Chapter 2111 - 1678: A Snake Joins the Journey, Entering the Tower!

Watching the people continuously pour into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, Gu Changsheng’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch slightly!

After doing thankless tasks for so long, Gu Changsheng has somewhat summarized her experiences: such matters should be done as little as possible, just like now!

Both she and those Treasure Hunters who flock into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower know well that there might be dangers waiting for them in this long-sealed tower. However, driven by interests, some people overlook this fact...

"Let’s wait a bit longer; it’s been sealed for too long, and the air isn’t circulating. We’ll enter afterward!" Gu Changsheng sighed silently and pondered aloud. Then, she turned and looked at Snake Piaopiao, who was immersed in the joy of gaining freedom. After thinking for a moment, she walked over and gently patted Snake Piaopiao’s shoulder, saying, "The Divine Weapon Forging Tower has opened; your mission has ended. What are your plans next?"

Gu Changsheng paused here and continued, "I promised you that I’d make you more beautiful, and as long as you want, I, Gu Changsheng, will not break my word. I am determined to enter the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, as it contains something I’m looking for. If you want me to fulfill my promise, you can choose to wait here for me to come out, or join us in going inside. Of course, if you don’t want me to fulfill my promise, you can also choose to leave. Snake Spirit Disease, you’re really free!"

While speaking, Gu Changsheng took out a Porcelain Vial from her bosom and placed it in Snake Piaopiao’s hand, saying, "This is Qibai Tender Skin Cream. You’ve stayed here for years, so your skin might be a bit dull; this can help improve it!"

With that, Gu Changsheng signaled Yuan Bao to take out paper and pen from her bag and quickly wrote down a prescription to hand to Snake Piaopiao, saying slowly, "This is the recipe for Qibai Tender Skin Cream. You can mix it yourself or find someone knowledgeable in medicine to help you prepare it. Although it can’t change your current appearance, it can make you radiant! Snake Piaopiao, you are really free now, and the choice of where to go next is entirely up to you!"

While speaking, Gu Changsheng gave a smile to Snake Piaopiao.

She couldn’t imagine how Snake Piaopiao, alone, could guard the Divine Weapon Forging Tower and endure endless ages of loneliness. It must be a deeply heart-wrenching experience...

"Can I follow you?" Snake Piaopiao lowered her head and gazed at the potion and prescription that suddenly appeared in her hand. A hint of confusion flashed across her sharp little face as she slowly spoke, "I am a Snake Spirit, and although I don’t eat people, it’s still difficult for people in the outside world to accept a being like me... Gu Changsheng, my mission is complete; I’m truly free, but I don’t know where to go from here. Beyond this once-tightly shut tower door, what else is there for me in my life, where else can I go..."

Gu Changsheng was stunned by her words, not expecting Snake Piaopiao to speak that way...

But upon reflection, it makes sense. Among humans, there’s a saying: "Those who are not of our kind inevitably have a different mind." With Snake Piaopiao’s appearance, half-human, half-snake, as soon as she steps outside, she might be captured as a monster...

Gu Changsheng hopes Snake Piaopiao doesn’t experience such a life...

"Gu Changsheng, can I follow you? I know you don’t want me to eat people; I can live without eating, I’ve endured endless years of hunger, and I can continue to endure. But I want to find people who don’t reject my existence, not looking at me with strange or fearful eyes, to live together..." Upon saying this, Snake Piaopiao slowly lowered her head to look at her snake tail...

She is a Snake Spirit; the Deity gave her a mission, extraordinary abilities, this physique, and thoughts...

But after all, she is a Snake Spirit; even if she can take a human form, she is not a human!

How can she exist in the outside world without being rejected?

She doesn’t know!

"If... you wish, then just stay by my side!" Gu Changsheng pondered for a moment and nodded, "I have many Gu insects around me, adding one more like you shouldn’t matter. Those around me are accustomed to accepting various people and situations; slowly, they might accept you too..."

However, Snake Piaopiao’s appearance is indeed a bit unconventional...

Thinking about her own people’s reactions upon seeing Snake Piaopiao, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but lift her hand to rub her forehead, feeling a headache...

They might think she’s been bewitched by a Snake Spirit!

However, after spending most of the day together, Gu Changsheng has come to see that Snake Piaopiao isn’t bad, just a little like Snake Spirit Disease!

"Really? I can follow you? You won’t dislike me?" Snake Piaopiao heard this and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"Really." Gu Changsheng nodded.

Does she have a choice?

After all, she still owes Snake Piaopiao a promise, doesn’t she?

"That’s great, I don’t have to wander aimlessly anymore, I have a place to go, and someone to accompany me!" Having received Gu Changsheng’s promise, Snake Piaopiao spun her tail excitedly, so thrilled that she didn’t know what to do.

For a person, a life of blindness and lack of purpose is the beginning of loneliness.

Snake Piaopiao had been lonely for too long, but at this moment, she still had a mission. Now that the mission had ended, she truly found herself in bewilderment. Luckily, now Gu Changsheng promised her, he would take her along...

Her future seemed to suddenly have a goal once again...

And that was to follow Gu Changsheng, to be with this human Gu Changsheng...

Finally, as Gu Changsheng conversed with those around him, while Shi Wujue and Fufeng Tianlan confronted each other, those Treasure Hunters had already rushed into the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, even Jin Luoyi, fearing to be left behind and accountable to Gu Changsheng, followed them inside...

"Snake Spirit Disease, the Divine Weapon Forging Tower is very dangerous. You’ve just gained freedom, feel free to look around, there’s no need to venture with us!" While signaling Yuan Bao to tidy up their belongings, Gu Changsheng said to Snake Piaopiao.

Everyone had gone in, leaving only them. If they delayed any longer, they too would have to go inside!

But, with Ta You’s Star Innate Tower ahead, Gu Changsheng instinctively felt that this Divine Weapon Forging Tower was even more daunting compared to the Star Innate Tower, and Gu Changsheng didn’t want to take Snake Piaopiao into danger!

She had been guarding here for endless years, it was enough already!

"No! I want to go in and see, I want to see what exactly is in the Divine Weapon Forging Tower that the Deity had me guard for endless years, waiting for the arrival of someone, something that is so important to the Deity, worthy of my endless guardianship!" Snake Piaopiao shook her head and said, "I must know what I have been guarding, or these endless years would have been in vain?"

Snake Piaopiao no longer referred to herself as this snake. Since Gu Changsheng was willing to take her, before she cultivates a real human body, she must get used to living as a human...

"I see... That’s fine, but you have to behave, don’t act recklessly, avoid any danger, remember, follow behind me!" Hearing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t think of another reason to refuse, so he had to agree.

Meanwhile, Yuan Bao had already packed up their belongings, and Gu Changsheng and his group couldn’t help turning their heads, looking toward Shi Wujue...

The appearance of Fufeng Tianlan had them instinctively make room, allowing the two to communicate better. At this moment, although they didn’t know to what extent Shi Wujue and his fiancée had communicated, judging by their intense glances, it didn’t seem very friendly...

"Shi Wujue, you..." Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, still called out, "The Divine Weapon Forging Tower is dangerous, your health... Perhaps you and your fiancée should wait for us outside?"

Shi Wujue’s health was indeed deteriorating, his energy compared to before was further diminished, and Gu Changsheng actually didn’t want him to take risks.

"No need, I, the City Lord, will go with you all, and she..." Shi Wujue replied with a shake of his head, then turned to look at Fufeng Tianlan beside him, and said in a deep voice, "She will naturally go with us as well!"

This sentence had already made the decision for Fufeng Tianlan.

"Hmph!" Fufeng Tianlan snorted coldly, but thinking about it, since the gates of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower had opened, and Gu Changsheng was the one chosen by fate, perhaps only she could find what they were looking for!

Thus, by staying with Gu Changsheng, they could quickly find what they needed and reap the rewards without effort!

As such, Fufeng Tianlan said no more, allowing Shi Wujue to make the decision!

With Fufeng Tianlan’s inclusion, Gu Changsheng’s group immediately grew by three people, Fufeng Tianlan and her two subordinates!

Gu Changsheng glanced at the two unsmiling subordinates behind Fufeng Tianlan, and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. In this regard, Shi Wujue and his fiancée had similar unusual habits in employing people; those around them were taciturn, with an unapproachable aura, making them seem very unwelcoming!

With everything packed and in order, Gu Changsheng and the group arrived at the door of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower. This wide-open tower door appeared abruptly on the steep cliff, just like an enormous mural suddenly missing a piece, appearing extremely abrupt, yet so real!

"Why is there no sound from inside at all? They’ve been in for quite a while, could they have encountered some mishap?"
