Chapter 2049: Chapter 1621: Camping in the Mountains, Wounds Temporarily Eased

Chapter 17

“Yes, the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms rises from the ground; it’s easy to get past if you say it’s easy, hard if you say it’s hard. Let’s wait until dawn tomorrow before continuing. If all goes well, we’ll be five or six days ahead of Jin Luoyi and the others when we reach the Forbidden Zone, so there’s no rush.” Baby Jin Bao nodded solemnly, but in an instant, his tone shifted, and the little figure became pitiful, saying, “Besides, I’m really tired. I need to sleep…”

“…” Gu Changsheng was truly at a loss for words with Baby Jin Bao’s demeanor. He turned to glance at his own evildoer and saw that his expression was still fine. But looking at Shi Wujue and Youngster Linchuan, there was a trace of fatigue on their faces, so he could only tacitly agree…

The group settled to rest beneath several large trees. Gu Changsheng noticed Yuan Bao, who was without a mount, showing a hint of fatigue. Knowing that his Xiao Er Que was the weakest in cultivation among everyone but Jin Linchuan, climbing the mountains must be tiring for her. Feeling a bit sorry for her, he put Baby Jin Bao down and walked over to Yuan Bao. He took over the bag she was about to open and gently said, “Yuan Bao, take a break first. I’ll handle this…”

Although Gu Changsheng wasn’t someone who insisted on doing everything personally, he wasn’t someone accustomed to being waited upon either. He knew what needed to be prepared and done when camping in the wilderness!

“Lady?” Yuan Bao seemed a bit stunned upon hearing this, but soon understood that his lady was feeling sorry for him after he had climbed the way with them!

“No need, no need! How can my lady do these tasks? I can handle it! I’m fine!” In Yuan Bao’s eyes, his lady and master were meant to be exalted and served, not to do chores and wait on others.

“Trust me, I can do this better than you! Have you forgotten my Dark Night Army? I personally taught them their marching strategies in the mountains!” Gu Changsheng smiled at Yuan Bao and started to busy himself without saying more.

The feeling of riding a python wasn’t great, but he had to admit that his Soul-Devouring Python provided some comfort. At least, after riding for so long, Gu Changsheng didn’t feel even a bit uncomfortable, and her spirit, even with a Divine Soul Injury, didn’t seem too diminished…

Yuan Bao saw that his lady was determined to work, so he could only watch helplessly from the side, fearing she might not manage…

In contrast, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue stood beside the Soul-Devouring Python, looking at a package hanging from its neck while silently exchanging glances…

Eventually, Shi Wujue reached out, opened the package, and took out a simple lamp with a gentle glow…

“Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp…” Shi Wujue admired the lamp, his narrow eyes lingering on the flickering wick, his face full of admiration, “Indeed, the world’s divine weapons originate from Qilian. Holding this lamp brings calm and peace of mind. No wonder it has the miraculous effect of healing Divine Soul Injuries…”

“It’s just a pity…” Shi Wujue’s words fell, and Zhou Mu shook his head, a face resembling a God Emperor filled with worry, “It can only alleviate the impact of the Divine Soul Injury on Changsheng, not completely heal it…”

After observing this day, keeping constant watch on Gu Changsheng’s condition, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue had realized that with the Seven Apertures Exquisite Lamp by her side, Gu Changsheng’s spirit had improved a lot, seemingly normal, but the injury hadn’t disappeared…

Just as Jiu Yu mentioned, for external Divine Soul Injuries, the lamp truly doesn’t have healing effects. However, as a weapon capable of healing usual Divine Soul Injuries, it can still alleviate the impacts on Gu Changsheng…

This gave the initially hopeless Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue a sliver of joy, but seeing Gu Changsheng bustling around setting up camp, they eagerly wished for her recovery…

The person who always wore a smile, carefree with laughter and anger, unconstrained, Gu Changsheng…

“Yuan Bao? So your name is Yuan Bao…” Jin Linchuan stood behind Yuan Bao, watching the woman methodically arranging the camp, muttering.

“Yes, my name is Yuan Bao.” Yuan Bao turned around at the sound, flashing a bright smile at Jin Linchuan.

“I heard about a person supposedly the first attendant beside Crown Prince Mu of Great Zhou and Southern Emperor Changsheng. His name is also Yuan Bao. Isn’t this quite a coincidence?” Jin Linchuan studied Yuan Bao intently, pretending to speak casually.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao’s smile grew even wider…

This youngster certainly was a cautious person…

Upon hearing her master’s royal title and learning her name was Yuan Bao, knowing that most in their group were Masters of the Transformative Realm, he could still calmly ask such a question. Yuan Bao truly didn’t know how to describe this youngster…

He was obviously overly cautious, yet meticulous in thought…

“You know well whether this is a coincidence, don’t you? Youngster?” Yuan Bao let Jin Linchuan observe, her plump face beaming with a smile, speaking bright and lively, “I am the Yuan Bao you mentioned, and the dark-skinned woman before you is the exalted presence you have in mind…”

With that, Yuan Bao chuckled and winked, saying, “How does it feel to see the most revered woman in the world busy making soup for you? Does this world seem magical?”

After finishing this sentence, Yuan Bao didn’t bother with Jin Linchuan’s reaction and turned to head over to his lady, “Lady, let me get the fire started for you…”

“Alright!” Gu Changsheng responded. In fact, it had been a long time since she personally cooked or prepared meals. Occasionally doing it, Gu Changsheng found a nostalgic feeling in the self-sufficient satisfaction.

What is abundant in the mountains? Game animals!

In the mountains, as long as you have some skill, you certainly won’t go hungry!

Especially for a master like Gu Changsheng, catching a few mountain chickens was incredibly easy—practically effortless!

Jin Linchuan stared blankly at Gu Changsheng and his party, for a moment, there was an illusion of not knowing where he was…

Yuan Bao…

Southern Emperor…

Crown Prince Mu…

So, the other one must be the legendary Master of Linyuan City…

All of this, all of them, were like legends, yet they appeared so realistically in front of him…

Jin Linchuan finally understood why Yuan Bao said that this woman wouldn’t even bother to trouble him!

What kind of status does she have?

What kind of status do I have?

I’m afraid I don’t even have the qualification to carry her shoes, to her, I’m just a trivial passer-by, how could she truly take notice of me?

She wouldn’t take notice, much less make things difficult!

“Hey! Youngster! You have time to stand there dumbfounded, but not to gather some dry branches to add to the fire? What are you daydreaming about all day? Paranoid of being persecuted? Let me tell you, not everyone in the world is out to get you!” Not far away, Gu Changsheng shouted at Jin Linchuan in a loud voice, “If you don’t want to go hungry, go do some work, you think you’re one of those two who’ve never dirtied their hands?”

As for my own evildoer…

Gu Changsheng could still clearly remember the disastrous consequences of their own evildoer’s cooking, she wasn’t expecting him to help at all!

She really feared that her own evildoer might set Divine Mount Qilian on fire, just like he burned the kitchens of those officials’ homes in the Capital City. If that were to happen, her sins would be grave!

As for Shi Wujue…

Gu Changsheng didn’t hold out hope either, at a glance, he didn’t look like someone who could cook!

So, doing it herself seemed to be the better option…

Those two lords, well, they were born noble, destined to have things ready-made, envied by others!

“Huh? Oh…” Jin Linchuan, stupefied by Gu Changsheng’s words, finally reacted and instinctively walked towards the nearby forest…

Southern Emperor…

Was she worried about me overthinking?

A woman of such a status, yet with such a meticulous and kind disposition…

For a moment, Youngster Linchuan felt a bit moved, and the originally bewildering adventure on Divine Mount Qilian, the obsession and worry about revenge, suddenly seemed manageable…

Camping out in the mountains naturally didn’t warrant much formality, but Gu Changsheng and his party still ate quite lavishly. After eating and drinking their fill, Gu Changsheng leaned against Zhou Mu to rest for a while. When she woke up, the previously dim surroundings had a slight hint of light…

Though the light was not very bright, mottled and variegated, it was still possible to judge that beyond the towering trees, daylight had probably arrived!

“Let’s set off, after we pass this mountain hollow and climb over the hill, we’ll reach the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms, which is the outer rim of the Forbidden Zone! This baby has passed through before, it’s a bit intimidating, but not life-threatening!” The baby Jin Bao stood at Gu Changsheng’s feet, urging.

“You’re the one who said we should rest, yet you’re also the one urging us to hurry!” Gu Changsheng stretched lazily in Zhou Mu’s arms, raising her hand to pat baby Jin Bao’s head, she finally stood up, tidied her clothes, and said, “Pack up, let’s set off again!”

This time when they entered the mountain, they traveled light, the only things they carried were a few blankets for camping and some eating utensils, so packing up was rather quick!

However, when Gu Changsheng and her party really crossed the mountain hollow, climbed the hill, and reached the Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms that baby Jin Bao mentioned, Gu Changsheng stood before the cliff, completely dumbfounded…

“Damn it! Is this what you call a bit intimidating but not dangerous Broken Cliff of Ten Thousand Fathoms? Baby Jin Bao, are you burning paper money at a grave, trying to fool ghosts here?”
