Chapter 509: Scrophularia (Xuan Shen / Xuan Can)
Above in the sky, every time an attack from the World Tree landed upon the ground, the ground would produce intense, trembling shakes that induced shuddering.
Even transmitting from afar, that terrifying impact force still caused the Cardinals ridden by the group—including Asuka Karasawa, Gou Wen, and others who had escaped from the Ideal State first—to begin shaking violently.
Unlike the northern direction Fisher and Helaire fled toward, under Michael's suggestion, they began fleeing toward the closer ocean direction. Subsequently, they would then circle the ocean to land on the Dragon Continent from another direction.
This wasn't without reason, because Archangel Michael had already discovered the slumbering Dragon God Fafnir at the northern end of Dragon Tail Island. Judging from how the World Tree went all out, the Dragon God's awakening was an inevitable event.
Fleeing towards the north to avoid the aftermath of the Demigods' attacks as much as possible, the Cardinals would inevitably have to operate on overload. This model of Cardinal was hastily manufactured in half an hour by cramming at the last minute; even with Michael personally handling the knife, their performance was also very limited. It was estimated they'd run out of energy after running for a bit.
Running towards the ocean side could maximize avoiding the Dragon God's factor. Furthermore, even if they fell down, landing on the sea didn't mean there was no possibility of surviving; after all, the people boarded here weren't Mythical Ranks like Fisher.
"Hum hum hum!"
But even plotting thusly, unforeseen events still occurred.
Mikhail and Asuka Karasawa were at the very front. But at the same time, they also brought along quite a few living creatures from within the Ideal State whose lives hadn't been claimed by the Threads of Death. They didn't have the slightest bit of consciousness at all, completely at the mercy of being slaughtered by anyone.
When that first ball of light generated its destructive impact force, immediately following a burst of blinding white light, quite a few passenger-carrying Cardinals were instantly swept flying randomly everywhere by the impact force.The Cardinals slightly closer to that ball of light and the unconscious passengers upon them were even more directly reduced to meat paste right amidst their slumber, scattering cracklingly into the ocean.
Gou Wen watched helplessly as quite a few Cardinals beside him lost control and plummeted in the face of that impact. As a doctor, the instinct to save people made him turn his head, subconsciously feeling inside his embrace. He prepared to fish out his Fluid Sword to rescue them.
But even more miserable than Fisher's already completely flaccid Fluid Sword, his Source Fluid Sword was directly gone.
He completely forgot; his own fucking blade was already gone.
After a moment's pause with a stiff complexion, Gou Wen patted the Cardinal beneath him, shouting loudly toward Mikhail behind him,
"Mikhail, didn't David say there was some overload mode just now? Can you let it activate? I'll go down to save them!"
"Gou Wen! The overload mode can't fly very far!"
"Did you forget I'm a Marine Demi-human? Dropping into the sea for me is fucking identical to returning home! Hurry up! You guys go first; I'll come over as soon as I fish them up!"
Speechless, Mikhail nodded his head. Subsequently, turning his head towards David beneath him, he said,
"David, I grant you the authority to autonomously activate the overload mode. When you judge the Cardinal requires the overload mode, you may autonomously activate it."
"No problem, Administrator. This option can drastically increase the Cardinal's payload and propulsion. David will autonomously utilize it at the appropriate time."
Mikhail and Asuka Karasawa were entirely of human bodies. The fact that they could escape right now was entirely relying on the Cardinals' existence, let alone having to free up hands to rescue people; that was simply adding to the chaos.
Gou Wen possessed the Fourteenth-Tier; his physical strength was far higher than theirs, and he also had the identity of a Marine Demi-human as a baseline guarantee. Mikhail could only provide him help on the Cardinal level.
Consequently, following Gou Wen and Mikhail's mutual gaze across the air, they temporarily parted ways in midair. The two continued escaping toward the front, while Gou Wen returned to rescue those people who were about to plummet back up.
In his rear, numerous people who had lost consciousness had detached from the Cardinals due to that massive impact force. Gou Wen couldn't let the Cardinals beneath them operate on overload, otherwise even if rescued, they wouldn't be able to fly very far.
Therefore, the method was: Gou Wen rode upon the overloaded Cardinal to fish them back onto their respective Cardinals.
"David, aside from this Cardinal of mine, do not activate overload on the remaining Cardinals. After I place those Demi-humans back, you'll immediately carry them to leave."
"Sir, please do not teach David how to do things."
Gou Wen smiled helplessly, subsequently half-squatting upon the Cardinal beneath him. Braving the fierce winds, he headed toward the countless humanoid silhouettes in the air.
One person, two people, three people...
In reality, the total number still plummeting wasn't very large; another portion had been directly shattered by the impact force. Yet it was precisely this not-very-large number that caused Gou Wen considerable difficulty.
As he tossed those dropped people back onto the Cardinals one by one, he also drew nearer and nearer to the ground.
"There's still the last one, David!"
"Beep beep beep, detecting distance fifty meters... But there's also a piece of bad news. Do you wish to hear it?"
Plummeting at extreme speed, Gou Wen froze slightly. Lowering his head to look at the Cardinal stepped beneath his feet, he inquired inconceivably,
"Don't tell me you... ran out of energy, right?"
"Beep beep beep, hey, guess what? You guessed correctly! But unfortunately, there is absolutely no reward. Very pleased to meet you, Sir. David anticipates being of service to you again next time. Bye bye now."
"You..."
Gou Wen's complexion also abruptly darkened. The next moment, the Cardinal beneath him also instantly lost all light, flickering with broken electrical arcs as it controllably plummeted towards another direction.
The main burden of overload was precisely the damage to the mechanical body. Perhaps the Energy Moonstone within its body still had remaining energy, but owing to the exceedingly crude assembly, the components inside were estimated to have already completely burnt out.
At this time, uncontrolled plummeting in midair, Gou Wen looked at the final humanoid silhouette merely fifty meters away and the Cardinal following behind that belonged to that Demi-human. After pausing for a moment, he ground his teeth and accelerated anew. Subsequently, he stretched out his hand reaching for the physical body of that Dogman Demi-human.
Unable to grab his foot, Gou Wen shifted his direction slightly to the side, forcefully grabbing his tail in a single swoop.
"Awooo!!"
That Demi-human race still fast asleep was instantly jolted awake by the pain. But before he could even react, he felt a burst of immense strength dragging him upwards, throwing him toward the Cardinal standing by at the side.
That Dogman was caught by the mechanical arm with a bewildered expression. Looking bewilderedly at the heaven and earth splitting surroundings, he was taken farther and farther away from the coastline with a bewildered expression, seemingly entirely not knowing why—when he had merely gotten drunk and blacked out—his home was gone after waking up.
But these were no longer matters Gou Wen could control. Grinding his teeth, he looked at the increasingly close sea surface below. Subsequently adjusting his plummeting posture, the corners of his mouth tilted up as he said,
"Being a doctor really isn't easy, huh. But fortunately everything's sorted out..."
"Splash!"
The next second, he smashed fiercely into the sea surface identically to a cannonball, splashing up a water column several tens of meters high.
Even at the Fourteenth-Tier, amidst such high-speed plummeting, he still suffered a massive impact force.
In an instant, Gou Wen felt intense pain from head to toe. With a sweetness at his throat, he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood into the water.
Unable to endure the severe pain, he twitched once inside the water. His physical body drooped down powerlessly, seemingly unable to move for the time being.
But not long after, right before his eyes, a massive shadow suddenly slowly approached the direction of Dragon Tail Island from the direction of the seabed.
Amidst its constant searching, that massive shadow suddenly sharp-eyedly discovered Gou Wen drifting within the seawater. Therefore, the next minute, that massive shadow headed towards Gou Wen's direction.
He felt the fluctuations of the seawater. Consequently opening his eyes, he unexpectedly saw that massive shadow drawing increasingly nearer; originally, that was a massive Sea Beast.
"Sea Beast... not good!"
He abruptly sobered up a little, subconsciously struggling within the seawater, seemingly wanting to escape. But how could the currently injured him possibly outrun that Sea Beast? Immediately following, he was hoisted up by that Sea Beast, floating up to the sea surface, leaning against a location not far from the shore.
Like a salted fish, Gou Wen hung onto that Sea Beast's back, floating out of the water surface just like that. Only after passing for quite a few seconds did he wipe his own face and stand his body up.
"Gou Wen!"
Yet the next second, beneath the illumination of the balls of light in the sky, upon the back of that Sea Beast, a Graceful and Charming silhouette abruptly reflected into his field of vision.
Originating, that was an exquisitely beautiful female Whaleman wearing some kind of seaweed woven fabric. Her head of deep-blue long hair fell straightforwardly and casually behind her back just like that; such a natural hairstyle yet entirely couldn't cover up her beauty in the slightest. At this moment, there was still some youthfulness and greenness upon her face. Beneath those clothes, one could even see some kind of jelly-like covering, seemingly some kind of medicine treating injuries.
Yet even so, seemingly having already become a habit, she slightly, naturally held her head high.
That condescending line of sight caused her to both resemble the ocean's unique resplendent pearl, while also being richly dignified identically to a Great Emperor reigning over the Four Seas.
Although, in Gou Wen's gaze, this kind of look in the eyes was foolishly silly and stupidly silly, an appearance begging to be smacked... However, who asked her to be his own wife...
Yes, this Whaleman right before his eyes was exactly Gou Wen's wife, Xuan Shen.
"Gou Wen, are you alright?"
The dashing and exquisitely beautiful Xuan Shen right before his eyes looked at Gou Wen quite worriedly, walking quickly toward him.
But prior to that, Gou Wen tilted his head up and stood his body up. He scanned a glance at the hurriedly rushing Xuan Shen before his eyes, huffing a humph and blaming,
"You stupid woman, your injuries haven't even healed yet, what did you come up for? Are you adding to the chaos for me? Do you think any mishap could possibly happen to me, your husband?"
The movements of Xuan Shen walking forward stagnated slightly. Subsequently, she cocked her own eyebrows, meticulously sizing up the Gou Wen before her eyes up and down, as if she had only recognized him for the very first time today.
That look in her eyes: it was unknown whether she was suspecting if the Gou Wen before her eyes had his body seized by someone else—actually daring to speak to her like this?
But Gou Wen in his confident state didn't realize this in the slightest. Angrily looking at Xuan Shen before his eyes, he pointed at Dragon Tail Island in the distance and said,
"Look at what kind of situation goes on over there, and you're still this close! Did you forget how you were beaten half a year ago, still not growing a memory! It's precisely because your husband is me, willing to risk such massive danger to exact revenge for you... But rest assured, that Sorobato has already been finished off by me and another friend. Very Easily."
Upon thinking of his prior experiences, the corners of Gou Wen's mouth involuntarily tilted up. After ascertaining one hundred percent that the person before her eyes was Gou Wen without a doubt, Xuan Shen before his eyes cocked her eyebrow. Subsequently expressionlessly hugging her own hands, she just watched the Gou Wen before her eyes perform like that.
That lovable appearance of his own wife caused Gou Wen, who had left the ocean for so long, to miss her deeply. Therefore, supported by the confidence buff, unable to bear letting go, he stretched his hand out and pinched his own wife's delicate and tender face.
"Smack smack."
So tender you could pinch out water.
Entirely failing to realize the increasingly obvious bulging veins upon Xuan Shen's forehead, Gou Wen withdrew his hand and waved it, thoroughly satisfied. Concurrently he said,
"But as long as your injuries are fine, then I'll forgive you this time. Let's hurriedly leave. It isn't suitable to stay here for long; in case..."
"Are you finished?"
Right at this time, the expressionlessly crossed-armed Xuan Shen before his eyes suddenly smiled, her voice icy cold as she spoke.
"Ah, finished. What's wrong."
The confident Gou Wen didn't realize the danger in the slightest, instead resting his hands on his hips and replying like this.
The bulging veins on Xuan Shen's forehead became increasingly dense. Even the Sea Beast beneath her howled uneasily, seemingly reminding Gou Wen of something...
But Gou Wen only felt it was noisy.
"Go away, go away. Why are you interrupting our husband-and-wife talk."
He kicked the Sea Beast beneath him, saying so.
Then, the Sea Beast buried its head in the sea, no longer speaking, identically to a dead island.
Xuan Shen smiled with crossed arms, suddenly asking Gou Wen amicably,
"Then it's my turn to ask you... I came ashore to find you along the imprint of our marriage token. But could you tell me why you're right in front of my eyes, yet the imprint of our marriage token is still on the shore? Where did that token go?"
Gou Wen's confident expression abruptly petrified. Subsequently, a layer of cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.
Yes, in reality, Gou Wen's blade and Xuan Shen's hair ribbon both bore imprints capable of sensing each other.
Gou Wen was a traveling doctor who frequently wandered outside, and Xuan Shen also frequently fought back and forth in the sea. They both needed an imprint to know each other's location, so it was easier to transmit messages.
The items engraved with that imprint were precisely the symbol of their loyal love. They held important significance to both of them; they had to protect them exactly like protecting their own marriage.
This was also why Gou Wen previously wouldn't get close to any female charms, searching outside continuously for four days just to find that blade.
But at this moment, the "peak condition" Gou Wen unexpectedly generated a burst of confidence from out of nowhere. Hands on his hips, relaxed and natural, he laughed heartily and said,
"Oh, that blade, hahahaha... I accidentally lost it."
Looking at the head-high, chest-out Gou Wen before her eyes, the smile upon Xuan Shen's face grew increasingly radiant.
Maintaining her smile, she soundlessly raised that fist which was already clenched tight enough to explode.
An extremely terrifying aura transmitted from Xuan Shen's body. The next second, she instantly turned hostile. That exquisitely beautiful smile instantly shattered, becoming a violent wrath akin to a volcanic eruption.
"Gou Wen!! I've given you too much face, haven't I!?"
"Boom!"
The next second, an iron fist full of Xuan Shen's wrath—which Gou Wen couldn't be more familiar with—smashed fiercely onto his face just like that, accompanied by a terrifying wind-breaking sound.
"Buzz..."
At that moment, the muscles on Gou Wen's face were violently deformed by the massive force pushing against them. Even his brain instantly went blank along with it. His entire person collapsed uncontrollably onto the back of the Sea Beast beneath him.
"Thud!"
Feeling that muffled sound of hitting the ground, the Sea Beast carrying them beneath also sighed at the bottom of the water.
It had also wanted to advise against it and had already tried its best. But who told Gou Wen to be just too incredibly brave.
It was a new Sea Beast that had newly followed Xuan Shen and didn't understand many things very well. It just had one question...
Which was to say: could it be that Xuan Shen's husband had always been this incredibly brave?
Xuan Shen inhaled sharply from anger. Like a volcano erupting halfway, she hadn't finished venting yet; she wished she could drag Gou Wen up and beat him again.
But the Gou Wen lying upon the ground twitched all over the next moment. Subsequently, he groggily and hazily opened his eyes, looking extremely bewilderedly at the completely enraged Xuan Shen before him.
His scalp went numb. Sucking in a breath of cold air, he concurrently clutched his severely aching head. Perplexed, he mumbled a sentence,
"Wifey? Why are you here?"
"Why am I here? You still have the nerve to ask me why I'm here? What, did I come to add trouble for you? This way I wouldn't happen to find out that you lost our marriage token?!"
Breathing fire, Xuan Shen lifted Gou Wen up like a little chick. That smile covering her face was so beautiful yet so dangerous; it was simply more terrifying than all the Sea Beasts at the bottom of the sea combined.
And Gou Wen, startled into a shudder by that terrifying smile, also instantly recalled everything. Struck With Panic, he hastily explained to Xuan Shen,
"Right, wifey!! Our marriage token is lost! It was taken by a... mmm hm mm..."
"Yeah, thank you for telling me this matter. Should I issue you an award?"
"Hey... hey... that one over there... hey..."
Xuan Shen lifted Gou Wen up by his clothes, shaking him violently. Right at exactly the same time, from the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw several silhouettes sprinting frantically on the shore of Dragon Tail Island.
Those silhouettes seemingly meant to be engraved into Gou Wen's DNA instantly triggered a stress response in him. Extremely agitated, he pointed at the shore, saying to Xuan Shen,
"Wifey... wifey... stop shaking, over there..."
"Over there?"
Grinding her teeth, Xuan Shen turned her head to look at the shore. However, she saw that on that shore, a black-haired human woman with considerably long hair, who had changed into a clean set of clothes from head to toe, was standing on the shore waving at Gou Wen.
That woman's smile was sunny and good-looking. Just because her hair was too long, it made Xuan Shen unable to see her entire face clearly. She only felt that girl looked delicate and pretty, bearing an extremely Rebellious and Unorthodox aura from head to toe.
Behind that woman, there seemed to be a few others silhouettes, but Xuan Shen hadn't managed to see them all yet. Because merely seeing that woman's silhouette caused her to burst with an even greater towering rage.
Because she sensed that the marriage token belonging to her and Gou Wen was exactly on that woman's body.
"Fine then, you! Gou Wen! You dare give our marriage token to another woman!? What do you want to do? Don't you forget: with me, there is no divorce, only widowhood!"
"No, no, no..."
Gou Wen's brain was about to burn up. Originally, Xuan Shen wasn't this difficult to communicate with either. Although his wife was violent, she wasn't unreasonable; otherwise, Gou Wen wouldn't have been so infatuated with her.
It was just because he had unwittingly been influenced by something previously. Everything from speaking to acting was very bold, ah, and then he thoroughly provoked Xuan Shen.
Now that Xuan Shen had entered enraged mode, not scattering his Ashes was already good enough; everything else was an extravagant hope.
But Gou Wen, who was exceptionally proficient in this aspect, still instantly seized the opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment before Xuan Shen raised her hand to beat him violently, he hastily opened his mouth. Identical to a string of continuous cannon fire, he rapidly explained,
"Wifey, I didn't lose the token on purpose! I lay dormant in the Sanctuary for a long time to help you exact revenge on Sorobato, but an accident occurred as a result. First, because the Transferred Person was intercepted half-way, I didn't go to the Third Heaven and instead went to the Seventh Heaven. I ran a lap around the Sanctuary and the Tree Continent before coming to Dragon Tail Island again, only then fortunately discovering Sorobato's stronghold for refining Holy Artifacts in the Mortal World.
"Then, although I barely managed to kill him, I was also severely injured. At that time, I had no way to resist; as a result, our token was stolen by that little human thief on the shore. I searched for her for a full four days and Originally intended to search to the very end. But seemingly being affected by some Holy Artifact burning my brain, I completely forgot about this matter... I really didn't do it on purpose! My feelings for you can be verified by the sun and moon, with absolutely no second intentions. If it was intentional, may heaven strike... mmm hm mm."
But before he finished speaking his words, Xuan Shen reached out her hand and covered his mouth. Subsequently discarding him disgustedly onto the ground, she looked dangerously at the Gou Wen before her and said,
"Got it, say a few words less. I already know this place is very dangerous; we must quickly leave. Whatever that human woman is saying, you quickly think of a way to get our token back."
Gou Wen smiled bitterly, subsequently looking at that human woman standing on the shore. Sure enough, following behind her were those few pale-complexioned and anxious Demi-humans. It seemed they were called something like... East South West North Wind's.
The Dragon Tail Island at this moment was on the verge of being flooded by the power of those two Demigods; it was excusable for them to be escaping for their lives so anxiously. It was instead that leading human woman who was still as optimistic as usual, grinning from ear to ear, just as begging for a beating.
What was she called?
Called... Qin Shi Huang? Ying Zheng?
Fucking hell, who cares what she's called, she was simply an animal, a bandit!
Rolling up his sleeves with a chest full of wrath, he arrived at the edge of the Sea Beast. Towards the distant shore, he cursed distantly,
"You bastard! Hurry up and return the thing stolen from my body back to me!"
Placing both of her hands before her own mouth like a loudspeaker, that woman similarly replied toward Gou Wen,
"Hello hello, I can hear you! But Mr. Whaleman's words are incorrect; that thing is a medical fee, how could it be considered stealing?"
"You!"
"But don't be so anxious. I did indeed come over to return it to you. Let's make an equivalent exchange, alright? Carry me and my brothers and sisters for a ride, okay? It's so dangerous here!"
Hearing this, Gou Wen froze slightly. Subsequently, he speechlessly shot a glance at the golden rain of light currently converging in the sky. His doctor's instinct to save people made him hesitate for a moment.
Ultimately, he scanned a glance at his wife beside him, and another glance at the other party's consistently Optimistic and Sunny smile that seemed completely indifferent to everything. He could only say,
"Alright, deal!"
Crossing her arms, Xuan Shen allowed that Sea Beast to listen to Gou Wen's commands and approach the shore, receiving that human and those several Demi-human races behind her aboard before the World Tree's attack was about to descend.
"Hello hello, thank you thank you ah~"
Those several Demi-human Races were all still disturbed in mind, seemingly having not yet recovered their spirits from the terrifying might of that Demigod. Only that overly carefree human curiously sized things up atop the Sea Beast's back.
Looking here and looking there, even poking her head out over the water surface, seemingly estimating exactly how large this oceanic giant beast's specific size was.
Narrowing her eyes, Xuan Shen looked at this human woman before her eyes. Perhaps due to the previous matters, no matter how she looked at this human, she found her an eyesore.
She scanned a glance at the innocent Gou Wen beside her, subsequently speaking coldly on his behalf,
"Human, return the thing taken from my husband's place back here!"
That terrifying oppressive might gave the several Demi-humans to the side a fright, deeply afraid that having just jumped out of a fire pit, they would drop into another ice cave again.
But upon hearing this, that human woman wasn't concerned in the slightest. Conversely, she poked her head up, her eyes lighting up as she looked toward Xuan Shen, identical to having discovered another fun thing again.
Subsequently, acting like an old acquaintance, she walked over. To both Xuan Shen and Gou Wen's Total Unexpectedness, she suddenly grabbed her hands. Shaking them, she said enthusiastically,
"Hello hello! I've heard your husband introduce you. Oh my, truly, hearing of you a hundred times isn't as good as seeing you once. You're also a Whaleman, right? Truly rare, truly rare, hehe..."
Feeling a burst of nausea, Xuan Shen violently flung that human's hands before her away, causing her to cry out "Ouch" as she retreated quite a few steps backwards and toppled onto the ground. Still not taking it seriously, she only sized Xuan Shen up and down, especially the non-human parts upon her body.
"Mental."
Gritting her teeth, Xuan Shen cursed as such. And up till now, she also roughly believed the words her husband Gou Wen had said.
He had truly bumped into an eccentric person. That eccentric person had taken away their marriage token under the pretext of treatment.
Simply seeing the human before her eyes, Xuan Shen immediately felt that this sort of matter was exactly something this person before her eyes could do.
Shrugging his shoulders, Gou Wen walked over to take back the Golden Short Dagger handed out by that human woman. After inspecting it up and down and discovering absolutely nothing amiss, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, walking back to his own wife's side.
Xuan Shen's complexion at this moment was not good-looking. But merely looking at her, Gou Wen felt at ease.
Pausing for a moment, he suddenly opened his arms, tightly hugging Xuan Shen into his embrace.
Xuan Shen froze slightly. Feeling Gou Wen rubbing against her side cheek, her gaze also softened a little. Subsequently patting his back, she humphed coldly,
"Don't think that I'll forgive you just like this."
"It's fine. It's good as long as you're alright."
"...Your true colors."
Pursings her lips, Xuan Shen subsequently opened her mouth, forcefully biting Gou Wen's ear and cheek, speaking softly in this manner.
Mhm, Gou Wen knew very well: this was her feeling bashful; she was acting coquettish.
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!"
Right precisely during this moment of reunion between a couple separated for a long time, upon the back of the Sea Beast drifting farther and farther away from the shore, a burst of crisp resounding abruptly echoed, bursting apart identical to firecrackers one after another.
Gou Wen and Xuan Shen's bodies both stiffened concurrently. Turning their heads to look, they discovered those Demi-humans who came up following the human woman also had the same expression.
"Clap clap clap clap!"
"So touching!"
Looking at the couple, that human woman was currently excitedly clapping her hands on one side, while actually excitedly shedding tears on the other side, as if she truly couldn't restrain herself.
"..."
Everyone on the entire Sea Beast abruptly watched her weeping tears while excitedly applauding just like this. It wasn't until several tens of seconds had passed that she wiped the tears from her own face. Looking bewilderedly around, she asked,
"What's wrong, aren't you guys touched? I'm shipping this pairing of yourselves from now on, wu wu wu..."
"..."
Xuan Shen sighed a long breath, lightly kicking Gou Wen's calf. And he also helplessly curled his lips. Though finding it annoying, the two Whaleman Races were both kind-hearted; otherwise, they wouldn't have engaged in an all-out brawl with Mythic Species Sorobato for the Demi-humans living within the ocean.
At this moment, naturally it wasn't to the extent of throwing this human down purely because of such a minor matter.
But if they knew right now the things this human would do in the future, they supposedly still wouldn't hesitate to kick her down right now.
Xuan Shen and Gou Wen decided to first distance themselves far away from Dragon Tail Island. With the terrifying commotion over there, even separated by a hundred and eight thousand li, Gou Wen wouldn't feel secure. Just in time, capitalizing on this time, he could also speak to Xuan Shen summarizing the matters that had occurred over this period.
Transferred Persons, Angels, Elves... oh, and also that Fisher.
The moment that Fisher was brought up, Gou Wen became so angry his teeth itched; he truly didn't know what he should do with him.
One thought of his own future daughter being together with this kind of person made him wish desperately he could pick up his blade and ruthlessly stab in and out of his body three times over!
It would be best if he also severed those overly-developed and robust kidneys of his!
As the distance from Dragon Continent grew increasingly further, Gou Wen could only suppress the internal worries he held for Fisher—who turned back to save Helaire—as well as Mikhail and Asuka Karasawa who departed a step earlier.
The Cardinal he rode had already broken; currently he temporarily had no way to contact them. Therefore, he could also only place his gaze upon his own wife beside him first.
"Your body, how is it?"
For Gou Wen as a doctor, the first sentence of concern towards his wife was largely like this.
Hearing this, Xuan Shen shifted her gaze entirely away from that human woman lying prone at the edge of the Sea Beast's back, constantly speaking to the sea in an attempt to communicate with this Sea Beast.
She looked at Gou Wen. Bobbing her own head, she blinked at him.
Mhm, Gou Wen read and understood. The meaning was roughly: "Can't you inspect it yourself?"
Smiling helplessly, Gou Wen could only mobilize his own Curse. But upon this look, he was utterly stunned. He abruptly exclaimed loudly in shock,
"You... You entered the Mythical Rank?!"
"Why so surprised?"
Xuan Shen was startled by his loud commotion. Reaching out and patting Gou Wen, subsequently looking at her own hands, she said,
"Lying at home for a few months, don't you say, it actually felt pretty good. In the past I only cared about fighting and had zero time to think. After properly reflecting over it thoroughly right now, I just entered the Mythical Rank... Oh, except for having to listen to that Death Reaper nag every single day at home, so annoying..."
That "Death Reaper" was speaking of Lamastia. Mhm, Xuan Shen had always constantly called Him that.
But none of this was important...
At this time, Gou Wen subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Inconceivably looking at Xuan Shen before his eyes, a monumental perplexity had completely occupied his brain at this time.
This perplexity was exactly: Since Xuan Shen had already entered the Mythical Rank, then reproduction had practically become impossible...
So, where the heck did that future daughter of his Fisher spoke of come from?
[Pleading for votes, tips, and support; this is very important to me!]
[Extremely grateful for the support!]
