CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 23: XIE XIAOCHAN, I, XU SHU, ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS THE STRONGEST!

She furtively followed behind a "Hunger", watching the alluring silhouette of another Xie Xiaochan, and muttered through gritted teeth:

"How is your waist so thin?"

"How are your legs so long?"

"How is your chest so big?"

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you~!"

She cursed while pretending to fall to the ground.

"Hunger" helped her up: "Little sister, are you okay?"

Loli Chan’s eyes shifted, pointing to the secret door of a nearby building, saying: "Sister, I twisted my leg, could you carry me home?"

"Alright then, who could resist when I’m so charming and kind, heh heh~"

"Hunger" picked up "Loli Chan" and headed toward the secret door of the building. As soon as they entered, "Hunger" was instantly knocked unconscious. Several "Insatiable Minds" joined forces to capture her and sold her to a "Arrogant Pride", turning her into a star slave, suffering daily whippings.

And so "Loli Chan" received a meager reward.

...

"...Hiss, give me a moment to process, who is who here?"

Xu Shu couldn’t help but feel confused, glancing at the Tai Chu Scroll’s prompt:

[She is ’Malicious Intent’ Chan!]

One after another, Xie Xiaochan appeared before Xu Shu, with different sights, worlds, stories fleeting before his eyes. The Xie Xiaochans continued to transform, each leading an unrestrained life.

"Seven-color Daoist, Hunger, Arrogant Pride, Insatiable Minds, Starve, Unambitious, Malicious Intent, that’s six of them.

"What’s the last one?"

Xu Shu searched through different compartments, noticing the largest number inside was "Unambitious Chan", followed by "Starve" and "Hunger".

After searching repeatedly, he finally found the last type of Xie Xiaochan.

This was a cell world in the western lot, where Xie Xiaochan faced famine, starving to death, but unlike "Starve", she didn’t beg or grab arbitrary food. Instead, she spontaneously revolted in rage, exclaiming:

"Curse the heavens that provide all to nourish humans, yet humans provide nothing to the heavens. Who gets to decide royalty and nobility, why deny me my share?"

Her thunderous roar resonated for miles, stirring the soul, ceaseless from dawn to dusk.

Heavens, this Xie Xiaochan remarkably stayed enraged for an entire day under extreme fury!

[She is ’Irrepressible Fury’ Chan!]

——

"Oh, my Great Chu Xing Great Western King! I underestimated her; who would have thought she’s even more gifted at creation than me, with such a colorful inner world! I must admit, in the realm of Heavenly Defiance, Xie Xiaochan is no less than me. She truly deserves to be the bride of my Heroic Grass Python!"

Xu Shu marveled, raising his thumb in admiration.

He wandered through various "Subconscious World cells", continually observing Xie Xiaochans both endearing and annoying, quietly waiting for the moment she successfully "breaks free of her cocoon".

He knew that time would not be long, for the cracking sounds of the cocoon breaking from outside grew increasingly distinct.

Rustle~

Rustle~

As the miraculous sound of the cocoon rupture grew louder, almost deafening, Xu Shu suddenly sensed something, and followed the sound to look toward the edge of the Subconscious World.

There lay a layer of white border like a barrier.

At this moment, small protrusions appeared on the thin boundary, as if a cute little hand was poking through with fingers.

Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn’t help but smile.

There’s no doubt, when the finger pierces through this "paper-thin barrier", crossing the final threshold, Xie Xiaochan would triumph magnificently and utterly "emerge as a butterfly".

In the next moment, continuous cracking sounds akin to hailstones reverberated throughout the world.

"Finally breakthrough! Haha, with this, Xie Xiaochan emerges as a butterfly, and I, as the Curse Fetus, will naturally benefit from some of the mother’s shelter, this time’s Mystical Chapter is a sure win, hahaha—"

Amidst the joyful laughter, the protrusions on the white boundary were finally pierced through.

What appeared in the line of sight was a dense swarm of finger-sized white creatures.

"...Eh?"

Xu Shu’s smile suddenly froze, thinking he had imagined it, he focused intently.

And upon closer look, he realized.

Those weren’t white creatures.

But rather, countless sticky, blood-veined, and hole-riddled bizarre worms!

Each had a head with a pair of eyes, a mouth, a nose, looking like shrunk versions of baby faces on worms!

Their numbers were endless, one after the other, detached from the cocoon, scrambling out of the barrier, rushing toward the "Subconscious World cell", fervently and ferociously, like beasts charging toward a cafeteria.

They quickly discovered the Curse Fetus blocking Xie Xiaochan’s Subconscious World, halting their crawling pace..

Numerous eyes with emotions ranging from merciless, cold, filled with anger, arrogance, desire, greed, and more, turned unanimously toward Xu Shu, quietly watching.

Quietly, watching.
