Chapter 161 The Northwest After the Disaster

The Er Ye Mountain Saint Ruin incident attracted worldwide attention.

The Saint Ruin of an alternate dimension actually opened directly on Earth? Without the lower latitudes as a buffer? This was not a good sign.

If we were to look at it from a higher perspective, the Er Ye Mountain crisis was a disaster for several Central Asian countries.

As for Hua Xia, only a corner of its northwest was affected.

From the large-scale opening of the Er Ye Mountain Saint Ruin, the sky instantly turned pitch black, until all the Er Ye Mountain Saint Ruins were destroyed, and the sky returned to normal daylight or night, the whole process only took 11 hours!

What is called the speed of a great nation?

All the troops in Da Jiang Province worked together, and the armies of the neighboring provinces rushed to help, solving the problem in a short period of time.

But to be honest, no matter how fast the army support was, no matter how quickly the country reacted, some civilians still suffered misfortune, which was unavoidable.

The Jin Hong Ju Chong (Crimson-Gold Giant Worm), such a brutal creature, could not be reasoned with.

Its sharp horns and corrosive crimson-gold liquid were truly deadly to civilians who had no Star Power or Star Skills.

Unfortunately, the Saint Ruin opened on Earth.

Fortunately, these Saint Ruins were all from Er Ye Mountain.

If it had been another kind of Saint Ruin, such as the Xue Shan Yu (Snow Mountain Domain)... the consequences would have been unimaginable.

In addition to the Crimson-Gold Giant Worms being lethal, the other creature, the Jin Hong Zhu Huo (Crimson-Gold Candlelight), was very docile, which was also why Hua Xia suffered relatively few losses.

Because of the Crimson-Gold Candlelight's timid and cowardly nature, its Star Skills would not cause any harm to people.

Therefore, when the military was clearing out the creatures from the alternate dimension, their main target was the Crimson-Gold Giant Worms. They did not specifically hunt down these cute and cowardly little guys.

This resulted in a ground full of unclaimed Crimson-Gold Candlelights in the northwestern part of Da Jiang Province after the Er Ye Mountain disaster...

They were very suitable as household pets, and the children were having a blast, catching several at a time and taking them all home to raise.

During the process of large-scale recovery and capture of the Crimson-Gold Candlelights, the soldiers did not ask the civilians to return the Crimson-Gold Candlelights they had already caught, so that now the Internet was full of photos of children in the northwestern part of Da Jiang Province showing off their pets.

It also diluted the atmosphere of the disaster a little.

Under the leadership of Er Wei (Second Tail), Jiu Wei (Ninth Tail) cleaned up the Crimson-Gold Giant Worms everywhere, and then returned to a military camp.

Shou Ye (Night Watch) apprentices Yin Ni and Fei Xue were officially promoted to Shou Ye soldiers after this Er Ye Mountain crisis.

But according to Er Wei's meaning, the two were far from qualified and needed to be tempered for a while longer.

However, the superiors insisted on promoting the two, which made it clear that the country had a great need for soldier resources.

As for Jiu Wei, Er Wei didn't know how to suppress it.

After the other two apprentices were promoted, Er Wei and Jiu Wei had no way of knowing what tasks they received. Jiu Wei didn't know which alternate dimension they would be sent to guard, and could only silently wish them well.

Er Wei did not resist the military order, and did not even say goodbye to the two disciples. He directly took the Hei Bai Zhu Huo (Black and White Candlelight) from Yin Ni's arms, and left with Jiu Wei.

Jiu Wei was still a bit sentimental. Before leaving, he waved to the two of them and said very rarely, "We'll meet again someday."

Yin Ni and Fei Xue had complicated expressions, but it could be seen that their happiness outweighed their sadness...

After all, being able to escape from the clutches of the Great Demon King Er Wei made the two ecstatic, almost setting off firecrackers to celebrate.

Er Wei handed the Black and White Candlelight to the local Star Beast Research Institute.

Jiu Wei did not stop him, but he specifically inquired about it and received a relatively reassuring answer.

The Star Beast Research Institute would do some research, but would also return the Black and White Candlelight to Jiu Wei after the research.

Jiu Wei didn't know what the research institute would do to the little guy. Would they keep body samples of the mutated Black and White Candlelight?

Would they also experiment with the mutated Star Skills? Or try to breed them?

No matter how much this kind of creature mutated, its limit would be like that, at the Bronze level, it couldn't reach the sky, so it shouldn't have much value, right?

Of course, these were all guesses. Jiu Wei was not a professional.

He was just secretly thinking that after he got the little guy back, he could give it to Little Jiang Xue as a gift.

It could be placed at home as a lamp, and it could also be used as a stress-relieving artifact to squeeze.

When it got hot in the summer, he could hold it in his arms and put it on his forehead to relieve the heat. It was simply an essential divine pet for the home.

After a few more days, Er Wei finished everything and took a flight to the Imperial Capital, saying that he was going to retrieve Xiao Xiao.

Of course, Jiu Wei had nothing to say and flew back with him.

And Jiang Xiao, the main body over here, was not idle. Since obtaining the recommendation qualification from the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University, Principal Yang and Teacher Fang were very pleased and had talked to Jiang Xiao many times.

Teacher Fang even said that he would apply for the position of team leader and personally lead the team to participate in the national team selection with Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao's little heart~ The pressure was too great!

Teacher Fang was a member of the fourth place team in the World Cup back then. If he was eliminated in the national team selection competition, it would be embarrassing.

In addition to the school's appreciation and close attention, Jiang Xiao had once again made a name for himself among his classmates!

I skipped a grade, I'm a freshman, and I'm going to participate in the national team. What about you?

To this, the students said: You're cute, you're the cutest!!!

In addition to this, Jiang Xiao also had a date...

He hesitated again and again, and finally accepted Zhao Wenlong's invitation. Xia Yan was right, although they were opponents, when going out, students from the same school always needed to take care of each other.

On the evening of April 7th, at five o'clock, as soon as the class bell rang, a cute little freshman with a black and white ink painting backpack ran out of the south gate of the school, and came to a coffee shop on the opposite snack street.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chang Wei fighting... uh, he saw Hou Mingming abusing dogs.

Hou Mingming was above average in appearance, not up to Jiang Xiao's level, and even slightly inferior to Song Chunxi, but she was better in temperament. She always wore white clothes, slightly raised her chin, and looked at people with condescending eyes, looking quite arrogant.

The young man next to her looked very kind, with a hint of doting in his eyes and a gentle smile on his face. He was whispering in Hou Mingming's ear.

Let's look at our Master Li! Ah, no, let's look at our Zhao Wenlong.

He was oblivious to everything, as steady as Mount Tai, just drinking cup after cup of tea. The honey grapefruit tea had been refilled with water several times, and it was almost tasteless, really turning into plain water...

"You're here, Little Pi." Hou Mingming was obviously more sensitive than the others, and noticed Jiang Xiao at the first moment. She smiled and waved to Jiang Xiao.

This made Jiang Xiao feel suspicious. Wu Yao's evaluation of Hou Mingming still lingered in Jiang Xiao's ears, and through observation, Jiang Xiao believed that Hou Mingming was definitely not the kind of amiable person.

Jiang Xiao couldn't figure it out. Why was she so friendly to him?

"Sit." Zhao Wenlong's words were sonorous and forceful. If he only uttered one word, he could still hide his plastic Mandarin.

Who would have thought that he would reveal his true colors in the second sentence: "Waiter, please refill the water."

The corners of Jiang Xiao's mouth twitched awkwardly. He said, "Another pot of grapefruit tea, please."

The waiter was relieved. Finally, a decent customer had arrived!

This guy named Wenlong had ordered a pot of tea when he came, and then refilled it with water for an hour...

The waiter could also tell that this young man was not easy to provoke. Nonsense, he still had bandages wrapped around his hands!

Although this guy spoke politely, his eyes were too scary. The waiter had wanted to say something a long time ago, but every time he came to refill the water, he was shocked by those fierce eyes, and in the end, he weakly dared not say a word, obediently going to pour water...

"Ink wash painting, very tasteful?" The short-haired young man opposite said with a smile. His voice was gentle, almost reminding Jiang Xiao of Li Wei Yi.

Jiang Xiao put down his ink wash landscape painting backpack. He was wearing white-soled ink wash pine and bamboo sneakers, and a white-soled ink wash plum blossom hoodie. It might seem very tasteful to outsiders.

But in reality, Jiang Xiao was just a flamboyant person...

"Hello, my name is Zhang Ren, Hou Mingming's boyfriend." Zhang Ren stood up, extended his hand, and said, "Thank you too."

"You're welcome." Jiang Xiao looked puzzled, shook hands with the other party, and accepted the thanks first, without losing out.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's confused look, Hou Mingming crossed her arms and smiled: "My mother has always disagreed with us, until the first semester, she was drawn to take the freshmen into Black Rock Mountain for military training, and after she came back, she loosened her mouth."

Jiang Xiao was slightly startled. Was it Teacher Ye Hua who was not satisfied with her son-in-law being an ordinary person?

Wow, Teacher Ye said that her daughter was a reckless Agility Warrior like Xia Yan, but she didn't say that her daughter was the top duelist at the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University?

Your daughter is called reckless???

She recklessly became the number one in the whole school?

Hou Mingming turned her head to look at Zhang Ren, and her arrogant expression softened: "Later, I inquired and found out that a little Du Nai (Poisonous Milk) had taught my mother a lesson."

Was this confirmed?

I am actually a matchmaker?

Jiang Xiao nodded, took the teacup, poured himself the newly brought honey grapefruit tea, and looked like a worldly expert.

He only heard the little Poisonous Milk sigh and say: "My side job is a medical Star Warrior, my main job is actually a matchmaker. I have many titles, the Flower of Bei Jiang, the gynecological sacred hand, etc...

If you two have any problems in your married life in the future, you can come to me at any time. From the body to the soul, there is no problem that my blessings cannot solve."

Hou Mingming: ???

Zhang Ren: "......"

Zhao Wenlong on the side couldn't help but knock on the table: "Business! Business!"

Jiang Xiao blinked: "What business?"

Zhao Wenlong took a sip of honey grapefruit tea and wiped his mouth: "The first stage of the national team selection competition, Zhong Yuan Province, the Gu Ta Zhi Dian (Ancient Pagoda Peak) alternate dimension!"

Jiang Xiao: "Ah? When was the notice issued?"

Hou Mingming: "This morning."

"This morning?" Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Don't mention it, I had two classes of Hua Xia Star Studies History and two classes of Hua Xia Legal System History this morning. My head is buzzing."

Hou Mingming: "......"

Zhao Wenlong couldn't help but say: "You can form a team!"

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. What? Can you form a team in a solo competition?

Are you not awake?
