Chapter 593: Directions from a Shoe
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Que threw a shoe high into the sky, the shoe fell to the ground, and the tip of it pointed to the southeast.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning and b.u.t.tface were speechless.
This is the trick you mentioned? Finding the way by throwing one of your shoes?
Xu Que put his hands on his waist. “You said I am a man of misfortune and since the tip of it pointed to the southeast, I think we should head to the northwest,” he said confidently.
Liu Jingning was speechless and shook her head.
“You’re talking nonsense! We can’t head to the northwest the whole way—what if you can’t find Jiang Hongyan in the end? You’ll what? Throw a shoe again? You’re just wasting time! The Mystery Land Trial will already be over by then!”
Xu Que shrugged. “Then tell me what to do! I have no idea! You know where she is, but you won’t tell me!”
Hearing this, Liu Jingning laughed.
“Then stop looking for her! Besides, she doesn’t even want to see you while she’s going through the Mystery Land Trial!”
“The reason she does not want to see me is that she does not want to drag me into trouble. But still, I want to see her, because I want to flirt . . . no, no, no—I want to rescue her! You’re a really cruel woman. How can you just watch her suffer?!”
Hearing this, Liu Jingning rolled her eyes, not believing a word of it. “The closer you are to her, the more unfortunate you will be! You will eventually die!”
“I don’t care!” Xu Que shouted. “I would do anything for her!”
“I never thought you would say such a thing! I don’t care how you end up! Now you;ll go to the South Continent!”
“No!”
“Fine! I won’t tell you Jiang Hongyan’s whereabouts anyway!”
“I can find where she is without your help!” Xu Que said angrily.
In fact, from the very beginning he’d decided to discover Jiang Hongyan’s whereabouts through Liu Jingning, but now it seemed this wouldn’t work.
Fine! I can still find Jiang Hongyan’s whereabouts without her help! With the Lucky Aura, the direction the shoe points in is definitely right!
Ding! the notification of the sound of the System echoed. “The Lucky Aura has been activated! Activating the Lucky Aura will cost the host 1,000 Acting Tough Points per second!”
F*ck! A thousand Acting Tough Points per second?!
Xu Que was infuriated and threw one of his shoes high into the sky.
After a while, the shoe fell heavily to the ground.
This time, it pointed to the southwest!
“System! Turn off the Lucky Aura!” Xu Que shouted as soon as the shoe fell onto the ground.
In just five seconds, he had spent around 5,000 Acting Tough Points! He was terribly upset by this!
After upgrading the System two levels higher, he only had around 10,000 Acting Tough Points. He’d made around 20,000 Acting Tough Points in the Stone-Cutting Convention by acting tough, and now he only had around 30,000 Acting Tough Points left.
Activating the Lucky Aura is really expensive! I can at most use it five or six times with the points I’ve got.
Jiang Hongyan, please don’t be hiding far from here! Otherwise, I will go bankrupt!
Xu Que was very down; putting on the shoe, he slowly walked forward.
Seeing this, Liu Jingning was a bit startled.
This time, the shoe had pointed in the right direction.
“b.u.t.tface! Come on! Let’s go!” Xu Que flew away with b.u.t.tface and headed to the southwest.
How can he be so sure that he’s heading in the right direction?! Didn’t he just say he would head to the northeast just now? Is it possible for him to be a fortune-teller?
Thinking of this, Liu Jingning shook her head. This is impossible, he can’t tell fortunes—if he could, he wouldn’t be dragged into trouble.
“He got lucky this time! He can’t possibly find Jiang Hongyan—and even if he finds her, he can do nothing about it! He’s still too young and impulsive and always does things without thorough consideration.”
Liu Jingning sighed and, transforming into a black shadow, began to catch up with Xu Que.
Although Xu Que did not consider consequences, this was to his benefit. If he were a person who always thought too much about consequences, he would probably still be in the Five Elements Mountain.
He wanted to see Jiang Hongyan so desperately because he knew what kind of person she was and that she would never break her promise to him.
She promised to meet me in the Bright Moon Hotel and asked Liu Jingning to take care of me, so she must be in serious trouble now!
She might have gotten into trouble with all those influential Families and Factions, but with her ability and characteristics, she can’t possibly be afraid of those people. If she were, she would not show herself at the Bright Moon Hotel in the first place.There is only one thing that I am sure of: she is in deep trouble now.
Thinking of this, Xu Que made up his mind to find Liu Jingning.
In fact, before coming here he’d only wanted to take revenge to Duan Jiude and get the Genesis Earth Herbs and the Genesis Wood Herbs to bring Xiao Rou back to life.
Xiao Rou had not been brought back to life yet, and Jiang Hongyan was in great danger.
Xu Que knew he could not rush to bring Xiao Rou back to life, since even if he managed to get the two herbs from Duan Jiude, he still could not bring her back to life without the Living Holy Water.
Currently, the most important thing for him to do was to keep Jiang Hongyan safe.
Having a close relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Hongyan will bring me bad luck? Even if this is true, I’m not afraid! I’m so good at acting tough I’m not afraid of anything at all!
If I am really cursed then I will constantly be dragged into trouble, and I can take it as an opportunity to act tough!
…
Outside the city, Jiang Limu received a voice message from Jiang Yushu and was told to go back.
He was so desperate that he simply wanted to burst into tears. He had been dragged into huge trouble and realized that the only thing he could do was run away as far as he could.
He knew that even if he went back, no one would believe him, and he would definitely be killed if he could not hand out the X-ray perspective machine.
The next morning came. Jiang Yushu and the powerful men from other two Families grimly awaited the return of Jiang Limu.
Everyone believed that Jiang Limu had run away with the X-ray perspective machine.
Gong Huaping was furious. “Jiang Yushu, see?! How can you and your family do such a thing to us! Obviously, you are bullying the Gong Family and the Bai Family. You shall wait and see!” He stormed away.
“You shall wait and see!” the Elder of the Bai Family sneered and also left.
Jiang Yushu was both angry and worried. He realized things had gone out of control, and the entire Jiang Family would be dragged into huge turmoil if he did not solve things.
“B*stard!” Jiang Yushu said angrily. “Find out where Jiang Limu is! I don’t care how much time or money it will cost! If he fights back when he is spotted, just kill him and bring me the X-ray perspective machine!” He looked away with a coldness in his eyes.
“If it were not for that sl*tty Jiang Hongyan, this sort of thing would have never happened to my family! I will definitely kill her!”
