Ch 202: Leisurely Living
Zhao Mingde spent half a month in Jinghai City, but did not find any meaningful clues. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. After all, the wedding date for Zhao Xiangzi and Lin Yu had been set, and he still had to prepare for the wedding.
Since the assassination that night, Zhao Xiangzi and Lin Yu had been grounded and could only stay in the City Lord’s Mansion. The security in the mansion had also been strengthened to prevent anyone from going crazy and infiltrating to launch an attack.
Even Hua Kong and Bai Jinzhu were persuaded by Bai Jintong to stay in the City Lord’s Mansion. At this time, a large number of unfamiliar faces came to Jinghai City to attend the wedding, and even the number of security incidents in the city increased a lot.
The main reason was that Lin Yu’s matter reminded Bai Jintong that although Zhao Xiangzi was just a woman and could not inherit most of the resources and power within the family, she was, after all, the daughter of the Family Head, and there must be many people who were thinking about her. And wasn’t Bai Jinzhu the same?
Who knew if there would be someone as obsessed with Bai Jinzhu as Feng Hanke was with Zhao Xiangzi? In this way, Hua Kong would naturally become a target. It’s better to be careful. Seeing that Hua Kong and Bai Jinzhu’s wedding was only within half a year.
For Lin Yu, this was not a big deal. During the day, he chatted with Zhao Xiangzi, and occasionally played around. When he had time, he would study the Creation Realm Master avatar with Hua Kong and Bai Jintong, which was also very happy.
It’s just that Zhao Xiangzi was not someone who could stay idle. After only a few days, she couldn’t stand it anymore and often wanted to sneak out, but a death order was issued from top to bottom in the City Lord’s Mansion, and Zhao Xiangzi and Lin Yu were absolutely not allowed to leave the City Lord’s Mansion before the wedding.
Zhao Xiangzi’s plan to sneak away naturally failed, but she was not angry or willful. After all, the affairs of those little devils were still vivid in her mind. She was just playful, not mentally ill.
Staying in the City Lord’s Mansion all the time, Zhao Xiangzi naturally felt bored, so she pulled Bai Jinzhu to set up a few small tables in the garden of the City Lord’s Mansion to drink and have fun, and their toy was the Artifact Spirit of the imitation Immortal King Golden Staff, Golden Light Little Child.
“Boy! Do you have a name?”, Zhao Xiangzi asked.
“Um… I should have one!”, the Little Child scratched his head and said vaguely.
“Then what’s your name?”, Zhao Xiangzi became interested. The Artifact Spirit of the genuine Immortal King Golden Staff was a dull Big Man, who looked a little scary, and she, a woman, didn’t like him.
“It seems… it seems… it seems to be called Wan Dao!”, the Little Child frowned and thought for a long time before saying.
“Wan Dao! What kind of name is that!? Haha!”, Bai Jinzhu chuckled.
“What do you know!? I was much more powerful than you before I was alive!”, the Little Child immediately retorted unhappily.
“Before you were alive!? Do you still remember your previous experiences?”, Lin Yu asked suspiciously.
“Of course I don’t remember! I can’t compare to Uncle Mo!”, the Little Child said somewhat dejectedly.
“Uncle Mo!? The Artifact Spirit of the genuine Immortal King Golden Staff?”, Lin Yu asked further.
“Yes! Uncle Mo was a top Great Power before he was alive! He was an existence beyond all worlds!”, the Little Child said admiringly.
“I didn’t need you to say that!”, Zhao Xiangzi glared at the Golden Light Little Child Wan Dao.
“Hmph!”, the Golden Light Little Child glared back at Zhao Xiangzi.
“Um! Xiangzi, can you tell me about this Uncle Mo?”, Lin Yu interrupted the two people’s bickering.
“Uncle Mo!? What does Xiao Yu want to know?”, Zhao Xiangzi asked back.
“Who is he?”, Lin Yu asked.
“Uncle Mo’s identity is difficult to verify. He himself is unwilling to reveal it, but according to family rumors, Uncle Mo was indeed a remarkable existence back then. It is said that he was a Primordial God King born in Chaos, but the Senior who created the Immortal King Golden Staff was even more powerful. He defeated him, refined his body into the Immortal King Golden Staff as an Immortal Material, and trapped his Soul in it to become the Artifact Spirit!”, Zhao Xiangzi said.
“Who was the Senior who created the Immortal King Golden Staff? Since that Senior was so powerful, why did the Immortal King Golden Staff fall into other hands?”, Lin Yu was savoring Zhao Xiangzi’s words, when Hua Kong took over the conversation.
“No one knows! The process of obtaining the Immortal King Golden Staff is a family secret, and I don’t know either! As for that Senior, maybe he didn’t survive the Heavenly Tribulation and disappeared, or maybe he went to the Chaos God Realm!”, Zhao Xiangzi picked up her wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said slowly.
“Even such a powerful Senior would not be able to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation?”, Lin Yu said in surprise.
“Of course! Our realms are still low, and we usually only have Heavenly Tribulation when our realm is improved. After reaching the Seventh Level of Realm Lord, there will be a small Heavenly Tribulation every five hundred years, and a large Heavenly Tribulation about every three thousand years. Even sleeping cannot avoid it. The small Heavenly Tribulation is okay, and basically can be survived with more preparation, but the large Heavenly Tribulation is really hard to say. Even if my family has the Immortal King Golden Staff, this top-level Divine Artifact, the elders must be very careful when transcending the Tribulation!”, Zhao Xiangzi said with a frown.
“Chaos God Realm? Is there a world in this Chaos that is more advanced than the World of Light!?”, Hua Kong thought of another thing.
“Of course! The All Heavens and Myriad Realms are not a joke!”, Bai Jinzhu said with a smile.
“Has anyone been to the Chaos God Realm?”, Hua Kong asked again.
“I don’t know about that! It’s still relatively far away from us!”, Bai Jinzhu replied thoughtfully.
“I see!”, Hua Kong was silent.
“Chaos God Realm!?”, the Golden Light Little Child Wan Dao muttered when he heard this word.
“What! You’ve heard of it!?”, Lin Yu saw that the Little Child seemed to know something, and quickly asked.
“It seems so! It’s just that most of my memories have been erased! There shouldn’t be anything of value!”, the Little Child said somewhat helplessly.
“But! This imitation Immortal King Golden Staff should have just been created a few decades ago! You should be a Cultivator of our era! You can become an Artifact Spirit, so your strength should not be weak. Don’t you have family, descendants, or Fellow Disciples?”, Lin Yu asked.
“Alas~! If I had them, how could I be easily refined into an Artifact Spirit? Although most of my memories have been erased, I can feel that my Main Body should be a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object that accidentally entered the path of Cultivation!”, the Little Child said.
“Yes! That should be it! You should be a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object that my family’s elders obtained in the Time-Space Wheel. I’ve heard some rumors!”, Zhao Xiangzi added.
“Then we got this imitation Immortal King Golden Staff, which only has one percent of the potential of the genuine product. How should I use it?”, Lin Yu took a sip of wine and asked, pointing at the Little Child.
“I know some uses, but it’s best to ask him!”, Zhao Xiangzi said, pointing at the Golden Light Little Child.
“Him!?”, Lin Yu frowned. He felt that this kid was a little unreliable.
“Tsk~~”, the Little Child looked a little unhappy when he saw Lin Yu’s expression.
“Can you inscribe Formations?”, Hua Kong suddenly thought of the Nine Tribulation Yin-Yang Refining Spirit Formation he had deduced.
“Formations? I should be able to!”, the Little Child thought for a while and replied.
“Really? Then help me deduce a Flight Formation!”, Hua Kong wanted to see if what he said was reliable.
“Where’s the Array Diagram?”, the Little Child asked.
“Here!”, Hua Kong took out the Flying Boat Array Diagram he had created in the Lower Realm and handed it to him.
“Um~~ this Formation is very simple!”, after taking the Array Diagram, the Little Child said after a while of probing with a Streamer appearing at his fingertips and entering the Jade Tablet.
“Then deduce it!”, Hua Kong said.
“Watch carefully!”, only to see beams of light like substance shooting out from the Little Child’s eyes. The beams of light were constantly bent and changed direction under the Little Child’s control, and soon a complex Array Diagram appeared in mid-air.
In the Array Diagram, Fire Element energy surged rapidly, driving the Gold Element material to rotate rapidly. The Five Elements Qi between Heaven and Earth was pushed up and sprayed out from all around the Array Diagram, but this was only a simulation of the Array Diagram’s operation process, and it did not have much effect.
In order to simulate the real situation when the Array Diagram was running, the beams of light in the Array Diagram quickly turned into real energy and began to operate. The Array Diagram burst out with powerful energy, and a strong wind suddenly blew, blowing the flowers and plants in the garden upside down.
“You brat! Stop it!”, Zhao Xiangzi shouted quickly when she saw this scene.
“Stop!”, the Little Child shouted softly, and the Array Diagram immediately dissipated. The garden returned to calm, and the Little Child looked at the few people arrogantly, feeling very awesome.
“Then! Doesn’t that mean you can do anything!?”, Hua Kong asked in shock.
“Theoretically, yes! I can manipulate the power of the Five Elements Yin-Yang and the power of Space-Time, so I can indeed do anything!”, the Little Child said proudly.
“Then what are your flaws?”, as an Artisan, Hua Kong knew that this kind of Treasure could not be without flaws.
“Flaws? Yes! If I consume too much, I will fall into hibernation!”, the Little Child said seriously.
“Then what if the outside world provides you with energy?”, Hua Kong asked.
“That depends on your strength! With someone like you, you can fight for half a day at most!”, the Little Child glanced at Hua Kong and said.
“That’s okay!”, Hua Kong was quite satisfied when he heard that he had half a day.
“That’s okay!? Since you have such low demands on yourself, there’s nothing I can do!”, the Little Child shook his head and said.
“Hehe~~”, Hua Kong was not angry, because he knew that the Nine Tribulation Yin-Yang Refining Spirit Formation had been settled, and he didn’t need to deduce it himself.
“Are there any other flaws?”, after thinking for a while, Hua Kong felt that the Immortal King Golden Staff was just a Magical Artifact no matter how powerful it was, and it could only do limited things.
“Do you have some misunderstanding about the words Immortal King? How can the Magical Artifact he uses be compared to ordinary Magical Artifacts!”, the Little Child said expressionlessly.
“Then are you omnipotent? Can you refine pills?”, Hua Kong asked.
“Give me the Pill Recipe, and I can try!”, the Little Child said seriously.
“Are you really omnipotent? Really without any flaws?”, Hua Kong was not convinced.
“If I have to say a flaw, then there is one, that is, I am not a real Immortal King Golden Staff, but just an imitation!”, the Little Child said.
“That’s it! Okay!”, Hua Kong responded and smiled.
“Xiao Kong!?”, Lin Yu understood what Hua Kong meant and immediately looked at Hua Kong.
“Let’s drink first!”, Hua Kong raised the Glazed Cup in his hand, and the emerald green Spiritual Wine in the cup shook.
“Okay! Okay!”, Lin Yu also raised his wine glass and showed a happy smile.
“What are you laughing at? So mysterious!”, Zhao Xiangzi saw Lin Yu and Hua Kong laughing inexplicably, and asked with a strange expression on her face.
“Hmph! You must be thinking about something bad again!”, Bai Jinzhu had been with Hua Kong for a while and felt that although Hua Kong didn’t like to talk and was always studying Formations, Array Diagrams, and crafting Artifacts, he was not one of those good old people who didn’t know anything.
“Yes! Tell me! Which little Spirit Fox are you thinking about!?”, Zhao Xiangzi was a little drunk and asked, pointing at Lin Yu.
“No! No! How could that be!?”, Lin Yu quickly cleaned up his expression and said seriously.
“You lecher! Come here to this Miss!”, Zhao Xiangzi beckoned her finger.
“What’s wrong, Xiangxiang!”, Lin Yu leaned his face over in confusion.
“Nothing? I’ll show you something good!”, Zhao Xiangzi said with a charming look in her eyes.
“Ah~~ It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”, who knew that as soon as Lin Yu leaned over, Zhao Xiangzi grabbed Lin Yu’s ear and twisted it into a twist.
“Haha! Xiao Kong, come here! I want to teach you a lesson too!”, Bai Jinzhu laughed loudly when she saw this scene.
“Um~~”, Hua Kong didn’t move and looked at Bai Jinzhu strangely.
“Be gentle! Be gentle! Xiangxiang!”, Lin Yu shouted from the side.
“You stinky guy! You’re really a blockhead!”, Bai Jinzhu complained when she saw Hua Kong was stunned, and immediately came over and pinched Hua Kong’s face.
“Um, come on!”, Hua Kong then realized that he had not cooperated with Bai Jinzhu, and quickly turned his ear towards Bai Jinzhu.
“You stinky guy!”, Bai Jinzhu did not pinch Hua Kong’s ear, but instead fell into Hua Kong’s arms, put one arm around Hua Kong’s neck, took a sip of the Spiritual Wine in her cup, and kissed Hua Kong on the mouth.
“Um~~”, before Hua Kong could react, a warm and soft feeling passed, and a Spiritual Wine was poured into his mouth. Hua Kong quickly swallowed it, and then Bai Jinzhu’s little tongue entered his mouth with the fragrance of wine.
“I want to do this too!”, Zhao Xiangzi quickly followed suit when she saw Bai Jinzhu’s actions, took a sip of wine, and kissed Lin Yu on the lips.
“Um~~”, Lin Yu was naturally also fed a mouthful of wine.
“Um~~ How disgusting~~”, looking at the scene in front of him, the Golden Light Little Child stuck out his tongue in disgust.
