Chapter 2041: Chapter 1614: Employer, Melancholic Pretty Boy!

Even the pitiable sight of Baby Jin Bao crying was enough to make Yong Shu, who was leading the way, turn back and offer some comfort, while giving a reproachful glance at Gu Changsheng, the obvious culprit…

Gu Changsheng received Yong Shu’s reproachful gaze, snorted, and didn’t take it to heart at all!

Seriously, if I dared to challenge even your master, why would I be afraid of you, his apprentice sent to follow me?

Besides, Gu Changsheng really didn’t have much sympathy for Baby Jin Bao. Just think, as a person, even if one has surpassed the Transformative Realm, they’re still human. Gu Changsheng genuinely felt envy and jealousy towards Baby Jin Bao, this bizarre creature born with unimaginable wealth, holding boundless treasures and endless life and also able to freely choose its gender!

To be honest, there aren’t many beings in this world that could make Gu Changsheng feel such envy and jealousy!

Fortunately, Baby Jin Bao isn’t human; he’s just a Spirit weirdly resembling a human. Otherwise, Gu Changsheng would feel even more unfairly disadvantaged in his heart!

Adding on Baby Jin Bao’s endless muttering day and night, Gu Changsheng felt that giving Baby Jin Bao such a silent loss was incredibly satisfying, like a sweet revenge!

“Come on, come on, we need to find our employer quickly and head into the mountain promptly!”

Waving a claw and urging the group, Gu Changsheng happily walked forward.

Dang! This Smelting City can’t be lingered in any longer. With such a big mess created—even if the blame was shifted to Baby Jin Bao—the elders of Smelting City, by thinking a little, would know that Yong Qing recognizes me and that I must be at the Mercenary Alliance, and among the recent arrivals there, we’re probably the only noticeable group!

If we don’t leave now, are we waiting to be caught by the elders of Smelting City?

Through history, if you cause trouble, you gotta make a run for it, and the faster, the better!

Walking forward briskly, Gu Changsheng didn’t notice that this time, while her Divine Soul was attached to the Phantom, her body didn’t feel any discomfort at all; in fact, she felt much more relaxed than in the past few days…

Gu Changsheng attributed this to having obtained the Top Three Divine Weapons, feeling that her good mood was the reason, not thinking of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp at all, as Jiu Yu, the lamp’s creator, had already informed her that the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp was ineffective against Gu Changsheng’s Divine Soul Injury!

The group’s pace wasn’t particularly fast nor particularly slow; after winding through the narrow, convoluted alleys of Smelting City, they saved a lot of time and finally arrived at Smelting City’s boundary at noon – the final checkpoint to the depths of Divine Mount Qilian. Upon the dozens of zhang high towers, rows of iron-armored soldiers stood spirited and stern, far more solemn than the empty City Gate at the entrance of Smelting City!

And at the checkpoint out of the city, people were bustling and chatting; many were in loose groups or teams, all lining up like a dragon at the city gate, waiting for the exit inspection to enter the mountains, which required paying the Smelting Currency!

“This time of year is the best to enter the mountain, soon it will be too cold, so the number of people entering the mountain has increased a bit. You wait here in line, I have already informed your employer; he’s in the tavern next door, I’ll go fetch him!” Yong Shu, pointing to the long line at the city exit, smiled as he explained, then walked towards the tavern to look for the employer of Gu Changsheng’s group.

Gu Changsheng had no objection to Yong Shu’s arrangement, as long as it didn’t delay her escape from the scene!

“Honey, what kind of person do you think our employer might be?” Standing at the end of the line, Yuan Bao, holding Baby Jin Bao like a qualified babysitter, moved a little closer to his wife with a curious face, and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately rolled her eyes dramatically and mumbled, “What kind of person could it be? Didn’t Alliance Leader Yong Qing say it was just a young boy, alone, daring to venture into Divine Mount Qilian, so he must have some courage!”
