Chapter 1899 - 1487: The Hanging Rope Is Very Important! (Part 2)

Gu Changsheng kept picking flowers nonstop while grinding her teeth and growling under her breath.

Ever since entering the Star Innate Tower, Gu Changsheng had had this feeling—that they were all just puppets on Ta You’s strings, every move they made firmly under his control!

Gu Changsheng really, really hated this feeling of being manipulated, being watched, yet completely unable to do anything about it!

Wasn’t Ta You supposed to be all tsundere and weird to the max? Fine then, she’d just loot his Star Innate Tower clean. She refused to believe Ta You could really keep his cool and not show himself!

But, as time went on, Gu Changsheng discovered in horror that damn it—even if she stripped the Star Innate Tower bare, Ta You could still sit tight and not move!

If Shi Wujue hadn’t made a move on the Fourth Level of the Star Innate Tower to deal with the Blood Rabbit, they still wouldn’t have been able to drag that bastard Ta You out...

Gu Changsheng concluded that Ta You was a monster who could really sit still—utterly terrifying.

Mm, pretty much like that!

So Gu Changsheng felt even less guilty about robbing the place!

Guilty my ass. The owner himself didn’t care, acting all "loot it or don’t, whatever, I’m above it all and don’t give a damn"!

Fine...

In fact, Ta You really was above it all!

He was up above the Ninth Layer of the Star Innate Tower, while they were still struggling to climb, and up till now they hadn’t even cleared the Fifth Level!

What the hell was this situation!

If Gu Changsheng had known beforehand just how insanely dangerous and difficult it was inside this Star Innate Tower, she swore she absolutely would’ve accepted Yuan Bao’s suggestion—start from the outside instead. Even if they had to mobilize a whole army to knock the Star Innate Tower over from the outside, it would’ve been way better than being trapped inside, stuck up and down!

This perfectly proved that saying: if people don’t ask for death, they won’t die. Arrogance is something you absolutely can’t afford—seriously fatal!

No one knew about Gu Changsheng’s grumbling, but under her constant picking, the Sinful Sea Flower was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The endless stretch of Sinful Sea Flowers was rapidly shrinking as Gu Changsheng worked. Every Sinful Sea Flower picked caused the boundless Sinful Sea Flower Field around them to shrink by another ring...

This discovery made Gu Changsheng ecstatic, like she’d just been injected with chicken blood, instantly back to full HP!

Pick!

No need to wait for the blooming period, no need to pluck every last Sinful Sea Flower across the endless field, and the Illusionary Realm would still disappear—this discovery had Gu Changsheng practically dancing with joy!

Even just for the sake of her stomach that was about to cave in from hunger, she had to keep it up!

Since Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s flower-picking was useless, the grand undertaking of picking Sinful Sea Flowers really did fall entirely on Gu Changsheng’s shoulders!

Gu Changsheng felt that she’d enslaved the two of them for so many days, acting as a contractor for ages. Once in a while taking a turn as an indentured laborer herself actually wasn’t so bad, and honestly, picking some flowers hardly counted as hard labor!

Gu Changsheng declared she was fine with that!

While Gu Changsheng was over here happily picking away, she had no idea that on the Fifth Level of the Star Innate Tower, where there were no **** obsessions, Yuan Bao had long since walked out of the Sinful Sea Flower Illusionary Realm and was waiting till his heart was about to shatter!

Crying to the heavens and smearing tears everywhere didn’t help at all. On the Fifth Level of the Star Innate Tower, Yuan Bao was basically shouting to the sky with no answer, crying to the earth with no response—utterly, completely helpless!

It had to be said, Yuan Bao was a Little Eunuch loyal to the core. So after bawling for ages and praying for ages yet still seeing no sign of his Family Head and Madam, Yuan Bao truly panicked!

That panic, as he waited, slowly turned into despair!

Especially in the empty Fifth Level of the Star Innate Tower that only threw his own echoes back at him, Yuan Bao’s despair was magnified to infinity!

Yuan Bao felt that his Family Head and Madam had probably met with misfortune!

With the Family Head and Madam gone, leaving only him, Yuan Bao, alive and alone—what was the point of living?

"Master, Madam, don’t be afraid, Yuan Bao is coming to keep you company! On the Yellow Springs Road, Yuan Bao will attend to you so you won’t be lonely. Yuan Bao is coming to find you now, wuwuwu..."

Wiping the tears off his face, Yuan Bao dragged that sack of food hanging off his body and walked toward the spiral staircase leading up to the Sixth Layer of the Star Innate Tower...

He set the sack of food down at the bottom of the stairs, then Yuan Bao started rustling around, loosening his clothes and belt...

It had to be said, Yuan Bao was plump and glossy-looking; his waist was so round you couldn’t even tell where the waistline was!

So his belt was extremely long!

For hanging himself and such, it was neither too long nor too short—just perfect!

"Master! Madam! Yuan Bao is coming to keep you company now! Please wait for Yuan Bao on the Yellow Springs Road! Yuan Bao is timid, and afraid of the dark!"

Howling as he spoke, Yuan Bao flicked the belt in his hand up over the spiral staircase...

A martial artist is still a martial artist after all!

Take this hanging-yourself procedure, for example: other people could toss a noose several times and still fail to hook it. Yuan Bao actually kind of wanted to miss, but he couldn’t escape the fact that he practiced martial arts. Even with his Inner Strength gone, his aim was still there!

And sure enough, one throw and it hit the mark!

The long belt dangled down from high up on the stairs!

On Yuan Bao’s plump, glossy face there was a trace of bitterness, but even more than that, there was resolve!

He wasn’t afraid of death; he’d already died once. But if something had happened to his Family Head and Madam, Yuan Bao absolutely refused to live on alone!

If he lived on, then in the underworld, who would attend to his Family Head and Madam?

Thinking this, Yuan Bao didn’t hesitate—he tied a knot in the dangling belt, stepped up onto the sack full of food, stretched out his neck, and slipped it into the loop of the belt he’d tied...
