Chapter 468 - 365: Yi Ya Yi Ya
Of course, Wen Ying, Uncle Zhang, and Aunt Zhang knew nothing of these events.
They watched with their own eyes as Wen Ying used incense to light the massive paper warship, then saw it slowly burn to ashes.
It burned rather slowly, as if some protective force clung to the otherwise ordinary paper.
It burned rather slowly.
Her complexion visibly changed, but after she popped something into her mouth, her expression returned to normal.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, who were kneeling to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, in the world below, the warship descended, a divine blessing for Zhang Shuai.
A deafening RUMBLE echoed through most of the world, annihilating all the enemy forces that had taken the opportunity to attack.
Nearly half of them surrendered.
All the soldiers knelt below. Gazing up at Zhang Shuai and His Highness Chaochao on the warship, they roared, "May heaven bless Zhang Shuai! May heaven bless Your Highness!"
Wisps of fortune, invisible to the naked eye, descended from some unknown corner of the heavens and settled upon Mr. Zhang.
A portion of it also settled into Chaochao’s body.
Faint traces were even absorbed by the soldiers under Zhang Shuai’s command.
Chaochao felt his body grow substantially more solid. His once frail and weak soul body was now half-materialized.
To materialize meant to grow flesh and blood.
This was the blessing of the Heavenly Dao.
Morale soared.
The sacrificial ritual proceeded smoothly, now with even greater pomp and circumstance.
After the ritual concluded, Zhang Shuai dispatched troops to conquer the northwestern region.

After finishing up with Uncle Zhang’s family, Wen Ying planned to take Little White and Kong Jian back to town.
But before she could leave, the person from the phone call tracked her down.
An arrogant and disdainful middle-aged woman stood beside a priceless luxury car, clad in fur and teetering on a pair of sky-high stilettos.
You had to admit, she had some resources, or perhaps her family had connections.
The woman glanced disdainfully at Little White and Kong Jian. "So these are the children that woman brought? I don’t know where these little bastards came from. Bringing two of them, no less. Don’t tell me she had them from some secret affair?"
As she spoke, she shot a dissatisfied look to the side. "You two, go bring those little bastards to me!"
Little White and Kong Jian were playing on a seesaw in the neighborhood park when two tall, burly men appeared before them.
"You’re blocking me!"
"Want to play? Fat chance!"
But the men didn’t reply. They simply reached out and hoisted Little White and Kong Jian into the air.
Little White was furious.
Kong Jian’s expression was calm, but seeing Da Guo was displeased, he grew displeased as well. "Let go of me."
"You little brats have no manners! No wonder the madam called you bastards!"
At these words, Kong Jian’s eyes darkened.
Little White, however, couldn’t hold back. She lashed out, striking the arm of the man holding her.
CRACK.
Cold sweat poured down the man’s face.
’This little bastard... she’s surprisingly strong!’
Wriggling free, Little White stared at him coldly. "Little bastards? Slut-spawn? Sounds like you’re talking about yourselves and that madam of yours, doesn’t it?"
"You little bastard, how dare you—"
Before he could finish—SMACK! A resounding slap landed squarely on his face.
The man’s face instantly swelled.
Little White dusted off her hands. "So filthy!"
Seeing Little White take action, Kong Jian kicked out, sending the man holding him flying.
One lay crumpled on the ground. The other’s face was swollen like a giant steamed bun, his hand clearly broken.
The middle-aged woman grew impatient that her men were taking so long to bring her the two little brats.
She strode over in her high heels, her other men in tow.
"Useless! You can’t even handle two little brats!"
The woman was furious to see the miserable state of her two underlings.
’How can the people I pay be such a bunch of losers!’
"Useless fools! Once this is over, go get your punishment! The rest of you, seize those two little brats for me! Use any means necessary!"
The woman was practically boiling with rage.
’She’d already disliked that Wen Ying, but to be humiliated by the little brats that bitch brought back!’
However, reality was cruel.
The scene the woman imagined never came to pass. Before the little girl even had to lift a finger, the little bald boy had already taken care of everyone she’d brought.
Kong Jian stood calmly beside Little White. "Da Guo, should I hit this old woman?"
The woman flew into a rage.
"Old woman? You ill-mannered bastard!"
Little White’s hand shot out. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Three consecutive slaps landed square on the woman’s face.
