Chapter 56: Chapter 48 My Harvest
"Haha! Dad is such a fool, he only just figured it out!" Mina twirled around excitedly in place, her beautiful tail shimmering with specks of light in the water.
"Ahem, Mina, tell your father, where’s your trident?"
The Sea Emperor asked, with a slight change in his facial expression, which Mina failed to notice.
"Someone stole it!" Mina said with a grin.
"Which rascal stole it? One from the Giant Crab tribe? Or was it a Tiger Shark tribe’s child?" The Emperor knew well the strength of his little daughter. Probably only kids from these two tribes could cause trouble for Mina. If that’s the case, it’s just child’s play; parents naturally don’t need to get involved.
"No, it was a human, I met him in a space!" Mina nonchalantly responded.
"What? A human?!" The Sea Emperor’s face instantly changed color.
"Yeah, a human. But he’s a very interesting human, so I just gave it to him."
Mina casually replied.
"You gave it to him?!!" Boris felt like he was going crazy. Since Mina was little, Boris had educated her about the importance of the trident to the Sea Royal family, and now, this little girl had actually given the Sea Emperor’s trident to a human! Do you even know what that means! Do you even comprehend the significance of a member of the Sea Emperor’s family giving their trident to someone else!
"Don’t worry, I certainly didn’t fall for that human, I just thought he was quite interesting. With him carrying my trident, I can easily locate him.
"Find him? For what?" The Sea Emperor suddenly picked up on the keyword in Mina’s words.
"Of course to go out and play... erm, go on an adventure! Dad, haven’t you always told stories of your young days, about how you disguised as a human, went into the human world, and utterly enchanted human girls?"
Mina was wearing a strange smile, mimicking Boris’s way of speaking.
"When did I tell you such things?"
"Of course, you didn’t tell me, but you did tell mom and I just happened to overhear!" Mina chuckled, then continued: "Dad, this is for the future of the Sea Emperor family. In recent years, humans have been progressing at a rapid pace. Perhaps soon they will be able to enter the ocean. You don’t want our seawater being polluted by filthy humans, do you? As your daughter, I intend to prevent this. Even though I am a royal, I am willing to risk danger and enter the human world alone to understand their every move. I will not stop until I achieve my goal!"
Boris looked at Mina, listening to words that do not belong to someone her age. He sighed lightly: "What else did your mother teach you?"
"Hehe, Dad, you knew about it?" Mina bashfully looked at Boris, whirled around, dodging behind him, and started gently massaging Boris’s shoulders with her little hands.
"Dad, please agree — please agree — please agree —"
With each word she uttered, she squeezed once.
This little girl, as difficult to handle as her mother!
"Alright, alright, there’s no need to pretend to be sweet, if you want to go, then go. I’ll arrange it for you. But remember, that trident must be recovered!"
"Thank you, dad! You’re the best!"
Mina turned excitedly, reaching out to hug Boris around the neck, then kissed his cheek with a pop, before scurrying off like a speeding bullet.
Boris sighed with a bitter smile, thinking: "I can only hope that the human doesn’t understand the significance behind the gift of the trident, otherwise, I’ll truly have a headache."
Having received the aircraft engine, Long Yi immediately pushed all other matters aside and began to focus on the restoration work. He still didn’t know how many aircraft parts fell into the sea – even if he did know, he wouldn’t be able to salvage them. However, the little mermaid from the Sea Emperor family appears very amicable. If he negotiates and hires her to collect the parts, there might be a pleasant surprise!
After three days of research, and disassembling all that could be disassembled out of the engine. But Long Yi didn’t dare to dismantle things like the fan blades. Besides factory professionals, outsiders wouldn’t even know how to begin. Each fan blade has a standard position, and the positions for the four cooling holes on it are very precise. Long Yi regretfully found some damage on the fan blades. Turbojet engines being high-precision equipment, the dwarven blacksmiths would be out of their depth. If he wanted to repair it, he’d need the help of elves.
Alright, even if they were elves, Long Yi didn’t believe that they could repair it.
Long Yi had a headache.
Speaking of elves, Long Yi thought of his Dragon Language teacher. That elf who made him feel uncomfortable was getting more and more handsy during classes, as if she would only feel comfortable glued to Long Yi.
A beautiful woman by his side, although it looked impressive on the surface, but for this difficult species to communicate with, who knew what her true intentions were.
Just like how a cat would like to play with a mouse before eating it.
Recently, the Fairy Dragon didn’t make any noise. After drinking Long Yi’s blood twice, she just fell asleep on Bajie’s head, barely moving at all. However, it seemed like her body had grown a little.
After researching for three days, some minor damages could be repaired, but turbofan blades were too precise, and Long Yi was at a loss. These three days had consumed a lot of effort and had left Long Yi a bit irritable.
He needed to vent.
For some reason, Anonymous suddenly disappeared these days. Many people came to the Dragon God Space specifically to see what this Anonymous was up to, but they all came up empty-handed. People suspected whether Anonymous had earned enough credits and decided not to show up again?
But most people didn’t believe it. How could a person like this just fall silent?
In a certain space, the three jesters were still sitting together, idly viewing their bracelets. The normally impetuous one-star clown was the calmest, staring at each line as if worried of missing a thing.
"Today, he might not show up again." The melancholy female voice of the Two-Star jester sounded.
"Doesn’t matter, I have time." One-Star responded.
"Did you find a way to deal with him?" Two-Star asked.
"No." One-Star replied, "Because, he’s not even my opponent. The first time, I underestimated him, and he took me by surprise, filling my heart with hate and madness. But now, I have changed completely, I’m no longer the same. I will seek revenge, I will make him return everything he took from me twice over!"
Two-Star looked at One-Star, and silently nodded. While she didn’t know the One-Star in reality, she could feel this One-Star was truly a different person. If the previous One-Star was a rabid dog, then he is now a quiet lone wolf.
Although silent, it’s more deadly.
"He’s here!"
One-Star’s eyes sharply contracted. Anonymous! Seventy-six victories, no losses! One hundred credits!
It’s him!
He’s here!
He’s here!
News instantly spread throughout the Dragon God Space. That mysterious Anonymous with seventy-six consecutive victories has once again appeared!
Watch the battle!
Watch the battle!
Countless requests for watching the battle came in, Long Yi directly changed the battlefield into an open type. Immediately, the entire desolate battlefield transformed into an open arena, surrounded by stands as observatories.
Wait, you can set an admission fee for watching the battle?
Long Yi smiled slyly, directly setting the watching fee at twenty credit points. Joking aside, you guys are watching me fighting, enjoying the thrill, isn’t it fair that you pay a little?
When the spectators saw that the private fighting field had been opened to the public, they cheered—this kid was playing along nicely.
But they didn’t anticipate that on entering, there would suddenly be a twenty-credit point fee!
Instantly, complaints filled the Dragon God space.
Bastard! It’s a privilege for us to watch you fight, and you even want credit points from us?
Damn Anonymous! Dare you reveal your real name? I’ll hunt you down at your academy!
Up on the spectator stand, there were restless voices. However, down below, nothing could be heard. This was a fair fighting space; any external noise was blocked. Long Yi only saw the excited crowd cheering fervently for both sides.
No, Long Yi was mistaken. What he got was cursing. Nearly all the spectators were cheering for the One-Star Clown.
"Anonymous..." One-Star looked at Long Yi, entirely black, even without any facial features. Yet, for some reason, One-Star could feel an icy cold stare from him.
A sense of nervous tension.
How long has it been since I last felt this nervous? What a nostalgic feeling!
The One-Star Clown suddenly broke into a grin, chuckling.
"Anonymous! I’m One-Star, do you remember me?"
One-Star asked.
"Of course, who wouldn’t remember the kind soul who gave me a lot of credit points when I needed them the most."
Long Yi laughed.
"Today, I will make you return my credit points --double the amount!"
Speaking, the Clown suddenly vanished into thin air.
Suddenly, a sharp laugh echoed, the air beside Long Yi was sliced open by a sharp blade, targeting directly at Long Yi’s neck!
Hiss—
Long Yi spun around, and he fiercely launched a kick but hit nothing. However, he got a small cut on his neck from the blade cutting through the air.
And One-Star slowly resurfaced.
"Good dodge, but you won’t be so lucky next time," One-Star said and vanished again.
Long Yi cautiously watched in front of him. Suddenly, feeling chills on his back, he lunged forward. But it was too late, a sharp pain shot from his back, he had been hit!
One-Star reappeared, his cold voice rang out, "I told you, you wouldn’t be so lucky next time."
"Really?"
Long Yi laughed.
"Your next hit will be your end!"
One-Star disappeared again, and Long Yi slowly lowered his center of gravity, taking a sudden step forward,
Dragon Roar Fist!
His single hand transformed into a dragon’s head. With its mouth wide open, the dragon bit down fiercely!
The air twisted, the One-Star Clown’s figure was abruptly revealed, his five fingers that were held together were completely grasped by Long Yi!
"I don’t think so."
Long Yi continued to laugh.
"Dragon Roar Fist with one hand!"
The clown in front of Long Yi looked panicked. The Dragon Roar Fist was a basic technique for any warrior to master, but it always relied on both hands, symbolizing the upper and lower jaws of the dragon. This time, Long Yi used one hand to launch his attack. It was faster and the power wasn’t any lesser!
Long Yi had too many credit points, so he spent three thousand points to upgrade to the second layer of the Dragon Roar Fist, learning it in half a minute.
Long Yi loved the Dragon Roar Fist too much. It was one of the few close-quarter combat techniques among all the fighting aura skills. However, in his freshmen year, he could only exchange for the second level. He didn’t know how many more levels there were to this Dragon Roar Fist.
The clown’s face first registered panic, but he suddenly started laughing.
"You’ve fallen into my trap!"
Behind Long Yi, an identical One-Star surfaced. His hands resembling the sharp blades, aimed straight at Long Yi’s neck to behead him!
"I don’t believe it."
Long Yi sneered, giving a fierce grip, a crack was heard, the hand of the clown in his grip was entirely crushed!
"Ah!"
A scream echoed, and the clown behind Long Yi disappeared instantly.
"How did you discover it?"
One-Star asked in disbelief. His biggest move was the clown avatar behind him, possessing half his strength. No matter where you looked at it from, it was foolproof. He didn’t believe that anyone could tell real from fake in such a short time.
"Did you forget? Your hand had my bloodstains."
One-Star paused, then bitterly laughed, "I thought I was perfect, but I still got defeated by this..."
Crack!
Before he could finish, Long Yi’s fist landed on his face. If he was a cute and beautiful girl, she could keep talking as long as she wanted. But this vulgar clown was too disgusting, he didn’t feel like listening to his ramblings.
Victory in battle, simple without any fanciness.
