Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1275 - 154: A Homeland in a Foreign Land

At this moment on the ground, everyone had already killed all the "double-headed babies" and "gray child" monsters that came knocking to die, and even the scene was cleaned up long ago.

Xie Xiaochan sat on a stone block, wiping off the oily blood from the tip of her brush, while continuing to attack Lu Bingwei beside her, chattering incessantly about something.

This left Lu Bingwei quite annoyed, yet she couldn’t find a way to refuse, since even if Xie Xiaochan was bothering her, she did so with extreme politeness and etiquette, calling her "senior sister" with intimate closeness.

As a notorious social terror on the network, Xie Xiaochan somehow managed to establish a connection with everyone here, even if she didn’t know them, like "the leader of the organization where your senior sister’s aunt is from visited the Female Void Palace last year, and I happened to meet her in the cafeteria where she mentioned you several times," or something like that.

In this complex group, Xie Xiaochan had evidently become the big sister leading the pack, and everyone felt she talked even more than Brother Ha Ha, Yan Huoxing.

— Of course, this was mainly because Black Hearted Rose’s bad reputation hampered Yan Huoxing’s performance.

Last night, upon hearing another "Dragon Elephant" brother unfortunately perish here, Yan Huoxing became much more silent and withdrawn, subconsciously keeping a distance from Xie Xiaochan, like avoiding the plague.

At this time, seeing Xu Shu returning from the sewers, Xie Xiaochan’s eyes sharpened, only then did she release Lu Bingwei, who had a "Thank heavens" expression, and she sidled up to Xu Shu, asking him quietly with concern, "Why did you take so long? Did you run into any accidents?"

"No, they ran fast, and it took some time to completely chase and kill them," Xu Shu casually lied, ready to brush it off.

The bride cares about me a lot, I hope she doesn’t find out I bullied the cute little nurse secretly... although she might have already realized...

Musing this in his heart, Xu Shu took out the 25 crystal pieces taken from the nurse and handed them to her for safekeeping. These would be part of the common spoils to be distributed later, though it wasn’t much.

However, Xie Xiaochan furrowed her brow, suddenly catching a flaw: "No, just now I clearly saw it was you who dragged them into that underground tunnel for a duel?"

"Uh..."

Why the heck are you paying attention to this?

Xu Shu frowned, thinking he absolutely couldn’t talk more on this topic, or there would be loopholes.

Thus, after a slight eye roll, he immediately chose not to answer Xie Xiaochan’s question, instead looking toward Gu Pan not far away, feigning concern, "Jun Moxiao, why do you look so exhausted? Did you secretly stay up late flying a plane last night?"

This statement shocked everyone, and they all looked at the pale-lipped, dark-eyed "Jun Moxiao," with expressions full of confusion and disbelief.

Flying a what? Plane? Strange, could it be this guy just acts dainty but is actually not a woman...

At this moment, except for Gu Yue Ming, some including Xie Xiaochan, who thought they saw through her disguise as a man, greatly doubted their previous judgment.

"???"

Facing everyone’s suspicion, Gu Pan also widened her pupils, looking more puzzled and shocked than everyone else, staring incredulously at Xu Shu.

Damn it... You’re the one who stayed up all night flying a plane! Damn! Judging by your guilty look, you must have done something shameful in the tunnel just now, daring to harm your master with such a malicious trick! Do you have any idea how hard I argued with two ancient Great Demons last night to protect you?

Gu Pan muttered curses continuously in her heart, wishing she could expose Xu Shu right then and there, letting everyone be embarrassed together.

But to maintain the persona of "Jun Moxiao," she couldn’t refute or defend herself, so she could only coolly put on a "I’m an expert, I couldn’t care less about joking with you" posture, calmly asking, "How far are we from the destination?"

Ning Xin discreetly looked at Gu Pan’s back and pointed to a spot on the map, saying, "Just now, I’ve scouted the surroundings. We are currently here, and at our current pace, we should be there in a bit over an hour."

"So soon?"

This question perked everyone up.

They had been traveling since morning, supposedly covering two to three hundred kilometers, but it definitely felt more, so they had some doubts in their minds.

Hearing such good news at this moment naturally made them feel much more relaxed.

Ning Xin glanced at Yan Xie Xiaochan’s seemingly bulging yet seemingly never filled small embroidered pouch on her waist, and thought to add: "Actually, if we avoid all dangers, this time can be cut to within an hour, but we would lose some income, depending on everyone’s choice."

"Even faster?" Eyes brightened even more.

After some discussion, the group finally decided to bypass the trivial matters, focusing on reaching the destination as quickly as possible.

Ning Xin saw no objection and led the way quickly, while the rest followed close behind, maintaining a speed not too fast, to avoid unexpected incidents or anyone falling behind.

After a while, crossing several mountains and rivers, they entered a dense fog area where visibility was less than three meters.

Taking this chance, Gu Pan stealthily fell back to Xu Shu’s side, shot him a discontented look, "Hey, why did you drag me down? Did you... uh, do something to those monsters down there?"
