Chapter 192: Poseidon Attacks the Spirit Hall; The Truth About Zizhenzhu's Past
Looking at Zizhenzhu, who was within arm's reach, Jerry suddenly felt shy.
"Zizhenzhu, wasn't I just annoyed by you at the time? It was only later that I thought about Healing you!" Jerry said weakly.
"Oh! Is that so? A single 'old lady' and you were annoyed? Then your psychological endurance needs some training! Do you want big sister to help you?" Zizhenzhu stared at Jerry with eyes as seductive as silk.
"No, no!" After saying this, Jerry immediately pulled away from Zizhenzhu; if things continued like this, he was truly afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Hehehe!" Zizhenzhu sat directly on the sofa and laughed happily.
"Then what are your plans for the future? Are you still going back to the Spirit Hall?" Jerry asked after calming his mood.
"Back to the Spirit Hall? How many years has it been? How many people in the Spirit Hall still remember me? And in what capacity would I go back now? As a loser?" Speaking of this, Zizhenzhu suddenly felt a bit dejected.
"The events of that year weren't your fault! It was a wrong decision from the start. I think it was because of your status as a Saintess that you blocked someone's path, so someone sent you to attack Sea God Island just to get rid of you! Great Elder Qian Daoliu knows very well what the situation is on Sea God Island. Even he couldn't take Sea God Island himself, so sending you all was purely a suicide mission!" Jerry said.
"So you're saying someone was targeting me back then?" Hearing Jerry say this, Zizhenzhu suddenly became interested and asked directly.
In the past, she had never thought that anyone was targeting her.
"That's hard to investigate. The former Pope Qian Xunji is dead, and I can guarantee it wasn't the current Pope. As for who was targeting you, you need to think about it yourself: who did you offend at the time?" Jerry said.
"Then I'll think about it carefully later. Having just recovered my memories, I don't remember many things very clearly. But I have nowhere else to go now; you don't mind if big sister follows you for a while, do you?" After Zizhenzhu finished speaking, she stared at Jerry pitifully, with a look that suggested she would burst into tears immediately if Jerry didn't agree.
Jerry couldn't stand Zizhenzhu's gaze; this gaze could discharge electricity, could speak, and could tell stories.
Looking at it a few more times would be enough to have one's soul hooked away. An ordinary person really couldn't handle this; it was much more powerful than a charm skill, constantly radiating allure and hooking people's souls at every moment.
Jerry estimated that the person who targeted her back then must have been a woman; the probability of that was relatively high. She would have to blame herself for being too attractive; it made sense that she was targeted by other women.
"Alright then! But I still have to return to Wuhun City today. You've been at sea for all these years, so I imagine you're out of touch with society. I'll send you to the Spirit Hall Academy to learn for a bit first," Jerry said.
"Alright then! I also want to see how many people from back then are still around!" Zizhenzhu suddenly revealed a cunning smile. Someone in Wuhun City was about to be unlucky, but none of this was Jerry's business anymore.
Jerry brought Zizhenzhu back to the Spirit Hall, and upon returning, he took Zizhenzhu directly to the Great Elder's residence.
Along the way, Zizhenzhu acted like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, making a fuss about everything she saw.
"Great Elder, open the door! I know you're home! Open up!" Jerry stood outside the Great Elder's door and shouted.
Hearing Jerry's voice, the Great Elder came out instantly. Without a word, he went straight to Jerry's side. While Jerry was surprised by what the Great Elder was doing, Qian Daoliu reached out, grabbed Jerry's ear, and twisted it clockwise in one motion.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Great Elder, what are you doing? I haven't offended you! How did you learn to pull people's ears from my master? Let go!" Jerry shouted.
"Jerry! Take a good look at me!" the Great Elder shouted angrily.
At this moment, Jerry turned to look at the Great Elder. The Great Elder now had one eye beaten into a panda eye, his hair was a mess, his clothes had many tears, and he was holding a peeled egg in his other hand—it was clear he was still applying it to his eye. He had arrived at such a bad time!
"Great Elder, what happened to you? You're in such a sorry state. You should pay attention to your image; at least tidy up a bit when you come out!" Jerry said, suppressing his laughter.
"You little brat, how dare you say that? What did you say back then? That you would handle Sea God Island? That you would deal with Poseidon? Now she's even attacked my doorstep, beating me up every day in the name of 'sparring.' It's been days, once a day! If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to find you. It's all your fault! If you don't solve this for me, I'll come find you for a spar every day from now on. If I'm not having a good time, don't think you will either!" the Great Elder roared angrily.
"Great Elder, if she dares to come to the Spirit Hall, just bomb her with explosives. If she dares to run wild in the Spirit Hall, is she tired of living? Being so arrogant, even daring to hit the Great Elder. Great Elder, let go, I'll avenge you now. Watch me blow her to bits!" Jerry pretended to be angry; he just wanted the Great Elder to let go so he could escape.
"Boom, boom, boom—boom your head! She's living in Wuhun City right now. Do you want to blow up the Spirit Hall along with her?" After the Great Elder shouted, the hand pulling Jerry's ear twisted it again.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Great Elder, take it easy, take it easy. Poseidon must be afraid, that's why she came to Wuhun City. If she has the guts, let her fight me on the sea! I guarantee Sea God Island will be blown away! Let go, I'll go find her now and drag her to the sea for a battle!"
"I'll give you one day. If you don't solve it for me, I'm not done with you!" Qian Daoliu said this and released Jerry.
Jerry rubbed his ear, which had been turned red by the Great Elder, and looked at the Great Elder, saying: "Great Elder, if you ask me, it's actually good that she came to the Spirit Hall. Just take her down, and then you can marry her directly, which would also solve the pain of your unrequited love for so many years! Then you can conquer Sea God Island directly—killing two birds with one stone!"
"Jerry, are you asking for a beating? Killing two birds with one stone? Say 'killing two birds with one stone' one more time!" The Great Elder said, preparing to strike again.
Jerry dodged directly: "Great Elder, I'm just joking. Can't you even take a joke now? You're at such an age, yet you're still so irritable! You don't know how to preserve your health; you need to be calm and peaceful to live a long life."
"Jerry, try getting beaten up once a day! When you were plotting against Sea God Island, did you ever consider the possibility of Poseidon coming directly to the Spirit Hall?"
"I thought about it, how could I not have? No way! Great Elder, this is on land, you still can't beat her? No way! No way! This is your problem, Great Elder. I calculated that she would come, but isn't the Great Elder here? Just suppress her on land." Jerry said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You don't know a damn thing. Last time Poseidon fought you, she didn't even use thirty percent of her strength. Do you know what her most powerful ability is? Controlling water!"
"So what if she controls water? Wuhun City doesn't have that much water, does it?"
Qian Daoliu looked at Jerry with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"Is there no water in the air? Is there no water in your body?" Qian Daoliu retorted directly at Jerry.
"Damn, that woman Poseidon is that powerful?"
"Do you think a level 99 Limit Douluo is just an ordinary Douluo?" the Great Elder said disdainfully.
"If Poseidon is so powerful, then what about you, Great Elder, who is at the same level as her? What abilities do you have?" Jerry asked curiously.
"Get lost! I can't be bothered to talk to you! Go solve Poseidon for me!"
"I'll go later, I'll go later. By the way, Great Elder, I came here for a serious matter this time!" Jerry said seriously.
"What is it!"
"Great Elder, look at who this is."
Only then did the Great Elder look at the person Jerry had brought.
Zizhenzhu was already so shocked that she was incoherent. What kind of status did Jerry have? The Great Elder treated him this way—seemingly hitting and scolding him, but in reality, they only acted like that because their relationship was very good.
"You... are you Zizhenzhu?" the Great Elder asked suspiciously.
"Great Elder, I am Zizhenzhu. I've returned! I lost my memory in the past, and after Jerry found me, he cured me!" Zizhenzhu bowed to the Great Elder and then said.
"Amnesia? How did this happen?"
Subsequently, Jerry told the Great Elder about Zizhenzhu's story.
"I was in seclusion back then. When I came out, I heard that your attack on Sea God Island had failed and that you had gone missing. I sent people to look for you at the time, but they couldn't find you," Qian Daoliu said.
"Great Elder, this clearly shows that someone was targeting Zizhenzhu. Sea God Island—is that something an ordinary person can attack? Even without mentioning Poseidon, who is at the same level as you, there are ten Title Douluo. Zizhenzhu, a Soul Emperor in her sixties, leading a team to attack—it was purely a suicide mission!" Jerry said.
"Zizhenzhu, who gave the order at the time?" After hearing Jerry's explanation, Qian Daoliu also felt that there was indeed a problem.
"It was the Pope! I think it was Bibi Dong targeting me behind the scenes, and in the end, she became the Pope." Zizhenzhu said.
"No, it definitely wasn't Bibi Dong. There must be something we overlooked," Qian Daoliu said firmly.
"Why do you all think it wasn't Bibi Dong? As it stands, by eliminating me, she successfully became the Saintess and then the current Pope. No matter how you look at it, she benefited the most!" Zizhenzhu said. She had thought about it before; since she hadn't offended anyone, she could only look at who stepped down and who benefited the most.
"Since you say it was Qian Xunji who gave the order, I can roughly guess!" Jerry said.
"Who is it?" the Great Elder asked, looking at Jerry.
"Great Elder, do I need to be that explicit? Zizhenzhu should have been the first choice of Qian Xunji, but later, Bibi Dong, who had better talent, appeared. Then, I don't think I need to say anything more!" After Jerry finished speaking, the Great Elder understood instantly.
"What kind of riddle are you two playing at? Can you explain it clearly?" Zizhenzhu could not understand what they were talking about now.
"Zizhenzhu, I can only say that fate plays tricks on people. You should actually consider yourself lucky; the person who plotted against you is already gone, so you shouldn't ask any more questions. As for Bibi Dong, the Great Elder and I can guarantee that it was absolutely not Bibi Dong!" Jerry said solemnly.
"Just saying the person is gone, is there no Fruiting? I led an army of two hundred thousand back then! They were all gone, completely vanished in that battle!" When Zizhenzhu said this, she suddenly burst into loud sobs.
Jerry also knew why Zizhenzhu had lost her memory; it was a physical instinct, allowing her to forget that period of painful memories.
Before, Zizhenzhu had been suppressing herself, but until she returned to the Spirit Hall with him and saw the Great Elder, she finally could not suppress it anymore.
"Zizhenzhu, regardless of everything, Qian Xunji, who gave the order at the time, is already gone. Let the dead be forgotten! As for the two hundred thousand troops, I don't know if you count the hatred against Qian Xunji or against Sea God Island. If you count it against Qian Xunji, then this matter can only end here, but if you want to count it against Sea God Island, I will avenge you!" Jerry said seriously.
"Both! Since Qian Xunji is already gone, I can consider this matter over, but the hatred for Sea God Island cannot go unavenged! According to what you said, Sea God Island is so powerful that they could have just expelled us, but they chose to take action directly. Two hundred thousand troops, with no power to resist, were all annihilated in the sea. Now, every time I sleep, I think of the soldiers' cries for help at that time," Zizhenzhu said, gritting her teeth.
"Sigh! Jerry, let it be for now. You go arrange a place for Zizhenzhu to stay first!" Qian Daoliu said. In fact, his heart was also bitter now; it was all the evil his son had created.
"Alright, Great Elder. Later, I will arrange for someone to specifically explain the current changes to Zizhenzhu so that she can adapt more quickly. Let's go, Zizhenzhu!" After Jerry finished speaking, he took Zizhenzhu and left.
Jerry directly arranged a Floating Small Courtyard for Zizhenzhu, conveniently provided her with all the daily necessities, then processed her relevant Identity Card, and subsequently transferred one hundred million to Zizhenzhu, letting her study well during this period.
"Jerry, Sea God Island is so powerful, is there really any hope for revenge?" Zizhenzhu asked uncertainly.
"Zizhenzhu, our Spirit Hall is not weak either, okay! The number of Title Douluo is several times that of Sea God Island. It is just that the Great Elder, our top combat power, cannot suppress Poseidon; otherwise, Sea God Island would have been destroyed long ago. If we cannot take down Poseidon, destroying Sea God Island is meaningless. As long as Poseidon is still there, there will be another Sea God Island."
"Is Poseidon really that powerful?"
"Yes! But I am not afraid of her. If we really fight, she won't be able to take advantage. Last time we had a fight, and then Sea God Island was gone, though it has been rebuilt now! So she ran to the Spirit Hall this time, knowing that I wouldn't dare to use the weapon from last time here," Jerry said.
"So little brother Jerry is this powerful!" Zizhenzhu recovered her true nature at this moment.
"Zizhenzhu, can you speak properly? If you want to call me brother, just call me brother. What is with adding the word 'little'?" Jerry said excitedly.
"Hahaha, fine, you are not little, you are not little!" After Zizhenzhu finished speaking, she even glanced at Jerry.
Jerry was left feeling numb all over by her gaze. This woman was too skilled; he could not stay with her anymore. Every look and every movement could stir up other people's emotions; it was too terrifying.
"Rest by yourself! I'm leaving!" After Jerry finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Before leaving, Jerry still heard Zizhenzhu laughing "hehehe." This woman, sigh!
