Chapter 682 - 360
"Uncle, wait for me!"
Bailuo caught up with his uncle, only to find the old man quite casual, as if he had anticipated everything, "You really live up to your name, I feel much better now."
The uncle was a master of psychology, and with just a casual remark, he could be immensely helpful to Bailuo.
"Hmm?"
The uncle was taken aback, "What did I do?"
"Wasn’t it you who told me to follow my heart?"
"Did I?"
The uncle’s ability to play dumb was as formidable as ever, "I just said something off the cuff."
Nobody believes that, you crafty old man.
"Who are we going to meet first?"
Bailuo didn’t dwell on the question, eager to know where his uncle was taking him.
"There’s a gathering in the Holy City tonight, most of the Masters of Miracles will be there, except for the Empress of the East and others," the uncle said, "It’s a good opportunity, I have a few old friends I’d like to introduce you to."
"A gathering?"
"Chubby Simpleton told me about it," the uncle said, "You know our relationship."
The uncle’s charm was irresistible to both men and women; if Chubby Simpleton were female, he would undoubtedly elope with the uncle, just like Clearspring.
"But isn’t the gathering hosted by the Emperor Candidate?"
"It was something Feiya came up with," the uncle said softly, "Chubby Simpleton personally took action, there won’t be any loopholes for the Kings to exploit afterwards."
"Wow."
Chubby Simpleton was really powerful; he was truly the first among his contemporaries, not just in name. Haven’t you seen even Dumu’an, who holds Li Guang, taking a place beneath Chubby Simpleton as the Emperor Candidate?
"Aren’t we going to do anything about the Emperor Candidate?"
"Chubby Simpleton no longer has the power to intervene," the uncle said, "He lacks military forces, and has no Miracle Territories under his command. The Emperor Candidate is the leader of the Western Sacred, and he wields tremendous influence there."
"Dumu’an really is something."
The two were conversing through a Miracle Contract, undetectable to outsiders, so Bailuo didn’t hide his thoughts, "But this means we can’t provoke him now, can we?"
It was okay for Bailuo to be displeased or to consider him an enemy, but with so much at stake for the Yatun Duchy, he dared not risk the lives of the children in a confrontation with the Emperor Candidate.
"Then we bide our time."
The uncle said, "The Sacred will eventually split, and when it collapses, the Emperor Candidate, without allies, will be vulnerable, even if he shows his true face. We stand a chance of defeating him."
Li Guang was indeed powerful, but as a Supreme Tier Miracle Object, the cost of using it must be significant.
Bailuo wanted to ask his senior sister, but unfortunately, she was unwilling to speak.
However, Bailuo guessed that Dumu’an probably couldn’t control Li Guang either; their relationship was likely a partnership at best.
"I dare not use Twilight, and he dares not use Li Guang."
"Without counting the Divine Artifacts," Bailuo said, "it’s quite evident who will come out on top."
Yet Dumu’an was no longer Bailuo’s greatest foe. His real adversary was his senior sister, who was about to become the Queen. That was the challenge Bailuo was soon to face.
As much as he liked to talk big, Bailuo didn’t really know what to do when it came down to it.
"Forget all that, do you remember what I’ve taught you?"
"The boat will straighten itself when it reaches the bridge?"
Bailuo retorted, "That’s actually something I taught you."
"Same difference."
The uncle disregarded Bailuo’s comment. Yours and mine, the uncle thought, ’I’m yours through and through,’ do we need to split hairs?
The two arrived at a palace in the Holy City, where many Ningfu Female Immortals were serving the Kings who had come.
The Child of Miracle had their own circle and wasn’t there.
"There’s quite a lot of stuff."
At a glance, it seemed like a grand feast, filled with various delicious delicacies that Bailuo couldn’t name.
"Those are dimensional creatures."
"Dimensional creatures can be eaten?"
"Why not?"
Uncle said, "The bodies of dimensional creatures are entirely made up of various elements and laws, just like drinking water for humans, it’s no big deal."
Moreover, some dimensional creatures descend to the material plane, thus affecting a part of life. Enjoy more content from NovelBin.Côm
These lives undergo evolution and gain the power of dimensions.
In the eyes of the Masters of Miracles, they are interesting pets and livestock, and being eaten by a Master of Miracles is their honor.
"There’s an Emperor Candidate in the Southern Continent who is a foodie," Uncle said. "I heard that his greatest hobby is exploring dimensions and tasting powerful Dimensional Sovereigns."
"Treating Dimensional Sovereigns as food..."
Bailuo also had such ability, but he felt that this was just too wasteful.
To catch a Dimensional Sovereign, of course, you should turn them into one of your own, not eat them. Are you sure you’re not joking?
"You wander around here; I’ll go find someone."
"Take your time."
After speaking, Bailuo headed towards the dining table closest to him.
The banquet was a buffet style; Kings could take whatever they wanted at will, because no matter how much was taken, that much would be replenished. The house of an Emperor Candidate was vast and wealthy, so they could easily afford it.
’If I ever host a meeting in our Yatun Duchy, I’ll definitely do it more extravagantly than the Emperor Candidates.’
Thinking this, Bailuo found a spot to sit down and started tasting the roasted meat on the plate, which he couldn’t name.
"Hello, may I disturb you for a moment?"
As Bailuo was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard someone call out to him.
He turned around and saw a girl with long black hair, standing behind him. However, he didn’t recognize her. "You are...?"
The girl was slender and had fair skin, with a facial structure similar to Easterners like Xiao Bai and the Lu Wei Family.
But compared to them, she seemed to match the aesthetics of the people in the Miracle New Continent even more.
The Miracle would optimize the genes of all beings, and the Kings were among the best, so Bailuo wasn’t shocked by her looks.
What he now observed was her temperament, the only thing that could make someone with his level of face blindness remember her.
"You look familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
"Me?"
Bailuo quickly straightened up his appearance. Everyone here was a Miracle Lord, so he couldn’t afford to be disrespectful. "Hello, I am the Lord of Yatun Duchy. My name is Bailuo."
"Yatun..."
The girl paused for a moment, then suddenly covered her mouth in surprise.
Her black dress clung to her figure, perfectly displaying the lady’s grace and elegance. She had a noble air, but not as aloof or dominating as the Female Emperor or senior sisters. Instead, she had the sweetness and approachability of a kindergarten teacher.
"I apologize for my rudeness. No wonder I found you familiar. Now I see."
"You know me?"
"I’ve long admired your reputation," the girl said with some restraint. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is ’Shi Xiyu · Yue,’ I am the Miracle Lord of Star Night. You can call me Xiao Yue, or Shi Xiyu, either is fine."
"Demon King City in the labyrinth?!"
The name Shi Xiyu was not new to Bailuo. In fact, he had often heard it in Elder Shan’s stories when he was young.
That’s right, she was one of the nineteen people who had traveled the world and adventured with Uncle.
Also, she was the Miracle Lord before Bailuo.
Apart from Bailuo, she was the freshest newcomer in the entire place, even younger than Count Thorn.
