Seaside World.
An airship jetted out from the void of space and entered this world, quickly streaking across the sky.
Enduring a long time of flight, they had finally arrived.
Shannu observed the dimly-lit night atmosphere of the world and showed a refreshed expression.
âWhatâs the matterâ
Gu Qing Shan adjusted his hair that was being messed up by the night wind and asked.
âGongzi, if Luo Bing Li wakes up, she would probably like a world like thisâ
âAh, probably. She hasnât seen such a world ever beforeâ
Gu Qing Shan smiled: âWe temporarily donât have to go anywhere and are staying here to rest for a while, so sheâll have the chance to experience itâ
Shannu nodded in joy.
Gu Qing Shan made a small cut on his finger, crouched down, and started to draw a pattern on the deck of the airship.
Lin turned around, took a look at the pattern, and scoffed: âA low-level evil creature summoning circle, why are you trying to summon evil creatures?â
This evil creature summoning technique was something Gu Qing Shan learnt when he had just entered the Strife Zones on a scavenger ship.
At the time, a member of the ship used this technique to summon Gu Qing Shan who was the Devil King of Huang Quan.
Gu Qing Shan seriously continued to draw the pattern while answering her: âThis place is probably among the chaotic worlds at the outskirts of the Strife Zones. Since Iâm wanted in the Strife Zones, I canât show myself easily, thus I need a new identityâ
He glanced at the notification on the War God UI:
[Mystery of All Beings Equal have finished upgrading]
[When you use this Mystery, your body, as well as soul, will emulate the target of your choice from its essence, making it considerably more difficult to discover your true nature]
Hearing his answer, Lin didnât bother asking any more questions and looked down at the night below.
âThe sea...â
She lightly muttered as her eyebrows gradually smoothened.
âââthis was a renowned seaside world where its civilization was built on islands, the worldâs overall climate was quite mild and easy-going.
Under the shroud of the night, the sea and the dim lights emphasized one another, creating a refreshing scene of a sea resort.
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, didnât have the time to enjoy this scenery.
Since the Abyssal Demon Dragon knew a lot about him, he needed to use an identity that he had never used before.
After he finished the pattern, he started to chant the incantation.
âWith wealth as a reward, I summon youââ- no matter which world you came from or what kind of evil creature you are, as long as you heed my call and appear for a moment, I will grant you wealthâ
âCome, appear before me, take away this bit of wealth!â
Gu Qing Shan then put a single coin in the middle of the summoning circle.
Lin turned around, looked a bit at the coin, and scoffed again: âWhat is that little amount of money supposed to do? Not to mention, the currency that evil creatures like to use are soulsâ
Gu Qing Shan didnât look up and answered her: âThe only thing they need to do for this money is to show up, so Iâm hoping that some greedy evil creature would still appearâ
âMost likely a few low-leveled onesâ Lin replied.
âThat doesnât matter, the less conspicuous, the better. I need to lay low right nowâ Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained.
Lin understood what he meant and replied: âHm, Iâm wounded right now so I indeed canât handle any chaos. It would certainly be better if you take an unassuming formâ
While they spoke, the summoning circle started to give off light.
Lin suddenly told him: âIf itâs a sticky kind of evil creature, donât turn into itâ
Sticky kinds of evil creatures usually have a single role in the evil creature society, which was to clean up corpses.
âAlrightâ Gu Qing Shan agreed.
Lin continued: âCorpse-eaters are also no good, too foulâ
âAlrightâ
âFrenzied evil creatures are definitely no need, they look too fierce, I wouldnât be able to hold myself back from beating them upâ
âAlrightâ
âThose skirt-chasers and despicable evil creatures are also no goodâ
âAlrightâ
âSutured abominations are too uglyâ
â...alrightâ
Lin thought for a bit more, then finally: âJust those ones, the rest is up to youâ
Gu Qing Shan smiled bitterly.
With such restrictions, it seems Iâll have to summon a few more times.
Bamââ
A loud sound came out above the summoning circle.
An evil creature had arrived!
The three people looked on top of the pattern.
An abomination filled with nothing but sutured marks on its body had appeared.
This monster put its hand onto the coin on top of the summoning pattern.
Gu Qing Shan drew the Earth sword and lightly tapped this monsterâs head.
The monster immediately fainted.
Poof!
It turned into a puff of smoke and vanished.
âââan unconscious summoned creature would return to where it came.
The summoning circled continued to operate.
The coin was still there.
The next evil creature appeared.
This was a creature covered in pockets of pus with a head like a turtleââ
Bam!
Gu Qing Shan tapped the evil creatureâs head with the Earth sword.
Before the evil creature could fully manifest, it was knocked unconscious and sent back.
âVery good, quick reactionsâ
Lin praised him.
The summoning circle continued to work...
The next evil creature appeared.
ââpale, slender arms, pitch-black hair, pointy chin, and a pair of evil seductive eyes.
His body was lanky but relatively well-built, his clothes were trendy and well-coordinated.
Gu Qing Shan raised the Earth sword, but hesitated a bit.
This was a handsome male evil creature, although he didnât look too despicable, he seemed somewhat shady.
The evil creature waved his hand, took the coin, and checked it.
ă So, I donât need to do anything else, right? ă the evil creature asked.
His voice was quite magnetic and sincere, easily giving people a favorable impression.
Before Gu Qing Shan could answer, the evil creature had already seen Lin.
ă Huh? ă
His eyes lit up.
Then he saw Shannu.
ă Tsk tsk, just my type ă
The evil creature walked forward, then deeply bowed to Lin and Shannu.
ă Greetings, ladies. Would you like to be serviced? ă
The evil creature flashed a charming smile.
âHow much?â Lin chuckled and asked.
ă Not much at all, because of how beautiful you are, my dear ladies, as long as you are paying with Strife Zone coins, I can give you a discount ă
ă Normally, I charge quite a bit ă
The evil creature replied.
âWhat kind of services do you offer?â Shannu curiously asked.
Gu Qing Shan didnât wait any longer and knocked this evil creature unconscious as well.
Before the evil creature fainted, he didnât forget to take the money back from his grubby claws.
Poof!
The evil creature turned back into a puff of smoke and vanished from this world.
Shannu asked in confusion: âHuh? This oneâs appearance was quite decent, why didnât gongzi use him?â
âAnd also, what does he do?â
Gu Qing Shan didnât answer and glared at Lin.
Seeing Shannuâs confused expression, Lin suddenly realized.
...Tch, so the sword of the young birdie is also a young birdie.
Lin thought briefly and answered: âThat evil creature was a massage specialistâ
Gu Qing Shan knitted his brows a bit tighter.
Lin added: âBut he charges a lot, and would frequently steal thingsâ
Shannuâs interested quickly faded and scoffed: âAll evil creatures are no good after allâ
Only then did Gu Qing Shan relax a bit.
âAh, right, Shannu, you can return to rest now. You donât need to look after Lin any moreâ Gu Qing Shan told her.
âYesâ Shannu smiled and replied.
âââif gongzi didnât want me to protect Lin, Iâd prefer to stay with gongzi a lot more.
Shannu turned back into the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and entered Gu Qing Shanâs Thought Sea.
Lin and Gu Qing Shan exchanged glances.
âGo on then, I was just kidding just now. If that evil creature had dared to answer, I was ready to kill him with a single punchâ Lin casually told him.
âWhich means I would have had to send him back either wayâ Gu Qing Shan replied.
âThatâs because I forgot I was woundedâ Lin admitted.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her casual appearance and said helplessly: âFine, weâll continueâ
He put the coin back onto the summoning circle and resumed the summon.
