Volume 1: National Treasure Chapter 47 Return to the Country

  In the vast ocean, a super cruise ship was drifting, but no one on board dared to come out and watch the magnificent sea from the deck. Because in the past two days, intense gunfire could often be heard on the cruise ship. It's not clear who offended whom, but since this morning, after a fierce burst of gunfire, there has been no more shooting, it seems that either the attack was successful or those killers were completely wiped out.

  In the passenger cabin filled with bullet holes and debris, Long Meng wiped his stomach, looking a bit weak at Su Rui. Just now, in that critical moment, he had rushed forward regardless of his own life and death to block a bullet for Su Rui, also giving Su Rui the last chance to change magazines and eliminate the last killer.

  Su Rui's eyes were red as she bandaged Long Ji's wound, but in her heart, she thought: What a great person he is! He actually stood up to block the bullet for me at the critical moment. Although he isn't as fierce as Long Xing, he has the same spirit.

  After a simple bandaging, Su Rui helped Long Ji up and grabbed her backpack to head towards the infirmary. She absolutely couldn't let Long Ji die on the ship, after all, he was the one who had saved her.

  Walking out of the room, Su Rui stepped lightly on the bloody path outside the door, stepping over the cold corpses that had been sent to kill him. He knew that Long Xing had rescued him from the Blood Color Killer Team's headquarters and killed their leader, and the team would stop at nothing to take revenge on him if he hadn't guessed wrong. This assassination attack was definitely done by the Blood Color Killer Team, but he didn't know who the new leader was.

  Finally, they arrived at the section of the road littered with corpses. Su Rui supported Long Ji and slowly moved him to the medical room. She herself was also somewhat weak, completely relying on the gratitude she felt towards Long Ji for saving her life to hold on until now. As soon as they entered the medical room, Su Rui grabbed a doctor-like person and made him treat Long Ji's injuries. Seeing that the person in front of her was trembling, Su Rui had no choice but to take out her gun and point it at the doctor's head, ordering him to treat Long Ji.

  The doctor was so shocked that his legs were almost numb, but looking at the girl in front of him, if he didn't treat the people outside soon, he would probably be shot himself.

  The doctor took a look at Longji and didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately walked over to her side and began examining her injuries. The doctor understood that if he waited any longer, he wouldn't know when this girl would suddenly go into shock. After taking a quick glance, the doctor supported the weak Longji and helped her back into the ward, starting his treatment work.

  "Xiao Rui..." Long Xing was startled and sat up with a cold sweat, then he touched his head and looked at the quilt covering him with some confusion, after that he turned his head to look around.

  He only saw that it was a very old Chinese-style building, and the bed he slept on was also an ancient Qing-style big bed. He curiously lifted up the quilt and walked towards the door. After walking for a few steps, he found his dagger placed on a small round table not far from the door. He casually pulled out his dagger to take a look and then inserted it back between his legs, and continued walking towards the outside of the door.

  Pushing open the door, the outside sunlight poured in, making Long's eyes sting painfully. He couldn't help but raise his hand to shield his eyes, then squinted outwards. He saw a girl sitting outside, her eyes closed as she basked in the sun, repeating a set of movements.

  Long Xing sat down at the doorstep, he carefully looked at the girl in front of him. The girl was wearing a tight-fitting sportswear that perfectly outlined her figure, with a head of shiny black long hair hanging straight to her waist, looking exceptionally soft and beautiful.

  "Awake?" The girl's voice came over, like a heavenly sound, but the repeated action didn't stop.

  "Thank you for saving me, miss. May I ask where this place is?" Long Xing instinctively felt that the girl in front of him had no ill intentions towards him, and judging from her appearance, she shouldn't be his opponent either.

  "You didn't dare to rescue me, you were exhausted and drained of energy. I just brought you back to rest for a day and night, as for rescuing, it's still far from that. As for what this place is, all I can tell you is that it's a place where the Dark World cannot find." It was still that lazy tone, with movements that didn't stop.

  "Oh, thank you very much." Long Xing said as he stood up to leave, not wanting to waste any more time here. After all, his purpose had not been achieved at all, and on the contrary, he had been severely injured by the Pope of the Dark Church and two other despicable guys. His body's defense was supposed to be impenetrable even to bullets, but unexpectedly, that guy who used shockwaves had attacked with such ferocity.

  "I suggest you find a place to hide for now, the Dark Vatican isn't just made up of the Pope and the Grand Inquisitor, if you can listen to me, it's best to wait until your powers grow stronger before going after them, or find some help, after all, a centuries-old church can't be destroyed by one person alone." The woman's voice still didn't have any emotional fluctuations, as if she was just muttering to herself, but her voice remained so melodious.

  Long Xing was taken aback by her words, and his original plan to take advantage of the time to launch a fierce counterattack and catch them off guard was forgotten. But when he heard the woman's words, Long Xing's heart began to stir again, and he realized that he had never really understood the Dark Temple. Earlier, it was just his impulsive nature, thinking that with his powerful physique, he could still escape in disarray.

  Long Xing couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how much you know about the Dark Temple, please tell me." Long Xing wasn't sure what this girl was doing, but from her tone it seemed like she knew a lot about the Dark Temple.

  The woman saw that Long Xing was still not giving up, so she stopped her own movements and slowly turned around, looking at the somewhat self-deprecating Long Xing with a hint of surprise. She had always thought that there wouldn't be such an obstinate fool who would still want to rush forward despite knowing he was no match for her.

  Long Xing was stunned at first sight, and saw that the woman in front of him had bright eyes and white teeth, with a delicate face and a perfect figure, paired with a pair of proud breasts and a calm expression, which could absolutely enchant any man, this was indeed an immortal fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

  The woman saw Long Xing's expression but didn't react in any other way, as if she had already gotten used to it. She looked at him with a hint of curiosity and said calmly: "According to the information I received two nights ago, the Dark Emperor has summoned his personal guest elder, who is someone with the ability to devour abilities. As for how powerful he is, that's not something you can understand. At the very least, he is one of the strongest people in the news I've received so far. This doesn't even include the elders within the Dark Temple itself. If you provoke them, it will be your death sentence. Moreover, right now, you're still not a match for that guest elder." After finishing her words, the woman took out a hair tie and tied up her hair, looking more spirited.

  Long Xing was shocked by what the woman said, and he only now realized how foolish his original decision had been. If he had really killed the Pope that day, he would probably have ended up dying himself.

  However, Long Xing still looked at the woman in front of him with some doubt and asked: "Then please ask, miss, how did you know all this? Are you also a member of the Dark Church?"

  The woman saw Long Xing ask this, slightly angry: "Hmph, the Dark Temple is not qualified to invite me as a disciple. If you insist on going alone, then please do so. Let's pretend I didn't say anything before. You can leave." The woman finished speaking and waved her hand, indicating that Long Xing could leave, clearly showing a gesture of sending him off.

  Long Xing realized he was in trouble and quickly apologized and offered compensation, only then did the matter come to an end. Afterwards, Long Xing chatted with the woman for a while and learned that her name was Yi Shui, a super sonic ability user, whose powers were several times stronger than those of bats. According to Yi Shui, her grandfather had been a renowned scientist and biochemist in the scientific community, but after successfully researching a genetic medicine, he was discovered by the Dark Church, which ultimately killed him in anger when they failed to obtain the genetic medicine.

  Later, Yishui discovered that Long Xing had actually dared to charge into the Dark Temple alone during his practice of his special abilities, and after a super heroic battle, Yishui found Long Xing at a hidden location a hundred miles away from where he lived and brought him back.

  The main reason she brought him back is that Ryner is an enemy of the Dark Church, so she considers whether she can cooperate with this person to achieve her own revenge against the Dark Church.

  Learning this, Long Xing also felt a bit guilty. After all, upon learning that the Dark Temple actually had so many powerful experts, and each one was no weaker than himself, Long Xing considered it for a moment before agreeing to her request. The two of them cooperated, their goal: to overthrow the Dark Temple.

  However, Long Xing didn't have any acquaintances here, nor a strong backing, so he made a request to Yi Shui: either she would go back with him to their country first and wait for his power to grow stronger before returning to eliminate the Dark Temple, since his "Dragon God Way" manual was still with Su Rui. If he wanted to take down the Dark Temple, he had to gain immense power in the shortest time possible, at least to the point where he wouldn't be afraid of their pursuit anymore. Alternatively, she could wait here for Long Xing to return after going back to his country and then reunite with him.

  Long Xing thought Ai Shui would object and return to Hua Guo with him, but unexpectedly she agreed and quickly went back inside to pack her things. She came out again, ignoring Long Xing's stunned expression, and directly asked if they could leave now.

  The seemingly smooth New York trip ended with a crushing defeat against the Dark Church and returning home with an absolutely beautiful woman, but was this return to China really that easy? The answer is obviously no, nobody knows.

  "Alright brothers, Xiao Feng's state is back... Haha, feels like this chapter was written extremely smoothly, yeah. Indeed, good books need to be written with heart. Haha. Brothers, starting tomorrow, Xiao Feng will go crazy, yeah, the specific situation of going crazy depends on each day's condition. Haha. Writing a few chapters and updating a few chapters, initial estimate, the possibility of three updates per day will be very high. So... Collecting, recommending, and fueling, haha."
