Chapter 143 Husband, say something!

That old scoundrel Fu Jian!

He actually passed the buck back to Ling Tong, making Ling Tong explain to Shen Hai!

Upon seeing the orders Ling Tong received, Master Wang, who had just been thinking of going to take a nap, almost started cursing.

Ling Tong obediently went to Shen Hai to explain this matter…

Wang Jixuan rubbed his forehead: “I’ll handle this. It’s easier for men to talk things out. Wait until Shenhai wakes up and then call me. I’ll find a place to sleep for a while.”

“I’m fine with going.”

“It’s alright, I’ll take care of it. I’ll have Sister Wan prepare a few dishes and get me some real liquor at 82 Fortress. Uncle Tai will be with me later.”

Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers:

“I’m going to get some sleep, sir. Peony will stay with me; call me anytime if there’s a problem.”

Ling Tong hesitated, but Master Wang waved his hand and left the tent with his loyal wingman.

Ling Tong actually wants to remind you of something:

The humanoid mechs are a disciplined unit, and drinking alcohol is prohibited during daily training.

However, in the current bizarre situation, a suitable amount of alcohol intoxication is actually quite good.

…

Wang Jixuan slept for less than two hours before his spiritual consciousness returned to normal.

He dared not waste time on such a luxurious sleep, so he forced his eyelids open and began meditating, arranging more than ten crystal cores.

The right way to cultivate oneself is through daily accumulation.

He had only been meditating for a short time when Peony boarded the supply vehicle and knocked on the door of the rear compartment.

“Sir, Shenhai has woken up, Uncle Tai, who was drinking with us, is ready for battle, and food, ammunition, and alcohol are all ready!”

“Okay, I’m coming.”

Wang Jixuan slowly pressed his hands down from his chest, and his internal energy sea quickly returned to calm, and his own aura also returned to stillness.

Because of the risk of being targeted by the horde of Blade Beasts, he must now act with extreme caution.

Even when dressed in ordinary clothes like shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, he would add a holographic belt to make himself “optically invisible” as he walked beside Peony.

Incidentally, Wang Jixuan also planned to request some of the best shielding equipment from Fu Jian.

Wang Jixuan has already read the current battle reports for the D5 war zone.

Although the D5’s ammunition storage was extremely expensive and caused the deaths and injuries of many brave soldiers;

However, with multiple fronts of fighting and sniping, they achieved significant results with relatively few casualties, greatly reducing the pressure on the D5 war zone, which was defending on multiple fronts.

The value of his bait is self-evident!

At this stage, the only effective way to avoid being locked onto by those vertical pupils is…

Hide.

‘We must remain hidden. We cannot act impulsively. Reaching the Golden Core realm as soon as possible is the right thing to do.’

The supply vehicle was some distance from the experimental tent.

In just two or three hours, a simple’shed’ had been set up here to shelter a certain King-level Blade Beast from the wind and rain.

— Primarily to block detection by reconnaissance satellites.

On the way, Peony whispered a reminder: “Sir, according to the information I’ve intercepted, the City of Spiritual Energy has already started causing trouble.”

“What are they up to now?”

“They said that we deliberately prevented them from joining the full-scale sniping war in the D5 war zone, excluding psionicists from the human war order, and denounced us for pursuing military independence and deliberately using the threat of the Blade Beasts to hold all of humanity hostage.”

Wang Jixuan: ……

“No, how did they do that? How can they be so shameless with just a few words?”

“The number of politicians in the Psionic City is much higher than here.”

Peony chuckled:

“If it weren’t for the Commander-in-Chief restricting the development of fully autonomous machines like Peony, we would have wiped out all the bad guys in the City of Spiritual Energy long ago.”

“However, there is one thing that must be acknowledged.”

“While psychics seek power, they are indeed protecting humanity. After all… if all of humanity were to die, they would lose their potential for advancement. And if everyone in the world were a psychic, wouldn’t they just become ordinary people again?”

Wang Jixuan chuckled: “Let Lao Fu handle this himself. After comforting Shen Hai, we’ll immediately return to Fortress 76 and find other hiding places. One fortress isn’t enough.”

“Okay, Peony will send feedback to the Commander-in-Chief right away.”

Peony opened the hidden door in the iron sheet wall in front, and Wang Jixuan lowered his head and entered the simple machine shed.

The ground was still a pitted, sandy area, and the layout remained unchanged.

A corner not far ahead.

Uncle Tai has prepared a table full of delicious dishes and is busy arranging them.

Shen Hai sat on a chair not far away, staring blankly at a paper form.

Although the half-human mech was trying his best to hide it, his eyes were still inevitably red.

He was probably in a state of utter despair right now.

Wang Jixuan untied the holographic belt and tossed it to Mudan, indicating that she was free to do as she pleased. With her hands in her pockets and wearing beach sandals, she strolled over leisurely.

“Commander Deep Sea?” Uncle Tai called out softly, “Teacher Wang is here.”

“Okay, sure.”

Shen Hai put down the paper form, pursed his lips to make it look like a smile, and stood up to give Wang Jixuan a military salute.

Wang Jixuan nodded casually and said with a smile, “Come and have a drink, let’s have a heart-to-heart talk. It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten together with Uncle Tai. We’d also like to get your opinion on some future developments in psionic technology.”

“OK.”

Shen Hai is a sensible man; he knows this drinking party was set up for him. His friend offered comfort out of good intentions, and he shouldn’t spoil the fun.

And Deep Sea really does want to get drunk right now.

After a few sips of light wine, Shen Hai let out a soft sigh.

Uncle Tai and Wang Jixuan looked at each other. Wang Jixuan winked at Uncle Tai, who cleared his throat and turned to look at the deep sea.

Deep Sea’s calm and resolute face held a hint of a smile as he gazed serenely at Uncle Tai.

Uncle Tai was momentarily speechless, muttering, “I might be a little drunk. I’ll rest for a bit. You guys continue, continue.”

Wang Jixuan: ……

What did I call you here for?

Uncle Tai leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a short rest; his old face was even more rosy than it had been a few seconds earlier.

‘Let me speak for myself.’

Wang Jixuan looked at Shenhai, who responded with a firm gaze and a smiling expression.

“Deep Sea, you need to be mentally prepared for this…”

“I’m fine, really, you don’t need to look at me like that.”

Shen Hai sighed, forcing a hint of relief in his eyes, and calmly said:

“Our humanoid mechs have always had a high casualty rate. We’ve trained specifically for this self-destruct tactic because it’s often the only way to exploit the weaknesses of powerful blade beasts… It’s just that we agreed that when this tactic is needed, I’ll go first and she’ll go second.”

Shenhai took a sip of alcoholic beverage:

“She lied to me, and that bothers me.”

“Actually… we had already made a pact… if we could survive to be thirty-six on the battlefield, we would apply for a year’s leave. By then, our reproductive organs should have been removed, but we could apply for a germ cell bank in advance, and then use in vitro fertilization to create an offspring.”

“We didn’t expect to be able to take care of this child forever. We just wanted to stay with him for a year, and then we would have no regrets. We applied to go to the most brutal battlefield and to tackle the toughest challenges.”

“Just think of it as creating a new environment for this child.”

“Our civilization, our home, are already in this state; we shouldn’t expect anything more…”

“Actually, I should have died first… really… I’m older than her… why am I so weak? If only I could have dodged that sweeping tail…”

Deep Sea’s tears suddenly burst forth. His lips trembled uncontrollably as he tried his best to hold back his sobs, but he still couldn’t control himself. He covered his eyes with his mechanical arm, bowed his head, and choked back sobs.

Wang Jixuan silently poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head back, and drank it down.

The sight of the scenery evokes sorrow, and so does the person.

Wang Jixuan waited quietly by the side. After a few minutes, Shen Hai sighed, wiped away his tears, tilted his head back and gulped down a whole glass of baijiu, his eyes becoming somewhat vacant again.

“Deep Sea, how much do you know about spiritual practitioners?”

“Spiritual practitioners?” Shen Hai said in a low voice. “Officially, I shouldn’t know, but I’ve overheard Sister Wan and Ling Tong talking about it and I have some information.”

“I am now receiving the civilization of spiritual practitioners…you can understand it that way for now, although the truth may be even more absurd.”

Wang Jixuan transmitted his voice directly to the deep sea:

“I’m not trying to comfort you, but everyone needs time to accept things like this.”

“But I think you need to adapt quickly, because I have even more serious news to tell you today.”

Shen Hai laughed and said, “Just tell me directly. The humanoid mech is not as fragile as you think.”

“Let’s play it safe and keep drinking. I’m venting to you about these things, but don’t tell anyone except the Commander-in-Chief.”

“You said it was fine to tell the Commander-in-Chief, and I also intended for him to know these things.”

Wang Jixuan poured Shen Hai another cup of wine and transmitted his thoughts to him:

“When I inherited this civilization, I was also inheriting a memory. In this memory, I saw a powerful spiritual practitioner, but there is a lot of information I cannot reveal.”

“This spiritual practitioner lives in an organization where it is spring-like all year round. This organization is called Wangxian Valley, and it is one of the top organizations in their area.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“And it is righteous. Wangxian Valley requires every member of the organization to not only understand the principles of heaven and earth and constantly improve themselves, but also to punish the strong and help the weak and save the common people.”

“Um?”

Deep Sea was somewhat puzzled and asked in a low voice:

“So, are you Wang Zheng now, or this spiritual cultivator?”

Wang Jixuan also took it to heart: “Actually, it’s all the same, but Wang Zheng is still the main one.”

Shen Hai asked with concern, “Does this kind of thing make you feel a little depressed?”

“I do feel a little frustrated, but not because of things like ‘I am not myself,’ I don’t have that kind of sentimentality.”

Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue:

“What’s bothering me most right now is actually the fear of what lies ahead.”

“Fear of the Blade Beast?”

“Blade Beasts are nothing. Based on all the signs I’ve discovered, Blade Beasts are very likely a puppet race that was created.”

Wang Jixuan closed his eyes. Before him lay the majestic power of heaven, the endless tribulation clouds, the immortal gate that was right in front of him but he could not enter, and the pain and despair that he was just a hair’s breadth away from overcoming.

He transmitted the message:

What I fear is actually a set of rules.

“However, no matter how terrified I am, I will take it one step at a time and walk up to this enemy once again.”

“Even if what awaits me is another failure, or utter destruction, I want to overcome it and transcend it, without regret until death.”

The deep sea couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe, but…

“Wasn’t today supposed to be my consolation session? How did it turn into a heart-to-heart talk?”

Deep Sea smiles and raises his glass:

“This toast is to my wife. I’ve decided to listen to her! If I can live to forty and single-handedly kill a King-level Blade Beast, then I’ll find another partner!”

Wang Jixuan took a sip of wine.

Upon hearing this, he wavered a little.

From a friend’s perspective, letting Deepsea forget about Red Serpent is a good thing for both Deepsea and Red Serpent right now…

suddenly!

Guh—

Wang Jixuan suddenly heard a woman’s cursing voice in his mind: “Good, good, good! I’m so angry! He actually wants to find another one! Men are all big pigs!”

A sudden surge of psionic energy erupted in the central area of ​​the hangar, which was covered by a tarpaulin!

“What are you looking for!”

Wang Jixuan pressed down on the deep-sea mechanical arm and said firmly:

“Deep Sea Bro! You don’t want to find another one!”

“well!”

Deep Sea sniffs:

“I get what you mean, brother. From today onwards, I’m really going to treat you like a brother.”

“Your sister-in-law is honorable, and I am proud of her.”

“My only regret is not having a child with her earlier, but damn it, life is full of regrets.”

“I am a precious fighting force, a fighting force cultivated by human civilization with a great deal of resources. I must effectively utilize this fighting force to kill more Blade Beasts and help our civilization!”

“This is enlightenment, the most basic enlightenment.”

“I know that you’re not just comforting me today, but also conducting an emotional stability test on behalf of the war zone. Please rest assured, organization! Although my wife’s death has been a huge blow to me, I will adjust my state as soon as possible and will never have any self-destructive tendencies!”

His lips trembled a few times, but he still whispered:

“If the organization were to assign me another wife, I wouldn’t refuse, but could you let me recover emotionally for a few years?”

“I am, after all, a human being, not a machine. I need an emotional transition.”

Guh—

Wang Jixuan felt the curses of a certain older sister figure rise again in her mind:

“Fine! Fine! The truth has been revealed! It only takes a few years to recover! Not even ten years! I’m so angry! I need to get up! Aaaaaah!”

Wang Jixuan raised his hand to his forehead.

Deep Sea continued, “Furthermore, although my wife and I have a very good relationship, the cause of humanity is paramount…”

“Brother, brother! I’ll toast you, drink first!”

“OK!”

The two raised their glasses and clinked them together. Wang Jixuan let out a burp and secretly made a hand gesture to Mudan beside him.

“As the saying goes, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Let’s get straight to the point!”

Wang Jixuan stood up:

“Here’s what happened, Brother Shenhai, look this way.”

Two cranes operated in sync, pulling up the canvas covering the massive object and revealing the enormous bladed beast that had just emerged from its cocoon.

The Blade Beast curled up on the ground, its appearance having changed significantly from that of the Thorn Flower, now appearing more human-like.

Its exoskeleton resembles the outermost alloy layer of a mecha, giving it a more streamlined look and reducing the rough, uneven feel of a skeletal structure.

Its slender body has six legs, with the forelimbs being shorter and the blades embedded in them being even sharper.

The lower quadrupeds differentiated into animal-like limbs, while the sciatic limbs degenerated, losing their direct destructive power but increasing stability and running ability.

Its biggest change is in the head.

The mouthparts of Blade Beasts have always been their main characteristic. No matter how different types of Blade Beasts change their bodies, the structure of their mouthparts remains largely unchanged—round or oval, with layers of sharp teeth distributed inside, resembling a spiraling black hole.

The mouthparts of this bladed beast were no exception, still as terrifying as ever, except that there were four giant ‘petal’ structures outside the mouthparts. When the four petals folded forward, they could completely cover the mouthparts. On the outer side of the upper petal, there were also micro-carved human facial features.

At this moment, it slowly stood up.

Its four legs braced against the sand, and its entire body was enveloped in psionic energy to prevent it from sinking. Its more slender body, sharp blade-like limbs, and bud-like head area gave it an eerie beauty.

It can also switch modes.

By simply placing both front legs against the body, one can stand upright on only the hind legs, reaching a height of 18 meters. The upper middle pair of legs resemble human arms, though the proportions are somewhat disproportionate.

Deep Sea stared intently at the human facial features relief that appeared on the ‘petals’ of the blade beast’s head.

“Well, Deep Sea Bro, I have two pieces of news to share with you.”

Wang Jixuan affixed an inspiration talisman to Shenhai, temporarily granting Shenhai the ability to communicate with souls.

“The bad news is that I only managed to save the Red Serpent’s soul.”

“The good news is that she has the power of a demigod.”

After saying this, Wang Jixuan patted Shenhai on the shoulder, turned around and left, walking very quickly, while preparing to be chased by the Destruction Cannon.

Deep Sea stared blankly at the enormous sub-king-level blade beast before him.

The sub-king-level Blade Beast, standing upright, struck a sexy pose with its hands on its hips and its head tucked in, its voice resonating deep within the ocean’s heart:

“Honey, haven’t you always wanted me to be a little fuller-figured? Is this enough?”
