Chapter 751 Another Tea Party Gathering
Xu Ning closed his eyes, refusing to watch the battle between the young master and the giant whale, and then tried to slowly pull his consciousness out of this sea of wombs.
This was the first time he had ever wanted to actively withdraw from this unconscious state.
This wasn't the first time Xu Ning had entered such a consciousness space. He was mostly passively drawn in, and he would wake up from the memory at the end of that memory or when the memory's owner experienced strong emotional fluctuations.
However, actively ending a memory is still a very new experience for Xu Ning.
Xu Ning tried several times, but could not easily get out of this place.
Are we just supposed to watch the young master and the giant whale continue their battle within this vast ocean of wombs? How long will that take?
But at that moment, Xu Ning suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness coming from beside him.
The chill, mixed with a hint of inexplicable killing intent, stimulated Xu Ning's consciousness in waves.
Taking advantage of the chill, Xu Ning abruptly withdrew his consciousness into his sea of consciousness, finally opening his true eyes.
The first thing he saw was Shen He, who was standing in front of him holding a long spear.
Xu Ning had lost count of how many times Shen He had stood in front of him while he was lost in thought.
In the direction Shen He was facing, Leosley adopted a boxing stance, his expression shifting between hesitation and determination, his mood unpredictable.
The two chills I felt in the primordial womb came from Leosley and Shen He.
Before Xu Ning could ask any questions, Shen He briefly recounted what had just happened.
It turned out that shortly after Xu Ning suddenly entered into meditation, the gate on the ground here suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it were being constantly battered by ocean waves.
Leosley immediately noticed Xu Ning's unusual behavior and quickly concluded that the turmoil in the fetal sea was probably caused by him bringing Xu Ning here.
So just as Leosley slowly took out a huge iron gauntlet and put it on, Shen He emerged from the Dust-Hidden Cave with his spear and stood in front of Xu Ning, just like the young master and the giant whale in the Fetal Sea, facing off against each other.
"Your Grace, please hold your hand."
Leosley chuckled inwardly. I don't want to stop, do you think that girl on the other side is willing?
Lowering his raised iron fists, Leosley slowly spoke, "Do you know what that commotion just now was about?"
Xu Ning nodded and pointed to his eyes.
"I saw it with my own eyes, there is no doubt about it."
Then Xu Ning told Leosley everything he had seen in the primordial sea of consciousness.
Of course, the emotions of the giant whale that I sensed were left unmentioned.
When he heard that a giant whale was lurking in the primordial sea beneath his feet, Leosley, who was usually composed, couldn't help but show a hint of horror.
"So, that young executor has been confronting that giant whale ever since he disappeared? The turbulent current that just crashed against the gate was the aftershock of their battle in the Fetal Sea? He's actually been guarding this place in the Fetal Sea all along?"
Xu Ning nodded and said, "Although I don't think that guy necessarily knows what he's doing, based on what we've seen so far, he has indeed temporarily held off that giant beast."
Leosley pondered, "If that's the case, then the severity of this incident is comparable to the first flood season's invasion of giant beasts. We not only have to deal with the rising water level, but also the possibility of giant whales appearing."
"Just continue to deal with the prophecy according to the original steps. As for that giant whale... let the young master and I deal with it for the time being. At least for now, only the two of us can come into contact with it."
After Xu Ning finished speaking, he smiled and said, "There is one more thing I need to trouble Your Grace, the Duke. Now that we have confirmed the young master's whereabouts, we should go back and report. After all, time waits for no one. Let's leave the prison-themed life experience for next time. We will have to ask you to issue a pardon."
Leosley laughed, "Your suggestion goes against the principles of justice that Fontaine has always upheld. How about this, I'll put the remaining sentence on your tab. If you can get through this crisis safely, then you can serve the rest of your sentence."
"Oh, right, take those three little guys with you too. Those Fools, seeing that I've taken out all their spies, deliberately sent three little guys to provoke me. I don't know if they think I won't kill them or if they just don't care about their lives?"
Xu Ning agreed, "After I go up, I will ask the servant for you and tell you the answer next time I come."
Xu Ning did indeed keep his word, and immediately went to see the servant executive officer after leaving.
However, Xu Ning's visit to the servant was not of his own volition, but rather an invitation from the Water God.
"I must say that my unique charm as a god has captivated that executor. Even when my judge is too busy with official duties to appear, that servant still repeatedly requests to have tea with me again. How could I keep my esteemed people waiting too long? So I will hold another tea party just like last time, and you can attend as well."
The messenger was Claude, who also relayed the news of Xu Ning's release from prison to the Water God. As for this message, Claude translated it as usual.
"Lady Funina means that the servant has been urging and pressuring her several times, and since the judge refused to stand up for her, she can no longer refuse. Please go to her as soon as possible and accompany her to the tea party."
Of course, since Xu Ning took Sora and the three little fools with him according to his agreement with Leosley, and took them directly to the tea party, Lady Funina immediately relaxed a lot when she saw so many people present.
So when the servant brought out the cake, which was supposedly a limited edition and only sixteen slices could be bought each time, Lady Funina immediately became very happy and focused on eating the cake, leaving the conversation to Xu Ning and the servant.
Xu Ning's first question was the one he asked on behalf of Leosley.
The servant smiled faintly. "This is hardly a question you would ask. After all, you and I seem to be the same kind of people. You should know the answer to this question very well. These children are all my family, but as children of the Hearth House, some things are unavoidable. I don't need to hide or beautify these behaviors, but I will never sit idly by and watch certain things happen."
"Since you asked the question first, and I have already given the answer, now it's my turn to ask. What are you doing now, young master?"
