Chapter 565: I Have Returned

~7 min read 1,245 words

Cheng Shuili glanced again at those few exploding light groups, feeling extremely relieved in her heart.

This time, the Bug Physique was really crucial!

The Leader Light Group also heard the news and rushed over, seeing those two living humans, the entire system went dumb.

【What… what is going on?!】Its electronic voice cracked, 【We clearly set it up according to the skeleton template! Why did it turn into humans?!】

The nearby light groups huddled together, nobody daring to speak.

Cheng Shuili calmly said: "Maybe the system had a small problem."

The Leader Light Group abruptly turned its head toward her, its light flashing violently.

【A small problem?! This is called a small problem?! This is… this is…】

It didn't finish, but Cheng Shuili understood.

This is grey market, this is business done behind Northern Star Boss's back. Now something went wrong, if it were discovered……

The Bronze Furnace suddenly spoke: "What's there to panic about."

Her voice wasn't loud, but the Leader Light Group instantly fell silent.

The Bronze Furnace looked at it, gaze calm: "The vessel is already complete, the soul has returned to its place. What do you want to do? Tear them apart and remake them?"

The Leader Light Group's light shuddered violently.

Tear them apart and remake? That would cost how much money?

Moreover, the souls of these two humans have already entered; pulling them out again, who knows if it would cause problems?

It fell silent for a few seconds, then, like letting out air, its light dimmed.

【…Just leave it as is.】Its voice weak and feeble, 【Anyway… anyway it can't be changed anymore, and you should be satisfied, right?】

Cheng Shuili's lips curled slightly, not denying: "Then thank you."

The Leader Light Group glanced at her, wanted to say something, then swallowed it back.

It had figured it out, this human, is uncanny.

Extremely uncanny!

From now on, when she comes again, she must muster twelve times the spirit.

Cheng Shuili turned around, looking at Su Rui and Guang Hui.

"Let's go."

Su Rui regained her usual expression, silently following. Guang Hui followed behind, a smile on his face.

The Bronze Furnace also caught up, carrying her bedroll.

A group of four walked toward the Light Gate.

Behind them, several light groups stared at each other.

"This matter… should we report it?"

"Report what? Say we made skeletons turn into humans?"

"This is grey market!"

The Light Gate unfolded before Cheng Shuili.

She stepped forward, suddenly hearing from behind the Leader Light Group's voice: 【Wait! How did the Bronze Furnace leave?!】

The Light Gate slowly closed behind them, turning into an ordinary wall.

Cheng Shuili stood in place, looking at the three people before her.

Su Rui, lively and jumping. Guang Hui, also alive. The Bronze Furnace, holding that bronze bell, stood beside her.

She took a deep breath: "Let's go, home."

Su Rui nodded vigorously, eyes bright.

Guang Hui also nodded, eye sockets still red, but the corners of his mouth smiled.

The Bronze Furnace didn't speak, merely took out that bronze bell again to glance at it, then carefully tucked it back into its pocket.

The four walked out of the Jia You Zhan.

Outside, the car was still parked there.

Su Rui, upon seeing the car, immediately ran over, opened the door and jumped in.

"Boss! It's still the original car! Still the original smell!"

Cheng Shuili's lips twitched slightly.

Guang Hui laughed, shaking his head, only after getting in the car did he realize: "Boss, then my mount…"

"Gone."

Cheng Shuili said it very calmly, because it wasn't a big deal.

Before there were safe zones and factions, losing a mount was a huge deal; players basically only had the path of death.

But now…

"The safe zone can support you."

Cheng Shuili's voice was very flat, as if chatting about what to eat next meal.

Su Rui was moved to tears, leaning her head against Cheng Shuili and rubbing for a while; Cheng Shuili pushed her away with a look of disgust, but the smile at the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

After granting permission to the three in the car, the four finally returned once more to the Black Feather Safe Zone.

Passing Black Feather members, seeing people suddenly appear here, couldn't help but glance sideways; seeing the boss, their expressions were still fairly calm, but just as they were about to greet, they saw Su Rui standing nearby, and the resurrected Guang Hui.

Black Feather members: "!!!"

What the hell?! Feigning death!!

Cheng Shuili looked at that group of members who had instantly stiffened, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Alive." she said.

The members were still stunned, Guanghui took a step forward, smiling and waving his hand: "Hello everyone, I'm back."

A bold member cautiously approached and poked Guanghui's arm.

Warm, soft, and truly alive.

"Holy shit!!!" that member screamed, "Guanghui big brother is really alive!!!"

That shout startled everyone in the safe zone.

A crowd swarmed over, chattering with questions.

"Guanghui big brother, how did you come back?!"

"Weren't you dead?!"

"Did Lao Da save you back?!"

"Holy shit holy shit holy shit, is this really true?!"

Guanghui was surrounded in the middle, his smile growing wider, yet his eye sockets turned red.

"It was Lao Da." he said, "Lao Da saved me back."

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look at Cheng Shuili.

Cheng Shuili had a blank expression: "What are you looking at? Get back to what you should be doing."

No one moved.

Everyone still stared at her, eyes glowing.

Cheng Shuili fell silent for two seconds, then decided to give up: "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Extra meal tonight."

Cheers erupted instantly, the shadow hanging over Black Feather's head also finally vanished.

The crowd dispersed, but as each person left they kept turning back, looking at Guanghui, looking at Su Rui, looking at Cheng Shuili, still muttering under their breath.

"Lao Da is just too awesome……"

"Even the dead can be brought back……"

"I've sold my life to Black Feather!"

Cheng Shuili listened to those words, saying nothing.

She turned around, seeing Tonglu still standing in place, her gaze falling into the distance.

Following her gaze, Huo Po was standing at the field's edge, still holding a hoe, the whole person seeming frozen.

Two pairs of similar eyes, separated by tens of meters, locked onto each other.

Tonglu took a step, then another.

She walked toward that hunched figure, steps slow and light; when she was still a few steps away, she stopped.

"Sister."

Her voice was so soft, almost inaudible, but Huo Po's body tensed up suddenly.

The hoe slipped from her hand, fell to the ground, making a dull thud.

Huo Po's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a word for a long while.

Tonglu stood there, tears trembling in her eye sockets: "I'm back."

Huo Po's eye sockets slowly reddened.

She opened her mouth, finally speaking, her voice hoarse beyond belief.

"You dead girl… you still know how to come back…"

"Dead girl."

Cheng Shuili tasted that nickname, then suddenly curled her lips.

Tonglu is also getting on in years.

Besides Huo Po, who else could call her "dead girl"?

"Come on, let them have some time alone."

No need to say more; everyone present could see that the two old beastmen here were about to break down in tears, so it was clear they couldn't stay here any longer.
