Chapter 347: The Lion Opens Its Mouth Wide
Three bottles of Divine Blood Honey Dew.
He heard the few words Gu Han blurted out.
A flash of annoyance crossed Feng Yue Shan's eyes.
But in an instant, that annoyance vanished without a trace.
Even Bai Ce, who had been standing beside Gu Han, couldn't help but click his tongue,
"Partner, three bottles of Divine Blood Honey Dew—you really have the nerve to ask for that!"
"Divine Blood Honey Dew is a treasure that can increase the purity of the golden blood within a Savior Heir's body and even transform ordinary people into half-step Savior Heirs!"
Let alone the fact that Feng Yue Shan might not even have three bottles of Divine Blood Honey Dew on hand right now.
Even if she did, Feng Yue Shan would probably be unwilling to trade it for someone she's only met once, like Gu Han.
"One bottle!"
Feng Yue Shan extended a finger and said coldly,
"If you want more Divine Blood Honey Dew than this, then please keep your mouth shut."
"Alright, deal."
Gu Han grinned, spread his hand, and reached it toward Feng Yue Shan.
"Money talks—pay up."
Feng Yue Shan seemed not to notice the sly look in Gu Han's eyes, nodded, and produced the Divine Blood Honey Dew,
"Since the Black Tide has already attacked Sheng Cheng, the Hall of Learned Gods is likely to be affected as well."
After handing the Divine Blood Honey Dew to Gu Han, Feng Yue Shan continued,
"According to legend, that place was where the God of Reason last appeared."
"We must reach the Hall of Learned Gods before the Black Tide does and retrieve the fire seed of the God of Reason."
Gu Han's right hand, which had just taken the Divine Blood Honey Dew, froze there, and he muttered helplessly,
"Can I still back out now?"
"Right off the bat, we're going straight for a god?"
"This is literally playing with our lives!"
"Do you think there's a regret pill in this world?"
Feng Yue Shan smiled faintly,
"Since you've become one of us Savior Heirs, we'll naturally be open and honest with you, hiding nothing."
Gu Han sighed; although he said that, he wasn't actually too afraid.
"Even if that god is an existence above the Martial Emperor, even if Kunpeng can't match it, he still has a life‑saving trump card!"
"Alright, since we're retrieving the God of Reason's fire seed this time, shouldn't we launch a full‑scale assault?"
"Against such an enemy, as long as we aren't instantly killed, it's just a matter of who can run faster and survive."
As for his talent for fleeing, Gu Han still had some confidence.
Feng Yue Shan said calmly,
"Bai Ce has another mission; Teacher and Zi Ling will go with you to the Hall of Learned Gods, and besides that, ten Savior Heirs from beyond the heavens will accompany you as well."
Gu Han raised an eyebrow and probed,
"Can I swap missions with Bai Ce?"
"Bai Ce's mission is to retrieve the God of War's fire seed; if you want to go, you can naturally swap with him."
"Forget it—just pretend I never said that."
Gu Han hurriedly waved his hands.
"The God of Reason may sound impressive, but He's no soft persimmon."
"But the God of War?"
"That kind of ruthless fellow; whoever wants to go can go!"
"Even if he teamed up with Kunpeng, they'd just be delivering appetizers to the enemy!"
Gu Han sighed helplessly; it looked like he'd have to be the main force this time.
The other Savior Heirs from beyond the heavens? Obviously none of them are at Martial Emperor level or above.
Even ten Martial Kings, if placed in the outside world, could perhaps stir up a storm.
But against the gods of the Chong Yuan world, that probably wouldn't be enough.
"Forget it—just think of them as a few sandbags."
"When danger strikes, those Martial Kings could at least hold out for a while, right?"
Feng Yue Shan still had matters to attend to, and she soon turned and left.
Bai Ce laughed and patted Gu Han on the shoulder,
"With you as my partner, I can finally relax."
Gu Han rolled his eyes in annoyance,
"By the way, can't the Savior Heirs act together?"
"Do we really have to split forces—one side to cause trouble for the God of War, the other to retrieve the God of Reason's fire seed?"
Bai Ce shrugged helplessly,
"This is all Teacher Feng's arrangement; I can't make sense of her thinking."
Gu Han thought to himself, it seemed Feng Yue Shan was one of the demigods among the Savior Heirs.
Under Bai Ce's guidance, Gu Han went to the Savior Heirs' exclusive restaurant and ate his fill.
Needless to say, as beings admired by all, the Savior Heirs' food is indeed quite good.
At least by Gu Han's standards, he could find nothing wrong with the food, and he even felt that it had slightly filled his Qi Blood.
It's a shame that Fellow isn't here; otherwise, partner, you could really feast.
Hearing Bai Ce mention that fellow again and again, Gu Han couldn't help but ask curiously,
"Bai Ce, who exactly is that fellow you keep talking about?"
"Oh, that fellow is just like you, also a Savior Heir from beyond the world."
Bai Ce chuckled,
"That fellow is the first outsider recognized by Teacher Feng, and the only one before you."
Gu Han originally thought he was the first, but he never expected that someone else had also gained the approval of that nitpicky woman, Feng Yue Shan.
On another note, after Gu Han and Bai Ce left, Zi Ling asked Feng Yue Shan in puzzlement,
"Teacher Feng, is it really worth spending such a great cost to ask that outsider for help?"
Not only Feng Yue Shan, but Zi Ling, as a Savior Heir who has had considerable dealings with outsiders, also feels no particular fondness for those outsiders.
"Zi Ling, I can sense that Gu Han is different from the others."
Feng Yue Shan gazed earnestly into Zi Ling's eyes,
"I can't put my finger on exactly what that difference is; it seems like an aura, but it's not clear."
"Gu Han is very likely to play an extremely crucial role in our God‑slaying journey."
Seeing Feng Yue Shan say that, Zi Ling could only nod.
Although Feng Yue Shan is a romantic demigod, he is also one of the leaders of the Savior Heirs.
The God‑slaying journey has always been led by Feng Yue Shan, and so far there has never been a mistake!
She believes in Feng Yue Shan's ability, and this time will be no exception.
Soon, Gu Han met his companion for this occasion at the City Gate.
Ten Savior Heirs from various directions, or rather, Martial Kings.
One of them had a rather obscure aura, which even Gu Han couldn't fathom for the moment; perhaps among the Martial Kings, he could also be considered an outstanding one.
And these ten people all came having accepted Feng Yue Shan's mission.
When they arrived at the City Gate, they discovered that the main force of this expedition was actually someone whose aura was far inferior to theirs, and they all grew resentful.
"How did Feng Yue Shan manage this, letting a greenhorn kid lead us?"
However, intimidated by the pressure of the golden thread, they did not speak out, merely swallowing these words.
The cultivation methods of the Chong Yuan Savior Heirs and the outsiders are completely different.
Since they are both outsiders, telling each other's identities apart poses no difficulty.
If Gu Han were a local Chong Yuan Savior Heir, they could still understand it as Feng Yue Shan not trusting these outsiders.
That is why they made such an arrangement.
But precisely because Gu Han is also an outsider, they feel resentful!
