Chapter 137

Thinking about how he hadn't done this kind of work since the last time he went to another world to complete a mission, Cheng Hui couldn't help but feel a little guilty and laughed dryly: "Well, you see, I'm practicing now..."

Xiao Tong's mouth pursed, and he pulled out another projection screen from the air, which showed the scene of him immersed in the spiritual liquid to practice.

Cheng Hui: ...

The corners of his mouth twitched. Xiao Tong's meaning was very clear. He could practice, but he also had to complete the mission. It didn't make any difference anyway.

OK...

Cheng Hui thought to himself that he had received a lot of benefits from Xiao Tong, and it really wasn't a good idea to just take the benefits without doing any work.

"Okay, let's go." Cheng Hui rubbed Xiao Tong's furry head.

Xiao Tong ran away and happily dragged back a huge box. Cheng Hui opened the lid and saw a pile of ripe Lingxi fruits inside.

Cheng Hui: ...Suddenly felt guilty.

Each Lingxi Fruit can connect to a world, some of which need to be saved, and some do not.

Cheng Hui had communicated with Xiaotong, but Xiaotong was unable to speak, so he could only remind him through acting.

He can enter any of these worlds, but for those that don't need help, he can only enter as a stowaway.

Because of Xiao Tong's existence and the merits he had accumulated, he would not be targeted by the world. However, he would no longer have the good fortune of taking his body with him. He could only "pick up" a body that had just died, and he had to fulfill the other party's last wish.

Of course, it’s not too difficult. After all... it’s just waste recycling at best. If it’s too difficult to complete the task, then it’s not worth it. It’s better to change it.

"So where are we going today?" Cheng Hui asked Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong rummaged through the Lingxi fruits and quickly found a fruit that was red and purple.

After Xiao Tong's explanation, Cheng Hui has learned that this purple-red fruit is an "expiring" fruit. If it is not eaten, the coordinates of that world will be lost after it rots.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, Xiao Tong found the fruit.

"Ah!" Xiao Yi took out a handful of golden sand from his pocket with a painful look on his face.

Cheng Hui looked at Xiao Tong's distressed expression and couldn't help but twitch his face... If he remembered correctly, these merit gold sands were just collateral used to pledge to the Heavenly Dao to ensure that he would not mess around in the small world. They would be taken back when they left that world. Why was Xiao Tong so distressed?

Xiao Tong looked at him with tears in his eyes, stretched out his little hand and gently patted his big hand, as if to tell him not to waste time in the small world, because if he did, he would not be able to get the collateral back...

The corners of Cheng Hui's mouth twitched, and he could see some of the earnestness of an old father on that cute little face.

He held his forehead silently, thinking that he must not have had enough rest recently and that he was hallucinating.

He pushed Xiaotong away in disgust, and watched him fall to the ground after being pushed lightly by him. He took out a handkerchief from somewhere, bit a corner of it, and looked at him with tearful eyes.

Cheng Hui: ...

You win!

"Okay, okay, I promise not to wander around in this little world anymore, okay? Really, am I that unreliable?" Cheng Hui muttered.

Xiao Tong jumped up suddenly, his handkerchief disappeared, his tears dried up, and he pointed at Cheng Hui and started to babble, as if to say, "Don't you know whether you are reliable or not?"

Cheng Hui suddenly felt guilty. He didn't know why he felt guilty. After all, he had only been to one world and performed well in it. Why would Xiao Tong point his finger at him?

He narrowed his eyes at Xiao Tong and suddenly said, "Why do you act like I was unreliable before? I remember I just went to a world, right?"

Xiao Tong suddenly froze, waved goodbye to him as if nothing had happened, and ran away pushing the big box full of Lingxi fruit.

Seeing Xiao Tong's expression that almost showed the word "guilty" written all over his face, Cheng Hui's heart suddenly sank.

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong!

Xiaotong is his plug-in, the kind that can reach a deal with Tiandao. Even Xiaotong is unwilling to tell him what he has done in the past?

Or to be more precise...what happened in his past?

Sighing silently, Cheng Hui felt that his past was like a tangled mess. There was obviously a problem, but he couldn't even find the end of the thread, so how could he solve the problem?

Take it slow... This is the only way Cheng Hui can comfort himself now.

After all, if there really was something wrong with his past, it was definitely not something that a small bronze-armored corpse like him could solve now. It would be better for him to concentrate on cultivation. He believed that the higher his cultivation level, the fewer people there would be. When his cultivation level reached a certain level, clues might appear on their own without him having to look for them.

He walked over to the huge cocoon in the corner of the living room and tapped the shell gently.

A light suddenly appeared in the shell, then quickly dimmed.

Cheng Hui knew that this was Lin Qingyang's response to him, proving that he was still practicing hard and there was no way to communicate with him for the time being.

He quietly recounted his experiences over the past period of time. Although he tried very hard, what he said was still a bit dry.

He coughed dryly twice and said, "Well, I'm going to be in seclusion for a while. You can practice here with peace of mind. When you come out, I might be a silver-armored corpse. I'll protect you by then!"

After saying that, he patted the eggshell, turned around, went upstairs and entered his bedroom.

In fact, traveling through a small world can be done anywhere, but Cheng Hui wanted to have a sense of ritual, so he returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed.

The sky outside the window quickly darkened, and the sky was dotted with stars. Cheng Hui looked through the window and felt the silver starlight falling on himself, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It's so beautiful... just like my grandma's yard..."

He grumbled something, opened his mouth and ate the fruit, his eyes slowly closed, and his body slowly disappeared...

When he was a child, the giant cocoon that had been in the corner of the living room lit up again, and the light inside became brighter and brighter, as if it was about to explode.

"Ah!" Xiao Tong appeared out of nowhere and nervously circled around the giant cocoon.

The flickering light of the giant cocoon paused for a moment, but soon, a shadow slowly seeped out from the cocoon and then turned into a handsome man.

He had a slender figure and a beautiful face, his long, smooth, blood-soaked hair trailing on the ground. His eyes were closed, as if he were in a deep sleep, but the aura around him was so terrifying that no one dared to approach him.

Xiao Tong looked at the shadow transformed into a human form in horror, and bit his fingers nervously. He seemed to want to do something, but because of some fear he didn't dare to do it, so he could only watch from afar.

Finally, the man opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of frightening eyes, the light grey pupils were clear and watery, but without any human emotions.

She possesses stunning beauty, but with those indifferent eyes, she makes people feel like she is just a cold puppet.

"Ah!" Xiao Tong was spinning around in circles. The big devil in front of him was extremely fierce. He almost killed him. If not... Oh no, why did he wake up?

The indifferent eyes suddenly shrank when they saw Xiao Tong, and then they were tinged with human colors. The puppet came to life at this moment.

His beautiful eyes turned slightly, and when he saw this familiar environment, he showed a smile that charmed countless people. Finally... he came out again.

The beauty raised her lips slightly, and looking back at the giant cocoon beside her, she said with satisfaction: "It's not too useless. At least it can let me out." He looked down at his body, "Although it's just a fragment of the soul, it's enough for the time being."

The giant cocoon shook violently, as if in protest.

The beauty sneered, "Alright, you're stuck here now and can't move. If you break out of the cocoon, it might completely destroy your foundation. Then... Ah Hui and you share the same roots. What will happen to him now that you've been badly injured?"

The shaking of the giant cocoon finally slowed down.

The beauty patted the giant cocoon gently as if to comfort him: "Okay, don't worry, I will try my best to win him for you. After all... I am you, and you are me..." After saying this, his figure disappeared, leaving Xiao Tong pitifully standing there, looking at his empty pockets, wanting to cry but unable to...

I...my merits and virtues...QAQ

The bad guy, the big devil!

I shouldn't have agreed to let him become half my master!

Xiaotong fell into autism, hiding in a corner and drawing circles.

The giant cocoon flickered a few more times before finally returning to calm.

* * *

Not to mention what happened in Cheng Hui's physical body and sea of ​​consciousness, Cheng Hui felt the familiar dizziness after swallowing the Lingxi Fruit.

When he woke up again, his body... huh?

He now... seems to be floating in the air?

He looked around and saw that there was no one in the wilderness. Well, it wasn't completely deserted, because there was a dead body on the ground.

I vaguely understood that this corpse might be the one Xiaotong mentioned... Wait, where is Xiaotong?

He called out twice in his mind, but there was no response. Cheng Hui vaguely realized that a world that was not in crisis would not allow Xiao Tong to enter casually.

Moreover, Xiao Tong has to spend money every time he comes in. With his stingy appearance, he is definitely unwilling to pay this money.

So, he doesn't have any help from Xiaotong in this world?

emmmm...Okay.

He is not a child, so he really doesn't need Xiaotong's personal care.

However, he remembered that Xiaotong had said that since these worlds were not dangerous, they would naturally not be too polite to him as an outsider.

Therefore, even if he reached an agreement with the original owner of the body, the time that this body could be used was limited.

The shortest is seven days and the longest is one year. The specific length depends on the difficulty of the wish you need to fulfill.

As long as you fulfill the corpse's last wish, you can spend the rest of your time as you please.

Just like the peppers he discovered in the previous world, every world has its own specialties.

In their hometown, it may be just an ordinary thing, but when it is taken to the outside world, it can become a treasure worth a fortune.

Or perhaps a very ordinary hot spring in the local area is a treasure land like a spiritual eye to him, the kind that can instantly improve his cultivation by running into it.

Of course, whether you can encounter such a thing depends on chance. If you are unlucky, it is normal to miss the treasure.

In a word, entering the small world only gives you an opportunity. What you can find depends on your luck and...what you do.

After all, there are many Heavenly Daos, and each one has a different personality. Although most of them only need to maintain the stability of the world and work hard to develop, they basically don’t care what specifically happens in the world, but there are always some weird ones who are used to observing silently.

If you encounter this kind of fate, if you do something to please him, maybe he will take the initiative to give you some benefits when you leave.
