Chapter 821 - Obsession and Intoxicated Feelings (2/2)
“BOOM…”
The small boat was hit by an artillery shell. Dorot, who was unable to detect it ahead of time, was instantly hit and he fainted in the flame of the explosion. His body was still intact, but his internal organs were shattered by the impact of the explosion. Unless there was a magical pill refined by a Perfected Golden Immortal, nothing could take him away from death.
“DOROT!”
The belle was full of sorrow. She didn’t have much of a sense of belonging to the Golden Shield Special Ability Bureau, but Dorot was different. He was the reason why she enlisted to join the bureau. It was not like a sentiment between a couple, rather it was comradeship from when they had gone through a lot together.
At this time, she was completely infuriated. Dorot, one of a handful of friends she trusted the most, was killed like this.
“DAMN CHINESE PEOPLE! I’LL MAKE YOU PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD SOONER OR LATER!”
The pretty woman furiously roared as she manipulated the water dragon to wrap her body. It took her away with speed faster than before.
Shoo! Shoo!
Two half-a-meter-long artillery shells completely locked onto the pretty woman mid-air. She cursed for a few seconds before the two shells bombarded her.
Inside the Subaquatic Corvette, Tang Xiu calmly watched the pretty woman being killed by the two shells. The coldness in his eyes gradually subsided as he turned to look at Tang Guosheng and said, “Grandpa, I still need to stay at sea for two days. You must have alarmed a lot of people since you took a lot of our family’s manpower to come here without telling anyone why. Also, we have killed the French and American ability users, so I’m sure the news of their death will reach the people of these two countries. You must take back our family’s men and leave here as quick as possible to return to our country.”
Tang Guosheng asked, “The fact that we killed these two countries’ ability users, should we disclose it, say, to those above…”
“No. It’s best not to tell them directly.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Duanmu Lin should be their spokesman. Just inform Duanmu Lin directly. I believe he will not only solve the following problems but will also erase all traces. He may even become very excited since… well, it’s a kind of a present we are giving to him!”
Tang Guosheng’s eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction. “You’re right. Let’s do it this way, then. Also, pay attention to your safety after we leave, got it? You must stay alive no matter what.”
“Don’t worry, grandpa!” Tang Xiu nodded. “I would never make any stupid mistakes.”
After a long while, Tang Xiu sent Tang Guosheng and Tang Min back to the liner. He then watched the two ships disappear into the distance and over the horizon. Then he turned to look at Gu Xiaoxue and said, “You know, I used to feel a sliver of a sense of belonging to a family in the past, and the one who gave me that feeling is only your Master. But now that I have more family members, it turns out that such a feeling is really great.”
An envious look flashed in Gu Xiaoxue’s eyes. She was an orphan. She didn’t know who her parents were, not even if they were dead or alive. However, she couldn’t care less about that, for who she cared about was her Master, Gu Yan’er. “Family” to her was limited to her Master and the core members of the Everlasting Feast Hall.
“The feeling of… kinship? A sense of belonging to a family?”
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxue’s expression slightly changed and she asked, “Grand Master, do you only regard Master as a family member?”
“Being a Master for a day is a father for life,” answered Tang Xiu with a smile. “If she’s not my family member, then who is?”
Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxue’s heart ached as the complex emotions inside her were in a frenzy. She didn’t know if it was because she felt sorry for her Master or if it was because of other reasons.
In the next two days, Tang Xiu took Cheng Xuemei and Gu Xiaoxue back to the previous barren island that they visited and he continued to train Cheng Xuemei. After a few days of training, Cheng Xuemei was finally able to control her own power, and she even learned an immortal cultivation technique from Tang Xiu.
Having tasted what cultivation, she was so fascinated that she even found herself addicted to it. Unfortunately, Tang Xiu didn’t have much time to delay and told her that the training time for her was up, much to her chagrin.
“Then what I should do next?” asked Cheng Xuemei, looking a bit worried.
“I know what you’re worried about. You’re still on a mission, after all, and the people in Japan probably think that you’ve died inside the vestige, so you’ll be questioned if you go back,” said Tang Xiu. “But you can rest assured about that. I’ll help you figure out a way to deal with it properly.”
“You mean… I can still return to Japan and continue my mission?” asked Cheng Xuemei, surprised.
“Of course, you can,” answered Tang Xiu with a smile. “I’ve told Kuwako to arrange things to cover you up. She’ll even help you in the future, so you naturally won’t have to ditch your mission like that.”
