Chapter 134 Christmas Sleigh, Monster Talent, and Heavenly Reinforcements (asking for monthly tickets)
"Li Qingping, wait for me downstairs!" Xizel shouted while lying on the railing of the rooftop.
As if because he shouted too loudly, he covered his stomach and coughed, raised his right hand, and then suddenly a book with stripes engraved on it appeared in his palm.
Shark was stunned: "Are you the strange news messenger?"
"I have always been a gossip messenger. My two brothers are also gossip messengers." As he spoke, Xizel took out a card from the gossip atlas and raised the corner of his mouth, "I found it."
The shark looked closely and saw an orange light pattern printed on the back of the card.
"Card with orange light pattern?" Ji Minghuan was stunned for a second. "Generational wonder?"
Before the shark could react, César crushed the card, his white hair blew high, and his blue eyes shone with a strange light.
The next moment, the cry of an elk sounded clearly in the air, like a distant song.
Following the source of the sound, I saw two reindeers wearing Santa hats flying from the other side of the sky. There was a bell rope tied around their necks, and a red sled was dragged at the end of the rope.
The elk stepped on the snow, their hooves rising and falling, accompanied by the howling snow and wind. They dragged the sled through the swimming fish, passed through the spire of the floating castle, and finally stopped in front of the rooftop.
Xizel held the crystal ball in his arms, got on the Christmas sleigh, and rode down to the courtyard of the floating castle. He stretched out his hand to Li Qingping in mid-air:
"Li Qingping, let's go upstairs and talk!"
Li Qingping was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and shrugged, suddenly grabbed the third prince's hand, and got into the sled.
He sat with Cesar. In the whistling snow, the elk dragged the sled, like a long snake of snow, flying towards the top of the whale's box garden.
Schools of fluorescent fish passed by them, stirring up a sea breeze mixed with wet waves, making the sky of the small garden brightly lit. Looking up, they could see dolphins tumbling across the sea through the almost transparent whale skin.
Looking down at the sea surface in the whale's box garden, the islands gradually shrank into tiny dots of light in their eyes, dancing in the world as night fell.
It didn't seem like this was Li Qingping's first time riding on Caesar's Christmas sleigh. Compared to Caesar's happy expression, his expression looked very dull, as if he was playing with a child.
After a while, Li Qingping turned his head and took a look at the shark in the crystal ball:
"Nobe Shark? Your Highness, is this a gift from the king?"
"Yes, this is my father's birthday gift to me." Xizel nodded, "And didn't I tell you? When you are with me, just call me Xizel."
"Your Highness Xizel."
"I admire you, Li Qingping."
Xizel smiled, and his light white hair fluttered in the wind.
At this moment, a voice with a pure Beijing accent suddenly came out from the crystal ball, breaking the brief silence between the two: "Li Qingping, you idiot."
Xi Ze'er's whole body tensed up.
Li Qingping was slightly stunned, wondering if the sound of the wind and snow stirred up by the elk was too loud, or if he was too busy today and was dizzy, causing him to have auditory hallucinations.
"Nobeshark spoke? And it was a Lijing-flavored national treasure?"
Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and looked at the Nobel Shark in the crystal ball.
The Nobel Shark ignored him and stared at the fish flying in the sky.
"How strange." Li Qingping thought expressionlessly.
He just raised his head and was about to talk to the third prince, but he heard another faint voice coming from the crystal ball:
"Li Qingping is such an idiot."
Li Qingping suddenly lowered his head and stared at the crystal ball motionlessly.
The palm-sized Nobe shark was seen with its head tilted, revealing only its bulging gills. Its watery eyes stared at the third prince with an innocent look on its face.
"What's going on..." Li Qingping frowned, and the braids on his head swayed in the wind.
"Shh!" César held the crystal ball and leaned to the other side, lowered his head and gestured to the shark to keep quiet, then asked in a low voice: "Yagubaru, what language are you mumbling?"
"This is a language used by Oriental people. We call it 'Chinese'." Shark said, "In Chinese, 'Li Qingping Da Shabi' means Li Qingping is super awesome."
"Oh, so that's how it is. 'Li Qingping, big idiot', I wrote it down. When I learn it, I will also praise Li Qingping in Chinese in this way."
Xi Ze paused and whispered, "Yagubaru, it turns out that you also like Li Qingping after seeing him in person."
Li Qingping looked at Xizel's sneaky back and finally couldn't help asking:
"Your Highness, are you talking to that Nobe shark?"
"No." Xizel shook his head and said in panic, "Li Qingping, you heard it wrong."
"Really?"
Xizel turned around with a sheep-like smile on his face: "You really heard it wrong."
"If Your Highness doesn't mind, can I borrow this shark for one night?"
"No, this is a birthday present my father gave me!" Xizel hugged the crystal ball tightly.
"All right……"
Looking at the innocent smile of the third prince, Li Qingping shrugged his shoulders and thought that today was really a hell of a day. First, he encountered a 20-meter-tall demon robbing an auction, and then he met a talking Nobel shark.
But to be honest...even if a species like the Nobel shark mutates genetically and becomes an animal as talkative as a parrot, it shouldn't pose any threat, right?
But the question is... why did beautiful Chinese come out of the mouth of this Nobel shark?
The Christmas sleigh flew across the sky, and the two remained silent.
Cesar closed his eyes and raised his arms high, feeling the water and wind brushing against his cheeks, his white hair swaying violently.
He said, "Only when you come to see me will I dare to let the Christmas sleigh take us for a ride, otherwise my father and mother will definitely scold me to death."
Li Qingping remained silent.
He lowered his eyes and scanned several other floating cities. In the courtyard of one of the castles, the eldest prince and the second prince were sitting on the lawn drinking afternoon tea, tilting their heads and quietly looking at the sleigh flying in the sky.
The eldest prince had a faint smile on his face, narrowed his eyes, and waved at them;
The second prince had a blank expression and a cold look on his face, and he quickly looked away.
"Your Highness Xizel, let's go back." Li Qingping suddenly said.
"Want to go back? Okay."
In the howling snow and wind, two elks dragged the sled down towards the castle and finally stopped in front of the rooftop.
Li Qingping got off the sled first, landed on the rooftop, then reached out and pulled the third prince.
"Where have you been all this time, Li Qingping?" Xizel asked impatiently.
"I go to school normally in the human world," Li Qingping replied. "During the holidays, I look for oddities everywhere to improve myself."
"I see." Xizel said, "Everyone says that you are tired of the world of the gossip messenger and don't want to come back."
“That may be part of the reason.”
"That's great." Cesar said, "I want to be like you and go wherever I want."
"You will definitely be able to do it in the future." Li Qingping raised his hand, hesitating whether to touch his head.
Just as he was about to pull his hand back, Cesar suddenly leaned his head closer.
He pressed his hand against Li Qingping's like a little animal and looked at him with a smile.
Li Qingping was stunned for a moment, then he touched his head with a smile. Xizel's white hair was soft and swayed slightly in his palm.
If Li Qingping didn't have excellent hearing and could hear a shark in the crystal ball repeating "Li Qingping, you idiot" like a parrot, he would definitely be in a very good mood.
Soon, the two men and the shark came into the bedroom and sat down on the soft bed.
"Tell me about what happened outside?" Cesar said, "Was the Tokyo auction you took my second brother to have fun?"
"It's quite fun. There are a lot of interesting people." Li Qingping nodded.
He hesitated, then said, "There was a magician at the auction who liked to play cards. He stuffed cards into everyone's pockets, performed a magic trick... and then 'Boom', everyone disappeared."
"Wow, what an amazing magic!" César clapped his hands and exclaimed.
The shark nodded in agreement in the crystal ball, thinking, "Yeah, yeah, what a magical trick, it only blew more than a hundred people into thin air!"
Xizel thought about it and suddenly asked in confusion: "But, didn't you say that the auction is a place to sell things? Why would someone perform magic?"
“Improvisation.”
"Li Qingping, are you trying to fool me again?"
"Nothing."
"So what else is fun at the auction?"
Li Qingping scratched his cheek. "Uh... there was a pig among the guests at the auction. His name is 'Zhou Jiuya'. He can sleep a lot and didn't wake up until the auction was over."
"Hahahaha, what an interesting pig! Could it be a magical creature?"
"I also think this pig is quite magical. It should be a magical animal."
"Hmm... I really want to attend the auction." Xizel hung his head and said with emotion.
"There will be a chance."
Then Li Qingping first talked to Xizel about the new video games in the human world, then talked about how busy high school students are with their studies, and finally talked about a friend he met outside named "Gu Wenyu".
He also said that he confessed the matter of the strange news envoy to Gu Wenyu, although he only confessed half of it.
"Actually, I've known him for a long time." Li Qingping smiled.
"Then why didn't you mention him to me before?" Xizel turned to look at him.
"I always feel it's hard to say it."
"I see. You must be worried that he will get involved in danger." Xizel smiled.
"Maybe..." Li Qingping shook his head. "It's getting late today. I'll leave first, Your Highness Xizel."
Xizel was silent for a while, then raised his blue eyes and stared at him: "Will you go back tomorrow?"
"No, I will stay in the small garden for the rest of the time."
"Really?" Cesar's eyes lit up.
"Really." Li Qingping paused and lowered his voice, "I have some things to do. I can't leave here until I finish these things."
"Great, I was worried you'd leave tomorrow."
"By the way, His Highness Xizel." Li Qingping hesitated, "How are you and the other two princes doing recently?"
Xizel nodded: "It's okay. My brothers come to see me occasionally and bring me food."
"That's good."
Li Qingping left, and the palm-sized phoenix grew bigger and became a giant bird, carrying him away from the floating city.
Xizel stared at his receding back in a daze, then slowly collapsed backwards and fell on the bed.
"Why didn't you tell me that you had a generation-level wonder?" the shark in the crystal ball spoke.
Xi Zeer explained: "When I was 9 years old, my brothers and father took me to the Royal Palace. At that time, I suddenly resonated with a strange fragment left by a hero - the 'Christmas Sleigh', and then naturally bound to that fragment."
"Isn't this earlier than Li Qingping? Li Qingping is a genius seen once in a thousand years, then what kind of monster are you?" Ji Minghuan's heart moved slightly.
He finally understood why the first and second princes targeted the third prince. It was because the third prince possessed a talent that was unprecedented and unrivaled in the world of the strange news messenger...
How could such a monstrous prince not be favored by the king?
"What happened next?" Shark asked again, "Didn't you resonate with those strange fragments in the King's Palace?"
"It's not that simple... But it could also be that my level of Wonder User is not high enough." Xizel said, "I'm a D-level Wonder User, which is the lowest level among Wonder Users. I can only bind one generational-level Wonder Fragment at most, so other generational-level fragments will no longer resonate with me."
He shook his head: "But it's too arrogant to say that... In fact, for a normal person to be able to bind a generation-level wonder is already very lucky. Not everyone is a genius like Li Qingping."
“You’re a genius too.”
"I just got lucky."
"You haven't practiced at all, so how do you know you're not a genius?" Shark asked, "If you raise your level as a Stranger, won't you be able to bind more Generational Fragments?"
"My health is not good." Xizel said, "My father said that I am very talented and wanted to let me practice after I grow up... He also said that I will become the greatest news messenger in the future and the greatest monarch of the Whale King Court, but I am not interested in power or status at all. I think my two brothers are more suitable to be king than me."
He paused and said, "I just want to be like Li Qingping and see how big the world outside is."
"The premise is that you have to be alive."
"Alive?" Xizel was stunned for a moment and looked down at the shark in the crystal ball.
"Yes...alive." Shark emphasized again.
Xizel was puzzled: "I am safe here, and everyone is very kind to me. Yagubaru, why do you say that?"
"You'll soon find out," said the shark darkly.
"You're so weird."
Through the glass of the crystal ball, the shark's eyes looked up at the sky on the rooftop, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"If the shark was in the stomach of a normal whale, it would have probably burst the whale's stomach directly from the inside if it had maximized its size... But the legendary whale is 200 meters long, and inside its body is a bizarre continent."
"Even if I maximize the shark, it is still insignificant in this continent, not to mention the impact it will have on the whale's body. Therefore, if I want to eat the legendary whale, I can only do it in the real world."
"But this is also a good thing. It means that if there is a huge conflict with the people in the Whale Garden later, I can make Yagubaru's body super-giant to fight against the enemy."
"Especially the 'Royal Court Team' that Li Qingping is in. If the Royal Court Team stands on the side of the first and second princes instead of the third prince, then one day, I am bound to clash with them... But can Li Qingping and I defeat the other six strange news users who each have a 'generational' fragment?"
At this moment, a name suddenly appeared in Ji Minghuan's mind:
——"White Crow Brigade."
"Yes..." The shark's eyes widened. "If I were to swallow the legendary whale in one gulp, wouldn't all the priceless treasures in the royal treasury be wasted?"
"On the other hand, I can use the treasures in the treasury as an additional bargaining chip!"
"The captain will definitely be interested in these treasures. I can use these treasures to make a deal with him and lure the wolf into the house - let him bring the people of the White Crow Brigade into the Whale Box Garden, and together with me and Li Qingping... turn this world upside down."
