Chapter 814

~6 min read 1,136 words

Yunqi Dage let out a soft sigh: "Sure enough, it's gone cold again… Do you get the joke? 'Lang' and 'wolf' are homophones, making one unable to hold back laughter."

Yunli was stunned: "This person actually explained the joke!"

——

Genshin Impact.

Cyno, take off your helmet! I know it's you!

Kawei, who was drinking coffee, nearly choked to death—how come nobody around him tells dry jokes, and now someone's saying them in the sky canopy?

"What's wrong? I think this joke is pretty good." Cyno wondered why Kawei had such a big reaction; in his view, this Yunqi Dage's joke-telling ability was not inferior to his at all.

"Uh… maybe only you could find this joke funny." Tighnari held his forehead, feeling mentally wounded to no small degree: "I didn't expect someone like Cyno to also exist on the celestial vessel."

Cyno nodded satisfactorily at Tighnari: "This shows that humor, even placed in the whole universe, is an extremely rare quality."

"Unbelievable, you actually can classify your own joke as 'humorous'." Alhaitham turned the page of his book expressionlessly: "…This should be your best joke this year."

——

I heard that in this martial arts demonstration, a swordsman from the Zhu Ming celestial vessel will challenge the Yan Qing Xiao Wei. Who do you think will win if they fight? Can you give an ideal analysis?

Yunli and March 7 were chatting when a nearby bystander suddenly began a "rational" analysis.

Even though the person was still beside her, Yunli's ears had already pricked up.

"It must be the Yan Qing Xiao Wei who wins! His swordsmanship has reached perfection; I was fortunate to see his heroic figure subduing villains with a flying sword in the Star River Sea—just two or three moves…"

"Cough… cough cough!"

Yunli quickly cleared her throat and gave March 7 a glance.

March 7 understood instantly, immediately put on an admiring expression, and exclaimed loudly: "My goodness, isn't this Miss Yunli, the athlete from the Zhu Ming celestial vessel?!"

The chattering crowd that had just been going on and on suddenly lowered their voices, their survival instinct kicking in: "…Just two or three moves and they could be knocked down by the Zhu Ming swordsman!"

After the "knowing each other" segment ended, March 7 and Yunli went up to the upper deck of the Jingfeng warship. No spectators had entered yet; they walked out of the stairway, and the view ahead opened up.

This isn't a competitor's lounge; the arena is instead so empty it's a bit intimidating, and just the planetary advertisement sponsorships along the side are too many to count, while the cannon that fires the salute is astonishingly huge—March 7 leaned on the railing, excited beyond measure.

"Whoa——! This is what it feels like looking from the spectator stands…"

March 7, who had just told Yunli he wasn't nervous, looked at the empty arena and his heart inexplicably began to flutter: "Master Yunli, I—I seem to be getting nervous again! Can I really do this?"

"It's already too late to let you get nervous—the time is upon us!"

March 7 clutched his chest, his face turning pale: "Just thinking about the mission General Huaiyan entrusted to me makes my heart pound nonstop—Master Yunli, what should I do?"

"If your heart weren't beating, that would be the problem. Just feel the atmosphere and get ready."

——

The Legend of Luo Xiaohei.

Whoa——!!

Xiaohei pressed his whole face against the fast-food shop's glass window, staring dumbfounded at the enormous ship in the sky that almost covered the entire canopy. He still held half a fried chicken leg in his hand as he began gesturing wildly: "Senior! Did you see that? Those three… huge cannons! Thicker than the TV towers we've seen! No, thicker than several TV towers combined! And so huge!"

Xiaohei was so excited he couldn't speak coherently, pointing outside the window, as if the sky canopy were truly being covered by this giant ship, as if it were really hovering above the city.

Luoye sat opposite him, slowly dipping a fry into ketchup and stirring it: "These celestial vessel people's ships are really exaggerated—this cannon could probably wipe out some small countries on Earth. Having such weapons and still practicing swords—truly not forgetting their original aspiration."

"Senior." Xiaohei turned his head and sat back down in his chair: "You said before that human weapons—guns, cannons, missiles—can't hurt Master, right?"

Mm-hmm.

Luoye nodded—this is common sense.

"Well…" Xiaohei pointed at the three huge cannons on the sky canopy: "What about this? This super—invincible—so huge cannon! Can it hurt Master?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "super invincible big," as if that would boost the cannon's power.

"You ask me, who would I go ask?" Luoye glanced at him, smiling faintly: "Over the past few centuries, plenty have tried to kill him—humans and sprites alike; saying invincibility is unsurpassable is not an exaggeration, but if it's an 'enemy from the heavens'… then no one knows. But Xiaohei, just remember: Master's divine spirit is metal-aligned, and with the spatial-system devouring ability, that's enough."

Oh…

"But Xiaohei, there is an effective way to use weapons to kill Master, but the target cannot be him from the start—it must be… this." Luoye extended a finger and pointed down at the floor beneath his feet.

Hit the floor?

No, it's the Earth.

"The target is the Earth? What would happen?" Xiaohei asked softly.

Luoye looked at his clueless, slightly uneasy expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

It's simple enough—with that alien faction's technology capable of instantly annihilating several star systems… She leaned back in her chair, gazing out the window at the majestic Jingfeng warship in the sky: "All of us—me, you, Master, Jiu Lao, Nezha, even your favorite movie theater, milk tea shop, the trees in the mountains, the fish in the sea… will all go "bang" in an instant—"

She snapped her fingers crisply.

——all vanished.

I don't want that!

Xiaohei suddenly sprang to his feet, bracing himself on the table and shouting, instantly drawing countless curious gazes toward them.

All right, stop fantasizing—hurry up and eat; those fries get limp and cold and aren't tasty. She pushed the ketchup toward Xiaohei: "That sort of thing… is still far off for us."

——

Meanwhile, on the other side…

"Reporting, General: the troops are all in position, and the Astral Shipping Administration's control of the Star River lane is fully completed."

Feixiao nodded: "Get all the mechanical birds moving to scan everyone intending to enter or leave the port. Stay vigilant; if any suspicious movement occurs, suppress it in the shortest time possible to prevent the situation from spreading."

Yes!

Feixiao looked at the two behind him: "You two, follow me. Moze's signal is nearby—but just a moment ago, he cut off contact."
