Chapter 260: Alone Again, Returning to the Underworld Forest
“Why?”
Chen Shisan looked up at Chen Changsheng.
“Because you’re all stubborn!”
“You and Ao Xuehongmei, including Meng Yu, are as stubborn as donkeys. There’s a saying in the world, ‘It’s hard to be oblivious.'”
“If you want a perfect solution, you need to pretend to be oblivious.”
“But clearly, you’re not that kind of person. If you were willing to pretend to be oblivious, you would have asked me for help since the moment I met you.”
“If Ao Xuehongmei were willing to pretend to be oblivious, then one more person would have left Gold Mountain City.”
“If Meng Yu were willing to pretend to be oblivious, then you could enjoy both now.”
“But you all chose to live with clarity, so there is no perfect solution.”
Just as he was speaking, Meng Yu walked out of the thatched hut with a calm expression.
The two young people stared at each other without anyone speaking first.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shisan took out two silver bells and handed them over.
“For you.”
Meng Yu looked at the item in Chen Shisan’s hand and spoke.
“Is this something you’re giving me, or is it from Hongmei?”
“Hongmei asked me to give it to you, but I also wanted to give it to you.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu took the bell from Chen Shisan’s hand and then took out another and fastened it to Chen Shisan’s waist.
“Giving you these bells, ringing with every step, thinking with every step.”
“This bell will follow you, and with every ring, your memory will deepen.”
“Because in your life, there are two women who deserve to be in your heart forever.”
“Also, the place closest to your heart belongs to me. You must remember that.”
After saying this, Meng Yu hung the other bell on her own sword.
Having done everything, Meng Yu turned and walked away.
Meng Yu’s figure gradually receded, and the clear sound of the bell echoed in the wind.
Looking at Meng Yu’s back, then at the tightly closed door, Chen Shisan said lightly, “Xiancha, let’s go.”
“No problem, let’s set off!”
Chen Changsheng walked forward confidently, and Chen Shisan followed silently behind him.
Unnoticed by Chen Shisan, when he turned around, the tightly closed door slowly opened a crack.
Previously composed Ao Xuehongmei had already cried herself into tears.
Her right hand tightly covered her lips, afraid of making even a little noise.
Because she knew that her crying would hold someone dear to her back.
…
Eastern Wastes.
“Xiancha, where are we?”
Looking at the desolate surroundings, Chen Shisan curiously asked.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng casually replied, “A certain place’s entrance.”
“In the coming time, I will take you to a place for training.”
“When you come out of it, it will prove that your sword is sharp enough.”
“A peerless swordsman requires countless battles to cultivate, and your battles are still insufficient.”
“Moreover, during this period, I need to prepare a sword that can astonish the world for you.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan thought for a moment and said, “Xiancha, I already have a sword.”
“I know, but Jiang Feng’s sword will eventually fail to keep up with your pace.”
“This sword is dead, and it won’t be qualified for future battles against strong enemies.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng took out a green leaf.
With the appearance of the green leaf, a spatial door also appeared.
“Chee!”
The squeak of a mouse sounded, and the chubby Treasure Mouse emerged from the grass nearby.
Looking at the Treasure Mouse on his shoulder, Chen Shisan smiled.
“At the Buddhist Affinity Conference, after I fell unconscious, I didn’t see you anymore. Where have you been all this time?”
Facing Chen Shisan’s inquiry, the Treasure Mouse shook its small paw and patted its round belly.
That seemed to say, “I can’t tell you where I’ve been, but I’m well-fed.”
Glancing at the Treasure Mouse that suddenly appeared, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “Enough chatter, let’s go in.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s command, Chen Shisan obediently entered the spatial door.
…
“Whoosh!”
After a whirlwind, Chen Changsheng and the other arrived at a lake.
In the center of the lake stood a small island, and on that island grew a small green tree.
“You’ve come?”
A gentle voice came from the small tree.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “For now, I’ve come for a visit. Let me pay some interest.”
“Also, this child may need to trouble you for some time.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the small green tree swayed, seemingly sensing Chen Shisan.
“He has a strong heart, and he will become stronger in the future.”
“That’s natural. After all, it’s not just anyone I choose. If he weren’t strong enough, why would I trouble you?”
“And there’s no one better suited to cultivate him in the entire world.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, the small tree swayed in the wind, seemingly enjoying the praise.
“Changes have occurred outside the Crimson Realm. Is it because of you?”
“More or less. I plan to do something big recently, so there might be some commotion.”
“Then you should be careful. I feel many powerful beings are stirring.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything without confidence.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng took out a wooden bottle and poured out numerous seeds and demon beast corpses.
“These things were collected by me outside, and they are all helpful for your evolution.”
“With these things, your evolutionary speed should increase.”
“Thank you!”
A faint voice came, and the seeds and demon beast corpses that Chen Changsheng had taken out were quickly swallowed by the land here.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Chen Shisan and said.
“This is the Underworld Forest, where everything can regenerate.”
“In other words, this place has an endless number of demon beasts.”
“When you can k*ll all the demon beasts in the Underworld Forest, your training will end.”
“If you cannot do it, you will be trapped here forever.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng turned and left.
After Chen Changsheng left, Chen Shisan was instantly transferred to a dense forest.
“Roar!”
A black bear as large as a mountain roared, its powerful aura already slightly surpassing the Lamp of Life Realm.
At the same time, other roars came from within the dense forest, and the auras of these existences were one stronger than the next.
Facing so many powerful enemies, Chen Shisan slowly gripped the hilt of his sword.
In the coming time, Chen Shisan would face all of this alone.
…
Outside the Underworld Forest.
“Whoosh!”
Exiting the spatial door, Chen Changsheng casually closed the portal.
“Come out, you don’t think you can hide from me, do you?”
As the words fell, Zhi Ze grinned and wobbled out.
“Hehe!”
“I knew I couldn’t hide from you.”
Glancing at the grinning Zhi Ze, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “Let’s go, Chen Shisan won’t be out for a short while.”
“I’ll have to live a lonely life again, this is so annoying.”
“Who said you’re living alone? Isn’t there a dog keeping you company?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng stared at Zhi Ze for a few breaths before smiling.
“You’re right, I still have a dog keeping me company.”
After saying this, man and dog slowly disappeared in the distance.
Their conversation faintly carried by the wind.
“Now that you’re the acting ruler of the Heavenly Court, can you give me a position?”
“What job does a dog need?”
“You’re the dog, your whole family is dogs.”
“I am the divine beast Zhi Ze!”
