you, don't scare me, okay?"
Odin: ☚(｡˘•kou•˘) "Boss! She called me stupid again!"
Mi Ye: (๐°᷄◡°᷅) "I'm just stating the facts. So, want to cooperate?"
"What I want is simple: the interpretations for 3,548 incantation symbols. That should be easy for a Bose Body, right?"
Jiangnan was taken aback. He didn't expect Mi Ye to value Jiang Ning's translation ability.
Before Jiangnan could speak, Jiang Ning nodded: "Agreed. But you have to keep your word too."
Mi Ye was thrilled inside.
She had held the Abyss first-layer core for many years and had already deciphered most of the incantations through various means.
The rest were all the ones she couldn't figure out. Even with Odin's help once, many remained untranslatable.
After all, only Bose Bodies could read this stuff.
Now that she had met Jiang Ning, this was a rare opportunity—how could she miss it?
She extended her hand toward Jiangnan: "Then, happy cooperation? Hope you make it back to Huaxia alive."
Jiangnan: (■Ĺ̯■٥)…
Their hands clasped together. The deal was struck.
As their hands met, Mi Ye's brow furrowed slightly. Her hand began to restlessly rub and squeeze Jiangnan's small hand…
Jiangnan: ???
"Tell me the truth. Have you fallen for me?"
Mi Ye's face flushed red. She flung Jiangnan's hand away and snapped, "Pfft! Who would fall for a Southern Man? Ridiculous!"
"It's just… the feel of your hand reminds me of someone."
Jiangnan shuddered. What the hell?
No wonder Mi Ye always acted weird. She could recognize someone just by the feel of their hand?
Just how much do you love Lanlan?
He'd better be careful. If he slipped up, no need for other Dao Heaven fighters—Mi Ye alone would tear him apart!
