Chapter 323: Crossing Over
“Everyone, I believe you all understand the purpose of this trip. I need you to accompany me to rescue some students from the United States. If the mission is completed normally without any delays, I will provide additional rewards.”
Before the numerous figures, Su Jiu’s expression was solemn. External Qi surged from her body, causing slight creases in her robes. After sweeping them with her gaze, she spoke loudly.
“Miss Su Jiu, please rest assured. It’s just the Wyvern Valley. With our current lineup, not only can we rescue people, but it’s also possible to kill the Wyvern King.”
In response to Su Jiu’s words, the three old men from the Hu family nodded and smiled. Although Su Jiu appeared very young, their young master had told them that the young lady before them could kill an Intermediate Battle King level Priest. To achieve such strength at this age was truly admirable.
Others were either resting with their eyes closed like Mo Ling, or like the four Battle King level adventurers, they didn’t dare to breathe heavily. They occasionally glanced at Iron Bull, who was as still as an old monk in meditation, for fear of accidentally offending him.
“Hehe, Miss Su Jiu naturally doesn’t need to worry about people taking money and not doing their job…”
Wenders slowly floated before everyone, and an unfathomable aura erupted from him. The pressure was so intense that the others struggled to breathe. At this moment, even Iron Bull’s eyes snapped open, and he looked at the person before him with surprise.
“Demigod?!”
After glancing at Wenders, Mo Ling’s gaze fell on Su Jiu with surprise. She had originally thought that she and the Priest were the Priest’s greatest reliance. She hadn’t expected her to be able to invite a Demigod, and seeing that he was willing to help Su Jiu maintain control, it seemed he had a good relationship with the Priest.
“Uncle Wenders, we are counting on you for this trip.” Su Jiu naturally understood Wenders’ intention and immediately cupped her fists and said with a smile.
If they encountered irreversible danger, the first to act would undoubtedly be this Paladin, as his strength was not inferior to Night Watchers of the same rank.
“Everyone, let’s set off.”
As the words fell, Su Jiu gently tapped her earring, took a breath, and lightly waved her sleeve.
E Huo understood and transformed into a silver dragon, soaring into the sky. Su Jiu casually grabbed E Huo’s scales and sat steadily on its back.
Standing up gently, the whistling wind blew Su Jiu’s clothes. She looked down at the city receding into the distance, then slowly looked up, her gaze seeming to pierce through the void, murmuring:
“Vivian, wait for me… Your knight is coming soon.”
…
In the United States, in a highly guarded reception hall within the vast manor of the Henry family, several figures were laughing heartily while watching a certain image.
The image continuously flashed with light, like some kind of breath. Upon closer inspection, the image didn’t seem to be a movie, but rather several flying dragons with flesh wings spewing breath at a protective shield.
“Young Master, do we really not need rescue? The news has already leaked, and the school board members of Cambridge are also quite vocal. Master also doesn’t want you to ruin our family’s reputation for a woman.”
Below the hall, an old man in a black tuxedo frowned slightly as he looked at the golden-haired, hook-nosed middle-aged man in the center. He slightly interrupted their laughter and reminded them.
“Hehe, Vivian that bitch always looked down on us brothers. Now she’s asking Brother Wenders for help, isn’t that a joke?” On the other side of the hall, a slightly overweight young white man with red hair, with one hand on a lady, said with a smile.
“Hehe, didn’t I give her a chance? Give me her initial embrace, and I’ll save her…” The leader, a clearly handsome Westerner with blond hair, had a strangely pale complexion. Although his face was incredibly handsome, his constantly narrowed eyes added a touch of陰翳 (yīnyì – gloominess/gloom).
“Brother Wenders, do you mean… the rumors in the school are true? Is she really a high-level Blood Clan member?” The slightly overweight young man suddenly looked up, ignoring the lady beside him, and said to Wenders with some surprise.
“She is not just an ordinary Blood Clan member, but a Duke of the Blood Clan…” Wenders looked at the slightly overweight young man and said with narrowed eyes. Then, as the latter’s expression was filled with immense surprise, he continued, “If Teacher Vivian is willing to share half of her initial embrace of life with me, let alone winning first place in this world competition, I might be able to advance to War God level within ten years.”
“Brother, don’t you fancy her looks?” After the shock, the slightly overweight young man looked at Wenders with some confusion.
“Hehe, Teacher Vivian’s beauty is indeed quite captivating. It’s just that her personality is too cold and stubborn. Let’s wait another half a day and see how she responds.” Wenders said with a chuckle, then his gaze fell back on the large screen, a mysterious confident smile on his face.
“Those students might be the final blow to her stubbornness.”
The central area of the Wyvern Valley.
A rather precipitous mountain peak rose from the ground. In the center of the peak, there was a rift that looked as if it had been chiseled by God himself. The rift was extremely large, capable of accommodating several Wyverns flying through simultaneously.
And in the middle of the rift, a huge shield emitted faint light, particularly conspicuous in the night. Many Wyverns were circling around, investigating the situation. They had tried to destroy the shield with their breath, but it seemed to be in vain.
Beneath the shield, about one to two dozen people were trapped, most of them around twenty years old. They were all wearing the same black academic robes and had expressions of exhaustion.
The most conspicuous among them was a slender figure leaning against a sword. A tear mole adorned her eye, as if adding a touch of melancholy, but her blood-colored eyes always held a certain inexplicable majesty.
The slender figure in black was none other than the Silly Duke Vivian, whom Su Jiu couldn’t stop thinking about!
Her gaze swept across the dejected students beside her, and finally landed on another female teacher. The latter was looking at the Wyverns in the sky with a panicked expression, and from time to time, she would cast a resentful glance at herself.
“Everyone, does anyone among you have connections who can help? As long as we can invite three Intermediate Battle King level experts to assist us, we can escape.” Vivian’s gaze slowly swept across the people around her, and seeing their disheartened appearances, she said with some helplessness.
Even though she knew the chances were slim, she couldn’t help but try to ask. Over the past few days, her clones had found everyone they could, but they were all uniformly rejected with the reason: lack of manpower.
In the end, she could only place her hope on these students again, hoping they could provide some useful assistance.
Upon hearing her words, everyone exchanged glances and remained silent. Seeing this, another female teacher suddenly raised her head, staring intently at Vivian’s face, and said sternly, “Why don’t you agree to the Henry family’s request? As long as you record a video admitting you are Wenders’ lover, they will send people to rescue us immediately. Why won’t you do it?”
“Record a video, and they’ll come to save us? Are you still living in a dream? Or is your head filled with water and nothing else?”
Vivian, who was originally an “electronic Zu’an person” (a derogatory term for someone who is aggressive and insulting online), immediately retorted when she heard this. This damned woman had been urging her to sacrifice herself from the beginning. She paused and continued with a cold smile, unleashing her attack, “This shield is also mine. Without me, you would have died long ago. Where would you have the chance to babble next to me?”
“Teacher Vivian, I think… Teacher Shelly might be right. If you don’t agree to that request, we might be trapped here forever. We still have several underage students among us, and they shouldn’t die like this!”
Beside the female teacher who had spoken earlier, a girl with double ponytails looked at Vivian with some fear, lowered her head and said.
Hearing the girl with double ponytails’ words, Vivian was stunned for a moment. She then looked around again and saw many gazes hoping for her to sacrifice herself. Suddenly, she felt a sense of irony.
She saved them, yet they hoped she would die. But she was a Blood Clan member… If she were forced to the utmost, they might die by her hand first.
“Everyone, now is not the time for conflict. We are all alive thanks to Teacher Vivian’s alchemical shield.” As if unable to stand the atmosphere, a rather short girl stood straight out, interrupting Vivian’s contemplation.
