Chapter 1858 - 1452: Three Days, Patience Exhausted!

Shi Wujue was rendered speechless by Gu Changsheng’s words!

He truly couldn’t understand what on earth was inside this woman’s head. She could say anything, yet always had an air of self-righteousness!

Male or female?

Do people get separated into these categories?

Shi Wujue felt his personality was under a devastating assault, but he was helpless against Gu Changsheng!

Shi Wujue fell silent, and Gu Changsheng felt a sense of fulfillment, giving him a disdainful glance before waving her hand and heading back to wait for the meal!

She really knew nothing about chess. If she had known even a little, she wouldn’t just be sitting there staring blankly. This matter could only be left to Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue!

It had to be said that Gu Changsheng was placing her hopes on Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, just as Diluo Han and about a hundred others were, which in this respect, put them on the same level as Gu Changsheng, because as rough people, they were also not skilled in this black-and-white art!

So, when the aroma of Gu Changsheng’s food wafted over, Diluo Han and the others could only stare blankly!

Not to mention how fierce this woman was, even a cooked vegetable leaf could kill stealthily. Moreover, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue were still carrying their hopes of cracking this Ancient Wilderness Remnant Chess!

Therefore, even if there was a need to cause trouble, this was definitely not the time!

What’s more, even if they caused trouble, they might not even win!

Diluo Han and the others felt very frustrated, unprecedentedly so, especially when they got those dry, withered pancakes, their resentment towards the Star Innate Tower soared like never before!

No comparison, no harm!

Compared to Gu Changsheng and the others’ luxurious feast, they were gnawing on these dry, withered pancakes, which were really akin to a beggar’s fare!

Protest against the Star Innate Tower?

Come on, stop kidding!

Holy Master Ta You isn’t someone to mess with easily. Forget protesting; if he’s dissatisfied, you’ll be gone without a trace in no time!

Besides, how many people in the Star Innate Tower have really seen Ta You?

He is truly a dragon glimpsed but never fully seen. Since birth, he’s been known worldwide, but those who have actually seen him are few and far between. Because of his innate abilities and his mystery, people fear Ta You even more!

"Xiao Er Que, this lamb is overcooked. If you cook it any longer, it’ll be too tough to chew!"

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue paused their study of the remnant chess and gathered around to eat, as Gu Changsheng complained while holding a piece of lamb, looking discontented.

Gu Changsheng is very picky about her food, pursuing a level of life quality that’s exceptionally high. Added to her long-standing pampered lifestyle, of course, she has some standards!

Yuan Bao really overcooked this lamb!

However, hearing his wife complain, Yuan Bao immediately felt wronged and said timidly, "Wife, it’s not my fault, blame him. The cook you hired lacks skill. He doesn’t know how to control the heat, wasting so much charcoal; it’s no wonder the food’s overcooked!"

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately glanced over at Qiwowen Du, full of helplessness!

Why, oh why, did she inexplicably owe this guy a favor?

Owing him a favor and not tossing him out to be gawked at seems inappropriate, but sheltering him seems even more troublesome. She’s not in the habit of keeping useless people around, but Qiwowen Du is a bonafide young noble, good at eating, bad at doing!

And Qiwowen Du has two subordinates. Even if Qiwowen Du is useless, if his subordinates had some skills, that would be fine!

But sorry, apart from watching everyone with suspicion, the only other thing those two can do is eat!

Isn’t that enough to make Gu Changsheng extremely resentful?

"I must have been out of my mind to save you all! Wouldn’t it have been better if they had besieged this golden boy to death? Now I’m stuck with three eaters who can’t do anything else. You all are truly useless, eating for nothing!" Gu Changsheng looked at Qiwowen Du with utter disdain, and it was as obvious as it could be.

"Insolence!" The sturdy guard shouted low upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words.

"I can be even more insolent!" Gu Changsheng reacted with a roll of her eyes, full of contempt, "Fiery Qiwowen Du, warn your subordinates not to flaunt their Nomadic tribe Young Master arrogance before me. Or do you believe I won’t chop you all up for oil?"

"How dare you!" The guard became instantly red with anger upon hearing this.

"My patience is limited, you can try me if you dare!" Gu Changsheng raised an eyebrow with a face full of displeasure, then lifted a foot and kicked the guard out, "Damn it, eating for free and still have attitude, get lost! Today you’re just eating biscuits, no meat for you!"

"You..." The guard was very annoyed.

"Alright! At least they provided us shelter, how can you not know gratitude?" Qiwowen Du lifted his head from the food, warning his subordinates with a stern look and saying in a low voice, "If you cause the Young Master to end up eating biscuits with you, believe it or not, I’ll finish you off?"

"Young Master..." The guard was rendered speechless.

But their Young Master was no longer looking at him, instead gazing eagerly at Gu Changsheng, speaking ingratiatingly, "Wife, taste this, this dish is cooked well, not any worse than those outside chefs!"

"Of course, don’t you know who cooked it? I’ve eaten all sorts of delicacies with Xiao Leizi!" Yuan Bao, upon hearing this, immediately puffed up with pride.

"Yes, yes, Er Que is a great cook!" Qiwowen Du nodded quickly.

"Who are you calling Er Que?" Yuan Bao glared upon hearing this nickname.

"You, doesn’t your wife always call you Er Que?"

"My wife can call me that, but you can’t! Is that a nickname you think you can use?" Yuan Bao put his hands on his hips, yet his waist, as always, remained somewhat blurry.

"Then what should I call you?" Qiwowen Du shrugged.

Yuan Bao blinked his big eyes, suddenly at a loss for words!

He couldn’t possibly say his own name?

Looking at his own wife’s demeanor, it seemed she didn’t want to reveal her identity for now. Ruining his wife’s plans would be asking for trouble, and Yuan Bao wasn’t stupid enough to do that!

Listening to their back-and-forth, Gu Changsheng’s expression slowly relaxed as she glanced at Zhou Mu, who was continuously serving her food, and murmured, "Evildoer, is that remnant chess really hard to solve?"

"It’s ever-changing, not easy to crack!" Zhou Mu nodded upon hearing this, his face that resembled a divine being filled with a grave expression.

This was a war without gunpowder.

If they couldn’t solve the Ancient Wilderness Remnant Chess, they would be stuck on the Star Innate Tower’s Third Layer, unable to move forward!

Gu Changsheng was quite dissatisfied with this, but seeing her own evildoer’s furrowed brows, she felt a bit sorry and couldn’t help but comfort, "Don’t worry, we can delay for a bit, nothing should happen outside!"

Especially with Qiwowen Du still beside them, in a place where various countries intersected, there shouldn’t be any trouble, Gu Changsheng was quite at ease about this!

"Alright!" Zhou Mu nodded, giving his little woman a faint smile.

Gu Changsheng smiled back, and the group continued to eat heartily.

Meanwhile, Diluo Han and the crowd watching them felt like crying. The tempting aroma of food was simply criminal. For those who hadn’t smelled the scent of meat in many days, it was a deadly temptation!

However, they dared not do anything, which was truly heart-wrenching!

In the Star Innate Tower, aside from the stars always hanging at the tower’s top, there was no concept of time changing day and night. Gu Changsheng could only estimate time by her stomach; when she got hungry, she’d cook. And when it wasn’t their time to start a fire and cook, Diluo Han and about a hundred others would just stare at their dry biscuits, eyes burning, looking quite sorrowful. They even began to envy Qiwowen Du, who was under Gu Changsheng’s ’enslaved’ care!

Qiwowen Du’s treatment was excellent, with abundant food and drink, following Gu Changsheng meant enjoying the best of both worlds!

Of course, some had courageously recommended themselves, but they were all blocked by Gu Changsheng’s question, asking if they were the Young Master of any tribe!

The blow was substantial, really leaving no room for mercy!

At first, being watched by so many eager eyes made Gu Changsheng quite uncomfortable, often losing her temper twice. But as time went on, she gradually got used to it; so what if they were watching?

With a calm mind, she constantly self-hypnotized herself, turning Diluo Han and his crowd into mere cabbages in her eyes, completely ignoring them!

However, Gu Changsheng soon could not maintain this composure, because, as time went on and after nine meals, she roughly estimated about three days had passed. Yet, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, engrossed in studying the Ancient Wilderness Remnant Chess, were frowning more and more, their spirits declining, still finding no breakthrough!

Three days were enough to break Gu Changsheng, whose patience wasn’t great!

So, once she felt hungry again, Gu Changsheng eyed their remaining provisions. Damn it, because of Qiwowen Du, along with two of his tag-alongs, the provisions were depleting quickly; they were only on the Star Innate Tower’s Third Layer, with six more layers to go. If this dragged on, Gu Changsheng wasn’t worried about running out of time, but she was indeed afraid of running out of supplies!

Thus, really not wanting to eat those dry, nearly moldy biscuits, Gu Changsheng couldn’t sit still any longer. She slapped the ground with both hands and stood up with a sullen face...
