Capítulo 987: Chapter 66: Secret News of the Ageless, The Truth Cos to Light
“Hmm? Why are you suddenly praising ?”
Shui Longyin beca alert at once, staring at Xu Shu with suspicion.
Xu Shu chuckled but didn’t explain.
He originally planned to avoid trouble by directly selling misery, knowing that Shui Longyin would pay him out of embarrassnt.
But after serious consideration, he decided to follow the process of the Conquest, burying Shui Longyin in a coffin for a while.
So troubles couldn’t be skipped; who knew if she would change her mind if she wasn’t buried? Better to be safe.
Xu Shu reviewed his earlier actions and expressions, beginning to ticulously imitate himself.
“I’m going back to the safe zone today. I’ll dig a hole for you here. Wait for to return, and don’t wander around,” Xu Shu cleared his throat and said.
Shui Longyin tilted her head slightly, looking around blankly: “Huh? Here?”
“Of course, as a Tiao Tiao, living in a burial mound shouldn’t be hard to understand, right?”
Xu Shu didn’t explain much and stepped forward, following his mory, entering the burial mound ahead.
There was an ancient building resembling a Yizhuang, a four-part courtyard of considerable size. Judging by its structure, it might have been the ancestral shrine of so wealthy family, which fell into decline during the Great Catastrophe Period and was used by nearby refugees to temporarily bury their families.
After over ten years, the refuge of that ti had perished, and this place was completely abandoned, with no visitors anymore.
Xu Shu glanced around, only to see rusty fences, walls full of mold, and a courtyard overgrown with weeds, making this ancient shrine appear both desolate and serene.
“Not bad, truly a good place to hide soone.”
Xu Shu, familiar with the place, dug a hole in the left corner of the courtyard.
Then he picked the largest of the empty coffins in the shrine and placed it inside.
In no ti, a brand-new yet hidden tomb was created.
“Stop dawdling, co on in!” Xu Shu patted the coffin lid loudly, inviting Shui Longyin to sleep inside.
Shui Longyin hopped over, seeming sowhat discontented with the dust-covered coffin.
Nevertheless, Xu Shu placed her into the coffin, and carefully closed it, completing his task with ticulous attention.
Afterward, he dashed back to the safe zone entrance, sitting quietly outside the wall for more than an hour, then returned imdiately.
In the Conquest, he pretended to enter the Star Tower for trading, buying a crystal.
This ti, however, in reality, he didn’t need to fear the Star Tower’s attack, so Xu Shu indeed went back to the base of the Star Tower.
He found Old Gang at Pangu Machinery and sold the 32 crystals he hunted on the wasteland the day before, earning 200 contribution points, then spent 500 to buy a third-tier crystal.
Thus, his contribution points only had a pitiful “10 points” left, not even enough to fly to the adjacent Star Tower.
Estimating there were still two hours left until the ti when Shui Longyin “keeps him,” Xu Shu didn’t hurry to leave town but first returned to his ho at No.2 Lower District, Lanling Royal Office, Building 178.
As Xu Shu entered, the orange cat sunbathing on the windowsill noticed.
“ow! Alice is good at keeping the house safe; Xu Shu is bad for staying out all night!”
Alice zipped over, voicing her grievances in a small, annoyed tone while sniffing Xu Shu carefully.
A mont later, she frowned slightly: “Did you go kill again, ow? Why do you sll like a dead man and rotten vegetables?”
Xu Shu was montarily startled at her words.
The source of the dead man sll was obvious, definitely from Shui Longyin, who now was a peculiar “living corpse.”
But where did the rotten vegetable sll co from? Could it be referring to the remnant flower puppet???
Tsk, the Enchanting Demon’s nose is surprisingly sensitive; I clearly took a bath thoroughly yesterday, yet she could still sll it? This is sharper than a dog’s nose…
He muttered inwardly but outwardly said with so grandness: “Here, this crystal is for you, as a reward for watching the house these past few days. Next ti, don’t secretly go crying to the bishop’s portrait, complaining that I don’t care for you.”
Xu Shu handed over a third-tier crystal without ceremony, its inside whirling with six eroding spirals, clear and bright.
“For ? I haven’t finished the last one you gave yet, how co you’re so generous, you’re not tricking , are you…”
Alice suspiciously reached out with her two fluffy paws, holding the fist-sized crystal, gently biting it a few tis.
Monts later, her tail stood upright as if electrified.
“Hmm? It actually seems real, ow~” Alice’s eyes widened, shining brightly.
“Am I that unworthy in your eyes?” Xu Shu rolled his eyes, saying, “I ran into so trouble these days, I might not have ti to co back.”
“Oh, need ow to help?” Alice flicked out a nail-sized blade, sharp and radiating strength.
“Uh…”
Xu Shu looked at the little cat’s sharp claws, inwardly muttering.
He knew that Alice’s claw blade wasn’t ant to attack others, but to attack his own spine.
This was the “Curse Blade,” used to cut open the flesh at his coccyx, allowing her to release her Second Rank signature ability “Falling in Love,” burrowing into his body to provide substantial protection and power boost.
Before, when Xu Shu was at the Second-order Peak, with Alice’s blessing, he could confront Third-stage Early Stage Transcendents and even had decent self-defense under the pursuit of Mid-stage Demon Chosen.
