Before leaving, Mengmeng thought for a moment and added, “My name is Zhang Yumeng.”
“Now you should know who I am. You’ve messed with Yue Xiaonao. She already showed you mercy by giving you no more than a good beat. You’d better learn your lesson and stop making trouble.”
As they turned around and headed to the back, Yue Xiaonao grumbled, “Mengmeng, I only did this for your sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t spare them.”
Although her words sound aggressive, Yue Xiaonao had never killed anyone.
After the two left, the man with a crew cut looked at a lackey of his lying beside him, who was having spasms. Despite his pain, he edged forward and kicked the lackey.
“Follow them!”
“Brother Li, I can’t move.”
“Loser!”
About 10 seconds later, another lackey, who was quite lean, got up and tailed the two girls from a distance.
Then, the man with a crew cut took out his mobile phone and made a call, swearing like a trooper.
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao strolled in this area for half an hour.
“Xiaonao, let’s go to our next stop.” Mengmeng chuckled and said, “It was my favorite leisure place when I was little. I bet you haven’t visited an amusement park.”
“Amusement Park! I wanna go!” Yue Xiaonao’s eyes shone with exultation. “I’ve only seen that kind of place on my computer.”
“Come on, let’s hit Disneyland today. Tomorrow, we can go to Ocean Park. The day after tomorrow, we’ll hang out at my magic paradise. No, wait. Today, we go to Disneyland. Next Saturday, we visit Ocean Park. And next Sunday, we’ll stay in the magic paradise on the mountain.”
It suddenly occurred to Mengmeng that today was Sunday, and she had to go to school tomorrow.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak…”
The shrill sound of cars skidding to a stop sounded. A line of cars pulled up on the road ahead of the two girls. All of the cars were black Audi. Men in black suits got off from each car. At first glance, one could tell that they were professional bodyguards.
“Seems that they’re here for us, aren’t they?” Yue Xiaonao’s expression changed slightly. She said exasperatedly, “Humph, I let them off the hook, but they called reinforcement to tackle us! They’re courting death!”
“In that case, you can beat them up. But don’t kill them. The secular world is different from the Cultivation World. You’re not allowed to beat people to death,” Mengmeng reminded her again.
Mengmeng was deeply concerned. She was worried about Yue Xiaonao’s temper. The princess of the Black White Palace was certainly not like an ordinary girl.
She was also a little upset. “Why do I often run into rich dandies? Well, that I can deal with. But why do they have to flirt with me?”
Perhaps she hadn’t realized how one’s beauty could attract trouble.
Although Mengmeng was still young, she was charming. Even though she was not the extremely alluring type that every man wanted to have, some just liked to tease her and watch her face blush.
But how could Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao, the two overlords on the Saint Warrior Planet, let others toy with them like that?
With the two girls watching them, the more than 30 men gathered together. Mengmeng felt that she had seen the man in the lead somewhere else.
“It’s them!”
The man with a crew cut was still covering his belly in pain, but he looked furious.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t been battered before. However, being beaten by a little girl was something he couldn’t tolerate.
“Shanxing, this is your territory. I’ll leave this matter to you,” a dignified middle-aged man said flatly to the man beside him.
“Huh, you wanna fight?”
Yue Xiaonao looked at the gang in front of her and sneered.
“How ignorant they are!”
“Smack!”
Before she could make a move, a loud and clear whack suddenly sounded from the dignified middle-aged man’s face.
He had been slapped hard in the face.
The man with a crew cut was dumbstruck.
“You hit the wrong person, didn’t you?
“F*CK, how could you hit our own man?”
Seeing that his father’s partner whacked his father, the man with a crew cut was stupefied.
However, what happened next made him realize what was going on.
The man in black in the lead broke out in a cold sweat. With a pallid face, he scurried to the two girls with his subordinates.
Halfway through, he cupped his hands before his chest and called, “Eldest Lady!”
Although his subordinates behind him were at a loss, they still echoed in unison, “Greetings, Eldest Lady.”
At this moment, dozens of onlookers were pointing fingers at them.
“Phew, it scared me. I thought that the two girls were about to be bullied. I even prepared to call the police. Now it seems that this is just a misunderstanding.”
“How dare they bully others in broad daylight? What a disgrace!”
The public all sided with Yue Xiaonao and Mengmeng because they could tell at a glance that they were weak and were likely to be bullied.
But they didn’t expect that there would be such a twist.
“Huh?”
Yue Xiaonao was taken aback. “Mengmeng, are you powerful here?”
“Well, it’s nothing. It’s mainly because my daddy is powerful,” Mengmeng responded. Then, she looked at Wu Shanxing and asked, “Do you know me?”
“Eldest Lady, I was lucky to have met you once,” Wu Shanxing replied cautiously.
“Who are you?” Mengmeng asked again.
Wu Shanxing’s body tensed up in an instant. He kind of dared not to reveal his name.
If he upset the other party, he might lose everything he obtained through all those years’ hard work.
“I am Wu Shanxing. There is a junior in my family named Zhou Lei,” Wu Shanxing said, measuring every word.
His heart was pounding very fast. He felt he couldn’t be more nervous.
“You’re an elder of Zhou Lei’s?” Mengmeng said, “Oh, okay, it’s all settled, right? My friend and I are going to play now.”
“Su-Sure, it’s all, all settled. Have fun,” Wu Shanxing stammered hurriedly.
“Let’s go, Xiaonao.”
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao left right away. Under everyone’s gaze, they hailed a taxi, got in, and took off.
“Phew…”
Wu Shanxing heaved a sigh of relief. He felt his back was all drenched in a cold sweat.
Just then, upon hearing him introduce himself, the surrounding crowd instantly fell silent.
After a while, many shocked voices sounded.
“H-He is Wu Shanxing?”
“Heavens, he is Wu Shanxing!”
“That little girl has made him so afraid. She must have an incredibly powerful background!”
“Wu Shanxing, why did you act like this?” the middle-aged man behind who had been slapped in the face demanded in a deep voice.
“Why did I?”
Wu Shanxing gave a cold laugh and said, “Your son nearly got himself in serious trouble. Haven’t you noticed? You almost implicated me. Li Feng, it’s no big deal to me even if this cooperation falls through. But there are some people you and I can’t afford to offend. I advise you to ask around and see how high Zhang Yumeng’s status is.”
With that said, Wu Shanxing flicked his sleeve and left.
“Zhang Yumeng?”
The middle-aged man was fuming. He fetched out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
“Have you heard of a girl named Zhang Yumeng from Xiangjiang?”
“Clatter!”
Ten seconds later, the middle-aged man’s mobile phone dropped to the beach, and he staggered and collapsed to the ground.
The name alone had held this rich man in such horror.
This was the result caused by the disparity of strength.
For Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao, this incident was no big deal. It didn’t impede them from having fun.
They went straight to Disneyland. In this vast playground, Yue Xiaonao had a great time. She and Mengmeng also began to get to know each other very fast.
She became more casual around Mengmeng. Mengmeng also learned that although Yue Xiaonao seemed willful on the outside, she was quite simple and innocent.
People following different ways wouldn’t consult each other. Since Yue Xiaonao had quite a lot of things in common with Mengmeng, the two girls immediately hit it off.
While they were enjoying themselves in Disneyland, in the Heavenly Knights Sect of the Kun Xu World, huge crowds of people had gathered together.
Nearly a hundred thousand cultivators had assembled here. The scene looked quite spectacular.
As the representative of the Heavenly Knights Sect, Zhang Mu made the opening remarks.
“Welcome, heroes and heroines.
“This battle in the King’s Domain will be the largest one in history. It’ll involve nearly two million martial artists in the Ancient Mine.
“The battlefield is bound to become a bloodbath. We’ve all gathered here today. Yet, perhaps some of us will not be able to stand by our side after tomorrow.
“However, regardless of success or failure, cultivators should fight for glory.
“Our Heavenly Knights Sect has volunteered to participate in this brutal trial. As for you people, many of you are here to help us. Thanks, but we don’t need such help.
“This is a life-and-death decision to make. I hope you can think it through. My grandson, Zhang Hanyang, also said that those who want to participate in this trial must listen to the arrangements of Lord Nan Shan and the Heavenly Knights Sect. This is war, not a one-on-one fight. If you’re willing to abide by the rules and hope to go through the trial, you can stay. If you feel that the terms are too harsh, you can leave now. I don’t want to see any team acting on its own after we enter the King’s Domain. Because that would only lead to one result—increasing unnecessary casualties.
“I’ll give you half an hour to think about it. After that, we’ll set off for the King’s Domain!”
Zhang Mu’s booming voice spread through the field.
Those who heard it shuddered both physically and mentally.
There had never been a battle of two million people before, not even in the history of the Kunlun Immortal World.
The entire Kunlun Immortal World only had a population of two million. Many of them were ordinary people. And a majority of them were cultivators in low realms, such as the Qi-refining Stage.
The number of Elixir Realm cultivators they had was less than that in the Dark Shadow Clan.
They couldn’t even be compared at all.
Eventually, people began to leave one after another. In total, about 5,000 people bailed out.
There were about 90,000 people who stayed.
In addition to Chen Changqing, Mu Xue, and other Zhang Han’s followers, Lei Tiannan, Ji Wushuang, Gai Xingkong, Sect Leader Mu, Sect Leader Jiang, and others were also in the crowds.
If they missed such a big battle, they might not be able to see another one in this life. Thus, they’d rather take the risks than leave regrets in life.
Sometimes, the pursuit of martial art could be quite simple.
Half an hour later, Zhang Mu shouted, “Off to the King’s Domain!”
The huge army marched to the Ancient Mine Plain. People were entering the entrance of the plain every second.
Large crowds of people abruptly appeared on the Hidden Dragon Land, which frightened those in White Lotus City and Lingxi City. The two City Lords shut the city gates and witnessed the great event from within their cities. Under their gazes, the huge army headed off for the King’s Domain.
“They…”
“They must have come to reinforce Lord Nan Shan.”
Standing atop the city wall, the lord of White Lotus City sighed softly and said, “What a pity! These people may seem to be great in number. Yet, even after adding them to Lord Nan Shan’s original force, Lord Nan Shan’s troop still consists of no more than three hundred thousand soldiers. Lord Bei Huai has a million soldiers. Lord Zhen Hai also has more than six hundred thousand. The difference in strength is too great.”
“Your Majesty, when will we return to the King’s Realm?” several subordinates by his side asked.
“After dusk.”
The lord of White Lotus City uttered these two words.
Most of the members of the Dark Shadow Clan were in the Ancient Mine. Only a few were in the King’s Domain. In the recent battles, their high-level forces in the Ancient Mine had been summoned back one after another. That was how they had gathered such a large force.
For a moment, the members of the Dark Shadow Clan in the Ancient Mine were in a state of panic. That rendered life quiet instead.
The army advanced into the King’s Domain with irresistible force. They startled many spirit beasts along the way.
To deal with such a large group of martial artists, other than initiating large-scale attacks, the beasts could only temporarily lay low.
Those martial artists swaggered forward in the Beast Forest of the Ancient Mine without any impediment. They felt great. Because this was something they had dreamed about but never dared to try.
As the army proceeded toward the King’s Domain—
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao were hanging out in Disneyland in Xiangjiang.
“Wow, there are so many people.”
At the sight of such large crowds, Yue Xiaonao was intrigued.
“Mengmeng, this is your territory. Why do we still need to stand in a queue?” Yue Xiaonao asked in confusion.
“Huh?”
Mengmeng thought for two seconds and muttered, “It’s not my territory. Even if it were, I would have to abide by the rules as well, right, Xiaonao?”
She turned around and found that many people were eyeing her. She quickly lowered her voice and whispered in Yue Xiaonao’s ear, “We have to abide by the rules here. The secular world functions according to its own rules, which are different from those in the Ancient Mine and the King’s Domain. You’ll know in a few days. I’ll give you a detailed introduction in the evening.”
“Oh, okay. It looks like we have to wait for a long time,” Yue Xiaonao said with resignation.
“Just wait.”
Mengmeng was used to this. She stood in the line and chatted casually with Yue Xiaonao.
Since there were too many people in Disneyland, they spent most of their time waiting in lines. Even so, they also got to take several popular rides. It was quite interesting. Yue Xiaonao, who had never experienced these things before, went wild because of all the fun she was having. She didn’t mind the onlookers around at all.
They played in Disneyland until seven o’clock in the evening. Then, the two of them went out for some special snacks.
At around eight o’clock, they took a taxi back to Mount New Moon.
“I had a great time today. Thank you, Mengmeng,” Yue Xiaonao said.
“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do. After all, you also took me to have fun when we were in the King’s Domain,” Mengmeng replied with a smile.
“That’s not the same.” Yue Xiaonao’s expression froze for a moment before she said, “Are we friends now?”
“Yes, we’re.”
“Great, we’re friends now. I’ll take care of you in the future,” Yue Xiaonao vowed with a solemn face.
Mengmeng grimaced. “Do I need you to take care of me? Haha.”
“Mengmeng, you just said that you would take me to play online games in the evening. I’ve only played several single-player games, but not online games,” said Yue Xiaonao.
“I have a laptop in my bedroom. We can play together.”
Mengmeng led Yue Xiaonao back to the castle. In the living room on the third floor, they saw Zhang Han and Zi Yan sitting by the window, chatting.
“Where are my parents? I thought they were here.” Yue Xiaonao was stunned.
“They went back to their place. Your dad has a house nearby.” Zi Yan smiled. Then, she asked, “Did you have a good time today?”
“Yes.” Yue Xiaonao immediately showed a smile and said, “The city is very fun. Tomorrow, no, next Saturday, Mengmeng and I are going to hang out again.”
“Have you had dinner?” Zi Yan asked considerately.
“Yes.” Mengmeng replied, “We had some snacks. Now, Xiaonao and I are going to play computer games, but Xiaonao, your parents are not here. Do you want to ask them when they’ll come?”
“No need. They will come to pick me up in a while.” Yue Xiaonao shook her head.
“Daddy, Mummy, we’ll go play computer games then.”
“Go ahead.”
Zi Yan smiled. The two girls ran to Mengmeng’s bedroom to play computer games. Zi Yan then delivered some fruits to them.
Yue Xiaonao didn’t find computer games themselves enchanting. Instead, she was very interested in the players.
The characters on the screen were all controlled by real people. And players often made remarks on the screen. Most of Yue Xiaonao’s attention was attracted by what the players were saying.
Mengmeng and her classmates started a game together with Yue Xiaonao, the rookie tagging along.
This made Yue Xiaonao a little curious. “It seems that Mengmeng has a lot of friends here.”
It was not until 10 o’clock that Yue Wuwei and Lisa arrived.
Lisa’s face was ruddier, and Yue Wuwei looked much younger, too.
Everyone could tell at a glance what they had done during the time they were alone.
“Xiaonao, time to go home,” called Yue Wuwei from the living room.
“Ah, one more minute.”
This “one more minute” actually lasted 20 minutes. After coming out with Mengmeng, Yue Xiaonao yawned and said, “Dad, Mengmeng will go to school tomorrow. Then I’ll have no one to play with.”
“No, you have.”
Yue Wuwei chuckled, and a bulging schoolbag suddenly appeared in his right hand. “You’ll go to school tomorrow along with Mengmeng. Then, you won’t feel lonely.”
“Oh, okay.”
Yue Xiaonao agreed. She then looked at Mengmeng and waved with a smile.
“Mengmeng, I’ll head back now. Tomorrow, I’ll visit you again.”
“Bye-bye, Xiaonao. See you tomorrow. Grandpa Yue and Auntie Lisa, goodbye.” Mengmeng waved at them as well.
“Bye-bye.”
Lisa nodded, beaming. She found the way Mengmeng bade farewell somewhat novel. Looking at Mengmeng, she said, “Thank you for taking my girl out today.”
Then, she turned to face Zi Yan and Zhang Han and said, “Thank you for having us over. I hope it hadn’t been too much trouble.”
“It’s no trouble at all!”
Zi Yan chortled and said, “You don’t have to be so courteous. Lisa, you’re new here. If you want to go shopping, we can go together.”
“Great.”
Lisa had the same idea. Shopping with Yue Wuwei would be boring. He was a dull man who didn’t care about fashion or any other things that girls liked, even though he was quite romantic in the afternoon.
After exchanging a few words, Yue Wuwei and his family left. In a flash, they disapparated and apparated in their mansion halfway up the mountain.
Mengmeng was still full of energy, so she planned to play games for a while longer. She was bouncing up and down and hummed a song.
“Lalala…”
“Mengmeng, have you finished this weekend’s homework?” Seeing her cocky look, Zi Yan “kindly” reminded her.
“Humph!”
Mengmeng’s face froze, and she snorted heavily.
“It doesn’t matter whether she did her homework or not,” Zhang Han said with a smile, “She doesn’t have to rank top in her class in every exam. School life is just part of the experience, isn’t it?”
“Who said that?” Zi Yan rolled her eyes and said, “Whether it’s studying or cultivation, one must work hard other than muddling through it. Zhang Han, I’m telling you, don’t go against me in this aspect.”
“Okay, okay, you’re right.”
Zhang Han nodded repeatedly.
“After junior school, Mengmeng still has to go to senior high and college. After that, Mengmeng will be in her twenties.” Zi Yan pursed her lips and said, “How fast she grows!”
“Yes, time flies. But we still have a long life ahead of us.”
Zhang Han put his arm around Zi Yan’s waist and said with a smile, “Mengmeng is now at the Foundation Stage. When she reaches the Elixir Realm, she will be able to control the Saint Warrior Planet Pearl and begin to learn about the essentials of the Saint Warrior Planet. There must be some secrets. Although her school life will end then, her cultivation life would just begin. Moreover, there are many large academies in the Cultivation World, where she can study pellet-refining, Qi Refining, illusions, incantations, and other things. To compare the Sea Dragon Star Area to our Main World, it is equivalent to a small county in Hua nation. Our destination is the vast cosmos, where there are many fun and interesting things…”
“Well, don’t brainwash me. You’d better save those words for Xue. You’re her master. She admires you so much.” Zi Yan looked at Zhang Han with a smile.
“Hiss!”
Zhang Han put on a serious look and said, “Xue is very well-behaved. She also admires you, the wife of her master, very much, doesn’t she?”
“Oh, your desire to live is strong, isn’t it? Are you afraid that I’ll be jealous of Xue and get mad?”
“That’s impossible.” Smiling, Zhang Han carried Zi Yan in his arms and gave her a knowing look. “Don’t toy with me here. Wait after we go back to our room.”
Zi Yan was rather speechless.
