Chapter 507: The true Aboul
Translated by: La0o9
Proofreader: Arya
Gu Qing Shan wanted to return [Blood Sea God Army] to Su Xue Er.
But Su Xue Er wouldnât take it back no matter what, insisting that he keep it.
Not given much of a choice, Gu Qing Shan could only hold on to the card [Blood Sea God Army] for now.
At this time, a warm sunlight of dawn and tranquil sounds appeared in the room, drifting around Su Xue Er.
Su Xue Er closely listened to it.
The strange phenomenon quickly went away.
âWhat was that just now?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âThe Bramble Birdâs call. The venerable Light of Dawn sensed my presence, and because I was one of the first to arrive, she had decided to allow me entry to her world after 1 hourâ Su Xue Er replied.
âBut I donât feel anything yetâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âOf course not, youâve only just arrived, thereâs still quite a long line until youâre calledâ
â1 hour huhâŠâ Gu Qing Shan muttered.
So Su Xue Er already has to leave after such a short time.
Su Xue Er told him: âItâs nothing, Iâll just go in first to scout and wait for youâ
Gu Qing Shanâs thoughts changed a bitââ- thatâs true, Iâll have to enter sooner or later.
He smiled: âThen it seems your choice was correct, if we had participated in the banquet, you would already have to leave before the banquet was doneâ
âThatâs right, so weâll be going to the true Aboul for a short vacation from this hotel, since time passes really slowly in there, Iâll be able to stay for a little bit longerâ Su Xue Er said.
âThen letâs go nowâ Gu Qing Shan agreed.
Su Xue Er opened her palm: âGive me your room cardâ
âWhereâs yours?â Gu Qing Shan couldnât help but ask.
âI ran out on my own, where would I find so much money to book a room? Not to mention, only a high-ranked suite like yours could go to Aboul for freeâ
Gu Qing Shan handed Su Xue Er his golden room card.
Su Xue Er relaxed a bit and activated the room card.
A voice came from the room card.
[Esteemed guest, what can I do for you]
âWe want to go to Aboulâ
[How long will you be staying?]
Su Xue Er thought for a bit and replied: âHalf a monthâ
[Time has been registered according to your roomâs rank, please wait a moment]
Before the voice finished, the glittering gold card had already hovered by itself, releasing runes one after another.
The runes quickly combined to form a large gate.
When they looked through the gate, they found the other side was a long snowy mountain range covered in vast pure white snow, but at the bottom of the mountain was a beautiful small town, giving off a sense of leisure and tranquility.
There was a clear lake right next to the town, where some people were rafting in small boats.
The other side of the lake was a wide highway that connected to a grand metropolis.
Gu Qing Shan and Su Xue Er returned their gazes.
Two beautiful horses were quickly coming towards them along a grassy meadow, stopping right next to the rune gate.
They were majestic, with all four legs slightly off the ground.
The Elements of Wind and Water were flowing from their bodies, even through the gate, Gu Qing Shan could sense the power they held.
The horses looked at Gu Qing Shan and Su Xue Er, neighing with a long breath.
âLook, theyâre urging us to get onâ Su Xue Er smiled and said.
Gu Qing Shan muses for a bit: âI heard you canât get hurt insideâ
âOf course, did you think there would be some sort of danger in a vacation spot like Aboul?â Su Xue Er was surprised.
âIâve never ridden a horse beforeâ Gu Qing Shan looked at the horse, hesitant.
Su Xue Er started to laugh.
She pulled Gu Qing Shan and entered the rune gate.
She briefly taught Gu Qing Shan the basics.
âThe simplest way is to adjust your posture with the horseâs rhythm. When it moves fast, you also move fast; when it slows down, you also slow down, that way at least you wonât churn your internal organsâ
âIs this correct?â Gu Qing Shan held the reigns and asked.
âNot quiteâ
Su Xue Er slapped the horseâs rear and gently called out: âHah!â
Right away, the horse shot away like an arrow.
âThis girlâââ Gu Qing Shanâs voice came from afar.
In just the blink of an eye, he had already made it really far.
Su Xue Er stood still, waiting until Gu Qing Shan wasnât in sight anymore to rub the slightly reddened corners of her eyes.
Then she quickly jumped on her own horse to pursue after Gu Qing Shan.
Infini-worlds Town.
This was Aboulâs most famous resort.
Within this small town, time moves particularly slow.
More interestingly, this sub-world was created from the combined powers and intellect of all the Old Gods.
It had two unique Laws.
First, half a month in here was only equal to a day outside.
Second, no one could get hurt while they were here.
Perhaps the Old Gods wanted to use this sub-world for something else.
But obviously, they couldnât finish it before quickly disappearing somewhere.
But with these two Laws, the town became the perfect vacation spot.
Gu Qing Shan and Su Xue Er stayed at the center of Infini-worlds Town, enjoying themselves.
This place had a special type of fireflies.
Every firefly represents a sure-kill technique.
When you catch one, youâll enter an illusion that shows yourself using this powerful technique against the enemy.
Of course, all you can do is see the techniqueâs power without being able to look into its secrets.
These are techniques specifically gathered by the managers of Infini-worlds Town, so they are all renowned techniques within the 900 million World Layers used by powerful Combatants of history.
Just by touching a firefly, youâll be able to see yourself using a renowned technique to teach an opponent how to say âuncleâ.
This was a never-before-seen experience.
âQing Shan! Guess what I saw?â Su Xue Er happily spoke.
âWhat?â
âI turned the enemy into an egg!â
âAh? That sounds impressive, then what?â
âThen I threw it into boiling water to cook and peel to eatâ
ââŠwhat a strange technique, but you definitely wonât guess what kind of technique I sawâ
âLet me seeâ
Su Xue Er received the firefly from Gu Qing Shan and closed her eyes.
A few moments later, she looked at Gu Qing Shan with painful eyes: âYou shouldnât have shown me thisâ
âWhy not?â Gu Qing Shan was surprised, âthis skill can only make the opponent become fat uncontrollably, enough that their limbs and body become so bloated that they canât even touch the groundâ
âDummy!â
âŠ
A long while later, they finally finished trying out techniques and left this area.
The shops in this town sold all kinds of wondrous and unimaginable things.
No clerks, no shopkeepers, everything was controlled fully with the customerâs mind.
Gu Qing Shan went with Su Xue Er from one shop to another.
In the weaponâs shop, every type of weapon had its own warehouse sub-space.
When Gu Qing Shan took a look at the sword sub-space, he was shaken even when it was time to leave.
A world completely made from swords.
If it werenât for the fact that he had no money, he wouldâve loved to buy the entire world.
Su Xue Er wasnât at all interested in the weapons.
But she pulled Gu Qing Shan into an Infini-worlds female clothing store.
After thatââ
Gu Qing Shan said âbeautifulâ 94 times, âso-soâ 31 times and âyou should try something elseâ 5 times.
They spent an entire afternoon in this shop.
While he was waiting for Su Xue Er to change clothes, something minor happened.
Xiao Dieâs pink bikini silently came out from his Inventory Bag, catching Gu Qing Shan off-guard.
âHow did you come out by yourself?â he couldnât help but ask.
It was lucky that Su Xue Er was in the changing room at the moment.
Otherwise, Gu Qing Shan didnât know what she wouldâve said when she found that he kept such a bikini on himself.
The pink bikini complained: âYou said youâd find me the perfect female owner, but I havenât heard anything for so longâ or did you forget?â
Gu Qing Shan face-palmed in his mind, but kept a straight face: âHow could I forget! I still remember it clearlyâ
He really did forget.
Hearing that, the pink bikini was pleased: âItâs good that you remember, Iâll be waiting for your good newsâ
It went back into Gu Qing Shanâs Inventory Bag.
âWait a minute!â Gu Qing Shan took it back out: âHow did you get out of my Inventory Bag?â
âI can bring you across countless World Layers, this is childâs play compared to thatâ the pink bikini answered.
âDonât leave on your own for the time being, Iâll think of something for what I promisedâ Gu Qing Shan solemnly told it.
âAlright, alright, Iâll just be looking forward to your good newsâ the pink bikini answered.
Gu Qing Shan shoved it back into his Inventory Bag.
Su Xue Er excitedly trotted over.
âHow does this look?â she was wearing a long sun-dress, showing it off to Gu Qing Shan with a twirl.
âNice! Itâs very beautifulâ Gu Qing Shan raised his thumb.
âBut thereâs also this other dress thatâs quite nice, I have to try it on as wellâ saying so, Su Xue Er ran off again.
Gu Qing Shan wiped his cold sweat.
That was dangerous.
Su Xue Er almost saw that pink bikini.
She wouldâve thought of me as a pervert.
A long time later, Su Xue Er finally finished trying out clothes.
It was now nighttime.
âAre you hungry yet?â
âIâm still fine, but if youâre hungryâŠâ
The two of them went to dinner.
There was only one diner in this town.
Legends have it that no matter how many people get in, this diner would never be full.
At its peak, it served 400 million customers at once.
The two freely chose a place to sit down.
âStrange, this is a vacation resort but thereâs no one here at allâ Gu Qing Shan looked around.
There was literally no one in the town.
Himself and Su Xue Er were the only two wandering aimlessly around town.
The shops and diner were the same.
âTheyâre all probably at the Bramble Bird princessâ public debut banquetâ Su Xue Er commented.
âBramble BirdsâŠâ Gu Qing Shan muttered.
âTheyâre mystical creatures, according to them, there are 12 kinds of spirits in the world, so theyâre considered to have matured at the age of 12â Su Xue Er didnât need to think much and simply recounted the knowledge in her mind.
âIn order words, the princess is about 12 years old?â
âCorrectâ
âHeh, so many people go out just to see a 12 years old little girl instead of enjoying their vacationâ
âThereâs still usâ
The two chuckled a bit looking at each other.
The night breeze swept by, refreshing and pleasant.
In the diner, they sat where the wind blew in from the window and ordered a few things on the menu.
Gu Qing Shan first ordered a glass of transparent amber wine, then some fish, bread and cheese, following Su Xue Erâs advice.
ââin the infinite worlds, these were the three safer kinds of food.
The fish was caught right from the nearby lake, it was also this placeâs specialty.
Gu Qing Shanâs tastes leaned a bit more on the heavy side, but he couldnât help but admit that this fish was really good.
Since he wasnât used to eating bread and cheese, he put them down after just a few bites.
Seeing that, Su Xue Er took it from him and ate without any hesitation.
She also ordered herself the most expensive fruit salad of the restaurant.
Gu Qing Shan also tried it and found that it tasted decent.
But they were all light foods.
Gu Qing Shan couldnât help but crave some spicy hotpot dishes.
Fortunately, the transparent amber wine was quite good, it felt refreshing in his throat.
After finishing it, Gu Qing Shan felt like having another glass.
Seeing him like that, Su Xue Er ordered Gu Qing Shan a bowl of noodles.
These noodles were a bit savory and lightly spiced, quite fitting to Gu Qing Shanâs taste.
Gu Qing Shan couldnât even put down the chopsticks. As he ate.
Seeing that, Su Xue Er couldnât help but try a small bite.
Then the two of them shared this bowl of noodles.
They just sat there, eating and drinking without any heavy thoughts in their hearts. Occasionally they would admire the pleasant, elegant chandeliers and artistic ornaments of the diner, or look out to enjoy the scenery of the lake outside.
Truly a pleasant time.
All of a sudden, a loud rooster-like voice could be heard.
âHah, well what do you know, there really was someone here and not at the banquet!â
Gu Qing Shan and Su Xue Er looked back to see where the voice came from.
Only to see a large rooster and a floating log coming into the diner.
Gu Qing Shan and the roosterâs eyes met.
âAh? Gu boy, why are you here?â the rooster couldnât help but exclaim.
