This time, the Golden Arm Mantis wanted to slash off Tolly’s head with its stout, spiny forelegs. As it leaped toward him, Tolly quickly took out the Duck Dagger from the item inventory of his system. Just before the stout, spiny forelegs were going to reach his head, Tolly quickly stabbed the Duck Dagger into its belly. With a few struggles, the Golden Arm Mantis fell down to the ground of the cave and died on the spot. “Sorry,” said Tolly, “I didn’t mean to kill you, but I have to, or else I’ll be killed.” Looking at the Duck Dagger, he was pleased that it was so powerful. After all, it was a poisonous dagger. Any creature that was cut by it would die instantly. Since the cave was going to fall, Tolly quickly got his Duck Dagger in his hand and placed it back into the item inventory of his system. After that, he decided to dash out of the cave. Yet, when he passed those illuminating primordial stones, he stopped. “I have to collect all these precious primordial stones. I’m pret
“Yeah, it’s my fault,” said Una, “actually, you should not have touched me as I have a lot of bags of poisons in my pocket.”Suddenly, Tolly remembered that he had patted her shoulders just a short while before.“You touched me a while ago, so that explained why you fainted. See, your fingers are still a little bit swollen.”Raising his fingers before him, Tolly saw they were swollen like steaming buns now.“Oh, my god,” said Tolly in surprise, “what am I supposed to do with them?”“Don’t worry,” said Una apologetically, “I’ve got antidotes.”Quickly, Una took out some white pills and handed them to him, “take these and you’ll be all right.”Without any hesitation, Tolly quickly swallowed them. In a few moments, all the pills worked inside his body. And his fingers bounced back to normal. At the same time, he did not feel dizzy at all.“Great,” said Tolly, “thank you, Una. Your pills have wonderful effects.”“It is I that should thank you, thank you for not blaming me for that,” said
In this way, after groping in the darkness for about five or six minutes, they were already inside the Numa Temple. Una pressed the button on one of the walls of the temple and instantly a small door appeared. They crept through the door and hid behind some big statues. Now all they had to do was keep silent and wait patiently for Emperor William to come to worship the Goddess of Numa. About three or four minutes later, Emperor William, accompanied by his officials and generals, reached the Numa Temple. He stepped off his royal carriage and went to the main hall of the Numa Temple, where he looked around for a while first. Then later he burned incense sticks, bowed low with all his officials, and offered prayers. “My dear Goddess of Numa, please bestow us with the best you can offer to us, I hope there is always peace here on Goldearth. May everything flourish and be prosperous here for all my people. May you bless us, bless Goldearth.” With that, Emperor William bowed again with
As Tolly was on his way back to Fanta Mansion, the Goddess of Numa immediately took action and started her plan to punish Emperor William, who was so wicked that he was not qualified to be an emperor anymore. When the Goddess of Numa saw the poem on the wall of the main hall, she fumed with rage. “He has no idea about how to secure his country with great virtue and morality. On the contrary, he shows no respect for the heavens and has insulted me with this dirty poem. How vile! The Rose Dynasty has already ruled over 300 years and is coming to an end. I must punish him if I’m to assuage my own conscience,” said the Goddess of Numa to her lads and lasses. “Nick,” said the Goddess of Numa to one of her lads, “go to the capital city of Zuma and try to kill Emperor William. He is a bastard!” “Yes, my dear Goddess of Numa,” said Nick, who immediately mounted a huge phoenix and headed for Zuma. Yet, Emperor William had one daughter and one son. The daughter was called Yana and the son w
“If you don’t want to call me elder brother,” said Tolly, “you can call me brother-in-law.”Tolly gave him a big smile while Tim gaped at him in fury. Without a doubt, Tolly quickly received another 50 Wrath points.“Do you mean you’ve already gotten the Old Yellow?” asked Tim.“Of course,” said Tolly, rubbing his nose a few times with his thumb, “That’s why I ask you to call me elder brother. Do you want me to remind you of your bet?”“But I think you must be a liar! If you aren’t, just show me some Old Yellow,” said Tim while holding out his hand for the Old Yellow.“It’s not for you. Let’s go to see your parents. And I’ll give the Old Yellow to them in person,” said Tolly firmly.“There’s no need,” said Tim, “You can give the Old Yellow to me and I’ll give it to my parents.”“To tell you the truth,” said Tolly, “You’re not the person I can trust. I only trust your sister Jenny and your parents now.”“Why are you so stubborn?” asked Tim, “I guess you don’t have any Old Yellow. That’
“You’ve got the Old Yellow?” said Fanta Lady again, soon her angry face morphing into a rictus of excitement,“Please show it to us. I’d like to see it now. my husband Fanta Lord is right, he has always been a good boy. I’ve never expected that he could get it so quickly.”“Mum, what are you doing?” Tim said unhappily, “he must be cheating on us. Don’t fall for it.”Tolly quickly got some Old Yellow from Infinite Space Bag and showed it to them,“Please check it out, and then you will know whether I’m a liar or not.”Fanta Lady quickly grabbed some Old Yellow from his hand and had a close look at it. Though she was not an expert on the Old Yellow, she used to see it a few times.After examining it carefully, she showed it to his husband Fanta Lord, who nodded with a big smile on his face, confirming that it was the Old Yellow that could help to purify their Sacred Fountain.“Great. It’s the Old Yellow we have always wanted to get,” said Fanta Lord excitedly, “you’ve helped us a lot th
“Oh, really?” said Fanta Lady in surprise, “since you can help in the downfall, I guess there’s a great chance for my husband…”“Stop…” said Fanta Lord quickly. He knew what his wife was going to say, but it should not be spoken out at the time.“My dear wife, let’s not say any words about Tolly’s dream now. We have to keep it in the dark now. Otherwise, we all might be in great danger,” added Fanta Lord.Fanta Lady, Tim, and Jenny all nodded. Fanta Lord then said to Tolly,“Especially you, Tolly. From now on, your dream is a top secret. You can’t tell anyone else.”“Understood, just between us, Fanta Lord, I mean, father-in-law,” said Tolly.“Call me Fanta Lord now, Tolly,” said Fanta Lord in a low voice, “Now it’s not proper to call me father-in-law. Now, I hope you can work hard on your cultivation and can win the competition finally.”“Don’t’ worry, I’m confident that I can defeat all those guards,” said Tolly quickly. Now with the help of those primordial stones that he collected
“I’ll kill you,” shouted Joseph, trying to employ the most powerful technique he mastered. However, as he decided to launch his most wicked attacks, suddenly Jenny and Tim were coming toward them.“What are you two doing here?” asked Jenny in surprise.“Oh, dear Miss,” said Joseph, stilling placing his hands on his face, “nothing, I’m playing a game with Tolly about how long we can place our hands on the face.”“Really?” asked Jenny. She saw Joseph’s face actually was swollen.“Yes, Jenny,” said Tolly with a happy smile, “You see I’ve lost. Joseph won the game. He even cannot get off his hands off his face.”“It sounds like it’s a funny game,” said Tim, “let’s play it together.”With that, Tim quickly put his hands on his face, trying to win the game. Joseph did not dare to get his hands off his face. He stood there and reluctantly played the game with Tim.“All right, I’ll go back to my room now,” said Tolly, “You two can play the game yourselves.”“Okay, no problem, Tolly,” said Tim
