"Hahaha, I knew you would be tempted. Just wait a minute. It will be put into use in about half a month. By then, I will go to the Tianxuan Auction House to find a more capable person to help you. You can take turns here and then go to the training room to practice. After all, practicing for one hour is equivalent to practicing for three hours before. Although it is no longer a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife, the higher the strength, the better. This way, you will be able to solve problems when you encounter them, right?" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Brother Gu is right. It seems that we must not neglect both business and cultivation in the future. It is best to have both." Mu San nodded.
"Yes, that's right. So you have to pay attention to it in the future and practice cultivation whenever you have time."
"Okay, I understand." Mu San replied.
"Okay, then you take care of things here first. I need to go back to Boulder City. I still have some things to deal with there. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
"Brother Gu, be careful on the road."
Gu Yuan nodded, and then started his journey.
After walking on the road for a whole day, Gu Yuan finally saw the outline of the Stone City.
This time, Gu Yuan walked neither hurriedly nor slowly, unlike last time when he was in a hurry.
Looking at the dense forest in front of him, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies! The last time I came here was half a year ago. I remember that time I was attacked from behind right after I arrived here. I almost got hit. Now I'm here again, and I really feel a little sad!"
Gu Yuan smacked his lips. Life is so wonderful. He always likes to reminisce about the past.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, Gu Yuan went straight into the city and headed towards the black market.
This time when he returned to Giant Stone City, Gu Yuan was going to find the little witch. With the little witch's powerful strength, she would definitely be able to wake Shui Yaoyao up directly from her sleep.
In the black market.
The little witch lay on the table bored, her eyes occasionally glancing outside, and she would mutter from time to time: "Why haven't you come back after so long?"
"Little girl, what are you doing?"
"without……"
The little witch was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked up at the familiar face.
"Gu Yuan! You're back!"
The little witch hurriedly ran to Gu Yuan, and looking at the familiar face, her nose couldn't help but feel sore.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Seeing the aggrieved little witch, Gu Yuan panicked. He quickly walked up to her, raised his hands to hold her cheeks, and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
The little witch, who had only a slight sore nose, felt even more aggrieved after hearing these words. She rushed directly into Gu Yuan's arms, pressed her face tightly into his arms, and sobbed as she said, "Why did you take so long to come back? I... I'm the only one here... I'm all alone, and there's no one to talk to me, and no one to play with me..."
After hearing the little witch's words, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a lot more guilty.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't think about it that much. I shouldn't have left you here alone and went back." Gu Yuan said apologetically.
Although the little witch is a powerful Spirit Emperor, she is still just a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. In the past, there was the Hammer Emperor. Although he was not always by her side, the little girl at least had company and something to look forward to and hope for. Now that the Hammer Emperor is gone, the little girl has basically never left the Giant Stone City, let alone any friends. It is estimated that the little girl only has Gu Yuan and Chi Yuer as her friends now.
And Chi Yuer was not there at all, so Gu Yuan became the little witch's only support.
However, what Gu Yuan didn't expect was that this little girl seemed to be a little dependent on him. He didn't feel it at other times, but this time, after only a few dozen days of leaving, this little girl became like this.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt even more pity for the little witch.
"Okay, okay, I just came here to see you this time, so don't cry."
Gu Yuan gently patted the little witch's back and spoke softly.
After sobbing for a long time to release the grievances in her heart, the little witch pushed Gu Yuan away and returned to her usual cold and aloof appearance.
Gu Yuan looked at the little witch with a wry smile. Well, this was the normal state of this girl.
"Now it's okay, I'm here to find you!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Hmph! You knew I was the only one here, yet you left for so long on purpose! You did it on purpose!" the little witch said angrily.
"No, I don't. I really have something to say, and I came to you this time because I encountered some trouble over there. Otherwise, it might take some time for me to come back to see you." Gu Yuan said with a wry smile.
"Oh, so you remembered to come to me because something happened. I thought you came because you missed me." The little witch said coldly.
Gu Yuan was once again at a loss for words. This girl was already a powerful Spirit Emperor, but she still liked to throw tantrums like a child.
"Okay, okay, I must have come back because I missed you. It just happened that I need your help with something." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"That's more like it!" The little witch muttered, and asked, "What happened over there that you still need my help?"
"Well, actually, it's not a big deal, but it's a bit tricky for me, so I came to you this time."
"Tell me, let's see what's going on." said the little witch.
