“The inscription on the stone tablet reminds me of something,” Xia Chuhe said. “Some sects in the ancient world categorized human sins into seven types, collectively known as the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust. The virtues corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins are exactly the opposite of the virtues of the gods on the stone tablet.”
Dong Huimiao tilted her head; it was extremely strange that she made this gesture with the person in charge's body.
"Could the Seven Deadly Sins be a clue to the Land of Rules?"
"I don't know, I just suddenly remembered what was written on the stone tablet."
"So, once we enter the Land of Rules, our cooperation will end, right?" Dong Huimiao felt a little uncertain, and unexpectedly felt reluctant to end the cooperation.
Xia Chuhe smiled gently: "You died for me once, so don't worry."
Just as Xia Chuhe's heart, which had been pounding from the winter seedling destruction, finally settled down, he added, "However, don't forget, we are still competitors now."
Winter destroyed seedlings: "..."
The disappearance of Lu Lei and Dong Er, the two purification workers, did not have a significant impact on the workers at the Temple of Heaven. In fact, the absence of two people meant less competition.
Only Li Rong, who came from the same breeding room, asked a few more questions. However, apart from learning that Dong Er had died mysteriously, she couldn't find out anything else.
For Li Rong, there was something more important than Lu Lei and Dong Er—how to survive.
Contrary to what she and Li Feng had expected, the work of the purification worker did not involve less contact with the slime; on the contrary, the work of the purification worker became even more inseparable from the slime.
Each purification worker has a small pot for boiling the viscous liquid. Li Rong needs to put the viscous liquid from the bottle into the small pot and boil it continuously. The steam produced during boiling is sucked away by the pipe above, and the residue left in the pot must be separated one by one.
After working in the purification room for a day, Li Rong couldn't take it anymore.
Her face was completely rotten, the corrosive wounds spreading to the bone, a horrific sight, the pain excruciating. Without Li Feng's support and comfort, this pain was magnified a thousandfold.
As long as you take Bru, you will no longer suffer from corrosive injuries, and it may even repair the wound to some extent.
The base salary for purification workers is not low; even with average performance, they can still earn three Blues a day.
On the day she parted ways with Li Feng, Li Rong realized that they had fallen into a trap, a trap from which they could never escape. Some things, once held onto, were no longer meaningful.
The next day, Li Rong appeared at the factory looking radiant. The wounds on her face no longer exposed the bone, and some of the smaller wounds had even completely healed.
Taking Brutus does indeed bring pleasure, great pleasure, and extreme pleasure.
The pain of longing and the underlying worries, like a gentle breeze, create ripples and then dissipate into nothingness.
Meanwhile, a storm was quietly brewing in Taotie City.
A rumor, its origins unknown, quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Taotie City. Everyone was saying—Lord Xia was dead, dead in the Heavenly Sacred Temple.
The rumor was very detailed, with time and place details, making it seem like the truth.
Li Qiusheng, who spent her days in the most bustling places, overheard the conversation between the guests without any surprise. She was so startled that she dropped her plate, spilling the cold rabbit all over the floor, with oil stains splattering onto the guests' shoes.
Li Qiusheng took off running, leaving behind the cursing customer and the bewildered Shanhua who rushed out to clean up the mess.
"Where's the boss? I need to see her!" Li Qiusheng was extremely anxious as Bu Yi stopped him outside the office.
Bu Yi also heard the rumor, and her source was even more reliable and her version more detailed—the information from the higher-ups at the Cape Base was more detailed and accurate, and double agent Wang Mei delivered the news of Xia Chuhe's death immediately.
However, this news differed from the result Bu Yi obtained from asking, and the ability to defy fate was useless, so Bu Yi was more willing to believe that the news was fake.
So she stopped Li Qiusheng: "You can see it just the same even if you're outside the office."
Li Qiusheng stared at Bu Yi, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Tell the boss to give me a reply. If he doesn't, it means the person inside is a fake!"
“The city lord is doing something very important, don’t disturb her.” Bu Yibo remained calm.
"Boss!" Li Qiusheng shouted loudly.
Bu Yi hurriedly tried to cover her mouth, but she easily dodged it.
Li Qiusheng asked fiercely, "Tell me the truth, did the boss go to the Heavenly God Temple? Was that thing inside a fake?!"
Xia Chuhe's delayed reply had already aroused Li Qiusheng's suspicions. If she hadn't already investigated the Heavenly God Temple and discovered that earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a method of entering through magic) was difficult, she would have reluctantly abandoned Xia Chuhe's idea of going alone. However, the rumors circulating today and Bu Yi's evasive attitude made Li Qiusheng suspect that Xia Chuhe had devised another method to enter the Heavenly God Temple.
Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Even if Bu Yi repeats the lie a hundred times, Li Qiusheng won't believe it.
Bu Yi let out a sigh of relief and leaned wearily against the wall. As the only person in the know, she was under immense pressure, waking up eight hundred times a night.
Now that Li Qiusheng has exposed her, it has given her an outlet for her frustration.
"She went, but she'll be fine. I asked her, and she said she'll get what she wants; she's safe. If anything happens to her, I'll trade my life for hers... The most urgent thing is to dispel the rumors and stabilize morale. The higher-ups at Cape Base are discussing this, most likely because they want to use this opportunity to attack Taotie City..."
Bu Yi rambled on and on, her voice growing softer and softer. Rather than explaining to Li Qiusheng, she was more like comforting herself and giving herself instructions.
Li Qiusheng didn't hear what was said after that. She didn't care about the fate of Taotie City; she only cared about Xia Chuhe: "How long has the boss been gone?"
"Nine days have passed."
"Nine days!" Li Qiusheng roared, grabbing Bu Yi by the collar. "She hasn't returned in nine days, and you still dare to say she's safe? What will you give in exchange for her life!"
Bu Yi enhanced his superpower to the point of altering fate at the Happy Five-Star Hotel, a fact unknown to everyone except Xia Chuhe.
Bu Yi repeated, "I have a way, she'll be fine. If you really care about her, then take care of what she wants and don't cause her any trouble. She wants to run Taotie City well, and she wants to obtain the rules of the Heavenly God Temple. The Land of Rules won't invite her in, just like when we were in Dream Chasing City, it took us several days to accidentally enter the Land of Rules."
Li Qiusheng released her, his eyes lowered: "I will wait for seven more days. If there is still no news, I will take those who are willing to come with me to the Temple of Heaven to save her."
"How can you save him?" Bu Yi asked.
"Never mind that."
...
That afternoon, at the height of the rumors, Bu Yi and Xia Chuhe, played by Qianmianren, appeared on the city gate of Taotie City, silently announcing to everyone that City Lord Xia was alive and there was no need to panic. They should just continue living their lives as usual.
The rumors have subsided, but they haven't completely disappeared; a storm is still brewing.
Fortunately, their City Lord Xia did receive an invitation from the Land of Rules and entered the Land of Rules of the Heavenly God Temple together with Dong Huimiao.
