“Great-Grandma, how do you feel? Say something…” Li Xianyu’s fingertips trembled as he stroked her wound. “How do I help you?”
He was totally flustered. What happened in front of him was beyond his understanding. In his mind, the body of Great-Grandma was impenetrable. She had only been wounded once by the Demonic Priest’s sword of qi. However, back then, when she was nailed to the stone, her foundation had not been broken, although she looked pathetic.
The sword of qi could only hurt her, but it couldn’t break her body. However, the black javelin, whose origin was unknown, actually broke her body. Her white hair appeared prematurely and her face was wrinkled. Obviously, her foundation had been wounded.
“How could it be like this? How could it be like this…?” Li Xianyu held his great-grandmother tightly. “We just wanted to save a few people. We just wanted to save a few people.”
He was as frantic as Sister Xianglin. He had only received a task to rescue a few colleagues from other branches. This seemingly posed no challenge and was suitable for him to boost his ego. How could such a thing happen? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry who took out a gun could actually hurt Great-Grandma?
“Ha ha ha, Great-Grandma, you could have such a fate too.” There was a sharp pain in Li Xianyu’s left arm, and Slime’s laughter came through his gloves.
The black energy halo on his left shoulder emerged, and it became extremely dark. Li Xianyu’s left arm was beating like a human heart. This was Slime attacking the seal. This rascal finally had its chance.
“Upright people don’t speak behind others’ backs. I’m going to usurp the master’s throne today.” Slime was very happy.
Anger, hunger, greed… All kinds of negative emotions started to surface. Li Xianyu held his left arm, as cold sweat trickled down his forehead. Red light flickered in his pupils.
“Don’t come here!” he roared.
Chu Lin and Jia Zheng stopped a few meters away. They looked at Li Xianyu, terrified. He had different expressions on his face, sometimes painful, sometimes ferocious, sometimes crazy.
At this time, the two of them remembered the reputation of the Li family descendant.
It was said that he didn’t recognize any allies when he went berserk. He wouldn’t care if they were allies or not.
Chu Lin’s gratitude and affection for Li Xianyu disappeared instantly. As expected, the madman was not as pleasant as the men who were proud, ascetic and charismatic.
She pulled Jia Zheng back a few steps. “C-Call and ask if the branch’s reinforcements have arrived. The states of the Li family’s descendant and Unparalleled War Spirit are not right. We need help.”
“Don’t panic. You look like a baby that hasn’t weaned off anything.” Great-Grandma’s face was tired and her tone was weak, but it did not prevent her from reprimanding her disheartened great-grandson. “The wise keep calm before a big event, and believe in the current state of affairs.”
“What should I do?” Li Xianyu took a deep breath and tried to fight against Slime’s negative emotions. Two months ago, he would spiral down the cycle of evil thoughts in minutes. However, he was not the same as before now. He had more life and death experiences, greatly improving his state of mind and his willpower.
“I don’t have the strength to pull it out. Help me do it. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Great-Grandma said.
Her face was still aging and her hair was turning grey.
Hearing this, Li Xianyu was determined. He held the black javelin and pulled it out.
Great-Grandma grunted, as if she had just experienced some great pain. The javelin was detached, and black blood immediately spewed out.
Li Xianyu hurriedly pressed against her chest, but Great-Grandma stopped him. Her expression was a little unnatural.
As his hand was frozen in the air, he was reminded that touching Great-Grandma’s chest was very inappropriate.
Great-Grandma sat cross-legged, as her pale and white lips mimicked a sucking motion.
Li Xianyu covered his waist, and slowly slumped to the floor beside his grandmother.
Under the nourishment of her great-grandson’s sperm, the wounds on Great-Grandma’s chest healed slowly, and the flowing blood turned from black to red. The wounds, which appeared like cracks on the surface of porcelain, were also repaired.
However, her face was still pale, and the wrinkles on her beautiful little face did not fade. The blue and white strands of hair on Great-Grandma’s head intertwined, which made Li Xianyu sad.
The Unparalleled War Spirit and her owner functioned as one unit. As long as Li Xianyu didn’t die, she would possess his self-healing powers.
It was convenient to go anywhere with a portable power bank.
“I’ve got enough sperm for you. Suck more.” Li Xianyu’s face and lips turned pale white.
Great-Grandma shook her head. “It’s useless. I can only use your sperm to suppress the injury. I have to recuperate slowly to dispel that strange power thereafter.”
A slight click noise sounded in his ear. Looking down, Li Xianyu found that the javelin in his hand had cracked. It looked like a charcoal stick, black and crisp. He could not comprehend how it had hurt Great-Grandma.
“Great-Grandma, do you know what this thing is?” In the face of difficulties, he had become accustomed to seek Great-Grandma’s advice.
However, Great-Grandma didn’t know anything about this thing. She shook her head and said, “I haven’t seen it, but only Gokudo Path level things can hurt me. It has to be peak Gokudo Path level. Maybe it’s of the same level as the sword of qi.”
After that, she glanced at Slime, who kept pounding against the seal. She understood that its host had not died, so it had to remain as his slave. Slime’s attitude utterly changed as a result. “Great-Grandma, is it too late to tell you, I was kidding just now.”
Great-Grandma said maliciously, “Too late, when I step into the Gokudo Path, I will devour you.”
Slime refused to accept its fate. “Psh. Even the Demonic Priest didn’t devour me.”
Great-Grandma thought and replied, “I will seal you for ten thousand years after my great-grandson dies.”
Li Xianyu was speechless.
With a cough, he turned to look at Chu Lin and Jia Zheng, who were afraid to get close. “Where are these people from?”
Chu Lin said, “They were originally a group of smugglers. They are a small gang. However, due to the recent turmoil regarding the Great Deities Palace, smuggling gangs along the coast have become active. We received intelligence to investigate, but we didn’t expect to meet this level of experts.”
According to Chu Lin’s conjecture, this was probably an important smuggling case, or there wouldn’t be any S-level experts acting as bodyguards,
Jia Zheng said, “Although there are no survivors left, as long as we take back the bodies and check the case files, we can find out their identities. We can then try to follow the leads to see if we can find out the origin of the foreigners behind this.”
“Smuggling cases are frequent.” Li Xianyu held his weakened great-grandmother in his arms and frowned tightly.
“Yes, in order to prevent foreign countries from smuggling weapons of mass destruction.” Jia Zheng continued, “our company’s wallets are specially designed. The largest occupies ten cubic meters, the smallest one cubic meter. The ten cubic meter wallets will only be issued for special tasks. From low-level employees to senior employees, the space of the wallet will not exceed five cubic meters. The wallets with the most cubic meters will be given to demon descendants. These regulations were designed to prevent the wallets from being used as smuggling cases, if it fell into outsiders’ hands.”
The Great Deities Palace was about to open, and foreign demon descendants would not miss this event. During this period, many overseas forces were secretly preparing for war and shipping strategic weapons to China. Heat-tech weapons were still okay. Weapons like grenades, handguns, and assault rifles did not trouble demon descendants in the middle and upper skill levels. The heat weapons which were more potent could not be brought into China by foreigners.
It was mainly to guard against some strange magic weapons. Unfortunately, this javelin was among this list of weapons.
At this time, Cui Hua came back with a body in her mouth. It was the German who had escaped.
“Dead?” Li Xianyu was a little regretful. “Why didn’t you keep him alive?”
Cui Hua spit out the body, slapped her front paw, and said, “How to keep him alive? I only have claws and sharp teeth.”
Even an injured S-level expert was a high-end battle force in the demon descendants’ community. Li Xianyu realized that he had underestimated Cui Hua, who was probably able to hold her own against S-level experts.
Soon after, the reinforcements from Fuzhou branch arrived. Chu Lin and Jia Zheng took the seriously injured Qi Bin away first. Li Xianyu followed them and got on the car, leaving the company’s people to clean up the scene.
After driving for a long time, Jia Zheng, who was struggling internally for a long time, summoned up his courage and asked, “Chu Lin, want to go to the cinema tomorrow night?”
Chu Lin’s eyes slanted. “No, I have to write a task report.”
Jia Zheng hurriedly said, “After you finish the task report then?”
Chu Lin replied, “Nope. I will rest for two days, and then continue to take on missions.”
Jia Zheng panicked. “You said there would be me in the options.”
Chu Lin nodded. “Yes, you are option D, but I only choose A, B, and C. I won’t choose D.”
He was utterly demoralized.
Jia Zheng was aggrieved and said, “How could it be like this?”
Li Xianyu panicked as well. Seeing this scene, he felt sorry for his misfortune, but was pissed off at him for not standing up for himself as well. “I told you that being a lackey was not good. Can you have some backbone?”
The three people from Fuzhou branch was not used to Li Xianyu’s speaking style. It was too ostentatious.
However, he was a Gokudo Path Inheritor. He couldn’t be ignored, simply because his status was high. Jia Zheng thought for a while, before asking in a tone as if he was seeking advice, “However, if you don’t do that, you won’t have any chance at all.”
Li Xianyu’s glared viciously at him. Concisely, he replied, “You haven’t been in a relationship before, right?”
Jia Zheng nodded shyly.
“You are still considered young. That’s what a young man is like. When he sees a goddess, he swears that he will not marry anyone but her. If he doesn’t get her, he will hide in his quilt and cry, sulking about his missed opportunity at love. However, as long as you let yourself go and let the old driver show you the way, you will find that goddesses are just like that.”
Any love story that was passionate involved two inexperienced parties.
The rest remained silent as Li Xianyu continued to ramble on.
Chu Lin secretly rolled her eyes.
Arriving at the Luzhou branch, he got the branch’s equipment department to analyse the javelin and figure out what it was. Then, he wrote a report and submitted it to headquarters.
Lightning King placed great importance towards this matter. There weren’t many things in the world that could hurt the Unparalleled War Spirit, and even fewer things could destabilise her foundation. He suspected that this kind of weapon might have been a strategic weapon that specially targeted Gokudo Path Inheritors.
Maybe it was for his boss.
After two days of research, the people from Fuzhou branch failed to understand what the black javelin was, and even disputed the origins of its material. After comparing it against many materials, they found that the material of the black javelin had never been seen before. In more sophisticated terms: After jumping out of the three realms, it was not in the five elements.
Hence, it was airlifted overnight to the headquarters.
Great-Grandma remained weak for several days after. Everyday, she extracted her great-grandson’s sperm and slowly recuperated.
On the third day, Lightning King called and said that clues pertaining to the black javelin had been found.
