novelLi Anan's Flirting (2)
| ← Ch.467 | Ch.469 → |
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Li An'an sat in the empty lounge of the Convention and Exhibition Center with a bag full of information in her hand.
From eleven o'clock till now, she had already run through almost all the registration points.
Nanzhou, Beizhou, Xisong, Fragrant Hills, Ryukyu...
Fusang, Cochin, Ceylon, Lanfang...
Sparta, Liansheng, Francois...
She went to almost every place she could sign up for.
Casting a wide net.
In the theory of probability, as long as enough nets were cast, there would always be fish.
"When it's gold, it will always shine!" Li An'an clenched her fists and whispered, "Someone will definitely like my little Ping'an!"
At this moment, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar phone number.
Li An'an hesitantly answered the call. Then, a sweet female voice came from the other side of the phone. It was very soft."Is it Ling Ping'an of Jiangcheng City?"
Li An'an nodded and then asked, "You are?"
"Oh..." The other side said very politely, "This is the embassy office of Ceylon Kingdom..."
"It's like this... we would like to ask if you have the time to meet our Princess Lotus?"
Li An'an immediately smiled, "Of course!"
"Then..." The other party seemed to look at her schedule, then she said, "We will arrange for you to meet at 3:15 p. m. in the meeting room no. 7012, which is on the seventh floor of the Exhibition Center..."
Li An'an immediately remembered the room number and nodded."I will gladly attend the meeting!"
After hanging up the phone, Li An'an smiled."Sure enough, when it is gold, it will shine wherever it goes!"
"Little Ping'an is still somewhat attractive!"
Even the princess of a country had personally sent someone to call for an appointment.
This was the best proof!
.........
At the Ceylon Embassy in Xia.
The maid who put down the phone stood up slightly and looked at the princess who had been sitting opposite her.
"Your Highness..." She bowed slightly."I have already arranged for you. All the applicants from Jiangcheng City... There are a total of seven people..."
The princess gently rubbed the gem ring in her hand.
She softly chanted the name of Buddha, "Buddha is merciful!"
The aura tides naturally blew across all of Ceylon.
However, for some unknown reason.
None of the gods and buddhas had woken up.
Even the arhats and Bodhisattvas didn't wake up.
If it wasn't for the pagoda where the bones of Buddha were enshrined, which emitted Buddhist light day and night to comfort the people, the faith of Ceylon would have long collapsed.
But...
To the people of Ceylon, this was far from enough.
The bones of the Buddha were, after all, just a dead object.
They could protect for a while, but they couldn't protect for a lifetime.
Today, with the aura tides rising higher and higher, there was a growing unease in the people of Ceylon.
Without the blessings of the gods and Buddhas, it would be disastrous for a small country like Ceylon.
This was also the irony of the current world.
Big countries, like the Central Plains, were wary of the gods and Buddhas.
They wanted to suppress these gods and Buddhas.
However, for small countries, whether or not they had the blessings of these gods and Buddhas was a matter of life and death.
In history, the brutality and tyranny of the colonists from Land of Qin were still fresh in their minds.
The people of Ceylon did not dare to forget.
Back then, the Empire of Xia's great ancestor was willing to send troops, save a destroyed country and take over the country.
He would bring righteousness and morality back to the people.
Now, was there such a hero?
The people of Ceylon could not help but ask themselves.
In the case if the colonists of Land of Qin made a comeback when the gods they believed in returned.
What would happen to Ceylon if a crusade came?
As the frontier of the 'world', the people of Ceylon had a serious sense of apprehension.
They knew that once the colonists of land of Qin made a comeback, Ceylon would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the battle.
Last time, the colonists came with sailboats, muskets and cannons, and they attacked Ceylon.
The traditional weapons could not withstand a single blow in front of the colonists' strong ships and cannons.
Ceylon's wealth was plundered, its people enslaved, and even sold.
If it came again...
It would no longer be a simple ship cannon.
It would truly be a battle of the gods!
The wise men of Ceylon once painted a painting called 'Heaven Falling'.
In this painting, Ceylon was a leaf floating in the ocean, drifting with the waves.
People looked up in fear.
They saw the Principalities descending from the sky.
The wings of the Ophanim covered the sky.
The Bodhisattva shed blood and tears, and the Buddha's body was covered with crows.
The red-skinned ruthless men from the land of Qin smiled sinisterly and grabbed the innocent people of Ceylon.
In their mouths, the blood and flesh of countless innocent people were splattered.
Everyone who had seen the painting felt a deep sense of crisis.
The people of Ceylon could be faced with a crisis of extinction at any time.
Therefore, all the people of Ceylon were soldiers.
Therefore, Ceylon's national defense expenditure was one of the best among all the countries in the world.
Even in a beast arena like the Land of Qin, it could be ranked in the top three!
In Ceylon, no one could stay out of it.
If one did not want the country to be destroyed, everyone had to play their part.
The royal family was no exception!
At this moment, the elegant and gentle princess in the photo slowly stood up. The sunlight that shone through the Embassy's window landed on her.
The princess put her hands together in the sunbeam and prayed, "Buddha is merciful! If you could fulfill your long-cherished wish, I am willing to be an ancient Buddha for the rest of my life!"
The people of Ceylon needed immortals and gods.
If they did not have any in their territory, they would seek help from outside.
As a country that had an extremely close relationship with the Federal Empire's military, the Ceylon Defense Force was built under the guidance of the Federal Empire's military.
The mid-to high-ranking commanders of the Ceylon Armed Forces all graduated from famous military academies in the Federal Empire.
Apart from that, the two countries also had a series of security treaties.
Among them was the Empire of Xia and Ceylon Kingdom's security treaty.
Based on the secret clause of this treaty, Ceylon Kingdom could get all the intel that met their own security needs from the Federal Empire, including the transcendent being intel support.
Hence, before this get-together party, Ceylon Kingdom had already gotten the first-hand intel on that Young Master X.
Although these information descriptions were extremely obscure, the people of Ceylon still obtained an answer that they yearned for, which was Young Master X had an extremely high status.
Conservatively speaking, he was a first-class Taoist or Buddha.
The Royal Family of Ceylon had gone mad!
This was their dream.
And Princess Lotus was the carrier of this dream for the entire country.
If it was possible...
If she was lucky...
Then she would borrow some divine blood to give birth to Ceylon's immortal god.
She would be the modern-day Kinnara.
Mahamayuri!
And she did have this advantage.
Born under the Buddhist relics, she was favored and cared for by them from a young age.
Princess Lotus was born with a Buddha's body, and she was also a Buddha's daughter after birth!
Therefore, in Princess Lotus's eyes, this was her mission and also her destiny!
And she was born for this mission.
It was just that...
She looked at the list of names that her secretary handed over.
There were seven men of Jiangcheng origin.
Their ages ranged from 20 to 28.
Was he among them?
Or...
Was this person was not among them at all?
.........
Li An'an put down the phone.
Her expression was a little strange.
She had received a notification from another Kingdom's embassy, asking to meet her at 4:30 p. m. in Room 1102 of the Exhibition Center.
This was already the fourth call she had received.
Ceylon, Siam, Funan...
In addition to this call that claimed to be from the office of the Eldest Princess of Rosia, four princesses had all sent invitations to her.
"Little Ping'an is too popular, isn't he?" She thought.
However, there was something wrong with this matter.
In such a short period of time, so many princesses from the Kingdoms had approached her.
Little Ping'an had become someone greatly desired by others?
Thinking of this, Li An'an gently took out her phone and entered the password specially customized in the sub-system of the phone.
Then, she entered the internal forum of the Blackguard from the sub-system.
She wanted to see if something special had happened.
Ever since she was rumored to be a koi, a bringer of good luck, she hadn't entered the Blackguard's internal forum for a long time.
The main reason was that she was afraid of being watched.
Sure enough, the moment she entered, the system notified her the number of people that had tagged her had reached more than nine hundred and ninety-nine.
Li An'an curled her lips. She didn't even need to look to know that it was those troublemakers who had tagged her.
Most likely, they were those who had forwarded her previous messages.
The format was basically as follows: "Rotate, touch the koi, pray for the koi to bless my breakthrough in seclusion this time; koi, my roommate wants you to send a picture of praying for blessings before he dies..."
"At the next meeting, I will definitely request the Operation Department of the Forum to turn off the function of tagging others!" As she thought about it, she ignored those system messages and clicked into the internal imperial capital subsection.
Then, she saw countless posts flying all over the place.
"General Zhang Hui is so powerful, he killed the ancestor of the witchcraft sect with his sword!" This was the hottest post on the forum right now.
The person who posted the post was a colonel, and he was also from the Imperial City's security bureau.
Li An'an clicked on it and saw dozens of photos from different angles.
Zhang Hui drew his Yanluo sword again.
The sword raged in the air.
One can tell that the colonel is using an extraordinary camera specially made by the Blackguard.
It's not just the sharpness.
Even the traces and trajectories of the psionic power were clearly photographed.
Unlike ordinary people, who can only see a bit of sword light across the dark sky.
Li An'an looked at these photos and thought of the moment when Zhang Hui met her last night.
"So, the general was chasing after the ancestor of the witchcraft sect!"
"Even the ancestor of the witchcraft sect was defeated by the general's Sword?"
"When can I be as powerful as Zhang Hui?"
She couldn't help but think.
After thinking carefully, if she was willing to take her trainings seriously...
About three to five years?
Unfortunately...
Li An'an sighed, "If I broke through to the 'general' level before the age of forty..."
"My appearance will not change even until I die!"
The 'general' level was the dividing line between mortals and immortals.
According to the current online novels, the 'general' level was roughly between the late stage of the golden elixir and the late stage of the nascent soul.
Other than not having such an exaggerated lifespan, the 'general' level's battle strength and destructive power were not inferior to the so-called golden elixir and nascent soul stage.
However, because the cultivation methods that the generals practiced were different.
Therefore, there was no unified and fixed method of evaluation.
It was generally evaluated by combat strength.
As long as one could single-handedly fight against a modern army-level unit, one would be considered a general!
A heavy-armored mechanized army would be a lieutenant general.
A super heavy-duty synthetic army would be a admiral!
This was also the reason why two hundred years ago, when the original generals were compared to the present, there was a huge difference between heaven and earth.
An army that was lined up for execution might not even be able to defeat a reserve infantry battalion!
However, regardless of whether it was 200 years ago or now.
The generals all had a common characteristic — when they became generals, it meant that they were the strongest humans of their generation.
Hence, they would possess some sacred characteristics.
Eternal youth was one of them.
Therefore, the faces of the generals were mostly fixed at the time of their breakthrough.
In other words, the Commander-in-chief had cultivated the Principium of Dao and had reached the realm of Natural Dao.
His appearance would change according to his mentality.
When he was happy, he would be younger.
When he was sad, he would be older.
Thinking of this, Li An'an could only shake her head.
She had to wait for Little Ping'an.
She couldn't let herself remain a young girl when little Ping'an's hair turns white.
She knew that if that was the case, with little Ping'an's personality, he would take the initiative to distance himself from her.
It wasn't because she felt inferior.
It was because Little Ping'an was such a person.
He prided himself as a gentleman and would never cause trouble for others, nor would he cause trouble for himself.
He hated trouble!
Thinking of this, Li An'an closed the posts.
"General..."
"We'll talk about it when I'm old!"
"Now, let's learn from little Ping'an's method..."
"Compress, compress, compress!"
"One Punch Man is actually quite good!"
Thinking of this, she looked at the other popular posts in the forum.
These posts were basically related to the get-together party this time.
They were mostly discussing the looks of a princess of a certain country and a lady of a certain family.
Of course, there would never be a lack of a group of openly known Lord Longyang's heckling.
These guys were also enthusiastically discussing the strong and tough man, jade-faced playboy and gentle youth who had come to the Imperial Capital.
They were seriously analyzing who might be able to join the Lord Longyang's club and share all the wonderful things being gay.
Li An'an watched and pursed her lips.
She did not discriminate against the Lord Longyang and neither would the Blackguard.
For thousands of years, Lord Longyang had always existed objectively.
In the transcendent being's Land of Qin, there were several powerful armies formed by Lord Longyang.
The most famous was the Sparta Kingdom's Thebes Holy Army.
According to legend, this transcendent being army was all formed by mutual lovers.
Therefore, on the battlefield, they would fight until the last person!
They would never leave their lover behind to live alone!
Therefore, the Thebes Holy Army had once killed several Crusaders during the Greek Independence War.
Therefore, Li An'an was dissatisfied that there weren't many women who came out to discuss the cute little sisters.
This wasn't fair!
Therefore, she thought about it and activated the anonymous function. Then, she sent a post: "Aren't there any young ladies who will come out to discuss cute young ladies who appear in this get-together party?"
After the post was sent, within a few minutes, it attracted a large number of participants.
One by one, anonymous people left their comments.
Countless beautiful photos were posted one by one.
Li An'an looked at them and chuckled."I'm not lonely!"
