CHAPTER 440: CHAPTER 255: SITTING ON PINS AND NEEDLES, FEELING LIKE A RADIANCE IN THE BACK...

"Dong dong dong..."

The tremors of the ground tugged at a certain fragile little heart.

Qin Shou watched with wide eyes as the supposedly shy young maiden... well, let’s just assume she’s still a maiden.

The massive body of the maiden timidly hid behind the old giant, following in the elder’s footsteps, gradually approaching Qin Shou.

At this moment, Qin Shou was filled with a mix of emotions and instinctively staggered back.

You... stay back!

Meanwhile, the trio of Abu, Hu Dan, and Da Bao were gazing at the approaching strong maiden with infatuated looks.

"It’s Yue’er, she’s walking towards us."

"Don’t talk nonsense, it’s me, not us!"

"Tch, it’s me, after all, my battle armor looks the best!"

"Hmph, red battle armor? Mine is pure silver, way better looking!"

"No no no, my armor is the thickest and the best-looking..."

"Quiet, Yue’er and the village chief are coming over, damn, I forgot to brush my teeth today..."

The three hurriedly patted the dust off their armor, flashing the most standardized smiles, preparing to go forward and greet.

Da Bao stepped forward first, "Village chief, Yue’er, you..."

"Scram!" The village chief expressionlessly pushed the incoming Da Bao aside.

Seeing this, Hu Dan felt elated, thinking, the main character must be me!

"Village chief..."

"Scram!"

"All right then..."

Hu Dan sullenly made a U-turn.

Abu was overjoyed in his heart, that person must be me!

"Village chief, Yue..."

"Scram!"

"All right then..."

Abu did not hesitate in his steps, lowered his head, and came to stand by Da Bao and Hu Dan.

In their disappointment, the three looked at Qin Shou with eyes full of envy.

"Turns out they came to find Brother Aladdin, how enviable..."

"Yeah, only someone with a kind heart like Brother Aladdin would be worthy of Miss Yue’er."

"Alas, we have no hope."

"Yeah, Yue’er’s pectoral muscles are so extravagant, I wish I had them..."

"Da Bao, do not covet the wife of a fellow brother, Brother Aladdin considers us family, you mustn’t have these improper thoughts."

"I was wrong..."

...

Qin Shou turned his head to look at the three, hoping desperately that these big fools would hurry and rush over to do what background characters were supposed to do.

I promise, I absolutely won’t compete with you guys for attention.

I’ll honestly apologize and vow never to appear in front of you again, not disturbing your happy lives.

But seeing the three giving him a look of encouragement, Qin Shou was exasperated.

This batch of background characters is too unprofessional.

"Whew..."

The wind whistled, and the old man, standing over sixty meters tall, was already positioned in front of Qin Shou.

"Haha, this young lad is lavish with his spending, clearly not from an ordinary family background. Would you care to pay a visit to my humble dwelling for a conversation? I have some business I’d like to discuss with you."

The elder invited warmly, while Yue’er behind him peeked out coyly, shyly sizing up Qin Shou... as well as the golden armor on Qin Shou’s body.

Business?

Buy and sell by force?

Qin Shou was alert, waving his hand, "Esteemed elder, I have urgent matters at hand and must depart immediately, I’m afraid I might disappoint you."

With that, he was about to bid farewell.

"Wait a minute, Brother Aladdin, since the village chief is inviting, you needn’t come to us."

Abu interrupted suddenly, with a look of "We understand" on his face.

Da Bao and Hu Dan immediately stepped forward as well.

"Yeah, Brother Aladdin, going to the village chief’s house is a big deal."

"That’s right, Brother Aladdin, we all support you, you gotta go for it!"

The three wore earnest expressions, enthusiastically cheering Qin Shou on.

Brother Aladdin is truly sentimental, to think he would turn down the village chief and Yue’er’s invitation for our sake, so touching...

Qin Shou’s face darkened, these three fools are ruining my grand plans!

The aesthetics of the Giant God Race are truly... unique.

Immediately, his expression changed, and he exclaimed.

"Oh no, I forgot to remind them about the battle armor’s manual, I need to..."

"Snap!"

Before Qin Shou could turn around, the old man’s huge palm slapped down on his shoulder, like a heavy mountain looming overhead, rendering him completely immobile.

At least a giant of the Unbreakable Realm Six Stars!

Qin Shou’s heart trembled, indeed, this elder’s strength was extraordinary.

How could such a remote place have a powerhouse above Unbreakable Realm Six Stars, what a joke?

Could he be here to retire?

"Haha, young lad, no need to rush off, we’ve hit it off well, and I’d like to have a chat with you!"

The elder maintained a gentle, friendly smile, but in Qin Shou’s eyes, it seemed all too familiar.

Hit it off, isn’t that the idiom he used to hoodwink the three big fools?

This must be what people call karma...

Yue’er gently tugged at the elder’s sleeve from behind.

"Grandpa, ease up a bit, you might break him."

The elder nodded indulgently, "All right, all right, as you wish."

The pressure on the shoulder slightly eased, and Qin Shou, no longer bothering with excuses, resigned himself.

It’s just a visit to someone’s home, big deal, let it be!

Could they possibly force me into submission?

Unless absolutely necessary, Qin Shou wouldn’t reveal the Synthetic Monster on the Giant God Race’s turf.

"Ahem, since the elder is so sincere, I would be honored to accept."

The elder withdrew his hand contentedly, "Hmm, what a polite young man, please, this way."

"After you, please."

"Young lad, please, go first."

"I insist, you first."

"Yue’er, it’s up to you now."

"Sure thing, Grandpa."

Suddenly, Yue’er’s overwhelmingly firm pectoral muscles "affectionately" leaned onto Qin Shou’s arm.

Qin Shou gazed skyward speechlessly, his eyes welling with tears.

Oh heaven, what have I done wrong?

And in Da Bao and the others’ eyes, the envy was palpable.

...

Inside the hollowed-out giant mountain.

Only palm-sized inhabitants settled in the mountain, building homes, forming a small town.
