CHAPTER 1682: CHAPTER 549: IRIS CHARGE FORMATION (PART 1)

After returning to Philencore, Liu Shock took the dead-drunk Cui Beixi to the "Thousand Snow Fortress".

The beauty snake mentor, completely intoxicated, kept mumbling Mourinho’s name. Her deep infatuation left Liu Shock with indescribable feelings—not jealousy nor envy, just a strange sensation.

The "Thousand Snow Fortress" is the former home of the Mammoths, now transformed into Philencore’s natural ice storage. The largest snow cave is stacked high with wild horses, deer, elk, and fresh fish, all frozen rock-hard.

The reason for bringing Mentor Cui Beixi here is that the hot springs near the "Thousand Snow Fortress" have a great sobering effect on hangovers.

It’s undeniable that the Beamon champions, the Mammoth Orcs, hold an exceptionally mighty status on Mount Tamerlarya. The snowy mountains stretch thousands of miles with hundreds of indigenous varieties, yet Mammoth clan elder Old Boji proudly claims that within a radius of two hundred miles, there isn’t a single native with the audacity to approach the Mammoth territory.

The Mammoth clan occupies the best icy slopes at about four thousand yards elevation, dotted with hot springs of various temperatures and unfrozen ice springs, even pure natural boiling springs. The boiling springs are treasures of the snowy mountains; with them, anyone can cook food without lighting a fire at any time and any place.

Elsewhere on Mount Tamerlarya doesn’t share such luxury. At an altitude of six thousand five hundred yards on icy slopes, there’s a natural large boiling lake, called the "Heavenly Pool" by the Mammoths, serving as a communal canteen for many indigenous who boil communal hot pots.

Liu Shock realized something: if he rescued Xiaokong’s little sweetheart in the future, using her "Submerged Wave Pearl" to absorb and release water from the boiling springs of the Heavenly Pool, he wondered what it would be like to pour it on the heads of the Demon Clan?

With this thought, Liu Shock felt his previous thinking had gone astray and seemed too narrow-minded!

Why did he always think of the "Submerged Wave Pearl" flooding the Golden Mountain?

How many Birdmen could drown from causing floods on the Great Wilderness?

Why not think of scalding these invaders to death like boiling chicken feathers?

Or maybe... freeze them to death?

Whether it’s the instant freeze cold pools of the Flower Elf’s homeland or snowy mountain ice springs, both are instant-freezing cold springs, available in abundance!

The boiling spring of the Heavenly Pool used by the mountain natives for hot pots is also abundantly available!

According to other Sequencer Pearls’ characteristics, the "Submerged Wave Pearl" should also be able to stabilize the water source temperature!

The small discomfort from Cui Beixi’s drunken mumble about Mourinho was quickly overshadowed by this "great discovery".

Accompanying Helen and Moer in the hot springs for a while, old Liu, still with thoughts in mind, hurried back to Philencore.

The blood-red sunset cast a stunning red hue over the throngs in Red Earth Square—a breathtaking beauty.

Elise and Avril stayed in Philencore all afternoon, and by the time Liu Shock resolved all the issues, the Aegean Flower and Mermaid Princess had already transformed three thousand national flowers in Red Earth Square, with Haihuasi conferring titles upon a hundred flower officials.

Liu Shock glanced into the Overlord Hall where the Giant Buddha and the enigmatic prince were still engaging in endless prattle; it looked like they might keep chatting for a whole day and night without satisfaction.

Ji Sikaibi and Joan of Arc returned from underground preaching. Embracing old Liu from both sides with sweet smiles, Liu Shock, this rascal, forgot all about Ji Sikaibi’s rumors and with the two little wives in his arms, felt like his bones were about to melt.

"Been a while since I’ve been home; did you dream of me?" The old rogue asked with a playful grin.

"I do!" Ji Sikaibi replied crisply and loudly.

Saint Joan of Arc wore a beautiful gold cape, looking serene and fashionable. She didn’t have the courage to loudly proclaim her thoughts like Sikaibi, just stared blankly at Old Liu with her beautiful eyes, lost in her own world.

Yelling and calling the guards to bring over several chairs, Liu Shock sat himself down in the main seat with unmatched poise. Behind him, Sylph, Wei Zhi, and the beautiful peacocks clustered around, making the scene look like a beauty pageant.

Sylph expertly massaged Liu Shock’s shoulders. To clarify, Liu Shock never intentionally ordered anyone to do this, but any woman standing behind him would naturally do so, as natural as eating when hungry or drinking when thirsty.

Surrounded by beautiful women, Liu Shock’s gaze turned regal as he scanned his surroundings. He saw Daisy and Ruona standing afar under the slat banana tree, chatting warmly with Shi Lang Ventéclair. Daisy’s gaze was complicated, Ruona’s eyes were full of maternal glow overflowing, and Ventéclair was a picture of excitement and happiness. The little parrot, with Guoguo and Axianu on its back, surreptitiously peeked from the treetop.

This harmonious mother-child scene almost took Old Liu’s breath away.

"What are you looking at?" Ning Yu and Qian Qian, carrying dozens of pretty elf maids each holding a delicate flower pot, passed by Old Liu and asked curiously, "Shouldn’t you go say hello to your good son first?"

"Do you think that kid really is my son from another time coming to reunite with me?" Liu Shock lowered his voice and looked at his innately gentle and intelligent oldest wife.

"You think you’re the only smart one? Doesn’t Nana have any clue?" Ning Yu smirked, "Stop rambling and help me out. That Diao Chan girl you brought back carries many special plant seeds, things like Mirror Flower, Fragrant Snow Sea, and Torch Oxalis. It’s said these flowers can replace torches for lighting. I’m planning to use Life Spring to grow some and see! Oh, and there’s the Green Pouch Flower from Master Titian."

"Green Pouch? Poetic Flowers? How does Master Titian have such rare flowers?" Liu Shock whistled, "Wow! There’s even Mirror Flower seeds! Seems like future remote communications will be a breeze!"

"The Green Pouch Flower was given to Master Titian by a human prince. It’s a bald flower, and reportedly when it blooms, no poem appears, which disappointed the prince greatly, so he simply gave it to Master Titian. And Master Titian, coming to copy the blueprints of angels and goddesses, had to bring something, so he brought this Green Pouch Flower as a gift." Ning Yu laughed, "You know the temperament of artists, they don’t like to owe favors."

"You go ahead first, I need to talk with Elise about some business." Liu Shock felt a twinge of joy, thinking to himself that as a Flower King, having a lack of prestigious flowers to show off wouldn’t be befitting, but Flower Affinity Haihuasi made up for this tremendous deficit!

The scene of bestowing flower officials was exceptionally grand. A large group of young girls held a variety of colorful and splendid flowers. Named one by one by the great beauty Diao Chan Haihuasi amidst the dancing flowers, the beautiful condensing fairy-like Haihuasi seemed like a goddess descending into the mortal world, enlightening lost souls.

The great beauty Diao Chan Haihuasi currently has eighty-eight remaining positions for bestowing flower officials. She had already designated twelve famous Demon World flowers as the flowers corresponding to the twelve grades of floral ranks. Eleven peacock beauties had already been successfully listed as flower officials. The only exception was the "Perfume Hyacinth," a magical flower, too rare to find, making it futile to appoint a flower official for it, wasting a great opportunity!

Elise selected eighty-eight young, beautiful girls from the Yufrey Butterfly Beamon specifically for training as flower officials, which greatly surprised Liu Shock when he counted the numbers.

There are three branches of the Felinloving Tribe — the Buddha Giants, Butterfly Beamon, and Sif Elves. Among these, the Buddha Giants would absolutely not go to war, so naturally, they were early on excluded from the ranks of flower officials. However, the Flower Elves and Butterfly People both are flower-loving tribes, leaving no reason why Elise would lean outward and not choose a single Sif, giving all the flower official positions to the Yufrey Butterfly People?

"Boss Ai, did you take the wrong medicine?" Liu Shock called Elise over and couldn’t help but touch the flawless forehead of the Aegean Flower: "Did the Emperor Polo rise from the east today? Are you showing modesty voluntarily? Am I seeing this right?"

"Go to hell! You think my awareness is like yours? Judging others by yourself, Richard?" Elise glanced at Old Liu, half annoyed, half amused: "We Sif have our own unique command techniques. If they were also to become flower officials, it would inevitably lead to a waste of resources, you understand?"

"Girl, you’ve finally grown up." Liu Shock’s eyes filled with approval: "I’ve really not wasted equipping you Sif with Thunder Diamonds and Osteo Wands. Your performance hasn’t let my efforts go to waste!"

"I am, after all, the Divine Princess of Felinloving. Everything here is all my assets, so I must consider the big picture, right?" Elise wasn’t taking any of it: "Magic should start from the children. Haven’t you noticed? I chose all young Butterfly People? Could your intelligence foresee so far?"

"Richard, don’t listen to Elise’s boasts. All these Butterfly Fire Ladies are arranged by me." Avril came over, nonchalantly sat on Liu Shock’s lap, glancing fiercely at the Aegean Flower.

"Mages who can occupy higher ground will have a good range advantage in battle. Whether it’s the Butterfly People or Sif becoming flower officials, I have no objection," Beckham nudged closer to Liu Shock, timidly glancing at his boss lady Avril: "Boss, you won’t open a separate mage troop for the eighty-eight flower officials plus eleven peacock beauties, right?"
