The lotus withered, the dragon veins were severely damaged!
This signified that the reign of the "Great New Dynasty" was truly facing serious problems.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was "turbulent and unstable."
Almost at the same time, the entire "Central Continent" trembled.
As if sensing this event.
Or perhaps celebrating it.
All the "Nascent Soul Ancestors" of the "Imperial Court Faction" felt a simultaneous connection.
They all looked up at the sky, their expressions filled with shock and awe.
This... this was a sign of impending change!
...
The Imperial Capital of Great New.
Four figures were passing through the wide and magnificent city gate, entering the "Imperial City."
The guards on duty were captivated by the "Buddha's light phenomenon" in the sky and terrified by the cracking sound of the "Nation-Stabilizing Cauldron." They were dazed, having forgotten to give these four "country bumpkins" any trouble.
The group of four entered the city gate with ease.
This quartet was a peculiar combination.
Leading the way were two young, handsome, and incomparably dashing youths.
One of them, his sharp edge concealed, had eyes so bright they were frightening, making it impossible to look directly at him.
The other, breathtakingly handsome, possessed an evil charm. A "wickedly proud and unrestrained" smile was perpetually plastered on his face, making one want to punch him.
Following these two youngsters was a "mad beggar."
This "mad beggar" was mentally unstable, acting erratically.
His gaze was always fixed, carrying the unique aura of the truly deranged.
"Hehehe, is this the imperial capital? It looks so prosperous! In such a prosperous place, if there was a nuclear explosion, boom! Hehehe, that would be so satisfying!"
"Right, right, it's been a long time since a nuclear explosion. I also really want a nuclear explosion. Why don't we have one?"
"But, we don't know the nuclear explosion code! Hehehe, the imperial capital is so prosperous, perhaps someone knows our nuclear explosion code. Let's ask around... Hey, villager, do you know my nuclear explosion code?"
The "mad beggar" suddenly extended a hand and grabbed a beautiful woman passing by him.
"Villager, if you tell me the nuclear explosion code, I'll let you... hehehe..."
The "mad beggar" let out a series of chilling laughs.
"Ahhh..."
The beautiful young woman was clearly from a wealthy family. She was extremely well-maintained and dressed in fine silks and brocades. When had she ever encountered such a "madman"?
The moment the "mad beggar" grabbed her arm, the beautiful young woman's face turned ashen with fear, and she let out a high-pitched scream.
"Help! What do you want? Don't do anything rash!"
The beautiful young woman struggled desperately, trying to break free from the "mad beggar's" grip.
However, despite his gaunt appearance, the "mad beggar's" grip was terrifyingly strong.
No matter how much the beautiful young woman struggled, the "mad beggar's" hold on her arm remained as unyielding as an iron clamp.
Unable to break free, the beautiful young woman's piercing screams attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. Even the "city guards" nearby frowned and looked over.
"Let go, let go quickly! You lunatics, what are you doing causing trouble!"
The "mad beggar's" voice suddenly changed, as if he had transformed into someone else entirely, becoming righteous and dignified.
The "mad beggar" yelled indignantly.
"What nuclear explosion code? Stop thinking about nuclear explosion codes all day! We're here with Young Master to become his disciples! Once we become his disciples, the senior will be our grand-master, that's way more satisfying! Isn't that better than a nuclear explosion!"
Saying this, the "mad beggar's" other hand reached out to pull at his first hand.
Soon, his first hand was pulled away from the beautiful woman.
The first hand seemed to be displeased, and the two hands began to twist and wrestle.
Crackling sounds...
It was quite a lively fight!
The onlookers were all stunned!
This madman had truly embraced his madness, creating his own unique style!
The beautiful woman, now free, stopped screaming and quickly retreated.
Alas, she should never have gone out alone to meet her lover today. Fine, she would return to her mansion and stay with her deceased husband.
The beautiful woman felt that encountering the "mad beggar" today was a result of her unfaithfulness, secretly sneaking out to meet her lover.
Now that she was repentant, all her problems should be resolved, right!
Before this thought could fully form, a sudden event occurred!
Bang!
The beautiful woman bumped her head into a "wall."
The impact made stars dance before her eyes, and the world spun. She began to fall backward.
Just as the beautiful woman was about to fall, a "wall" suddenly moved.
A "wall" extended an arm and firmly supported the beautiful woman.
Hey, hey, hey...
Why was a "wall" moving? And it even grew an arm?
The beautiful woman was completely bewildered. She thought she must have been dazed by the impact.
She was hallucinating!
Otherwise, how could a "wall" sprout an arm?
At this moment, the "wall" spoke.
"Sister, are you alright!"
The voice was incredibly deep and full of manly charm!
It's over, it's over, my injuries must be really severe!
The beautiful woman felt heartbroken for herself.
She was even having auditory hallucinations!
The "wall" was speaking, this was too serious!
Seeing the beautiful woman's lack of reaction, the "wall" felt self-reproach.
"Sister, it's all my fault for bumping into you so hard. I apologize!"
Hmm, this voice is so real, so manly, it doesn't sound like a hallucination!
Hearing the "wall" speak, the beautiful woman subconsciously opened her eyes.
Upon seeing, she discovered that the "wall" was actually a person!
The "wall," or rather, this person, was strong and burly, with muscles like coiled ropes, resembling a mountain of flesh.
Such a solid, robust man!
Just one glance, and the beautiful woman's mouth began to water.
She felt that this must be "compensation" from heaven.
She had prayed to the heavens more than once, "Lord, grant me a strong man!"
Her wish had come true!
Feeling the warmth emanating from the "robust man" as he held her shoulder, the beautiful woman couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
"Ah, sir, you are so strong!"
The "robust man's" expression changed upon hearing this, and he became unhappy.
"Sister, I have no past grudges or recent enmity with you, why are you insulting me like this?"
"Ah, sir, what's wrong? Why are you saying that? I'm not insulting you!"
"Hmph! You still say you're not, you called me 'sir' again. I'm clearly a woman, just like you... Calling me 'sir,' isn't that an insult?"
