How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 521 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (24 pages)
Zhu Wen was very satisfied with the gifts sent by the Qi family.

Her small treasury was filled with a generous amount of spirit stones.

She had endless enjoyment from the various magical treasures accumulated over hundreds of years.

Since they accepted the gifts, it's only natural that they agree to settle this score and stop seeking revenge.

However, it was Zhu Wen who "didn't care," not Ming Miao!

"I?"

Mingmiao sat obediently on a small embroidered stool, her expression filled with confusion when she was suddenly called upon.

Zhu Wen waved his hand, ruffled the top of her head, and then pinched the bun that looked like rabbit ears:

"That's right, Miaomiao. Your feud with the Qi family isn't over yet. Since it's about revenge, it'll be more interesting if you do it yourself."

The confusion on Mingmiao's face did not dissipate at all; on the contrary, it deepened.

"Me? I'm just a mortal..."

"Our trip to Tiandu is to help you obtain the Immortal Spirit Fruit, then you can begin your cultivation!"

Zhu Wen emphasized.

Mingmiao lowered her head:
"What if... what if my talent is really bad? Even if I use the Immortal Spirit Fruit, it won't work. Wouldn't that be a waste of your good intentions, Sister Zhu..."

Zhu Wen smiled:
"Why deny yourself before even trying?"

Mingmiao shook her head silently.

She simply came to terms with reality.

Zhu Wen rested his chin on his hand, looked at Ming Miao's gloomy expression, and hummed in response.

Such a negative attitude certainly didn't develop overnight.

Change won't happen overnight.

"It's okay, take your time."

Zhu Wen comforted her.

Secretary Wang, who was standing nearby, chimed in:

"That's right, Miss Ming, don't underestimate yourself. With your good fortune, getting the Immortal Spirit Fruit will definitely be no problem!"

Secretary Wang, now one of their own, naturally knew about the Immortal Spirit Fruit.

If he weren't so old, already several hundred years old, he would probably already be eager to participate in the Heavenly Pride Tournament and help Mingmiao win the Immortal Spirit Fruit!
Mingmiao slightly expressed her confusion:

Am I lucky?

Secretary Wang nodded vigorously:

"Yes, yes, how many people in the entire Five Continents are as lucky as you to have met our Lord and even received his care? This kind of luck is unique!"

It turns out that the introduction, development, transition, and conclusion were all about praising the congratulatory message!
Secretary Wang, as expected of someone who came from a management background, is truly a master of flattery!

Zhu Wen was somewhat speechless, but mostly found it amusing.

She also gave Secretary Wang a thumbs-up to express her praise.

Secretary Wang politely accepted it.

Mingmiao was also amused by Secretary Wang's words and couldn't stop laughing, her earlier gloom vanishing.

It seems that with a witty and humorous secretary like Secretary Wang around, the rest of the journey won't be boring...

The five continents are astonishingly large.

Zhu Wen estimated that this flying magical artifact, the Cloud Dream Boat, could roughly reach the speed of a modern airplane.

However, it actually takes two whole days and two nights to get from Bai'an City to Tiandu!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Cloud Dream Boat is not a flying magic weapon that focuses on speed.

According to Secretary Wang, there are those fast "one-leaf shuttles" that fly three times faster than the Yunmeng Boat!
The Yunmeng Boat is exquisite, beautiful, luxurious, and leisurely. It has a spatial array embedded inside, and it can easily accommodate five or six people, making it suitable for a trip where you're not in a hurry.

Perfect timing, Zhu Wen also wants to see the scenery of this continent.

The three of them traveled and played, landing the Cloud Dream Boat whenever they remembered a place, resting and playing around. When they got tired, they stayed in the city, and if the environment was uncomfortable, they stayed on the boat.

And so, it took them almost seven days to finally arrive at Tiandu.

Tiandu is the capital of Zhongzhou and the core of the entire continent.

The Reflection Mountain of the Lord of the Central Continent is located above the Heavenly Capital.

Yes, it's "above".

As they approached Tiandu, Zhu Wen could see from the ship that above the city of Tiandu was a cluster of inverted, floating mountains. Why was it called Reflection Peak?

It is because the mountain peaks are steep and precipitous, covered with lush vegetation.

Halfway up the mountain, the clouds drift by as calm as a lake, making half of the mountain appear as a reflection in the water, hence its name.

Very beautiful, very beautiful.

This was Zhu Wen's first impression.

The curiosity that followed was—

"Where does the Lord of Middle-earth reside?"

With no one else around, Zhu Wen asked the question bluntly.

Secretary Wang knew Zhu Wen's strength; even if he couldn't compare to the Lord of Zhongzhou, he was at least a powerful figure of a certain caliber.

His face showed no sign of it as he replied:

"The Lord of Middle-earth dwells in the true Reflection Peak."

"Oh?"

Zhu Wen was curious.

Secretary Wang, who had once been a restaurant manager, was extremely knowledgeable about all sorts of legendary tales and secrets from the Five Continents.

So he began to speak:

"Reflection Peak is not only named for its unique appearance, but also because it actually has a reflection in a mirror-like space, which is like a secret realm. It is said that its size is almost the same as the entire Central Continent. However, apart from those close to the Lord of the Central Continent, no one else can set foot in that realm, making it very mysterious to the outside world."

Zhu Wen stroked his chin, his interest growing even stronger:

"Really? I'll go check it out when I have time."

The Lord of Central Continent had previously come to greet her.

If she can find some time during this trip to visit me, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Zhu Wen thought about it quite naturally.

Her words, carried by the gentle breeze, drifted into the ears of those around her.

It should be noted that the closer one gets to the capital, the denser the flying magical artifacts become.

Just like a port where ships dock, it was packed with people.

There happened to be a floating multi-story ship near Zhu Wen's Yunmeng Ship.

The group of young men and women standing on the deck, looking down at Zhu Wen, all burst into laughter upon hearing his words.

"Oh my god, now I know what it means to overestimate one's abilities?"

"Hey, don't laugh, having ambition is always a good thing!"

"Yes, my childhood dream was also to enter the real Reflection Peak!"

"So, did you achieve it?"

"No, maybe in the next life."

"..."

There was no response to the well wishes.

But every sentence was a mockery of Zhu Wen.

Zhu Wen himself, who was being ridiculed: ? ? ?

Very good, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a straightforward and naive villainous passerby.

Zhu Wen was a little curious, so he asked his secretary, Wang, who was standing next to him:
Do we look shabby? Do we look like people who can be bullied at will?

"A subject dies for his lord's dishonor," Secretary Wang was already trembling with rage, clenching his fists as he loudly replied:

"How can it be!"

As Secretary Wang spoke, he leaped to his feet.

The pressure from the Nascent Soul stage cultivator, accompanied by a violent palm strike, slapped directly at the group of young men and women on the deck.

Although Zhu Wen has encountered Nascent Soul cultivators and Deity Transformation cultivators since arriving in the Five Continents, Golden Core cultivators are everywhere.

But in fact, reaching the Nascent Soul stage already qualifies one as a powerful individual.

Anyway, the strongest of these clueless little guys is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
