Chapter 48 Stone Guanyin
Back at the camp, show off your adventure and hand the quest item to Princess Pipa.
"It's finished so quickly?"
The Pipa Queen found it hard to believe.
How long has it been? Half a day?
As the daughter of the former King of Kucha, Queen Pipa had naturally seen what Andesan and his companions looked like.
The Queen of Pipa took the three blood-dripping cloth bags, opened them, and sure enough, inside were the heads of Andersen and his men.
The Pipa Queen felt a sense of relief. The next moment, a sudden feeling of apprehension arose in her heart.
She gave the Green Reed Fairy Mother before her a deep look, the warnings from Chu Liuxiang and the others flashing through her mind. Ultimately, she did nothing unnecessary.
"Thank you for your help."
The Queen of the Pipa threw Andersen and the others' heads onto the table, then turned around, took out a box, and handed it to Xiu Chuqi.
"This is the agreed-upon compensation."
Show off your amazing encounter! Casually take the box, open it, and you'll find a large box of precious gems inside.
Seeing the words "available for sale to merchants" in the item details, Show Off the Adventurer clicked "sell" without much expectation.
The next moment, a system confirmation message appeared before her eyes.
"Should we sell the 'precious gem' to the merchant for five thousand gold?"
"!!!"
Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he looked in astonishment at the ten ordinary-looking gems in his backpack.
"This thing can actually sell for five thousand gold coins?"
Even those who had never seen such a rare encounter, and whose most valuable possession was a gold ingot worth a thousand gold coins, changed the way they looked at the Pipa Queen.
This is a reward of five bricks!
It even broke the record previously held by the former heir apparent of the Prince of Pingnan, now known as Kunyu Xuanjing.
If the developers hadn't fixed the bug with the favorability items, I would have definitely bought dozens of favorability items to max out the Pipa Queen's favorability immediately!
Having already given up on using the Green Reed Fairy to achieve her goal, the Pipa Queen subtly told the other party to send them away after they accepted the mission reward.
"Chu Liuxiang and the others had something to attend to and left early. Do you want to go after them?"
Why chase after them?
Having already obtained the key item and preparing to reclaim his extraordinary mount, Show Off His Adventure shook his head.
"No, I have my own things to do."
However, mentioning Chu Liuxiang and his extraordinary encounters reminded me of something else.
He dragged a fiery black steed out of the mount bar, showing off his adventure to the wealthy and beautiful NPC, the Pipa Queen.
Want to buy a top-quality horse? I'll sell it to you cheap.
He left the camp with thirteen empty mount slots and two extra bricks worth six thousand gold, showing off his adventure and retrieving the blueprint dropped by the special BOSS.
"Shi Guanyin's Home: A special home blueprint that allows you to change your home skin to match Shi Guanyin's style after loading."
"The BOSS can actually drop blueprints?" This is the first time I've ever seen a BOSS drop like this.
Upon entering the homestead, I greeted Kunyu Xuanjing, showed off my adventure to load it into the game, and was pleasantly surprised to find that my homestead had transformed into a landscape of craggy rocks.
Upon entering, one discovers a hidden world within.
It has everything: hot springs, gardens, rockeries, villas, and basements.
The only drawback is that there aren't many flowers in the garden yet, and there's no wishing tree in this blueprint.
"It's okay, just leave it to me."
Kunyu Xuanjing looked at Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter with fondness and spoke gently.
Having long been accustomed to the way Kunyu Xuanjing looked at him, he didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Leaving your home, you'll discover a serendipitous encounter that unlocks another loot item from a special NPC: an unnamed route map.
Although there was no system explanation for this, Showing Off the Adventure still led to the discovery of a symbol in a corner that was identical to the blueprint for Shi Guanyin's home.
Click to use.
Sure enough, the status of the side quest for the previously obtained mount was updated, and a target point appeared on the map.
Showing off his extraordinary adventure and displaying his superb light-footed skills, he hurried towards his destination.
Standing before a valley filled with jagged rocks, a smile appeared on Xiu Youqi's lips.
She knew this must be Shi Guanyin's lair, because the place looked exactly like the blueprint for her homeland that she had just loaded.
After meditating to fully restore his energy, he showed off his extraordinary ability and took a few steps back, leaving enough space for himself to rise. Then, with a forward dash, he once again used his great lightness skill.
This deadly valley, which had trapped countless people, was thus crossed by Xiu's extraordinary adventure.
The Stone Guanyin, who painstakingly designed this valley, could never have imagined that someone could fly through the air and land silently in her lair.
At this moment, Shi Guanyin was admiringly watching Chu Liuxiang.
"You are indeed the most handsome and charming man I have ever met."
Chu Liuxiang was not as happy as Shi Guanyin.
He looked at the stunning beauty reflected in the mirror; she was clearly no longer young, yet there wasn't a trace of time on her.
But he dared not appreciate this beauty at all, for beneath this beautiful exterior lay the most wicked heart in the world.
"My companion and I were indeed deceived and unintentionally stumbled into your esteemed place. Please allow us to leave."
Shi Guanyin seemed not to hear Chu Liuxiang's refusal.
She walked gracefully to the magnificent mirror, gazing intently at her reflection, which was even more beautiful than before.
“This is not a place where you can come and go as you please.”
Hu Tiehua, who was standing behind Chu Liuxiang, was impatient and couldn't help but ask.
"Then what will it take for you to let us leave?"
Shi Guanyin did not answer, but instead turned around and smiled sweetly at them.
No man in the world can resist such a charming smile.
Satisfied with the amazed looks in Chu Liuxiang's and the others' eyes, Shi Guanyin was even more pleased with the Green Reed Fairy Mother who had suddenly appeared in the desert.
If it weren't for her magical face-shaping card, how could she have rediscovered the joy of youth?
While Chu Liuxiang and the others were still in a daze, Shi Guanyin slowly spoke.
"Letting you leave isn't impossible, but you have to do one thing for me."
"What is it?" Chu Liuxiang asked warily, already prepared to turn hostile at any moment.
“It’s not a difficult matter.” Shi Guanyin said with a light smile, “I just want Chu Xiangshuai to ask Green Reed Fairy Mother for something for me. Until the thing is returned, your two friends can stay with me.”
Why don't you ask her for it yourself?
Shi Guanyin sighed: "I had a small misunderstanding with the Green Reed Fairy Mother before, and I'm afraid she won't be willing to do business with me anymore."
"If even Madam couldn't accomplish this, how could I possibly be capable of doing it?" Chu Liuxiang politely declined.
“You can,” Shi Guanyin turned to look at Chu Liuxiang, “Green Reed Fairy Mother has always only made deals, yet she gave you three peerless steeds.”
"If there is anyone in this world who can get what I want from her, that person will only be you."
Chu Liuxiang was surprised that Shi Guanyin even knew about this matter.
When the Green Reed Fairy gifted the horse, there was clearly no one else around, and they never publicized the matter. The fact that Stone Guanyin could even find such a secret meant her power in the desert was probably greater than he imagined.
Chu Liuxiang sighed. It seemed unlikely that he would leave this place alive today.
“Since Madam also knows that Green Reed Fairy Mother is my friend, then she should also know that I, Chu, would never scheme against my friends.”
"You didn't even ask me what I wanted?" Shi Guanyin asked, somewhat surprised.
"No need to ask," Chu Liuxiang replied frankly, "Since the Green Reed Fairy Mother is unwilling to give you the item, then I, Chu, will absolutely not force my friend."
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of losing my principles."
"For the sake of mere principles, you don't even care about the lives of these two friends beside you?" Shi Guanyin was somewhat annoyed.
“Chu Liuxiang has his own principles, do you think we don’t?” Hu Tiehua interjected.
Shi Guanyin's gaze swept over Ji Bingyan.
Ji Bingyan picked up the judge's pen again.
"I'm a businessman, so naturally I have to value my reputation even more."
"Very well, very well!" Shi Guanyin laughed in exasperation. "You are all doing very well."
"It seems that Xiang Shuai has lived in the Central Plains for too long and is unaware of my abilities. Today I will show you what happens if you offend me."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to attack.
Chu Liuxiang was already prepared for Shi Guanyin to turn on him, and he raised his hand to block the attack.
Seeing this, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan behind him also picked up their weapons and attacked.
The three were all highly skilled individuals, and their combined strength was even greater. However, when facing Shi Guanyin, they gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.
Chu Liuxiang then understood why Shi Guanyin was able to make such a name for herself alone in the desert.
But by then it was too late to find out.
The four attacked with incredible speed, exchanging over three hundred blows in a short time. As Shi Guanyin's attacks became faster and faster, while his own counterattacks became slower and slower, fine beads of sweat appeared on Chu Liuxiang's nose.
Reaching out to block a deadly attack for Hu Tiehua, Chu Liuxiang was knocked back to the magnificent mirror.
"Mirror?"
A sudden thought flashed through Chu Liuxiang's mind, recalling the scene they had witnessed when they inadvertently stumbled into the secret chamber.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Liuxiang shattered the priceless mirror.
"You!" Shi Guanyin exclaimed in fury, "You deserve to die!"
Shi Guanyin, who thought she would be defeated along with the mirror, not only did not fall into a trap, but was instead aroused to kill.
Just as her deadly move was about to strike Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan were unable to stop her and shouted in terror to leave.
"No!"
"Sword Heart Clarity, you must stop!"
A familiar voice rang out, and Shi Guanyin's killing move actually stopped.
Chu Liuxiang seized the opportunity to spin around and create distance.
Shi Guanyin was horrified to find that she had been struck by something, which not only interrupted her killing move but also suddenly rendered her unable to use her internal energy.
Taking advantage of Chu Liuxiang and the others retreating, Shi Guanyin also quietly took a step back.
She soon discovered in despair that even though she was more than ten body lengths away, the Green Reed Fairy's skills could still hit her.
"This is a misunderstanding..."
Although she has dominated the desert for more than a decade, Shi Guanyin has never been one to bend down.
"I am willing to offer the ghost ship to the Fairy Mother, and there is more..."
Before she could finish speaking, the attacks from the show's extraordinary encounter came one after another.
Even though she was filled with remorse for offending Xiu Chuqi for the sake of a mere ship, Shi Guanyin knew that she had no way out.
No longer backing down, Shi Guanyin's eyes sharpened, and she went to meet them again.
Relying on his graduation outfit and the specially changed Dragon Blood Sharpening Stone, he showed off his extraordinary encounter and directly stood and fought the BOSS.
In just two minutes, the legendary woman Shi Guanyin vanished before everyone's eyes.
