Chapter 43: I Don't Suck As Well As She Does

To this, what could Jiang Wang possibly have to say?

Guard of the Southern Heavenly Gate: "Go on with your business, I was merely bored and dropped in to have a look."

Upon hearing Jiang Wang's words, Hu Liena's expression improved significantly.

"Many thanks to the Immortal Lord for your understanding." Hu Liena's complexion flushed a healthy pink. Her face flushed, indeed, but the faces of the several Titled Douluo standing before her immediately turned green.

The Pope fared no better.

Witnessing this, Jiang Wang chuckled softly and then exited the livestream room.

Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate, squads of heavenly soldiers were patrolling.

Jiang Wang stood guard outside the Southern Heavenly Gate with an expressionless face.

Just as he was idle with nothing to do, a Heavenly General quietly approached Jiang Wang and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, thank you for your help regarding the dragon princess last time."

Jiang Wang was momentarily stunned. The dragon princess Yancai?

This Heavenly General was none other than the one who had previously led a group of heavenly soldiers to gorge themselves in the Dragon Palace.

However, that incident with the dragon princess Yancai had already happened quite some days ago and had long since settled. What could this Heavenly General possibly mean by bringing it up now?

Not knowing the general's intentions, Jiang Wang found it difficult to give a rash reply.

"The General jests. We all serve in the Heavenly Court, so this was merely part of our duty. How could it be considered help?"

Jiang Wang acted quite modestly.

Although the Heavenly General's status was only a notch higher than his, in a place like the Heavenly Court, no one could ever be certain what kind of formidable deity might be standing behind an ordinary fellow daoist they interacted with daily.

Being cautious could never go wrong.

A smile emerged on the Heavenly General's face. "You are too modest, Fellow Daoist! If you hadn't captured the dragon princess and preserved the Heavenly Court's dignity under the threat of that demonic monkey, the rest of us would not have had such an easy time reporting back!"

Only then did Jiang Wang confirm it.

This Heavenly General was perhaps genuinely here to express his gratitude!

Earlier, when the Six-Eared Macaque threatened him, the Heavenly Generals had arrived tardily, finally trapping the macaque using the Seven-Star Formation.

Had he not debated reason with the Six-Eared Macaque, and had the King Who Holds the Nation not descended to find the heavenly generals and soldiers allowing a demonic immortal to act presumptuously, the fate of those heavenly soldiers and generals probably would not have been very pleasant.

"Fellow Daoist, tomorrow is a day of rest, and we heavenly soldiers and generals are holding an immortal gathering. I wonder if you might be free?" the Heavenly General asked with a smile.

"An immortal gathering? I wonder what this immortal gathering is..." Jiang Wang asked curiously.

He had heard of the Peach Banquet, but what on earth was an immortal gathering?

The Heavenly General did not answer directly, instead transmitting his voice: "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, the immortal gathering will never violate the Heavenly Codes. It is merely a gathering for us heavenly soldiers and generals to expound on the Dao and exchange pills and immortal methods."

"I see. Then I shall gladly intrude and attend."

The so-called immortal gathering was presumably a gathering of low-ranking immortals in the Heavenly Court.

Everyone would gather to expound on the Dao and conveniently trade things they needed.

Jiang Wang was not lacking in immortal methods.

The Great Prime Heavenly Immortal Technique he practiced was a supreme cultivation art deduced from fragments of the Creation Jade Disc.

It was simply not on the same level as the Lesser Prime Heavenly Immortal Technique practiced by the ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals.

Although his cultivation method was of a much higher grade, Jiang Wang knew that in such immortal gatherings, the true focus actually lay in "trading."

Among them, the most mainstream items for exchange were none other than magic treasures, medicinal pills, and talismans.

Jiang Wang had nothing else, but as for medicinal pills—he could refine them!

He still remembered his agreement with the heavenly official responsible for breeding spiritual beasts!

He took matters concerning immortal pills very seriously; otherwise, if the other party came looking for him and he failed to produce the pills, it would not bode well.

"Very well, Fellow Daoist. Just come here tomorrow." After leaving an address with Jiang Wang, the Heavenly General departed.

After this brief episode, Jiang Wang continued to slack off.

Inside the chat group, a lively conversation was currently underway.

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: "Everyone, it seems my teacher has designated me as the next Pope."

Queen of the Snake People: "Congratulations! Just watched your livestream, you were truly amazing! Several veteran powerhouses didn't even dare to move in front of you."

Wasted Prophet: "An immortal pill from the Immortal Lord truly altered your destiny! A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and martial soul evolution... Your luck is simply too good, fellow."

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: "Hehe, who told me to be the Immortal Lord's very first exchanger?"

Rin, My Rin: "@Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, could you describe how it feels after consuming the immortal pill compared to before?"

Wandering Earth: "@Southern Heavenly Gate Guard, Immortal Lord? Is the immortal you all call upon this one?"

Wasted Prophet: "Indeed."

Wandering Earth: "@Southern Heavenly Gate Guard, Immortal Lord, I currently have a tiny problem. Do you have any solution over there?"

Southern Heavenly Gate Guard: "You really treat me like a problem-solving machine, don't you?"

Wasted Prophet: "@Wandering Earth, Mother Earth, you mustn't trouble the Immortal Lord so casually. Even if you do, you must pay an equivalent reward."

Wandering Earth: "Pay an equivalent reward? Very well..."

Just as the chat group was in a state of chaotic chatter, a notification sound suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

[Group Quest Released!]

[Quest System: Current group member "Wandering Earth" is about to suffer a catastrophic disaster! Please help "Wandering Earth" evade this catastrophe!]

[Quest Reward: 4,000 points.]

Wasted Prophet: "Eh? A chat group quest? First time seeing one."

Queen of the Snake People: "What kind of catastrophic disaster? Are there any quest hints? I want points! 4,000 points—that can be exchanged for four immortal pills from the Immortal Lord!"

Old Celestial Master: "One must know one's own limitations; this old man had best not meddle."

Rin, My Rin: "4 immortal pills? They can revive Rin! I want to join the quest. Do I just need to save Wandering Earth? I have confidence!"

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation: "Having just consumed the Immortal Lord's immortal pill, I feel I can also help Wandering Earth."

Southern Heavenly Gate Guard: "Well then... Wandering Earth, what is your catastrophic disaster? Can you tell us about it?"

Jiang Wang had already guessed what Wandering Earth's impending catastrophe was.

It was currently approaching Jupiter.

Since it was about to reach Jupiter, the catastrophic disaster was naturally being drawn in by Jupiter's gravity and ultimately torn apart.

Wasted Prophet: "@Wandering Earth, your catastrophic disaster... couldn't be Jupiter, could it?"

Wandering Earth: "Eh, you guessed right! Those heartless humans pushed me right near Jupiter. Didn't they know Jupiter's gravity is su—per massive? This girl doesn't have such strong suction capabilities herself!"

Compared to the Earth, Jupiter's gravity was obviously inferior to the Sun's.

Throughout the entire solar system, all planets revolved around the Sun.

As long as the Sun lived, Jupiter, the largest planet, remained merely a planet after all.

That was, however, back when the Earth was honestly revolving in its own orbit.

In its home orbit, apart from the Sun, few celestial bodies in the solar system dared to bully the Earth.

Now that the Earth had been pushed out of its orbit by humans, its luck was no longer so favorable.

Compared to Jupiter, the Earth wandering through space was nothing more than a tiny, broken marble.

When the Earth passed in front of Jupiter, its fate was already sealed.
