Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1123 - 105: Mutation
The members of the cult, exterminated easily, had a divine item on them, which Xu Shu really liked.
But now, inexplicably, this divine item has disappeared, leaving Xu Shu quite unhappy.
"It’s strange, I remember clearly, I put it in the storage bag, it can’t be lost."
Xu Shu frowned, turned the space inside the lace upside down, took out everything one by one and laid it on the table in a row, yet still didn’t find any trace of "Aphrodite’s Wisdom Tooth".
He began to suspect, could it be that the divine tooth had embedded itself into another item?
However, after a thorough inspection, neither the Fallen Holy Grail, nor the two Cross Sword Curse Tools from the Red Emperor Army, nor the Imaginary Core from the two "mechanical experts", showed any change, and there was no sudden enchantment.
Including the dozen or so Erosion Crystals of different qualities and grades in the bag, none had any special manifestation.
"Could it have been absorbed by the storage bag itself?"
Xu Shu’s heart sank, but he quickly dismissed this thought.
His storage underwear was indeed special, being a mutated item from a creature known as the "alluring flower puppet", possessing some tricks indeed. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
But ultimately, it was just a ’fine’ quality item only.
How could it possibly consume a divine relic?
After searching fruitlessly, Xu Shu suddenly thought of something.
Previously during the expedition, upon encountering the Wisdom Tooth for the first time, Narrow Sleeve Guanyin had shown a high degree of excitement and anomaly.
Even though he didn’t use her, she would constantly emit the Life-taking Mantra on her own, and it couldn’t be stopped easily!
This was something Xu Shu had almost forgotten.
But now, with the disappearance of the Divine Wisdom Tooth, he quickly became alert and started suspecting her.
Thinking back to how Narrow Sleeve Guanyin wasn’t the first time secretly eating something, like the "Spectral Essence" of Lady Qiansui in the underground ruins, or the Deceitful Servant "Fu Shi" of Wu Liuzhi, all were devoured by the small jade Buddha without his knowledge.
Although the situation this time was different, Xu Shu had previously speculated a rule, that only "Evil Spirits" he had special contact with could be triggered to be swallowed by the small jade Buddha.
Yet this time the ’Aphrodite’s Wisdom Tooth’ doesn’t seem to belong to "Evil Spirits", thus not fitting into this rule.
But this doesn’t prevent him from suspecting her, especially since she has a record!
After searching around, she remains the most suspicious.
"Don’t play dead, was it you who took it?" Xu Shu placed the small jade Buddha in front of him and asked solemnly.
Narrow Sleeve Guanyin remained motionless, dignified and alluringly beautiful, with her eyes tightly shut, seemingly asleep.
Upon hearing Xu Shu’s questioning, the "Primordial Spirit" slowly opened her beautiful big eyes, pure and clear, looking at Xu Shu innocently and simply.
She couldn’t speak, so she answered in another way.
"Ah? Oh oh... Master, Bodhisattva says she doesn’t know~" Ji Yu’s timid voice echoed from the slightly shaking air beside the small jade Buddha.
"She doesn’t know? Hmph, stop pretending, are you plotting against me!"
Xu Shu immediately sensed problems and, without further ado, picked up the small jade Buddha and tossed it into the water pool, shaking it back and forth like washing vegetables, and threatened viciously:
"Will you speak or not? If not, it won’t be just a simple soak next!"
Not even a minute passed, under Xu Shu’s pressure, Narrow Sleeve Guanyin ultimately couldn’t withstand the shaking.
She had to open her mouth, revealing a brilliant shining white tooth alone, like a clean white jade, glistening.
"Gosh, you really stole it!"
Although it had shrunk several times in size, Xu Shu recognized it at a glance.
Immediately, he tried to pry her open, wanting to take the wisdom tooth out.
But Narrow Sleeve Guanyin quickly closed her mouth, gently pecked him, her eyes blinking with a flattering expression.
"Trying to act cute? It’s useless! Joking aside, can I let such a good thing go to you? Then I would be working for you?"
Xu Shu wasn’t fooled, he forcefully pried her open to remove the tooth.
No matter how hard he tried, the tooth seemed to have rooted in, not budging an inch.
A coldness flashed in Xu Shu’s eyes: "Alright, if that’s the case, I can only send you to the Western Heaven."
He immediately stood up from the pool, appearing as if he would move her to the safe zone to blast her, slaying the Buddha to claim treasures.
This time the small jade Buddha was truly afraid, her eyes each emitted a vortex, intertwining and seemingly expressing something subtly.
Ji Yu helped translate, saying: "Master, master, Bodhisattva asked me to convey, saying this item is destined with her."
Xu Shu was amused: "Damn it, I think her body’s crystal is destined with me! Some useless thing still dares to steal eat, today she must learn what rules are!"
Ji Yu hurriedly said: "Master, Bodhisattva says the item moved itself, not intentionally driven away by her, but she can control it, it can help you."
"Do you think I’d believe that?"
"People who renounce the world don’t lie."
"Oh? Really?"
Xu Shu pondered, stroking his chin.
If truly Narrow Sleeve Guanyin can digest and control the item for his use, it might not be unacceptable.
Considering how Steve’s steps in using the wisdom tooth were quite troublesome, seemingly requiring it first to be placed in his own mouth.
For Xu Shu, he naturally had to measure it properly, as this thing is the "Divine Relic", who knows if there’s any other cost or side effects? Not daring to use lightly, and besides, his own teeth are fine, not really wanting a false tooth either.
