Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 906 - 519: Teacher (This - Is Nuclear)

Ma Wu brought Feng Daiku to the factory, but Feng Daiku didn’t rush into the workshop.

A lot of Ghost Needle Grass grew at the workshop entrance, the flowers were in full bloom. Feng Daiku picked a large batch, flew up in the air, and scattered them against the wind; the petals fluttered and danced in all directions.

Feng Daiku landed back on the ground, quietly listening to the sound of the petals hitting the earth.

This was an Emotion Cultivation Technique, Fluttering Falling Flowers.

Just by listening like this, Feng Daiku could deduce the approximate location of the enemy.

She brought Ma Wu to the workshop and moved near the pool.

The pool had slight ripples, Feng Daiku stopped Ma Wu.

A skeleton of a crucian carp emerged from the water, swaying its body and asked, "Are you here looking for me?"

Feng Daiku replied, "I am here for you, but not this fish skeleton."

The crucian carp skeleton slipped aside, and shortly after, the water rippled again, a giant snail swam up.

Ma Wu was a bit nervous, not because of the size, Straw Moth Lady was also large, and Ma Wu was long used to robust bodies.

But this snail carried an intimidating aura, sending shivers down Ma Wu’s spine.

Feng Daiku asked, "May I ask how to address you, young lady?"

The River Snail Girl waved her antennae, as if scrutinizing the two, "Are you people from other provinces?"

Feng Daiku shook her head, "We are Puluo State people."

The River Snail Girl asked again, "Are you here as prolocutors for the outside provinces?"

Feng Daiku still shook her head, "We are not that cheap."

The River Snail Girl lightly traced Feng Daiku’s cheek, "If you aren’t here to mediate, why bother with this affair?"

Feng Daiku brushed away the snail’s antenna, "No matter how you fight with the outside provinces, even if everyone dies, I wouldn’t be bothered to take a look,

but this is Puluo State territory, and it doesn’t concern Puluo State; take your fight elsewhere, don’t bring the flames to our home!"

The snail laughed, the laughter filled with mockery, "Are you really a Puluo State person? Since when did the people of Puluo State care about Puluo State?"

"I am such a person, I truly care about Puluo," Feng Daiku’s tone was calm yet slightly warning, "Go back and make it clear to your people, find another place to fight, don’t make an extra enemy for yourselves."

The snail moved its soft body, the ground gradually became slippery, "Do you have the means to converse with me? Show me."

"Alright," Feng Daiku nodded, and said to Ma Wu, "We should show our means now."

Ma Wu stood upright, placed his hand on the belt, preparing to show his means, Feng Daiku coughed and said, "Not that means, I meant we have to fight her."

Ma Wu was stunned, in such a level of battle, he seemed to have no chance to intervene.

"Wulang, fear not!" Feng Daiku pulled Ma Wu away from the slippery ground, "Come fight alongside me!"

The snail struck first, its antennae suddenly extended, aiming at Feng Daiku’s chest.

Tears glistened in Feng Daiku’s eyes, causing the snail a bit of hesitation, its antennae quivered, and missed the target.

Seizing the chance, Ma Wu focused intensely on the snail, causing its blood to surge, the pair of antennae swelled instantly.

Feng Daiku’s brow twitched, intertwined fingers with Ma Wu, stirring the war spirit with emotions.

Ma Wu’s war spirit surged, and his technique became tens of times more formidable, the snail let out a cry of pain, its pair of antennae exploded on the spot.

The fragmented flesh, extremely corrosive, pitted and corroded the large and small equipment in the workshop.

Feng Daiku and Ma Wu deftly dodged, not letting a drop of snail blood touch them.

Without antennae, the snail lost its vision and sense of smell temporarily.

Feng Daiku didn’t press the advantage, she didn’t intend to kill the snail, she stepped onto the snail’s back and asked, "Do you accept this defeat? If not, we can fight again."

"Not satisfied!" The snail grew new antennae, shook its large body, and flung Feng Daiku off its back, the three of them continued the battle in the workshop.

...

He Jiaqing sat on the campus bench, staying there until dawn.

He used technique to conceal himself, making him invisible to teachers and students, but not concealed completely, allowing Teacher Song to see him.

At nine o’clock, students with classes went to attend, those without classes were still sleeping in, Teacher Song sat beside He Jiaqing, handing him breakfast.

He Jiaqing took the breakfast, quickly saying, "Thank you, Teacher."

"Why aren’t you attending class?" Teacher Song asked.

"Class?" He Jiaqing chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, he thought Teacher Song was joking, "I’ve graduated, why do I still need to attend class?"

Teacher Song looked seriously at He Jiaqing, "There is still much for you to learn, some understand this better than you."

He Jiaqing’s eyes lit up, "Are you talking about Li Banfeng?"

Teacher Song nodded, then asked, "Did you come here to find him?"

He Jiaqing replied truthfully, "I do want to find him, but I don’t know how to start; there’s some misunderstanding between us."

Teacher Song was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure it’s just a misunderstanding?"

He Jiaqing explained, "My intention wasn’t to drag him into all this, there were many coincidences, not within my control."

Teacher Song shook his head, "In those circumstances, making him call you, was that also a coincidence? Do you know what consequences that call brought him?"

He Jiaqing was stunned, "You know about this?"

Teacher Song adjusted his glasses frame, "Of course I know, he sent you to the hospital, he explained countless times to the school, saying he made one call, and you returned,

people thought he was crazy, thought he was talking nonsense, even thought he had harmed you, do you know how difficult his situation was?"
