I'm not a drama god

Chapter 1781 The King, and the Honor

"I really envy you, your son is so successful... Sigh, with my son's grades, I doubt he'd even get into university."

"Didn't your child also go to summer camp? Where was it again...?"

"As for Xuanyu, his is a sports summer camp, so he can only apply to a sports school in the future."

"Oh, you should be content. As long as the kids are healthy and happy... Hey, since the kids aren't home lately, how about we play some mahjong together sometime?"

"Sure, but I'll be a little late today. I need to go to the lecture to collect my eggs!"

"..."

"Hey Mr. Li, long time no see! How's business lately?"

"Don't even mention it, I've been so worried lately, the import and export department here at Ruoshui is acting like it's gone crazy..."

"How to say?"

"Both imports and exports are blocked for me... They keep saying there are no train services approved for freight. My warehouse has been full of goods for almost a week, and not a single item has been shipped out!"

"No freight trains? That's impossible... They can't possibly impound all those interdimensional trains, can they?"

"Who knows..."

"Didn't you take proper care of things?"

"I've already bribed them all. They used to accept my bribes, but now I don't know what's wrong with them. They're all turning their backs on me like they don't recognize me anymore. No matter how much I offer, they say they can't help... Damn it, if this keeps up, I'll go bankrupt!"

"..."

"..."

The night is getting darker.

Li Shangfeng, who was dozing off, bumped his head on the corner of the table with a dull thud, leaving a dent in the marble corner.

He listened to countless conversations throughout the day, his eardrums were practically calloused, and he felt like his brain was a complete mess, as if he hadn't absorbed anything at all.

Lin Xi saw the broken corner of the table, her lips twitched, and she hesitated to speak.

The number of customers in the coffee shop was decreasing, and the waiters were starting to pack up and prepare to leave. Lin Xi saw that it was almost time and was about to wake Li Shangfeng up...

But just as he reached his hand halfway through the air, Li Shangfeng suddenly raised his head!

"……wrong."

Li Shangfeng twitched his nose slightly, his expression extremely serious.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi stood there, stunned.

Before he could say anything more, a deafening roar erupted from the square not far away!

boom--! ! !

The earthquake trembled so violently that even the coffee cup on the table shifted slightly. Lin Xi's pupils contracted slightly, and she abruptly looked in that direction...

The gray-white sky had replaced the night sky at some point, creating a world that seemed to have lost its color, blending into the streets of Ruoshui Prison. In the shadows, monstrous figures darted swiftly through it!

"A calamity?!" Li Shangfeng exclaimed in shock.

How could a calamity occur in Ruoshui Prison?

"Oh no, is the gray realm converging?" Lin Xi's brain was racing. "But logically, human prisons should have the support of a domain, so the gray realm shouldn't be able to easily infiltrate... Recently, there have been frequent local gray realm convergences in Ruoshui Prison. Could it be that Ruoshui-jun has a problem?"

"Be careful!!"

Li Shangfeng grabbed Lin Xi by the collar, and the next second, his legs erupted in blinding flames as he shot out like a rocket...

The moment they rushed out of the coffee shop, a skeletal rhinoceros, as tall as a three-story building, like an unstoppable mountain, crushed the coffee shop into pieces.

Those waiters who hadn't even had a chance to leave work were instantly turned into pools of blood and gore, without even a chance to scream.

Rocket Man Li Shangfeng, with Lin Xi, slowly landed in the open space nearby. They both turned to look in the direction of the coffee shop, and when they saw the mess and gruesome blood and mud on the ground, their faces turned extremely ugly...

Meanwhile, the skeletal rhinoceros that had crushed the café rose again from the ruins, shaking its head and looking around as if searching for its next target.

“This Calamity is at least at the sixth rank!” Lin Xi said in a deep voice.

"Why did this calamity suddenly appear out of nowhere?" Li Shangfeng still couldn't understand. "How did the Gray Realm appear within the domain?"

"In any case, let's get out of here first... With the calamity invading, the people from Chengtian Prefecture should be arriving soon. Our most important thing now is to stay hidden and not meddle in other people's business." Lin Xi calmly analyzed the current situation.

Li Shangfeng nodded slightly, about to say something, when a piercing scream entered their ears.

The two turned their heads at the same time and saw a brightly lit school gate where many students who had just finished their evening self-study were staring in horror at the huge skeletal rhinoceros, their faces deathly pale.

These students looked to be about the same age as Lin Xi. At this moment, they were all terrified by the sixth-order calamity. Most of them stood frozen in place like statues, unable to move. A few of them were able to overcome their fear and turned around and ran wildly back to the school...

Perhaps attracted by the screams, the skeletal rhinoceros slowly turned its head and locked onto the school.

Its massive body arched slightly, and after a brief moment of gathering strength, it charged towards the school like a mountain on the run. Along the way, countless residential buildings crumbled and collapsed as if made of paper, and billowing dust filled the sky.

Faced with its speed, the students fled as slowly as ants. The seemingly safe school was as fragile as building blocks. Gusts of wind swept across the land, and the students' terrified screams echoed through the sky.

Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi felt a chill in their hearts.

For them, pretending not to see it and hiding to the side to protect themselves was undoubtedly the best decision... But the two who had just reached an agreement on this matter rushed toward the school at the same time without regard for anything else!

Li Shangfeng saw his sister's shadow in them, and Lin Xi saw her former companions in them. How could they sit idly by and watch the tragedy happen?

Missiles flew out from between Li Shangfeng's ribs, whistling as they flew towards the skeletal rhinoceros; Lin Xi raised his hand and drew countless chains, as if to forcibly imprison the rhinoceros in place...

However, the two were not strong enough at the moment. The exploding missiles did not cause fatal damage to the rhinoceros, and the chains only lasted for a moment before they shattered.

Amidst the billowing smoke, the rhinoceros burst forth, whipping up a hurricane-like storm. As it drew ever closer to the school, Li Shangfeng and Lin Xi's hearts sank to the bottom!

"Damn it!!" Li Shangfeng roared.

Just as they watched helplessly as the rhinoceros was about to trample the school, the skeletal rhinoceros's left forelimb suddenly vanished as if erased by something...

Losing the support of its left forelimb, the skeletal rhinoceros immediately lost its balance, and the next second, its forelimb also disappeared... Then its left hindlimb, and then its right hindlimb!

With a series of flashes of magic, the once unstoppable skeletal rhinoceros suddenly became like a heavy boulder, rolling several times on the ground, its speed visibly slowed down...

"What a hassle... Why do we have to go with the Twilight Society on every mission?" A figure wearing a bright red baseball cap pressed down the brim at the top of the school. "Business trips are already annoying enough, and now we have to save these noisy students."

Beside him, a woman wearing a blue beret calmly spoke:

“Watch your words, Chitong… It is our honor to serve the king.”
