In less than three days, the escape team finally arrived at their destination, Yongcheng.
After finally entering the city, Honda ignored the many admiring glances. He went with Xiao Wanqing, since Honda's identity was that of an 'exchange student from Japan,' and his 'home' wasn't here. He had no choice but to accept Xiao Wanqing's invitation and go with her. Originally, Xiao Wanqing's husband wanted to please her, but he was completely captivated by Honda's goddess-like appearance. This made Xiao Wanqing utterly disgusted with him, and she had no intention of returning home.
They took Honda directly to the Akaneka family's house, where he stayed.
After resting for two days, the boss of Yongcheng invited Honda and the others to have a chat. It seemed he wanted to bribe them, and Honda didn't seem to care. So he went with Ran Hongxia and the others!
"I'm going to the restroom first, you guys go ahead!" Honda said to Xie Qingmei and Ran Hongxia, sensing the movement within his body.
"Alright! Hurry up and catch up," Xiao Wanqing said to Honda.
"Okay!" Honda nodded and turned to leave the three's sight. After all, this was a military area, and with so many people around, she wouldn't get lost. Besides, they all knew Honda's strength; no one could bully her.
"This is..." Honda opened his third eye to observe his own body; his lower abdomen had begun to swell slightly. The new life was actively stirring and seemed very lively.
"Sigh!" Honda frowned, looking at his true form with a troubled expression. He had to think of something. Even when Zeus was pregnant with Athena, this didn't happen; perhaps that child was just quieter!
Now, it seems this is a lively little guy.
Honda channeled his divine power to begin nurturing the little creature. The little creature instantly calmed down, and Honda, relieved, headed towards headquarters.
Ignoring the intense stares of the crowd, Honda walked into the headquarters, which looked like a mound of earth.
"No wonder you try to hide your face. It's so alluring. Even a middle-aged man like me is captivated. If I were twenty years younger, I probably wouldn't be able to control myself... Tsk tsk, Li Jiayu, you..."
"Enough! Enough with the nonsense!"
As soon as I entered, I heard Li Jiayu's annoyed voice.
"Well! I'm late." Honda said somewhat awkwardly, looking at the two who were at odds.
Honda's shout broke the atmosphere between the two, and everyone in the room turned to look at him.
"Hiss~~" Someone gasped. Putting aside her strength, her looks alone were no less than Li Jiayu's, and what's more! Her voluptuous figure added a lot to her appeal.
"Sister Honda," Li Jiayu looked at Honda with some surprise and delight. They hadn't seen each other for several days. Today, they actually met here. She had been a little disappointed when she didn't see Honda and Ran Hongxia. She hadn't expected Honda to arrive so late!
"So it was you who killed the Black Sky Demon Worm!" Chu Taihong snapped out of his daze and sized up Honda, discovering that Honda was actually stronger than him. It was ostensibly a question, but it sounded like a statement. It seemed he had confirmed that this girl named Honda was a key fighting force.
"Yes!" Honda ignored the probing, amazed, possessive, and lustful gazes of the group. She stood calmly before this tall man, able to withstand even Gaia's pressure. What's more, this was merely a peak third-tier cultivator, and Honda's strength was not to be underestimated.
"Good, good, good! A group of excellent girls who are just as capable as any man!" Chu Taihong laughed happily. He wasn't a petty person. Rather than doubting Honda's strength, he preferred to believe in his abilities. This meant the city had gained another powerful guardian. From the moment this guy begged Li Jiayu to protect the city when he was on the verge of death, he knew he was a respectable person!
Honda "liked it instantly," but he wasn't like Li Jiayu, a stubborn and arrogant person with warped values. He was just polite and then stopped talking.
"Alright, don't be arrogant or impatient. I do have something to attend to right now, and I hope you can join the army." Chu Taihong invited very sincerely.
Honda thought it over and decided to join; he didn't have that many other commitments. Therefore, some easily obtainable powers were necessary, and it could also suppress those petty villains. Honda's agreement pleased Chu Taihong greatly, and Chu Taihong gritted his teeth and agreed to Li Jiayu's three conditions. Then, the two became major generals in the headquarters. Well, it must be said that Chu Taihong's judgment of people was very accurate. He put a lot of effort into winning over the two and suppressing the discontent of some others.
The direct appointment of Honda and Li Jiayu as major generals suggests that there's a reason he can lead this city.
Then came a shocking message: another spacequake had occurred.
"General, you and Major General Li will assist Major General Lin! You have slain a fourth-tier insect, and you have Major General Li, the Goddess of Light, with you. May you achieve swift success! I have extremely high hopes for you!"
"No problem," Honda nodded in reply, then glanced at Lin Luanqiu, whose face was flushed with excitement (of course he was excited to be fighting alongside two goddesses).
"Then please lead the way, Major General Lin!" Honda said calmly to Lin Luanqiu, snapping him out of his excited delusions.
"Yes," before Lin Luanqiu could finish being happy, Chu Taihong sent a third wheel to pour cold water on his enthusiasm.
"Very good. General Jiang's Buddhist purification technique is twice as effective against the Corpse Clan. With your cooperation and that of General Ben and the others, there shouldn't be any problems. Even if we encounter a Corpse Clan member at the peak of the Three Extremes, we won't be at a disadvantage!"
After making the final arrangements, Lin Luanqiu gave Chu Taihong a somewhat resentful look.
After the operational meeting concluded and most people had left, Lin Luanqiu turned around and addressed Honda and Li Jiayu:
"Alright, Major General Ben, Major General Li... let's get moving too. We must try to reach the spatial rift 38 kilometers away within 15 minutes... But before that, I need to go back and get something. Meet me at the arrow tower on the west wall of the city in three minutes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Luanqiu, as if to show off, pulled out a low-level third-grade longsword from somewhere. The longsword floated directly in front of him, radiating brilliant energy and light.
Lin Luanqiu leaped onto the longsword, his feet planted on the blade, and then let out a long howl:
"Riding the winds and waves, vanquishing demons across the land!"
The next moment, Lin Luanqiu, who was flying on his sword, darted out of the window and disappeared like a dazzling shooting star.
"A real lunatic," Li Jiayu glanced at the window, then at Honda.
"Let's go!" Honda took out his purple-gold gourd, enlarged it, and flew away. Li Jiayu followed suit, sitting on it, making Jiang Yueying, who wanted to talk to the two, feel somewhat awkward. She sighed, took out her lotus flower, and also flew away. Liu Yinsha and Fang Fang also transformed into mist and flew off!
The room was left empty, with no one there.
