Chapter 521: Heading to the Water Nation
Soon, the day of Xu Que's departure arrived.
In the days leading up to it, Xu Que had lived a quite happy life, reading poems and writing couplets with Madame Ya.
Whenever Xu Que had time, he would bring hamburgers, ice cream, and coffee to nourish Madame Ya's and Su Xiao Qi's bodies so that the two could become more powerful.
As for Su Ling'er, in the few days since she had taken the Ice Jade Pill, she had been cultivating in her room alone.
Xu Que was becoming a bit impatient and worried about Su Ling'er.
Until the day Xu Que was set to leave, her cultivation was still not over. Su Ling'er was now going through a critical moment for her Spiritual Root.
Later, Xu Que was told that it took at least a month, three to four months at most, for one to "digest" a Ice Jade Pill.
If I had known this earlier, I would have given the Ice Jade Pill to Su Ling'er a long time ago... and the "some other day" she talked about, well, it seems that I can't wait for that day now.
"What a terribly, terribly sad story..." Xu Que stood outside the door of the palace and sang.
He had already packed and was going to leave.
Su Xiao Qi and Madame Ya had come to see him off, but Buttface wanted to go overseas with Xu Que, so he stole some food from the kitchen and put the food into a bag.
To make things less awkward, Xu Que summoned his thunder illusion body of Hero Li Bai, and he himself changed into the form of Sun Wu Kong.
Su Xiao Qi and Madame Ya were feeling rather sad.
"You dead monkey, once you finish your business, come back! You must come back before the chocolate you gave me runs out!" Su Xiao Qi said.
"Hero Li Bai, I will wait for you until the day you come back." Madame Ya's eyes were watering.
Xu Que and Buttface jumped up and got into the teleportation array.
"Goodbye! Wait for me!"
The teleportation array was rotating rather quickly...
Bang!
Xu Que, Buttface, and Hero Li Bai all disappeared.
...
Xu Que and Buttface thought they had only spent about half an hour in the teleportation array, but when they arrived at the Water Nation, they found that it had already been two days.
Buttface hurriedly opened his bag and began to devour the food inside.
Seeing this, Xu Que shook his head and said, "If I were you, I would never eat that pile of crap. You always surprise me!"
"F*ck you! You know what, I brought a huge octopus to the kitchen and intended to ask you to cook it for me. I waited and waited until it began to rot, so it's all your fault. You've indulged yourself with wine and sex for too long!"
Hearing this, Xu Que felt a bit embarrassed. During his time in the Fire Nation, he had been staying with Madame Ya constantly and hadn't had the time to cook for Buttface.
Even so, he didn't want Buttface to call him out on this business.
"Oh, really?! You think this is my fault?! Seafood usually rots rather quickly, you have to keep it in an environment with low temperature. Or you can lay it in the sun and dry it, then roast it if you like."
"Really? Why don't you tell me earlier?"
"Have I ever lied to you before? Go to the bottom of the sea and kill all of the Sea Tribe, then bring me some seafood, and I will cook it for you."
"Never mind. I'm on a diet these days, besides, I'm not a foodie!"
Hearing Xu Que suggest he destroy the entire Sea Tribe, Buttface was a bit afraid and immediately made an excuse.
...
They were now on the border between the Water Nation and the Golden Nation. In front of them was a wild and barren land.
Xu Que had been on this road before, but he was still a bit shocked by the scene in front of him.
On the left, it was a land of ice, while on the other side, the mountains were still green, and the river was babbling.
"If I'm right, this is the region of the Snow City. What, are you going to see your old beau?" Buttface asked.
"Old beau? What on earth are you saying?" Xu Que was confused.
"That female General, Situ... Situ Hai Dai!" Buttface said.
"Nonsense! Her name is Situ Hai Tang! Anyway, I haven't seen her in a while, since the last time I was in the Imperial City."
"She's such a marvelous person and a real General on the battlefield. As for you, you're just a juvenile man who calls himself the head of the Exploding Heavens Faction and cheats people wherever he goes. In a word, she's too good for you."
Hearing this, Xu Que was a bit cross and hit Buttface on the head.
Buttface quickly dodged his hit and backed off, thirty feet away. "Young man, I can recall all the magic inscriptions I have ever used in my previous life. You could not possibly hit me."
"Really?! You can recall what happened in your previous life?" Xu Que was surprised.
"Of course! I'm famous for my perfect memory!" Buttface said proudly.
Xu Que forced out a smile.
You say you're famous for your perfect memory? For god's sake, if you have a good memory, how could you forget that I drugged you with an aphrodisiac?
...
Xu Que and Buttface were heading to the Snow City. Xu Que wanted to pay a visit to Situ Hai Tang, as well as the Imperial City.
During the journey, Xu Que tried to find out if Buttface really had a so-called perfect memory of his previous life, but at last, he found that Buttface recalled only one magic inscription he ever used, nothing more.
Finally, they arrived at the Snow City.
It was snowing, and the sun was shining. Against the sunlight, the snowflakes looked extremely beautiful and sparkly. The entire Snow City looked as beautiful as a picture.
At that time, the Snow City was bustling and full of people, just as it was before.
Xu Que and Buttface arrived at the city gates.
"Stop! No demonic beasts are allowed to enter the city."
...
"What?" both Xu Que and Buttface were stunned.
The two turned around and saw a young man wearing armor standing at the city walls.
Beside him there were many soldiers standing around the young man, and Xu Que knew none of them.
"What happened? Where's that female General?" Buttface was surprised.
Xu Que frowned.
The Snow City looked just like it had before, but the General who guarded the city walls and all the other soldiers of the Snow City had all been replaced.
What on earth happened?
