Chapter 360: I Promise Not To Wear GlovesTranslator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Changes came too quickly like a tornado, and the Thai woman was completely caught off guard. She was in extreme rage and unstable after cutting off her arm and didn"t even notice the ground.
The S-cla.s.s members in the distance did notice as their gaze was always on the red flesh, but even if they did notice, they couldn"t stop this sudden ambush in time.
The black tentacles grabbed the tender red meat, descended back into the floor and disappeared.
The Thai woman"s ears twitched and heard a subtle movement of the ground. Following the sound along the ground, she looked somewhere in the distance and saw a young man hidden behind a statue!
The Li family descendant?!
As a master of her caliber with a keen hearing, she realized that the tentacle approached discreetly under the ground when the two parties were locked in battle. The tentacle"s movements were concealed by the movement of the two parties, lurking in the shadows and hidden from everyone.
The point was… How did the Li family descendant appear here?!
“Li Xianyu?” Li Peiyun was confused.
“Why is Li Xianyu here? He didn"t enter the same door as we did.”
“Did someone else put on a disguise to look like him?”
“That"s impossible. The people who entered this door are all here or at the bottom of the pool.”
At this moment, Li Xianyu"s sudden appearance caused confusion, even more so than the seizure of the tender red meat.
With the mud under his feet overturned, the tentacle retracted and turned back into his left hand, holding the tender red meat. Li Xianyu looked down at it and then glanced at the crowd who were incredibly confused.
More than a dozen meters behind him, Cui Hua had transformed into her original form, and a five-meter-long, colorful “giant tiger” spoke. “Pfft, get on!”
She wasn"t speaking to Li Xianyu, but to the five people who followed him. Eric and the others knew it was time to run. The other party had a strong line-up, and they had a horrifying child. If they don"t run, they would probably get eaten up by that child.
The five people immediately climbed on Cui Hua"s back and Li Xianyu rushed over a distance of ten meters and landed on Cui Hua"s back. Cui Hua"s speed was as swift as the wind and in a few strides, ran 100 meters away.
It was exciting to make a run for it after s.n.a.t.c.hing the item.
“@#¥…” The Thai woman cursed. She leaned over and picked up the baby, and gave pursuit furiously.
The Soul Destroying Alliance"s members looked at each other and followed.
G.o.d of War also wanted to give chase. After the fall of the Ancient G.o.ds Clan, he spent several years with the remaining members of the cult, thinking about how they could rise again. He could pay any price for the revival of the Ancient G.o.ds Clan.
However, Li Peiyun cried out to him. “Don"t go after him. You can"t catch up. His cat is extremely fast.”
As his sworn enemy, Li Peiyun had paid attention to and studied Li Xianyu"s “powers”. He knew that all the women around him were masters, and the cat had a very frightening speed, no less than the Wu Family"s speed super power.
Among the people present, no one had super powers related to speed.
G.o.d of War looked in the direction of Li Xianyu"s disappearance, gritting his teeth. “Why is he here?”
Li Peiyun said, “Actually, you should be glad that he had intercepted, otherwise you wouldn"t get that stuff. With Li Xianyu making trouble, we may still have hope. By the way, where did that woman come from? The baby in her arms is terrifying. I feel like it"s even stronger than the Taoist Reverend.”
G.o.d of War huffed and replied, “Holy Infant.”
“Holy Infant?”
“I don"t know how to explain it to you in a summary. You just have to know it"s an extremely terrifying thing,” G.o.d of War said.
The Holy Infant was born in the 1990s for the first time, when the Ancient G.o.ds Clan was at the peak of power. Thailand was not far from China, thus, the Ancient G.o.ds Clan certainly knew about this big event.
At this point, one could guess the baby"s history just with a little a.s.sociation.
“The Holy Infant needs to devour the primordial spirit to evolve, and that woman is perfectly capable of killing all of us, other than the Great Demons" Alliance. But she didn"t do it.” G.o.d of War furrowed his brows.
He had just identified and confirmed that that was the Holy Infant from Thailand, and he was so shocked that cold sweat ran down his back. Along the way, the woman was perfectly capable of killing them all.
“Okay, stop. They can"t catch up.” Li Xianyu instructed Cui Hua to stop.
Cui Hua turned back into her regular human form, and leapt up, hanging herself on Li Xianyu"s shoulder and gasping for breath. She was exhausted, as she sprinted for half an hour straight. She had completely surpa.s.sed her running records.
Furthermore, it was not a straight run. She had to turn several times, and ran in a zig-zag formation to get rid of the others who were pursuing them to prevent them from tracking.
Li Xianyu did not let Cui Hua run back, which would bring danger to Victoria and the others. Cui Hua could not take so many people away.
The other party had a horrifying line-up, and a child who seemed to be a Half-Step Gokudo. If he were to meet up with Victoria and the others, either the entire team would be wiped out, or only the people on Cui Hua"s back would survive.
Li Xianyu ordered the team that was staying in the distance on the walkie-talkie, “Run for your lives.”
He didn"t even have to explain himself. If he were to say that, the senior employees immediately knew that his trouble magnet physique had activated again. Without asking many questions, they simply replied with one word: “Okay!”
This world was so vast that, without his trouble magnet physique, the senior staff should not have had such bad luck that they would be caught by Li Peiyun and the others.
After getting out of the crisis temporarily, he should think about how to settle the stuff in his hand.
Li Xianyu looked down and stared at the tender red flesh and blood tissue. Obviously, this was something of the same nature as Slime, a substance that has evolved from the death of the ancient demon. It was incredibly dangerous.
The reason that he could hold this ancient demon shedding in his hands was that Slime was not afraid of it. The delicate red flesh and blood tissue was held in his palm by Slime, and the two parties were safe and sound, and no mutual devouring occured.
He did not expect to see Li Peiyun and others near the Bronze Palace. He knew that Li Peiyun had a key to the Great Deities Palace, so he was not surprised, but did not expect that he would win over such a large group of high-ranking professionals.
In addition, Li Xianyu saw the Aoki family members. Thinking of it, he had this thing that the Aoki family had been looking for, the source of their species.
“The eight s.p.a.ces really merged,” Li Xianyu said.
Li Peiyun and the others are probably utterly confused, but with their intelligence, it was only a matter of time before they realized this.
“What is this?” Ryder looked at the tender red substance in Li Xianyu"s palm.
Li Xianyu glanced at him and made a move to hand the substance over. “The treasure of the Great Deities Palace. If you enter the Great Deities Palace and obtain the treasure, it should be this. You want it?”
As the substance approached, it sensed Ryder, and the red flesh immediately became active and vigorous, wanting to pounce.
Ryder retreated a few steps in horror and shook his head.
Eric"s glance burned with desire. He wanted it, but he didn"t dare to want it.
They had seen what happened earlier. This substance was dangerous, and they would be devoured if they were to touch it.
“If this item was submitted to the company, it would gain a huge amount of credit points.” Several senior employees were envious, and Li Xianyu was making a big profit again.
The trouble magnet physique brought a huge crisis to him, but it also implied a great benefit.
They had heard the story of Li Xianyu earning two-years worth of senior employee credits in two months. He really earned points by putting his life on the line.
“The Great Deities Palace is not a treasure trove.” A senior employee sighed.
The so-called treasure, which was essentially a relic of the remains of ancient demons trapped in the Great Deities Palace, was a monster, not a treasure.
Ordinary people really had no luck to obtain it. Even those like Demonic Priest had entangled with Slime until his death. He had to contend with it day after day, and not let himself fall to evil or become misguided.
When Li Xianyu obtained Slime, he was almost taken over. Thankfully, he had Great-Grandma. However, how many people in the world was the Demonic Priest and how many was the Li family descendant?
Another ancient demon shedding had fallen in his hands, and Li Xianyu was now considering how to deal with it.
Submitting it to Baoze was the safest, risk-free option and it also offered a huge bonus. Point awards were good things, as he could exchange them for cash, spiritual devices, access to confidential doc.u.ments, and hiring company employees to do things for him.
For example, if he were to want to take a bath with the ladies, there would be a whole bunch of girls who wanted to volunteer. Even if he were to want to have s.e.x, the points could help him. In fact, there was money for s.e.x amongst the staff at the middle and lower levels.
Baoze, of course had prohibited this by law. Once found, employees would be dismissed, each employee"s credit history would be recorded, and giving points without any reason would be investigated.
Li Xianyu gave points to Thunderbolt Battle Lady twice and the two wrote a letter of guarantee. He lent it and Thunderbolt Battle Lady had to return it. They then submitted an application. Even so, Lightning King had reprimanded them over this.
Of course, there was a better way for Li Xianyu to give Thunderbolt Battle Lady points at any time and place, which was to say that the two were in love.
The company did not promote love among employees because the law of “one"s ex is dog s.h.i.+t” could create a gap between lovers who had broken up and undermine solidarity among employees.
However, if they were really in love… the company would not stop them but instead a.s.sign one of the separated lovers and couples to another division.
With policies came ways to bypa.s.s it. If the girls didn"t want points but wanted spiritual devices, they could sell their bodies to serve the male employees, and the male employees could exchange for the spiritual devices to give it to them.
It was also impossible for Baoze to check every employee"s a.r.s.enal of tools, as they would be destroyed in combat. In addition, what one had exchanged belonged to the individual, and Baoze didn"t care how one used it, as long as one didn"t violate the law.
Similar phenomena persisted despite repeated prohibitions. Just like how one could investigate corruption every year but corruption would still happen every year.
If it were converted into points, I would probably be able to take care of my harem for the rest of my life, Li Xianyu thought.
Another option was to take it.
After experiencing the benefits Slime brought, Li Xianyu knew that these were the best upgrades which could significantly reduce the time spent cultivating.
Ever since he entered the demon descendants community, he had been racing against time, fighting to strengthen himself, thinking he could get out of the shadow of his father once the Great Deities Palace had opened.
It seemed less optimistic than he had thought.
The situation behind his father"s successful entry into the Great Deities Palace was complicated, and he was merely a scattered cultivator.
Firstly, the source of the keys. Secondly, the stone door"s blood sacrifice meant that only big organizations could gather. Lastly, his biological father"s death wish, as if he was suicidal.
All the clues were telling him things were not that simple.
To force a Half-Step Gokudo to commit suicide, what kind of force or existence can achieve that? Thinking of this problem, Li Xianyu"s head felt numb.
It"s obviously better to take it as your own than obtain points. Power is the one that reigns. Why don"t I eat it? Li Xianyu thought and suddenly realized the shedding in his palm didn"t seem to speak.
“Slime? Why can"t it talk?”
When he first met Slime in the cave, it was extremely eloquent and had an independent will. However, this shedding in his hand never spoke.
“Its independent will was erased,” Slime replied.
“Will was erased? Who did it? Why didn"t you lose your will?”
“How am I going to know?”
“Then can I erase your will?”
“Oh, little brother, feel free to try.” Slime said with disdain.
Obviously not. If they could erase this guy"s will, Demonic Priest would have done it. Great-Grandma would also have done it. The question is, who wiped out the creature"s will? That was something even Demonic Priest and Great-Grandma wasn"t capable of.
“I want the creature to work for me like you do. Do you have any way?”
“Why should I tell you?”
“If you can provide useful information, I promise not to wear gloves.”
Slime contemplated this, and apparently it was tempted by this benefit.
Wearing gloves caused it to experience discomfort. While it did not cause any material harm, the Thanos glove was manufactured to suppress its ability. Thus, there was a feeling of oppression, and it made him feel uncomfortable.
It was just like when people were tied up, they would naturally feel very uncomfortable.
“Do you really promise not to wear gloves?”
“I swear.”
