Chapter 2294 - 869: Hard Wind Is Not as Useful as You

’Cunlü’ slowly slipped into the sea, green leaves beneath her feet carried her upon the surface.

The Deities of Teraxil were relatively friendly, thus some plants that can survive in water and grow on land were recognized by both the Goddess of the Sea and the Goddess of the Earth.

Such buoyant duckweed under her feet, although under Agleya’s control, is also gifted by the Temple of the Teraxil Goddess of the Earth to its followers.

Moreover, the Earth Divine Power is somewhat easier... even though Agleya is considered the most unique Ocean God, she still belongs to the more destructive Deities.

However, perhaps due to Hill’s significant influence, Agleya’s divine field also includes life-based laws like marine organisms.

Especially marine plants, absolutely unique.

This is distinctly different from other Sea Gods affecting marine flora and fauna... Agleya’s Divine Power can make these aquatic plants grow healthily and rapidly.

Other Sea Gods, on the other hand, provide nutrients needed for the growth of these marine plants... using other organisms transformed into nutrients to foster growth.

Of course, for the Earth Priest, the greatest benefit of using such plants is that the ocean accepts them and provides energy to them... it’s like having an Earth Divine Power charger by the sea.

This is a unique ability of their Teraxil, ’Cunlü’ searched carefully in Toril but found no similar presence.

Perhaps because in the world of Toril, everything looks harmonious, yet in reality, it is fraught with pitfalls, no one wants to associate with anyone else.

Even those Deities that appear to be closely connected are actually far apart from each other.

’Cunlü’ slowly walked towards the agreed area.

She left behind bridges of leaves wherever she passed.

That should be an island, eroded by ocean waves so much that only steep cliffs remain.

Probably after a thousand years of ocean erosion and sea wind baptism, the peaks still barely retaining some shape in the middle will turn to ashes.

But for now, in the small peaks, it provided enough space for them to set up a small camp.

’Cunlü’ arched her brow... that’s a Cloud House.

Hill’s Cloud House did indeed sell a lot back then.

But that was meant for Hill.

For the Undead Tribe, it was almost like limited-time, limited-quantity.

Hundreds of thousands fought over thousands of Cloud Houses... it sounds like a lot, but all were gone in a flash.

Moreover, those desiring weren’t just the hundreds of thousands, still millions more had no chance of purchasing any!

Of course, later on, William also provided similar goods... but factory-made ones could never be like Hill’s.

Even if both were white-based Cloud Houses, upon release, one could still see each had some different aspects.

The factory-made ones all looked the same, different colors merely changed the paint.

And the Cloud House before her clearly belonged to Hill’s products.

’Cunlü’ softly breathed in... it was a large Cloud House.

That certainly couldn’t be bought by those who came late nor by ordinary family members.

The large Cloud House required extremely high Merit Points and Friendliness, only a small portion among their Black Rose qualified.

Not to mention the Wenjian who relates with Hill later.

She gently closed her eyes, recollecting familiar faces from Youth Journey of the Wenjian World.

"Ah~ Cunlü has come." A haughty female voice rang out.

’Cunlü’s complexion quickly darkened: "Ji Lanyuan. Ha~ have you blended into another higher echelon again?

You’re really something!

It seems no one’s death impacts your career!"

"Why utter such pointless words?" ’Ji Lanyuan’ retorted with extreme sarcasm, "When you are about to step onto where I stand and become my colleague, such useless words are simply a slap to your own face, aren’t they?"

"How’s the paintbrush?" ’Cunlü’ remained unfazed, and even without touching the cloud ladder hung from the Cloud House, she smiled slightly as she asked, "I’m quite curious about her outcome!

Unfortunately, in this case, on planet tourism, we’re not focused, did she escape punishment?"

’Ji Lanyuan’ gently patted her black feather cloak and slowly sat on the ship’s side: "After Mr. Ivan recovered, he’s been attempting to extradite the paintbrush to his country, so he applied for a cross-national court.

Unfortunately, even though he was very angry, he couldn’t withstand paintbrush’s craze to demand media entry for every court session, broadcasting fully.

Paintbrush holds too many videos.

Though sanctioned multiple times by the court... she genuinely recorded all the cuts she made on people, almost broadcasting it.

Not to mention those images on the bed.

Paintbrush specifically used them as an example to prove she had not exposed Ivan’s face and private parts.

Even certain unique marks on his body, like, ah, a birthmark alongside certain organs below his navel were never shown, sufficiently proving she just wanted to head to the sea on her own."

’Cunlü’ slightly opened her mouth... can Ivan even live through this life?

Birthmarks in such places, wanting to remove them... Hmm, those two cuts from the paintbrush weren’t made in vain.

How dare Ivan operate on the head of the tyrant again, even if it’s with a laser scalpel that’s one hundred percent accurate.

"So..." Cunlü murmured.

"Ah, she’ll still be judged for injuring with a knife," Ji Lanyuan said in a strange tone, "but since the organ repaired so perfectly, it’s only considered a minor injury.

Paintbrush is still under surveillance residency.

She just needs to see a psychiatrist once a month."

Cunlü raised an eyebrow... It seems Ivan isn’t entirely without options.

Paintbrush is a bit too radical indeed; there’s definitely a mental issue there, but it’s absolutely not to the extent of a mental illness.

Presumably, Ivan put a lot of effort into having Paintbrush diagnosed as having a mental illness on his country’s planet.

"Hmm..." Ji Lanyuan suddenly chuckled, "Paintbrush was very impulsive the first two months, yelling at the doctor, but she’s calmed down recently.

To that doctor, it’s probably unfortunate!

After all, only three consecutive months of mental instability would warrant mandatory hospitalization.

Surveillance residency requires specific addresses, and unless there’s something special, the court won’t allow Paintbrush to leave."

Cunlü nodded vaguely... Ji Lanyuan’s friendliness made her a bit scared.

Mind you, back then she didn’t hesitate to help ’Old Age Striking King’ crush the chest of this guy.

This amiable Ji Lanyuan, she really has no desire to meet him.

"Don’t doubt my stance." Ji Lanyuan smiled joyfully, "I’m just pleased that you can become my partner."

She joyfully spread her hands: "See, doesn’t that prove my point?

No matter the field, if someone becomes a dictator for too long, they’ll naturally face a powerful challenge.

Thus, suitable competitors are the real safety guarantee.

Heh~ Look at Proud Sky Alliance, enemies they face ’cause they don’t follow my plan, none are good things.

Each one more despicable than the last!"

There was clearly someone cursing inside the Cloud House behind Ji Lanyuan.

But the lady appeared indifferent.

Cunlü couldn’t help but crossed her arms: "They’re so tolerant of you... Could it be, aside from you, there’s no legitimate fighting power?"

Ji Lanyuan, able to manage the Black Rose, naturally isn’t weak in combat.

’Old Age Striking King’ could surely spar with this person, but Cunlü lacked the confidence to say she could beat Ji Lanyuan one-on-one.

After all, she’s purely from the Healing System.

Of course, it wasn’t easy for Ji Lanyuan to take her out either.

So, even though Cunlü secretly guarded herself, she wasn’t afraid to show it outwardly.

As for those hidden behind... If they really wanted to do something to her, they wouldn’t let such a Ji Lanyuan lead the way.

Cunlü understood Ji Lanyuan somewhat... She’s a person who is strict with others but lenient with herself.

Her every action is about longing for freedom and pursuit, but when others do the same, it’s greed and evil.

And those who can secretly bully and tempt Cunlü and Hard Wind, their style must belong to what Ji Lanyuan finds distasteful.

Remember, she even saw Snow Cloud Peak as a dictator!

Obviously, despite having many ideas about this game, they can’t even find mercenaries stronger than those with Ji Lanyuan.

Cunlü slightly pursed her lips... In other words, no matter what Lu Huayu and Zhu Meili muddle in here, those two just dropped a few arrows secretly but didn’t plan on formally participating.

Even though these aggressive people seem genuinely capable of driving Proud Sky Alliance to collapse... At least on the surface it seems so.

Cunlü couldn’t help but sneer inwardly: Although those two dream of taking out Snow Cloud Peak and Proud Sky Alliance, in reality, being tormented by others would make them loathe those stretching arms outside the game.

If these enemies truly take what those two offered as trustworthy answers, they’ll surely die miserably.

As for Ji Lanyuan suddenly showing friendliness to her... Cunlü slightly narrowed her eyes.

She believes Ji Lanyuan’s hatred for those people is real, but she also believes, for Ji Lanyuan, the best outcome is if those people perished together with Proud Sky Alliance.

"Why aren’t you coming up?" Ji Lanyuan shook her leg, laughingly asked.

"Is there anything I must go up for?" Cunlü retorted with a sneer, "No matter what you want me to do, I’m unwilling to do it!

It’s my unfortunate fate to finally marry a good man, and he got caught by you.

But why should I sacrifice my interests for his company?

Aren’t you supposed to seek out Hard Wind?"

"Too bad, Hard Wind isn’t as useful as you." Ji Lanyuan quickly replied, "You are unquestionably the number one game beauty!"
