Chapter 1150: Chapter 194: Dragon Calamity
Thinking about that maid handbook as thick as a Chinese-English dictionary, Nero wondered if she needed to go to the hospital for heart bypass surgery, hanging her head despondently like a defeated dog.
“As for the pen and paper, they’ll be prepared for you later, Ms. Nero.”
Nero’s eye twitched slightly… Seems like copying the divine artifact is out of the question too—Is this Grand Steward a demon?
Ignoring Nero’s negative emotions, the maid turned around and slowly threw the colorful light orb she was holding.
The pool beneath the waterfall was affected by this colorful light orb, and the water sources automatically surged to the sides, revealing the bottom of the pool.
Nero, already knowing her struggle was futile, instantly pulled herself together with the spirit of “a dead pig fears no scalding water,” and asked, “What exactly is this?”
“Do you know about Tai Yinzi?” the maid said calmly.
Nero nodded, recalling Tai Yinzi as that old dog with negative morals… Having been a black soul envoy for several days now, she had already greeted the other two black souls in the club.
“This was a project Tai Yinzi worked on before,” the maid said casually, “The project is quite profitable. But when it was made, no one expected it would need expansion so quickly. The master’s intention is to take this opportunity to expand its interior properly, revamping it with spiritual energy to enhance its activity and capacity.”
“Oh… sounds quite impressive,” Nero nodded, pletely unable to understand.
“The expansion plan has been in place for a long time.” The maid looked at the twelve ancestral veins moving on the map of rivers and mountains above the pool, “The master said it’s just as well we don’t waste this opportunity.”
Nero was taken aback, “Hmm… won’t that reduce the original concentration of spiritual energy?”
The maid turned around with a slight smile, “Has anyone requested these spiritual energies from the master? Since the items are not requested by the guests, we naturally have the right to use them.”
“No wonder…” Nero suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.
The club opened amidst the ruins with nobody around… And the boss, after ing out of the Penglai Treasury, is even more of a wanderer, undoubtedly on purpose?
But one thing Nero couldn’t understand was why the boss, seemingly omnipotent, had to go to such lengths and take such a roundabout way?
Or perhaps the boss had some pelling reason or difficulty of his own?
Nero did not continue to ask… her instincts warned her that digging further might lead to a punishment far worse than copying the maid handbook two hundred seventy thousand times?
“Speaking of which, Grand Steward, I seem to have encountered a rather formidable opponent for you~” Nero glanced subtly, squinting her eyes, “Quite capable of pleasing the boss~ How about reducing the copy count by two hundred sixty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine times?”
The maid said indifferently, “Luo Pianqian has no such cunning. If you’re free, you might as well start copying now.”
As she spoke, a desk and chair from a primary school appeared before Nero, with a stack of A4 paper, ink, and a quill pen placed on the desk.
A quill pen!!
Is this even a thing?
Thus, the club’s newest employee began a fresh round of eye twitching…
…
…
A sandglass floated beside Luo Qiu, resembling golden sand slowly drifting down… this was the first item Luo Qiu touched upon being the boss.
The only thing that could strip him of his undying body, causing him to vanish pletely… the boss’s life hourglass.
Currently, the hourglass held much less than when he first became the boss of the club. Calculating from this moment, the amount now would only last for about another week or so—basically, the hourglass only appears when the boss’s life span reaches its limit—to remind the boss it’s time to do business.
Since Luo Qiu had taken over the club, he had never encountered such a situation due to adopting a quality approach and, later, the continuous benefits of the Main God Project.
There was also a large transaction with Su Zijun, and during his time in South America, he acquired some power from a Dimensional Observer—despite quite a few souls still unreclaimed from the outside world, overall, Luo Qiu’s life span continued to increase.
However, the rich lifespan ine was nearly all deducted by the time he left the Penglai Treasury.
He had repelled the altar… the true source of the club’s power. Although the altar later promised, it wasn’t entirely without actions… the deducted lifespan was approximately the altar’s warning.
But to Luo Qiu, it seemed more like throwing a fit… If it were genuinely angry, stripping him of the boss title would suffice, after all, according to Cicero, the solid origins flow with legitimate agents.
——You’re here to do business, alright! If you don’t go, you’ll die!! Did you hear that!! Hmph!
“Is that the feeling?”
Luo Qiu chuckled wryly… such punishment didn’t affect him in the slightest.
After leaving the Penglai Treasury, he regained a large payment from Su Zijun, and those evil souls hadn’t been retrieved for sacrifices… such a large batch of evil souls could just about restore the life that was deducted after the sacrifice.
Though not quite at the pre-vacation level, it wouldn’t be far off.
These thoughts flickered through Luo Qiu almost instantaneously as he observed the steadily flowing life sand, his heart tranquil.
“Even in the face of life’s danger, there’s no fear or concern…” Luo Qiu muttered to himself, “How much longer can I hold on?”
Since his vacation in South America, his emotions showed signs of resurgence; as the vacation prolonged, they became clearer.
However, after his vacation ended, the restored sensations instantly faded… now the calmness exceeded even before.
“Relying on vacations for recovery, but experiencing a rebound once they end, with the rebound exceeding pre-vacation levels… To suppress it, one needed to continue vacationing, yet the cost of taking time off is too steep, requiring more transactions, which in turn accelerates the deprivation, creating a vicious cycle…”
Luo Qiu pondered, “So, currently, the best method is to maintain a quality route; ensuring the recovery and transaction of sacrifices. Ideally, a relatively long cycle might achieve a relative balance, allowing more time. Simultaneously, maintaining a minimal level of current interests is crucial… For if even this remaining interest bees insipid, then it would be the moment I truly bee the boss.”
Different sets of images floated around Luo Qiu.
The tense moments at Wolong Mountain Villa… Around the Mount Tai Summit, dispelled by the Spiritual Energy Storm were the scattered people.
Mo Xiaofei and Zhuifeng headed towards the Mount Tai Summit… the woman in the yellow robe and Gong Fanxing walking in the fog, and Qin Chuyu chasing after them.
The people still striving to exit the foggy region.
Even You Ye and Nero, preparing to expand the Main God World at the third point… and the depths beneath the Mount Tai Summit.
“This is just another way to quench thirst with poison.”
The hourglass of life gradually faded from Luo Qiu’s side, and at this moment Boss Luo extended his hand, his fingers moving, and finally stopping before one of the numerous images…
…
…
Light, golden light, if it could reach the depths beneath the opened Mount Tai Summit, would reveal that golden radiance.
The source of the radiance was a crystal emitting golden light… and these crystals were indeed formed from the True Dragon’s power of the Godly Land.
In this giant fissure, the crystals of True Dragon’s power filled everywhere — it was these crystals that temporarily blocked the gap opened by the Earth Spirit Sword.
At this moment, in the source of the Spiritual Energy eruption, three figures formed a triangle, none of them moving first… Long Xiruo, Su Zijun, and Gongsun Shiyu, or rather, Dragon Fiend.
“No wonder it’s a True Dragon, to forcibly plug this gap…” Gongsun Shiyu sneered, “But I wonder how long you can hold out?”
“You can try, use your arrogance to test my time.” Long Xiruo snorted as well, “And you, little brat, you actually dared to strike!”
Su Zijun remained silent, holding the longsword ablaze with golden flames, his pupils alternating between gold and red.
“I never thought the one to help me in the end would be the princess of the Xuanyuan Royal Family…” Gongsun Shiyu laughed heartily, “Seems your relationship isn’t unbreakable after all!”
“Hmph! At least Gongsun Shiyu looks human, but you don’t even have a dog’s face! How dare you speak in front of me? Get lost!”
Unexpectedly, the silent Su Zijun raised his hand and swept away with the longsword in hand amidst Gongsun Shiyu’s wild laughter — the power released by the Light Saber immediately slammed Gongsun Shiyu into the rock wall.
Yet, the power of the Light Saber merely struck him, not penetrating his body… The power was entirely blocked by Gongsun Shiyu’s intertwined arms.
Gongsun Shiyu… Dragon Fiend twisted his neck, sneering: “The princess of the Xuanyuan Royal Family is no different… You can wield the Xuanyuan Sword of the Killing God with that Hanba as your body?”
Su Zijun said indifferently, “Enough to slaughter you.”
“Hahahaha!!!” Dragon Fiend laughed loudly, “Xuanyuan Zijun, don’t think I don’t know your plan! Perhaps I was unaware before, but when you stopped the True Dragon at the last moment, I knew your intention… To use this Spiritual Energy awakening for the Heavenly Dao to judge Dao Monsters guilty, so your God-Slaying Sword could be born? You are a pitiful puppet of humanitarianism!”
“Whether pitiful or not, let’s talk after I slaughter you.” Su Zijun coldly snorted.
“No no no, you cannot kill me.” Dragon Fiend shook his head, “In this world, no one can kill me! Not you, nor the True Dragon of China.”
“Tsk, your brain must have been pinched by a door, just an Evil Dragon.” Su Zijun slowly raised the golden flame sword in his hand.
Instantly, a terrifying oppression descended… As the embodiment of the Xuanyuan God-Slaying Sword, the supreme power of the true Xuanyuan God-Slaying Sword emanated from Su Zijun.
However, the body of Gongsun Shiyu, seized by Dragon Fiend, also contained part of the Huang Di bloodline, naturally possessing immense resistance against the power of the Xuanyuan God-Slaying Sword.
“No no no, indeed, you can’t kill me, just as you can’t kill the True Dragon.” Dragon Fiend sneered, “Unless you can erase the entire Godly Land… Otherwise, as long as I stand on this earth, I remain undying!”
Su Zijun furrowed his brows, instinctively glancing at Long Xiruo — who, suppressing the Spiritual Energy breach, remained silent.
“Seems the True Dragon never told anyone…” Dragon Fiend sneered, “The world thinks I am just an Evil Dragon’s emergence, but who knows, this is merely your lie… Am I right, Master Long?”
“Is what he said true?” Su Zijun asked in a deep voice.
Long Xiruo sighed, “This guy is indeed not an Evil Dragon… Its essence is a breath of resentment, the earth’s resentment of the Godly Land. This breath of resentment was born with the earth, nurtured over countless years by the devastation brought upon the Godly Land by humanitarian monsters. Where there’s light, there must be shadow, where there is me, there naturally is it. Indeed, it cannot be slain, even if dispersed, over the years, it will be reborn from the earth… Over the years, I’ve encountered four such Dragon Fiends.”
“Master Long, you still haven’t finished, have you?” Dragon Fiend sneered, “Cherishing this Xuanyuan princess so much, huh?”
“Dragon Fiend, don’t push your luck.” Long Xiruo said in a deep voice.
“Push my luck?” Dragon Fiend laughed aloud, “Since ancient times, has the True Dragon of Godly Land not been pushing us?”
“Us?” Su Zijun furrowed his brows, capturing something keenly.
Dragon Fiend snorted coldly, “Indeed, Dragon Fiend is a breath of earthly resentment condensed. But without a carrier, do you think this resentment could break through the seals of the earth veins and possess consciousness? The Godly Land inherently has a self-cleansing power…”
“Enough!” Long Xiruo gritted his teeth, glaring.
Dragon Fiend ignored it, “We… are precisely the countless souls that perished on the path to being True Dragons over the millennia! The True Dragon’s power never dies, as long as it stands on the earth, the True Dragon is invincible… But the carrier of the True Dragon’s power will always die! Each generation sees numerous qualified inheritors chosen as new and old True Dragons alternate… We are the wrongful spirits trampled underfoot by the high and mighty Master Long, inheritors of True Dragon power on the Sea of Blood!”
Dragon Fiend’s hands suddenly spread open, and at the same time, two jet-black wings burst from its back… its hands turned into the Shadow Dragon.
Upon closer examination, in these black wings, on this Shadow Dragon, there were twisted and ferocious faces harboring resentment and hatred.
Countless voices mingled together.
“Each of us once had the world in mind!”
“Each of us once aspired to uphold justice!”
“Each of us dreamed from childhood of being the guardians of the Godly Land!”
“Why… why were we abandoned in the end!”
“Spiritual Energy Awakening? Damn it! What does the prosperity of these Dao Monsters have to do with us… Our goal is to pollute the Twelve Ancestral Veins of Godly Land!!”
With Dragon Fiend’s roar, not only its hands but the black wings behind it, and even its mouth, spat out endless shadows… The darkness, at that moment, even directly overshadowed the radiance of the True Dragon power crystal.
