I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1260 - 1254: Showing Off and Getting Struck by Lightning

Chapter 1260: Chapter 1254: Showing Off and Getting Struck by Lightning
The spaceship swiftly navigated through the razor-sharp edges of the space-time storm, coming within inches of disaster several times. Yet, thanks to Zhang Menglong’s meticulous control, they narrowly avoided it each time.
Zhang Menglong got more into his groove, pulling off various high-difficulty maneuvers, and even casually picked his nose at one point.
The entire spaceship was broadcasting Zhang Menglong’s performance, and the passengers, who had just been in despair, now felt like they had a second lease on life. All this was thanks to this young man on-screen, and people quietly etched his youthful face into their hearts.
After a good twenty or so minutes, the spaceship finally made it past the turbulent zone. According to the instruments, the course was now stable, and they would safely arrive at the Empire of Thunder in less than a day.
Upon hearing this news, cheers erupted throughout the spaceship. Many martial artists wept with joy, having thought they had no hope left, yet now they were miraculously alive!
There was a banquet hall in the central area of the spaceship, usually quite deserted as most martial artists preferred peace and quiet. They would only gather in small groups to eat before returning to their cabins one by one.
But now, the hall was packed. Martial artists brought out their long-preserved wines and dishes to share, accompanied by rhythmic music, celebrating their deliverance from disaster.
"Friends, let’s welcome our great hero, Mr. Takumi Fujiwara!" Surrounded by a crowd of martial artists, Zhang Menglong was brought into the banquet hall like a star, and in an instant, thunderous applause and cheers from tens of thousands filled the hall.
"I don’t dare claim to be a great hero, just did my bit," Zhang Menglong humbly said.
[Admin played it low-key, gained 50 million Cred Points]
This notification excited Zhang Menglong even more. It felt like he just played a racing game and suddenly earned a massive load of Cred Points—isn’t that just bliss?
"Who just said that if anyone saved us, you’d marry him?" A teasing voice rose from the crowd.
A female martial artist was nudged forward by her companions. She looked to be in her twenties, tall and sweet-looking, and seemed a bit bashful as she glanced at Zhang Menglong.
Her realm was impressive too, at the God-breaking Second Realm. In the Stigma Continent, achieving such a realm at her age was considered genius. Zhang Menglong also noticed her attire and accessories were far more luxurious and noble than those of the City Lord’s son from Mo Bian City.
"Damn, did I just encounter a rich lady?" Zhang Menglong muttered.
"Takumi Fujiwara, this is our princess of the Xuexu Empire, not everyone has such an honor!" Another female martial artist of apparent status said beside him.
"Xuexu Empire? That’s a First-grade Empire!"
"Gosh, can you believe we’re on the same ship with someone like that?"
"This princess must be sneaking out for fun, right? Normally, wouldn’t there be a few Wheel Mystery realm bodyguards around?"
"Yeah, it’s a First-grade Empire. There might even be Saints within the empire, this guy’s really lucky."
"What luck, it’s his ability. If you had the skills to navigate us out of the turbulence, you’d get her favor too!"
"This..." Zhang Menglong couldn’t believe he actually encountered a rich lady, the princess of a First-grade Empire—how many years of struggle could that save an ordinary person!
The princess approached Zhang Menglong and took a hairpin from her head, handing it to him. "Mr. Takumi Fujiwara, I am grateful for your life-saving grace. If there’s ever a chance, visit us at the Xuexu Empire. This hairpin will serve as a token between us."
"Kid, this hairpin isn’t something given casually. This princess is likely into you. You better seize the chance, marry her if you can, and I can quickly help you restore my physical body," Xiao Bai was so eager, wishing he were Zhang Menglong. Opportunities like this are once in a millennium.
"Shut up!" Zhang Menglong ignored Xiao Bai. "Thank you for your kind offer, Princess. If I get a chance, I will certainly visit the Xuexu Dynasty."
"Then we shall meet again."
"Young man!" Another robust man emerged, drawing surprise from those around by his strength. He was a Wheel Mystery realm martial artist, even above the Fifth Realm!
"I, Zhenyu, have never owed anyone a favor. Surviving this time was because of you. I owe you a favor. If you ever need help, just let me know. If you need anyone dead, unless they’re a Saint, I’ll make sure his head rolls for you!"
"Wow, this guy is close to how strong I was at my peak!" Xiao Bai exclaimed, "Kid, you really hit the jackpot!"
"Young man, this is my token of appreciation. If you refuse, it means you look down on me!"
"Young man, I looked down on you earlier, that was my mistake. This is my apology and gratitude, you must accept it!"
...
Thousands of martial artists started lining up to give Zhang Menglong gifts. Those with wealth gave money, those with treasures offered treasures, and those with neither offered favors. Some female martial artists were even eager to throw themselves at Zhang Menglong, leaving him a bit overwhelmed.
The celebration banquet lasted until deep into the night, and Zhang Menglong was made to drink again and again. Even the princess of the Xuexu Country repeatedly toasted him.
As a friend to women, Zhang Menglong could tell that the princess was genuinely interested in him and even invited him directly to their empire. Unfortunately, Zhang Menglong already had a wife and kids, so he had to disappoint the princess’s goodwill.
Zhang Menglong drank a bit too much today. The top-level wines of the Stigma Continent really got to him. He even drank to the point of fainting. If any female martial artist barged into his room at that moment, he might be helplessly subjected to anything.
"I can’t anymore, I’m gonna puke!" Zhang Menglong rushed into his room and immediately headed for the bathroom. But just as he opened the bathroom door, an unbelievably strong force yanked him through, instantly sobering him up.
In a corner of the bathroom, a gap had appeared!
From that gap, Zhang Menglong could see a kaleidoscope of colors—it was the space-time tunnel outside!
"Damn!" Zhang Menglong suddenly realized he might have gotten a bit relaxed while piloting, and a space-time blade might have sliced a gap into the spaceship. Coincidentally, the gap was right in his room!
"Did you get distracted picking your nose while flying the ship?" Xiao Bai nagged.
But it was too late now. The speed of the spaceship was too fast, and the pressure difference was so strong that even Zhang Menglong couldn’t withstand it. He was sucked right out of the spaceship and fell into the space-time tunnel, crashing heavily against its walls.
In a flash, intense pain filled Zhang Menglong’s body.
"Damn, this showboating is gonna get me killed!" was Zhang Menglong’s last thought...
