Chapter 1288 - Everyone’s Will (1/2)

After spending some time with Christie and the rest, Rhode turned around and left. It seemed like the young ladies were elated that they got the chance to have fun today. Although Anne and Lesa kept hinting to Rhode that he could join them for more ‘fun’ activities, considering the fact that his younger sister and the innocent Christie and Bell were around, he wasn’t willing to educate his daughter in the wrong stuff.

After taking a stroll by Christie’s side, Rhode went to look for Mini Bubble Gum. Earlier, he stayed with his younger sister mainly to accompany her. Now that he was done with his younger sister and daughter, he naturally had to care for the rest since they were his supportive wings most of the time. Since his harem was so huge, it went without saying that the most capable people had to do the most work.

But what left him speechless was that those two clowns were still fishing!

Can those two even catch a fish while screaming and jumping by the shore?

“How’s the catch?”

Upon reaching the lake, Rhode swept a glance at the turquoise water before him and asked. But, in fact, he knew without asking that these two clowns didn’t catch a single fish. Although he sensed the presence of several huge fish in the lake… Not even the most foolish of fish would take their bait while they screamed like they were in a karaoke room.

“Hahaha, Leader, we caught none!”

“Yea, yea! Not even one!”

It was often said that people with similar personalities were either close friends or enemies. And now, these two Bubbles were apparently ‘joined at the hip’ like a single person. The fact that they were in a frenzy together made Rhode shake his head. And as a matter of fact, there was indeed not even one fish in their bucket. But the look of those two laughing as though they were cracking a joke left him utterly speechless.

“Why? I thought you two were having a contest?”

Rhode remembered clearly when the two Bubbles said to compete in a fishing contest and ridiculed each other for being worse than the other. Not only that, but they also grabbed their fishing rods and said to treat everyone to a feast of 100 braised, stewed, and fried fishes. But it didn’t take long for these two rascals to become drunk buddies in a karaoke room?

Upon hearing Rhode’s question, Bubble No. 2 giggled and said.

“That was what happened, Leader. We were going to settle our argument, but after some thought we changed our minds. Wasn’t this place crushed to smithereens by us? Think about it. There were corpses everywhere and the fish in the lake are so huge. Who knows whether they fed on the corpses? What if we discover human bones in the fish stomachs when we grill them? Can you imagine how disgusting it would be? So for the sake of everyone’s appetite, we decided to give it up!”

“…”

The corner of Rhode’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch.

What a surprise that these two rascals are actually so considerate for the rest. Well, this isn’t too bad, anyway. If they were to catch a huge bucket of fishes, cook them, and then discuss how many corpses the fishes fed on, perhaps everyone would really lose their appetites… Seems like they have learned to hold back a lot already.

“Where’s Little Icy?”

“She ran off as soon as we started discussing the problem.”

Earlier on, Icy Snow looked reluctant as she was dragged over by them to be the contest judge. No wonder Rhode didn’t see her around. But what surprised him was that she was, in fact, scared off by both of them. Frankly speaking, he suspected whether the two Bubbles had actually planned to disgust Icy Snow when they pulled her over in the first place. Judging by the lack of integrity in them, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

“So what exactly are both of you discussing?”

As the saying ‘one woman equaled 500 ducks’ went, there were actually 1000 ducks here with the two Bubbles around. Earlier on when Rhode came over, his head almost exploded just by hearing their squabbles.

They can’t have been discussing how many corpses the fishes fed on for so long… Although they are delusional, they shouldn’t be that insane, right?

“We are discussing the ensuing issues after heading back, Leader.”

It was the original Bubble who answered this time.

“Leader, didn’t you say to bring the Dragon Soul Continent to the solar system? We’re discussing whether we should head to Earth to have fun or teach them a lesson so they won’t look down upon us. Or maybe we can set up a secret organization on Earth like those guys in comics where they manipulated the world in secret. Isn’t that a nice touch?”

Upon hearing their gibberish, Rhode finally understood what was going through their heads. It seemed like they were considering how they should go about getting along with planet Earth after the Dragon Soul Continent was transported to the solar system. But due to their personality, they couldn’t come up with any good ideas. They would either dispatch troops to dominate Earth or establish a secret organization to manipulate the planet. Anyway, those were only bits and pieces that would come out of comics, books, and movies.

But…

So they do feel anxious too, huh?

Rhode couldn’t help but let out an inward sigh at the sight of the two excited young ladies. He had indeed neglected what others thought. As days went by, almost everyone felt nervous. It was just like counting down to the college entrance exam. Whenever one saw the ‘X Days Left Until The Exam’ on the board, one would more or less feel a sense of urgency. And now, the two Bubbles were as though discussing which university they would get into and lead a nice life before taking the college entrance exam. In fact, things hadn’t even begun to take shape yet.

After giving Rhode a brief idea of their intentions, the two Bubbles turned around and continued to sketch their ‘Earth Domination Program’, from how to build a base for a secret organization, their recruitment, how they would spread their beliefs, and how to control authority at the top… Rhode could only say that those two had watched too many animated films.

At that moment, Rhode also agreed with his younger sister that giving everyone a break was a decent choice. All this while, they were on edge. After all, one had never attempted to transmigrate their continent to another plane. Even his younger sister and the rest just transmigrated in their spirits and didn’t transmigrate alongside the entire continent. Even if the likelihood of success was calculated theoretically, no one knew what would happen until it succeeded. Maybe the entire continent would crumble or the transmigration would fail. No one could be sure of anything. Everyone did their best, but even so they were still unsure about the future. If Rhode didn’t let them take a breather, there was a good chance that they would collapse at the most critical juncture later on due to stress. When that happened, things would be even more dire.

It seemed like after Rhode headed back, he should also let the rest of his subordinates take a break. If not, it would be too late for him to regret it if they broke down during critical battles.

Looks like they are already discussing the off-topic issue of how they should lead the army against the United Nations Command. [1]
