Chapter 697 Huh?

Sitting at the edge of the crowd, Shen Shuibi looked up at the sky blankly.

For Shen Shuibi, it has been hundreds of years since she left Li Qi.

Hundreds of years, for her, is not too much, but not too little either.

After all, she is more than 10,000 years old. If the difference in the speed of time caused by some wonders in Luofu Mountain is taken into account, she can be about 15,000 to 16,000 years old.

This is still very young for a fifth-grade, and a little too young. Because of this, Shen Shuibi is also a little sister in the current palm killing team.

Although she is actually the second strongest one here.

The team she is carrying out the mission in front of her is a combination of several war zone commanders, all of whom are the strongest palm killers, and the mission they are carrying out is also top secret.

In order to put together this team, these war zone commanders each found ways to free up a lot of power from their own palm killers. For example, Boyue threw all the palm killing tasks to Li Qi, and then transferred other people to this team.

As for the mission they were carrying out, it was a big plan. Shen Shuibi even only knew part of the plan. The part she was responsible for was to build a line of defense for the Yin force.

This was difficult, but after so many resources invested by the palm killer and the war zone commander, it finally ended without any danger.

There were many difficulties and stories in the middle, and they also experienced many battles and adventures, and even encountered humane sieges, and the casualties were not low.

However... after hundreds of years, now, this mission has been completed, and all the survivors are gathering to say goodbye.

This simple banquet did not have any prepared delicacies and drinks, only some food brought by everyone, all very ordinary, and some even plum flavored fasting pills.

After all, not every fifth-grade will bring food with them, unlike Li Qi.

Shen Shuibi sat alone on the edge of the party, looking at the defense line she had built hundreds of years ago.

It was a huge interstellar Great Wall, a part of a grand project, similar to a humane war fortress, but the technology used was not the same.

This is the line of defense of the Yin power. Naturally, most of the creators are women.

Just like the little bastard, most of the lives born with Yin power are women, so this place is basically the same as the girls' dormitory now.

However, there are still some men who practice Yin power. They are also among them, and they seem to be quite popular and not rejected.

However, these things have nothing to do with Shen Shuibi. She is as lonely and silent as ever. What she likes to do most is to be in a daze.

But at this time, a fifth-grade palm killer came to Shen Shuibi with a glass of wine and said, "Huh, finally got it done. This is really difficult. You are a very active person at work. Why do you shrink in such a place when you have a party?"

"Nothing, I don't like too many people." Shen Shuibi looked at the other party and said so.

The person in front of me is called Jiao. She is a humanoid race, but there are some differences. She is very slender, her waist is only the size of a fist, and her fingers are only as thick as chopsticks. The facial features are not human features, but similar to... snow cicadas. The whole body is snow-white, slightly translucent, and emits a faint blue-white fluorescence, just like that kind of sculpture, but it has a considerable beauty, not ugly at all, giving people a feeling of "elf".

Jiao comes from a fourth-grade world, which is also a world that follows the witchcraft. She is the incarnation of Taoism bred by the natural spirit of one of the terrains, and finally chose to join this war.

"You are always like this, it's hard to imagine... You can still find a husband in this state. What kind of person can be with you in such indifference?" Jiao sighed.

She is the only person who has established a "friend" relationship with Shen Shuibi over the years, because Rabbit is too lonely and indifferent, and always stupid. Only people with gentle personalities like Jiao spent more than a hundred years to talk to her.

Then it became like this.

"He... doesn't care about these things." Shen Shuibi thought, pondered for a while, and then said so.

"I seem to be able to imagine how you two get along." Jiao shook his head, his expression somewhat helpless.

It is indeed possible to imagine, there are only a few situations.

Either he is a self-familiar, thick-skinned man, no matter how cold he is, he doesn't care, and he clings to him shamelessly, and a good girl is afraid of a clinging man, and he takes down an iceberg like Shen Shuibi.

After all, in Jiao's opinion, although Shen Shuibi is cold and aloof, there is no subjective malice or rejection. If you get familiar with him, you will find that the essence of this coldness is actually stupidity. If there is really someone who can withstand hundreds or thousands of years of ignoring and still persist, then maybe he can really be taken down.

Or he is a dull person like Shen Shuibi. The two of them just sit opposite each other, and they are bored together for thousands of years. They get used to each other being next to each other, so they fall in love with each other over time and naturally come together.

But no matter what the situation is, it seems very dull.

But it is true that Shen Shuibi is a dull person.

"What do you imagine?" Shen Shuibi suddenly asked at this time.

"Well... probably like this." Jiao thought about it, organized his words, and told Shen Shuibi the two situations he imagined.

After listening, Rabbit suddenly chuckled.

This smile stunned Jiao for a moment.

ah? Did she laugh?

This is a rare thing, I have never seen her expression like this in the past few hundred years.

"You are so wrong, he is not like this." Shen Shuibi said.

This made Jiao even more surprised. This was the first time she had seen a rare situation in hundreds of years. This lonely Menghu Yuejing actually took the initiative to stir up the topic.

So, she immediately said: "I'm all ears."

"Actually, there's nothing nice to hear. It's just that... what he said is different from what you said. Our initial contact actually started from a coincidence." Shen Shuibi smiled and started to tell about Li Qi from then on.

Jiao listened carefully.

She found that in Shen Shuibi's description, the man named Li Qi seemed to have a certain degree of strange temperament. When she was with him, she would always talk more than outside.

At first, Shen Shuibi didn't think there was anything special about him, but surprisingly, she didn't hate being around him, and she was very used to it. She felt... at peace with being around her family.

This sense of peace of mind filled up the panic and confusion that followed the destruction of Mount Luofu.

Yes, peace of mind.

Well, Li Qi didn't pursue her blindly, but he didn't spend hundreds of years in a daze with her. He was just normal, like a mortal, taking Shen Shuibi on a trip in the Baiyue area, which was nothing unusual.

"It sounds surprisingly ordinary and normal." Jiao thought about it seriously and then said with a smile.

Yes, judging from Shen Shuibi's description, although he is a very gentle and simple person, this gentleness gives people a very ordinary sense of security.

Shen Shuibi nodded: "It's normal, but An Xin, I don't know if it's intentional. Anyway, he basically never encounters anything I don't like, except sometimes... he likes to pull my tail."

"Okay, that's the end of the topic." Jiao immediately made a stop gesture.

With Shen Shuibi's confused and dull temperament, I'm afraid that if I continue talking, I'm going to hear some secrets in her boudoir, so I'd better not do this.

"Well, although he gives people an ordinary feeling, in fact... he is quite powerful. He is not as ordinary as he looks." Shen Shuibi said with a smile.

"Quite powerful? For you to make such an evaluation, I'm afraid you really have two brushes." Jiao said, and then asked: "What ability does he have?"

"If you insist on asking what his abilities are...then the most outstanding thing about him should be that he practices very quickly, right?" Shen Shuibi thought for a moment and answered seriously.

Jiao laughed dumbly, feeling a little humorous.

If you practice very quickly, what kind of ability is this?

This is the position of Palm Killer. Among the people here, who is not a super genius, who is not in his own civilization, or even the group of people who practice very quickly in this universe?

Among these Palm Killers, there are many people who have been cultivating at the age of three and have reached the top level at the age of ten. In terms of talent, these Palm Killers have already surpassed 99% of people.

Seeing Jiao's expression, Shen Shuibi shook his head repeatedly: "It's not what you think. He is really... very, very fast."

Rabbit explained to Jiao with a serious expression: "It only took him about a thousand years to reach the fifth level of cultivation."

"Huh——!?" Jiao lengthened his tone and made a strange sound.

"One thousand years, fifth grade!? Wait, what does this mean? When he first met you, you were fifth grade and he was still ninth grade?" Jiao asked in disbelief.

"Yes, so it will be soon." Shen Shuibi said with a smile.

To be honest, Jiao couldn't believe it.

But Shen Shuibi is a person who doesn't like lying. Besides, she wouldn't lie about this kind of thing, right?

Jiao said with some sigh: "Peaceful, gentle, quiet, knowledgeable, kind, and then promoted to the fifth level in a thousand years... I am a little curious, what kind of person can gather so many qualities in himself."

Of course, she was just talking. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and she didn't think that man would really be so good.

"It's almost time. When the things here are finished, we can see him. It's been a long time." Shen Shuibi said, and continued to look up at the sky.

A really long time.

A little bit, I miss him.

Jiao just smiled, then chose to stand up and say goodbye to Shen Shuibi.

When I went to see her just now, I was just worried that she would be isolated and unhappy by the crowd. Now I see that Shen Shuibi is actually quite happy with it, and there are people with whom she has truly established a close relationship, so naturally I feel relieved.

This kind of person who lives in his own world... is pretty good. I'm a little curious about how she gets along with that Li Qi. Does she have the same attitude towards her husband?

Thinking of this, Jiao entered the crowd. She was already very popular and was good at dealing with people, so he was able to become friends with Shen Shuibi despite her temper.

As for Rabbit, she didn't think about that from beginning to end, and she didn't know the other person's intentions. She kept her appearance from the beginning to the end.

The things are done, are you going back soon?

I wonder if Li Qi is tired after carrying on the palm killing mission for so long?

Shen Shuibi was thinking about her own affairs and completely ignored her interpersonal relationships, and didn't care whether her relationship with these people was good or not.

To her, these things didn't matter.

The banquet ended with everyone celebrating happily. In fact, it took less than an hour in total. Everyone just celebrated briefly, and Shen Shuibi stayed alone at the edge and waited until the end.

Then, news came from everyone's "alliance".

A fourth-grade person will come to pick them up. All the arrangements have been completed. In the next few decades, they will see with their own eyes what they are responsible for.

Others were excited about this. They also wanted to know what kind of project was responsible for so many war zone commands, confidential operations, and so many Zhangs.

However, Shen Shuibi didn't feel anything because it didn't matter to her, but she was also very happy because she could finally go back.

My daughter and Li Qi should be waiting for me, right?

Thinking of this, she also became happy.

Jiaoze breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she came. Now she can go back safely.

Everyone quietly waited for someone to send them away. Although the fifth-grade can travel through the void, it takes time after all.

Only powerful people above the fourth rank can really travel quickly, instead of spending thousands or tens of thousands of years wandering slowly in the void.

Not long after, an indescribable breath appeared here.

There was no sense of oppression as imagined, on the contrary, this breath was very peaceful, but one could still feel a suffocating feeling of tearing reality apart.

The real world that the fifth rank people relied on was ruthlessly torn apart by this breath.

Whether it was the limit of the heavenly way or the physical constants and chemical properties that they relied on, they were all torn apart at this moment.

It was not a change, the fifth rank could also achieve a certain degree of change, this was a complete tearing apart, here, the laws of the real world completely turned into nothingness, and a brand new reality enveloped this place.

It's just... this brand new reality is actually not that different from the real world, so they can still understand it.

But at this time, Shen Shuibi suddenly felt something. She tilted her head and said in confusion: "Li... Qi?"

As she spoke, Li Qi's figure emerged and appeared beside her, scratching her nose: "You recognized this? I deliberately changed my breath."

"Because I am familiar with you, and you are promoted so fast... I just told someone that you are promoted quickly." Shen Shuibi said naturally, without any unfamiliarity.

But Jiao's eyelids twitched.

Wait.

This is Li Qi?

Ah?

Why is he a fourth-grade?

To say that he is fast in cultivation, it is too fast! (End of this chapter)
