Chapter 1882 - 1475: A Woman Bold Enough to Plunder Even the Gods!

Heaven knows that being able to stay behind is actually a kind of happiness!

Diluo Han hesitated for a moment but still carried the blood rabbit corpse on his shoulder and carefully spoke.

His words immediately garnered a lot of support from the crowd.

Exactly! They wanted to stay behind too, they didn’t want to go up and die!

"No way, you’re carrying things. Staying behind will make it difficult to navigate the staircase later. What if you fall?" Gu Changsheng shook his head without a second thought.

Are you kidding?

Soon, she would dig out the Luminous Pearls on the spiral staircase. Once those were removed, the entire staircase would be pitch black. She wouldn’t feel sorry if those porters fell, but the goods they were carrying were her treasures. There couldn’t be any mistakes!

"But... but we... we’re afraid to go up to the Fifth Level of the Star Innate Tower first!" Diluo Han was on the verge of tears, yet he mustered the courage to express his true feelings.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened in anger. She said with frustration, "Damn it, I asked you to go up and wait. Who told you to go in and open the door to the Fifth Level of the Star Innate Tower? Are you stupid?"

Is dying now addictive or something?

The Star Innate Tower clearly had deadly things; they had died once and hadn’t learned, still thinking of dying again?

Gu Changsheng didn’t know what awaited them in the higher Star Innate Tower levels, but she was sure Ta You’s targeting of their group was too strong. In Ta You’s eyes, their lives were probably negligible!

"You should go up and wait on the platform outside the tower door. Anyone who wants to go in and die is free to do so, but remember to unload your stuff first!" After thinking it over, Gu Changsheng spoke again.

Upon hearing this, Diluo Han and the others were filled with delight.

From Gu Changsheng’s words, they sensed she intended to fight alongside them and even protect them!

What a lucky thing to have such a fierce woman protecting them!

The porters, enslaved to carry goods, suddenly felt like they had embraced a bigshot’s leg!

"Okay! We’ll head up first!" Almost immediately, Diluo Han made the decision and took the lead in carrying a blood rabbit corpse up the spiral staircase.

Gu Changsheng watched Diluo Han’s movements carefully. Only when his foot unimpededly stepped onto the spiral staircase did she breathe a long sigh of relief!

Damn, the Gate of Life and Death had indeed opened!

Only in this layer of the Star Innate Tower are there no dead, so they can go up to the Fifth Level alive!

"Hey, you guys, go dig out those Luminous Pearls from the staircase for me!" Once all the goods carriers had ascended the Star Innate Tower, Gu Changsheng waved to the remaining dozen or so empty-handed men beside her, instructing them.

"Huh?" The remaining men were dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Dig out those Luminous Pearls?

This...

This...

"What are you gasping for? Hurry up! There’s still a burlap sack left over there; dig out the Luminous Pearls and pack them in the sack!" Gu Changsheng glared at them and rolled her eyes slightly.

On the spiral staircase above, Diluo Han and the others almost stumbled and nearly fell when they heard Gu Changsheng’s words...

Dig Luminous Pearls?

Dig out the Luminous Pearls used for lighting on the staircase?

They finally understood why Gu Changsheng asked them to go upstairs first!

She intended to dig out the Luminous Pearls, making the staircase hard to navigate...

It would really be hard to walk...

"Do you think the staircases on the layers below will be like now?"

"Probably very dark..."

Without the lighting from the Luminous Pearls, it’d be strange if the staircase wasn’t dark!

On the staircase, Diluo Han and the others whispered among themselves, feeling embarrassed. This really left no options for those who wished to follow!

"I was just wondering what’s packed in my burlap sack, now I don’t need to wonder anymore..." said one man with a twitching mouth.

"Why’s that?"

"There should be a Winding Path Plum Vase in my sack. I took that Plum Vase from the bookshelf in the Second Level of the Star Innate Tower, and now the curve of the Plum Vase is resting on my shoulder..."

"What do you mean..." The men on the staircase gasped, "The treasures in the Treasure Pavilion on the second level of the Star Innate Tower..."

"She doesn’t spare even the Luminous Pearls from the staircase; would she spare the Treasure Pavilion? I was wondering why they didn’t have that many burlap sacks initially, how could they keep increasing? Turns out they looted along the way..."

"Here is the Star Innate Tower..."

"..."

Everyone’s perception of Gu Changsheng’s ruthless behavior had reached an unprecedented height, making them more cautious and careful in their actions, while thinking in their hearts that this woman was exceptionally fierce, surpassing their definition of fierceness...

Robbing them? That’s nothing! They’re just humans!

She actually dared to loot even the Star Innate Tower!

Ta You, the owner of the Star Innate Tower, is like a god to them in Northern Mongolian!

There’s no balance without comparison!

Compared to Ta You, who even had his Luminous Pearl looted, Diluo Han and others felt more balanced than ever!

Gu Changsheng watched as Diluo Han and the others carried their belongings up the steps, observing the remaining dozen men knocking and banging on the staircase while tossing a Luminous Pearl in their hands. Half of her masked little face was full of smiles. Without the burden of sacks, she proudly said to those beside her, "How about it? Am I great or what? Food is settled, no more need for you to painstakingly carry sacks. Aren’t you happy? Cheerful? Elated?"

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue and others looked at the proud little woman before them and shook their heads unanimously, feeling speechless.

"Darling, enslaving them like this is no big deal, but later, if they find out your identity and spread what you did in the Star Innate Tower, then..." How will people evaluate you?

Yuan Bao rubbed his chubby hands in frustration, genuinely worried for the Historian of the Southern Country. With such a master, how could he write the record of the Southern Emperor’s daily life?

"Just don’t let them know! Keep your masks on and don’t take them off!" Gu Changsheng’s face changed slightly when she heard this, immediately turning around and sternly reminding.

In the Southern Country, there are still many people waiting for her to bring back her own ears!

If they find out what she did, it would definitely lead to days and nights of lectures, with her foster father Mr. Ban Shan and those old ministers around her...

Thinking about it, Gu Changsheng felt a headache, liver ache, and pain everywhere!

"No worries, you can say it was all my idea," Zhou Mu looked at the little woman before him, full of worry, raised his hand, rubbed her little head, and said dotingly.

"I wish..." Gu Changsheng heard this, looked up pitifully at her evildoer, eyes glistening, and said, "But will they believe it?"

This is a very depressing fact!

In the hearts of her subjects, their son-in-law has all kinds of goodness, while their Emperor has all kinds of flaws. Any outrageous event is done by their Emperor, and their son-in-law always gets implicated...

Although it’s a bit melancholic to say, Gu Changsheng didn’t want to admit it, but it’s the truth!

Her evildoer was steeped in Imperial Family upbringing, with an air of nobility, added to his aloof image, how would he stoop to do anything outrageous?

It’s precisely because of his goodness that she appears even inferior in comparison!

Alright...

She’s not a qualified Emperor!

Gu Changsheng fell into deep reflection...

"Well... I can’t help you!" Zhou Mu listened to his little woman’s words, chuckled lightly, then turned around and walked up the stairs.

Shi Wujue and others also shook their heads, showing expressions of hopelessness as they walked past Gu Changsheng...

"Hey! Do you have to be like this? I relieved you of your burden; shouldn’t you thank me? If you don’t thank me, that’s fine, but you’re gloating!" Gu Changsheng watched them pass in front of her, stomped her foot, and growled.

"If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have those burdens." Shi Wujue turned back and cruelly spoke the truth.

The stomping Gu Changsheng heard this and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

So, in their hearts, she’s the original sin!

Yet, she couldn’t argue, could she?

The food was hers to bring, the treasures were hers to loot... everything she did!

What could she say? What else could she say?

"Just you wait! I won’t let you laugh at me!" Gu Changsheng watched their departing backs, angrily followed behind them, and rushed up the winding staircase.

The speed at which a dozen men dug for Luminous Pearl was noticeably faster than Zhou Mu alone; after all, there’s strength in numbers, right?

The group picked up the Luminous Pearls and ascended the steps.

"Darling, you say, the staircase has been wrecked by us into pitch black mess; what do we do when we go back?" Yuan Bao who was walking in front turned back worriedly and asked.

"Are you stupid? We have Luminous Pearls!" Gu Changsheng heard this and immediately rolled her eyes, "Besides, once I meet that Ta You guy, and rip him apart, question him about the shortcut to the lower levels of the Star Innate Tower, why would we need to climb down layer by layer?"

"Darling, you’re too smart!" Yuan Bao heard this and immediately nodded in agreement, though the goal of ripping Ta You apart might be difficult to achieve, as Ta You seemed to be very skilled!

On the platform at the top of the tower, Diluo Han and others craned their necks in anticipation. Finally, after the spiral staircase below turned completely black, Gu Changsheng’s group came up.

Facing the closed door of the Fifth Level of the Star Innate Tower, Gu Changsheng, her evildoer, and Shi Wujue looked at each other, all with a solemn expression...
