Chapter 789 - 246: Full Bloom’s Personal Bodyguard
Jiang Si watched as all the Disaster Beast corpses transformed into pitch-black Magic Power, starting to pour into Tonghua’s Seed of Sorrow.
Next, as the Seed of Sorrow fused into his body, his transformation began to occur.
He transformed into vines, "Let me show you strength that rivals the captain!"
Then countless vines spread out, almost covering the entire factory. Tonghua grinned grimly, his face twisted.
"A fully restored A-grade Disaster Beast, with even greater control. I am not just an inheritor, I will surpass the capta..."
Bang!
Si Motu had already smashed a fist onto the vines.
With just one punch, the immense impact made the factory creak unpleasantly, and all the vines shattered into dust!
Kiddo, you’re far behind the captain!
Jiang Si coldly smiled:
"This Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapon is called Guanyin’s Tears!"
Bai Hu watched as Tonghua started to cry in pain.
Does it mean he got punched to tears?
Then he grabbed Tonghua’s head again and slammed it fiercely onto the steel frame of the workshop. Overhead, the crane roared, teetering!
And his head exploded like a watermelon, spraying countless blood flowers.
"Bodhi Blood!"
With hands like dragon claws, he swiftly snatched the Seed of Sorrow from the body!
"Sky-Flying Divine Claw!"
Finally, he smashed another punch onto Tonghua’s body.
The entire factory sank slightly, the ground cracked with a booming sound, and a massive pit was blasted out!
"Yama’s Note!"
The factory let out a final, unpleasant wail, creaked, and collapsed with a thunderous crash!
Outside, Yun Ke and others, who were waiting, were startled and rushed forward in alarm, directly into the collapsing steel machines, where a figure strolled out as if taking a casual walk in his living room, enduring the heavy steel blows.
Strolling out from the factory!
"Long live Lord Si Motu!"
Yun Ke remembered Xilan’s reaction first, then reacted the quickest!
The rest followed along, shouting, while only the seasoned driver shouted, "Bro, awesome!"
Si Motu casually tossed Bai Hu out and asked, "So, now you know the power of my Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapons? Study the Demon Fighting Continent well, memorize the ’Profound Celestial Treasure Record: General Outline,’ and ’Hundreds of Hidden Weapons Solutions’ among other manuals, and one day you’ll be able to use hidden weapons like me."
"Where’s the hidden part, if I may ask?"
Jiang Si turned his head, took a look at the girl who spoke in rebuttal, and rolling her eyes while sitting on the collapsed ruins of the factory, was none other than vice-chairman, Jia Lan.
"Just say, is it dead or not."
Now, looking somewhat speechlessly at the wreckage of the factory, "You had a good fight, but the factory is ruined."
Yun Ke immediately jumped out, "You’re not allowed to speak of Lord Si Motu like that! With us, the New Witch Association members, rebuilding the factory is a piece of cake!"
The others followed in shouting, with only the seasoned driver remaining silent.
Because the seasoned driver still felt Yun Ke was an outsider...
"Seems like you’ve learned well from Xilan, you sycophant."
But Jia Lan didn’t say much more, just glanced at Si Motu, then at Bai Hu beside him.
"Ha, changed to a new girlfriend again?"
Bai Hu tilted her head, "Sir, can Bai Hu nod?"
"You can bow."
So Bai Hu kneeled down and firmly knocked her head to the ground.
Jiang Si lifted up the confused girl, looking at Jia Lan, "When my factory was in trouble, you didn’t help, but when I come back to reclaim it, you show up—are you trying to oppose me?"
Jia Lan immediately raised her hands in surrender, "Better not, I came following the chairperson’s order to find you."
"What matter?"
"Currently, I’ve been stripped of the vice-chairman title."
Jia Lan laughed nonchalantly, "The chairperson plans to give the vice-chairman title to you and officially recognize the New Witch Association."
The indifferent gaze of Jiang Si finally moved, "That’s still not enough, is it?"
"To express my apology, I’ll personally deliver the Witch Potion formula to you and take you to the Witch Association headquarters for the vice-chairman’s award inheritance."
"When?"
"Very soon, but the Witch Association hopes you’ll complete a task to prove you’re capable of becoming vice-chairman."
"Can I kill you?"
"No," Jia Lan looked exasperated, "They want your ability, not your combat power."
"Combat power is ability."
"...Well, that’s also true."
Jia Lan then handed a Crystal Ball to Jiang Si.
"In a certain Old World, a Full Bloom Magical Girl is about to emerge."
"Full Bloom?" Jiang Si, who knew about the recent version updates where Full Bloom would soon become common, was still surprised by the speed.
"Yes, your fiancée has almost leaked the Mirror Country’s technology, and someone used Mirror Country’s technology to break through Full Bloom. It’s currently far beyond what Jade Fox was before."
Jia Lan said seriously, "A Full Bloom with a Heart Image Domain."
Jiang Si’s eyes instantly lit up, "That’s no small feat."
"Indeed, and it’s still your fiancée’s fault. With such a fiancée, you’re in for it in the future."
"No problem," Jiang Si waved broadly, "Killing can solve it, right?"
"No."
Seeing Si Motu’s unexpected pause,
Jia Lan couldn’t help but let out a satisfying laugh, "The Witch Association’s task is for you to protect her."
"As a personal bodyguard for the Full Bloom."
Jiang Si raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
"The Witch Association was just kicked out of the Full Bloom plan by your fiancée; we can only rely on her to study Mirror Country’s Full Bloom plan."
Jia Lan shrugged, "Your fiancée is just too domineering, wanting to be the king of the Old World and not giving our Witch Association any chance, so we have to find our own way. Since you’re so capable in fights, protection shouldn’t be a problem, right."
Apart from the fact that his qualifications as a bodyguard seem overqualified, there are really no issues.
Jiang Si having entrance exam scores for a prestigious university, generally speaking, bodyguards and security should come from college.
This reduces his standing a bit...
Jiang Si accepted the Crystal Ball, and nodded, "No problem, but I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"Why was that guy so confident enough to attack me just now?" Jiang Si was somewhat puzzled, "Has he always been this brave? Doesn’t he know that I wield Tang Sect’s Hidden Weapons?"
After all, my battle records should abound in the Witch Association.
As the head of North China, he should have some intel, right?
"Hehe."
Jia Lan started to chuckle, "The information he had about you was all from me, with a bit, well, a small modification."
"’Profound Celestial Treasure Record: General Outline’ Entry One: Never let someone you cannot fully trust know your real strength and intentions."
Jiang Si lifted the dim-witted student and said, "See that, Bai Hu, learn carefully."
The dully responsive Bai Hu merely nodded, while Jia Lan immediately exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that!"
"Nothing," Jiang Si said mildly:
"I was just curious why you did it."
"Too many Magical Girls have been hurt; can you accept that explanation?"
"Yes."
Jia Lan blinked, "Really accepted that?"
"Do you want me not to accept it?"
"Nothing, nothing..." Jia Lan waved her hand, "In any case, good luck with your martial endeavors, Vice-chairman."
"Do this task well, and you’d never have to worry about food and drink your whole life!"
Indeed, taking the Witch Association headquarters.
A lifetime of not worrying about food and drink.
"Oh, by the way, as vice-chairman, you have the right to know a piece of information."
Jia Lan suddenly leaned close to Si Motu, whispering softly into his ear:
"The Witch Association headquarters is located in Chongxi."
Damn, no wonder the elimination threshold was so high.
