Chapter 672
672 Father and son! North Pole!
After the wedding, Xu Qianqian’s mood stabilized a little.
There were only six days left before the final battle between Shen lang and Jiang Li.
The next day, Shen lang strolled around Xuanwu city with her. Most of the buildings here had been destroyed, and most of the houses were rebuilt. They were in line with the city style of the new energy civilization.
The only thing that had not changed was the palace of the Duke of Xuanwu of the Jin family.
The two of them walked from Xuanwu city to the Duke’s mansion.
“The previous world is still better.” Xu Qianqian suddenly said.
“Why?” Shen lang asked.
“In the previous world, there was more freedom. You could do whatever you wanted and achieve great things,” Xu Qianqian said. In this world, everyone has to fight for a mission. Other than a few people, everyone else seems to have lost their value, like a part of a machine.”
No wonder Xu Qianqian sighed with emotion. She was a merchant. At least in this world, there was no room for merchants to operate in the great Qian Empire or the Jiangli Empire.
This was because all living materials were distributed according to a system. Almost everyone had their own tasks, and everyone had to obey the schedule. They could not waste even a little energy or waste productivity.
Therefore, everyone was like a part of a giant machine, a screw.
after I was captured, I was sealed in ice and went into eternal rest. I have never seen Mulan or Qiu Yao ‘er. I’m sorry. Xu Qianqian said gently.
“It’s nothing,” Shen lang said.
Then, he walked back to his courtyard and came to the wall of enemies. He looked at the only name on the list: Jiang Li.
After a moment of hesitation, he erased the name.
“What’s wrong? Have you let go of your hatred?” Xu Qianqian asked.
“No, I didn’t,” Shen lang said,”if I win this battle, this enemy will be dead.” But if I lose, then there’s no point in me keeping the name of my enemy here.”
“Shen lang, do you know what’s the advantage of a lunatic?” Xu Qianqian said.
“What?” Shen lang asked.
“I have such a crazy intuition, and I don’t need to take responsibility for what I say,” Xu Qianqian said.
“Then tell me,” Shen lang said.
“I think you’ll be able to come back alive,” Xu Qianqian said.
She was very serious when she said that. After staring at Shen lang for a while, she looked away.
“Thanks for your kind words,” Shen lang laughed.
………………
There were three days left before the final battle between Shen lang and Jiang Li!
“Your Majesty, all the H-bombs have been completed.” “You said that making a hundred would be enough, but we made a total of five hundred,” said Tang en.
500 H-bombs, and all of them were of the ten-million-ton class (the explosive power was equivalent to 50 million tons of TNT).
This power was completely unparalleled. It could really wipe a country off the face of the earth.
If these 500 H-bombs were to explode in the North Pole …
Millions of square kilometers of the North Pole would be devoured by endless flames.
It could melt countless hell crystals and create an energy vacuum of more than a few hundred thousand square kilometers.
It was more than enough to suppress the hell crystals.
Each hydrogen bomb weighed more than 20 tons, so 500 of them would be 10000 tons.
There was probably no other Sky Fortress in the world that could carry such a heavy load. To bring these hydrogen bombs to the North Pole, at least 100 giant sky fortresses would be needed.
However, it was midnight in the North Pole where there were an astronomical number of hell crystals. The sky Fortress of the great Qian Empire would be destroyed before it could reach there.
Therefore, these 500 H-bombs had to be handed over to the dragonbelt.
Shen Yilong!
It grinned again as it looked at the mountain of H-bombs, a full 10000 tons.
Of course, it had no problem bringing him to the North Pole, but it was a little awkward.
It needed to swallow all the hydrogen bombs before flying to the North Pole.
Ji long ‘er also wanted to go to the North Pole to fight, but Shen lang could not bring her along. The level of this battle was too high. Ji long’ er had not gone through the baptism of the high-level Dragon enlightenment, so she might not be able to withstand it.
“Yilong, why don’t you try it?” Shen lang said.
Shen Yilong looked at his master helplessly, then roared at Ji long ‘er. His meaning was,’ hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave. I can’t let you see my embarrassing scene.’
Ji long ‘er was still standing there stupidly, waiting to watch the show with great interest.
Shen Yilong stepped forward, hooked his tail around Ji long ‘er’s neck, and dragged her away. They flew several thousand miles away.
In short, I can’t let this female dragon see my embarrassing scene.
After chasing away Ji long ‘er, Shen Yilong’s body suddenly expanded and once again swept across the sky, boundless and boundless.
It opened its huge mouth and took a deep breath, swallowing the 5000 hydrogen bombs into its stomach.
In just one second, it was all done.
Furthermore, from the outside, Shen Yilong didn’t seem to have changed at all. He also didn’t have the bloated feeling of a Python swallowing a sheep.
not bad, not bad, not bad! Shen lang clapped and said, ” “Three days later, we’ll go to the North Pole just like this.”
clap, clap, clap, clap, clap! after Shen Lang’s applause ended, there was still another round of applause.
Shen Yilong’s gaze was like lightning as he looked towards the source of the applause. In the end, he discovered that it was da Chao. At this moment, he was looking at him with a fawning expression, and was clapping his claws with all his might.
What does it have to do with you? What are you here for?
Shen Yilong was about to roar and threaten her, but he decided to forget about it. Why did he have to stoop down to the level of a stupid bird?
Shen lang said, ” alright. You can spit out Yilong first. You can swallow him again in three days.
Shen Yilong shook his head. Since he had already swallowed it, he would just leave it in his stomach. It would be even more embarrassing to spit it out like this and then swallow it again three days later.
It suddenly descended from the sky and dove into the sea, using the seawater to completely hide its body.
In any case, it wouldn’t show itself before they set off for the North Pole.
……………………
It was the second last day of Shen Lang’s journey to the North Pole!
The Bureau of Military Affairs held a small meeting at the Board of Ministers of the great Qian Empire.
I know. I’ve disappeared many times, but I’ve always returned alive. especially during the drastic change in the North Pole 30 years ago, ” Shen lang said. everyone thought I was dead, but I came back alive.
All the important officials listened to Shen Lang’s words quietly.
Shen lang said, ” in the past, I was like a child who was learning to walk. There were adults protecting and supporting me at all times. They could even sacrifice their lives to save me at critical moments. Even though they have never appeared at all times, and you have never known of his existence.”
When Shen lang said that, a few people appeared in his mind.
The ancient Empress, the ancient wisdom King, the Mother of Dragons, Queen Medusa, and the Prophet of chaos.
but now, they’ve all been completely sacrificed, so no one will save me at the critical moment. “I have to rely on myself for the battle with Jiang Li,” Shen lang said calmly.
“What I mean is that only one of us can survive this battle. If I don’t come back, then I’ll really be gone. There won’t be any more miracles.” “When that happens, you have to accept the truth,” Shen lang said.
Everyone’s expression became extremely serious.
“Of course, I’ve said it before. If I win, you will follow my path in the future. If I lose, this world will be completely handed over to Jiang Li. I’ve tried my best.” Shen lang said, ” when the time comes, dust to dust. Earth to earth. I can’t meddle in the affairs of this world anymore. When that time comes, what will you do?”
Shen lang looked at Pavilion master Zuo Ci and said, ” listen to my advice. Staying alive is more important than anything else. As long as you’re alive, there will be hope.
Zhu hongxue immediately said hoarsely, ” Your Majesty, don’t say such things. You will win without a doubt. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. Of course, if even you fail, then I’ll return to the world of ashes and dust.”
Shen lang laughed,”generally speaking, I have to say the ugly words first.” So, of course, I have to tell you the worst case scenario. I only have one hope for you all. Even if I can’t return in the final battle, you all have to work hard to survive.”
of course. Shen lang smiled and said, ” even though Jiang Li is more than 10000 times stronger than me, I might still be able to win this battle. The naivety of our great Qian Empire is to always look forward to the beautiful future.”
“That’s it, meeting adjourned!”
…………………………
It was the last day of Shen Lang’s battle with Jiang Li at the North Pole.
On this day, the family only had one task. He would teach Shen Qianqian how to make ice cream and then make a sumptuous dinner.
From day to night, the family put aside everything and just stayed together.
The entire family went to work. Even the busiest scientist, Grigory, was pulled over, along with liquid nitrogen from his laboratory. Could it be that ice cream without liquid nitrogen was not perfect?
Grigory was cracking an egg, his eyes and expression looked like he had nothing left to live for. He even heard the sound of his heart breaking.
If every minute and second that was wasted was used for experiments or thinking, how good would that be?
Now you want me to crack eggs? What a waste of life!
“It’s been five years. Have you ever returned home?” he asked. “Son, this is the first time we’ve seen each other for such a long time in the past five years, right?” his mother, Shelly asked.
“If I remember correctly, we’ve had 35 meals together,” Grigory said.
I was the one who sent your lunch to your lab thirty-five times, ” Shelly said. there were thirty-four times when you treated me as your assistant.
oh, oh, oh. Grigory’s soul flew out of his body again. He stirred the yolk mechanically, but a new crystal brain structure began to work in his brain.
“Give it to me, you silly girl.” His mother, Shelly, took the bowl of eggs and finally let go of Gregory’s hands.
Then, he stood alone in the middle of the kitchen, completely at a loss.
Shen lang was sculpting the fruits and marinating the deer steak. The steak did not need marinating, but the deer steak had to be marinated. Otherwise, it would not taste good. After he was done, Shen lang wiped his hands with a scarf like a stay-at-home husband.
Then, he looked at Princess Ninghan and Xu Qianqian.
One of the two women was staring at the vegetables in a daze, while the other was staring at the fish in a daze.
“Can I ask how to wash this kind of vegetable? do you eat the leaves or the stem?” “Should I remove the leaves or the stem?” Ning Han asked, embarrassed.
“By the way, How do I kill this fish?” Xu Qianqian asked.
Well, neither of these two women knew how to cook. Jin Mulan didn’t know how to cook, and neither did ning Meng. Only Xiao Bing knew how to cook, and she was very good at it. It was a pity that she was not by his side now.
Shen lang looked at the two women helplessly and said, ” “Uh, am I the only one who can cook in my family?”
“And me!” Shelly raised her hand.
“There’s also me Yingluo.” Princess Shen Yue raised her hand.
Shen lang had no choice but to help Ning Han wash all the vegetables. Then, he helped Xu Qianqian to kill all the fish.
“Leave the rest to us,” leave these dishes to me and flamy, ” Shelly said. the ice cream is already done anyway.
Well done? They were almost finished. Shen Qianqian, this chubby girl, ate one after another. He didn’t know why, but the ice cream he made was especially delicious.
“You’ve already eaten your fill, so don’t blame us if you can’t eat anything good later.” Ning Han warned.
Shen Qianqian stuck out her little tongue. The dishes were delicious, but that was a matter for the future. For now, ice cream was still the best.
Shen lang brought two glasses of wine to Gregory. He was still standing there in a daze. After leaving the laboratory, he didn’t know where to put his hands and feet. If he wasn’t called to go somewhere else, he could stand there until it was dark.
“Come out and have a seat.” Shen lang said.
“Oh, thank you, dad.” He followed behind Shen lang and went to the balcony.
The father and son sat down on the deck chairs on the balcony, and Shen lang handed them a glass of wine.
Grigory took it by instinct and took a big gulp like he was drinking coffee. Then he trembled.
What was this Kasaya? This was the first time he had drunk alcohol in his thirties.
He had a low tolerance for alcohol and was half-drunk after drinking it.
wow, this thing is a demon. I must touch it less. It will kill my wisdom and my time. Grigory said, but then he took another big gulp.
“But artists love this,” Shen lang said.
artists need to be crazy, ” Grigory said. but we scientists need to be rational.
“I am a crazy person, but Jiang Li is a rational person,” Shen lang said.
not necessarily, ” Grigory said. I think Jiang Li is even crazier than you, but he’s crazy to the extreme. He’s like a rational person. A complete lunatic is usually quiet.”
Alcohol was indeed a wonderful thing. It made Gregory say such things. Otherwise, he would not talk much other than science.
Grigory had never met Jiang Li, let alone had any contact with him, but he seemed to know him well.
“Do you mind what I told you last time?” Shen lang asked.
“Married, is it?” Gregory asked. I’ve been looking for one recently, but unfortunately, there are too few people who are worthy of me. ”
Eh? The person who was so embarrassed before had become arrogant after drinking.
However, Shen lang understood what he meant. When he said that they were worthy, it was not because of their background or their looks. It was purely because of their intelligence.
“Then, will you get married because of love?” Shen lang asked.
“Love?” “Is it because of the strong resonance and attraction between the two of us on the same scientific research project?” Gregory asked. Then we must get married. A marriage like this is more than two. We can definitely create super scientific sparks.”
Uh, alright, if you think this is love, that’s fine. Shen Lang’s family was big enough to accommodate any child, even if the child was a little strange.
“Dad, I want to have another drink. Can I?” Grigory asked.
Shen lang took the bottle and poured him another glass.
Grigory drank a third of it in one go and said, ” “This thing is a demon. You can’t touch it in the future. You can’t touch it.”
Then, he drank another one-third of it. Was the fragrance really a human truth?
Very quickly, the second glass of wine was finished.
Grigory suddenly looked at Shen lang seriously and said, ” father, I’m very, very grateful to you and mother for giving birth to me, allowing me to have such a Wonderful Life. It’s as if every second of my life is full of charm.
Did a scientist become a poet after drinking?
Shen lang poured another glass for him, and the father and son clinked their glasses.
I have many sons. Your elder brother, Shen Ye, is very outstanding. He is almost the most perfect Heir to the Empire in the world. He is my pride. Shen lang said, ” now, you are one of my proudest people. In the future, your contribution to the world will be no less than your brother’s. In fact, you might even be more than him. “One day in the future, if someone says I’m Gregory’s father, I’ll be the Father of Gregory family. I’m not saying that you’re my son and that I’ll be proud of you in the future.”
Grigory took another big gulp.
Then, he lay on the table, motionless, completely drunk.
“Father, you must come back alive. You must come back alive. Otherwise, we’ll have no future.” Lying on the table, Grigory cried as he said.
He had never cried before in his life, and of course, he had never been drunk.
Shen lang rubbed his head and returned to the kitchen. It was time for him to cook.
………………………………
Next, the family ate happily and harmoniously.
Grigory was still drunk and fast asleep on the sofa.
Shen Qianqian angrily sat on her father’s lap. She was filled with regret.
If she had known that there would be so many delicious dishes today, she wouldn’t have eaten so much ice cream just now. Now that her little stomach was full, she couldn’t eat any more delicious food.
When her mother, Ning Han, saw this, she only said, ” “He deserves it!”
Sigh, he was indeed her biological son!
“A toast to Grandpa and Grandma.”
“To Grandpa ning yuanxian, to Grandpa and Grandma.”
“To mom, to the aunties, to the brothers, to the sisters.”
The family was drinking low-alcohol red wine.
Hearing the clatter of glasses, Grigory suddenly sat up, picked up the glass in front of him and said, ” “To dad, to this world, to the future.”
Then, he drank it all in one gulp.
this thing is a demon. You can’t drink it. You can’t drink it, ” he said. Then he fell back on the sofa and fell asleep.
Yiyi, ” Shen lang said. go and take out the drawing board. Draw today’s scene.
After a moment of hesitation, 11 nodded and took out the drawing board.
She drew very quickly and very well.
In less than half an hour, the entire painting was done. It was a colorful painting.
It was how Shen Lang’s family ate, including Gregory who was fast asleep and Shen Qianqian who was sitting in Shen Lang’s arms and watching the adults eat. Of course, this included himself, who was currently drawing.
What was even more mysterious was that 11 was painting, and the painting in the painting was Shen Lang’s family eating.
There was a picture within a picture, a picture within a picture, as if it was going to continue in a cycle.
Then, 11 gave the painting a name.
A normal family dinner.
Yes, it was a normal dinner, not the last dinner.
In order to completely eliminate the feeling of the last dinner, she created a painting within a painting. If the endless cycle continued, it meant that the meal would never be finished.
It meant that her father would definitely be able to return safely.
After the meal, they had dessert and ice cream.
At this time, Shen Qianqian felt that her stomach had already digested a little and she was a little hungry. However, she had already finished all the delicious food and it was really infuriating.
The family was talking about the most trivial things.
He did not mention a single word about the National affairs or the final battle that Shen lang was about to engage in.
”
The bell rang ten times, and it was already ten O ‘clock in the evening. Shen Qianqian had already fallen asleep.
Shen lang laughed. alright, it’s about time. I’m leaving!
“We’re leaving already?” Ning Han said.
“Come back early.” Xue Lai said.
It was as if Shen lang was only going on a long trip and not for the final battle that would decide the fate of the world.
“Yes, you guys should sleep early too.” Shen lang stood up and waved at his family.
There were no instructions, no solemn parting words.
“Say goodbye to daddy.” Ning Han said.
“Goodbye, father.” Shen Qianqian’s eyes were still hazy. She drowsily waved her little hands, then hugged her mother’s neck and fell asleep.
Shen lang left the Paradise Manor.
“Dragon, we should go.” Shen lang said.
The Dragon rushed out of the sea, but it didn’t make any sound, nor did it cause a big splash.
If she were to join the diving team, she would definitely be able to do so.
Shen lang sat cross-legged on the dragon’s back and slowly flew away from raging tide city.
On the surface of the sea, all the sea monsters of The Lost Empire floated up. The lost demon mother led the hundreds of thousands of sea monsters and knelt down in an orderly manner.
In raging tide city, everyone from the Board of Ministers and Bureau of Military Affairs knelt down in an orderly manner.
More than a million people knelt down, but there was no sound.
No one was cheering.
Everyone prayed in their hearts that Emperor Shen lang would return one day.
If His Majesty won this final battle, they would still have a future.
If His Majesty were to lose, everything before him would turn to dust.
Let’s go, let’s go.
Shen lang rode the giant dragon and headed north, toward the North Pole.
Behind him, Ji long ‘er kept catching up.
“Go back, go back!” Shen lang said.
Ji long ‘er stopped for a while, but not long after, she caught up again, but she followed far behind.
“Go back, go back!” Shen lang and Shen Yilong said in unison.
Ji long ‘er only left reluctantly after she chased him away five times.
Shen lang and the Dragon carried the 500 hydrogen bombs and flew toward the North Pole.
He was rushing to the final battle with Jiang Li!
