However, after this trip to the Martial Saint's Monument, I realized a serious problem. No matter if my appearance in that era affected the situation after that, at least the Blood Moon Sovereign was still alive. This was something that could be confirmed.
After all, no matter if it was those big shots who failed miserably or if we worked together to defeat the Blood Moon Sovereign, we didn't pose a fatal threat to him. More importantly, there were no records of the Blood Moon Sovereign in the past hundreds of years. In other words, he should be in a deep slumber. As for where he was, it was hard to say.
Although I had been floating in the air, the Blood Moon Abyss was surrounded by a layer of blood mist. With my strength, I could only see a circle with a diameter of about a hundred meters. It was really limited.
Most importantly, I didn't think about observing the topography of the land as my attention was on the bridge. As a result, when the Martial Saint Tablet suddenly lost its energy support, I was caught off guard and returned to reality. I could only rely on my memory to search for clues.
Without a doubt, what I needed to do was to annihilate the Blood Moon King before he completely recovered. With the lessons learned from the mistakes of those elders, I had gained valuable experience.
Sigh, although it was like watching a Wuxia 3D movie, I could empathize with them, especially when Great Master Wu Xiang passed away without hesitation and gave me his most precious relic. His courage was really moving.
Not long after, I walked out of the secret room. Curator Du had just finished a phone call and revealed a kind smile.
"Xiao Zhuang, looking at you, you must have gotten a good harvest, right?"
"Hehe, not bad," I said with a cheeky smile.
Although he was curious, Curator Du didn't get to the bottom of it. He wanted to give me another trump card and now it seemed that his expectations had been met.
As for what kind of harvest I had, even if I didn't say it now, I would show it in the future. This way, he would be more expectant.
"Oh right, Commander-in-Chief Shangguan just called and asked when you are leaving …" Curator Du couldn't help but say.
"It should be today," I replied without thinking.
"Alright, alright, I will arrange a car for you later."
Curator Du's eyes brightened. At first, he was worried that I would indulge in love, but now he realized that he had underestimated me.
Although I wanted to spend more time with Liu Jie and the others, I had to focus on the bigger picture. There was still a long way to go. As the saying goes, if two people love each other for a long time, they wouldn't be together day and night.
The disappearance of the Blood Spirit Bead gave me a restless feeling, especially the Blood Moon Sovereign's words. If he got the Blood Spirit Bead, not to mention Hua Xia, I'm afraid the whole world would suffer!
Because of this, I have to seize every second to improve. Actually, after experiencing so many setbacks, I understand a principle. Only with absolute strength can I be invincible.
This includes supporting the border. On one hand, it is my duty. On the other hand, it can be considered a good experience. As a native martial artist of Nan Yun, it is naturally my duty.
Just like that, I arrived at the training room. Other than Sister-in-law and Liu Yuhan who usually had to work, Little Cherry and the others spent most of their time here. Of course, they didn't train diligently every day. They always liked to secretly play with their phones when Curator Du wasn't around.
I could understand this. They were youngsters after all. How many of them didn't like to play games? But then again, it was because of me. Ever since the Blood Demon caused a ruckus in Nan Yun, I couldn't wait to bring them to the martial arts academy. No matter what, it was safer here.
Up until now, they've been living in harmony, but they've been deprived of their freedom in disguise. At least before I returned, Liu Jie and the other two girls had never left the martial arts academy's perimeter. Sister-in-law and Liu Yuhan had to take the risk out of desperation because they had to work.
Although they were busy from day to night, they were able to live normal lives as they wished. As for Liu Jie and the others, they should be studying in school and living a carefree life. Now that they had become 'internet addicts', I wasn't too happy about it.
It's fine in the short term, but it won't be good for them in the long run. If possible, I hope they can go to school. That way, they can interact with people their age.
Of course, the prerequisite was that I had to eliminate all my enemies!
As expected, before I entered the training room, I heard their conversation.
"Wow, Wan Er, come quickly. There's a K98 here. Be careful, there seems to be someone 60 degrees away."
"Alright, let's play it safe. Two against one shouldn't be a problem."
"Aiya, he was killed by a grenade."
"This guy is really cunning. He's pissing me off."
I couldn't help but laugh. They were really cute.
Seeing me push open the door and enter, they were overjoyed. "Xiao Zhuang gege, we haven't eaten chicken for eighteen rounds in a row, hurry up and lead us."
"Just a little bit more …"
"Uh, okay, I'll play with you guys for a while."
I turned on entertainment mode and easily ate chicken. I was about to start another round, but Curator Du walked in and said that the car was already prepared and we could leave at any time.
Hearing this, they immediately frowned. I could only brace myself and explain. Curator Du tactfully avoided it, probably because he was afraid of being blamed.
From their eyes, I could see the strong reluctance, but they were all sensible girls and knew what was more important. "Xiao Zhuang gege, we'll wait for your triumphant return," Little Cherry pouted and said softly as she pulled my hand.
I couldn't help but hug her waist. The soft touch gave me a surge of excitement and motivation. Then, it was a French kiss that lasted for two minutes. It made her a little suffocated and her flushed face made me sure that that part of her was wet.
"Xiao Feng gege, it's not fair. I want it too!" Liu Jie said coquettishly to me.
