Chapter 1798
Who is Dad?
Yu Qisui shone brightly in the competition.
Only then did everyone realize that his spiritual body had advanced.
However, none of them recognized the phoenix, nor did they associate it with the legendary divine bird; they simply assumed that You Qisui's quantum beast was a more powerful pheasant. -_-||
A few people, however, seemed thoughtful upon seeing the phoenix, as if they had read related records before.
They just couldn't remember where they saw it.
Feeling it wasn't particularly important, these people put it out of their minds.
In this competition, You Qisui's team won the championship.
You Qisui became a celebrity in the interstellar world, attracting the attention of many big shots. The military and some famous mercenary groups extended invitations to him.
Which faction wouldn't want a genius who can both heal and fight?
Liu Tong waited for You Qisui for five days before You Qisui finally had some free time.
You Qisui was too busy; besides the victory celebration banquet, he also had many social engagements.
As family members of the champion team members, Liu Dong and the elf girl also attended the celebration banquet.
As the main character, You Qisui and the girl's brother were too busy. They only exchanged a few words with Liu Dong and the elf girl before being pulled away by the others.
Liu Dong and the elf girl were enjoying themselves.
The food at the victory banquet was delicious, featuring specialties from the Elf and Mermaid tribes, which Liu Dong and the Elf girl couldn't stop eating.
The two of them nestled comfortably in a corner of the hall, enjoying the rare delicacies.
Although the two were not short of money, they could not usually enjoy this kind of specially made delicacy.
This time, we're going to eat to our hearts' content.
The others were disdainful of their behavior, but said nothing, too lazy to bother with two nobodys.
The elf girl felt that she and Liu Tong were a good match, and she was very reluctant to part with such a friend.
The two exchanged contact information, and the elf girl invited Liu Qiu to visit the star system where the elves lived, to which Liu Qiu accepted.
The next day, You Qisui, who finally had some free time, came to find Liu Tong and, as agreed, took her to visit the underwater city of the merfolk.
The girl's brother also came to visit his sister, and they went to the underwater city together.
The four of them decided to set off together.
The underwater city is incredibly beautiful, entirely constructed of crystal, just like the legendary Dragon Palace.
The underwater city is isolated by an energy shield. Once inside, one can enter freely and trust each other as if on land, without any diving equipment.
However, since this is a city in water, open flames are not possible, so food is not as plentiful as it is on land.
Therefore, most of the food here is fresh, such as raw fish and sushi.
Yanagi doesn't like raw food, and she doesn't like sushi either.
What's so delicious about rice with vinegar and some raw seafood?
If you asked Yanagi to choose, he thought ramen was much tastier than sushi.
Because they are not on land, the mermaids have transformed their legs back into fish tails, just like the mermaids in fairy tales, making them a delight to behold.
The mermaids in this world should be related to the legendary merfolk, because many mermaids can also weave cloth.
The woven cloth has a similar function to silk gauze, being impervious to water and fire, and possessing a certain degree of physical defense.
Mermaid silk is the most profitable commodity for the mermaid race and is sought after by all races.
Unfortunately, the production of silk gauze is very low, and even less is sold abroad each year.
They saw clothes made of mermaid silk in the underwater city, but the price deterred the four of them.
Yu Qisui amassed a fortune thanks to the tranquilizer, but he only bought two pieces of clothing made of silk, not the more expensive outer garments, but the simplest shirts.
One for myself, and one for Liu Dong.
After buying them, the two put on the shirts.
With their coats covering them, no one knew they were wearing millions of dollars worth of clothing, so no one would rob them.
The two had a great time and soon it was time for dinner.
Although I ate some snacks, I still needed to eat a proper meal. Upon entering the restaurant, I saw the two elf siblings.
The older brother, Aix, waved to You Qisui, who then led Liu Qiu forward and sat down at a table with the brother and sister.
The elf girl Alice smiled and said, "If there are more people, we can order more dishes."
Liu Dong nodded in agreement.
The four people started ordering food.
The other three ordered fresh seafood, while Liu Tong ordered simple hot dishes such as boiled shrimp, steamed scallops with garlic, and steamed fish.
There was a wide variety of drinks, and they were all delicious.
Liu Tong ordered three drinks by herself.
……
When Liu Dong woke up, he found himself in a small metal house. You Qisui was beside him, along with an elf girl and her brother.
All four of them fell for the trick!
The main reason was that they never expected that the most famous restaurant in the underwater city would drug its customers!
Isn't the restaurant owner afraid of having their business license revoked?
He was unaware that the restaurant owner had no idea about the incident until the police came knocking on his door, at which point he learned that his restaurant had been visited by space pirates.
Space pirates killed the restaurant's employees and kidnapped the restaurant's customers.
Those guests are likely in grave danger.
The restaurant owner was devastated; who would dare to eat at his restaurant in the future?
The restaurant owner regretted it; he regretted contacting the space pirates.
Liu Dong noticed something was wrong with her body and mind.
His body was weak, and his mind was being eroded by the drugs. If this continued, his mind would collapse in two hours.
Liu Tong: "..."
So cruel!
However, isn't this kind of drug that erodes the mental body a banned substance?
Moreover, their numbers are extremely limited.
Even on the black market, it's not easy to buy such medicine; it requires a lot of money.
Who was so generous as to spend so much money and effort to buy banned drugs and use them on those four people?
Are they You Qisui's enemies?
Are they people who are jealous of him?
Liu Tong was very clear about her position: an unrelated passerby who was implicated by You Qisui.
Perhaps, You Qisui is the protagonist of a certain story.
After all, this forbidden drug is useless against the phoenix. Even if the phoenix dies from the drug, it can still be reborn!
Of course, the banned drug had no effect on him either.
Willow trees have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying.
This is just an ordinary willow tree; a hollow willow like his would only possess even greater abilities!
Liu Dong sat down cross-legged and began practicing his unique martial arts technique.
Before long, the poison in his body was expelled, and the toxins that had been eroding his spirit were absorbed by the willow tree and transformed into energy that was useful to him.
When Liu Dong opened her eyes, You Qisui and the two siblings, Jingling and You Qisui, had already woken up.
Yu Qisui and Aix quickly realized what had happened and also sensed the abnormality in their physical and mental bodies.
The two of them looked extremely grim.
Even if they manage to escape with their lives after being given this banned drug, their lives will be ruined.
You Qisui: "I'm sorry!"
He has realized that he has implicated three people.
He somewhat regretted being too high-profile before! (End of Chapter)
