Chapter 17 Offense and Defense Combined
I immediately picked up my gun, excitedly showing it to Jiang Yan: “Jiang Yan, quickly take a look at this.”
“Mm.” Jiang Yan took the gun from my hand, examining it carefully: “Beautiful, this gun is really beautiful.” His teal eyes also shone with admiration, “But a gun doesn’t look good on a girl…”
Huh? Felt like trouble, I quickly took it back, grinning sheepishly: “Hehe, I like it, I like it.” As I spoke, I hid my gun, Jiang Yan, this gun, I absolutely will not let you have it.
He looked at me and raised an eyebrow: “Xiao Lan, let’s discuss something.”
“No need to discuss.” I refused directly.
He curled his lips in a smile: “Do you know what I want to discuss?”
I hugged the gun in my arms: “You want my gun, right? Not giving it to you, you can pick anything else.”
He chuckled, suddenly reaching out to pinch a tiny bit of my clothes. I looked at him warily, and he narrowed his eyes in a smile: “Please, Xiao Lan, Oppa knows you’re the kindest~~~~”
What the! Jiang Yan! After all, you’re the renowned Jiang Clan’s descendant, you’re older than me, is it really okay for you to act so coquettishly with me?
And Oppa! Big bro, can you at least make your face look more ruddy? With your current deathly pale complexion and zombie-like dark color, you’re going to scare the daylights out of me!
“Let’s take a look at the treasures too~~~” Mao Mao cheerfully bounded in, followed by Qing Ming and Si Yinuo. Mao Mao plopped down next to me, looking curious, “What treasures are there!”
I directly flipped the middle finger at her: “Look!”
Si Yinuo and Qing Ming also sat down, and I raised my middle finger high in front of them, even walking around them: “This is the eternal guardian ring!”
“Eternal!” Si Yinuo peeked out from behind Xiao Bai, his hand suddenly reaching out and grabbing my hand. His hand was unusually cold, and just his grip sent a shiver down my whole body!
This was the first time Si Yinuo had shown such excitement, his eyes slowly widening under his long bangs: “It really is…”
Suddenly, the eternal azure glow flashed, as if to protect me, activating. Si Yinuo’s silver pupils flashed, and he immediately retracted his hand, lowering his face to hug Xiao Bai tightly, as if he had been scared: “Scared, scared me to death…”
The azure light formed a small shield covering just my hand, and it seemed the size of the shield could change.
“Amazing! Why were such treasures abandoned?” Mao Mao asked puzzledly, curiously reaching out to lightly touch the light barrier, which was impenetrable.
Jiang Yan crossed his arms, his expression grave: “Because the Godly Clan’s technology is also constantly improving, more and more protective gear no longer needs emotions to drive them.”
“Emotions?” Mao Mao became even more confused.
Si Yinuo quietly said from behind Xiao Bai, his head lowered: “That is… emotions… in the past, many treasures… were driven by emotions…”
Jiang Yan nodded at Si Yinuo’s words: “Correct, for example, Xiao Lan’s Rose Armor uses the emotions of disgust and hatred to drive it, the Eternal is driven by fear and terror, and furthermore, once she has a strong desire to protect in her heart, the power the Eternal displays will be even stronger!”
Oho, again with the Rose Armor and the Eternal Guardian, I’m no longer afraid of death at all, it’s protecting me from the inside and out, so thoughtful, comfortable and reassuring~~~~
Huh? That line sounds like an ad for a feminine hygiene brand?
“Wow…” Mao Mao listened with her mouth agape, “How incredible…”
Jiang Yan smiled wryly: “It’s normal for you not to understand, because in the era you were born, there are no longer these spiritual treasures.”
“I see…” Mao Mao scratched her head, and judging from her expression, she still didn’t quite understand. She then smiled, “Xiao Lan Jiejie, quick, let us see the other treasures!”
I became proud, slowly taking the gun out from my embrace: “Look!”
Mao Mao’s eyes widened again: “Tacky gold!”
“I’m not sure about this gun…”
“Death God!” Before Jiang Yan could finish, Xiao Nuo’s exclamation came. I was surprised to look at him, and he was also surprisingly looking at the gun in my hand. Strange, even Jiang Yan, the encyclopedia of the Six Realms, didn’t recognize this gun, but why did Xiao Nuo recognize it at a glance?
Xiao Nuo slowly peeked out from behind Xiao Bai: “How can the Death God be here…”
His surprised expression also caught Jiang Yan’s attention.
Qing Ming blinked, scratching his head: “Death God?”
Si Yinuo’s expression suddenly became serious. He retreated behind Xiao Bai, glancing sideways at Jiang Yan: “Jiang Yan, this is the Death God’s Gun, you should know its function…”
Jiang Yan began to scrutinize Si Yinuo, and after Si Yinuo spoke, he lowered his face further, covering all his expressions with his long white hair, not even letting his gaze be seen.
Jiang Yan’s gaze slowly moved away from Si Yinuo’s face, and his words also followed: “I’ve only heard of the Death God’s Gun…” He also looked somewhat surprised at the gun in my hand, “Legend has it that it disappeared during the Underworld War, it was once the signature weapon of a great general by the side of the Underworld King, but in that Underworld War, that great general also sacrificed himself, and the Death God’s Gun has been missing since then. If this is really the Death God’s, how did it end up here?” Jiang Yan stroked his chin, deeply puzzled.
Qing Ming turned his head to look at Si Yinuo, but Si Yinuo continued to hide behind Xiao Bai without a word.
“It’s very possible that after the Underworld War, some merchants from the Six Realms picked it up, but didn’t recognize it, so it started circulating in the market, and finally ended up in the Immortal Realm’s supermarket, it’s been a thousand years after all… Mm! It’s very likely that’s the case!” Jiang Yan nodded decisively!
“A treasure from a thousand years ago?” Mao Mao’s eyes widened even more.
Jiang Yan furrowed his brows: “Don’t think the older the treasure, the better. The older the treasure, the more it will only listen to its master, otherwise, they’ll be more temperamental, and that’s precisely why they were abandoned by modern people, because they have their own personalities and are not very obedient.”
“I see, I understand now.” Mao Mao finally nodded in understanding.
I continued hugging my gun: “So what happens if they become disobedient?”
Jiang Yan’s eyes flashed with a chill: “They’ll kill their own master!”
What the fuck?!?!
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled: “Don’t worry, don’t worry~ You’re so cute, they won’t want to kill you. At most, they’ll just malfunction when you need them.”
I stroked my chest in relief, looking at the gun in my hand again. No matter its temperament, I just like it. I rubbed my face against it: “It’s okay, it’s okay, I just like things with personality. Oh right, how do you use it?”
As soon as I asked, Jiang Yan’s expression became troubled again: “This… I’m not too sure either, I heard it’s driven by love.”
“Love!” I said dejectedly, scratching my head, “Then it looks like I can only use it to scare people…”
“Familial love… Friendship… is also love…” Xiao Nuo suddenly spoke up in a sinister tone, everyone looked at him again. He peeked out from behind Xiao Bai, raising his face slightly, his silver eyes gleaming, “As long as Xiao Lan Jiejie… has love for us in your heart… and want to replenish our blood… just aim the gun at us and shoot—” Xiao Nuo dragged out the last three words in a long, eerie tone, making him sound more ghostly, like a hoarse scream from the Underworld. As he spoke, the corners of his mouth stretched wide, full of malice, his shimmering gaze seeming eager, as if he couldn’t wait for me to shoot him.
I grinned mischievously: “Okay!” I immediately raised the gun.
Instantly, Xiao Nuo jumped up, hiding behind Xiao Bai: “No! If the Death God’s Gun is fired at a normal person, they will be injured!”
I was stunned, then excitedly looked at Xiao Nuo: “Does this mean the Death God’s Gun can be used for attack!”
“Of course!” Xiao Nuo seemed frightened, his words becoming more fluid, “You, you, you don’t aim at me, the higher the god rank, the purer the bloodline, the greater its destructive power.”
“You! Said! What!” I could almost say I was on the verge of ecstasy!
Immediately, Jiang Yan also grabbed Xiao Nuo, looking at him seriously: “What you said is true!”
Xiao Nuo looked at Jiang Yan fearfully, then at the gun I was pointing at him, and finally nodded from behind Xiao Bai: “Yes…”
Jiang Yan directly released Xiao Nuo and looked at the Death God’s Gun in my hand: “So, its destructive power against Fu Su is stronger than against Mo Ming?”
Si Yinuo cautiously moved aside, sitting behind Qing Ming’s massive body, only daring to peek out his head and nod: “Yes… Its effect on mortals… is just a punch… but on the Godly Clan… it’s fatal… However… the prerequisite is…” Si Yinuo glanced at me carefully.
“What’s the prerequisite?” I asked impatiently!
Si Yinuo looked at me carefully again, lowering his face and speaking in a barely audible voice: “You have to hit them…”
Si Yinuo stabbed my weak point, I was too busy showing off and forgot that I’m a pure mortal. Damn, just thinking about Mo Ming and the others, the children of gods and demons, their speed is like whoosh, gone in an instant, where am I going to hit them?
Looks like I can only wait until they’re injured and then shoot them to replenish their blood.
The little shopping cart in the supermarket didn’t introduce it wrong, the Death God’s Gun really can replenish blood.
Mm!
Good!
From now on, I, Xia Xiao Lan, will be the team’s healer, if you need milk, come to me~~~~~
