Chapter 1054 - 1050: Success or Failure Hinges on This Moment!
After hesitating for quite a while, Lin Bingxuan finally spoke up, "Mom!"
Although her voice was very low, Xiao Nianqing still heard it clearly and immediately responded with a smile, "That’s more like it, keep calling me that and it’ll become second nature!"
Before Lin Bingxuan could reply, the little girl jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, incredulously saying, "Auntie? You just..."
She couldn’t continue her words, as if switching into rage mode, pacing back and forth in the same spot, mumbling indistinct words.
"Who’s talking?" Xiao Nianqing asked puzzled.
Lin Bingxuan had to put aside the interrupting Le Yaoyao for now and replied, "My niece is next to me."
"Niece?" Xiao Nianqing smiled broadly and said, "By seniority, she should call me grand-aunt, right?"
"Tell me, what would you like as a meeting gift? Grand-aunt will surely fulfill your wish!" The feigned ancient tone was aimed at the little girl.
Upon hearing Xiao Nianqing’s words, the little girl rolled her eyes, no longer fixated on the issue of seniority, and seriously asked, "Really, anything is possible?"
Xiao Nianqing, all-encompassing, said, "I might not be able to give you the stars or the moon, but as long as a person can make it, I can surely get it for you!"
The little girl giggled, about to joke: I want Uncle, can you give him to me?
But Lin Bingxuan interrupted her first, feeling a little embarrassed, and said into the phone, "Aunt, please don’t mind, kids are ignorant."
Le Yaoyao was so angry she was jumping, "I graduated from college and I’m still considered a kid? What kind of kid is as tall, cute, and beautiful as I am?"
...
Xiao Nianqing naturally didn’t take the little girl’s words to heart, but hearing Lin Bingxuan’s address, she pretended to be displeased with a gloomy face, "Why are you calling me Aunt again?"
Lin Bingxuan silently thought she made a mistake, not expecting Xiao Nianqing to be so particular about the address. But before she could speak, she heard Xiao Nianqing say again, "Alright, as long as you’re okay on your end, I’m relieved. But for safety’s sake, why don’t you move over here first?"
After pondering for a moment, Lin Bingxuan politely declined, "I have some things here that I can’t leave, and I now have a certain level of self-defense ability, you don’t have to worry about me!"
After thinking it over, Xiao Nianqing nodded in agreement, "If that’s the case, I won’t force you, but remember, if anything happens, call me immediately."
"Sure!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Lin Bingxuan wasted no time and immediately pulled out a number from her contacts list, preparing to inquire about Xiao Tian’s status.
The little girl also put away her playful demeanor and started looking for the phone numbers of classmates who had previously gone to study in Japan, doing her best to exert her strength!
Little did they know, the commotion caused by this video was like a chain reaction, impacting a number of people far beyond anyone’s imagination...
In no time, the Dark List forum, major power groups, and the hostile families of the Zhong Family began to leverage their networks, striving to obtain first-hand information as quickly as possible.
Even ordinary citizens began spreading the news by word of mouth, or posting online, flooding various forums and websites, becoming an unmatched focus for the time being!
...
"Did you know? The Hunter almost wiped out the entire Mizuno Clan single-handedly in Japan."
"Holy! Seriously, you’re not joking, right?"
"Who the hell is joking? Are you even living in the modern age? Just check any forum and you’ll know."
"Even if it’s true, why would the Hunter target the Mizuno Clan?"
"I heard it’s because a Mizuno Clan elder’s son was going to marry the royal family’s little princess, which enraged the Hunter. He drew his sword at the wedding, striking down the Mizuno Clan without leaving any reinforcements!"
"The royal family’s little princess has nothing to do with the Hunter! Isn’t this clearly snatching love by force?"
"Bullshit! If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense. I heard the royal family’s little princess also secretly admired the Hunter, and took poison to resist the wedding."
"You’ve been saying this whole time that you just heard it too, but if this news is true, then the Hunter will be my lifelong idol! A hero’s rage for a beauty, that’s just so damn manly!"
"You? More like a coward, as if you could ever compare to the Hunter."
"Holy, if you don’t believe me, we can try. I’ll tear your damn mouth apart!"
...
"The Hunter is really famous this time, I never thought he would dare face the Royal Family and Mizuno Clan alone. Just having this guts is something to admire!"
"That’s true, but looking at the video with corpses everywhere, I imagine even though the Hunter is incredibly strong, he must have hit rock bottom, right?"
"That’s hard to say, after all, the Hunter previously seized treasures twice on Kunlun Mountain, no one knows how much power he’s hiding."
"Maybe we should look into it. If the Hunter really gets killed, we might find one or two rare treasures on him?"
"Think before you speak, will you? If the Hunter really falls, would there still be treasures left for us to scavenge? They would have been taken already."
"Better safe than sorry, aren’t you interested in this matter?"
"Should we give it a try?"
"Hmm, I think we can try it!"
——
While Xiao Tian’s exploits were being adapted into various versions and appearing on major forums, and being discussed around the world, he himself remained oblivious, wholly focused on the bowl of medicinal soup in front of him...
It was already deep into the night. After the middle-aged man returned with his backpack, Xiao Tian immediately forced apart some space from the Shaking Light Disc, giving Miwa Ozawa the vibrant energy obtained from the Confucian Spring, to counteract the continuously agitating poison of the Heart-Breaking Fruit.
After completing these tasks, Xiao Tian still didn’t dare to rest, continuing to experiment with the antidote without the slightest relaxation, incessantly busy.
At this time, although the chill of the night was close to zero, he looked as if he were next to a furnace, sweat pouring from his pores, and his eyes bloodshot.
But his gaze remained fixed on the changes in the clay pot, showing an attitude of all or nothing!
Adison Claire couldn’t bear to watch any longer and brought a bowl of warm water to Xiao Tian’s side, hesitantly asking, "Are you... really okay?"
Xiao Tian, without taking his eyes off, casually accepted the water Adison Claire handed over, and drank it down swiftly, explaining, "I’m fine, whether it’s success or failure, it all depends on this time!"
With one sentence said, everyone’s heart around was in their throat, especially the middle-aged man, his expression appeared unprecedentedly flustered.
He really wanted to go up and tell Xiao Tian to find a way to save Miwa Ozawa.
But from the beginning, Xiao Tian’s performance was extremely serious, overdrawing his physical strength and energy for it, relying solely on sheer willpower to struggle through!
