More lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[As you have obtained the title of âCherubâ belonging to the Condemnation deck, you have been bestowed with the following unique ability]
[Whenever you draw a Card, you may draw two Cards at once]
Gu Qing Shanâs eyes glowed but turned gloomy again.
Iâm currently an Azure Card, after my advancement, all I had left was a single Cardââ
The [True Crimson Demon Spear].
Even if I can draw one extra Card, I donât possess one to actually draw.
Hah...
The unique ability of a Cherub is drawing two Cards at once...
ââLittle Dusk was an Angel, so whatâs her unique ability?
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.
He glanced at the word âCherubâ on the UI and felt a bit irritated.
Why does a Condemnation title like âCherubâ exist?
With how innocent Little Dusk seemed, Gu Qing Shan could completely imagine what would have happened after she woke upââ
...
âWow, Gu Qing Shan, Iâve only hibernated for a bit and youâre already a Cherub!â
âCherub, I want to eat!â
âCherub, big sister wants to rob some people!â
...
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.
â-I need to desperately try harder.
The best choice is to get promoted to the next Condemnation rank and escape from this âCherubâ title.
This time, the true man known as Gu Qing Shan had silently steeled his determination.
Fortunately, this advancement didnât only give him an embarrassing title, but also something else that Gu Qing Shan was after.
The lines of glowing text that he expected finally appeared on the War God UI:
[Youâve become a Cherub of Condemnation Card]
[You now have just enough strength to provide the power to travel through time as one of the three unique entities]
Gu Qing Shan quickly refocused his mind.
Little Dusk is hibernating, so Iâll replace her for the short upcoming period.
The Great Bramble Tree is no issue.
The three coins are also no issue.
Only the Demon King of [Order] remains.
This shouldnât be any other issues either, as Gu Qing Shan had silently questioned the [Demon King Order] about this before.
Because he had brought the [Demon King Order] all the way to its [Demon King Ascension] stage during the Age of Old, coupled with his noble status as an Envoy of Condemnation, the [Demon King Order] can temporarily provide him a kind of power that only the Demon King has in order to support time travel.
This should be enough!
Once we return to the Bramble Bird kingdom and summon help from the 900 million World Layers Combatants, we will be able to return to the moment of the Spireâs destruction to save Lady Darksea!
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
âHey, Gu Qing Shan, are you guys done over there?â
Boss called out from the deck of the ship.
âIâm finally doneâ Gu Qing Shan smiled, âThe only thing left for us to do is return to the Bramble Bird Kingdomâ
âThen can we have lunch now?â Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Gu Qing Shan put on his apron again and asked: âSure, what does everyone want to eat?â
âEgg fried rice and smoked sausageâ Boss put in his order.
âIce cream!â Laura called out.
âJust ice cream?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âHm, Iâm dietingââ- give me one bucketâ Laura replied.
â...Alrightâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âHmm, Iâd like a bottle of liquor and two beef servings of beefsteakâ Zhang Ying Hao put in his order as well.
âI just want a bowl of beef noodlesâ Ye Fei Li also called out.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively: âIâm not making fresh noodles today, Fei Li, choose something elseâ
Ye Fei Li thought briefly, then tried asking: âThen, fried noodles pleaseâ
Gu Qing Shan turned to the War God UI and silently asked: âWill fried noodles also trigger [See you once again]?â
The War God UI responded curtly:
[Yes]
At the same time, the remaining Soul Points value on the UI changed, deducting 200.
Gu Qing Shan: â...â
He raised his meat cleaver and turned to Ye Fei Li:
âFei Li, letâs have a small agreement between us, from now on, donât ask for noodles anymore, ok?â
âAh... okâ
Ye Fei Li felt his heart beating faster for a brief moment and quickly answered.
So Gu Qing Shan took out his utensils and prepared everything, getting ready to cook.
At this time.
Everyone sensed it at the same time.
ââ-something was heading towards the airship!
Everyone drew their weapons, silently preparing for battle.
âFei Li, what do you hear!?â Gu Qing Shan called out.
Ye Fei Li shook his head: âToo fast! Prepare for impactâââ
Bam!
The shadow crashed into the deck and went through it completely.
Gu Qing Shan scanned through with his inner sight and asked in surprise: âAnna! And Kitty! What happened to you!?â
Kitty collapsed on the deck of the ship, unconscious.
Anna was bloody all over, barely hanging onto Kitty.
Everyone quickly gathered.
âSave Kitty quickly!â Anna hurriedly called out.
Laura immediately took out a small bottle and poured it into Kittyâs mouth without saying a word.
Kitty moaned softly before her breathing became stable again.
âHer injuries are heavy; sheâll most likely require a long nap before she can recoverâ Laura told her.
She handed another bottle to Anna.
Anna drank the entire bottle at once, only to see that her wounds were visibly healing themselves.
After just a few moments, all of Annaâs injuries had completely healed!
This shocked Anna.
âWhat a potent healing serum...â she muttered.
Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: âAnna, what exactly happened?â
Anna regained her senses and answered him: âWe came together with you, using the power of the three coins to return to the moment of Lady Darkseaâs death and tried to save herâ
What!?
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: âThen, you mean that you traveled with me back to the past, then came back here again?â
âYesâ Annaâs eyes were a bit red, âGu Qing Shan, you have to save everyone, quicklyâ
Gu Qing Shan softly grabbed her hand and slowly asked: âDonât panic, tell me, what is the current war situation?â
Anna replied: âWe managed to fend the Soul Shrieker off, but suffered heavy casualties in return, so many people are at the brink of death, requiring instant aid!â
âDid we actually win?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
Anna nodded affirmatively.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then turned around and signaled to Zhang Ying Hao.
âHelp me carry Kitty, Iâll support Anna. Letâs bring them to the dining tableâ
âAh, okâ
The two girls were carefully escorted over.
Laura put out a bed for Kitty to lie on.
Anna had fully recovered, so she sat on one of the dining chairs.
âQing Shan, letâs hurry and save everyone!â she was sobbing as she said that.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her and gently said: âNo worries, Anna, whenever we run into such situations, we need to tell ourselves, not to panic and stay calmâ
âButâââ
As Anna still wanted to refute, Gu Qing Shan cut her off: âDonât worry, with the three coins, we can return to any moment in the past; that includes the moment before anyone dies, so thereâs no need to hurry at allââ- isnât that right?â
Anna froze.
Thatâs true.
âThatâs great, why didnât I think of that?â she sighed in relief.
The others also thought a bit and realized that to be true, so they calmed down as well.
They had already won the war, so there really was no need to hurry.
Gu Qing Shan patted her shoulder and asked: âHave you eaten yet? Let us have a meal first before we talk about other thingsâ
He put out a few bottles of liquor on the table, set up a few snacks, then turned around to cook.
âWhat do you want to eat?â
Gu Qing Shan asked without turning around.
Anna was stunned.
I hurriedly traveled through time to reach here, just to eat.
Fine...
She replied: âAnything is fine, you can choose for meâ
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
His movements were skillful and full of expertise, finishing a portion of food for each person in just a short period of time.
Anna simply sat there, blankly staring at him without saying anything.
Kitty also woke up.
Anna then walked up to her and told her what Gu Qing Shan said.
Kitty nodded.
Gu Qing Shan casually made a portion of soft tofu for her.
âAlthough Lauraâs medicine healed you, your wounds havenât fully recovered yet, so thereâs no need to eat rice, just a small snack is enoughâ he told her.
Kitty nodded and drank the soft tofu.
âHowâs the taste?â Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.
Kitty looked over the table full of delicious food and praised: âIt was delicious, as expected of something you made!â
Gu Qing Shan turned around, finished up a bowl of noodles, and handed it to Anna.
âEveryone can dig inâ Gu Qing Shan said.
The group said nothing and simply ate.
After the meal was over, Gu Qing Shan and Laura cleaned everything up and put all the utensils away before sitting down with the two girls.
Wiping his hand, Gu Qing Shan looked at Anna and asked: âNow, tell me the real reason youâre hereâ
Annaâs expression turned blank and muttered: âWe came here to bring you back to the past, where the master is lying in ambush, ready to catch youâ
Kittyâs face turned pale and shouted: âWhat are you saying!?â
Before she could move, the barrel of a gun was pressed against her forehead while a khopesh was propped right at her neck.
And thenââ-
Clak clak clak!
Laura released a mountain of sealing artifacts, piled on top of Kitty, and made sure that she couldnât move.
As for Anna, she was being held at the sword tips of both the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and the Earth sword in front and back, not daring to make even the slightest movement.
Boss observed Gu Qing Shan and smiled: âHow interesting. No wonder you normally refuse to make noodles, turns out it was to be used for interrogationâ
Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked Ye Fei Li: âUnderstood?â
âUnderstood, I wonât ask for noodles anymoreâ
Ye Fei Li sincerely replied.
Laura was still in complete disbelief and asked: âGu Qing Shan, how did you notice that they were fake?â
Gu Qing Shan stroked her head and replied: âAnna loves drinking even more than I do, but she didnât touch any of the bottles I left on the table before I started cookingâ
âWhat about Kitty?â
âKitty isnât the kind of person to keep her opinions to herself. Earlier, when I made her a bowl of savoury soft tofu, she praised it to be deliciousâ
âWhatâs wrong with that?â
âShe only likes her tofu sweet, itâs her brother Barry that likes it savouryâ
