Chapter 2695 The Power of Nicknames
Upon hearing the Spider Lord's words, Qu Jianlei instantly realized who had done such a thing, "Xiao Hu, you..."
“Give it a nickname,” the big-headed butterfly twirled merrily. “Since it cares, let it suffer.”
Qu Jianlei was both amused and exasperated. "You've gone astray, thinking about all sorts of things all day long... Hmm, it's better to be involved in something than to be without a hole!"
"Social anxiety is bad, isn't it? How can it be depressed?" Big-headed Butterfly didn't think depression was a bad thing.
In the previous life, if the eldest brother hadn't suffered from depression, how could it have been born?
The big-headed butterfly spun around twice more, "Water flows downwards... let's call it 'smoothing the seams'."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei was speechless. "You're really good at naming things!"
As they were talking, the white mist began to fluctuate violently.
Kan Shui Zhenjun was furious. "Little Spider, do you really want to die?"
"True Lord Without Holes? Haha, what a great name!" The young lady burst into laughter. "Little Spider, you're so talented!"
Then the spider sent out another thought, "Our pants... didn't fall down!"
This is your own fault! Almost everyone understood—who told this guy to be so cheeky and say that someone's pants were about to fall off?
As a sovereign, the spider was furious at this insult, so it's not unreasonable for him to retaliate by giving it a nickname, is it?
“Yes, you don’t have pants! Hahahaha,” the girl laughed heartily. “Hmm, no holes… what a great name.”
"No way!" The white mist panicked, knowing all too well the impact nicknames had on high-level cultivators.
Many nicknames, once given, are irresistible to the person who receives them, because they accurately describe a certain trait of yours.
Just like that few true beings, to this day, it still doesn't know the other party's real name.
Clearly, "not much" is definitely not a compliment; it even carries a subtle implication of mocking stinginess.
But would the True Venerable One, as the leader of the Six True Venerable Ones, like this nickname? Of course not.
But he had to swallow his pride and accept it—as long as it wasn't insulting, he had no reason to fly into a rage.
Of course, the most crucial point is: this should match one of his traits!
No pores... of course it fits the characteristics of water, no matter how evil the allusion behind it may be, it is a fact!
Kan Shui Zhenjun could even imagine that in the future, when people talked about the "one without holes" in terms of his merits and demerits, it would be too embarrassed to investigate!
The title of the True Lord cannot be mentioned casually, but how can he prove that he is the one being referred to?
—Am I the one you call omnipresent?
At that time, before it even had a chance to punish the other party, several of them would have already died laughing.
The spider stammered, "Then...then...the Slippery Crack, Slippery Crack Master?"
"I think you're asking for trouble!" Bai Wu roared in anger. "Slippery...slippery gap? I'll kill you!"
"Hahaha," the young lady's laughter rang out, "Talented, so talented, a clever trick... I'll use this for advertising from now on!"
"If you're not satisfied, True Lord Liufeng, come and kill me."
"Damn it," Bai Wu exclaimed angrily, her voice trembling with rage. "Fine, fine, you want to play like this? I'll promote it for you too!"
"Welcome!" the woman said casually. "You can choose any nickname you like. Let's see who has the better publicity!"
"Why bother?" True Monarch Kanshui readily backed down, even though it didn't think it was inferior to the other party in terms of propaganda skills.
Taiyuan Sea is a famous place for Dao discussions in the myriad realms of cultivation, and I have come into contact with quite a few True Lords there.
It is situated in a pure land, the renowned Jade Beauty Realm, where learned scholars gather and no uncultured people come and go.
But the nickname "Seamless" is really too much, much more so than "No Hole," and it really makes people's imaginations run wild.
However, at the same time, it is also... quite fitting!
The key point is that there were quite a lot of people there, so it wouldn't be difficult for this nickname to spread!
If anyone else dared to give it such a nickname, it would have been executed on the spot as a warning to others—such an insult to the Great Khan is outrageous!
But now, isn't it... that our strength doesn't allow it?
So it bluntly stated, "Taiyuan, we've known each other for so many years, is this really necessary?"
"Aren't you talking about Li Huo?" The young woman wasn't buying it; she remembered how this guy had lied to her before. "We were talking about Kan Shui!"
"Isn't this a change of training?" True Monarch Kanshui sighed. "Can you please stop publicizing this name?"
Taiyuan Hai remained unmoved. "What are the benefits?"
"Go ahead and say it," Kan Shui Zhenjun said weakly, "but I have my bottom line, you know what I mean."
"Help me lock that guy up," the woman said calmly. "I don't want 99%, I want 100%!"
“Well… I’ll try my best,” Kan Shui still didn’t dare to give up, “but first, I must find out through his methods!”
“Oh…he set an ambush,” the young woman replied, seemingly a little dazed. “But we still have two more days to travel.”
After pondering for a moment, True Monarch Kanshui laughed, "Haha, so your advance warning made everyone work for nothing?"
“That’s true,” the young woman replied calmly. “You’re absolutely right, Lord Liufeng. I feel a little ashamed.”
"Alright, pretend I wasn't laughing," Kan Shui Zhenjun immediately backed down, "I just felt... pfft, hahaha, I couldn't help it."
“Just keep laughing,” Tai Yuanhai said nonchalantly, “My spatial perception is a little too acute.”
She handled today's matter a bit... carelessly; the warning was issued a little too early.
But can we blame her? That person is extremely powerful. If she had a premeditated attack, the destructive power would only be greater, right?
She was already on high alert, trying to overestimate her opponent's strength and be overconfident in her assessment of the enemy. Wasn't that right?
Even Xiao Qu knew to warn her to be careful of ambushes—when they were chasing each other so closely, how could she not think of that?
Therefore, when she sensed a sudden spatial anomaly ahead, she made a decisive decision.
The anomaly was very subtle, but her spatial perception was absolutely flawless, and she would not underestimate a dying monarch.
But now, it's become a joke. The perception was indeed correct, but the trap... was a little too far away.
Thinking about Xiao Qu's disheveled escape from the sub-layer space, Tai Yuan Hai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
“You’re really perceptive, which has caused trouble for your people…” Bai Wu’s words were cut short.
However, it was too late. The spider transmitted its divine sense again, "Slippery, Slippery Crack, True, True Lord... Slippery Crack True Lord!"
"Alright," True Monarch Kan Shui conceded defeat, "Let's let bygones be bygones and pretend today's events never happened!"
That's true, but he didn't even bother to discuss it before making the decision.
That's why the Celestial Dragons are so annoying!
It's not about what they did, but rather the sense of superiority they inadvertently exuded, a deep-seated belief that they are better than you.
"Slippery, slippery seam master!"
"That damn spider!" Bai Wu muttered softly. "Taiyuan, can you shut it up?"
“It’s because you can’t keep your mouth shut,” Tai Yuanhai replied casually. “You can discuss it yourself.”
What's there to discuss! True Monarch Kan Shui knew all too well that he had indeed provoked the Spider Lord and many others.
So it decisively said, "Let's check the traps first, so I can pinpoint the scent... Damn, here it comes already?"
The next moment, endless spatial fluctuations emanated from in front of them.
Even from a great distance, one could feel the incredibly violent void fluctuations surging towards them.
Intuition tells me that it should be able to easily tear apart the True Venerable's body.
Those tremors that affected the soul were enough to plunge the Great Khan into eternal damnation.
The distance is indeed far, but it won't take long to get there.
"This is..." True Monarch Kanshui was quite surprised, "...detonated a secret point in the void?"
The "secret point" in this statement is a general term, referring to a collection of mysterious spatial points, and may even be a large area of abnormal space.
The mysteries of the void are countless and impossible to count; many of their enigmatic aspects cannot even be recorded in words.
Kan Shui Zhenjun did not travel in the void for too long, but as the guardian of Yuxiu Realm, he always had to maintain contact with the void.
It was no stranger to the secret, but what was truly remarkable was that it was able to confirm once again that the young lady had misjudged the situation.
"Taiyuan, didn't you say there were still two days of travel left?"
“The distance in the void is hard to determine, and the burst is also difficult to control,” Xiaoyou said calmly. “Being able to detect it in advance is quite remarkable.”
Ultimately, Taiyuan Hai felt a little ashamed just now, but it was really unnecessary.
Such a prediction was timely—we can't wait until disaster strikes before we realize our mistake, can we?
By now, the situation is quite clear: the other side discovered... at least to prevent being pursued from behind, so they set up an ambush.
This person chose to use a Void Point to detonate and kill the pursuers. Finding such a powerful point shows that they had planned this carefully.
Unfortunately, most of the traps in the void are related to spatial rules, which is exactly what Taiyuanhai excels at.
If Qu Jianlei hadn't warned her, the young lady would have had a good chance of falling for it.
While Taiyuan Hai was being very cautious, although he made a slight misjudgment, he didn't warn them too early; any later and it would have been too late.
This shows that the other party also knows Tai Yuanhai quite well, knows that she has extraordinary expertise in space, and has taken targeted precautions.
However, in the end, they did not succeed, and it can only be said that... both sides made their own misjudgments.
"These kinds of secret spots... aren't that hard to come by," Han Li said calmly, "but such a big commotion shows they've put a lot of thought into it."
His tone was calm, but the murderous intent subtly revealed in his words was palpable to everyone.
However, everyone present could understand – in fact, everyone felt the same way!
The other party is here to kill me. Even if it is a great king, who wouldn't be furious if someone wanted to kill him?
“This matter… cannot be left unresolved,” Xiaoyou said calmly, taking a deep breath.
"If Lord Kan Shui can pinpoint this person, I'll mediate the joke we were just making!"
The fact that she, who is usually calm and unhurried, could be so angry that she took on so much responsibility shows just how high her anger level was.
At this moment, it was still the most composed True Venerable Qingkong who asked, "Which direction should we run in?"
