Chapter 506: Chapter 507: Don’t be my husband anymore, just turn into pickles in there!

“Husband—-”

Suddenly, a voice filled with urgency pierced through the misty rain.

In an instant, a huge White Rhino charged in front of everyone.

The White Rhino, glinting with golden light amidst its whiteness, carried a spiritual power that could shake heaven and earth. With just a flick of its tail, the downpour seemed to pause momentarily.

Atop the white rhino’s head sprouted a petite white figure, who pointed straight at Huangfu Nan.

“Husband, I’m fine. That doddering old coot is wicked to the core. He wanted to snatch me up–quick, take him down!”

In the nick of time, the Long Halberd that was already descending suddenly spun around like an agile dragon, shooting straight towards Huangfu Nan!

This strike was charged with all of Zhao Xiyan’s strength!!

It roared with the sound of thunder, carrying the momentum of lightning!

It was meant to shatter this pillar that reached to the heavens in one fell swoop!!

“Boom!”

“Ah!”

The sound of collision and cries of agony instantly filled the sky!

The dozens of Black Feather Guards protecting Huangfu Nan were flung away by the powerful current.

Some crashed into pillars, their brains spilling out in grisly display.

Others fell into the sea, swiftly disappearing beneath the waves with no trace to be found.

The few lucky to be alive curled up, watching the scene unfold with terror in their eyes.

A small white figure jumped down from the enormous White Rhino, like a bouncing white cloud.

Then the huge White Rhino vanished all of a sudden, yet the white cloud spoke like a human and waved its tiny hands as it ran towards Zhao Xiyan.

“Husband, quickly capture that old man. I’ve already wounded him with my cannon; he won’t be able to escape!”

Zhao Xiyan stood dazed as the figure rushed towards him, as though he had lost his ability to hear.

He had just heard the call of “husband,” and reflexively he had thrown the Long Halberd in his hand at Huangfu Nan.

At this moment, he didn’t want to do anything else but to ensure that his beloved was unharmed, not a single hair out of place.

“Yueyue…”

“Husband, why have you turned into an idiot? Get that nasty old man…”

Qi Yue was frantically waving her hands, only to see Huangfu Nan’s figure suddenly move and then disappear without a trace…

“Oh no, he’s gotten away…”

At that moment, Qi Yue was completely covered by a white raincoat and helmet, frustratingly preventing Zhao Xiyan from beholding her face, which unnerved him for some reason.

Fortunately, Qi Yue sounded vigorous and excited in her speech, clearly indicating she had not been harmed, and Zhao Xiyan’s heart finally eased a bit.

“Yueyue, don’t worry. That old codger must be switching to a decoy. I am already prepared; he won’t get away!”

“Ah, what decoy?”

Qi Yue looked puzzled, though no one could see her expression.

Both had a bellyful of words to say and questions to ask each other.

Regrettably, with the sea roaring and lightning flashing, it was not the time for conversations; they had to deal with the situation at hand.

“Husband, what’s the situation now? Is there anything I need to do?”

Zhao Xiyan briefly explained the situation, and Qi Yue immediately understood.

Although the threat hadn’t been eliminated, the person who knew about the underwater mechanisms had already died.

Resolving this crisis thoroughly would require finding the person behind all the designs and dismantling them one by one.

Obviously, it was a major project of over a decade; not something that could be finished overnight.

The only thing to do for the time being was to stabilize the coastal pillars connected to the underwater mechanisms.

But this was not a problem for Qi Yue.

She had plenty of steel and concrete in her storage space!

She had bought a lot when constructing the vault, and there was still plenty left.

With a single thought, the needed materials immediately appeared around the pillars!

At Zhao Xiyan’s command, members of the Black Feather Guard promptly stepped forward and surrounded the pillar with steel bars, then started pouring bags of concrete around it.

The latest generation of products solidifies upon contact with water!

The heavy rain actually helped everyone out.

Within half a shichen, the originally damaged stone column was as good as new, transforming instantly into an even more colossal and magnificent cement mountain!

The crisis was temporary averted, and Qi Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a fully armed Nanyue Army marched in with uniform steps, surrounding the entire seaside!

“Husband, what’s going on? Fight or run?”

“Neither fight nor run,” Zhao Xiyan said with a smile curling at his lips.

Ever since Qi Yue arrived, he had relaxed completely.

“This matter is a long story; I’ll explain everything to my lady back home.”

Qi Yue rolled her eyes inside her helmet.

“Go back? You’ll get what’s coming to you when we get back, just you wait!”

Zhao Xiyan pursed his lips and smiled, without a word.

At this moment, one person from the Nanyue Army stepped forward and bowed from a distance to Zhao Xiyan.

“On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, Nanyue’s Han Tianyue thanks Great War God Zhao for his assistance!”

Hearing this, Zhao Xiyan waved his hand dismissively with a cold voice.

“Pass a message to Han Linghe, do not forget the previous agreement!”

Han Tianyue bowed slightly, “His Majesty the Emperor will give a proper explanation to Great War God Zhao!”

Zhao Xiyan harrumphed and entrusted the importance of guarding the stone column to Han Tianyue.

The latter agreed to each term, with a humble attitude.

Qi Yue was very curious but decided to hold back her questions.

At this moment, Yunzhu came over supporting Qingzhu, both appearing rather disheveled.

Each of their emotions ran high.

On seeing Qi Yue, Qingzhu called out “Master” and was about to kneel, but Qi Yue quickly stepped forward to support him.

“What happened? Who beat you up so badly?!”

As she spoke, she had already handed over a Coagulation Pill.

This thing not only had the miraculous effect of instant blood replenishment but could also quickly heal most fresh wounds.

“Thank you, Master, for your concern. If not for my brothers’ timely rescue… cough, it’s all due to my incompetence…” Qingzhu said with a shameful face, hastily taking the medicine.

“Alright, take the medicine quickly, we can talk more when we get back,” Qi Yue interrupted him.

In a place away from everyone’s notice, Yunzhu rubbed his fingertips, wanting to say he was also injured…

The fabled Coagulation Pill, he wanted one too.

Unfortunately, he was no longer a member of the Black Feather Guard and had no right to one…

The group left under the watchful eyes of the Nanyue Army and soon arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Everyone went to clean up, after all, they had been in the rain for several shichen.

Zhao Xiyan was also dragged into the space by Qi Yue and tossed into the bathroom.

Half a shichen later, the bathroom echoed with pleas.

“Yueyue, your husband knows he was wrong, please let me out quickly!”

“Yueyue, tell your husband you’re alright, and is the baby still safe?”

“Yueyue, I’ve been in the rain for several shichen, if I soak any longer, I’ll deform…”

“Yueyue, your husband didn’t mean to hide it from you, I really didn’t want you involved…”

“…”

“Yueyue, are you listening? Yueyue…”

“…Yueyue, my good Yueyue, please say something…”

Qi Yue stood outside the door with her arms crossed, sneering.

“Don’t, I can’t take this ‘husband’ of yours! You really know how to deal with Huangfu Nan alone, don’t you? Such a big matter and you didn’t tell me? How could you get deformed, you’re only ever fickle! Zhao Xiyan, you bastard, you actually dared to deceive me, keeping so many things from me! I think you might as well not come out, or be my husband any more, just soak yourself into a pickle in there!”

She locked the bathroom door with another bolt, then turned and went down to the living room.
