Zongman: Traveling through time and becoming Fu Hua's sister

"Hang the lantern a little to the left. No, it's too far. Go back a little."

The New Year is here, and Shi ordered Qing to hang lanterns in front of the house, but the placement of the lanterns was not in line with Shi's wishes.

"A little higher, no, too high, come down a little."

"Master, the position is almost there. I have made minor adjustments more than a dozen times."

"Okay, I won't bother you during the New Year. Just move it down a little bit and come down."

After moving the lantern, Xun came down from the ladder, picked up a cake beside him and put it into his mouth.

"Master, try this, it tastes good!"

As he said that, he stuffed the cake into Shi's mouth.

“It tastes good, but it would be better if there is a drink or something...”

"I remember there's some tea in the room. I'll go get it."

After saying that, Xun walked into the house and found the tea leaves. After a while, Xun came out with a box of tea leaves.

"Master, we don't seem to have hot water..."

"There should be one in the kitchen. I'll go check it out."

Shi had just walked to the kitchen door, but before he could open the door, he was stopped by Hua who had returned from outside.

"We are in trouble. We have received reports from various places that many 'monsters' have appeared near the city. There are no less than ten places across the country. Fortunately, none of the 'monsters' have entered the city. We will probably be busy for a whole day."

"It's not even the New Year yet, how come something like this happened?"

"We have no choice. We need to go and support the various places as soon as possible. Their strength is not enough to repel these 'monsters'. Zhao Yu and the others have all set off, so it's time for us to leave too."

"Then let's save some time and act separately!"

"Separate actions? Can you really do that?"

"I am quite capable anyway. I defeated the Ice Emperor in seconds. Are you still worried?"

"Well...then you should go to Lanning Mansion. There are many defenders there, and they are not very weak. It is not too dangerous."

"Okay, I'll be off then!" Shi took out the knife hidden in the sheath and said to Xun who was standing beside him, "You'd better go back to the system space first, otherwise it will be hard for me to explain why there are two of them at the same time."

"Well... okay." Xun put away the phantom sheathed knife and returned to the system space obediently.

"Then I'll go first!" After saying that, Shi set off with the knife hidden in the sheath.

"Well, I shouldn't have eaten that cake. Now I feel like vomiting." Shi covered his mouth, trying not to vomit.

Seeing Shi set off, Hua also left Taixu Mountain.

Lanning Mansion

"General, the monster has been on the sea for more than a day and may attack the city at any time. The people have already evacuated, so why don't we..."

"What nonsense! If we withdraw, the monsters will invade the inland. We can't withdraw no matter what! I have already written to the court and Taixu Mountain, and reinforcements will arrive soon!"

"We're already there." Shi stepped on the knife hidden in the sheath and fell from the air. As soon as he landed, he smoothed his chest with his hand. Fortunately, he didn't vomit.

"Who are you?" The general of the defending army saw the person who fell from the sky. Although he could not confirm the identity, he was sure that he was not an ordinary person. After all, how could an ordinary person fly with a sword?

"I am the sister of the Red Kite Immortal on Mount Taixu. I am here to support you!" Shi sheathed the knife and said to the people in front of him.

"So she's the Red Kite Immortal's sister. My apologies." Half a year ago, rumors spread that the Red Kite Immortal had a sister who looked very similar to the immortal, but she only appeared once.

"I am Yu Xun, the captain of Lan Ning. The monster has stayed in the sea for several days. I hope the immortal can help."

"Let me take a look at the situation first." Shi lay on the wall, looking at the Honkai beasts in the distance.

The leader was a crab-shaped emperor-level Honkai beast, and there were about a hundred Honkai beasts of all sizes.

"Leave the big ones to me. You should be able to handle the others, right?" Shi turned and said to Yu Xun.

"This...I'm afraid it's a bit difficult..."

"What's wrong? It's just a hundred 'monsters'. The garrison in the city should be able to handle it, right?"

"The total number of troops recorded as stationed is 6,000, but there are only about 1,200 on duty..."

"So few, the rest are just idlers?"

"This... is all what the prefect wants. He said... that now that the country is peaceful and prosperous, it doesn't matter if the number of troops stationed is small. We should report more people and use the money we get... to strengthen the dam and replace the equipment."

"Has the silver been used in these places?"

"Most of it went into the prefect's pocket..."

"Where's the prefect?"

"The prefect evacuated with the people yesterday..."

"...Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now. We have more than 1,200 people in total, and there are more than 100 'demon beasts' on the opposite side... On average, it takes 12 people to contain one monster. The smaller and weaker ones are easy to deal with, but there are several larger ones in the group. This is a bit difficult..."
