Chapter 2114 - 1680: There Is No Trouble in the World; Fools Bring It Upon Themselves!

She was looking for a way, a way to kill herself now that she was undying and unhurt, just to be prepared...

But there wasn’t any!

Those broken Divine Weapons couldn’t truly harm her!

Gu Changsheng looked down naively, glancing at her perfectly intact hand...

She really wished that she could maintain her innocence and not fall into madness...

However, nothing is absolute, who can say for sure about these matters?

She needed to ensure a way out for those around her before she possibly descended into madness, even if it meant they would have to kill her...

"Gu Changsheng, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so unwell?" Snake Piaopiao tilted her head, looking at Gu Changsheng with eyes full of concern.

"Nothing really, just a saying that popped into my mind, ’One man’s honey is another man’s poison...’"

This phrase, used to describe Gu Changsheng at this moment, couldn’t be more accurate!

Undying and unhurt, neither human nor god nor devil...

Now, she didn’t even know what she was...

"What honey and poison? Gu Changsheng, I think you humans really think too much! In life, when you’re content, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and when you’re upset, find a way to make yourself happy, am I right?" Snake Piaopiao said openly, slightly tilting her head.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, and after realizing it, burst into hearty laughter, laughing so much that she bent over. Only after catching her breath did she nod, saying, "You’re right! You’re absolutely right! The world is originally without troubles; it’s we foolish people who disturb ourselves! To think that I, Gu Changsheng, see less clearly than you, a Snake Spirit. In life’s highs, we should enjoy fully, and in our lows, find every way to still be happy—that’s what I should be doing! As for everything else, and the future, why worry until it arrives? After all, heaven always leaves a path, doesn’t it?"

"Yes, exactly!" Snake Piaopiao nodded in agreement, her small face full of pride, "Being human should be simpler. Like me, if you’re good to me, I’ll be even better to you—better than you can imagine. That way, we can always be together. You take me out, and I’ll see the world with you. I’ll do my best to protect you, keep you from harm, and prevent anyone from bullying you!"

"Alright! In the future, if anyone bullies me, you make sure to get back at them!" Gu Changsheng said, her face brightening with a smile that spread wider and wider, like a Spring Breeze caressing her whole being, leaving her in an exceedingly good mood.

Meanwhile, the Baby Jin Bao, held in Yuan Bao’s embrace, looked at Snake Piaopiao being so favored by Gu Changsheng and couldn’t help but twitch at his mouth corners, murmuring, "Same Spirit, why is she more favored? Is it because her chin is sharper than mine? Her chest bigger than mine?"

He was truly puzzled, for he was undeniably adorable, yet why didn’t Gu Changsheng like him as much as she liked Snake Piaopiao?

Snake Piaopiao even had an extra snake tail compared to him, clearly not an ordinary human, so why did she gain Gu Changsheng’s favor?

"Don’t worry, my family’s lady actually likes you very much too, otherwise, she wouldn’t let you stay by her side!" Yuan Bao comforted gently, patting Baby Jin Bao in his arms.

Yuan Bao understood very well how his own lady treated those around her!

His lady always treated everyone around her as family, never looking down on anyone. Now, she included a new trait: no matter if the person was truly human or not, they were treated equally!

"Or could it be because she’s a woman? Gu Changsheng actually likes women more?" Baby Jin Bao was still stuck on why he couldn’t capture Gu Changsheng’s affection.

"Uh... More accurately, regardless of gender, my lady is always a bit more lenient towards those who are beautiful!" Yuan Bao said, slightly sweating on his forehead.

As for his lady liking beauties, how should he put it?

His own master should know this very well!

Yuan Bao was genuinely grateful that his master was incredibly handsome, unparalleled in the world!

If not, who knows how many times his lady might have changed her love?

No, more precisely, had his master not been incredibly handsome, perhaps his lady wouldn’t have fallen for him at all, and there wouldn’t even be chances of changing affections!

Traveling together with companions was always better than adventuring alone; at the very least, it wasn’t lonely!

With laughter and chatter, they finally walked past the area scattered with broken Divine Weapons. As they reached the end of this floor, they slowly ascended the stairs, and their view widened once more...

However, just as they stood at the end of the stairs, Gu Changsheng, leading them, raised a hand to stop his companions, with brows tightly furrowed, saying seriously, "Be careful, there’s a strong smell of blood ahead. It seems like it’s from the Treasure Hunters who entered earlier!"

From the moment they entered the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, Gu Changsheng had discovered that this structure, which from the outside appeared like a carving on the cliffside, actually held vast secrets within. It was as if the whole mountain behind the cliff had been hollowed out to construct this Divine Weapon Forging Tower!

The end of the first floor led upwards to another level!

Now, they stood at the end of the stairs between the first and second floors, only a step away from the second level of the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, yet the smell of blood permeated the surroundings...
