Xu Fang was stunned.
Wait, four nebulae?
It's true that I have four attributes, but the golden star is my true body; I should actually possess three nebulae!
What's with the extra one?
And when did my water element break through to the intermediate level?
"Wait, let me sort this out..."
The amount of information was too much for Xu Fang's brain, which had been slept for a month, to process. So he gave up thinking and decided to look at the water system, which he was more familiar with.
Within the Water Nebula, forty-nine golden stars are hurtling about, their surrounding rings shimmering with aquamarine light.
What Xu was most concerned about was the shape of the nebula.
The nebulae of ordinary mages usually have some impurities and are just shiny, without anything special about them.
But the nebula that Xu Fang was facing now looked as if it were hidden in the mist, swirling like a vortex, with a dangerous mystery.
"Spirit Seed?"
Xu Fang's eyes widened. "Damn, is it okay for someone to have a wild spirit seed growing in their brain?"
Talk is talk, and jokes are jokes. Elemental things are all about mutual consent; if either party rejects them, the absorption ritual will fail.
In other words, it's likely that Xu Fang absorbed it himself.
"Could it be... the mist from Duma Waterfall?"
Old Man Bao just told him that the dense fog was generated by Riley and his group of priests using a water-based magic array, and this spirit seed is most likely a kind of array eye.
Such a precious item, I never expected it to fall into the hands of my murderous enemy. I wonder what kind of expression Lai Li would have if he knew this in the afterlife.
After examining the water system, Xu Fang turned his gaze to the fourth nebula that had suddenly appeared.
"I go!"
The Misty Nebula was already stunning enough, but what Xu Fang didn't expect was that this brand-new nebula was even more abstract.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the traditional star-ring combination, but rather something like the Earth-Moon system, with an eerie purple star hovering around the golden star.
The two stars are not much different in size, giving people a certain feeling.
It seems that all it takes is a trigger for the eerie purple star to turn the tables and make the golden star its satellite!
······
Old Bao still had some professional ethics; while he was ruthlessly slaughtering the fat sheep, he didn't forget to inform the big shots that the man had woken up.
A small town in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Hua Zhanhong received the message from Old Man Bao, and his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed for a moment.
Opposite him stood a tall man, his face filled with resentment and defiance.
"Commander Hua, I disagree with your decision!" the man argued indignantly. "Give me more time and more test subjects, and I will succeed immediately. This is an unprecedented breakthrough in magic..."
"Listen to your tone, Lu Nian. As a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, do you think human lives are just disposable experimental materials?"
Lu Nian was speechless, but argued, "These people were originally death row inmates. Although there were indeed some uncontrollable aspects, we eventually dealt with them all and they did not harm anyone!"
He felt that the current Chinese military leaders were so rigid and incomprehensible that they had completely lost the boldness they once possessed.
As long as the goal is good, what does it matter if the means are a little dishonest?
They were clearly creating. In ancient times, when there were very few magic systems that people could awaken and learn, there were still great people in various fields exploring and pioneering.
Sacrificing for humanity is a mage's duty. Each additional elemental power strengthens the nation and humanity as a whole!
Unfortunately, my superiors are blind and cannot see my sincere heart!
"Obey orders." Hua Zhanhong was too lazy to say anything more.
He had never really liked Lu Nian, his subordinate. Although Lu Nian was one of the most capable people in the Military Intelligence Bureau, his extreme and stubborn nature sometimes made him seem like a madman.
"Yes!"
Even though Lu Nian had a thousand reasons to disagree, he could only salute and watch Hua Zhanhong leave, not daring to cause any more trouble.
Snapped!
Lu Nian lit his pipe, took a deep drag, and stared into a daze.
As the adjutant Jiang Yi entered, Lu Nian looked at her and asked, "Did you find out?"
Jiang Yi said, "It seems something happened with the parasitic demons, but I can't find out the specifics because I don't have the necessary permissions."
"The idiots in charge of the new dimension messed things up, but we're all supposed to swallow the consequences," Lu Nian sneered. "They're just making up an excuse because they're afraid my great experiment will shake their position."
"So what do we do now?" Jiang Yi asked.
Lu Nian struggled for a moment, then a ruthless look appeared on his face: "Continue the experiment! Our direction is correct, all we lack is a perfect test subject!"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but say, "But by doing this, you are openly disobeying military orders. If you are caught by the magic police, you will be stripped of your military rank!"
"So what? I'm doing this for humanity!" Lu Nian's dark face surprisingly revealed a hint of holiness: "As long as a new system can be created, I don't care about being stripped of my military rank, or even if it costs me my life!"
Jiang Yi looked at Lu Nian with fervent eyes.
"Your subordinate will certainly follow!"
······
Magic City, Qingtian Hunting House.
"Xu Fang!"
When Jiang Shaoxu returned from buying food and heard the news that Xu Fang had woken up, she excitedly ran upstairs.
Lingling called after her, "Slow down! You'll spill it! My floor! My carpet!"
Rushing into the room, Xu Fang just snapped out of his meditation. Hearing the noise, he turned around and smiled: "You're back?"
Jiang Shaoxu lunged forward, stumbled and fell on top of Xu Fang, causing Xu Fang to gasp in shock.
"Are you alright? I didn't mean to!" Jiang Shaoxu was flustered with concern and said helplessly, "Does it hurt a lot? I... I'll rub it for you!"
Lingling, who was following behind, pouted. This wasn't pain; it was clearly a bittersweet experience!
As she rubbed his eyes, they reddened, and tears streamed down her face.
Xu Fang lost his composure. "Hey, hey, hey, it seems like I'm the one in pain, why are you crying?"
"Don't cry, I'm fine, I'm perfectly healthy now." Xu Fang raised his arm, his biceps bulging as if to show strength.
"Is it really okay?"
"I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong with me."
This sentence really provoked Jiang Shaoxu. Under Xu Fang's questioning gaze, he reached out and lifted Jiang Shaoxu's head up like pulling up a radish.
Their eyes met, and they could hear each other breathing.
Xu Fang's gaze darted away, and then, in a moment of madness, he actually closed his eyes.
Jiang Shaoxu's breathing became erratic. Looking at Xu Fang, who was looking up with his eyes closed and his eyelashes trembling slightly, she knew the atmosphere had reached a certain point... She gritted her teeth and suddenly lowered her head.
"Eek!"
Lingling, standing at the door, let out a small scream and quickly covered her eyes with both hands, her fingers spread wide apart, her big, dark eyes peeking out from between them.
Oh ho ho ho!
Lingling watched with great interest, though she couldn't explain why, since it was nowhere near as profitable as making money or hunting demons...
Perhaps it's because the way the two were so engrossed in each other made it so relatable?
Chapter 99 Daily Life at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds
Xu Fang lay on the bed, head tilted back, eyes closed, letting Jiang Shaoxu do as she pleased.
No wonder so many people like queen-like girlfriends. The irresistible charm of being able to passively enjoy it is quite addictive!
Jiang Shaoxu's lung capacity wasn't very good, and after only a short while, his face turned red and he was panting heavily.
Xu Fang licked his lips; there was a metallic taste of blood. He'd been too engrossed in the moment to notice. "Are you a dog? Why are you biting people?"
Jiang Shaoxu said fiercely, "I bit you, so what! Weren't you so capable before, tying me up and saying you'd kiss my lips raw? Come on!"
Xu Fang willingly shrank half of his body back under the covers, his eyes obedient, looking like he was accepting punishment.
"you···"
Seeing this, even though she knew that the blond-haired guy was just pretending to be pitiful, Jiang Shaoxu couldn't say anything else.
Moreover, he did that in order to save his own life.
What else could I say?
Of course I forgave him.
Although Xu Fang has regained consciousness, Old Man Bao said that his body is still relatively weak and he needs to stay at the Qingtian Hunting Lodge for observation for a period of time.
Xu Fang said, "Actually, I think there's no problem."
"I don't care what you think, I care what I think. Petrification and parasitism, either one can kill a mage. You're just lucky to be alive."
Old Man Bao shook his head: "During this time, you should try not to use magic. It will be safer once your physical condition stabilizes."
Jiang Shaoxu also bid farewell, as she was going to participate in the special training of the Forbidden City Army.
"Next time we meet, I'll protect you!"
"Mmm, I will definitely bury my face in your chest and cry loudly."
"devil!"
Jiang Shaoxu burst out laughing.
······
Qingtian Hunting Grounds is located on an old street full of Republican-era charm. Walk along the bluestone path to the end of the old street, and you will see the signboard swaying gently in the breeze of the alley.
In contrast to the charming scenery, the business of Qingtian Hunting Grounds is booming.
