Yu
Chapter 1037 One Person
The Starfall Organization on the alien planet achieved a resounding victory in their first battle, accelerating their advance towards the destruction of the peninsula.
Meanwhile, on Earth, after grinding for a week's worth of star beads in the Void Dimension, Jiang Xiao finally brought good news to Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan.
Linked spiritually to the Buzzing Whale, Jiang Xiao clearly saw that Gu Shi'an and Yi Qingchen had both successfully absorbed their respective star pets – the Soul of the Sea Eater!
"Success!" Jiang Xiao wiped his wet face, smearing the grime even further.
"What's successful?" Xia Yan, bathed in domain tears, washed her hands without looking up as she asked.
Jiang Xiao said, "Shi'an and Qingchen succeeded."
"Yaha? Fantastic! My Great Cloak Organization has gained two more capable members!" Xia Yan looked delighted, cupping rainwater in her hands and splashing it onto Jiang Xiao's grimy face.
"Pfft..." Jiang Xiao shook his head, scattering droplets of rain onto Han Jiangxue, who was constantly being rained on within the domain tears, but still instinctively stepped aside.
Jiang Xiao said, "Let's go back. I'll go pick them up, and then I can absorb the star beads and advance in quality."
"Let's go, let's go!" Xia Yan said impatiently...
The trio handed over the large number of star beads they had obtained to Jiang Shou in the Shadow of Calamity World for safekeeping. At this time, Jiang Shou had already packed up his valuables.
Even a few days ago, he had already notified the Hai family of the Flower Sea Pasture, preparing them to face the storm... uh... to face a new world.
The outside world was chaotic, and there had been no sign of improvement for several months, with the trend even worsening. The Hai Tianqing couple, seeking a stable environment for their child to grow up in, had no intention of moving out.
Hearing that Jiang Xiao's star technique quality was about to be upgraded again, the couple was a little dazed, but they packed their things while still feeling bewildered...
Jiang Xiao, with the Hidden Dragon Cannon on his shoulder, walked out of the Void Dimension with his two teammates, greeted the guarding soldiers, and then teleported back to the Weiyu Brigade headquarters in Yizhou City, Dajiang Province.
"Yaha!?" Jiang Xiao, soaking wet, stood in Er Wei's office, only to find it empty!?
Jiang Xiao rubbed his eyes, realizing that Da Mao (Big Cat) was really gone?
What was going on? Did he teleport to the wrong place? But this large desk definitely belonged to Er Wei. Who else in the headquarters would dare to use such a large one?
Jiang Xiao walked backwards out of the room, looking at the doorplate.
Just as Jiang Xiao was scratching his head, someone walked out of the office next door.
Clearly, the person had heard the sound in the corridor and came out to investigate.
The two pairs of eyes met, and both were stunned.
Jiang Xiao said curiously, "Tiangou?"
"Xiao Pi is back." Tiangou smiled and nodded in greeting.
With their friendship, they weren't so formal in private.
Jiang Xiao glanced at the direction Tiangou had come from and asked suspiciously, "What were you doing in my room?"
"Ah, Brigade Commander Luan let Regiment Commander Li use your office, and I'm working here too," Tiangou said with a smile.
Jiang Xiao: ???
Jiang Xiao shook his wet hands and said, "Regiment Commander Li? Xiao Li - Li Yixu?"
Tiangou looked at Jiang Xiao's expression and explained, "Yes. Four days ago, after we withdrew from the battlefield, Brigade Commander Luan called Regiment Commander Li and me here, asking us to handle all her work and report four times a day."
Damn it?
Da Mao really took the advice?
Jiang Xiao said, "Where is she?"
Tiangou replied, "She's training in her own space. The gate to the Shadow of Calamity Ruins is opened in her own office. I heard a sound and thought she had come out early to give instructions..."
As he spoke, Tiangou's voice became softer and softer, and his eyes looked behind Jiang Xiao.
Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan also came out.
It wasn't that Tiangou didn't recognize them, but because...
Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were also soaking wet!
Tiangou's expression was strange. What were these three doing just now?
"When does Er Wei come out?" Jiang Xiao asked.
Tiangou said, "6:30 am, 11:30 am, 6:30 pm, 11:30 pm."
Jiang Xiao grinned and snorted, "Is this reporting four times a day? This is according to the time for four meals a day, right? Including midnight snacks."
Tiangou pursed his lips and didn't dare to respond. He could joke and banter with Jiang Xiao, but there were some people and some topics that he didn't dare to touch.
"Look at how cowardly you are~" Jiang Xiao glanced at Tiangou with a disgusted expression, and said, "Alright, go back to work."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao pushed Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan into Er Wei's office, even into the better-hidden resting room.
Jiang Xiao closed the door behind him, opened the door to the Shadow of Calamity World, and looked up at the watch: "You two go home and clean up, pack your things too. I'll go to the North Atlantic to pick people up. It's 11:20 now. We'll report to Er Wei when she comes out."
The two nodded, and Han Jiangxue took off her black cloak and handed it to Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao patted Yinlong's head, gesturing towards the door of the Shadow of Calamity World: "Go play with your two big sisters. I have to go to the bottom of the sea, you can't go there, and I can't put you into my star map."
"Wu~" Yinlong rubbed his dragon head against Jiang Xiao's face, poked his head around, and actually started to burrow into Jiang Xiao's chest.
Jiang Xiao: ???
He had seen this scene before! When the Sea Eater Garment was throwing a tantrum, it also burrowed into Jiang Xiao's chest, wanting to enter Jiang Xiao's star map!
Jiang Xiao was shocked and hurriedly pushed away the dragon head in front of his chest, repeatedly saying, "Oh my little ancestor, you are Er Wei's star pet, not mine, don't mess around! Jiang Dad promises to take you to play in the future, but don't show this idea in front of Er Wei, I still want to live a few more years!"
While playing, how did he end up abducting the little Yinlong...
Yinlong blinked his transparent eyes aggrievedly, but Jiang Xiao transformed into a heartless stepfather, wrapping Yinlong around Han Jiangxue's neck like a scarf, and pushing the two people and one dragon into the gate of the Shadow of Calamity World.
Closing the door, Jiang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, put on his Sea Eater Garment again, and patted the hood, saying, "Going to the bottom of the sea, be careful."
In front of Jiang Xiao, the Sea Eater Garment's two collar little hands waved gently.
Swish...
Jiang Xiao teleported, directly floating in front of the Sea Eater Domain space entrance at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, and plunged in.
Right in front of him, the Buzzing Whale, with white flames burning in its eyes, was staring at the space gate with its "searchlight" eyes, like a pitiful, adorable kindergartener waiting for its parents to pick it up...
Next to the Buzzing Whale's eyes, Yi Qingchen, wearing the Soul of the Sea Eater, seemed to be comforting the Buzzing Whale.
The hand she placed on the Buzzing Whale's smooth skin stiffened slightly, and the Buzzing Whale suddenly let out a whale song: "Buzz..."
Yi Qingchen turned around and saw Jiang Xiao floating at the door, and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
Jiang Xiao smiled and nodded, floated over, patted Yi Qingchen's head with his left hand, and patted the Buzzing Whale's skin with his right hand.
Where's Gu Shi'an?
Jiang Xiao looked around, but Yi Qingchen pointed to the top of the Buzzing Whale's head.
How could Jiang Xiao see the top of the Buzzing Whale's head?
He gently pressed one hand on the Buzzing Whale's huge eyes, and the next moment, the white flame lines in the Buzzing Whale's eyes spiraled and spread along Jiang Xiao's palms and arms, eventually wrapping around the Sea Eater Garment.
Then, the Buzzing Whale shattered, turning into an endless, rich star power, merging into Jiang Xiao's body.
In this area of visible blue star power, Gu Shi'an, wearing a cloak, floated down slowly, lying horizontally...
Gu Shi'an weakly turned his head, glanced at Jiang Xiao, and spat out a string of bubbles.
Jiang Xiao almost laughed in anger. Look at this pathetic appearance, playing dead?
Jiang Xiao suddenly waved his hand, and the gate to the Shadow of Calamity World opened beside Gu Shi'an!
Whoosh~
The hopeless Gu Shi'an was directly sucked into the space gate, and then "pfft"ed out by a water cannon!
Yi Qingchen's face panicked, holding two Souls of the Sea Eater in her hands, and her body floated backwards involuntarily.
Swish!
Jiang Xiao closed the space gate and waved to Yi Qingchen.
Yi Qingchen's face changed for a while. After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and floated towards Jiang Xiao with a resigned look.
What are you doing?
Want a kiss?
Jiang Xiao was a little confused. He carefully reached out and gently put his hand on Yi Qingchen's shoulder, and the two figures immediately teleported away...
"Eh?" Yi Qingchen's legs went weak, but she was quickly supported by the Soul of the Sea Eater, floating a few centimeters off the ground.
Due to being underwater for a long time and with the help of the Soul of the Sea Eater, Yi Qingchen had been in a "weightless" state. Suddenly landing on her feet, she was naturally not very comfortable.
She looked at Jiang Xiao's puzzled face, and then, a flush appeared on her little bun face.
Yi Qingchen thought that Jiang Xiao was also going to open a space gate next to her and suck her in.
"Where... is this?" Yi Qingchen asked softly.
"Er Wei's office rest room, it's very safe, don't worry." Jiang Xiao opened the space gate, but saw a resentful Gu Shi'an.
Gu Shi'an flew out: "Are you even human?"
The feeling of being "sucked" in and then "pfft"ed out was indeed not pleasant.
"Hehe." Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "I saw you looking listless, so I wanted to cheer you up."
"Don't cheer me up." Gu Shi'an looked uncomfortable. "Do you know how long I've been hungry?"
Jiang Xiao: "Uh..."
Gu Shi'an: "How long was I at the bottom of the sea, that's how long I've been hungry! The Buzzing Whale still has clothes to eat, Yi Qingchen and I relied entirely on her blessings to hold on. You didn't even think about sending us some food, I was starving."
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao scratched his head. The blessing star technique was to restore people's vitality, so Gu Shi'an wouldn't starve to death, and his physical condition might even be good.
But the feeling of hunger and thirst was real, and the blessing wouldn't bring him any sense of fullness...
Jiang Xiao was a little embarrassed and said, "In a while, we'll have a feast. By the way, I want to discuss something with you first."
Gu Shi'an: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xiao said, "My Shadow of Calamity World is going to upgrade its quality, and the terrain is very likely to be reset, so everything in your Shadow of Calamity World has to be moved, otherwise it may be covered by the new terrain."
Gu Shi'an was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Jiang Xiao was saying.
Jiang Xiao hurriedly said, "This should be the highest quality, and after the terrain is reset, it won't change anymore. We'll choose a quiet place again, don't worry."
Gu Shi'an nodded, but opened his mouth and said, "Can it still improve in quality? I'm going... you already have a world, how can it improve?"
Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, "How would I know? Let's see.
Go pack up your valuables and things in your room, put them in your own Shadow of Calamity Ruins, and then come out, I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Xiao turned to look at Yi Qingchen and said, "You just moved in, so you don't have much stuff, right?"
Yi Qingchen hurriedly shook her head: "No."
Jiang Xiao: "Then you sit and wait for a while..."
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao and Yi Qingchen both took a step back. On the side of the single bed in the rest room, a space gate opened, and a long leg stepped out.
Er Wei, who came out, was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at Jiang Xiao, and then at Yi Qingchen wearing a cloak, and said, "Completed the mission?"
"Yes." Yi Qingchen hurriedly stood at attention and replied.
"Mm." Er Wei closed the space gate, looked down at the two, and said, "What are you two doing in my room?"
Jiang Xiao smiled apologetically, stepped forward quickly, and said, "Aren't we welcoming our Brigade Commander Luan back from training? Knowing you're tired, we two medical assistants, with our full of blessings, are ready to welcome you and wash away the dust, Brigade Commander Luan, you've worked hard!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao turned to signal to Yi Qingchen and said, "Qingchen, what are you waiting for, give the blessing!"
Er Wei's eyes narrowed, she grabbed Jiang Xiao's collar with one hand, and directly lifted him up, covering her head.
At the door, Yi Qingchen didn't even raise her hand to bless. She twisted her fingers nervously, not knowing what to do.
Er Wei's movements clearly stalled for a moment, and she casually threw Jiang Xiao onto the bed next to her.
She also realized that there was only one person who dared to be so cheeky, Yi Qingchen wouldn't dare to really throw a blessing...
Jiang Xiao grinned and the bed almost collapsed: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Er Wei coldly glanced at Jiang Xiao, her pair of narrow eyes unusually sharp: "Stand in the corner, at attention. If there's anything, wait until I get back."
As she spoke, Er Wei teleported away. Presumably, she was going to listen to Tiangou's report.
Jiang Xiao scratched his head, sat up from the bed, but saw the good baby Yi Qingchen already standing at attention in the corner.
"Uh..." Jiang Xiao pointed to his space gate and said, "Qingchen, you don't have to stand at attention, it's not your business, go help Xia Yan move."
"Oh." Yi Qingchen, carrying two Souls of the Sea Eater, hurriedly walked towards the door of the Shadow of Calamity World.
Looking at that heartless back, Jiang Xiao gently sighed: "In the end, I still bear everything alone..."
Yi Qingchen's footsteps froze: ???
