Chapter Thirty-Seven: New Year's War
Although I was scammed out of 6 million, it's a bit heart-wrenching, but I suddenly discovered that it wasn't completely without gain. My father's attitude towards me is even more favorable, almost to the point of being sycophantic! No wonder, who made me his god of wealth? Not only him, but also the servants and guards in the mansion are extremely respectful towards me, and my brothers are centered around me. It seems that this world's idea of respecting the strong is deeply ingrained indeed!
It's been a year and a half, and I've had a great time. In school, my words are more effective than the principal's, whether it's teachers or students, they all listen to me. Who made me beat up the principal? Fortunately, I'm not one to show off, except for intentionally causing trouble for the Stone family's kids a few times. Otherwise, I wouldn't bully anyone else. Now, the number one expert here is my big brother. He has a sturdy and majestic physique, fully inheriting our father's appearance. At just 12 years old, he looks like a 16-year-old, and his training is extremely diligent and hardworking. With his natural talent and my guidance, even if he were to fight against 16-year-olds, he would still win! Now, he already has hints of aura, and if he really develops aura at the age of 12, he will definitely be the youngest Bronze Warrior on the continent. My father was 14 when he got it, which is already considered a miracle. Ordinary elite children usually get aura after they turn 16. As long as you have aura, you are at least a Bronze Warrior! Another gain is Xianya, whose current level is fifth in class, all thanks to her hard work. What's depressing is me - that damn seal has made no progress for me. I can feel the advancement of my Taiji Divine Art, but it's all sealed within my body. The amount of spiritual energy I can use is still the same; only the total amount of spells I release has increased a lot. As for the two princesses, they're even more impressive - having suffered greatly since childhood, their demands on themselves are sky-high, and their diligent efforts have yielded extraordinary returns. They can already use second-level spells with great proficiency. Except for us three, others who can use first-level spells are already quite good. You know that generally, 16-year-olds who can cast third-level spells and become novice magicians are considered geniuses.
The days passed quickly, and before I knew it, the holiday had arrived. The customs here are similar to those of Westerners on Earth, and Christmas is also celebrated. I suspect that the church here has a connection with the Christian Church on Earth, as there are too many similarities!
Everyone gathers together to spend Christmas, with the king hosting a grand banquet in the palace. All the big shots in the kingdom come to attend, even bringing their relatives, and suddenly there are thousands of people. Fortunately, the palace is really not small, so many people can still fit inside without feeling crowded. Hundreds of large tables are set up, filled with delicacies from land and sea, waiters shuttle back and forth, delivering fine wines to every corner, everywhere is filled with music and dance, a scene of prosperous 'corruption'!
At this time, nature is a good friend and playmate. The adults are together 'corrupting' each other, while we kids don't dare to openly discuss the 'women' topic they're talking about, so we gather together to discuss something else instead. I'm with my brothers and Xianya, the princesses are all together. Everyone's eating and drinking, having a great time! Suddenly, a commotion on the square catches our attention. Geez, at this place, someone dares to start a fight? We can't even sit still, let's go take a look. But the road is already blocked by people, we can only see from afar that there are two people fighting in a circle surrounded by others, and they seem to be quite skilled! Listening to the distant sounds, I'm getting anxious!
"Brother Five, I want to watch!" The Fire Princess was lively and energetic, usually didn't have the chance to see excitement, so she wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Even the normally calm Ice Princess looked at me with hopeful eyes. Dammit! Who said you can't lose face in front of girls?!
I've made up my mind, so I called over Guai Shi. He's been following me everywhere since then. I told him to get a bit bigger, just like the lead cow. Then I had the two princesses and Xian Ya climb onto his back. I said to my brothers, "If you want to see some excitement, follow me!"
"Bad! The demonic beast is startled, quickly scatter!" Under my command, Gai Ci let out a loud roar, the sound shaking the surroundings and scaring everyone around. As Gai Ci charged forward, people scrambled to get out of the way. Taking advantage of the situation, Gai Ci continued to charge forward, occasionally letting out a fierce roar that sent shivers down people's spines. The four of us rode on Gai Ci's back, with my brothers following behind. We made our way through the streets, causing chaos and destruction wherever we went, but I paid no attention to it. Just then, a figure emerged - Shi Yuan Jia's eldest son, Shi Yuan Yi Lang, the commander of the Xuan Wu army. It turned out that his second brother was fighting with my cousin Long Qing Yun, and he thought I was there to help. With past grievances between our families, he didn't hesitate to attack without saying a word. He concentrated all his energy into his fist and struck Gai Ci's head, thinking it would be easy to kill an ordinary brown bear and make us all look like fools. In his mind, he had already prepared an excuse - "I was forced to kill the demonic beast to save the children who were frightened by it!"
The poor guy looked at this white idiot, crying and laughing at the same time. How dare a newly-minted Golden Warrior provoke the Great Bear of the Earth? The thing that didn't know life from death. The black aura unique to the Ishihara family fiercely smashed onto Gajee's head, of course without any brain splattering scene. This attack had no effect other than enraging Gajee. Enraged Gajee lightly "stroked" the front chest of Ishihara Ichirou with his hand. That guy was still wondering why his attack was ineffective when Gajee's bear palm slapped him, although I tried my best to suppress Gajee's attacking power and he also withdrew most of it, poor Ishihara Ichirou was still slapped flying while vomiting blood, the sound of bones breaking echoing throughout the scene.
Ishihara Ichirou was huge, over 2 meters tall and several hundred pounds heavy. After being knocked back a few meters, he crushed the person who had been blocking my way, then rolled into the fighting area. I took advantage of the opportunity to approach the scene and found that they had already stopped fighting. Whoa! It wasn't until then that I realized who was fighting... My older cousin was standing off to the side, his clothes disheveled and with a black eye, looking like he'd been at a disadvantage.
But because Shiina Shirou wasn't as pathetic as him, however now Shiina Shirou is supporting his half-dead brother and crying!
Like the police who always arrive late, the guards who maintain order also don't have the habit of arriving early. After seven or eight people lifted and carried away Stone Wolf to be treated, Stone Wolf Two glared at me with venomous resentment and roared: "It's you again! You damned bastard!"
"Are you stupid? Can't you see he's asking for it?" I'm not afraid of him.
"You...!" he cursed, and then rushed up. My elder brother was beaten by him and was in a difficult situation, seeing him take action, hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, the two of them started fighting again with a series of loud crashes.
"Hehe! Now I can see clearly!" The poor Taoist said to the Fire Princess
"Oh no! I wanted to see some excitement, but not get you into trouble! What are we going to do now? You'd better run first!" said Huo Gongzhu.
"Run today, can't run tomorrow, don't worry, nothing's wrong, they're almost done fighting, take a look!"
"Look over there!" The Fire Princess suddenly said to me
Originally, dozens of younger generations in the Ishihara family saw their own people at a disadvantage and began to surround our Long family. Of course, there were still many friends who helped us on this side, with over 10 people, led by my other cousin Long QingSong, who was studying at the Holy Capital Advanced Magic Martial Academy and had returned home for winter break along with two princes.
"Go help!" I led the brothers to go, and put down the princesses, they can't participate. I instructed the brothers to pick up the dishes on the table, use the throwing method to attract a few fools, and then get together to knock out the brought white idiots.
Unexpectedly, the Ishihara family wasn't all stupid. Seeing me there, they didn't approach me and instead threw dishes at me from a distance. Ah, it seems that having more people is an advantage! I don't dare ride on the carriage again, it's too conspicuous. So I hid behind the carriage and counterattacked, occasionally using my magic to launch sneak attacks. My principle is that if someone has aura or magic protecting them, I'll use dishes to greet them. After all, my magic can't hurt them anyway. If they don't have protection... heh heh, just wait for them to get electrocuted into a mess! The dishes naturally had no accuracy, and it was inevitable that innocent people would be hit and counterattack. More and more people joined in, creating a vicious cycle of throwing dishes and counterattacking. In the end, it became chaotic like a big mess. Of course, there were some idiots who wanted to stand out and turn the tide.
"I am the Duke of XX, I order you to stop!" Then he was definitely knocked down by countless dishes.
"I am an XX official! I..." The rest was drowned out by the sound of dishes and chopsticks.
They don't even think about the people here, who else cares about them if they are not in the background?
The last chaos was finally calmed down when the king ordered the troops to take action. A few arrogant nobles, who dared to throw dishes at the heads of the Imperial Guards, were immediately beaten to the ground by the fierce soldiers with wooden clubs and then tied up and taken away. With them as an example, people cooperated very well and put down their weapons.
The entire square was filled with hundreds of people drenched in soup, except for Xianya and me. After we started fighting, we hid in a corner, putting Gai Zhi in front, and exchanged blows. Gai Zhi took quite a few hits, but he didn't get angry at all. Under the isolation of the earth element, his fur was spotless, and the dishes that fell to the ground, he ate with relish. My brothers and I got separated, I looked around and saw those poor guys and two elder cousins together, haha! They were also in a sorry state!
