58: Chapter 58 What to do when your husband comes? The irritable saintess instantly becomes socially awkward, and I have fine lines around my eyes!
Over the next three days, China's entire industrial machinery began a frantic operation for this "super dowry."
Yiwu.
Lights were blazing, machines were roaring.
"Boss! This batch of ancient-style solar lanterns needs to be rushed! What? You want to increase the price? This is a national mission! Once it's done, you'll be an Imperial Merchant!"
"That automatic foot bath, the voltage needs to be changed! Change it to a spirit stone-powered interface! The blueprints have already been sent down by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, just follow them and make it!"
Food factory.
"Add more spice! Add more numbness! People in the Taichu Realm have heavy palates! This batch of spicy strips must use special ghost peppers! Make them remember the taste of our China after just one bite!"
"happy water with ice! Where are the cold chain trucks? Get me two hundred cold chain trucks here! If it melts, it'll be a diplomatic incident!"
And in a top-secret base in Jinghua City.
More than a hundred white-haired Academicians and experts were packing their luggage with the same excitement as elementary school students before a field trip.
They didn't bring any change of clothes; their suitcases were stuffed with various instruments.
Portable spectrometers, micro-drones, sampling test tubes, and even butterfly nets.
"Old Li, why are you bringing that Geiger counter?" Chen Shuhua looked at Li Zhenbang stuffing instruments into his bag. "There's no nuclear radiation over there."
"What do you know!"
Li Zhenbang adjusted his glasses, looking serious: "I'm going to measure whether there is radiation in the spiritual energy! What if spiritual energy is some kind of high-energy particle stream? This is a Nobel Prize-level discovery!"
"Tch, shallow."
Chen Shuhua curled her lips and neatly arranged her suitcase full of vacuum tubes for collecting monster beast blood.
"I'm different. I'm going to restock the Earth's biological gene bank. I heard there are phoenixes there? I wonder if I can pluck a feather to clone it."
Looking at this group of old Academicians who added up to several thousand years old and were usually as steady as Mount Tai, yet were now all looking fanatical and eager to give it a go.
Jiang Chen stood at the door and suddenly felt a bit worried for the indigenous people of the Taichu Holy Land.
This wasn't an inspection team.
This was clearly a group of science geeks who had been starving for eight hundred years, charging into an undeveloped treasure trove.
Hopefully, the flowers, plants, demons, and ghosts of the Taichu Holy Land could hold on.
...
Three days later.
Taklamakan Desert base.
This place had already been filled with mountains of shipping containers.
The colorful containers shimmered with metallic luster under the sun, like a Great Wall made of supplies.
The huge teleportation array had been set up in the center of the desert.
This time, it wasn't the temporary rift from before, but a stable channel secured by ten Taichu Elders joining forces, plus the full power output of China's power grid.
Jiang Chen stood at the very front.
He had specially changed his outfit today.
Not a Taoist robe, nor a windbreaker.
But a tailored, stylish, and handsome black Zhongshan suit made overnight by Hongdu tailors.
But this suit was not simple.
The fabric was a blend of celestial silk from the Taichu Realm and Kevlar fiber from Earth, bulletproof, stab-proof, and fireproof.
The lining was covered with Vajra Protection Amulets drawn by Elder Qingxu.
The buttons were micro-cameras, and the belt buckle was an infrasound generator.
It could be said that this suit was a piece of single-soldier mecha disguised as a suit.
"Everyone."
Jiang Chen turned around and looked at the hundred-plus spirited scientists behind him, as well as the boundless supplies.
"Are you ready?"
"Always ready!"
The Academicians replied in unison, their voices loud, revealing a heroic spirit of wanting to conquer the stars and the sea.
"Good!"
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and looked at the huge light gate in front that was slowly rotating and emitting a faint blue light.
He touched his chest.
A ring he had prepared for a long time was kept there.
It wasn't diamond, but polished from the fragment of the metal disk with mysterious runes brought back from the moon.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand and stepped forward first.
"We are going to send warmth to the Taichu Realm!"
"Hum—!"
The light gate vibrated, swallowing this huge team from Earth.
...
At the same time.
On the other side of the plane, Taichu Holy Land.
Today, the Taichu Holy Land was decorated with lanterns and festoons, with red decorations stretching for miles.
Countless immortal cranes circled in the sky, scattering petals all over the sky.
Sect Master True Person Xuanweizi, wearing a brand-new purple-gold Bagua robe and holding a whisk, stood at the very front of the welcoming plaza.
Behind him were tens of thousands of disciples of the Taichu Holy Land, arranged in neat square formations, each stretching their necks, looking forward expectantly.
"Are they here? Are they here?"
While maintaining his demeanor as an expert, the Sect Master lowered his voice and asked the little Taoist boy next to him: "How much longer until my happy water... oh no, the husband's team arrives?"
"Replying to the Sect Master, spatial fluctuations have already been transmitted, they will be here soon!" The little Taoist boy also swallowed his saliva; he had also been craving those legendary spicy strips for a long time.
"Good! Everyone, be spirited!"
The Sect Master straightened his back.
"Let the fellow Taoists from the Blue Planet see the style of our Taichu Holy Land! Don't look like you've never seen the world!"
However.
In this festive and harmonious atmosphere.
On the top of Saintess Peak, in that usually cold and aloof boudoir, it was chaotic as a pot of porridge at this moment.
"No, no! This dress is too plain! It makes me look pale!"
"This one is no good either! It's too flashy! It makes me look unsolemn!"
"Ahhh! What should I do!"
Ji Linglong, the Saintess of Taichu who usually split the sky with one sword and shouted "Though far, they will be executed" domineeringly at the camera.
At this moment, she was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror in her undergarments, hair disheveled, looking at the bed full of clothes, so anxious that tears were about to fall.
She gripped a comb tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white.
In those beautiful phoenix eyes, there was no longer any murderous intent, only panic.
Yes, panic.
Typical—social anxiety syndrome before meeting an online lover.
"Granny!"
Ji Linglong turned around and hugged the mute granny who was helping her choose jewelry nearby, burying her face in the granny's arms, her voice muffled and with a crying tone.
"I... I don't dare to go."
"I was so fierce in the video, and even threatened the whole world. What if he thinks I'm not gentle when we meet?"
"And... and I just looked in the mirror and found a fine line at the corner of my eye! It must be from staying up late watching shows recently! I'm already eight hundred years old, and he's only in his twenties... Will he think I'm old?"
The mute granny lovingly touched her head, smiling and gesturing for a while.
[Silly girl, you are the Saintess, an immortal who does not age or die. That is not a fine line, that is a laugh line.]
[Go, he is waiting for you. Don't you talk about wanting to see him every day?]
"But... but my legs are weak."
Ji Linglong raised her head, that peerless face now as red as a large piece of red cloth.
"Granny, how about... you go and meet him for me? Just say... just say I'm in seclusion? Or that I've had a cultivation deviation? Let me wait until I've built up my psychological defenses before I see him?"
This is the legendary [keyboard warrior] attribute.
Heavy punches on the internet, shouting "husband" loudly.
Meeting offline, immediately shrinking into a ball.
Just then.
"Boom—!!!"
A loud noise came from the plaza at the foot of the mountain.
A pillar of light descending from the sky, its massive energy fluctuation directly dispersed the clouds in the sky.
"They're here!"
Ji Linglong stiffened, jumped onto the bed like a frightened rabbit, and even wrapped herself into a silkworm baby with a quilt.
"I'm not going! Even if you kill me, I won't go!"
"I'll just hide here! I won't go out no matter who calls!"
"It's over, it's over... my heart is beating so fast... am I going to have a heart attack?"
And at the foot of the mountain.
As the light dissipated.
The man wearing a black Zhongshan suit, carrying a thermos, with a brilliant smile on his face, brought the mountain-like shipping containers behind him and a group of fanatical old men, officially stepping onto this land of immortal cultivation.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath of the air here, which was intoxicatingly oxygen-rich, and his eyes immediately scanned through the crowd, but he did not find the Saintess of Taichu, Ji Linglong.
He hooked the corner of his mouth into a "I knew it" smile.
"Wife, playing hide and seek?"
"Fine, then I'll show you what hardcore romance for a science and engineering guy is."
