Chapter 46: Furnessa's Stage! The 18th Place on the Gold List Revealed!
Navelette, who was sitting at the stone table sipping tea, paused slightly.
He put down the delicate teacup in his hand, raised his head, and his pale purple vertical pupils remained calm.
"kendo?"
Navelette gently shook her head.
You've misunderstood.
"I don't know anything about swordsmanship."
Di Tian was taken aback.
Don't know?
What was that giant water dragon sword that cleaved through the heavens just now?
Navelette straightened her cuffs, her tone as indifferent as if she were simply remarking on the pleasant weather.
"I just lived a little longer."
"I have a little bit of insight into the changes in the form of water."
"That was a heavenly tribulation just now, a violent lightning attack."
"If we simply use water to wash it, it's too inefficient and it will wet the floor here."
"Compress the water flow to its maximum, mimicking the shape of a sharp blade to cut through the structure of lightning; this is faster."
That's all.
Navilette spoke very seriously.
He genuinely believes that.
Throughout his long life, he studied countless ways to control the flow of water in order to ensure the fairness and efficiency of the trial.
It was shaped like a sword simply for easier cutting.
There's no such thing as kendo or not.
Di Tian fell silent.
Brigitte also fell silent.
But their inner thoughts were completely different.
Di Tian was wildly imagining things.
The greatest truths are the simplest!
This is truly the essence of simplicity!
It doesn't need any fancy sword moves, nor does it need any profound sword intent.
Once you master one element to its fullest extent, that is the Tao!
This person's level of understanding is unfathomable!
Brigitte, on the other hand, cupped her face in her hands, her beautiful eyes filled with stars.
So handsome!
That effortless, staged look is absolutely captivating!
Moreover, the earnest gentleness in his voice when he said he was "afraid of getting the floor wet" was so heartwarming.
"You are too modest, sir."
Di Tian bowed again, this time bending even lower.
"Since your strength is so extraordinary, then what about the alliance that Gu Yue proposed earlier..."
Before Di Tian could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Vilet raising her hand.
"I don't like forming alliances."
"I don't want to get involved in any conflicts in the divine realm."
Although Navelette's voice was calm, it carried an air of aloofness that kept people at a distance.
"I built Tianshui City simply to give Funina a stage to perform on and a home to live in."
"As for the Asura God or the Rakshasa God."
"As long as they don't cause trouble in Tianshui City or disturb Funina's enjoyment, I won't take action."
Di Tian's heart tightened.
As expected, this person was quite arrogant.
But he did not give up.
"My lord, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold."
"Those false gods in the God Realm are extremely hypocritical. They cannot tolerate us soul beasts, so naturally they cannot tolerate a powerful being like you."
"If our Star Dou Great Forest falls, Tianshui City will probably be next."
"We do not ask you to take the initiative, but only that Tianshui City can lend a helping hand when the Star Dou Great Forest is destroyed."
"In return, all the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest are willing to regard Tianshui City as an ally, and will not hesitate to die for you!"
Di Tian's words were very serious.
It practically reduced the grandeur of the Starry Sky Forest to dust.
Navelette pondered for a moment.
He really hates trouble.
But he also knew that some troubles in this world were unavoidable.
Moreover, having more henchmen can save you a lot of opportunities to take action.
"Can."
Navelette nodded slightly.
"Limited to mutual guarantee only."
"If you cause trouble, Tianshui City will not be responsible."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian was overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir!"
Having accomplished the task, Di Tian dared not linger, lest he displease that person.
"Then I will go back and report immediately. Gu Yue is still waiting for my news."
With that, Di Tian prepared to leave.
But after taking two steps, he realized something was wrong.
Brigitte didn't move.
The emerald swan remained standing there, its eyes seemingly glued to Villette.
"Bridget?"
Di Tian whispered a reminder.
Brigitte blushed and rubbed the corner of her clothes somewhat shyly.
"Um... Di Tian, as you know, I just broke through because of that cup of Rainbow Flower Wine."
"My current level of cultivation is still somewhat unstable."
"The water element here in Tianshui City is extremely abundant, which is of great benefit to my recovery."
"I was wondering... could I stay here to consolidate my cultivation level?"
"..."
By the end, Brigitte's voice had become barely audible.
She secretly glanced at Navelette.
Those long, slender, fair legs unconsciously came together, revealing an amazing charm.
Di Tian's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Bi Ji's appearance.
A stable realm?
Are you trying to solidify your realm?
You're just lusting after her body!
But does he dare to say it?
He dared not.
Moreover, keeping Brigitte here is a form of hostage-taking, which can strengthen the bond between the two sides.
"Cough cough."
Di Tian coughed lightly.
"In that case, I'll trouble Lord Vilette to look after me."
"Bij, remember, do not disturb the master's meditation."
After saying that, Di Tian transformed into a streak of black light and flew away as if fleeing.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be choked to death by the subtle, ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
...
They saw Di Tian off.
Just as Navelette was about to go back inside, a petite figure darted out from behind the corridor.
Funina ran over excitedly, holding a small notebook in her hand.
"Navilette! Navilette!"
"That list of golden rosters was really grand!"
"..."
Furnessa circled around Navelette, her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing up and down.
"Then guess who will be number one?"
Could it be me?
Funina pointed to her nose, her big eyes full of anticipation.
Looking at the lively girl before her, Navelette's indifference vanished instantly, replaced by a barely perceptible doting affection.
He reached out and gently rubbed Funina's head.
"certainly."
"Lady Furness is the mistress of all waters, the most dazzling star in the world."
"Besides you, who else is qualified to sit in that position?"
Fulina was overjoyed by the praise, put her hands on her hips, and raised her chin.
"Hmph, of course!"
"This water god is here to save the world!"
"When I get first place, I'm going to ask the honor roll to give me lots and lots of cakes!"
"..."
Seeing the girl's innocent smile, Violet's mood also became cheerful.
As long as I can protect this smile.
Even if it means splitting the entire realm of gods apart, so what?
Just then.
The enormous golden list in the sky trembled once more.
The loud voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
