Chapter 19: Number One on the Power Ranking, the Immortal Ship!
Although the Ice Emperor had submitted to Jing Yuan, their reverence for the Lord of Soul Beasts was ingrained in their very bones.
She did not believe that the power of a human, even an extraterrestrial, could surpass that of half a dragon god.
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's lips curled up slightly, offering neither explanation nor rebuttal.
He simply closed his eyes comfortably, feeling the appropriate pressure coming from his shoulder.
"I don't want to move at all."
Jing Yuan let out a heartfelt sigh.
This kind of life, where food is served to you and clothes are put on your back, is the true meaning of life.
What's the point of fighting and killing, or vying for power? Nothing beats the comfort of lying in a rocking chair and basking in the sun.
It's so comfortable to slack off.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
"Bang!"
The courtyard gate was pushed open roughly.
A series of hurried footsteps approached, accompanied by an undisguised anger.
"Jing Yuan!"
A petite figure rushed in.
Fu Xuan stormed over to the rocking chair, her delicate, pretty face filled with frost.
She put her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring intently at Jing Yuan, who was lying motionless on the chair.
"Are you slacking off again?!"
Fu Xuan's voice rose several octaves, causing the snow on the treetops to fall.
"Wasn't it agreed that we would hunt down the Star Gods, patrol on behalf of Heaven, and quell the chaos?"
Despite the wrath of the Grand Diviner, Jing Yuan remained calm and composed.
He kept his eyes closed, not even a tremor of his eyelashes, and said without changing his expression:
"Did I say that?"
Fu Xuan was even more furious when she saw Jing Yuan lying in the rocking chair enjoying the Snow Emperor's massage without even opening his eyes.
She felt her blood pressure rising sharply.
"You just said that right after you disembarked from the immortal ship!"
Fu Xuan pointed her finger at Jing Yuan's nose, even though the other party didn't even look at her.
"How long has it been? You've already forgotten?"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan slowly opened one eye, glanced at the furious Fu Xuan, and then slowly closed it again.
"Fu Xuan, I order you to go."
The moment those words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor exchanged a glance, both seeing barely suppressed laughter in each other's eyes, but for the sake of the occasion, they could only force themselves to hold it in.
Fu Xuan was completely furious.
"Why?!"
She jumped up and down.
Why should I have to do everything?
"Back in Xianzhou, everything, big or small, was pushed onto the Taibu Si."
"Now that we're in another world, you're still the same?"
"So you're the general, and all you're supposed to do is lie around? And I, the diviner, have to run my legs off?"
Fu Xuan was furious.
Jing Yuan is absolutely shameless.
Do nothing and just leave everything to her!
Jing Yuan himself was hiding here, enjoying the service of beautiful female soul beasts, openly slacking off!
Is there any justice in this world?
Is there no law left?
Faced with Fu Xuan's accusations, Jing Yuan showed no remorse whatsoever.
He even yawned.
"Remember to call Yanqing over."
Jing Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard Fu Xuan's complaints and continued to give instructions.
"I have something to tell him."
"This is also to train that kid's abilities. After all, he's a young man, and it's always good for him to gain more experience."
Yanqing is Jing Yuan's apprentice and also a member of the elite guards.
She usually listens to Jing Yuan the most, and is also the one Jing Yuan most often uses as a shield or errand boy.
It's hard.
It's hard.
Fu Xuan's fist hardened completely.
Looking at the lazy man in front of her, she really wanted to punch him in that handsome but irritating face.
She's a dignified diviner, capable of predicting the heavens and the earth, so how did she end up with such a boss?
Just as Fu Xuan was about to lash out, and even considered whether to use the Qiong Guan Formation to teach this guy a lesson.
Jing Yuan spoke softly.
He didn't open his eyes, but his tone carried a deeper meaning:
"Fu Xuan."
"You wouldn't want me to hand over the general's position to someone else in the future, would you?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing most of Fu Xuan's anger.
That was her Achilles' heel.
That was her lifelong pursuit.
That was the position she had always dreamed of sitting in—General Luofu.
Fu Xuan stood frozen in place, her fist, which she had just raised, hanging in mid-air.
She looked at Jing Yuan, her eyes filled with conflict and resentment.
This guy is threatening me with this again!
Every single time!
It's always the same!
As soon as she resists or complains, this guy brings up his "general's position".
But she actually falls for that.
If we don't listen to him, what if this guy suddenly has a brain fart and passes the general's position to Yanqing or someone else?
Wouldn't all her efforts over the years have been in vain?
Fu Xuan bit her lip, her heart filled with hatred.
But looking at Jing Yuan's "you figure it out" expression, she knew she had lost again.
For a long time.
Fu Xuan loosened her fist, looking like a deflated balloon, dejected.
"Okay."
She drew out her words, full of reluctance.
"I'll go."
"I really don't know what I owed you in my past life."
Fu Xuan glared at Jing Yuan, then turned and walked away, stomping heavily as if she wanted to stomp on the floor as if it were Jing Yuan's face.
Watching Fu Xuan's departing figure, Jing Yuan's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
"That's right."
"The capable are given more work. As a pillar of the Immortal Ship, Fu Xuan can easily handle such a small matter."
Ice Emperor, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
"General, is it really okay for you to bully Fu Xuan like this?"
"She looked like she was about to cry."
Jing Yuan smiled and casually picked up a peeled fruit from Ice Emperor and put it in his mouth.
"You don't understand."
"This is called knowing people and assigning them to suitable positions."
"Besides, if I were to handle military affairs personally, what would be the point of having them?"
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and continued to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.
...
Right now.
The outside world was already in an uproar.
Everyone's attention was drawn away from the awe-inspiring Star Dou Great Forest.
Because the golden light in the sky grew brighter and brighter.
That means the position of number one on the power rankings is finally no longer shrouded in mystery.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, whether they are soldiers on the battlefield, old monsters hiding in the deep mountains, or ordinary people in bustling cities.
Everyone held their breath at that moment.
Everyone looked at the sky with curiosity, wanting to know which force could be ranked number one!
It was able to overpower the Star Dou Great Forest, which possessed a half-step God King and an army of hundreds of thousands of years old soul beasts.
It can disregard the divine inheritance of the Spirit Empire.
It can surpass the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect and the Light of the Sea God.
What kind of terrifying existence must that be?
Bibi Dong stood atop the Jialing Pass, her palms drenched in sweat.
Qian Daoliu stood in the offering hall, his eyes unblinking.
Tang San gripped the Trident of the Sea God tightly, his heart pounding wildly.
Bo Saixi gazed at the horizon from Seagod Island, her expression solemn.
Gu Yuena stood by the Lake of Life, her silver eyes slightly narrowed, waiting for the name that could surpass hers to appear.
Under the spotlight of everyone.
The golden light above the sky suddenly exploded, turning into countless starlight points, which then quickly converged.
Several powerful, ancient characters, seemingly containing profound truths, slowly emerged.
[Number one on the power ranking: Luofu Immortal Ship!]
