Chapter 849: Chapter 23: Xie Xiaochan, I, Xu Shu, Acknowledge You as the Strongest!

Huh?

Is this also a heavenly defiance evaluation?

I… I clearly did nothing, just sighed about how precious time is…

Curling up inside the womb, Xu Shu was slightly stunned, somewhat surprised.

These days, he’s been trapped in the Wa Palace by this old woman, unable to get out, unable to get in, racking his brains just to get a heavenly defiance evaluation.

Today, just entering and seeing that XX bamboo still bathing there, not afraid of scrubbing her skin off, he thought he would return empty-handed this time.

Who would have thought, sometimes you can’t force things to work, and they unexpectedly turn out perfectly without trying.

Could it be that he could directly Tang Ying this time?

Yet, not necessarily.

Getting a heavenly defiance evaluation allows for a reward level upgrade, indeed a good start.

But it may not necessarily result in a legend.

If the basic reward this time is only at the superior level, then with the boost from the heavenly defiance evaluation, it only rises back to the epic level.

After all, Wang Teng’s three life grids are purple, gold, and red, and he received a purple Mystical Chapter last time. Although he’s been easily getting epic-level rewards recently, such things are not guaranteed.

But on the other hand, if he manages to leave Xie Xiaochan’s body this time and mess around a bit, then today’s legendary Mystical Chapter is almost guaranteed.

The opportunity is rare, maybe he should take a risk and sneak out to try?

[As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. At this moment, you are eager to break free from the maternal body and venture into the colorful world…]

Looking at the illusory words in front of him, Xu Shu was indeed a bit tempted.

But after pondering for a while, he ultimately cautiously abandoned the idea of emerging.

Xie Xiaochan’s master has been watching here all along, her senses are very keen. If he shows up, he definitely won’t escape detection.

If she’s caught him, he’d be refined instantly, and his Wang Teng character would be gone.

This is currently his only Dao Mark and the second-highest quality legend life grid!

— The first is the Taboo Level “Extermination of Immortals 24”, but it cannot be used as a Dao Mark, and because its rating is too high, he can only look but not use it. So rounding up, “Curse Fetus Wang Teng” is still Xu Shu’s most valuable alt.

“Can’t be hasty, can’t be hasty, small impatience spoils great plans, take the long view, proceed step by step for the best strategy!”

“Humph, foolish Tai Chu Scroll, almost misled me. Haven’t you heard of enduring hardships to achieve success? Big achievers endure what others cannot!”

Xu Shu suppressed that impulse, calmed down with a peaceful mindset.

However, the formerly charming face and enticing figure of XX bamboo, in his eyes, became all the more unsightly, turning into a hateful old woman.

Even the Tai Chu Scroll was scolded by Xu Shu.

He continued to lie dormant, silently watching his master as she scrubbed time and stroked the hills.

Truly a naturally kind-hearted good fetus.

Time flies, and it’s unclear how long it passed, Xu Shu sensed a cracking sound like an egg breaking around him.

He looked towards the sound and found Xie Xiaochan’s brows trembling slightly, and the cocoon enveloping her also quivering, seemingly about to break open.

“Oh, could it be the seven-day period has arrived, and Xie Xiaochan is about to break through?”

Xu Shu’s heart stirred, yet suddenly the surroundings became pitch black, and he felt like he had fallen into an unfathomably deep abyss.

In that instant, time as precious as gold disappeared from sight; he couldn’t smell, couldn’t taste. Only vague laughter could be heard at his ears.

This bizarre situation lasted just a brief moment before returning to normal.

What appeared before Xu Shu were pavilions and terraces, skyscrapers, subways, cars, caves, secret passages, and also balmy riverbanks and bustling commercial streets.

The world seemed to be pieced together from disjointed parts, each fiercely incongruent with the next, making his head spin.

If not for the Tai Chu Scroll providing guidance at his side, he would have nearly believed his legend had ended, that he had returned to Penglai District, back to his new home — indeed, even such bizarre scenes could relate to reality, specifically the D9B3 Safe Zone: Bai Yujing!

Reality is more magical than fiction.

However now, Xu Shu’s legend had not ended but rather he entered a special place: Xie Xiaochan’s “Subconscious World”.

[Ah, Xie Xiaochan’s mindset was touched, her spirituality intertwined, and your consciousness entered a special location, her subconscious world.]

[The Subconscious World is the most independent and secretive place for any life, representing the existence of its own will, a place no one else can enter.]

[Yet, you can directly enter Xie Xiaochan’s Subconscious World, striking at the soul — truly a mother-child bond!]

[In this pieced-together world, you discovered seven brides of varying sizes and postures—

[A starving beggar; a seductive athlete;]

[A jealous little girl; an aloof big sister;]

[Also, a sleepy female driver, a two-faced real estate agent, and even a furious drop-out arising in rebellion… Bizarre and countless.]

“What the hell, seven Xie Xiaochan? No, not seven, but seven types, and each type spanned countless Xie Xiaochans!!!”

Xu Shu widened his eyes, this time he decided to give the Tai Chu Scroll another heavenly defiance evaluation.

Though each has its own uniqueness, identity, character, and behavior, there’s no doubt every woman present is a Xie Xiaochan.

They live in mutually connected yet stylistically different fragments of the world, independent yet intersecting, like a series of vignette dramas, dazzling and bewildering.
