181: Chapter 181: It Seems to Be a Bit Too Big 181: Chapter 181: It Seems to Be a Bit Too Big I have to say, Ocoro does have a knack for speechmaking—it’s kind of mesmerizing. But when you think about it carefully, it seems like it’s all just fluff, not a single useful thing. “I really admire these people; they can make such pointless talk seem so reasonable, and they can say so much of it,” Zhao Guang couldn’t help but mutter under his breath. It’s practically a staple for leaders. Indeed, the reason I could never become a leader wasn’t external; it was me. If I can’t even nail down these basic skills, how could I possibly lead others? Only after Ocoro had finished did these Grand Dukes, like chickens injected with adrenaline, get all fired up, their eyes turning red. They didn’t even wait for the banquet to start; they just started whooping and set off. Such great manipulators, Zhao Guang thought as he watched their retreating figures. The banquet was the same as usual, without any special changes. Those coffees and white sugars and such—how could the nobles possibly let ordinary soldiers enjoy them? They were happy enough just to get to enjoy a hot pot meal; that was already a treat for them. After waiting for the banquet to end, Zhao Guang led his people back to his own doorstep. He opened the Space Gate and began moving things through. Once the transfer was complete, Zhao Guang took out a tape measure and started measuring. “It really has gotten bigger, though not by much. Could it be because of the Magic Power?” Zhao Guang had a feeling that the change in the Space Gate was tied to his own Magic Power. Perhaps as soon as his Magic Power broke through, he might be able to delve deeper into the secrets of this Space Gate. To have complete control over the Space Gate, to never have to worry about it falling into someone else’s hands, mental training was of the utmost importance. But for now, he didn’t want to think too much about it. Xi Fei was waiting for him just over there. Just thinking about Xi Fei made Zhao Guang feel a warmth in his heart, a truly addictive sensation. “Master, are you done?” Xi Fei’s eyes lit up when she saw Zhao Guang, and she pounced on him, clinging to his body. If Zhao Guang hadn’t been physically strong, his neck would have been yanked out of place. “Why so desperate? Where’s Jeana?” Zhao Guang looked around. It wasn’t that he missed Jeana all that much, but because she had given him an earful before. Today, Zhao Guang actually felt a bit embarrassed to look at her. If the young girl saw them, how would he maintain his dignity in the future? “Jeana? She’s gone to the Beastmen. A Beastman took her over there to train, umm...” Zhao Guang felt something was off. Looking down, he saw Xi Fei with flushed cheeks, her whole being seeming to be in a frenzied state. That state, I like... “Not at home, huh? Well, that’s good, no need to worry about disturbing her then. So, I eat you first, then you eat.” “As long as you’ve decided, Master...” Xi Fei’s body grew even hotter. Zhao Guang headed straight for his bedroom. Zhao Guang came out holding his back. “Seems like now’s not a good time to train Combat Energy, better to train Magic Power instead.” After resting for a while, wanting to move around, Zhao Guang started on his tasks for the day. When Xi Fei came out to eat, Zhao Guang slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten something important. There were still so many things in his house that he hadn’t dealt with yet. “Xi Fei, I’m going to head back first, I still have some things to take care of. If you run into any trouble, you can go to the human military camp for help,” said Zhao Guang, noticing that the Beastmen really didn’t like Xi Fei. But humans were different; they were very tolerant of someone as beautiful as Xi Fei. Especially since she had a good master, the humans were even more willing to help out, considering it a favor to Zhao Guang. “Master, go ahead with your tasks, I won’t have any problems here,” Xi Fei obediently said. The past few days of comfort had brought a radiant glow to Xi Fei’s face, making her look more graceful with each passing day. Zhao Guang nodded in satisfaction, then turned to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something. “Right, do you want anything, like clothes or the like?” Zhao Guang finally realized that Xi Fei seemed to have only one set of clothes, and it wasn’t even particularly nice. After all, what nice clothes could the Beastmen have prepared for Xi Fei? If she were to have prettier clothes, she would surely look even more beautiful, thought Zhao Guang with a surge of excitement. “As long as it’s from Master, Xi Fei likes it all,” Xi Fei responded, her eyes lighting up. Indeed, which girl doesn’t like beautiful clothes? It was just her status that kept her desires restrained. “Alright, I’ll bring you some books later, and you can look through them to see what kind of styles you want,” Zhao Guang said and finally walked away, indeed needing to take care of things at home. Gold and such actually didn’t matter much to Zhao Guang; what he cared about were those creatures running amok outside. Looking down from the upper floor, there were Beastmen resembling loaves of bread scurrying about. Chained up and unable to run far, the frustrated Beastmen unleashed their only spell on the others. Bursts of Air Cannon, but they were not very effective against their own kind. “Not bad, not bad. It looks like it won’t take long for them to exhaust their Air Cannons.” After all, Earth didn’t have the magic power to replenish them, and once it was used up, they’d be the same as ordinary animals. However, hearing the “bang, bang, bang” sounds, Zhao Guang paused his activities, deciding to wait a bit longer. Only when these sounds had almost completely stopped did Zhao Guang take out his phone. “It’s getting late, better notify them quickly, so as not to have any problems if it takes too long.” Zhao Guang made the call to tell his older sister to come and transport the gold. “Another batch? You’re fast; how much is it this time?” “Amount? It’ll be a bit more than last time.” “A bit more? How much is that? Give me an exact number,” Zhao Yan was skeptical of Zhao Guang’s words. There was no point in hiding it, so it was better to just say it: “It’s not a lot, just about twice as much as last time,” he divulged. Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan gasped in astonishment. She knew full well how much the gold was worth; she had a clear understanding from Huang Haopeng. And this money, Zhao Guang could easily access. Since when had her younger brother become so formidable? It was no longer a matter of family pride, but one of shock and awe. Fortunately, Zhao Guang was still the same irreverent person as before; otherwise, she would have insisted on taking him to the hospital for a checkup. “Alright, I got it. But honestly, you really need to find a new place to live,” Zhao Yan advised as a matter of course.
