Chapter 593 Returning Home (3k)
The sky of the gray dawn flickered with sparse morning stars. With a little light, almost everyone noticed the Singer’s movement, but their speed was too fast, too high.
It was like the height of a demon returning to hell, unreachable by mortals.
They could not reach the position in mid-air, only gaze into the distance, praying that Evelyn could arrive with absolute speed. But the latter was only panting, looking up at the sky.
The energy burst out by the Singer at all costs was too strong, even subtly approaching the level of a high-level War God. Her energy was almost exhausted, and she had no way to chase further, so she could only look up silently.
Nami, after completely destroying the device, holding a rapier, watched the scene in the sky. At that position, she could not react with her speed and could only wait for the subsequent outcome.
She had done everything she could.
Further away, Mr. Ziwei Li and the other two leaned on a dilapidated rooftop, holding a bottle of blue recovery potion and taking small sips. He looked at the distant sky, silent.
“She will succeed, she is the person Da Bai values.”
Suddenly, there was a warmth on the back of his hand. He followed the sound and looked. Lin Mei covered his hand with her palm, also stretching her neck to look at the distant sky, and then changed the subject, suddenly smiling:
“After this, you’ll have gone through a true test after returning home. What are your plans?”
“Plans?”
Hearing this, Mr. Ziwei Li was slightly stunned, then seemed to think of something. He suddenly covered Lin Mei’s hand on the back of his hand again and said with a smile,
“I’ll rest in the south for a while. I’m getting snow blindness from looking at the snow every day… By then, how can Little White’s wedding be without a best man and maid of honor?”
“Coincidentally, I also need to experience the mortal world. Let’s go together.”
Lin Mei noticed the small movements of the other party, but did not stop them, just gently closed her eyes and said with a smile.
In different cities, Bai Ming also put away his weapon and looked at the corpses of the Ancient God Sect lying on the street. He snapped his fingers and burned them to ashes, his gaze cast into the sky.
Above the cities further away, black figures flickered past like a flock of cold crows. However, the slight light had revealed their true faces – the Night Watchers.
“Yuan, if she summons a King-level Other with her blood sacrifice, it would be bad. That thing is equivalent to a Walker-level, even a phantom has the strength of a high-level War God.”
Ren looked at the distant sky, his face extremely solemn. He slightly turned his face to speak to Yuan, who was silently following behind him. His speed did not decrease but increased instead.
Hearing this, Yuan just nodded. She seemed to be considering other issues:
“Mr. Huainan, have you ever thought that after this Elder Jiu completes this mission, he will be qualified for the Elder assessment? The conditions for qualifying for the Elder assessment are completing an SSS-level mission and then possessing War God-level strength.”
“Elder…”
Ren paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, saying very seriously, “This needs to be personally recognized by the headquarters holding a meeting. Moreover, Old Man is still alive. With his personality, he will not wish for Su Jiu to be an Elder.”
“Mr. Li Er only wants his descendants to be safe. He also doesn’t allow you to participate in many Night Watcher operations…”
Pouting, Yuan did not refute his words, sighed, and followed closely behind Ren, also speeding up considerably.
“Old Man has not married in this life. Everyone in the bar is like his children, regardless of their status.”
Ren replied softly, suddenly seeming to notice something. He stopped abruptly, his gaze fixed on a light as bright as a small sun. His eyes showed a bit of shock: “This is… Little Junior Sister.”
“What…”
Just as Yuan looked at him in confusion, she heard a “bang” of a drum, followed by a “whoosh!” sound of breaking wind that quickly squeezed into her ears. The moment she turned her head, a brilliant light was reflected in her slightly purplish pupils.
Those pupils slowly widened until, the next second, that light, almost simultaneously with the Singer, disappeared into the black hole. Then she patted her head and came to her senses. She turned to Ren with a trembling face and asked,
“What exactly is that? I actually felt the sensation of death from it…”
“I don’t know, but the person who fired it is the one we are talking about.”
Ren shook his head and stopped flying. Instead, he stared intently at the black hole above, as if expecting something.
Yuan was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, “Is it something Su Jiu made?”
Nodding slightly, Ren remained silent, still staring intently at the black hole. He had a feeling that this thing could completely swallow and cover the black hole.
As if to prove it to him, within a few seconds, brilliant white light exploded from within the black hole, and then half the sky lit up. Huge air currents impacted every part of the seventh city.
The light lasted for about a few minutes before it faintly dissipated. When Ren looked up at the sky again, the black hole had disappeared, as if it had completely vanished.
“It’s over.”
At this moment, the first ray of sunlight from the east pierced the eyes of everyone in the high altitude. Everyone’s faces showed excitement after surviving a disaster, and smiles filled every face.
“We’ll be home tomorrow.”
Seeing the black hole completely disappear, Su Jiu slowly put away her long bow, took a deep breath, and showed a relieved smile.
She had made various preparations for this day and finally completed it entirely. Next, she would go home to see her child and participate in the public sea trading market on behalf of E Huo to buy what she wanted.
After more than half an hour, a new Bear Country inspector arrived. After understanding the situation, he asked the local authorities to register the participants so that rewards could be issued.
Su Jiu disliked these lively scenes, so she found an inn and bought a train ticket to go home the next day.
Since all the Ancient God Sect devices were destroyed, she could use her mobile phone for communication. Taking out her phone, she found more than a dozen missed calls, all from Bai Zhi. She smiled sheepishly and scratched her head: “This girl probably gave birth. She wants me to go see the child.”
Thinking this, Su Jiu dialed back for a video call. The call was answered almost instantly. The first sentence was not the questioning Su Jiu expected, but a tone of concern:
“Are you alright?”
Bai Zhi was wearing a white patient’s gown, and the place seemed to be a hospital. Sunlight shone on her face. Perhaps because her foundation was good, her slightly pale face showed a touch of gentle illusion.
“I’m fine, I’ll be home tomorrow.”
Su Jiu smiled foolishly. She didn’t know how to face the person who gave birth to her child first. She knew that giving birth must be very painful.
“Because she was wrapped in leaves from birth, Uncle named her Su Xiao Ye. I think it’s good too, so we registered her.”
Seeing that Su Jiu was indeed fine, Bai Zhi exhaled slightly. Then, she smiled and turned the camera to the infant basket beside her.
Inside lay a baby girl, smaller than an ordinary child. Her chubby hands reached out towards the phone. There was a slight smile on her eyebrows, and her light green pupils seemed to hide small flowers.
“Su… Xiao Ye?”
Staring blankly at the baby girl, Su Jiu felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. She even dared not believe that what she saw was real. It took a long time for her to realize that she had a true bond in this world.
“Don’t be like this, she’s still young.”
After teasing her daughter a little, under Bai Zhi’s glaring eyes, Su Jiu reluctantly withdrew her gaze and said softly, “When I get back, I’ll hold a grand wedding for you…”
“Don’t be grand or anything. You and I both dislike noisy things. Besides, I only have Spider Woman as a friend. We’ll talk about weddings later…”
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Zhi made a pause gesture. Her eyes showed seriousness, and she said softly, “Isn’t the most important thing now to cure E Huo?”
“Okay, regarding the public sea market, is there anything you want?”
Nodding, Su Jiu knew what the other party meant, which was for her not to care so much about titles. However, the more she said this, the deeper her guilt became.
To be honest, she didn’t have much time to spend on Bai Zhi. Besides knowing that the other party liked red velvet cake, she knew nothing else.
“What I want?”
Hearing this, Bai Zhi fell into thought. Her gaze fell on Su Xiao Ye, she pinched the latter’s face again, and then smiled and said, “Get something to protect our daughter, wu Yin Qi Ba 0 Qi Liu Yi. As for me…”
“I want you.”
Bai Zhi paused slightly, looked at Su Jiu with deep eyes, and then suddenly smiled playfully, licking her lips. Her originally maternal aura transformed into that of a girl next door, instantly revealing her true nature.
Being stared at by Bai Zhi, Su Jiu felt a slight chill. She felt that her “want” must have other words following it.
Seeing Su Jiu’s appearance, Bai Zhi giggled. It seemed that teasing her was particularly interesting. Hearing her laughter, Su Jiu shook her head helplessly.
This girl still had a childlike nature.
Seeing Su Jiu shake her head, Bai Zhi’s lips finally settled slightly. She did not want the other party to feel any pressure, so she acted like this.
…
The next morning. Yi Er Ling (Three) Er Lin Qi Si 8 Qun
Su Jiu avoided the medal awarding ceremony and quietly left the city with the help of Bairnis’s massage, embarking on the train back home with Mr. Ziwei Li and the others.
Aman sat at the head of the train, gazing at the snow-covered lands, his eyes filled with reluctance, as if bidding farewell.
But the sadness quickly faded. He grinned, holding a blue Dragon Rhythm, and swallowed it, then sat down to cultivate.
This was what Su Jiu had promised.
The winter scenery slowly turned green. The train arrived at the capital of Dragon Country at dusk the next day. They were like secret agents, with only a few people welcoming them.
But these few people alone indicated their great status. Almost everyone was a Big Shot, including Big Shots from the Night Watcher headquarters and strong individuals from other departments.
After all, the news had already reached Dragon Country. This earth-shattering conspiracy not only angered the local Bear Country officials but also caused a huge uproar all over the world. For the first time, people truly realized the horror of the Ancient God Sect.
But they were also curious as to who had successfully destroyed this conspiracy. After all, much of it was kept secret and not announced to the public, which was also a request from Dragon Country.
One of the middle-aged men with a firm face was Mr. Ziwei Li’s father. The latter spoke no words, merely handed Mr. Ziwei Li a sword-shaped crystal medal.
Su Jiu recognized this item. This was the medal of an Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall’s main hall. She turned to look at Mr. Ziwei Li and found him tightly pursing his lips, slightly trembling, accepting it with great excitement…
“Dare to establish life for the people, this Elder attire, after the majority vote of the Elder Hall, belongs to you.”
His father took out a set of high-quality long robes from his ring and handed them over, his face showing unspeakable pride.
This was his son!
“Speak, what gift do you want? As long as it’s not too excessive, including extraordinary attributes within the third level.”
As Su Jiu was sighing, a powerful voice pulled her back. The middle-aged Night Watcher wearing a Zhongshan suit looked at them with a smile. His demeanor gave off the feeling of an Old Man. It was obvious that he was a Walker.
