Chapter 1818 - 1418: Holy Envoy, Your Damn Slaughtering Knife!

Even though Gu Changsheng was in the dark, from the reactions of those around her, she guessed about seventy to eighty percent of the situation!

She probably really stepped on the cat’s tail unintentionally!

But, this fortunate hit was not her fault either! If blame was to be assigned, it could only be her fantastic luck that her random babble hit the bullseye. It truly wasn’t her fault!

Thus, the great compassionate Gu Changsheng felt that Diluo Han was quite pitiful; she would let bygones be bygones and not stoop to his level!

Wasn’t he blocking the front of the Star Innate Tower?

No problem, we can just bypass him, and all will be well, it’s no big deal. A true man can bend and stretch; we won’t stoop to the level of that young gentleman!

Therefore, Gu Changsheng chose to avoid his sharpness, and not engage with the furious Diluo Han, pulling her own evildoer and calling out to Shi Wujue, they made their way around Diluo Han...

However...

How could Diluo Han, having had his cat’s tail stepped on, agree?

The Mountain Splitting Axe swung, and blocked Gu Changsheng’s way...

Gu Changsheng made a sudden stop, and just before the Mountain Splitting Axe could ambush her chest, she successfully hugged her own proudly-held chest, her gaze at Diluo Han suddenly became less cordial, and her phoenix eyes turned cooler, "What do you want?"

"What do I want? Do you really think that with just a few tattered fans, you can sweep through the Star Innate Tower? Let me tell you, you’re courting death!" Diluo Han’s face was grim, hatred steaming from his eyes.

"What’s wrong with tattered fans? Don’t underestimate them, a slaughter knife isn’t needed for a pig, dealing with you, these few tattered fans are more than enough!" Gu Changsheng’s face also darkened after being stopped repeatedly by Diluo Han, and her words became increasingly impolite!

"You!" Diluo Han was furious.

"What? Tattered fans aren’t good enough for you? Fine, I’ll use a knife!" Gu Changsheng cast a disdainful glance at Diluo Han, turned, and said to Yuan Bao, "Xiao Er Que, check if we brought a kitchen knife, if there’s one, hand it over to your dear wife here, so others don’t think we underestimate them!"

"Haha...this little lady, she’s really entertaining!"

"But a bit too arrogant, Diluo Han isn’t easy to deal with!"

"Indeed, indeed..."

"..."

Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, those gathered in front of the Star Innate Tower waiting to enter burst into laughter.

This woman could really infuriate someone without paying for it, a few words almost brought Diluo Han to tears. Especially her expression, though not entirely clear, from her tone one could vaguely feel that she truly didn’t take Diluo Han seriously!

"Ah? Dear wife, wait a moment, there’s too much stuff, let me search..." The towering Yuan Bao, just having been named by his dear wife, quickly responded, and then to the bundles hung on him, he began rummaging...

Then...

Under everyone’s gaze, a bag of salt fell out, cookware presented themselves one by one in front of the crowd, a variety of vegetables and meats were clearly revealed...

The onlookers were stunned, jaws once again dropped...

Godfather, what did they just see?

Did someone just move an entire kitchen out?

Yet how could this person appear in front of the Star Innate Tower? With such a solemn event of the Star Innate Tower opening, a tower challenge right in front of them, how could there be such incongruous things within their view?

The crowd collectively thought they must be seeing things and got it wrong!

But, rubbing their eyes, those things, surprisingly, still remained!

The onlookers immediately felt a sense of disorientation, glanced at the towering Star Innate Tower ahead...

Still soaring into the clouds, sacred in every way, no mistake...

But...

Aren’t this cookware and food misplaced?

"Ah! Dear wife, I found it!"

While the crowd was still dumbfounded, Yuan Bao finally found what he was looking for, dug out a kitchen knife from the pile, and tossed it toward Gu Changsheng...

"The cook at the inn said this knife is used for slaughtering pigs and cutting meat, sharpened finely, ensures precision cuts, razor-sharp, not soft at all!" Seeing his dear wife effortlessly catch the kitchen knife, Yuan Bao proudly remarked.

Gu Changsheng’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch upon hearing this, looking at the knife in her hand, then at Diluo Han, whose expression had turned so grim it seemed ink might drip...

Gu Changsheng genuinely felt immense sympathy!

Her Yuan Bao, Xiao Er Que, had just unwittingly delivered a divine finishing blow!

Did the newly arrived one even know what the kitchen knife was for?

"Well...this really is a slaughtering knife..." Gu Changsheng, a bit blankly holding the slaughtering knife in her hand, blinked her big eyes at Diluo Han and said, "Still, slaughtering a pig with a butcher’s knife is giving you enough respect, but we were in a hurry, there was no butcher’s knife, we’ll have to make do with the slaughtering knife, hope you don’t mind..."

Gu Changsheng’s somewhat regretful tone had truly infuriated Diluo Han, who was on the verge of losing control!

Zhou Mu looked at his little woman, his face akin to a Divine Residence, with indulgence and helplessness in his eyes and brows...

Meanwhile, Shi Wujue simply shook his head, speechless in response!

He truly had never seen Gu Changsheng like this, so insolent and brash, with a devil-may-care attitude...

And the people around, after being pulled back from Yuan Bao’s cook outfit, were instantly drawn to the slaughtering knife in Gu Changsheng’s hand!

For a moment, everyone remained silent!

They didn’t know if this woman, who could aggravate people without paying the price, was truly capable or just putting on a show. Nor did they know where her audacious confidence came from. However, they knew one thing: to provoke Diluo Han so recklessly meant she truly feared nothing about him!

That alone was something they couldn’t achieve!

So, the crowd’s gaze toward Gu Changsheng and her group became quite intriguing, mingled with scrutiny, wondering if entering the tower together and risking offending Diluo Han might be an option...

After all, she dared to openly challenge Diluo Han...

"You’re courting death! Give me your life!" With a sweep of the Mountain Splitting Axe, Diluo Han, his face flushed with rage, charged toward Gu Changsheng!

Kill her!

Kill this woman with a glib tongue that drove him mad!

This was the only thought in Diluo Han’s mind!

If he didn’t kill her, how would he, Diluo Han, stand his ground in the future? Wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

Endless killing intent instantly filled Diluo Han’s body, and the Mountain Splitting Axe in his hand carried the weight of a thousand pounds, aiming right at Gu Changsheng’s face!

Diluo Han’s speed was swift, yet Gu Changsheng didn’t seem to care at all, still examining the slaughtering knife in her hand, as if she had obtained a remarkable weapon, twirling it artfully...

The situation immediately became tense, with the silence so profound you could hear a pin drop...

All eyes were on the Mountain Splitting Axe in Diluo Han’s hand, unable to bear the sight of Gu Changsheng potentially falling in a pool of blood...

But just as the Mountain Splitting Axe was inches from Gu Changsheng’s face, her grip on the slaughtering knife slightly shifted...

She was absolutely confident that her slaughtering knife could triumph over the mighty Mountain Splitting Axe!

However...

Before Gu Changsheng could swing the slaughtering knife, Diluo Han’s Mountain Splitting Axe halted right in front of her face, motionless...

Gu Changsheng’s Phoenix Eyes instantly narrowed dangerously, watching Diluo Han struggle to exert more force, yet the axe seemed frozen in time, not budging an inch...

Her heart trembled, and Gu Changsheng couldn’t resist shifting her gaze toward the entrance of the Star Innate Tower...

There, a mysterious child in a white brocade robe slowly emerged from the doorway, about five or six years old, similar in age to Xiao Meat Bun, but his face was devoid of any expression, his eyes untouched by the fumes of the mortal world...

Gu Changsheng looked at the tower door behind the child, her eyes narrowing dangerously...

It’s said that once the climb challenge of the Star Innate Tower begins, unless one voluntarily gives up or reaches the highest level, no one comes out from within the tower...

Could it be that the Star Innate Tower is truly this terrifying? In such a short time, someone already gave up voluntarily?

"Holy Envoy? Why are you stopping me!" At this moment, Diluo Han also noticed the anomaly, turning back to glare at the child, speaking with unwillingness, yet his eyes were filled with dread, and he stopped adding force to the Mountain Splitting Axe.

The Holy Envoy Child glanced at Diluo Han with eyes devoid of emotion, then scanned Gu Changsheng and her group, finally stopping at a void space, his young voice carrying no emotion, "The Holy Master has decreed, within the Star Innate Tower, let fate decide. Outside the tower, no bloodshed. Those who defy the Holy Master’s word, perish!"

The word "perish" spoken so nonchalantly by the Holy Envoy Child caused Gu Changsheng to clearly see Diluo Han’s body tremble as he heard it, and the Mountain Splitting Axe in his hand fell limply to the ground!

If Gu Changsheng hadn’t taken a step back, the Mountain Splitting Axe would have fallen on her foot!

Gu Changsheng’s gaze at the Holy Envoy Child instantly turned cold!

Why, this little brat did it on purpose, didn’t he?

Withdrawing force at this timing, is it to make her back off a step?

Damn it, she hasn’t even entered the tower yet, already being hoodwinked?

A little brat still wet behind the ears, huh?

Good heavens!

Gu Changsheng’s grip on the slaughtering knife tightened, and her gaze on the Holy Envoy Child burned even more fiercely...

The Holy Envoy Child seemed quite pleased to see Gu Changsheng step back, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes devoid of mortal smoke, and he even nodded his little head...

His actions undoubtedly confirmed Gu Changsheng’s suspicion, and immediately, she raised the slaughtering knife in her hand...
