Chapter 1847 - 1445: Wherever Changsheng Goes, Nothing Is Left Behind!

When Yuan Bao saw Shi Wujue’s gloomy expression without any rebuttal, his round and plump face immediately revealed a look of approval!

However, at this moment, Yuan Bao did not know that many years later, because of a curse casually spoken during this verbal spat, he would suffer greatly!

If time could turn back, Yuan Bao swore, even if beaten to death, he would not say today’s words. This was simply a case of deep regret, digging one’s own grave!

But let’s not dwell on future matters; the thing Yuan Bao most enjoyed seeing was the scene of his lady and master being lovey-dovey together, as this greatly discouraged Shi Wujue, who was waiting to steal the show, didn’t it?

Thus, Yuan Bao was very happy, and Shi Wujue was very gloomy, while the Holy Envoy Child watched the layers of Luminous Pearls being dug out, anxiously jumping around, but to no avail!

"Evildoer, aren’t your hands sore from digging out the Luminous Pearls? How about letting me do it?" Gu Changsheng was so embarrassed by Zhou Mu that his face turned red several times, but seeing his evildoer constantly tapping and knocking, and considering that at this moment, Zhou Mu no longer had internal force body protection, he couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed.

"No need, I am a man!" Zhou Mu replied, turning back with a smile at Gu Changsheng.

Even though Zhou Mu wore a half-mask, Gu Changsheng hurriedly said that in the instant Zhou Mu turned and smiled, there was a feeling of brightness as if flowers bloomed all around, dazzling the eyes.

"Ahem..." It took a while before Gu Changsheng regained his senses from Zhou Mu’s smile, patting his own blushing face, secretly reminding himself not to be so defenseless. It’s just the evildoer’s smile, isn’t it? Having seen it many times, one should get used to it, just like it’s cabbages by the roadside...

But still, the evildoer’s smile is truly quite beguiling!

Isn’t it exceptionally alluring?

"So what if you’re a man? You’re not Vajra Indestructibility!" Gu Changsheng stepped forward, looking at his evildoer holding the knife, his palm a bit red, his heart ached, and he anxiously said, "Let me do it, you take a break!"

"No need, if you get tired, I will be distressed!" Zhou Mu freed his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

Gu Changsheng suddenly felt the temperature on his face rise again, burning hot.

Seeing a piece of Luminous Pearl being handed over by his evildoer, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a bit regretful. Now that they both lost their internal force, the staircase steps were made of solid iron, and it was very difficult to dig out the Luminous Pearls bare-handed. But seeing his evildoer’s hands turning red, Gu Changsheng was truly heartbroken!

So, for the first time, Gu Changsheng, who always valued treasures as life, hesitated!

He reached out, grabbed Zhou Mu’s hand again, shook his head seriously, and said, "Evildoer, let’s not dig out these Luminous Pearls!"

"Huh?" Zhou Mu quirked an almost invisible eyebrow, "Why?"

"Well, we’ve already looted all the burial goods on the second layer, if we don’t even spare these Luminous Pearls, Ta You would cry!" Gu Changsheng thought for a bit, refusing to admit he felt sorry for his evildoer.

"I feel that Ta You does need to be taught a lesson, you should be happy to see it happen." Zhou Mu said, thinking a bit before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng choked. Fine, her evildoer knows her too well, almost like an intestinal worm inside her gut; this excuse clearly doesn’t convince him!

"Well, if we tear down all the Luminous Pearls, future climbers of the tower won’t see the steps in the pitch-black darkness, and if they fall and die, wouldn’t the blame fall on us? I didn’t kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me... So, let’s not dig them!" Gu Changsheng pondered, then spoke again.

Now, Zhou Mu’s expression slightly changed, looking at his little woman up and down, a deep and dark voice rising, "I did not know when my love became so benevolent?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.

Alright then!

From start to finish, she was never a benevolent person, being thoughtful of others was never her thing!

But why does it feel so uncomfortable coming from her evildoer’s mouth?

Gu Changsheng felt that the image he held in his evildoer’s heart was too negative, right?

Actually, she originally wanted to be a picturesque beauty...

It just seems she strayed quite far...

As Gu Changsheng was contemplating with a dark face, Zhou Mu raised his hand, playfully rubbing Gu Changsheng’s little head, and said, "Alright, no need to worry, I’m fine, I still need to dig out these Luminous Pearls to let our children play with! You’re too close, it distracts me, how about staying behind?"

Still lost in her thoughts about the image she held in Zhou Mu’s heart, Gu Changsheng instinctively retreated a few steps upon hearing her evildoer’s words, without fully hearing what Zhou Mu said.

Zhou Mu shook his head, smiled indulgently, bent down again, and resumed digging out Luminous Pearls.

I have to admit, Ta You’s Star Innate Tower is truly eye-opening; such uniformly sized and colored Luminous Pearls, even Zhou Mu was seeing for the first time. Quickly, the spiral staircase had a small half dug out, and the Luminous Pearls filled half a burlap bag!

Gu Changsheng returned to Yuan Bao’s side, completely forgetting about feeling sorry for Zhou Mu, instead brooding over her image issue, and couldn’t help but tug at Yuan Bao asking, "Er Que, am I not at all benevolent?"

Suddenly asked this question, Yuan Bao was immediately horrified.

This question is tricky to answer!

His lady, kindness and such, don’t seem to match at all!

But then, how should he answer? Frankly?

Stop making a fuss!

If he spoke straightforwardly, his wife would surely give him a good beating. Yuan Bao had enough self-awareness for that!

Thinking it over, Yuan Bao carefully organized his words and then cautiously spoke, "Well, compared to those White Lotuses, my wife indeed isn’t that virtuous. But regardless of how nice a White Lotus may be, my master doesn’t like them..."

Is there anything wrong with this answer?

Nothing wrong, right?

"Slap!"

However, the next instant, Gu Changsheng slapped the top of Yuan Bao’s head in anger, saying, "Damn it, how dare you compare me to a White Lotus! Am I something a White Lotus could compare to?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao was instantly brought to tears.

He thought so, this question is really delicate and hard to answer, right?

With tears in his eyes, Yuan Bao wisely shut his mouth!

Gu Changsheng turned to Shi Wujue, her gaze piercing, "Shi Wujue, do you think I’m not virtuous enough?"

Seeing his wife shifting her target, Yuan Bao immediately felt relieved and looked at Shi Wujue with a gloating expression.

Go ahead, answer! I want to see how you respond!

Under Gu Changsheng’s expectant gaze, Shi Wujue’s white hair fluttered, his brows raised slightly as he ignored Yuan Bao’s gloating and calmly said, "Can virtue be eaten?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes lit up, and she gave Shi Wujue a friendly slap on the shoulder, immediately saying, "I said so, you’re indeed one of us! Virtue and such nonsense cannot be eaten; you’ve spoken well!"

Hearing this, Yuan Bao was instantly brought to tears!

My lady, is this the answer you wanted? Are you sure?

If this is the answer you wanted, why were you so tangled up just now?

It is just...

Yuan Bao no longer knew what to say!

Shi Wujue coughed lightly, a bit flushed from being slapped by Gu Changsheng; his breathtakingly beautiful face slightly darkened!

Honestly, he didn’t want to be not virtuous in Gu Changsheng’s heart!

But, apparently, it seems he wasn’t that virtuous, to begin with...

Shi Wujue’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the tall figure busy on the stairs; his eyes darkened. After all, the one surnamed Zhou wasn’t virtuous either!

Among those present, who could be considered truly virtuous?

"A thief asking about virtue? This is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard!" The Holy Envoy Child beside them couldn’t hold back anymore and said angrily with his little face puffed, "You’ve almost scraped all the Luminous Pearls off the stairs, and you dare say you’re virtuous? I’ve never seen such a petty thief like you!"

"Haven’t you heard that a thief doesn’t go empty-handed?" Gu Changsheng raised her eyebrow and said upon hearing this.

"You’ve already plundered the burial items from the Treasure Pavilion, how are you empty-handed? But taking even the illuminating Luminous Pearls is too much!" The Holy Envoy Child said immediately in response.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng glanced around, snorted, and said energetically, "Kid, believe me, if those Ever-bright Lanterns weren’t only found in tomb chambers, I wouldn’t let them go either!"

Damn it, who said she was strip-mining?

She didn’t leave nothing behind! At least she left those Ever-bright Lanterns, right?

It’s not completely dark here; it’s just the staircase that turned really dark after losing the Luminous Pearls!

"You! You! You..." The Holy Envoy Child, upon hearing this, was so angry that he didn’t know what to say.

He suddenly felt that the Holy Master allowing this woman into the tower was a mistake. Everywhere she went was stripped clean; would their Star Innate Tower be looted clean?

However, thinking about the remaining seven layers of the Star Innate Tower, the Holy Envoy Child was relieved. Even if this woman leaves nothing behind, she couldn’t carry everything away, and it’s still questionable if she can even escape with what she’s already looted!

Gu Changsheng noted the expression on the Holy Envoy Child’s face and suddenly became thoughtful with her phoenix eyes!

Judging by the kid’s reaction, it seemed like she wouldn’t gain anything from the remaining seven layers of the Star Innate Tower...

Ascending the spiral staircase stripped of Luminous Pearls led to the Third Layer of the Star Innate Tower; what awaited them in there?
