Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1648 - 226: Hill Has High Standards for Friends

’Xi Manman’ silently took two steps back.

She didn’t find the scene in front of her particularly beautiful, only that the golden light was glaring.

After all, this kind of stage effect was commonplace in their world... Ah, not really, creating such a natural golden sunlight effect required quite a bit of money.

Nowadays, just planting some flowers would do... Ah, the buffs from other realms.

After all, their Black and White Path wasn’t entirely without advantages; at the very least, the Universal Sky Net’s public buffs were still in place.

Moreover, back in Saral, as the first family to resist the Abyss, they had some blessings from Teraxil: in the underground dark world, they were unaffected.

Whether it be in terms of vision or strength.

Otherwise, their Clan Leader and most of the management wouldn’t have considered Toril’s Underdark as Black and White Path’s heaven-sent opportunity.

’Xi Manman’ silently sighed. Why have I been recalling the past so frequently lately?

She’s still young, not even fifty yet, no need to dwell on the ’good old days.’

Probably... The Female Swordsman glanced melancholically at the battle on the sea, wondering if it was the Paintbrush’s earth-shattering and poignant emotional transfer that suddenly left her with many feelings.

No wonder ’Mobi Chenxin’ decided to move the whole family to the desert after this battle.

Even she, who never really liked the Paintbrush and thought that girl had some issues, found herself occasionally caught in such peculiar emotions, let alone anyone else.

Chalk had been getting into trouble lately too.

Even though she battled with the Paintbrush for so many years, and even after giving up her feelings for the Ink Brush, their relationship was still tumultuous, but now it’s suddenly become like this... Chalk also always felt like she was in a never-ending nightmare.

’Susu’ reached out and pulled her over to a large rock nearby.

’Xi Manman’ gently surveyed her surroundings, focusing her gaze on the Male Swordsman on the rock in a striking posture, but whose eyes had clearly begun to wander.

Then she quickly grasped ’Susu’s intention and promptly leaned her body against the rock... At that moment, the contemplative expression of ’Universal Sky Net’ became all the more meaningful due to the deep red rose glow surrounding her.

Indeed, lighting is the best decoration.

’Susu’ nodded in satisfaction, also reclining against the rock, her pretty knee-length hair cascading smoothly down the other side of the stone, completing the somewhat empty backdrop.

’Cunlü’ did not choose to keep standing at the cliff’s edge.

The dazzling golden light was beautiful and brilliant, but one couldn’t keep staring at it for too long... After all, if you stare at a golden Buddha for too long, even a person’s sense of awe would diminish!

So amidst a wave of regret, the beautiful and seductive Female Priest commanded the pea vines to entwine her waist, soaring into the sky to perform her duties as a flying nanny.

Her performance concluded there, as for what kind of impact or impression was left on those Danboro people, whether it could challenge a certain lady’s still rather solid beauty print, the Undead Tribe didn’t really care.

Bit by bit!

At worst, play around a few more times.

No way, even under obvious Aescian preparedness, could they manage to do anything?

Tsk~

The World Master might be a bit dim-witted, but not utterly useless, right?

The Undead Tribe still had faith in Hill’s stance... obviously, Little Bear firmly stood on the side of Aesces.

Although Hill was kind and gentle, he never tolerated those who were both wasteful and foolish.

Any existence he took a fancy to, even if flawed, had something notable about them, and definitely not irredeemable.

No matter what... it couldn’t be inferior to Alice, who no longer plays the cat, could it?

The rest was up to ’Hard Wind,’ looking resolute and bold, standing among the sunflowers to protect his beloved.

’Cunlü’s remaining duty was to gather as many merit points as possible... being swung around by the Pea Vines to add spring water marks everywhere in the sky.

After all, planting sunflowers wasn’t entirely for lighting purposes.

As a main ingredient in Mental Potions, the sunflowers summoned by a Priest clearly had a mana regeneration effect... and due to their sunlight attribute, they could also help the Pea Vines evolve quicker.

Although usually this evolution could just rely on the Old Age Striking King’s blessing buff, right now there were other needs!

So, there was no need to call Lady Sanda King, who was fighting joyously on the front line, back... besides, ’Cunlü’ didn’t want to test their friendship.

Honestly, she really wasn’t sure she could call her back when the elderly were fighting with great enthusiasm, laughing wildly.

Hm?

What’s ’An Idler’ doing?

With so many enemies, why is he actively trying to bother the Sea Monster?

Wait, he seems to want to climb onto the Sea Monster... trying to rush to the top and then play Shield Fly?

What kind of tactic is this?

Does he not know that the mages, especially those who have no confidence in their eyesight, usually target the Sea Monster for their group spells?

No... does this apprentice of hers even have a brain? Regardless of whatever wonderful idea he has, he can’t possibly survive implementing it under all those group attack spells!

Glancing at ’Magic Sword’ who is obviously also heading towards the Sea Monster’s back, confirming that the two of them are surely going to increase some unnecessary malice value for the mages, ’Cunlü’ urged her Pea Vine to fly her backlit, away from the cliff, in case her face exposed her utterly baffled expression.

Damn it, after the fight, she must ask what kind of brains these two used to come up with such a tactic... tofu brain?

Although the Undead Tribe in Cain Valley is fighting lively, more Undead Tribe members can only envy while watching on the screen... discussing how the Proud Sky Alliance manages to draw the enemies’ hatred from different factions so steadily.

As Acses investigates how much of his world’s laws have been tainted by outsiders, he can only silently endure the humiliation from the ground.

Now, in a world at war, he doesn’t dare to completely block out the Undead Tribe’s chatter about him... of course, the channel he accepts sensing from doesn’t require others to shout his real name, as long as it indicates this world specifically.

After all, if something big happens, he has to suppress the enemy as quickly as possible... however, the first reaction of these Undead Tribe members when encountering enemies isn’t to find the Grand Temples, but rather to try to take a stab themselves.

If they die, they call their friends.

To receive timely messages from the communications of these Undead Tribe members, Acses can only choose to accept everything.

But this is really too painful... when the Acsians mutter about him, at least they know to keep their mouths shut to gripe, but as for the Undead Tribe, they curse casually!

Acses now finally understands why Hill sometimes has a hint of subtle mockery and schadenfreude in his concern for his perception... this Child of Nature, who is very familiar with the Undead Tribe and also has ties with other deities, surely knew for a long time that as time progresses and the number of Undead Tribe members increases, he would inevitably get increasingly stressed out.

Deities who haven’t experienced being casually discussed by millions can’t possibly understand the pain of his Divine Crystal almost exploding now.

Although Lucimar looks longingly at ’Cunlü’, he doesn’t give up on chatting with the lazily seated ’Xi Manman’... this lady’s leather outfit looks tightly wrapped and shows its sexy aspect by being close-fitting, but once she sits down, there’s a glimpse of white thighs between the hem of her clothes and her long boots.

The onlookers can all understand Lucimar’s heart flutter.

This young master of the Ismael Family particularly likes beauties with voluptuous figures displaying sexy strength.

Thus, the mages have no choice but to walk to this corner, exchanging idle chat with Lucimar... what seemed to be an easy conversation becomes troublesome due to Lucimar’s absent-mindedness.

’Xi Manman’ lightly raises an eyebrow.

She’s always sensitive to men’s attitudes, of course, she could sense Lucimar’s absent-minded mood now.

Aside from being slightly dazed by ’Cunlü’, who earlier carried sacred and sexy shock, this mage is clearly trying to use her presence to appear unable to grasp the purposeful dialogue content from the mages.

This is interesting, just a while back when they met, Lucimar clearly wanted to communicate with these mages!

Otherwise, these mages wouldn’t be so obvious in their actions.

But after receiving a certain opportunity from the Undead Tribe, he seems to have decided not to cooperate with those people anymore.

If ’Susu’ hadn’t used the Universal Sky Net’s sword to poke him, solely relying on Lucimar’s pleading gaze, ’Xi Manman’ figured she’d turn and walk away.

Helping Mr. Lucimar bear the malicious attitudes looking at the scapegoat isn’t her task.

’Xi Manman’ lets a carefree smile play on her lips, just about to answer the other’s question when a sharp voice calls out: "Lucimar~ What are you doing?"

"Lucy?" Lucimar straightens from leaning against the cliff, "Can’t you see? Chatting with beautiful ladies about our attitudes towards life!

So, Lady Xi Manman, may I invite you to dinner?"

"Lucimar!" Lucy rushes up the path, glancing around this small platform.

Fortunately, although those trying to leverage Lucimar’s straightforwardness to disadvantage the Ishmael Household are around, other nobles are here too.

And there’s even the famously beautiful ’Cunlü’ lady.

It’s evident they came to see the Undead Tribe’s battle, but... the platform’s men can’t seem to take their eyes off the beauty gracefully dancing on the vines.

Although she feels a pang of sourness and distaste in her heart, the ever-loyal Lucy suppresses the jealousy she perceives in herself and exhales a sigh of relief.
