Chapter 948 (2/2)

“Shut it, I’m just a huckster but Vivian was worshipped as a god on Earth before. Our work experience alone is heaven and earth.” Hao Ren pouted. While he had reacted a tad bit slower than Vivian this time around, he had caught up with her train of thought. Giving Lily a push to the front, he whispered. “Flamejoy”

Lily was confused for a moment before summoning her flameclaw by reflex. Hao Ren grabbed her hand and raised it into the air, while Vivian too had adjusted the chillwind accordingly.

The crowd went into a furore again. “A Fire Witch? There’s a Fire Witch?!”

“The fate of this world shall be decided by them.” Hao Ren said with an omnious voice as his face stiffened, and that left the ignorant and superstitious nobles and soldiers no space to think. He then turned around and headed into the central control station.

As Vivian and Lily turned around, the fearful, confused, and agitated nobles and soldiers suddenly calmed down, and no one knew who started it, but one by one they started postrating themselves with fervent piety.

A bald man in a flowery patched-toegether robe suddenly raised his hand and shouted, as if receiving some sort of epiphany. “The Arbiters of Ice and Fire! These people bears the will of the gods. The ultimate fate of this world shall be known soon!”

Soldiers upon soldiers immediately went to their knees. “”The Arbiters of Ice and Fire! “The Arbiters of Ice and Fire!”

Nangong Wuyue was at the back due to her size, and as she heard the chorus of worship, the siren was stunned. Turning back, she summoned a small ice block on her palm, before shuffling her tail sheepishly. “I’m also pretty powerful. Look, I too can summon ice…”

The crowd broke into another round of furore before starting to knee and pray even more fervently. The nobles and scholars started hailing her at the top of their voice. “The Long Ice Witch! The Long Ice Witch!”

There was no snakes in this world, so everyone thought that she was a elongated Ice Witch.

“….”

The siren held slipped into the control station, her face almost green. She then slammed the metal gate with a powerful swipe of her tail. The noise from outside was totally cut off by the thick metal gate. Hao Ren caught a look at Wuyue’s expression and decided that he should not be using the word ‘long’ for the week.

“Shouldn’t we do this from the start?” Lily was still a little bit excited as she swung her Flame-effing-joy about. Having being the centre of attention had the husky very very thrilled.

“Never thought of that at first, and it wasn’t for the situation I won’t have that eureka moment.” Vivian pursed her lips and looked rather worried. “Hao Ren, you think we can hold them back?”

“The smart ones in the royal city may recover,” Hao Ren shrugged. “But that’s alright, didn’t you see those people outside totally stunned out of their minds?”

Lily and Vivian nodded in unison.

“Then that’s fine. There won’t be any more trouble for the time being and we have also past the radiation threshold zone, so no one else will be able to disturb us.” Hao Ren said as he walked ahead. “Let me see… If I’m not wrong, the control room should be over here.. Lets go have a look.”
