Chapter 44: [Miss Gu Raids the House]

Little Zhao followed behind Miss Gu out of the Extreme Internet Cafe, came to a nearby alley, walked in about ten meters, and the girl stopped, turned around.

Little Zhao's face was full of confusion: "Um, you brought me to a place like this—is there something secret you want to say?"

Miss Gu's pretty face was expressionless, but she slowly glanced at the wall beside her and reached out a hand.

Crack!

Her slender, fair fingers stabbed straight into the red brick!

Little Zhao's eyes went wide!

Miss Gu's fingers dug in, and barehanded she pried a red brick out of the wall. Right in front of Little Zhao, she gently rubbed it between her hands.

The hard red brick crumbled in her hands with a soft rustling, the bits falling away like flour.

Miss Gu, while crushing a brick to powder, calmly stared at Little Zhao the whole time.

In a soft, sweet voice she said gently, "Don't be nervous (fourth tone). I'm not trying to scare you on purpose—I just want to ask you for a favor."

"…Sis, go ahead, what do you want?" Little Zhao suddenly raised both hands: "I don't have money on me. The most valuable thing I've got is these coconut shoes on my feet—bought them last month, today is only the second time I've worn them. If you like them, I'll take them off and give them to you?"

Miss Gu shook her head: "I don't want your money. I just want to know Chen Yan's address."

Chen Yan's address?

Little Zhao was stunned for a moment, then probed: "He…has some grudge with you?"

"Mm-hmm."

"……"

Little Zhao suddenly turned and ran, but after only a few steps felt the back of his neck tighten: "Ah, wocao…"

Miss Gu, with one hand, carried Little Zhao back into the alley.

"I only want Chen Yan's address."

"I won't betray my friend!"

Miss Gu frowned: "Aren't you afraid you'll suffer for it?"

Little Zhao gritted his teeth, his face righteous and stern: "My brother saved my life! I, Zhao Shanhe, am a man of honor—loyalty above all. I…"

Miss Gu stared at Little Zhao seriously, gave a thumbs-up, and sincerely praised: "Good man! Then you'll have to excuse me."

The next second, Little Zhao let out a scream and shot into the sky like a cannonball!

Miss Gu's figure flashed; she leaped into midair, grabbed Little Zhao's clothes again, and hurled him toward the ground.

Little Zhao screamed as he fell, but when he was less than a meter from the ground, Miss Gu caught up and grabbed him once more.

Little Zhao screamed again and again, his eyes rolling back repeatedly.

Though he was thin, he still weighed sixty or seventy kilograms. Miss Gu, gripping him one-handed and tossing him around, didn't seem to find it any harder than throwing a rag.

"Tough guy, can you talk now?" Miss Gu asked calmly.

"Y-y-y-you, are you human or ghost?" Little Zhao stammered, trembling.

Miss Gu shook her head, then grabbed Little Zhao and made as if to throw him again.

"Wait! Wait a minute!!" Little Zhao shrieked.

"Mm? Will you talk now?" Miss Gu set him down on the ground.

"I…I actually don't know where my brother lives. After he moved, I never went to his new place."

"Then what do you know?"

What do I know?

Little Zhao blinked: "He's twenty-two this year, just graduated half a year ago, no girlfriend, single, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink…"

"Tell me something important."

"Important, important…" Little Zhao's eyes rolled: "He, he, he likes girls with big breasts and long legs, and he's also a foot fetishist.

He especially likes reading manga—things like Secret Teaching and Brave New World, they're all stuff he introduced me to…"

Miss Gu listened, and her little face hidden in the dark flushed red.

Likes big breasts and long legs?

Hmph, that Chen family's boy really is no good!

What's a foot fetishist mean?

And what manga, what teaching, what new world? Even though I don't understand, it definitely doesn't sound like anything proper!

But Miss Gu's thoughts suddenly stirred—this person seems to know Chen Yan well—how about…taking the chance to ask a bit more?

"Anything else?"

"Also, also…" Little Zhao let out a breath: "He's one-eighty tall, blood type A, Leo. In PUBG he drops and dies instantly, in Golden Shovel he always picks the wrong team comp, in League he's a total feeder, and also, also…he also follows over a dozen borderline accounts on Douyin with a burner..."

Miss Gu kept a straight face: "Mm, keep going…mm?!"

She suddenly whipped her head to look at the distant sky—sword Qi?!

…How could there be a sword cultivator in this world?

A strange glint flickered in Miss Gu's eyes.

Just now, in that direction, a burst of sword Qi power flashed and vanished…

Curiosity stirred—Miss Gu instinctively wanted to go look, but she glanced at Little Zhao in front of her.

Forget it. From the fluctuation just now, at most it's just a sword cultivator who just broke through a realm.

Business first.

……

Chen Yan was still standing there dazed, not yet recovered.

That little kid…was gone, left.

Mm, the person left very peacefully.

The countdown ended, and the person instantly conjured a great sword from their hand—swish! —cutting a slit through the sky, then vanished in a flash of light…

And that was it!!

A fully cultivated Peak of Transcendence, max-level character, a Guardian Master!!

And that was it!!

Hmm, it's not that I got absolutely nothing.

At the final moment, as this elder from the Eastern Sea flew away, Chen Yan, thinking on his feet, raised his finger adorned with a ring and shouted: "Elder, please tell me how to use this ring!!"

The boy's figure had already soared into midair, yet a blade-like beam of light shot down, sweeping once over Chen Yan's body.

Then Chen Yan heard a voice in his ear, filled with shock.

"Such a divine artifact! This object does not belong to this realm—you must…"

Hmm, that's all. Nothing more.

The man flew into that heavenly gate; the second half of his sentence was never finished.

Chen Yan was so furious he felt chest pain!

You had only ten seconds left—why didn't you say anything sooner?!

If you'd told me earlier, I could've asked you several more questions!!

Like how to use the ring, or many cultivation questions…

I should've asked then!

And that last phrase—"you must…"—couldn't you have finished it before leaving? Would one second kill you?!

Were you really that desperate?!

You must…

You must what?!

You must throw it away, okay?!

You must smash it, okay?!

You must eat it, okay?!

Chen Yan felt his heart ache.

Also, what the hell kind of place is this? Full of mountains and forests—is this even still Jin Ling Prefecture?!

Boy, you flew off—but how the hell do I get home?!

Chen Yan helplessly pulled out his phone—it was powered off—no idea if it was dead or broken in the earthquake.

After cursing a few times, Chen Yan reluctantly accepted his fate, estimated a direction, and began walking slowly away.

In an alley, Gu Girl held Xiao Zhao's phone; Xiao Zhao obediently gave the unlock password.

Gu Girl hadn't been idle these past few days—at least she'd secretly observed the internet cafe owner and other customers, picking up basic phone operations.

She pulled out the phone, opened the WeChat interface, asked for Chen Yan's WeChat ID, and sent a message.

"I'm taking your phone for now. To prevent you from warning others, I've no choice but to use a little trick on you."

"Don't worry—I won't hurt you much. At most, you'll get a headache for a day or two."

After speaking, the girl Gu waved her hand lightly toward Xiao Zhao and blew a breath onto Xiao Zhao's face...

Two minutes later, Xiao Zhao staggered to his feet, looking around at the cold alley.

"Huh? How did I end up here?"

The next second, Xiao Zhao's face changed—was he beaten and robbed?!

He patted his pockets.

Where's my phone?

Losing the phone isn't a big deal—it's a secondhand phone, worth nothing.

My payment passwords won't be leaked.

Damn, WeChat is still logged in!

And…

My browser history!!

Chen Yan walked for a full half-hour before exiting the forest, finding a highway, then walked another full twenty minutes along it until he spotted a small town, where he found a folk inn.

He asked around—sure enough, he wasn't in Jin Ling Prefecture! He was over a hundred kilometers away!

Chen Yan said a few nice words, borrowed the owner's charger, plugged it in immediately, and got a bowl of instant noodles on credit.

After seven days of inhuman hardship, the first bite of steaming hot noodles filled him with aroma—but Chen Yan… wasn't happy at all.

He'd been eating instant noodles for seven days straight!

He reluctantly ate the bowl, then turned on his phone, which had gained a little charge, used his e-ID to check in, and paid for two days' room fee plus the instant noodles.

He took the owner's charger upstairs to his room.

His body felt filthy and uncomfortable, so he took a long, satisfying shower, then threw himself onto the bed, mentally exhausted and desperate to sleep for three days and nights.

Before sleeping, he glanced at his phone.

Huh?

Xiao Zhao sent a message.

【Zhao Shanhe: Chen Yan, where are you staying now? Tell me your address—I'll come visit when I'm free.】

What could Xiao Zhao possibly want with me?

Chen Yan didn't think much—he directly sent his villa address.

Then he silenced his phone, tossed it onto the bedside table, and fell into a deep sleep!

He had barely closed his eyes for ten minutes when Chen Yan suddenly snapped his eyes open!

He only managed to let out an "Ah!" before feeling his entire body's Yuan Qi begin to circulate wildly!

The Yuan Qi Transport Technique automatically activated, beginning to circulate over and over again!

That vast, surging Yuan Qi, no one knew where it came from, flooded Chen Yan's body crazily!

Chen Yan immediately felt pressure like Mount Tai crushing down upon him.

In his daze, he felt as though he were a single soybean thrown into a millstone, being crazily crushed and washed by endless Yuan Qi...

Chen Yan gritted his teeth with all his might!!

He felt that as the surging Yuan Qi flooded in, his Transport Technique circulated wildly.

His cultivation began to rise steadily!!

The cultivation feedback from the Yuan Qi (merit) used to help Lu Sisi transfer her fortune had finally, damn it, arrived!!

Heaven saw it couldn't kill him, so it finally paid up!!

Hahahaha!

Chen Yan trembled all over from the pain, yet felt exhilarated in his heart, unable to hold back his laughter.

In the room, the sounds of "Hahaha" and "Ah, damn it" echoed back and forth.

Finally, after an unknown duration, Chen Yan's vision went black, and he fainted.

What he did not know was that after he fainted, a point of Jin Guang lit up from his forehead; instantly, Jin Guang flowed through his entire body, and only after a full minute did it slowly dissipate.

The Girl Gu stood in the high-ceilinged living room of the villa, looking at the magnificent furnishings.

Although no one was in the room, the floor heating had been on all along; in the middle of the night, the temperature outside had already dropped below zero, yet the villa maintained twenty-five degrees, warm as spring.

"The Chen family sure lives in luxury," the Girl Gu thought, recalling how she had gone hungry and full by turns since arriving in this world, and couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

I endure wind and dew every day, while you have four dishes and a soup every single day?

She couldn't take it; just thinking about it made the Girl Gu want to shed tears.

She had walked up and down the floors and found not a single soul, but she did spot some materials for drawing talismans and the array setup method for setting up arrays.

Not at home... well, that's fine!

Finding where you live is enough.

I've found your home; don't think you won't come back!

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a deep voice coming from outside.

"You wicked, despicable bastard hiding inside the house, come out! Your grandpa turtle is here to teach you a lesson!!!"

Hearing this, the Girl Gu's face instantly grew cold!

Since she had achieved success in her cultivation, where had anyone ever cursed her like this?

The last fellow who had insulted her on the battlefield now had grass three feet high on his grave!

And it was even a cenotaph! Because she had scattered his remains on the spot!
