Chapter 24 Xiao Xiao and Dong'er in a Standoff
Chapter 24 Xiao Xiao and Dong'er in a Standoff
Electrolux's tone carried a hint of amusement:
"Moreover, even if I don't intervene, you can still escape to a safe distance before the explosion."
"Everything will be alright, won't it?"
Jiang Ci'an did not refute, but still insisted earnestly: "In any case, I have to thank my senior."
Electrolux shook his head slightly, his smile deepening.
"You don't need to test me like this."
He looked at Jiang Ci'an, his eyes deep and his gaze confirming:
"Young friend...you recognize me, don't you?"
"..."
Jiang Ci'an remained silent for a moment.
So... we've been exposed?
Is it no wonder that Electrolux single-handedly overturned the entire golden age of the Throne of Seals world?
He sighed softly to himself, neither denying it nor giving a nod.
"Yes."
It was concise and to the point, without any further explanation.
Electrolux nodded slightly, as if he had expected this answer, and then asked:
"Is the stimulation of the metal element in living beings by high temperatures, thereby stimulating their life energy, also a way to bring me into existence?"
"That's right."
Jiang Ci'an remained as decisive and efficient as ever.
Electrolux looked at him with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"It must have been difficult for you."
Putting aside the fact that he didn't sense any malice from the boy, the fact that the boy dared to act in this way despite knowing the value of the Gold of Life was enough to earn his respect.
As for getting to know him, it's not a big deal. After all, after his death, his complete soul was scattered into thousands of fragmented souls. Perhaps this child encountered one of them and learned some things about him.
There's no need to delve into that.
in addition...
Electrolux pondered for a moment.
He sensed a deep-seated hatred within the child that was somewhat familiar to him.
Not intense, not flamboyant, yet truly present, just like he always was.
Now that he had encountered the child, he felt he had to guide him properly to prevent the child from going to extremes.
Electrolux slowly raised his hand, and the ball of life-gold sealed by golden chains floated to Jiang Ci'an's front.
At this moment, the living gold still roughly retains the shape of a carving knife, with slightly softened edges and some surface deformation, all traces left by high-temperature firing.
But the inner life force remained strong, and emerald green light shone through the gaps in the golden chains, carrying a warm and calming feeling.
Electrolux looked at the Life Gold in his palm and spoke slowly.
"The gold of life is essentially a solid and purified form of life force, and its quality is extremely high, as you probably already know."
"Although the life energy that is released after being stimulated by high temperature seems to be a lot, in reality, the life energy released is only a drop in the ocean of this piece of living gold, and the quality of the released energy is not very high."
"Although I absorbed this part of the life energy and temporarily stabilized the remnant soul, this amount of energy is not enough to completely stabilize this remnant soul."
"Therefore, I intend to use this piece of living gold to open your Eye of Life, after which I will reside within it. What do you think?"
Jiang Ci'an did not hesitate at all.
"Can."
Electrolux nodded slightly and asked, "Then let's not delay and begin now?"
Jiang Ci'an was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something and paused.
"Could we wait a bit before starting?"
Electrolux looked at Jiang Ci'an questioningly.
"I'll go home first, so my family won't worry," Jiang Ci'an explained.
He always has contingency plans in place, including how to handle the aftermath should something happen to him.
Although I'm actually fine right now and don't need those plans, I still need to go back as soon as possible to avoid my childhood sweetheart worrying too much, which would be troublesome...
Electrolux looked at Jiang Ci'an for a moment, a hint of surprise in his eyes, then nodded, his tone carrying a touch of approval:
"Can."
……
A moment later, in the backyard of Ping An Pharmacy in Shrek City.
In Jiang Ci'an's room, the air suddenly distorted slightly, and a gray door appeared out of thin air, opening silently to reveal the deep darkness within.
The next moment, Jiang Ci'an emerged from the darkness.
He looked around his room, then turned to watch the door behind him slowly close, turning into specks of gray light and dissipating into the air.
Jiang Ci'an withdrew his gaze, a slight sigh escaping his lips.
Spatial-related capabilities are really useful.
Using the undead demiplane as a transit point, he directly opened a door leading to his room. Thus, the distance that would have taken him an hour by carriage now only took a few seconds.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived.
He really wanted to learn such a convenient ability.
Hmm... when he needs to acquire the third or fourth ring, he could try hunting a soul beast with spatial attributes.
As for how his "World Modification Mode" martial soul will modify this space-attribute soul ring...
This is something to look forward to.
Jiang Ci'an collected his thoughts, pushed open the door, and went out to see where Xiao Xiao was.
Then, he paused.
On the spacious training field, two small figures were facing off.
No, calling it a standoff might not be accurate.
Xiao Xiao stood on the ground, holding one of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons in one hand beside her. Above her head, two more Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldrons floated, their bodies radiating a faint black soul power light. At first glance, they appeared powerful and heavy.
Her other hand was pointing to the sky, her face was tense, her emerald green eyes were full of defiance, and her voice was clear and loud.
"Come down here if you dare!"
In mid-air, a pair of dazzling butterfly wings unfolded behind Wang Dong'er, with golden patterns flowing on the wings and reflecting a rainbow of colors.
She hovered in mid-air, her wings fluttering gently, looking down warily at Xiao Xiao below, responding just as defiantly.
"Come up here if you dare!"
"Get down!"
"Come up here!"
"..."
The two continued their back-and-forth, neither willing to back down.
Jiang Ci'an watched this scene in silence for a long while.
He closed the door.
He paused for a moment, looked at the mahogany door in front of him, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open again.
On the training field, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er were still locked in a standoff.
"Get down!"
"Come up here!"
Jiang Ci'an's brow twitched slightly, and he fell into a deep silence.
Was I really hallucinating because I was roasted by the solar furnace? How could I see my Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er fighting?
The scene was so intense that Jiang Ci'an was momentarily dazed.
In the distance, Xiao Xiao, who was facing off against Wang Dong'er with her cheeks puffed out and head tilted back, caught a glimpse of a figure standing at the doorway in the distance.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up instantly. She threw the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron aside, and the resentment on her face vanished, replaced by a look of surprise.
"Goodbye!"
The crisp sound brought Jiang Ci'an back to his senses.
Seeing the smile on Xiao Xiao's face, Jiang Ci'an also smiled, though with a hint of inexplicable helplessness.
Ok.
It's confirmed, it's not a hallucination.
