As it turned out, players who were drama enthusiasts didn’t have much of a stance when it ca to their interests. Once Gu Shanhai’s proposal ntioned that Yu Niang could help them alleviate the economic burden of fostering Dragon Lady Lola, the two expressed that they would go back and consider it.
Gu Shanhai knew that their consideration was not about whether to accept Yu Niang, but about who would take her in.
Ti flew by, and now it was already the sixth day of the second loop, with the wedding day tomorrow. Actually, there had been quite a few events in between, but most of them had little to do with Gu Shanhai.
For instance, last night, Fan Shi lured Yu Niang to Luo Mansion and then vanished early this morning. No one knew whether he had evaporated from this world or left Qingxian Town to study abroad in Japan.
However, Gu Nei Zhenren was still around and had beco the dimwitted son of the Luo Family’s officiant. That was expected.
In fact, Gu Shanhai was quite surprised that Fan Shi could trick soone into coming over, not to ntion the highly suspicious and incompetent Yue Niang. Considering the states of both Heavenly Immortal Kuangzui and White Cloud, how could soone be so easily deceived?
Currently, Yu Niang was locked in the backyard, washing her face with tears, sobbing terribly. However, it seed she had not yet accepted her fate and probably still needed so help.
Besides that, Gu Shanhai had discovered a severe problem—Luo Mansion didn’t seem genuinely keen on forming a marital alliance; he had detected traces of mana.
It was like a ritual.
Of course, more importantly, he had found Yu Niang’s birth ti and date. Since the families of the newlyweds will undoubtedly exchange this information, he went to join the crowd for a peek. Although Luo Huaisong harbored ill intentions, he still adhered to certain rites and rituals, which seed to be part of the ceremony as well.
As a forr Marked Druid and Green Knight, Gu Shanhai speculated that this could very well be so sort of fortune-changing ritual.
"A girl born in the yang of the year, month, and hour, coupled with a boy born in the yin of the year, month, and hour, gives a sense of discord between yin and yang."
The yang of the year was Yu Niang, while the yin of the year was Luo Huaisong’s idiot son... well, whether he was actually his son was another matter, and even the dim-wittedness might be part of the whole ruse.
"Qingxian, Three-Life..."
Gu Shanhai felt exhausted in his heart, hoping the last phase would involve monster hunting.
"Wait, that painting!" Gu Shanhai suddenly rembered sothing. He hadn’t found that painting, but could there be a possibility that they were inside the painting?
The painting was nad Three-Life Town, not a town called Three-Life but rather a sense of suppressing sothing for three lifetis.
If he started with this idea, then did it an that Qingxian Town was suppressing so sort of great evil?
"Damn, it’s really possible!"
The reason why the painting was sent to Yun Niang Temple was that the sealing had begun there.
As to why Gu Shanhai turned over every stone but didn’t find it, the reason was simple: he wasn’t in the painting but inside it. This wasn’t the real Qingxian Town.
Thinking of this, Gu Shanhai swore internally.
"Stay calm, it’s just a word ga." Gu Shanhai cald his mind. As for Yu Niang and Yue Niang, they were probably sothing like the core.
But with calmness ca more conspiracy theories.
What was being suppressed?
An immortal?
Gu Shanhai knew of the existence of gods in this world, having encountered Black Tiger, who substituted as the Mountain God, and having seen the blood letters written with the blood of a millennium-old mountain ghost.
The existence of immortals was theoretically possible, at least in ancient tis. When Gu Shanhai first visited Xuanwei Sect, he collected so information. The founding elder of Xuanwei Sect had indeed beco an immortal and later ascended, leaving for so unfortunate world.
Ascension did not necessarily lead to a world with a direct lineage; it could also an traveling to other worlds. However, there were fewer consequences to ascending to other worlds, like an exchange program where two worlds communicate and converge. Of course, such cases were rare.
Most ascensions or breaking through the void were truly heading to higher realms.
Gu Shanhai was unclear about what this world entailed, having not ascended in this life and being ignorant of the precise structure of this world.
For players, ascending had benefits, such as gaining extra attributes or even a chance to acquire skills and attributes. It’s a boon for players in the immortal and fantasy system gas. Of course, ascension ca with its trials.
Gu Shanhai had tried it himself in his previous life, ascending multiple tis and freeloaded off the rewards. Ascension wasn’t a one-ti deal; one could ascend again in a different world with a similar setup.
Of course, there were drawbacks to ascending too. Once you ascended, you couldn’t return to your original world unless you had a special item. Even then, returning would result in resisted attributes diminishing, talents being suppressed, and it getting progressively worse over ti unless you left, or else it might beco a permanent negative reduction.
"Forget it, no use in wild guesses now. I better figure out a way to deal with Hu Mazi first; they should be ready to make their move in half an hour." Gu Shanhai knew the ti was nearly up, and neither Hu Mazi nor Luo Huaisong were likely to let him wait until tomorrow smoothly.
The reason they hadn’t acted these past few days was fear of complications since if Gu Shanhai disappeared before securing the million silver coins, they would suffer a massive loss.
