Chapter 3977 - Fish Candy From the Emperor
After Tianming had killed all the wonderians and pocketed their essences, he noticed that the beautiful Mushan Xue was long gone. "What a peak talent. With a 90-crest beast, she must also have 90-fold-simulacrum totems!" Though he respected her, he didn't envy her. She was around two or three hundred years older than him, so Tianming would most likely be stronger than her at that age.
"Even though asking for help like that might’ve alerted our enemies, I've managed to forge some kind of connection with the flameyellow voidkin at the very least." It was a decent start overall.
He used quite a few ninelives fruits to heal Jiang Lincheng and the others, gradually helping them recover their human forms. Though they managed that, they seemed really weak and terrified, seeming dispirited even after recovering.
"What... what was that just now?" Jiang Lincheng muttered.
"Try guessing," Tianming said.
"You little...!" Jiang Xiaobai looked at Tianming, her heart beating faster. "You lied to us! You said you were from one of the orbiters, but you're actually a native of the Ancestral World! Was that your mother?!"
Tianming almost did a spit take. "Hey, don't slander her like that! She isn’t even five hundred years old. Didn't you notice the absence of the Heavenly Dao's punishment?"
He didn't bother clarifying his identity, however. It didn't matter if he was an orbiter or a native. "Brother Cheng, what’re your plans?"
Jiang Lincheng discussed it with the rest and said, "Since we got hurt, we should pull back somewhat. Let's go back to the Primordial Sands and recuperate. We'll return after some time."
"Your rest will be well deserved. You’ve already done very well," Tianming said.
