Chapter 483: His business is my business
Proofreader: Arya
The golden statue depicted an adult human man.
The man had a cigarette in his mouth, a bottle of liquor in his left hand while his right kept the black fedora on his head.
The man was squinting his eyes with a look of contempt.
As Gu Qing Shan observed the statue, he finally saw why he found it strange.
The man was wearing a pair of black leather boxing gloves with an open leather jacket, revealing his chest full of tattoos.
This appearance made it seem like he was a cold and stern person.
But he was wearing a pair of baggy boxers on his lower half.
This pair of boxers completely ruined the statue’s air of being cold and stern.
Standing next to Gu Qing Shan, the old man already noticed where his gaze fell.
The old man shrugged: “We’re already about to arrive at that stupid club so it’s natural for you to see the bunch of statues of him in the surrounding worlds”
Gu Qing Shan understood.
So this is Badleg Barry.
“He’s erecting statues of himself everywhere?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“No, no, no, these worlds all owe him a favor in one way or another, so they raised their statues on their own accord”
The old man continued: “When it comes to being hot-headed and kind, no one could deny those things about him”
Gu Qing Shan felt a.s.sured.
If someone really did raise statues of themselves everywhere, then Gu Qing Shan would definitely be cautious around them.
Gu Qing Shan commented: “The way he dresses is… erm… how do I say this?”
The old man started laughing.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the old man, a bit confused.
Still laughing, the old man explained: “There was one time where he was so drunk that he was completely clueless, but still insisted on going to the casino, so he ended up losing everything down to his pants”
“Coincidentally, a world was about to be destroyed by the demons and couldn’t help but request emergency aid from him”
The old man sighed, smiling ear to ear: “But what now? There’s no time to buy a new pair of pants, an entire world was about to be destroyed by the demons, so Badleg Barry had no choice but to go there directly from the casino”
Gu Qing Shan now noticed.
He looked at the old man questioningly.
The old man nodded: “Yep, Barry left in his underwear”
“After that, the people of the saved world were all so grateful to him that they decided to make him a statue. You get it right? He lost so badly that he didn’t even have his pants left, so he looked exactly like those statues”
“And then, the other worlds who received his favor also felt that they should make a statue of him to show their grat.i.tude”
“Which is why this statue is so wide-spread now”
“…So that’s why”
While they were talking, the s.h.i.+p had stopped.
From moments unknown, some light had appeared on one side of the s.h.i.+p.
“We’re here” the old man said as he looked at the gate of light.
…
On another side.
Reality.
A meeting was being conducted at the mountaintop mansion that would decide the fate of the world.
Zhang Ying Hao cleared his throat, saying: “That’s why I think that, those arrogant b.a.s.t.a.r.ds must be made to calm down”
“What does everyone else think?” Monarch Varona asked.
The President looked at Martial Saint Zhang Zong Yang, gesturing to him to speak first.
Zhang Zong Yang replied: “We need to tell them beyond any doubt that they are not main characters chosen by fate, they are merely lucky to be selected by the weapons of Huang Quan”
Liao Xing also added: “These arbitrary b.a.s.t.a.r.ds also committed too many outrageous crimes, they should be punished”
[Agreed] the Justice Judgement Machine rumbled in agreement.
“Agreed, our original intent was to help this merged world become stronger a bit faster, not become accomplices with the few who murder the innocent” the Soul Separating Hook said.
The President spoke: “If that’s the case, let us make an announcement to the world, everyone has the right to cultivate, but they cannot use the power of cultivation to do evil, otherwise they will be held responsible by law”
After saying so, they all looked over in a certain direction.
Su Xue Er was sitting on the sofa, focused on listening to the small white bird’s story.
As if she didn’t care about the decision that could affect the world on this side at all.
In truth, recently, every time she returned she would always stay here, silently waiting for Gu Qing Shan’s return.
The small white bird spoke coldly: “I’ve said my piece, who object? Who agrees?”
After that, it changed to a narrating tone and said: “Right then, all the dead of the 18 layers of h.e.l.l quickly nodded desperately, loudly declaring ‘hail the Devil King, we agree with your decision’”
Su Xue Er held her chin both with both hands as her eyes seemed like they were glowing: “Did he really kill the quadrillion Fiendkinds in the Devouring h.e.l.l?”
The small white bird became angry: “I’ve already told you this part 7 times, if I tell it again, I’ll become a storyteller bird!”
“Then tell me about how he saved you again”
“Fine… Hah…” the small white bird said helplessly.
Zhang Ying Hao thought for a bit and poked Liao Xing.
Liao Xing understood.
He loudly called out: “Hey, Lord Su, do you have any objections to what we just talked about?”
“Why are you asking me? Your boring matters don’t concern me at all. Also, don’t speak to me again” Su Xue Er casually replied.
This lecherous old man is so annoying.
Bang!
The doors burst open.
Ye Fei Li came in, soaked in blood.
“The Foundation realm serial killer has been dealt with, I cut off his head myself” Ye Fei Li said.
“You’ve heard our respective opinions from your Holo-Brain, what do you think?” Monarch Varona asked.
“Me?”
Ye Fei Li shrugged and smiled satisfyingly.
“I’m a Man Killer Fiend, I get more power to evolve if I kill these cultivator b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, so I’m all for it”
“Then we’ve reached a consensus” the President said.
“No, there’s still the 9 Lords who haven’t expressed their opinions” Monarch Varona said worriedly.
“Isn’t Lord Su right there?” Ye Fei Li pointed at Su Xue Er.
Everyone exchanged glances and said nothing.
Liao Xing quickly coughed and explained: “Lord Su said that this doesn’t concern her”
Ye Fei Li sat down, poured himself some soda and downed it in one gulp.
“Why doesn’t it concern her? If Lord Su keeps ignoring everything, that’s just being irresponsible” Ye Fei Li criticized her.
Everyone looked at him in surprise.
Zhang Ying Hao shook his head slightly, gesturing him not to say anything else.
Lord Su is… a very strong person.
Last time Liao Xing and the small white bird slipped up and said some unnecessary things, the power she showed was so great they couldn’t even look straight at her.
For the last few days, she had always been able to easily get here through spatial warp.
What normal person could do that?
Su Xue Er turned to look at him, squinting her eyes.
She was giving off a dangerous air.
“I don’t even want to care about the 9 Lords, why would I care about what you do?” Su Xue Er coldly said.
Ye Fei Li angrily refuted: “You have to care”
“Hah? What reason do I have to do that?” Su Xue Er replied.
She was a bit annoyed.
“Because you’re his girl, he’s the one responsible for all this. Now that he’s not here, who else but you can take charge for him?” Ye Fei Li said.
Su Xue Er froze.
Liao Xing silently raised his thumb behind his back.
Zhang Ying Hao raised his eyebrows, finding that unexpected.
Both the President and Monarch Varona looked at Ye Fei Li.
Ye Fei Li has really grown.
And then, Su Xue Er stood up full of spirits.
“Please carefully tell me again about what you just discussed”
She said sternly.
“So you’ve decided to care?” Ye Fei Li asked.
“Of course, his business is my business”
