CHAPTER 312: CHAPTER 196: PREPARATIONS FOR BATTLE, YAGUBA’S GRAND FEAST PLAN

[Blue Arc: By the way, let me warn you first, don’t get close to my brother.]

[Black Cocoon: Got it, Mr. Electric Mouse, go and cook for your dear brother.]

"If you don’t cook, what am I going to eat?" Gu Wenyu muttered, putting away his spare phone and turning to look out the floor-to-ceiling window.

The giant sunset was slowly sinking below the city’s horizon, and the evening breeze carried the sound of children playing inside. He stared blankly at the crimson sky for a moment, then leaned back against the headboard and closed his eyes amid the gradually diminishing cicada chirps.

On the other side, because the sedative effects had not yet worn off, his eyelids felt as if they were glued shut. His limbs seemed not to belong to him, too heavy to lift.

This feeling was exactly like entering Mu Long’s Superpower Domain, suffocatingly oppressive.

The perspective from the Second Body of Xia Pingzhou was similar: pitch-black, with whispers like sleep-talking, not sure if it’s Ayase Origami talking to him by the bed.

Due to the absence of a healing-type Power User and relying solely on modern medical treatment, Xia Pingzhou was unlikely to wake up anytime soon, which allowed Ji Minghuan to breathe a sigh of relief, indirectly reducing his brain’s burden.

So at this moment, the only thing in his mind was a shark that ate and slept, then woke and ate again.

In the past two days, nothing unusual happened with the Third Prince, as Li Qingping was guarding him, no assassins dared to visit the Floating Castle.

Currently, the Third Body is still in the preparation phase. In the coming days, all that’s needed is to keep eating, acting like a glutton, calmly waiting for the Whale Terrarium’s decisive battle on August 1st.

At that time, a bloody storm is bound to arise.

He was thinking when suddenly a knocking sound reached his ears.

Gu Wenyu opened his eyes, extended his arm, silently turned on the room lights, and the white fluorescent tube lit up.

The "knock knock" sound paused for a moment, and Gu Qiye’s voice came from outside the door: "Wenyu, are you home? I’m about to prepare dinner; you can come downstairs in half an hour."

"Yes, I’m here; go ahead and cook," Gu Wenyu said, "Just in time, I’m hungry."

"Okay, Xiaomai is sleeping. You should help wake her up later," Gu Qiye instructed.

"No problem, I’ll make sure to drag that pig down," Gu Wenyu said coolly.

Outside the door, Gu Qiye hesitated and said, "Uh... don’t be too rough; she seems a bit tired."

Please, shouldn’t I be the one who’s tired? Playing both parents, Gu Wenyu’s eye twitched slightly, thinking.

But he said out loud, "Alright, alright, if she doesn’t want to eat, I won’t bother her."

"Yeah, no need to inform Dad, you don’t have to message to call him back, this way the atmosphere at the table will be better too."

"So filial... truly our Blue Arc comrade," Gu Wenyu sarcastically thought, listening to the footsteps fade away outside, then slowly closed his eyelids, long-unseen, synchronizing consciousness with the Third Body, Yaguba.

....

...

The Whale Terrarium’s time did not differ much from China Li Jing, so it was also nearing night over there.

Yaguba opened his eyes from the Crystal Ball; before him was the courtyard of the Floating City, standing amidst the blood-red twilight were two rows of maple trees, with fiery red leaves swirling and falling.

He glanced sideways to find Cezar and Li Qingping training in the courtyard.

For two whole days, these two seemed possessed, doing nothing but eating and sleeping, wisely staying in the castle, to avoid stepping into traps set by the Empress and the two Princes.

"Your Highness, you’ve broken through," Li Qingping suddenly said, "This makes you a C-level Anecdote Envoy."

He paused, "A C-level Anecdote Envoy can at most bind and use three high-level anecdotes, and generational-class anecdotes are limited to two; you already have one ’Christmas Sled’ fragment, so only one more generational-class can be bound."

Cezar exhaled deeply, gazing at the anecdotal starlight flowing over his heart, slowly lifting his azure eyes and giving Li Qingping a smile:

"That’s great... faster than we imagined."

"Indeed, I expected Your Highness to advance quickly, but not this quickly," Li Qingping said with emotion, "I suppose it was my fault before; had I secretly taught you some cultivation techniques without the King’s knowledge, perhaps it wouldn’t be this dire now."

Cezar shook his head, "In the past, my health was poor, and Father worried that the burden would be too great on me, which is understandable. I understand him."

"So you’ve broken through? It’s only been less than two days since I started cultivating, is it really this fast?" Yaguba tilted his head, squinting at the Crystal Ball, peering at Li Qingping, "You’re not tricking the kid again, are you, Li Qingping?"

Li Qingping turned to the little shark, "You’ve been asleep for almost a day and a night now, finally awake?"

Cezar gave it a glance and sighed with relief, "Yaguba, I almost thought you slept yourself to death."

"I just overate fragments the day before yesterday, only indigestion, envy me, for this is the quality of a shark’s sleep, you humans surely can’t match my sleep capability,"

Yaguba smugly tugged at his lips, showing a row of small sharp teeth.

"Gluttonous shark," Li Qingping remarked.

"Trashy Red Dragon," the little shark retorted.

Yaguba turned to Cezar, "Looks like you’re progressing rapidly, Cezar."

Cezar thought for a moment, "Hmm, I’m considering whether to find a chance to enter the Royal Court Hall, to see if there’s an opportunity to bind another generational-class anecdote."
