Chapter 506: What’s mine is yours
Translated by: La0o9
Proofreader: Arya
Gu Qing Shan looked at Su Xue Er’s wolfing down her food and sighed helplessly: “Take it easy”
Su Xue Er didn’t listen to him and spoke with a mouthful: “No way, I haven’t eaten your cooking for so long!”
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Back during their school years, Su Xue Er used to go to the night market and visit his stall very frequently.
Those were peaceful days.
But now, recalling it, it all seemed so far away, almost like those days were already an entire lifetime ago.
“Xue Er, which world did you come to exactly?” Gu Qing Shan asked her out of concern.
“That’s not important” Su Xue Er was still eating as she answered.
“Why?”
Hesitating a bit, Su Xue Er smiled and spoke: “My place is just an isle, there’s nothing but normal people there. I’ve been so bored that I’m looking for a new place to crash now”
Gu Qing Shan noticed.
That can’t be right.
The scroll that she gave him before, with his current discerning eyes, Gu Qing Shan understood just how precious a thing it was.
How would a normal world give out such a scroll to her?
He stared at her.
She smiled at him: “Really, my Teacher is really strong, but he already left on a long interstellar journey alone, leaving me there. I didn’t want to live in that boring place all by myself”
These words implied something else.
It seems that it doesn’t have something to do with that world… or perhaps she meant she wanted to come with me?
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and spoke slowly: “The place I’m at is a Super Dimensional world, called the Justice Iron Fist Club”
“Justice Iron Fist… wait a minute”
Su Xue Er wiped her mouth as she took out a newspaper from somewhere.
The headline on it was: [Super Dimensional worlds received good news: With the full recovery of Barry’s legs, 7934 firms have issued new stock]
[An investor had this to say: Thank G.o.d, I managed to live to see the day when he can repay his debt]
The front page of the newspaper also had a picture.
It depicted the old man from the Spire Keeper a.s.sociation hugging Barry’s leg, fully shocked.
While Barry clenched his fist looking annoyed.
This picture was really well taken.
Su Xue Er pointed at the picture: “Look, you’re also on here! I only managed to find news of you with this”
Gu Qing Shan took a closer look.
Sure enough, at the time I was standing next to Barry, the picture got taken right as I was surprised.
“From this picture alone?”
“Hmph, of course it took much more than that. I had to spend a lot of money for intel to find you”
As soon as she said so, Su Xue Er’s face became flushed.
That implied things a bit too clearly.
She was a bit embarra.s.sed.
Gu Qing Shan reaffirmed his previous guess.
Sure enough, Su Xue Er came as soon as she found news of me, that’s why she claimed what she did.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan calmed back down.
He reached his hand to stroke her head.
“Since your world is so boring, come with me after this is over” he offered.
Su Xue Er’s eyes glittered as she looked at him.
“Hm, I will”
She easily agreed.
Seeing her like that, Gu Qing Shan slowly smiled.
All of a sudden, a soft chime of music could be heard.
Both of them looked in the same direction.
A 5-colored silhouette descended from the ceiling, slowly gathered in the middle of the room before forming a thin card.
Su Xue Er stood up to take it in her hand and checked.
“It’s an invitation—– do you know a lot of people here?” she asked curiously.
“No, it’s the first time I came to this hotel” Gu Qing Shan replied.
They looked at the invitation together.
This was an invitation sent to all the guests of the hotel.
The Bramble Bird royal family was about to arrive in Aboul, so they extended an invitation to all gold-ranked guests to partic.i.p.ate in a luxurious evening banquet.
As for the occasion—–
The Bramble Bird princess will have her coming of age ceremony, officially entering the ranks of ladies within the infinite worlds.
“The Bramble Bird princess “ Su Xue Er was surprised, “that’s quite the occasion, if we manage to get to know her, even without answering the Light of Dawn’s call, we’ll be able get a lot of precious treasures”
“Is that so? Then how about we go take a look?” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Of course, but only if you’d be willing to let me accompany you as your female companion” Su Xue Er said.
“I’d be honored to” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Heheee” Su Xue Er said nothing back and only giggled.
She seemed to be happy.
Gu Qing Shan then remembered something.
“Are you a G.o.d’s Chosen?” he asked.
“I am”
“I happened to find this card here, but I don’t know what it means. Can you take a look for me?”
“Of course” Su Xue Er pridefully puffed out her chest, “my knowledge is only the best of this generation”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t change his expression as he heard that.
But what she said just now proved that Su Xue Er was lying.
‘This generation’.
These words proved that her world wasn’t as simple as she claimed it to be.
But since Gu Qing Shan had already understood what she really wanted, he decided not to mind the problem of her world.
Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag to take out the [Predictor of Fate] card.
As soon as he took it out, Su Xue Er opened her eyes wide and held her breath.
The King of Fate
This card is part of the King of Fate deck!
Lord Bloodcloak once talked about this card deck.
Out of the entire 900 million World Layers, there is only a single one of this deck, and every card is unique, the only one of itself in existence.
Only the most powerful G.o.d’s Chosen kingdom is qualified to receive this deck of cards.
And this card, the spokesperson of fate, is sentient, it has its own will.
Once it gives up on someone, they will die and it will leave in search of a new master.
Su Xue Er received the card without changing her expression.
“This is a fortune telling card” she casually said.
She looked at the scene depicted on the card.
The white mist that covered the giant eye began to swirl.
“I saw myself turned into a monster and devour a skeleton, what does that mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked her.
Su Xue Er felt heavy.
She was staring straight at the face of the card without answering him.
Gu Qing Shan followed her gaze into the face of the card.
But the card face was completely blank, there was nothing there.
Su Xue Er just stared at the card and said nothing.
“Why is the card just blank? What does this mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
Su Xue Er still didn’t answer.
She looked at the card, then at Gu Qing Shan.
“Give me your hand” she said.
Then she took Gu Qing Shan and grabbed the card together.
Su Xue Er began to chanting to the card: “Fate! Bloom at the moment of wither!”
Her tone was unusually threatening, naturally giving off an impression of solemnity and respect.
This wasn’t their original world’s language, rather it was an incantation.
It was thanks to the Infinite Worlds Standard Dictionary that Gu Qing Shan managed to understand this incantation and where it came from.
This was the language of the Fog Isle.
What kind of place is this ‘Fog Isle’?
Gu Qing Shan silently made a note of this name.
This incantation, doesn’t it sound a bit strange?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking about that, the scene depicted on the card had already changed following Su Xue Er’s incantation.
Within the blank card, Gu Qing Shan appeared.
As he lightly leapt, he reached s.p.a.ce among countless stars.
With a sword in hand, he lightly swung.
s.p.a.ce itself was slashed in two.
Countless stars fell at his sword.
“Wow!” Su Xue Er exclaimed, fully impressed.
Gu Qing Shan was also stunned by his incredible feat shown on the card.
“Strange, before I was still eating a skeleton, why did the style change so suddenly to become this impressive?” he asked.
“That’s because I’m with you”
Su Xue Er stared at the card completely mesmerized as she squeezed Gu Qing Shan’s hand tightly.
“Then—-” just as Gu Qing Shan wanted to ask more, Su Xue Er cut him off.
“Did you know, Qing Shan? This hotel is a bit special” she said.
Gu Qing Shan can only follow up: “What do you mean?”
“This hotel is able to send us back to a certain world of the past, at a certain era, casually spending half a month there”
“Ah, I did hear about it, that really is quite miraculous”
“Are you willing to come with me?”
“But then—– weren’t we supposed to come to the Bramble Bird royal family’s evening banquet?”
“That doesn’t sound very fun, come with me to the past, consider it a bit of relaxation before battle” Su Xue Er showed a pleading expression.
Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed.
Girls really are fickle creatures, already changing their minds from one second to the next.
“Alright” he agreed.
He can’t really say no since it was Su Xue Er’s request.
“Yay!”
Su Xue Er threw both hands in the air childishly, as if she had just won something really important.
She then casually put the [Predictor of Fate] card away before taking out another card to give to Gu Qing Shan.
“I’ll study your card a bit closer, so this card is a deposit, otherwise you’d think I’m taking your fortune telling card for myself”
“There’s no need, I won’t think that”
“If you really won’t think that then take this—– think of it as you holding onto it for me for now!” Su Xue Er insisted.
“…Fine”
Gu Qing Shan had no choice but to take the card, casually glancing at it.
The card depicted a mountainous majestic monster, with two vertical irises in both eyes and a pair of faint, dark wings.
Behind the monster were an uncountable sea of monsters.
They lined up orderly and neatly, weapons in hand, giving off a sharp feeling.
From the look of it, this was a large army.
A strange connection formed between him and the card.
With that connection, a few glowing lines of text scrolled past the War G.o.d UI.
[You’ve received the War card: Blood Sea G.o.d Army”
[You’ve received owners.h.i.+p of this card]
[For unknown reasons, Blood Sea G.o.d Army had actively formed a contract with you, giving you the ability to call upon and control it]
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
Didn’t you say I was just going to hold onto it, when did I become its owner?
He looked to Su Xue Er wanting to ask her.
Su Xue Er blocked his mouth with her palm, smiling: “Did you feel the connection formed with the card? It’s fine, just take it for now, what’s mine is yours”
