Capítulo 723: Chapter 725: Counting Soldiers and Generals
Ms. Nian Shutong, for once, did not discipline the impertinent members of the Ji Family. Instead, she patiently squatted down.
“You must live well and see what I can do.”
“Some things always demand witnesses, and you are fortunate to be the first.”
“Your so-called Ji Family is fortunate enough to turn into a chicken, and I must say, your surname suits you well.”
As Ms. Nian Shutong stood up, her aura surged.
“Revenge is less sweet if not taken immediately, we’ll set off as soon as Ha Ha wakes up. It’s more satisfying to take revenge personally.”
“Jing Bai, every zodiac animal must mobilize.”
Jing Bai barked in response, but Ms. Nian Shutong cut him off.
“There’s no need, this time I want the entire interstellar to know the name of Blue Star.”
“Yes, Master, Jing Bai is ready.”
Jing Bai, the talking dog, responded.
Lin Mu and others were surprised, but not much; they already knew that these beasts were Blue Star’s trump cards.
The members of the Ji Family in the cage, however, watched Jing Bai and Ms. Nian Shutong with eyes wide open.
What kind of creature is this?
Why can it talk?
And the beasts from before, they could grow larger!
“Rubble, take the weapons you developed, don’t bother with the less effective ones.”
“Yes, Ms. Nian Shutong.”
Rubble also turned to leave, to fetch the weapons, followed by Ji Sisi.
“Lian Qing, gather the remaining seven ferocious beasts.”
“Yes.”
Lian Qing quickly departed as well.
Ms. Nian Shutong then activated her Light Computer to contact Xia Tian, who was still on the Insect Clan Battlefield.
“Hello, Sister Nian!”
“Did you advance?”
“I did! I advanced! Sister Nian, thanks to Stripe Tiger and Qicai, I have to tell you…”
“Xia Tian, I’m heading to Ji Family in Zone 2 for a fight, send Stripe Tiger and Qicai to meet us in Zone 2.”
Meanwhile, Xia Tian, who had been resting on the battlefield, abruptly stood up and started running.
“Sister Nian, wait for me; I’m rushing back now!”
Xia Tian, for the first time, didn’t ramble and quickly ended the communication.
The only reason that could compel Sister Nian to fight must be that Blue Star was being bullied—Xia Tian had to contribute his part!
After making arrangements, Ms. Nian Shutong told Lin Mu, “Watch over Ha Ha.”
“I will.”
Ms. Nian Shutong nodded and walked a distance before she started absorbing energy from a horse sculpture.
Lin Mu, watching from afar, felt as if he saw a vortex above Ms. Nian Shutong’s head.
The bottom of the vortex had a point continuously injecting into Ms. Nian Shutong’s body, being absorbed by her.
Ms. Nian Shutong aimed to unlock the power of this horse sculpture before the great battle—to fight until they were fearful, too terrified to ever return.
Ms. Nian Shutong continued to absorb at maximum capacity, and when those who had left returned, they witnessed the scene of Ms. Nian Shutong cultivating.
Empress: What exactly is this Cultivation?
Emperor: No matter what it is, it’s terrifying.
Lian Qing: Will I ever be this powerful? It seems unlikely.
Dou Dou: Auntie is amazing!
It turned out the Empress and Emperor had brought Dou Dou along too.
Nian Shutong had been absorbing power from the sculpture, which hadn’t much left to give. In a blink, the vortex disappeared, and a shrill cry pierced the heavens.
“Neigh———”
A fiery red horse stood before Nian Shutong, its hind legs planted firmly on the ground and its forelegs flamboyantly raised, neighing loudly.
But that was not the end. The fiery red horse kicked up its forelegs into the air. Instead of coming back down, they seemed to step on invisible steps, climbing higher.
After a few steps in mid-air, another loud neigh echoed as a pair of fiery red wings unfolded from its back.
The horse took flight.
This spectacle left all onlookers agape, with the sand stirred up by the red horse entering their mouths unnoticed.
“Good timing!”
Nian Shutong leapt up and landed steadily on the horse’s back.
The red horse, exhilarated, neighed vigorously and flapped its wings hard, soaring diagonally upwards. After a few circles in the sky, it finally descended.
At this moment, Lian Qing arrived with the remaining seven ferocious beasts and the Big Bird, which had followed Nian Shutong from the start, all making their way to the location.
The red horse had already retracted its wings, and Nian Shutong sat astride its back, her spine erect, her hair fluttering in the wind.
Beneath her, absorbed and refined, the Earth Heart illuminated eleven points, slowly connecting into a line.
It pinpointed the location of the zodiac, the last position racing towards a spot, pausing there, making it clear to Nian Shutong that the Dragon Sculpture was there.
However, it was not a good time now. Every clue was telling her that the Dragon Sculpture would not be easy to obtain.
In that case, she might as well fight first.
Nian Shutong felt she needed a battle herself. What kind of Cultivation involved no action?
From horseback, she asked with a commanding presence in Lian Qing’s direction, “Lian Qing, can the ferocious beasts board the Super Starship?”
“I can arrange that.”
Lian Qing, without any superfluous words, directly stated his conclusion. Normally, ferocious beasts could not because they were uncontrollable.
But Nian Shutong was clearly an exception, as all the beasts under her command were utterly subservient to her.
“Good, you arrange it.”
Nian Shutong then looked towards Rubble and inquired, “Did you bring the weapons?”
“Rubble did.”
“Good, distribute them to all the Mechanical Soldiers participating in the training. The more, the better.”
“Understood, Ms. Nian Shutong.”
“Yes, Mr. Nian!”
Ji Sisi, who had followed behind, was clad in a black Mecha, clearly more formidable than the one used during the competition.
Most importantly, behind Ji Sisi were twenty fully-armed Mechanical Soldiers, each operated by a person. These were the Mechanical Soldiers crafted by Ji Sisi and Rubble.
Leading them was the child ruler, Wang Xiaoxiao.
Among the Mechanical Soldiers behind her were children with decent talent and commendable residents, all young, forming this group of twenty.
“Ji Sisi, your task is to smash with the weapons, understand?”
“Understood!”
Nian Shutong nodded and then directed her gaze at Lin Mu, “You command the seven ferocious beasts and Big Bird. Ha Ha will join you shortly.”
“Yes!”
Lin Mu replied loudly, his robust voice awakening Ha Ha Youyou.
“Good person!”
“Ha Ha!”
Ha Ha sprung up from the ground, shook his fur, his wounds completely healed, the internal injuries also all mended.
“Ha Ha, we’re off to fight.”
“Ha Ha wants to go!”
Ha Ha didn’t fully understand, but if the good people were fighting, Ha Ha definitely had to join.
“Good, follow Lin Mu, and listen to his instructions.”
Nian Shutong lastly looked towards the position of the Empress and Emperor, uttering just one sentence: “Take good care of my Blue Star.”
