The group of four (excluding Qingyu): "..." (Even though they were on the same side, they were still speechless at this move.)
An eerie silence fell over the scene, with only the shrunken Skykirk breathing evenly and deeply in Qingyu's arms, even smacking her lips as she slept soundly.
After a long silence, Navelette took a deep breath, trying to express her utter despair in the most official tone: "You... have you started expanding your 'cross-age population transfer business'?" (A euphemism: You're trafficking children?)
"What child trafficking?! This is rescuing underage children! Don't you understand?!"
Qingyu retorted loudly, as if he had been greatly insulted.
He looked around and happened to see D'Artagnan and Arecino walking by while chatting. His eyes lit up, and he darted forward and naturally placed the silver-haired little girl in D'Artagnan's arms.
D'Artagnan instinctively caught the soft bundle, looked down at the little girl's sleeping face, and then looked up at Arecino beside her with a puzzled expression.
"Why do you make me hold you? Shouldn't servants be better at taking care of people?"
Arecino glanced at the little girl expressionlessly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in her red eyes, but she remained silent.
Qingyu explained lazily, "Because she is your master, Skirk."
"Oh, Master."
D'Artagnan nodded subconsciously, and it took her brain two seconds to process the information.
"master--!!!!!!"
D'Artagnan immediately let out a piercing, high-pitched explosion, comparable to a soprano's voice, sharp enough to shatter glass!
He nearly dropped the little Silky Kirk in his arms in his flustered state, then quickly grabbed her tightly, frozen in place as if struck by lightning, his expression completely out of control.
Ignoring the petrified Tartaglia and the jaws of those around him dropping in astonishment, Zhang Chu cleared his throat and steered the conversation back on track: "Never mind that brat. The Wolf King should have finished his business by now; we should get down to business."
"OK! Watch me!"
Erkang made a flamboyant gesture, and his figure vanished in a flash, leaving only a gust of wind behind.
The next second, everyone heard a soft "click" coming from the direction of the Cardinal of the Decree, as if some intricate mechanism had been opened.
Immediately afterwards, Er Kang's figure reappeared, carrying in his hand a... a blue figure dressed in divine armor, looking bewildered, and of miniature size—it was Fukaros himself!
Fukalos looked at the suddenly changed scene around him and the group of dumbfounded people, and made a small, confused sound.
Aside from Navelette, Luminous, Paimon, and the quartet who were already mentally prepared, everyone else (including Fryna, who had just regained her senses) had their jaws dislocated again, this time with an exceptionally clear sound.
Navelette maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but his slightly trembling fingertips and instantly contracted pupils betrayed the turmoil within him.
"Um...this...brave warrior? Could you please let me go?"
Fukalos spoke cautiously and awkwardly to Erkang, who was carrying her.
"No problem! Please take this, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Erkang gently placed Fukalos on the ground as if she were a fragile object, and even straightened her non-existent skirt.
Just then, a deafening roar came from the sky, and a huge shadow fell over the sky.
Wolf King's twenty-meter-tall mecha body landed steadily, causing the ground to shake three times.
"Mission accomplished."
The Wolf King's mechanical voice remained as steady as ever.
"A consensus has been reached with Sky Island. From now on, the water level of Fontaine will permanently stop rising, and the so-called punishment mechanism of 'original sin' has been permanently abolished. Heaven's justice... will no longer pursue Fontaine for this matter."
These words were like another thunderbolt, stunning Fucarus, who had just gotten up.
“This… um… great mechanic.”
Fukalos's voice trembled, filled with unbelievable ecstasy and immense confusion.
"Excuse me... how exactly did you do that?"
She had imagined countless scenarios of negotiation, bargaining, and even sacrifice, but she never expected it to be so...simple?
Upon hearing this, the Wolf King silently raised its massive mechanical fist, powerful enough to crush mountains, its surface still crackling with lingering arcs of energy.
It answered Fucarus's question with its actions.
When Fukalos saw the fist that was bigger than her whole body, she instantly understood and wisely shut her mouth tightly, even making a zipping motion with her hand around her mouth.
Got it, it's physical persuasion! Perfectly reasonable!
Chapter 101 Water Gun Battle
"Alas! Hahahaha! Gu Qianchong! Left, left!"
The girl-like Skirk excitedly sat on Gu Qian's broad, platform-like shoulders, swinging her legs, holding an exaggeratedly shaped water gun in her hand, spraying wildly in front of her, and letting out a silvery laugh.
Gu Qian, the seven-meter-tall Thunder King, now seemed to have become the most reliable mount and mobile fortress.
He carefully protected the "little master" on his shoulder with one hand to prevent her from falling, while with the other hand he held a giant water gun that was comparable to a fire hose, clumsily spraying water at the opposite side.
Although his water gun was incredibly powerful, his massive size made him the most conspicuous target. He was already soaked through, with water droplets constantly dripping from his thick fur.
The "Fufu" duo, Funina and Fukaros, hid behind Gu Qian, who was acting as a "human barrier," and occasionally peeked out to launch water gun attacks, having a great time as if they had been relieved of all their burdens.
"How wonderful! Hahaha! Witness the power of my Gatling water gun!"
Er Kang laughed arrogantly, holding a multi-barreled rotating water gun. The water spray formed a wall, creating a powerful suppressive force.
Zhang Chu and Qing Yu, hiding behind a makeshift "shield" made from a roadside billboard, were so scalded by the water pressure that they could barely open their eyes, their faces darkening.
"That idiot... when he runs out of ammo, I'm going to shove this water gun in his mouth!"
Zhang Chu gritted his teeth and wiped the water off his face.
Qingyu nodded silently, already devising how to implement the plan elegantly.
Ying and Paimon, who were also on Erkang's team, smiled helplessly as they coordinated their shooting.
Paimon flew through the air, spraying people with his little water gun while shouting, "Watch how powerful Paimon is!... Ouch!"
As a result, he was focused down by the opposing team and almost became a soaking wet Paimon.
at this time--
"Click... hiss..."
Er Kang's arrogant Gatling water gun suddenly stopped spinning, only emitting a few weak sprays of water.
Er Kang stopped in his tracks, puzzled, and looked down to examine the magazine (a huge plastic water bottle).
"Holy crap! We're out of bullets!"
This news spread like heavenly music throughout the "battlefield"!
"Opportunity! Focus fire on that Er Kang!"
"Prepare to die, Erkang!"
"Let him taste what it's like to be thoroughly soaked!"
The group, who had just been on the defensive, instantly turned their guns around, and countless jets of water shot towards Er Kang like arrows of revenge!
"Waaaaah! You guys have no sportsmanship!"
Er Kang ran away with his head in his hands, but was instantly soaked to the bone by the dense jets of water, his hair plastered to his scalp, looking utterly disheveled.
"Erkang!! Die!!!"
Zhang Chu, his eyes bloodshot with rage, kicked aside the billboard shield in front of him. To Qing Yu's astonishment, he pulled out a single-soldier water balloon RPG launcher from behind his back! The barrel was filled with colorful balloons filled with water!
"Holy crap! Old Zhang, are you serious?!"
Er Kang was so frightened that he ran away as fast as he could.
But it's too late!
"Boom-bang!"
"Whoosh—bang bang bang!"
Several large water balloons accurately hit Er Kang's back and buttocks, exploding into a spray of water.
Er Kang stumbled and fell to the ground, completely losing his fighting ability, and could only lie on the ground pretending to be dead.
Because they lost their main firepower, Ying and Paimon were quickly "besieged" by the others and also became soaking wet.
The whole scene was chaotic yet joyful, with water splashing everywhere and laughter ringing out, as if it were the most chaotic and uninhibited water fight in Fontainebleau's history.
Not far away, Navelette, who was on vacation, sat elegantly under a parasol with a glass of water in her hand. Watching this chaotic scene, she shook her head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile slightly.
Hmm, it's a wise decision to temporarily hand over the work to the Wolf King.
The crazy water gun battle continued until sunset, when everyone finally stopped, exhausted, wringing out their soaked clothes, but with smiles of pure enjoyment on their faces.
Skirk jumped off Gugan's shoulder. Although she had turned into a young girl, she seemed to retain some maturity. She smiled and waved to everyone before running towards Tadalia, who was waiting nearby.
She is currently being cared for by this apprentice, and D'Artagnan seems quite content with it, wearing a fatherly smile on his face.
The next morning.
In the guest room arranged by the Fireplace House, Silky woke up from her sleep, rubbing her throbbing temples.
She looked at her limbs, which were formed from abyssal energy, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Yesterday's chaotic yet joyful memories flooded back like a tide—water fights while sitting on giants' shoulders, sneaking up behind others to ambush them, and the comical scene of that guy named Er Kang being blasted away by a water balloon RPG...
"Is it...a dream?"
She murmured to herself, her tone carrying a hint of disappointment that she herself was unaware of.
"Hey! Master! You're awake!"
At that moment, D'Artagnan pushed open the door and entered, carrying a breakfast that looked quite lavish, with a bright (and somewhat silly) smile on his face.
Silky looked at him, paused for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, a tiny smile playing on her lips.
It seems those absurd yet heartwarming things weren't just dreams.
Although it's a bit embarrassing... but it feels... not bad?
My butt still seems a little sore. Did I fall yesterday?
