After dinner, they went to the circus, carousel, and water slide…
In the evening, they had a candlelit dinner and checked into a hotel.
Looking at the radiant Linna, Mingzhitian’s mind drifted back to her, clad in a black silk dress, so beautiful, so… beautiful.
Linna broke his silence, "The steak tonight is delicious, Mingzhitian, don't you think?"
To Chinese people, calling someone by their given name is a term of endearment, but for foreigners, using their full name is how family members are treated.
Mingzhitian nodded, "It’s indeed good, especially the gold leaf steak." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
The third day, the fourth day, and then the fifth day, they had explored almost the entire country of Swan.
Mingzhitian completed his mission and safely returned Linna to the royal manor. Broly was pleased and informed him of his desires.
In the church of Bishop Broly—
Broly glanced at Mingzhitian and said meaningfully, "Do you know the meaning of a saintess?"
Mingzhitian nodded, "I've heard of it. It means pure and immaculate, to remain unmarried for life."
Broly nodded with satisfaction at Mingzhitian's seemingly prophetic words, "The identity of Goddess Linna is like that of a saintess, inviolable. I hope, Mr. Ming, you understand this."
Mingzhitian replied with a hum, "I understand. I've never had any romantic thoughts about Linna, Bishop, please rest assured. And please, Bishop, don't beat around the bush, just say it directly."
Broly nodded, "Please sit. Regarding the temporal rift you mentioned, there is a legend, a legend of the country of Swan… no, of the world. Please forgive my memory of this ancient historical inheritance, it has been too long."
"Long ago, in the Roman era, three divine artifacts appeared: Uman, Kusu, and Biqi. A national teacher of an empire, known as the King of Rome, traveled to another world using these three artifacts, though this is merely a legend."
"Uman, Kusu, and Biqi, corresponding to three divine artifacts today, are the Glory of Light, the Spear of Changhong, and the Snow Blossom of Summer."
Mingzhitian asked, "You mean these three divine artifacts… have the ability to travel through time and space?"
Broly nodded, "Precisely. I swear by Jesus, I am not lying…"
Mingzhitian interrupted, "Alright, I believe you. Continue."
Broly frowned and said, "I only agreed to tell you the legend of the temporal rift, not to tell you their whereabouts."
Mingzhitian immediately became displeased, "It doesn't matter. Even if I have to turn the entire country of Swan upside down, I will find the three divine artifacts."
Broly, on the other hand, became reluctant. He knew Mingzhitian's strength well. To have him turn the country of Swan upside down? Wouldn't that be equivalent to causing utter chaos? The entire country of Swan would descend into anarchy, and as the guardian of the twisted joints, he would inevitably be severely reprimanded by the king.
Broly sighed, "Fine, it doesn't matter if I tell you, but…"
Mingzhitian said, "Just say it."
Broly stood up and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you the location of the three divine artifacts, but it would be useless even if I did. Because they are the lifeblood of each country. As kings, they would never give the lifeblood of their nation to others."
"It's like the dragon脉 (dragon pulse) inheritance of ancient Chinese emperors; it wouldn't be handed over to outsiders. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mingzhitian nodded, "In my China, there's a saying: the capable shall possess it. Continue."
At this moment, Mingzhitian's body erupted with power! Broly was startled and quickly unleashed his Martial God aura to defend.
Mingzhitian had broken through to the early stage of the Beidou Divine Ability!
Broly looked on in disbelief, "This… you've broken through? My God, this… is there a miracle beyond the peak of Martial God?"
Mingzhitian circulated his energy to absorb, repeatedly calmed his outwardly radiating aura, and then consolidated each aspect.
