Skirk was full of confidence in Bai Xiuxiu. After all, Bai Xiuxiu was a 100,000-year soul beast that had taken on a human form. She had also refined the shark bead of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, a fierce beast. Her foundation was incredibly solid, and her talent was exceptional.
In addition, she was a very rare ice-attribute mutated soul beast. Now that she had taken on a human form and had an ice-attribute mutated spirit, she was perfect for learning Skirk's martial arts. After all, Skirk herself was skilled at using ice elements in combat.
"Yes, I will study hard, Teacher!" Bai Xiuxiu clenched her fists, her eyes filled with determination. As for why she called Skirk her teacher, it was because in the human stories her mother told her when she was little, that's how it went. In her mind, the person who taught her skills was her teacher.
"Let's put some clothes on first!"
Skirk didn't pay much attention to Bai Xiuxiu's title. Having a disciple was just a fun new thing for her. But looking at the completely naked little girl in front of her, the corner of her eye couldn't help but twitch.
"Ah!" Bai Xiuxiu only just realized that after taking on a human form, she had no clothes to cover her body. Although she was a soul beast, Bai Xiuxiu had developed intelligence early on and had always longed for human society. Naturally, she had the same sense of shame as humans.
Fortunately, there were no other beings around. Only Skirk could see her like this. Otherwise, she would have fainted again from embarrassment.
"We should leave. The sea is not suitable for your growth. Let's go to the Douluo Continent!" As Skirk spoke, she used her purple energy to create a temporary garment for Bai Xiuxiu. Then, she extended her left hand and waved it gently, and a purplish-black spatial vortex slowly opened in front of them, radiating spatial fluctuations.
"There you go!" With a swift motion, Skirk grabbed Bai Xiuxiu's shoulder while the girl was still looking bewildered and threw her directly into the spatial vortex.
"Ah!" After a panicked scream, Bai Xiuxiu's figure instantly disappeared into the spatial vortex.
Skirk clapped her hands in satisfaction, feeling that her movements were still skillful and the feel was still good. She then followed without hesitation, stepping into the spatial vortex.
As the mastermind behind the Holy Grail War, Lu Jingming was constantly keeping an eye on the situation. Just now, he received feedback from the Holy Grail that someone had already become a Master and had quickly summoned a Servant.
"That fast? Skirk, that's really good luck!" Lu Jingming looked at the virtual screen in front of him, which showed the relevant information. He couldn't help but look surprised. He had just asked Herta to successfully write the Holy Grail rules into the planet, and the Holy Grail War had only just been announced. He didn't expect the first Master chosen by the planet to appear so quickly!
"Bai Xiuxiu, the female protagonist of the fourth generation. That makes sense!" Lu Jingming looked at the little girl with sky-blue hair in the memory feed collected from the leyline. He nodded slightly, seemingly unsurprised by this result.
"I didn't know you had this kind of perverted hobby!" Herta crossed her arms, her face full of disdain as she glared at Lu Jingming. In the memory feed, Bai Xiuxiu was in the state she was in right after she took on a human form, without a single thread on her body.
"I can't be blamed for this! She's the one who's not wearing anything. Besides, she's just a little girl with no chest and no butt. She can't even compare to you. What's there to look at?" Lu Jingming put on an innocent face and spread his hands helplessly.
He truly felt wronged. He had no prior knowledge that the memory feed from the leyline would suddenly show such a scene. By the time the image appeared, it was too late for him to look away.
"What do you mean, I can't even compare? Is mine small?" Herta instantly caught the key information. Her eyes suddenly became sharp, and she glared at Lu Jingming fiercely.
Lu Jingming subconsciously glanced at Herta's chest, and the verdict was in: no padding, apple-sized.
"That look is very rude and makes me very unhappy. Can I hit you?" Herta clenched her fists in anger, and her purple-painted nails dug deep into her palms. It was clear from her expression that she was genuinely a little angry this time.
"Actually, being small has its advantages. The feel should be pretty good." Lu Jingming seemed completely oblivious to the approaching danger and continued to taunt her, even making a pinching gesture.
"Go to hell!" Herta's face instantly turned cold. She pointed a finger at Lu Jingming, and in an instant, the surrounding space was shattered like a giant mirror. Lu Jingming was caught off guard and was instantly thrown into a spatial rift.
Above Sea Abyss City, a dark rift flashed and then disappeared. Then, a figure like a meteor crashed down, plummeting directly into a tall building in the center of the city. Along with the loud sound of breaking glass and collapsing walls, a group of Golden Guards quickly rushed up to the building.
They were the guards responsible for protecting this building. This building, located in the center of Sea Abyss City, was no ordinary building. It was called the Moonsea Tower, and it had been transformed from the previous City Lord's Mansion. It was now the political core of Sea Abyss City. Everyone who worked in the Moonsea Tower was an important and influential person in Sea Abyss City with a very noble status, and some of them were even future mistresses of Sea Abyss City.
This was why the Golden Guards responsible for guarding it were so nervous. If anything went wrong, they would be in serious trouble.
"It's nothing. You guys can go outside and stand guard. Just have someone come up to repair it later!" Before the Golden Guards could rush up the building, Keqing's figure appeared in front of them and said calmly.
"Yes, Lady Keqing!" The Soul Saint-level Golden Guard leader at the front immediately bowed respectfully. This Lady Keqing was not only a key figure in charge of land management and construction in Sea Abyss City, but also one of the executives of the newly established Fatui. Even though this lady didn't seem to be very willing to hold this position.
Furthermore, according to the rumors circulating in Sea Abyss City, this Lady Keqing had an extremely close relationship with the City Lord and was very likely to be one of the future mistresses of Sea Abyss City. They absolutely could not afford to offend such a person. Immediately, the Soul Saint-level Golden Guard leader took his men and obediently retreated.
After sending the Golden Guards away, Keqing turned and went back to her office. The office was a mess. The window glass was shattered all over the floor, and the tables and chairs had been smashed to pieces by someone.
"What? Did you offend Herta? You must have some nerve to make her act like that!" Keqing leaned against the door, looking at the disheveled Lu Jingming, who was patting the dust off his body. This was why she had to send the Golden Guards away. If those guards, whom she respected so much, saw their City Lord in such a sorry state, their fantasies would probably be shattered instantly! To maintain Lu Jingming's dignity in everyone's eyes, Keqing naturally wouldn't let others see this scene.
"Something like that, but I wasn't lying! Being small has its advantages, and I like both!" Lu Jingming said helplessly. He genuinely believed that being small had its advantages. At least he could hold it in one hand, and he was okay with that!
Although Lu Jingming's words sounded a bit nonsensical at first, Keqing instantly understood what he meant. She subconsciously glanced at her own chest and then sneered, "I think Herta went easy on you!"
"Keqing, it's been a while. Sea Abyss City is changing every day. Thanks to you guys, I wouldn't have been able to achieve this much." Lu Jingming tidied himself up. He wasn't actually injured. How could Herta really hurt him? He stood in front of the broken window, looking out at the entire Sea Abyss City. Sea Abyss City had undergone a tremendous change in terms of both its size and its buildings. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
To be honest, if he had to manage Sea Abyss City alone, he would never have been able to achieve this much. After all, everyone has their own specializations. He wasn't skilled in management. Luckily, he had talented people like Keqing and Changli around him.
Sea Abyss City at this time was completely different from what it was during the Spirit Master Tournament. The city area had expanded several times, and tall buildings stood side by side in every corner of the city. All kinds of advanced vehicles traveled through the streets, and communication tools had become widespread. In particular, the kind of cell phones that could communicate over long distances had begun to circulate widely in Sea Abyss City. For Herta, who had countless black technologies, it was not difficult to establish an information network that covered the Douluo Continent.
Sea Abyss City now was even more advanced than the modern cities in Lu Jingming's memory in some ways. With the help of Herta's futuristic technology, Sea Abyss City was developing at an astonishing speed, and this development was gradually spreading to the entire Douluo Continent, with Sea Abyss City as the center. At the very least, several cities around Sea Abyss City had already begun to actively introduce the latest soul tool technology. Coupled with Xu Jiawei's secret push, some of the traditionally conservative nobles had to compromise and accept these new things due to the general trend.
"Never mind that. Tell me, I'm one of the Liyue Qixing. Why did you make me a Fatui executive? What are you trying to do?" Keqing didn't care about Lu Jingming's pleasantries or his sighs. She took a step forward, leaned one hand on the wall, and cornered Lu Jingming against it.
Lu Jingming smelled the faint scent of her perfume and looked at the purple-haired girl who was so close. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He hadn't noticed before, but Keqing's figure was quite well-endowed. She was probably at least a B+, much bigger than Herta!
