Chapter 40 Growing Up
Shen Chigui actually killed himself one hundred and thirty-six times?
You really don’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked.
Gu Jinli's expression changed immediately.
Before I counted the number of times, I didn’t realize how miserable I was.
But now that the system has calculated this...
[Gu Jinli, you can make her fall in love with you, and then dump her cruelly. 】
[Don’t you want to see her suffer? Don't you want to see her kneeling down and begging for mercy? 】
[You can play with her feelings, you don't have to be stronger than her. 】
See Chen Chigui kneeling down and begging for mercy?
Playing with Shen Chigui’s feelings?
The temptation was so great that it was hard for Gu Jinli not to be moved.
To be honest, it's not like she hadn't thought about it before, but when she thought about the target being Chen Chigui, Gu Jinli felt a little discouraged.
She had already seen how difficult that person was.
“I don’t think I’ll succeed.”
She admitted: "But I am really interested in what you said."
"I decided to give it a try."
I'm going to die anyway, so it won't be a loss to give Shen Chigui some trouble before I die.
If it succeeds, she can go home.
[Instructions received.]
Locate the target location,
Planning for you...】
Not long after, Gu Jinli received a message from the system, which showed that Chen Chigui's current location was actually in the Demon Realm, and not far from her city.
Gu Jinli: “?”
So was this calculated?
[You can use this Demon Realm selection to get close to the heroine. 】
The system gives its own suggestions.
Demon world selection~
Is it to select a deputy for the Demon Lord?
"Who is the current Demon Lord?"
Gu Jinli suddenly thought of the most important point: "Does she know I'm here?"
[After testing, the probability that the heroine's late return is due to you is only 3%]
[The current Demon Lord is a demon cultivator named Ying Lianrong. She defeated the previous Demon Lord three years ago and became the new Demon Lord. However, because she wears a mask all year round and keeps her whereabouts mysterious, few people in the demon world have seen her true face.
After testing, it was found that this person and Shen Chigui have a 91% overlap rate.]
Overlap rate 91%
What's the difference between this and a real hammer?
Gu Jinli's mouth twitched.
"I see."
She knew what she should do now.
-
-
The Demon Realm selection takes place every other year.
In this place where the strong prey on the weak, life is the least valuable thing.
Working under the Demon Lord is also an extremely high-risk job. In order to ensure a constant supply of fresh blood and monitor the growth of each place, there is a selection process every two years.
In the demon world, such activities are very popular in order to prove one's strength and status.
"I'm leaving now."
After making up his mind, Gu Jinli immediately took action.
The selection for this session has just begun, so you can still keep up if you go now.
"Ari~Ari, take me with you!"
"I want to accompany Ari too~"
"Ari Ari~"
…
When the treasures living in the same yard heard that Gu Jinli was leaving, they all came up to her impatiently and expressed their wishes.
After spending so much time together, they have become inseparable from the gods.
"You stay."
Bending down to pack two pieces of clothes, Gu Jinli said, "I'm going to fight and can't take care of you, but I promise you, I will come back if I have the chance later."
“No no no~”
"There is no chance now! Ahri, please don't abandon us."
"Ari Ari~ Take us with you! We can take care of ourselves!"
…
These treasures are already adept at pestering the gods and acting like spoiled brats.
They have long known how soft-hearted Gu Jinli is.
The gods are reluctant to blame them.
“…”
I am really going to be defeated.
Gu Jinli took out the little bell that was rubbing against her from her arms, lowered her eyes and pinched it, feeling a little soft-hearted.
"It would be very stuffy staying in the storage bag," she sighed.
-
In the end, they took them all away.
Gu Jinli used a storage bag to take away the treasure that had always been with her. Before leaving, she went to Granny Lin's butcher shop and expressed her intention to temporarily close the business.
But after learning that she was preparing to participate in the Demon Realm selection, Granny Lin naturally gave her full support and expressed her love for her.
"A person as outstanding as Ah Li should go out and try his luck."
"Take these with you. They are also a token of my mother-in-law's love."
Under the gratified gaze of Grandma Lin, Gu Jinli was stuffed with a handful of meat and set off.
*
This year's selection for the demon world had only just begun for half a month. The city where Gu Jinli was located was very close, and by the time she rushed over, it was almost halfway through.
Compared to the world of cultivation, the demon world does not have so many rules. To sum it up in one sentence, whoever has the bigger fist wins.
"Hey new guy, you don't have a chance to play today, wait until tomorrow!"
The selection location is in the city where the Demon Lord is located. The city is very close to the world of cultivation, and it can be said to be on the edge of the world of cultivation and the demon world.
Therefore, there is a huge flow of people coming and going. When the selection process comes, many people from the cultivation world will come, and some will even secretly disguise themselves to participate.
But the demon world has always turned a blind eye to these things.
In this place where strength is respected, origin and purpose are secondary.
"knew."
Taking the registration badge from the registrant, Gu Jinli pulled the scarf around her chin and left silently.
Before leaving, she specifically looked up at the 'competition arena' not far away, which was also where she would compete tomorrow.
The place was filled with formations and barriers, and the occasional flashes of light inside were enough to show how fierce the battle was.
But it is true that holding such a dangerous activity in a city with a huge flow of people does require the protection of a barrier.
…
Because she arrived a little late, most of the inns in the main city were booked. Gu Jinli looked around and even the teahouse was crowded.
In the end, she had no choice but to leave the city and find a place to hide outside.
At this moment the advantage of carrying various treasures with her was apparent, whether it was chairs, sheets or cushions, she carried them all with her.
While there is no one around, it's a good time to let it out for some fresh air, and this night doesn't seem so unbearable.
The next morning, Gu Jinli packed up her things and returned to the city.
Holding the sign in her hand, she entered the barrier together with a group of demon practitioners who were participating in the selection.
But after she entered the barrier, she discovered that there was another world inside.
The 'competition arena' within the barrier is much larger than it appears from the outside.
This is a place very similar to a colosseum, with densely packed spectator stands all around it, and the empty space in the middle is the stage for those who are participating in the selection.
The demon world obviously doesn't care that much about rules. They let all participants enter the "arena" like raising poisonous insects, and the one who survives is the final winner.
This simple and crude method made Gu Jinli feel dazed, as if she had relived the time when they were in Gu City.
Could it be that everyone in this world has the same brain circuits?
“Is this your first time attending as well?”
Maybe it was because Gu Jinli's expression was too hard to describe, a burly cultivator nearby came over and asked, "Human cultivator?"
"Um."
Nodding as a response, Gu Jinli pulled her scarf, hiding half of her face, looking like she didn't intend to talk more to anyone.
"Why are you hiding? This is my first time participating too. We can work together."
Perhaps because Gu Jinli was too thin, the cultivator immediately felt confident and said, "I am a cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, and I am here to participate in the selection..."
"Make way."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by someone walking over from behind. Several people in black robes walked over.
They came directly in front of Gu Jinli and said to her, "Miss Gu, the elder wants to see you."
Elder?
"I don't know any elders. You've got the wrong person."
Frowning, Gu Jinli took two steps back and kept some distance.
"Miss Gu's sword is very special."
The man said, "Please don't make it difficult for us."
After saying that, he looked like he was ready to take action.
"The selection is about to begin."
Her sword?
Elder?
Could it be Shen Chigui?
I can only think of her. This way of taking people away in public is indeed that person's style.
Gu Jinli pursed her lips and finally agreed.
"Lead the way."
She pulled her scarf and followed silently.
…
From the fighting arena to the audience seats, through the audience seats, and out of the barrier.
Gu Jinli was taken directly to the yard next door and placed in an empty room.
"Please wait a moment, Miss Gu."
After leaving these words, those people quickly disappeared.
Suddenly, Gu Jinli was the only one left in the room. She looked around and found that the room was unexpectedly large.
In addition to the bed, table and chairs, there is actually a place like a hot spring pool in the inner room.
The luxurious style was overwhelming, and Gu Jinli’s brows became more and more furrowed.
After a while, the bored Gu Jinli finally waited for someone.
With a creaky sound, a slender figure walked in from outside the door.
She was wearing a red robe with patterns outlined in gold thread, which added a touch of nobility to her.
He was wearing a pitch-black mask that covered almost his entire face except for his mouth and jaw.
Her temperament is elegant and mysterious, and her every move is as smooth as flowing water.
But it only took one glance for Gu Jinli to recognize it.
This is Shen Chigui.
"Look what I found."
As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to Gu Jinli. Chen Chigui behaved very familiarly, as if they had never been separated in the past ten years.
"Isn't this my sister~"
Seems a bit impatient.
She came in front of her, and without waiting for Gu Jinli to speak, she lazily stretched out her hand and pinched the other's chin.
At this time, the two people were one tall and one short, one standing and the other sitting. It was unclear who was more convenient with such a distance.
"Shen Chigui."
Although I had thought about meeting that person a long time ago, it was a bit unexpected that he would appear in front of me so soon.
Gu Jinli's gaze fell straight on the other person, and she subconsciously looked her around.
This person has grown up.
Although the facial features cannot be seen clearly due to the mask, this body is much more beautiful than before.
It is the kind of beauty that is slender but very powerful.
She looked very tall, much taller than himself, and as straight as a bamboo.
"What are you looking at~"
How could someone who has reached Shen Chigui's level not notice the other person's sight?
Even if Gu Jinli just glanced at it casually, she would not ignore it at all.
"Sister has become more beautiful."
This is the affirmation given by Shen Chigui.
Compared to ten years ago, Gu Jinli is no longer as immature and fragile as before. Her facial features have fully developed, soft yet tough.
It's like a bunch of plum blossoms blooming quietly in the snow, which makes people's heart beat faster just by looking at it.
So beautiful~
I really want to crush it directly~
