CHAPTER 672: CHAPTER 542 LITTLE WU! LITTLE WU!

Virtual World.

Cuiyun Mountain.

West Queen Mother Temple.

Atop the altar, Wu Xiaode opened his eyes.

"Back already?"

In the main hall, a woman suddenly turned back to look at him.

It was Jiang Shanglan.

Wu Xiaode nodded, attempting to move, but found himself wrapped in a layer of light.

"Don’t panic, this is my technique. It can ensure that you remain outside the ’Virtual World.’ That way, the old blind man won’t notice you’ve returned,"

Jiang Shanglan said.

Old blind man?

Wu Xiaode’s face showed a puzzled expression.

"Little Wu, that power you used to remove the curse for me, it originally came from the great tomb world, didn’t it?"

Jiang Shanglan asked with a serious expression.

Wu Xiaode began, "Yes, at that time—"

"No need to say more," Jiang Shanglan interrupted him, speaking rapidly, "The old blind man is the guardian of the great tomb world. You stole his ’Heavenly Tao Power’ core, incorporating it into your own world. He has already pursued you to the ’Virtual World.’"

"His strength is extremely terrifying; even at my peak, I may not be able to beat him."

"Now, there are two paths you can take."

"First, don’t move from the altar. I’ll go and complete some tasks at Naihe Bridge for you, to buy you some time—you should lay low for now and not come back;"

"Second, the old blind man and his subordinate, the Mother of All Things, have many ways to search. As long as you’re in the ’Virtual World,’ they will definitely find you, unless—"

Jiang Shanglan’s gaze fell on the pin at Wu Xiaode’s chest and continued, "you borrow the fairy’s power to transform into someone whom he and his subordinates have never seen before to evade their pursuit."

"—Do you understand?"

Wu Xiaode nodded, indicating he understood.

—Delaying time was meaningless.

Staying out of the wind was basically the same as giving up the initiative.

After all, he still had to help Gjestastav lift her seal.

But in the world of the Mother of All Things, the Mother of All Things had seen him take on various identities.

Whether it was Arian or Qilin, she had seen them all.

Demon Davel?

He couldn’t remember.

So, to be on the safe side—

With a thought from Wu Xiaode, rows of ice crystal letters emerged in the Void:

"You have activated the power of the Green Vine Pin."

"Description: Wearing this pin, you will immediately obtain a completely new body, which is that of an enemy you have killed before; you can acquire that enemy’s memories and control this body as if it were your second one."

"You have now gained the designated body."

Wu Xiaode took off the pin and placed it in the Holy Treasure Ring, then shook his body and jumped down from the altar.

"How is it?" he asked in a woman’s voice.

Jiang Shanglan looked at him with an odd expression and after a while murmured, "Many years ago, the Purgatory Demon King unexpectedly perished, declaring that whoever could avenge her could inherit the Purgatory Crown... Was it you who did it?"

"I just got lucky when I killed her," Wu Xiaode sighed.

"Tsk, tsk, truly beautiful. It’s also my first time seeing the true appearance of the Purgatory Demon King," Jiang Shanglan said, eyeing him with interest.

—With eyes full of spiritual energy and magic power, long purple hair, a slim and graceful figure, every move she made charmed all beings.

It was indeed the Purgatory Demon King!

He used a fairy’s green vine brooch to transform into the likeness of the Purgatory Demon King!

"There shouldn’t be any trouble now, right? Whether it’s the old blind guy or the little blind one, they definitely won’t recognize that I am Wu Xiaode—hmph!"

Wu Xiaode curled the corners of his mouth, speaking with full pride.

Jiang Shanglan was speechless.

If they can’t recognize you, they can’t, but why are you twisting your waist like that?

Are you that into character?

"But many years ago, the Purgatory Demon King died, even abandoning her crown, how do you explain that?" Jiang Shanglan asked seriously.

"I’ve given up, whoever wants to deal with Purgatory can go ahead, this Demon King has other aspirations."

Wu Xiaode sat down on the worship platform, casually crossing his legs in a carefree manner, but soon realized that it was somewhat indecent for a female body and had to clasp his legs together.

"May I ask Your Majesty the Demon King, what are Your aspirations?"

Jiang Shanglan sat next to him and asked with amusement.

——What was supposed to be a matter of life and death had turned into this with him.

"I am here to save my sister—ah, my sister is so beautiful and so powerful, yet she’s cursed, I must do my utmost to help her regain her strength," Wu Xiaode cooed.

Jiang Shanglan had a black line on her forehead.

This guy, full of tricks, can he really fool everyone?

"By the way, there are usually tourists in this temple, how come I haven’t seen a single person?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I bought this mountain," Jiang Shanglan stated.

"...Sis, you’re so impressive, um... why do I feel such a headache..." Wu Xiaode held his head, asking in puzzlement.

"You must have accepted her memories—as the Purgatory Demon King, her memories are filled with endless knowledge and secrets, you probably need to rest for a while."

Jiang Shanglan explained.

She waved her hand.

The glow enveloping Wu Xiaode completely disappeared.

The two waited together for several breaths.

There was no movement from the temple or the entire mountain.

"It seems... we really did fool them."

Jiang Shanglan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, my head hurts so much, help me rub it," Wu Xiaode cooed again.

Jiang Shanglan glared at him and spoke irritably, "Don’t even try, the battle for supremacy has already started, and I have to take your place overseeing the matters in the Neutral Zone, there’s so much to do."

Despite saying that, she ultimately reached out and gently rubbed the top of Wu Xiaode’s head.

A shimmer of light fell on Wu Xiaode’s head and shoulders.

The light started kneading.

The temples, neck, cervical spine, and shoulders were continually massaged by the light, which was quite comfortable.

"I’m off to be busy, we’ll have dinner together tonight."

After finishing her words, Jiang Shanglan vanished.

Only Wu Xiaode was left sitting in front of the worship platform.

He fiddled with his purple hair, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

Indeed.

It was truly him who was originally supposed to manage the Neutral Zone in the battle for supremacy.

But as he was busy here and there, Jiang Shanglan took over this important matter, managing it herself.

All thanks to her.

Wu Xiaode, holding his head, sat there slowly assimilating the Purgatory Demon King’s memories, not moving for quite a while.

The mountain was very quiet.

With a mere sense, one could tell that the mountain had been designated as private property; indeed, there were no visitors.

This was much safer than the Virtual World.

But there was still one problem to resolve.

The fluctuations emanating from the Dragon Clan’s Soul Treasure Diamond.

All her powers had been sealed, rendering her unable to help Gjestastav quiet these fluctuations.

If another member of the Dragon Clan showed up to steal the diamond just as she was on the cusp of a breakthrough, that would be ridiculous.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment, then pulled out her cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Satan? See you in a bit, I’m coming to you, need your help with something."

"What? You can’t tell who I am?"

"I’m a mysterious woman."

"Damn it, don’t hang up, it’s me! Bro, it’s a matter of life and death!"

...

Two quarters of an hour later.

The basement of the café.

Satan circled around the Dragon Clan’s Coffin of Slumber Awakening a few times and praised without end, "This thing is hard to get now, where did you get it from?"

Wu Xiaode crossed her arms and "hmmphed", "When have I ever not achieved what I set out to do?"

Satan turned to look at her, his gaze as strange as could be.

"Stop staring," Wu Xiaode transmitted her voice, "I’m getting into the role of a woman to avoid being recognized by that old blind man."

The thought of that old blind man turned Satan’s face green.

"That guy is not on our level. Be careful, or no one can save you," Satan transmitted back.

"Looks like you’ve suffered at his hands?"

"He has this ’Feast’ skill, he can eat you right in front of your eyes. I was lucky Jiang Shanglan came to the rescue; otherwise, he would have eaten me alive."

"That’s terrifying; I need to be careful."

Wu Xiaode casually gestured, and the Book of the Dead immediately opened.

Gjestastav gently hopped down from the last page and landed in front of the two.

"The Awakening Skill is a Causality Law spell unique to the Dragon Clan, which can help me break the seals and restore my memories."

"But during this process, I absolutely cannot be attacked," Gjestastav said.

Wu Xiaode looked toward Satan.

Satan, with a cigar in his mouth, confidently declared, "Don’t worry, this is my territory. I’ve set up the powerful Glittering Array here that can isolate any fluctuations. No one will find this place."

Assured by his guarantee, Wu Xiaode took out three Dragon Clan Soul Treasure Diamonds and embedded them in the indentations on the coffin.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Coffin of Slumber Awakening slowly opened, revealing several beds inside.

Gjestastav hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Then, I’m going in."

"You’ve got this, my dear sister; I’m waiting for you to break all the seals!" Wu Xiaode clenched her little fist and said.

"..." Gjestastav.

"...The Demon King would probably come back from the dead and kill you if she knew you were impersonating her like that," Satan said softly.

"I’ll give it my all, I hope I succeed," Gjestastav said.

She slowly walked into the coffin and lay down on one of the beds.

Boom, boom, boom—

The Coffin of Slumber Awakening slowly closed again.

The three Soul Treasure Diamonds immediately began to resonate and emit a blinding light.

After dozens of breaths, Gjestastav’s cries of grief suddenly echoed from the coffin.

"No... don’t... "

"I don’t want to go through it again... please..."

It sounded as though she was trapped in some sort of dream.

—After all, the Dragon Clan’s powers were awakened through slumber.

"Do you think she can make it?"

Wu Xiaode asked somewhat anxiously.

Satan shook his head and sighed, "It’s unlikely—the Dragon Clan must have made sure to consider all her means when they exiled her, they wouldn’t let her recover."

Wu Xiaode murmured in a low voice, "What to do... "

"Hey, tell me how you managed to beat the Purgatory Queen, that’s just unbelievable," Satan said.

Just as Wu Xiaode was about to speak, another scream rang out from the coffin, followed by continuous sounds of vomiting blood.

Satan pulled out a clean handkerchief and covered his nose and mouth, "That’s the ancient pure Dragon Blood, I’m allergic to that."

"How is she doing?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"—It looks like she’s about to die," Satan said.

Wu Xiaode flipped to the last page of the Book of the Dead, and indeed, Gjestastav’s card was rapidly turning to ash.

Crap!

She can’t die!

I don’t know how to resurrect cards!

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts raced, and suddenly she extended her delicate fingers and tapped on the card.

"Shadow Followers, lend me your Dragon Clan bloodline," she said softly.

In an instant, two lines of ice crystal words appeared:

"Gjestastav is your Shadow Follower; you may borrow her every power."

"You have borrowed the Dragon Clan bloodline from her."

Wu Xiaode paid no mind to the line of words, and struck a heavy blow on the coffin.

Boom, boom, boom—

The coffin opened once more.

Wu Xiaode walked straight in and lay down on another bed next to Gjestastav.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Satan couldn’t help asking.

"Saving her," Wu Xiaode replied, then closed her eyes and said, "Add one more."

Boom, boom, boom—

The coffin closed again.

The world turned dark.

But lines of ice crystal words kept appearing before Wu Xiaode’s eyes:

"You have activated a unique Causality Law technique:"

"If you can’t beat them, join them."

"Since you possess Gjestastav’s Dragon Blood, you can now use the Dragon Clan’s Coffin of Slumber Awakening."

"You have created a 2P player spot in Gjestastav’s Awakening dream."

"You’re about to enter this Awakening dream!"
