Chapter 16: Don't rush in the middle



Xiao Jun noticed that the atmosphere was not right and wondered why his father did not seem happy at all.

Looking at the other side, the big rooster opened and closed its wings, as if it was clapping, so Wei Sushen clapped his hands.

Pa pa pa.

The applause was like a slap on the face, loud and painful.

Wei Sushen: "I admit that the Xiao family is indeed powerful."

Xiao Jun thought that when they first met, Xiao Qi had made a sarcastic remark about the strength of the Xiao family, and he was so ignorant that he made a bet with his father. Now that he lost the bet, he also acknowledged the Xiao family.

"Father, you are killing two birds with one stone." Seeing that Xiao Zhitong looked unhappy, Xiao Jun said some compliments to please him.

Before he could finish his words, he was swept into the corner by a gust of wind.

Touching the wound, Xiao Jun rubbed it gently in pain, not understanding why his father suddenly attacked him.

Fang Shan froze in his tracks as he looked at Xiao Jun with a look of deep emotion.

Kill two birds with one stone?

Tsk tsk...that's quite a statement.

Xiao Zhitong said coldly: "Remember what you promised before."

Wei Sushen nodded: "I can go back to the Xiao family at any time, remember to prepare the resources."

Precious cultivation resources cannot be bought back no amount of money, so from the very beginning, he was prepared to take this shortcut.

Xiao Zhitong's mouth twitched, and he was completely certain that everything was planned.

Wei Sushen: "Where is that little boy?"

Xiao Zhitong: "I have asked someone to send him back to Miaojiang."

Wei Sushen frowned slightly but didn't say much.

A child whose parents have both passed away is bound to suffer when he goes to a strange place. Although the youngest child is innocent, his sense of right and wrong has obviously been confused. If he continues to stay here, he may follow his mother's old path.

There was only one day left until the seventh day, but this time, Wei Sushen received the notification that the task was completed in advance.

【Task progress: completed ahead of schedule.】

Rating: Superb. Killing the Miaojiang Gu Woman with a Borrowed Knife grants an additional 7 Spiritual Power points, for a total of 23.

Reward: One Gu worm.

Wei Sushen clicked on the '+' and a detailed introduction about the poisonous insect popped up.

Type: Undead insect.

Characteristics: Love life, love handsome men.

Breeding method: Likes to eat moths.

Function: Mucus can promote wound healing.

Fang Shan feigned surprise, "It's good for wounds, awesome!"

You deserve to be a wet nurse for the rest of your life.

Wei Sushen's dark gaze swept over, and Fang Shan shut up tactfully. The arc of his smile turned his pointed mouth into something strange—

With his unremitting efforts, he is finally going to train the host into a qualified healing priest.

Wei Sushen knew very well that he had ulterior motives, so he sneered and said nothing more.

Xiao Zhitong did not stay overnight and specially booked a hotel. Maybe he was really angry.

Xiao Jun hesitated to speak, but still followed.

As soon as they left, Wei Sushen clicked 'yes' on the 'accept' column, and a fat bug immediately appeared on the table.

Fang Shan flew over and flicked it with his claws.

Seeing his expression, Wei Sushen couldn't help but remind him: "Stop eating."

The rooster disappeared and transformed into a handsome young man: "I'm not a real chicken."

The undead insect was not at all shy and took the initiative to crawl towards Fang Shan, rubbed against him, and then crawled to Wei Sushen's hand and continued to rub against him.

Thinking of the words "love life, love handsome men" mentioned in the introduction, Wei Sushen suddenly felt a headache.

In most cases, Fang Shan was reliable. He pulled out a small jar like magic and said, "Put it in there."

There was only a tiny gap at the top, so Wei Sushen opened it and took a look: "Will he suffocate?"

Fang Shan: "Don't worry, this is a jar specifically for breeding poisonous insects."

The undead insect really likes the claustrophobic environment inside. It has a very lively personality and keeps moving around.

Fang Shan: "Give it a name. The immortal bug is very intelligent. Call it a few times and it will remember it."

Wei Sushen didn't think for long before making a decision: "Call him Ershan."

Fang Shan glanced at him unkindly: "Are you calling me stupid?"

Wei Sushen smiled and said, "Then call her Shanshan."

Dazzled by the momentary smile, Fang Shan no longer objected to the name and went to boil water and make tea himself, as if he wanted to chat for half the night.

When the aroma of tea filled the air, he slowly spoke: "Now we can talk about how to leave this world."

Wei Sushen's expression changed, but he didn't interrupt.

"So far, you've got two good things: the Rejuvenation Technique and the Gu worm." Fang Shan paused. "Using Xiao Zhitong to deal with the Miaojiang Gu women is the best way. Gu women are very capable. I almost died at the hands of a Gu woman before... Let's guess what impact dying in a certain world would have on reality."

Wei Sushen said calmly, "First of all, I believe I won't die. Secondly, even if I do die, the worst that can happen is that I won't live in the real world. Only mediocre people would seek trouble for themselves."

Fang Shan praised: "That's right. But if you die in the mission world, you're really dead. You still have to be vigilant."

Wei Sushen nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Fang Shan brought the topic back: "There's a chance you can bring both of these things back to the real world, but you can only choose one at most. If you bring too many, you'll be rejected by the rules of this world."

Wei Sushen continued to nod.

"As for how to leave this world, it's up to you. Generally speaking, you can choose to leave after completing three tasks."

Wei Sushen showed some interest: "Can I keep it forever?"

Fang Shan smiled a bit mischievously: "I guess you've also discovered that every time you complete a task, you have the chance to get some good stuff, and the stuff will only get better and better."

Take the comparison between the Rejuvenation Technique and the Gu worm. While the technique is more valuable in the long run, further advancement requires a constant supply of spiritual energy. Once back in the real world, without spiritual energy, the technique becomes useless. On the other hand, the Gu worm is more convenient to carry and can even save lives in critical moments.

Fang Shan: "If you want to get something better, you can keep completing quests until you are satisfied."

Wei Sushen was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. His low laugh was very magnetic: "How did all the hosts you have led die?"

Fang Shan's eyes darkened: "They are still alive."

Wei Sushen's smile softened, with a playful air that seemed to be neither a smile nor a joke.

Fang Shan sighed, "You guessed right. Most of them are already dead."

Everyone has selfishness and greed. Even a very upright person has his own ambitions. This ambition is not necessarily for himself. It may be the hope that there will never be a war, or that there will be no more human traffickers in the world, etc.

Everyone has something to seek.

"I once led an exceptional host, truly exceptional. To describe him as incredibly talented wouldn't be an exaggeration. He had a younger brother with a congenital heart disease. Later, we entered a world where technology and medicine were highly advanced. He braved danger, constantly completing quests, trying to find a way to prolong his brother's life."

Wei Sushen: "What happened next?"

While asking the question, I actually had a vague answer in my heart.

Fang Shan lowered his eyes and said, "I did find a way, but it's a pity that I didn't bring him out alive."

Wei Sushen subconsciously thought, if one day his parents were seriously ill in bed and existing medicine could not save them, what would he do... Would he also go down the same path?

Fang Shan's tone was very serious. "Let nature take its course. You can force it, but you can't take the attitude of 'I'm lucky if I win, I'm lucky if I lose.' I once led a high school student host. Because the mission went so smoothly, he eventually became obsessed with world domination. Now the grass on his grave is taller than a building."

As he spoke, he leaned towards Wei Sushen and said, "At this stage, what wishes do you want to realize?"

Wei Sushen said without hesitation: "Help you quit drinking."

Fang Shan's eyes suddenly widened: "What grudge do I have against you?!"
