Chapter 666: Disordered Time (Extra Chapter 710)

After being excited for a long while, Dong Yushu also calmed down.

"It is not yet time to be smug. Calm down, you must calm down!"

Although the situation is excellent right now, it is far from the moment to let her guard down.

Dong Yushu!

Calm down, you must calm down!

You must absolutely not be careless; if you were to fall into the hands of the three rat demons, then everything would end in vain.

Regarding the thoughts of the Daoist Temple owner, there were some guesses in the bottom of Dong Yushu's heart—He thinks highly of her future, but will not intervene.

In Dong Yushu's view, the Daoist Temple owner providing help is a kind of investment in someone He thinks highly of, and not meeting her is because He does not wish to be tainted by more Causality.

A favor is a favor, and a connection is a connection.

The Daoist Temple owner will 99% not help her deal with the rat demons' ambush; even if she is no match for them, He will silently watch her death.

If she dies at their hands, then there is no point in speaking of subsequent returns, and the other party would have misjudged the person, but He would not care too much either.

And only if she can survive will there be a future to speak of, and a chance to repay the Daoist Temple owner's life-saving grace.

It must be said that Dong Yushu's guess actually has some logic to it, although the process is basically all wrong, the result is generally correct.

Ren Yidao indeed will not provide more help, and even if she really died, there would be no ripples in his heart.

However, the specific reason is that Ren Yidao is certain she will not die here.

Dong Yushu has a blessing of fortune on her; although she cannot yet be called a so-called Child of Destiny, she is favored by Heaven and Earth, and her life is not destined to end here.

No matter which timeline it is, she will not die at the hands of the three rat demons.

Even if she had not run into Ren Yidao, she would have encountered other chances for survival, never failing to find a way out of a desperate situation, and perhaps even obtaining a great improvement.

And encountering Ren Yidao, for Dong Yushu, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Although there has been significant progress in strength, her future destiny has also been locked, precluding other possibilities.

Some say that the gifts of fate have long been marked with a price in the dark.

So, has Dong Yushu paid the price?

She has.

It is just not now, not in the past, but in the future.

Because for that existence who gave her the gift, the dimension of time can no longer trap him.

Dong Yushu does not know Ren Yidao's identity, but she has some guesses in her heart.

This should be another awakened ancient Immortal God; she can be considered to have become His spokesperson, branded with His mark...

If she could, Dong Yushu would not want to become a chess piece of an Immortal God. As one of the few heaven-gifted geniuses of the Southern Border, she would rather rely on her own talent to reach the peak, or even become an Immortal God, but things have reached this point, and she has no room for choice.

Dong Yushu knelt on one knee facing the main hall, lowered her head, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your grace, my Lord!"

Without realizing it, her form of address had quietly changed, and she had lowered her posture even further.

Dong Yushu is not stupid; this time, having almost died due to carelessness, gave her a profound lesson—put away her own meaningless arrogance.

Because of arrogance, she chose to ignore the strangeness she clearly perceived in the three rat demon brothers, thinking she could turn the tide.

Because of arrogance, she ignored her friend's warning, and only then did she end up in such a state.

It can be said that arrogance almost killed her.

At least, before she truly possesses the strength to settle all variables, she had better honestly keep her head lowered.

Still, no one responded. Dong Yushu was somewhat accustomed to this process, so after bowing, she stood up and returned to the front of the great cauldron.

She did not try to walk into the main hall, but seized the remaining precious time to continue recovering her strength.

If her guess was correct, those three brothers would be coming to her door before long.

Thus, Dong Yushu adjusted her breathing and waited in the Daoist Temple, adjusting her state to prepare for revenge.

Half an hour, the Daoist Temple was peaceful.

One hour, no one came looking.

Two hours...

Dong Yushu waited for a full twelve hours, and did not wait for those three rat demons!

"This..."

Starting from the thirteenth hour, Dong Yushu opened her eyes in a daze and blinked rapidly.

Is this right?

Did the three of them get lost?

Or is it that they went astray?

This...

After pondering for a while, Dong Yushu shook her head, suppressed the doubt in her heart, and chose to continue waiting.

"No matter what happened, since they didn't come looking, I will seize this time to digest the gains from the ancient tomb and see if I can break through."

Then...

"This isn't right, is it!!?"

Dong Yushu let out a bewildered cry, feeling the surge of Qi within her body in confusion.

She had broken through to Transformation Spirit Peak; there was nothing wrong with that.

There is great fortune between life and death, and with Dong Yushu's own foundation being sufficient, breaking through to this step was only a matter of time.

It is just, this time spent, isn't it a bit wrong?

If Dong Yushu hadn't gone crazy...

She had already been waiting in this Daoist Temple for half a month!!!

What about those three rat demons?

Where are you all!!?

"Could it be that they really gave up? Or is it that... they didn't find me?"

Pondering blankly for a long while, Dong Yushu was certain she had stayed inside the Daoist Temple for half a month; this point was beyond doubt, as she was not yet so confused that she couldn't distinguish this.

Then, what about the enemies hunting me down?

"Could it be that outsiders cannot see this place... what?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Dong Yushu, and she looked up toward the sky above the Daoist Temple, her eyes widening and her pupils suddenly contracting.

The night rain continued, raindrops silently pattering against the curtain, signaling their existence.

This rain... has it been lasting for a bit too long?

Dong Yushu suddenly discovered one thing she had overlooked.

Ever since entering this Daoist Temple, she had been cut off from the outside world.

The flow of time here might be vastly different from her perception.

Had she really spent half a month here?

Even Dong Yushu was now somewhat uncertain.

Furthermore, the owner of the Daoist Temple... was perhaps a terrifying existence even more exaggerated than she had originally guessed.

Having boarded this pirate ship, could she really escape unscathed?

And just as Dong Yushu was contemplating her future, a few rough shouts suddenly came from outside the Daoist Temple:

"Big Brother! That woman disappeared right here, tsk! Where on earth did she run off to?"

"Two brothers! Do we still need to keep chasing? That member of the Human Race has quite a few magical treasures on her; I'm afraid her status is not simple. If we really push her into a corner, I fear..."

Slap!

A sound like an explosion interrupted the latter's words, and a third voice roared: "You idiot!!!"

"It is precisely because her status is not simple that we must continue the chase. What would it mean to let her go now? If we let her truly get away, then the only thing awaiting us three brothers is death!"

"... Big Brother is right."

Listening to the conversation outside the door, Dong Yushu narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Heh, they really did track me down; they truly are relentless... Very well, since you have come to my doorstep, I won't have to waste effort looking for you."

Times were different now; at this moment, Dong Yushu had not only nurtured her Life-bound Weapon, but her strength and realm had also seen a significant improvement.

Fighting three against one, she might not be guaranteed a win, but as long as she took one out first, she could absolutely retreat unscathed.

But just as she prepared to push the door open and leave, another cold voice came from outside.

"Hey, you three fellows, what are you doing here with your shifty eyes?"

Dong Yushu:?

Who?
