Chapter 39: Arrival at Gluttony Town

Yellow sand billowed across the wide road as the vehicle sped past. Gu Xi, wrapped in a headscarf, sat quietly in the passenger seat. Having finished her short nap, she prepared to examine the rewards from the lucky draw. By a stroke of luck, she had recently slain a gluttonous monster in a town, nearly reaching the level cap. The system's rewards were beckoning to her. Suddenly, she let out a loud sneeze. Everyone in the car heard it. "Who is cursing me..." The skull icon began to spin wildly as if possessed, its empty eye sockets emitting a ghostly green light that was truly terrifying. As the voice faded, the commoners fled in panic, rushing toward the city, as if it were their only path to survival, their only hope. Zi Wuji felt frustrated. Capture him? Yes, capture Ji Yu! But for now, that was all he could say. That terrifying power swirled around him, seemingly watching his every move; he felt a sense of dread that kept him from daring to stir. "You... so you really are part of the organization..." Hearing details that only key figures would know, Zheng Hanfei finally lost his composure. His body trembled slightly, and the words were squeezed through his teeth, revealing the depth of the pain those revelations had caused him.

"Brother, where have you been all day? Your wife has been waiting here for you for ages," Changan asked as Gele Changping returned. Because of this, the King of Magadha naturally developed a desire to establish diplomatic relations with the Great Tang. From the time Xuanzang entered India, the two nations traded frequently, and the King of Magadha even presented treasures such as the Fire Pearl and the Bodhi Tree to Emperor Taizong. The Black Dragon took a look; it was a vibrant emerald lion, so lifelike that its left paw was resting on a ball. Each item was peculiar; even the origins and extraction processes of things she was familiar with were completely different from what she had known. All these details were written in the extraction procedures that Zhao Lingling had pestered others to obtain. "Keep me company for a while." Gele Changyu walked into the backyard courtyard. Manna signaled for Yue'er to set up the tea service, but she specifically brought out a jade cup and placed it before Gele Changyu. Amidst the piles of rubble, Hao Yunzheng plucked a lush, green clover and left the scene. In any case, no matter where his mother was, she could receive the divine scrolls he wrote and reply to them in a timely manner. Before the big man’s club could fall, he tripped and fell with a thud, the weapon sliding from his grip and rolling far away. "I know," Murong Xuan smiled, "but the time is not yet right." Until he finally sat in that position, he dared not act rashly. This thought flickered in her mind, and even she found it ridiculous—how could it possibly be true? The personal guards were maintained at the expense of their commanding general; likewise, if Murong Xuan told her to go east, she could not go west, which was why she had come here to watch over her brother for him. However, the rule of earning military merit based on severed heads remained unchanged.

Now that this divine tablet had shattered, it meant that the broken relic had lost all signs of life. Was this youth not brought here by him to test her? She already knew the truth; what was the point of continuing this charade? She had always been somewhat afraid of him. He was fine when he wasn't angry, but when he lost his temper, she could be scared half to death. Jing Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She had just been thinking that when she went downstairs later, she would have to grit her teeth and endure, refusing to show any signs of abnormality, lest she embarrass herself completely. Chenxi seemed to have been beaten quite severely; her face was swollen, and her tongue didn't move as flexibly as usual when she spoke, making her voice sound as if something were obstructing it. Seeing Cang Yun return, Su Murong and the others were overjoyed. Ping Qing called out, urging Cang Yun to take his seat quickly. Cang Yun stepped forward to pay his respects to the elders, such as Danyue and the Prince of Wude, before sitting down beside Yuling. As the young man finished speaking, the Thunder Giant raised the thunderous hammer in his hand and smashed it down with unstoppable, overwhelming force.
