Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1185 - 125: Alliance and Familiar Information
"These two Human List Experts are well-known, so there’s no need to mention them. As for that Fallen Apostle Ali, haha, back when I was born, she was already a third-tier expert. I’ve even seen her notebook. Now, ten years later, she’s still active and doesn’t seem like someone nearing the end. Perhaps she’s already touched the threshold of the third-tier peak!"
"And then there’s Yan Huoxing himself. The weight of being number one on the Qingyun List is self-explanatory. Though he hasn’t been promoted for long, you definitely can’t underestimate him."
"Tsk tsk tsk, just think about it, this bunch of people is so much stronger than us. After all, among us, you’re the strongest publicly, as the Human List Gatekeeper." Xie Xiaochan shook her head with a sigh and added,
"I guess they might be regretting agreeing to the alliance now, but unfortunately, it’s too late to back out without offending people, and a fight would break out on the spot, so they can only swallow their pride."
"So, that’s how it is. Their ranking is far above mine, but our strength is probably similar? That’s not bad!"
Having single-handedly battled the 51st on the Human List the entire day, Xu Shu would not underestimate himself.
But then he widened his eyes: "...Wait a minute, what do you mean I’m the strongest publicly? I’m the strongest, period, right?"
"Tch." Xie Xiaochan snorted softly.
Little brother, with just three epic tales, you dare boast in front of me!
Do you know you’re standing before the sole Legendary Curse Seal holder of the Human Clan, one of the Female Void Palace’s current walkers in the world, a genius so talented she directly exploded the immortal relic [Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes]? The incredible, unrivaled genius Xie Xiaochan?
You actually think you’re the biggest asset in this group?
Sis, considering the help I’ve received from influential figures behind you, I’ll give you some face and won’t show my true capabilities in front of you!
Xie Xiaochan boasted to herself inwardly, then suddenly remembered something and tugged on Xu Shu’s sleeve: "Hey, hey, there’s something I need to tell you!"
"What is it?"
Xu Shu looked puzzled, thinking the little bride seemed quite mischievous.
Xie Xiaochan pulled him aside and continued: "You noticed the female Heavenly Master Lu Bingwei, right? Be careful what you say to her, or you might bring disaster upon yourself if you say the wrong thing."
"What do you mean?" Xu Shu glanced cautiously at the female Heavenly Master.
Is this person particularly murderous?
No wonder she’s called the "Seven Defects of Meishan"... but her teacher, Melanie, seemed quite approachable...
While he was pondering, Xie Xiaochan suddenly said, "In our little circle, everyone secretly gave her a nickname, ’Microwave’, meaning her... um, you understand, right?"
As she spoke, Xie Xiaochan raised her head, tucked in her waist, and straightened her chest as if showing off, with a mysterious confidence on her face.
"What???" Xu Shu couldn’t hold it in on the spot.
But upon closer look, she was right; Lu Bingwei’s chest was flat as a board, having achieved an airplane runway at a young age. Future prospects are promising.
However...
Even if she’s really flat, how does that relate to you being the second smallest among the women present? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Is this a case of the penultimate mocking the ultimate?
Xu Shu shifted his gaze back to Xie Xiaochan, thinking a little resentfully.
But to be fair, the little bride’s figure is quite voluptuous, though endowed with the "Recoil Fighter" trait, it certainly isn’t related to smallness.
But there’s nothing to be done; the figures of the other women here are just too perfectly voluptuous. Not to mention the two "Fallen Apostles," Gu Yue Ming and Jiang Biyun are known for their stunning presence, which nudged Xie Xiaochan down to second from last.
"So you have to be careful, absolutely don’t mention anything like ’flat-chested’, ’petite’, ’extremely childish body’, or ’that female ghost has a great figure’ in front of her, or she might kill you." Xie Xiaochan said bluntly, unaware of her standings in Xu Shu’s mind.
"...Got it." Xu Shu was speechless.
We’re fighting life and death in the ruins, who on earth would inexplicably say something like that in front of teammates, seriously!
Meanwhile, the "transcendence" ceremony on the other side had also concluded.
Under the incantation of Ning Zhaoxuan, the unknown "Half-step Primordial Spirit" mermaid completely dispersed, turning into two characters, taken by Yan Huoxing in his hand.
This time Xu Shu got a good look, though at a glance he hadn’t seen wrongly, the characters were indeed "正" (zhèng) and "艹" (cǎo)!
"Including the acupoints in this third-tier mermaid’s body, combining people, yield, and before that, eight and ruler, I’ve now encountered seven characters... Funny, why does it feel like these characters stray further away from proper Buddhism? Did I recite something incorrectly?"
Xu Shu muttered to himself, turned and approached, cupping his hands to Yan Huoxing: "Brother Huoxing, hold on! Could you part with these two Mang remnants? I’m willing to purchase them at market price."
Yan Huoxing raised an eyebrow, his eyes shifting slightly as he said, "Hahaha, of course! But Brother Xu, do you find these useful?"
Xu Shu smiled: "They are of no use to me, but I have a dear friend who is a disciple of the Buddhist Sect. Knowing I was coming to the Night Parade of Hundred Demons, he specifically asked me to bring some characters back. Ah, we’re brothers, I can’t say no to that request."
"I see~" Yan Huoxing suddenly understood.
The Night Parade of Hundred Demons Ruins had been around for a while, and it was well-known that most of the Mang’s characters weren’t that valuable, priced at tens or hundreds of thousands, and the Buddhist Sect indeed was buying.
Typically, teams used to leave these Mang characters to the warriors or boatmen in the team. Xu Shu’s reasoning was quite reasonable upon reflection.
Yan Huoxing hesitated momentarily but saw Xu Shu had already produced two blue First-tier Crystals, so he didn’t overthink: "Brother Xu, why be so polite? Since you’re collecting them, take them! We’re all brothers; don’t be so formal!"
Despite saying so, Yan Huoxing didn’t let his hands idle, accepting the crystals Xu Shu took out and giving the Buddhist characters to Xu Shu in exchange.
"Thank you!" Xu Shu chuckled, feeling at ease with the transaction completed.
Yan Huoxing, upon returning, also didn’t hesitate to produce a contract.
But instead of immediately establishing a contract, he asked: "Everyone, do you have any plans next?"
Gu Yue Ming and the others remained silent, only glancing at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu, however, had Xie Xiaochan step forward, indicating that she would be the spokesperson.
Xie Xiaochan didn’t shy away and immediately said: "We originally intended to explore Death Report Ridge. If you four would join us, it would be twice as effective. Are you interested in participating?"
"Oh, Death Report Ridge?" Yan Huoxing nodded, rubbing his chin.
He and the other three whispered among themselves, constantly scrutinizing the other five besides Xu Shu and Xie Xiaochan.
Their expressions, though not overly apparent, were much like diners selecting dishes at a buffet, overly casual, leaving Jiang Biyun and the others a bit uneasy.
There was no helping it, the significant disparity in strength was obvious. If not for Xu Shu, they wouldn’t even have the eligibility for an equal conversation with the others.
