Chapter 944: Are You Happy?
Chapter 944: Are You Happy?
Jing An fell into contemplation, but she eventually concluded that it was a brilliant plan.
"That sounds great!" Jing An exclaimed.
The Tianxing Law had never said anything about making someone else fight for you.
Jing An and Yi Nian revealed mischievous grins and exchanged mischievous looks.
Ye Guan shook his head with an amused smile. These two were like playful little witches. He glanced over at Tian Qing and handed him a pouch containing a hundred Eternal Crystals.
Tian Qing looked surprised and hurriedly refused it, saying, "Young Master Ye, there's really no need."
Ye Guan waved it off with a smile. "It's just a small gift; take it."
Tian Qing hesitated briefly before accepting the crystals.
Honestly, no one would refuse to take a hundred Eternal Crystals.
Ye Guan added, "Head over to the Guanxuan Universe. Someone will take care of you there."
Tian Qing bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, Young Master Ye. Farewell."
With that, Tian Qing disappeared into the distance.
After a while, a faint ripple in spacetime appeared before Ye Guan.
It was a message transmission from Li Han.
Moments later, Ye Guan frowned.
Yi Nian sensed his unease and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The Second Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance has arrived."
Jing An's eyes narrowed. "The Evil Dao Alliance is not easy to deal with."
Ye Guan cast a curious gaze at her. "You know about the Evil Dao Alliance?"
"Of course. I also know that they're from the Evil Universe. Our Tianxing Civilization have had fights with them over the years."
"Did you guys manage to defeat them?" Ye Guan asked.
Jing An puffed her chest up with pride. "Of course, we defeated them! The Tianxing Civilization has never lost a battle against them."
The Evil Universe... Ye Guan stayed silent. Since they had been fighting many battles against the Tianxing Civilization without getting annihlated, then they were certainly no pushovers.
Li Han's warning to exercise extreme caution about the Second Hall Master echoed in Ye Guan's mind.
"The Evil Universe has three key figures—the legendary First Hall Master, the Universe Spirit of the Evil Universe, which is essentially a manifestation of its Universe Tribulation, and the Second Hall Master. The rest of their so-called ‘Hall Masters' are just laughable."
Ye Guan raised an eyebrow. "If they're such a threat, how come the Tianxing Civilization hasn't wiped them out yet?"
Jing An shrugged. "There are two reasons behind that."
"What are those reasons?" Ye Guan's curiosity grew.
Jing An shook her head again and smiled playfully. "No idea."
Ye Guan's face twitched in annoyance.
Jing An, still savoring her hawthorn candy, added, "High Goddess Tianyun has mentioned that there are two reasons, but she didn't bother explaining it."
A deafening silence descended upon everyone. Eventually, Ye Guan decided to drop the topic and said, "Let's not worry about them for now. Anyway, how about we head to the Tianxing Civilization now?"
Yi Nian's eyes sparkled. "Sounds good!"
Ye Guan led them to the vast starry sky and turned to the two. "Which way do we go?"
Jing An stepped forward, and her slender finger tapped the spacetime in front of her.
Boom!
The spacetime rippled like the surface of a pond, and the scene before the three peeled away as if they were being whisked away through countless star fields at the speed of light.
Ye Guan's eyes widened in amazement. They were traveling through spacetime at an unimaginably fast speed. To put it in perspective, it was a million times faster than teleportation arrays and was almost as fast as the Qingxuan Sword.
Ye Guan glanced at the Eternal Vein inside the tiny pagoda.
He had to admit—it was a great steal.
Since he got the Eternal Vein, the spiritual energy within the tiny pagoda had increased tenfold, giving birth to thousands of high-quality Eternal Crystals.
Ye Guan had just obtained an incredible fortune.
While Ye Guan was in deep contemplation, he felt a soft hand grabbing his own hand. He turned to his side and saw Yi Nian. A hesitant light glimmered within Yi Nian's eyes.
Ye Guan smiled gently. "What's on your mind?"
"We're about to meet my teacher, High Goddess. Jing An and I were both chosen by her when we were born, and we've been under her guidance ever since. She's like family to us, so when you meet her..."
Ye Guan chuckled. "I'll be on my best behavior."
Yi Nian's face brightened with a sweet smile. "There's one more thing..."
Ye Guan lightly patted her head. "Go on."
"That spacetime inside the tiny pagoda tower... it's incredibly advanced, even beyond our Tianxing Civilization. Once we're back, can I share some of its secrets with my teacher?"
Ye Guan was quiet.
Yi Nian saw that and quickly added, "If you don't want to, I won't—"
"Haha." Ye Guan laughed softly. "Of course you can. In fact, if your teacher wants to study it personally, she's welcome to do so."
Yi Nian blinked, and her face was full of disbelief. "Really?"
No one knew the value of that space better than her. Allowing the Tianxing Civilization to study it could lead to breakthroughs that would surely advance their technology by leaps and bounds.
The mysterious spacetime of the tiny pagoda was marvelous beyond comprehension.
Ye Guan nodded firmly. "I've always treated your family like my own."
Yi Nian stood on her toes and kissed Ye Guan on the cheek before quickly lowering her head with her face flushed red.
Ye Guan chuckled warmly.
Yi Nian peeked at him bashfully with eyes full of warmth and affection.
Jing An rolled her eyes and quipped, "Showing off? You'll break up soon at this rate."
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
Soon, the scenery stabilized, and the trio found themselves standing before a grand hall.
Ye Guan looked at the grand hall with a curious gaze.
"Where are we?"
Yi Nian grinned. "We work here."
Ye Guan became even more intrigued.
Following the two ladies inside the grand hall, Ye Guan was greeted by countless light screens, each displaying a different starry region. The light screens were spread out like a giant web.
Ye Guan was stunned by the sheer scale of it all.
Licking her hawthorn candy, Yi Nian explained, "This is our control room. The Tianxing Civilization's probes are constantly scanning the vast expanse, looking for new civilizations to study or destroy."
Ye Guan was in awe as he looked around the starry regions on display. He had no idea that the Tianxing Civilization was monitoring so many universe regions for a chance to detect civilizations.
It was truly shocking.
Suddenly, Ye Guan asked, "Yi Nian, what's your job?"
Before she could answer, Jing An said, "She's a Junior Officer. Her job is to eliminate universes. Our Tianxing Civilization has nine officers jobs, and each job has its own duties to do."
Ye Guan raised an eyebrow. "And you? Are you an officer, too?"
With a grin, Jing An replied, "Not yet. I'm still a student at the Tianyun Academy. Once I graduate, I'll be assigned a job. But chances are I'll become an officer. Only the best fruits get that title, and I'm a top-notch fruit!"
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
Yi Nian walked over to one of the control stations and tapped a few buttons.
Soon, a universe enveloped in dark, blood-red lightning bolts appeared on one of the screens.
"What is that place?" Ye Guan asked.
"That's the Evil Universe," Yi Nian replied casually as she pressed a red button.
A ball of Tianxing Flame manifested and shot into the void, hurtling toward the Evil Universe. Within moments, Ye Guan saw it land on the universe; the flame set the entire universe ablaze, transforming it into an inferno.
Ye Guan was dumbfounded.
"Huh?" A faint, confused voice echoed from within the Evil Universe. Moments later, a massive blood-red lightning bolt flew, colliding with the Tianxing Flame.
Boom!
The lightning bolt shattered, but the Tianxing Flame pressed on.
Just then, a blood-red hand emerged from the depths of the universe. It grabbed the Tianxing Flame, immobilizing it.
Yi Nian froze. The next moment, she decisively pressed another red button again. This time, dozens of Tianxing Flames manifested and rained down on the Evil Universe.
The combined power of dozens of Tianxing Flames was simply unimaginable, and even the Evil Universe began to melt.
"Tianxing!" someone roared from the depths of the Evil Universe. "We just signed a peace treaty, so why are you trying to burn us down? What is this treachery?"
A massive blood-red curtain of light manifested. It shot into the sky and formed a towering barrier above the universe. However, the barrier soon started melting beneath the might of dozens of Tianxing Flames.
Just as Yi Nian was about to press the same button, a soft white light suddenly appeared in the hall. Mysterious white specks of light floated toward the two women.
Upon reading the texts that it carried, Yi Nian's face darkened.
Jing An frowned as well.
Ye Guan saw that and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jing An softly replied, "The Hall of Justice has just sent an order. Yi Nian needs to return immediately..."
"Because of the Tianxing Flame?" Ye Guan's tone was grave.
Jing An nodded and glanced toward the Evil Universe. "That guy claims that he signed a peace treaty with us. I don't know if it's true, but if it is, we can't go against the treaty."
Ye Guan's brow furrowed deeply. The Evil Universe has signed a peace treaty with the Tianxing Civilization?
Just then, Yi Nian reached out to press the red button, but Ye Guan grabbed her hand and shook his head.
Jing An stepped forward and firmly said, "Yi Nian, the Tianxing Flame is not strong enough to destroy the Evil Universe. It's a different story if you use the Advanced Tianxing Flame, but that requires the Chief Enforcement Officer's approval."
Without a word, Yi Nian pulled out a special divine seal from a small pouch.
Jing An's face instantly paled at the sight of it. She rushed forward to stop Yi Nian, but it was too late. Yi Nian had already pressed the divine seal onto the red button.
Boom!
A blood-red flame manifested above the hall, and it streaked across the void. It was like a fiery, crimson star as it reached the Evil Universe in just a few seconds.
From deep within the Evil Universe, a panicked voice echoed. "An Advanced Tianxing Flame?! Are you Tianxing maniacs out of your minds?! We just signed a peace treaty! Damn it... Run!"
A myriad of powerful auras scrambled in terror in a bit to flee the Evil Universe.
The blood-red flame descended and pierced the heart of the Evil Universe.
Everything went silent.
Then, the entire Evil Universe melted from within as if it were a burning candle.
The universe became a sea of lava. Towering pillars of flame erupted into the sky, exploding like fireworks in the dark.
Yi Nian turned to Ye Guan and held his hand gently.
"Hubby, are you happy?" Yi Nian asked with a sweet smile.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
Little Pagoda was dumbfounded.
