Ch 128: Prefect An: Do you have some dirt on Zhu Yuanzhang? He can even tolerate this…
Chu Mo blinked, finding himself in a magnificent and luxurious hall. The layout of this hall was quite similar to that of the Shangnan Heroic Spirit Association, but the scale was far, far greater…
The ceiling was a thousand meters high, and massive marble pillars, tens of meters in diameter, supported the vast, translucent ceiling. Glimmers of light shone through the ceiling onto the ground below…
Inside the hall, there were even clusters of flower beds and grass, emitting a faint fragrance.
Although the hall was bustling with people, even more so than the Shangnan Heroic Spirit Association, there was no sense of crowding at all. It was as if a super-large park had been crammed into a building.
“…It looks a bit familiar… Wait!” Chu Mo was startled. This place was somewhat similar in scale to the outer hall he had passed through when he went to the Sacred Domain Treasury in the Heroic Spirit World to retrieve treasures.
Chu Mo was also shocked because he had never seen anything of this scale in his previous life. This was the kind of architecture that could only be born in a world with extraordinary power…
In his previous life, materials science had dictated that it was impossible to build such an absurd structure that defied common senseโit would probably collapse on the very day it was announced that it was being built.
“Welcome to Jiangning City!” Prefect An said with a smile.
โโโ
Next, Anya arranged a single-family villa within the Heroic Spirit Association for Chu Mo to stay in. Then, she granted Chu Mo the authority to contact her directly.
“Jiangning City is very large and prosperous. You can take your time to explore it! In two days, you can give me your answer regarding the teacher’s invitation…”
“Wait a moment!” Chu Mo’s expression suddenly became puzzled. He had spotted a blind spot. “Why don’t you just give me Zhu Yuanzhang’s contact information directly! I can communicate with him directly?”
“Because you don’t have the authority!” Anya rolled her eyes. “This kind of real-time communication between worlds requires very high authority, at least Level Four authority, or you need to have the status of a Baron? Obviously, you don’t have it! Nรผwa is quite strict about this…”
“Then why not let Zhu Yuanzhang enter the Heroic Spirit World and communicate with me?” Chu Mo frowned again, spotting another blind spot.
Anya looked at Chu Mo strangely. He actually called the teacher by his full name? And there was no hint of reverence in his tone.
The relationship between this Great Demonic Lord and the old man… It’s really making me imagine things! Could it be that they developed feelings after being enemies for so many years? That’s ridiculous enough… Is the old man that kind of person?
While mentally complaining, Anya explained, “Because he can’t enter.”
“…Huh?” Chu Mo’s pupils contracted. Why? Logically speaking, shouldn’t all Heroic Spirits be able to…? Was it because he was too strong? That First Emperor… Wait, it seems like the First Emperor hasn’t entered the Heroic Spirit World for a long time either!
“That’s about it! Find me if you need anything.” Anya patted Chu Mo on the shoulder, then took a step forward, her figure instantly disappearing into thin air, as if she was running away.
“…Prefect, are you that busy?” Chu Mo’s expression was strange, but after thinking about it, it seemed normal for her to be in charge of 800 billion people and hundreds of thousands of large cities with populations exceeding one million!
Who knows, maybe another large city similar to Shangnan had been attacked and needed her support… Who knows?!
“Then what should I do next?” After pondering for a long time, Chu Mo chose to head to the single-family villa area. This villa was quite ordinary, located on the ground, and couldn’t compare to the exterior of the Sendai Pavilion at all. However, the interior decoration, including the concentration of spiritual energy, far surpassed the Sendai Pavilion.
“It feels like the Sendai Pavilion has instantly become all glitter, no gold,” Chu Mo complained, then lowered his eyes with a serious expression and began to cultivate. He planned to completely digest all the gains he had accumulated from the previous war first.
He would only emerge after cultivating to Level Three Sixth Grade!
Chu Mo wouldn’t feel bored either, or if he really got bored, he could use his mind to control and take over the Demonic Avatar, which would also count as going out for a walk…
โโโ
Three thousand miles outside Great Port City.
The Demonic Avatar and the Heavenly Khan stopped in their tracks. The Demonic Avatar fell into deep thought. “We’re killing the demon tide mainly to accumulate blood qi for breakthroughs! But now the accumulated energy over there is full. It seems like there’s no point in killing anymore?”
“Should we drag it out until a month later…” After hesitating for a moment, Chu Mo threw the messy thoughts out of his mind. “Forget it, let’s keep killing!”
Anyway, this era wasn’t lacking in demons and monsters. Simply killing them could alleviate the plight of Great Port City, which was also worthwhile. Moreover, Chu Mo was also training diligently on his side, digesting… At most, it could be said that killing them wasn’t as useful, but it wasn’t completely useless.
โโโ
Time passed bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Chu Mo’s cultivation had steadily broken through to Level Three Fifth Grade.
“Sigh, I was worried before that killing the demon tide in Great Port City would result in too much energy! I never expected that the distance was too far… The energy conversion efficiency is ridiculously low, which happens to match my digestion speed.”
It was truly, completely not wasted! But it didn’t make Chu Mo feel relaxed.
Chu Mo had already made up his mind that after meeting Chaghan Temur, no matter what, he would bring the Demonic Cavalry to the area surrounding Jiangning Domain City.
Shaking his head, with a thought, he once again had the Demonic Cavalry set off towards Nanyang City. Then, Chu Mo dialed Anya’s number.
“So you’ve made a decision over there?” Anya’s projected image was working hard. She was extremely busy, holding a pen in one hand and correcting two documents at the same time. While communicating with Chu Mo, she didn’t even raise her head. “Just say it directly, are you going or not?”
“I want to ask, can I join the Ming Court but not go to the Kyoto World?” Chu Mo asked righteously.
“…Huh?!” These words directly caused Anya to snap the writing brush in her hand. She looked up at Chu Mo with a somewhat bewildered expression, falling into deep thought. “You’re trying to have your cake and eat it too?”
“Is there something missing after ‘eat it too’?” Chu Mo pondered slightly, adding, “Then can you ask for me if the benefits of joining, what you said before about providing the cultivation resources needed for each realm… Can they be sent over through that space transfer formation?”
“Pfft!” Anya couldn’t hold it in. Her expression was extremely wonderful. She sized Chu Mo up and down. After an awkward silence, she was full of admiration. “The teacher never did this to Zhu Biao back then… You…”
Anya really wanted to say, your face is too big, how could you have the nerve to ask? But when she thought of Zhu Yuanzhang’s previous strange attitude, she didn’t say those words in the end.
Pinching her brow, Anya finally said, “I can relay it! However, don’t have too high expectations for this…”
The communication was cut off.
An incense stick’s time later.
The phone called again. Anya’s expression was so complex that it couldn’t be described with words. It was a special emotion that was a mixture of bewilderment, astonishment, confusion, doubt, and suspicion.
Even with her busyness, she was silent for nearly half a minute at the beginning of the call before finally saying, “The old man over there agreed. The resources for a year have already been prepared for you… The old man wants me to personally go to the Heroic Spirit Association to receive them and then transfer them to you.”
“Seriously.” Anya couldn’t hold it in in the end, asking cautiously, “Do you have some dirt on the old man? Seriously… He probably wouldn’t treat his own son this well!”
His own son would be beaten to the ground for making such an unreasonable request! Wanting to have his cake and eat it too…
And the person making the request was Zhu Yuanzhang, who was known for his tyranny? How dare you not go to heaven?!
Chu Mo: “…”
Was there a possibility that he was indeed his father?!
Of course, despite the complaints, Chu Mo didn’t say it directly, only smiling and gazing at Anya. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss Prefect.”
“…That title, forget it, it’s better than snake demon.” Anya rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Anya knocked on the door, tossed the mountain of resources into the living room with a flick of her hand, and left again without saying a word to Chu Mo.
