Chapter 119 2 Bread with Cheese
Why is it that the small group of people who become the protagonists under the world's spotlight are always plagued by misfortune?
Anyway, that's how it is in the world of Guilongchao. All the characters who appear in the story and are respectable seem to have tragic pasts that no one knows about, or they are problem children.
At this point, the cheat function of Minmoyou becomes apparent—
Knowing the characters' backgrounds, Min Moyou only needs to find an opportunity to attack their weakest points with simple and unadorned words, and she can easily win them over.
For example, with the impermanent person in front of me, all I need to do is use knowing her background as bait, and I'm sure I can get her to temporarily set aside her principles, stop her offensive, and listen to me properly.
Then, by explaining Xiao Ran's situation clearly, the battle will be completely wiped out by Min Moyou.
A master strategist who can win battles from afar, sitting calmly on the sidelines, never personally taking action, yet accurately achieving every goal – this is the image of a true CEO.
Unfortunately, right now... Min Moyou has no choice but to get involved.
Because the fierce magical clash between Xiaoran and Wuchang had reached a fever pitch, their figures were flashing back and forth, making it difficult to even get close enough to exchange a few words.
Min Moyou has rarely used the power of the Supreme Dragon Curse. One reason is that before his transmigration, he lived in a stable and peaceful society and received a healthy education. He considers himself to have a relatively moderate and peaceful personality and doesn't particularly like fighting and killing.
Furthermore, the existence of the Supreme Dragon Curse is far too conspicuous. Without the power and strength to protect oneself even if the Supreme Dragon Curse is exposed, Minmo Youhui will minimize its use as much as possible to reduce the risk of exposure.
At this moment, he had no time to hesitate.
I definitely didn't bring enough people with me when I went out...
Min Moyou is currently being held aloft in mid-air by Xiaoran's magical auspicious clouds, far from the battlefield. For a person, the auspicious clouds are quite spacious, and as long as he doesn't move around recklessly, there will be no danger.
But now he's starting to move around!
Min Moyou, hands in his pockets, took a step forward into the air beyond the auspicious clouds.
Although it was night, there was still a faint moonlight. As Min Moyou took a step forward, the power of Ao Huilong's incantation was mobilized, and the [moonlight], which belonged to the Yang attribute of incantation power, was invoked.
A long, silver staircase leading to the core of the battlefield was instantly laid out beneath Min Moyou's feet.
Min Moyou landed firmly on his foot, feeling as if he were walking on flat ground in the air.
'Once it's untied, shouldn't it only require the strength of the physical body?'
With a leap, Min Moyou raced wildly down the moonlit steps, covering several miles in an instant. His body broke the sound barrier, creating a gust of wind as he joined the battle like a cannonball, heading straight for Wuchang.
The commotion was quite significant, and Wuchang quickly noticed Min Moyou's arrival. She was somewhat surprised—when she first met Min Moyou, she had no idea that he was a dragon prince; she only thought he was an ordinary adult male with a slightly stronger physique.
Now it seems... he hid it quite well.
However, Wuchang could also judge Min Moyou's strength by the aura emanating from the moonlit steps she was standing on—it was not enough to pose a threat to her—the difference in strength between the gold and purple ranks was more difficult to overcome than a chasm.
Moreover, the Dragon Blood of Impermanence is of superior quality and its corresponding attribute rules are also top-tier.
However, Min Moyou is not her target, and she will not make a move against him.
Perhaps the person who passed away before him was someone he cared about?
This situation is very common when ferrying people across the river; impermanence has become commonplace.
The pain of separation and death can easily cause ordinary people to lose their rationality.
"Sir, please stop interfering with my ferry service."
Wuchang glanced at Min Moyou indifferently, waved his hand casually, and a large, dark blue water sphere, like a cage, slowly flew towards Min Moyou's inevitable path, probably to block him.
With his other hand holding a bell cane, he continued to exchange waves with Xiaoran.
It's just a matter of time, right? Anyway, I'm not afraid of impermanence.
Her heart remained as calm as still water, and her body could survive without food.
Xiao Ran was too busy battling the impermanence of life to help Min Mo You.
However, she believed that since Min Moyou dared to approach Wuchang, he must have his reasons and his confidence.
As expected, the large water sphere formed by the River of Oblivion kept approaching Min Moyou, but there was not a trace of panic on Min Moyou's face.
He even put his hand directly into the giant water sphere!
Will he be frozen into an ice sculpture?
No, Min Moyou only felt that the water of the River of Oblivion in front of him was cool and refreshing to the touch, more substantial and softer than ordinary water, but he could not sense any threatening or aggressive intent.
This is the Supreme Dragon Spell!
Min Moyou reached out and pushed again—the waters of the River of Oblivion were as obedient as a clingy child, affectionately rubbing against Min Moyou's hand and consciously making way.
Impermanence: ?
By the time Wuchang realized what was happening, Min Moyou had already appeared behind her, one hand on her shoulder to prevent her from escaping, and the other hand using a strength Wuchang couldn't resist to "gently" press down her hand that was holding the bell staff against the wave...
The water jet stopped, and since Min Moyou was now in the same position as Wuchang, Xiaoran stopped attacking, for fear of accidentally injuring Min Moyou.
“There’s some misunderstanding here. I think we can talk it over. I’ll explain it to you clearly. Xiaoran is not someone who needs to be ferried across to the afterlife.”
Wuchang was surprised by Min Moyou's powerful physical body—it was powerful enough to harm her—but she remained calm, showing no concern or worry about whether she would be in danger.
The main theme is taking life and death lightly.
If Min Moyou could kill her, Wuchang wouldn't mind—she knew she wasn't human, didn't understand the meaning of her life, and had always wanted to ferry herself to the other side of the River of Oblivion, but she couldn't find the chains of obsession that bound her, which was why she couldn't return to the River of Oblivion for so long.
The key is that she has an unpredictable personality and is very stubborn; once she has made up her mind, it is very difficult for others to persuade her to change her mind.
Therefore, Wuchang merely glanced at Min Moyou indifferently.
"No."
He switched the bell-shaped staff from his right hand—the one that Min Moyou had been holding down—to his left, then raised it again, and a jet of water shot towards Xiaoran once more...
Minmoyou: ? No? You play like this?
Left with no other choice, Min Moyou pressed Wuchang's left hand down again...
Impermanence makes one want to switch from one hand to the other.
However, Wuchang's two hands are currently being held by Min Moyou, so he can't switch them.
Helpless, Wuchang had no choice but to turn around in Min Moyou's arms. Little Wuchang, who was not even up to Min Moyou's chest, could only look up to see Min Moyou's face.
"Sir, if you continue to obstruct my ferry service... I'm going to beat you up."
The little impermanence's eyes were full of seriousness—or rather, she had always been like this, expressionless on the face, but her eyes were full of seriousness.
“I know your background, and I also know where the address ‘No. 11, Yuchang Street, Fanyu Town’ is.”
Min Moyou said something out of the blue—only after he got up close to Wuchang did he realize that he absolutely had to take this cute and powerful legal loli home!
"Oh--"
Wuchang let out a soft "oh," his eyes seeming to widen slightly, and a hint of an expression that Min Moyou couldn't decipher appeared on his usually expressionless face...
Perhaps she was surprised?
After saying "Oh," there was no further explanation, probably because he was torn between ferrying Xiaoran and hearing news about his background.
It's also possible that she's waiting for Minmoyou to take the initiative to tell her.
Min Moyou simply admired her bright, amber-like eyes and felt her cool, soft little hands, without saying a word.
He knew that just that one sentence was enough.
After hesitating for about ten minutes, Wuchang finally looked like he had a lightbulb going off in his head, and turned to Xiaoran in the distance, saying:
"Let's not fight now, we'll fight later."
Having said that, he shook Min Moyou's sleeve.
"Tell me first. I'll call after I hear your answer."
So you want both?
Even Wuchang didn't feel anything was wrong, and just quietly waited for Min Moyou to speak.
It is her job to ferry people across the dead.
Information about her background is something she has been searching for ever since she woke up, and she wants it too.
After a ten-minute period of contemplation, Wuchang's little brain came to the conclusion that as long as there is a priority, he could have both!
"No, if you want to know about your background from me, you can't lay a hand on Xiaoran anymore."
"Will she obediently let me ferry her across to the other side of the River of Oblivion?"
"No... No, she is not someone who has passed away. She doesn't need you to ferry her across, nor does she need to go to the other side of the River of Oblivion."
"She is the one who has passed away. No."
"Do you want to know about your background? Do you want to know where No. 11 Fishing Street, Fanyu Town is?"
"Yes. I want to."
"Then don't ferry Xiaoran, or I won't tell you."
"No."
"...You can't have both."
“I can. Just tell me first, and I’ll ferry her across.”
"If you could only choose between ferrying Xiaoran and knowing her true identity, what would you do?"
"I don't want to choose. I want them all."
Oh my god, why can't this child be flexible? Is she Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history)?! Doesn't she know how to turn a blind eye?
"Then I won't tell you."
"oh....."
Wuchang let out another "Oh," and a hint of disappointment could be faintly heard. His eyes, which had widened slightly when he thought he would learn about his origins, slumped back down a little and returned to normal.
Min Moyou clearly felt that Wuchang wanted to raise his bell staff again and launch the Forgotten River Water Column, but he was held back and could not do so, or perhaps he was considering that Min Moyou knew about her background and was not willing to fight him.
What if we accidentally damage Min Moyou's brain and cause him to forget his origins?
'He's unwilling to tell me about my past now; it must be because of the existence of that deceased person.'
Wuchang thought that as long as she quickly dealt with the deceased, and then came to this gentleman to inquire about information, the precondition that prevented her from taking action would be removed.
This way, you can get the information she wants without having to do everything.
That's really clever.
What if the person who passed away was someone very important to this gentleman? If not, he probably wouldn't have stopped her like this...
Ah... well, I can just apologize to him later.
Min Moyou sensed that Wuchang's magical power was surging violently, with streams of the River of Oblivion constantly surging around him. Although he didn't feel the River of Oblivion's aggression towards him, he could sense it resisting him under Wuchang's control.
Without harming him, they attempted to pull him away from the impermanence of life.
(The River of Oblivion: This is too much for me...)
If things continue like this, Min Moyou is not confident that he can suppress Wuchang.
The prediction technique that always worked perfectly in the past failed for the first time today!?
Why are these little girls, who are of grandmotherly age, so difficult to deal with? Is this considered wisdom from the older generation?
"and many more,"
Min Moyou finally yielded.
"Okay, I'll tell you what happened to Xiaoran first, and you can judge whether she's a deceased person and whether she needs a ferry. Then, I'll also tell you about your background, okay?"
"it is good."
Wuchang obediently agreed, and the surging dragon power within him instantly calmed down—giving the impression of complete control and premeditation...
Min Moyou then gestured with her eyes for Xiaoran to quietly approach.
If things really don't work out... then we'll just have to try the two of us working together to see if we can defeat Little Impermanence...
So, impermanence isn't human, right? Then, could the human-made banner...?
Although Minmoyou did not want it to be this way.
Wuchang was completely unaware of Xiaoran's approach, even when Xiaoran was standing right behind her, forming a "sandwich" with Min Moyou, she remained oblivious, or rather, utterly indifferent...
Then, after much persuasion from Min Moyou, who explained to Wuchang the origin of Xiaoran's current soul state, the matter was resolved:
"So, do you still think she's someone who needs to be ferryed across the dead?"
"Hmm... I think so."
"???Why??"
"She carries the aura of obsession, a soul formed by the resonance of obsession and the power of the dragon curse. She also resists the ferryman's crossing, so she is definitely someone who has passed away."
"But she doesn't have any obsessions, does she? Didn't you say you didn't see any chains of obsessions on her?"
"That's because she's obsessed..."
"she is not!"
"...If she has no obsessions and is not an obsession, why doesn't she accept the ferry, return to the River of Oblivion, and enter the cycle of reincarnation?"
"Must a soul without attachments accept being ferryed across, return to the River of Oblivion, and be subject to reincarnation?"
"No need... If she has no obsession, she shouldn't need a ferry; she can go to the River of Oblivion on her own."
"Are souls that don't go to the River of Oblivion considered to be deceased?"
"......right."
"Can one not remain in the mortal world without attachments?"
"Yes. If you have no attachments, why linger in the mortal world?"
"........"
Min Moyou realized that he seemed unable to clearly explain Xiaoran's situation...
The carefree state had been purified by Minmo Youjiang from the obsession of needing to be ferryed into a pure soul, no longer bound by the chains of obsession mentioned by Wuchang, nor was it unable to return to the River of Oblivion because it was bound by chains.
To say whether Xiaoran has any obsessions or not?
Of course there is, it's freedom!
To say that she lingered in the mortal world because of her obsession... doesn't seem wrong about impermanence?
Impermanence cannot see or judge what Xiaoran's obsession is.
The current situation is very complicated, so Minmoyou has decided...
"Xiaoran! Hold her down!"
"Old Fan! Dinner's ready!"
Damn it! What kind of logic is that from a domineering CEO like me?!
