Chapter 834 - 259:
Seeing the Blue Silver Grass did indeed pique his interest, but in the end he still didn’t throw her away—mostly on account of the faint emotions Bai Hu had shown.
In this world, as long as you have emotions, you have a future; what’s left is just figuring out how to draw them out.
"You don’t need to read during this stretch."
Looking at this most school-averse student in history, he put down his phone and let out a light breath.
As if relieved of a great burden, Jiang Si couldn’t help giving a cold snort.
There were actually people in this world who found reading webnovels this torturous—simply incomprehensible.
As he led Bai Hu toward the Catastrophe People Realm, he said, "Use your Blue Silver Grass."
Bai Hu stretched out her hand, and Blue Silver Grass began growing wildly in the spatial turbulence.
Compared to before, it was even more lush, and even tougher.
Bai Hu’s footsteps even paused; she stared at the Blue Silver Grass swaying in the spatial stream like seaweed, her expression a bit puzzled.
She’d only been reading novels, yet the power of her Blue Silver Grass had already increased this much...
Setting aside usage for the moment, she really had learned a lot from webnovels, but how had her basic Magic Power increased this much too?
These webnovels really do teach techniques...
Jiang Si didn’t care, instead knitting his brows slightly.
This one’s emotions were stable as hell.
Bai Hu’s Blue Silver Grass was, at its core, still a Disaster Beast, which meant negative emotions could strengthen it and boost its power.
Just now, he’d basically told her that she was almost the one who killed her own mother.
And this was all the negative emotion that produced.
With a temperament like that, he couldn’t help thinking of a certain character from the fanfics he used to read.
The second brat whose whole family got slaughtered and who rage-unlocked a single tomoe.
Obviously a perfect seedling for walking the Path of Emotionlessness, yet he just had to be saddled with a cheat that only worked when he was brimming with feelings...
By the time the two of them came down from the spatial realm, the Catastrophe People Realm had already returned to normal.
And not just the sky.
Every building in the city, including the vehicles, had reverted to their original state, as if the massive battle just now had been nothing but an illusion.
When they landed, they immediately saw two familiar faces waiting below.
Ruo Yun, twin guns in hand, was watching the boy opposite her with slightly nervous eyes.
As he came down, Hyacinth beside her leaned over and whispered:
"The one who can transform into a Catastrophe Dragon and the Golden Disaster Dragon King—that’s the Witch Association’s legendary Si Motu, you know."
Then she paused, added in a lower voice:
"Si. Mo. Tu, you know..."
"I don’t need you to stress it." Ruo Yun snorted, "So he’s a legendary figure of the Witch Association, big deal. We Holy Hall People have nothing to fear in this world!"
"But you seem to be shaking just a tiny bit."
"I’m just excited." Ruo Yun glanced at Hyacinth and found that this senior really wasn’t nervous at all.
On the contrary, she looked utterly at ease, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
She really wasn’t worried about the mission failing in the slightest.
"By the way, don’t you think Si Motu looks just a tiny bit like our Lord Holy Hall Walker...?"
"Bullshit!"
Ruo Yun shot it down on the spot. "How could Lord Holy Hall Walker possibly lose to Zi Yuan!"
"That’s an insult to Lord Holy Hall Walker’s million-year training record. I demand you apologize immediately!"
"Sorry, sorry, okay?"
Hyacinth didn’t get mad; she just chuckled and apologized, then said, "But we still need to be careful, you know. Si Motu is really strong—you saw it just now. The two of us might not win..."
"He dares make a move?" Ruo Yun snorted. "Isn’t he afraid of our Lord Holy Hall Walker?"
"True enough." Hyacinth bit her thumbnail like a little hamster. "He’s definitely scared."
When Jiang Si came down, he saw Ruo Yun puffed up with bravado, baring her teeth like she was trying to intimidate him. "The Holy Hall is currently carrying out a mission in the Catastrophe People Realm. If you have no other business, please do not interfere!"
Hyacinth beside her cheerfully added, "No presence at all, that won’t scare him, Captain Ruo Yun. Be fiercer, more vicious! Let him witness the might of our Holy Hall!"
"I don’t need you teaching me!"
Ruo Yun looked at the boy, then at the girl behind him, and said in a low voice, "If you don’t want to be enemies of the Holy Hall, leave. The Catastrophe People Realm is under Holy Hall protection. We won’t allow members of the Witch Association to run wild here!"
Hyacinth clapped at her side with a face full of admiration. "Captain, are we fighting?"
Ruo Yun glared at her hard. Fight what? The two of them weren’t even his match; fight how? Brandishing the name of Lord Holy Hall Walker as a bluff was one thing, but if it really came to blows, Lord Holy Hall Walker wasn’t even here.
There’s no way they could protect themselves... what was she thinking? Is she stupid?
The other side was just watching her with amused interest, not the slightest indication he intended to give way.
Ruo Yun gritted her teeth, took a step forward, and glared viciously at this overwhelmingly powerful boy, planning to push things a bit harder.
After all, Lord Holy Hall Walker’s instructions to them had been to find the Old World member who’d stolen the Full Bloom Technique, then protect this group in the Catastrophe People Realm until Lord Holy Hall Walker arrived.
If the Witch Association got involved, who knew how things would turn out; at the very least, Lord Holy Hall Walker’s mission definitely wouldn’t be completed.
"You..."
Just as she was about to say more, her gaze swept over the ring on Si Motu’s finger.
"Leave this..."
The Disaster Beast Transformation-use...
Ring?
The words she’d been about to say stuck in her throat.
The girl’s whole system seemed to crash; she just stared fixedly at that ring.
A ring that allowed a human who’d undergone Disaster Beast Transformation modifications to safely transform into a Disaster Beast and wield its power.
𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Helen had only made two or three of them; the materials and craftsmanship were a huge hassle, and without a stable outlet to sell them, she had no plans to mass-produce.
In the whole world, the only person currently wearing one was...
Hyacinth watched Ruo Yun’s pupils quake and her smile grew a shade richer.
Yup, that’s exactly the reaction she wanted.
Or rather, it could only be this reaction.
This ring was irrefutable evidence, the name Jiang Motu, the name Si Motu.
As long as you’d at least made it through middle school as a Magical Girl, you could definitely put two and two together.
Hee...
Nice expression—but still not enough.
What are you thinking right now, Ruo Yun-chan?
What a shame, just a little more, just a little more and she could leak Zi Yuan’s identity too.
So anxious, so anxious, so anxious...
"That’s right, you see it, don’t you, Captain Ruo Yun? He..."
"Actually dared to steal Lord Holy Hall Walker’s ring! How many moms do you have!!"
Ruo Yun shouted without hesitation, "You’re courting death!"
The entire city fell silent; Hyacinth’s smile gradually froze.
Then she raised a hand to her forehead.
Jiang Si’s mouth twitched as well.
In the end, he pulled out the mask and put it on.
"He even stole the mask to disguise himself..."
Hyacinth rapped her idiot junior on the head with a fist, helpless now. "It’s Lord Holy Hall Walker!"
Ruo Yun lowered her head and stayed silent for a long time before muttering, "Impossible... How could Lord Holy Hall Walker be a legendary figure of the Witch Association... Lord Holy Hall Walker should be in some other world..."
Jiang Si just smiled without saying anything, putting on an air of inscrutable profundity.
Ruo Yun suddenly jerked her head up. "So actually, Lord Holy Hall Walker killed Si Motu and took his place, right?"
It wasn’t exactly the conclusion she’d hoped for, but Hyacinth still couldn’t help laughing at her captain.
Just as Jiang Si was about to speak and tell Ruo Yun and the others to head back—
The sky suddenly changed color.
Next, layer upon layer of clouds began to disperse; the surroundings shifted from cityscape to mountainous terrain.
Birds circled the mountains, letting out long cries.
"The Cyan Cloud Sect Leader and the Seven True Inheritance have arrived!"
Then an endless tide of purple flames surged over from the distance, vast and mighty like the ocean.
A purple Magical Girl and seven other Magical Girls appeared together amid the hazy mountains.
Above the mountain hung a massive plaque.
Illusory Moon Cave Mansion!
For a moment, even Jiang Si grew serious.
This actually had more presence than his original version!
"Since you behold Cyan Cloud."
Someone among them spoke with solemn gravity:
"Why do you not bow?"
