[Soul Points contributed to the Laws of the world: + 300]

…
As Gu Qing Shan stared at the lines of text that kept popping up on the War God UI, he wasn't in the mood to participate in some sort of banquet.
I'm going to run out of money.
I need to think of a way to earn more Soul Points.
— — -but the Viscount still hasn't returned, and the conferring ceremony hasn't begun, so I can't leave.
Gu Qing Shan sighed helplessly, then found a seat in a corner and sat down.
I wonder how things are progressing.
If I was someone with actual authority like Viscount Warren, I might even be able to participate in the aftermath.
While he was thinking, Crow walked over and sat down on the chair next to him.
"The first dance is about to begin, tsk tsk, there are so many beautiful young ladies here, as well as alluring noblewomen, how unfortunate that I …"
Crow sighed, leaned back on the chair, and crossed his legs without a care for his image.
"No need to pay attention to these people, or the dance, we need to think of a way to resolve this world's Apocalypse, that way, all three of us will be able to turn back" Gu Qing Shan whispered.
Crow glanced at him, then said: "I think that duck plushie doesn't want to turn back"
"What do you mean?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Crow narrowed his eyes.
Gu Qing Shan followed Crow's gaze and looked towards the beautiful young ladies.
The duck plushie was being swapped back and forth, being touched by one, then hugged by another.
Gu Qing Shan hesitated, then sent her voice to the duck plushie: "Omaki, let me save you?"
The duck plushie's excited voice abruptly came:
「 No, no, no, this is the highlight of my life, please give me a bit of time to remember this moment well 」
Gu Qing Shan: "…"
Crow looked at Gu Qing Shan's expression and mocked: "Are you wondering why those young ladies would like a plushie that's only worth 1 copper coin?"
"That's a bit strange" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Because it's yours" Crow replied.
Gu Qing Shan was startled.
Crow evaluated him, then commented: "A handsome 15-year-old young man, confirmed to be a Condemner that only appears once every few hundred years, daring enough to personally fight against the monster, receiving a private audience from the Viscount as soon as he arrived. Soon enough, you will be conferred the title of Baron, I'm sure many of the girls here are thinking of how to approach you"
As soon as he finished speaking, the music started to play.
"The first dance is about to begin. Look at those girls, they're all pumped up as if they're about to step into the battlefield —"
Halfway through his sentence, Crow suddenly stopped.
"Hello, Rhode. Will you dance with me for the first dance?" A noble lady approached Gu Qing Shan and asked charmingly.
Gu Qing Shan quickly stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'd like to sit for a while."
The girl giggled and said, "You want to dance with the viscount's daughter for the first dance, right? It's fine, I'll just have to bear with it and dance with you for the second dance."
Saying so, without waiting for Gu Qing Shan to refuse again, she turned around and left.
Gu Qing Shan's hand was raised halfway, but she couldn't pull her back, nor could she call for her to come back.
— — that would draw everyone's attention.
Am I supposed to refuse a girl's invitation to dance with me in front of everyone?
Wouldn't that just be embarrassing her?
Gu Qing Shan dejectedly lowered her hand.
Crow clicked his tongue and praised: "Look, that's how girls do things, retreating in order to advance. Not only does it show off their elegance and courtesy, it also makes it impossible for you to refuse to dance with her for the second dance"
Gu Qing Shan was annoyed: "I didn't come here to dance, I — — -"
Before he could finish his words, another noble lady walked over leisurely.
"I saw what happened just now, Rhode, I'll take the third dance"
The girl silently winked at Gu Qing Shan, then lowered her voice and said: "Rhode, I'm a high-ranked follower of the Goddess of Pleasure"
She raised her slender finger and circled around the room, gesturing that no girl could compare to her.
Then she left.
Crow watched this with a troubled expression, muttering to himself: "Pleasure … I really want to experience it, unfortunately, I've turned into a girl"
Suddenly, a butler walked up to Gu Qing Shan and quickly told her: "Young master Rhode, sir Viscount has returned, after the first dance is over, he will confer a title to you in front of everyone"
"Very well, thank you" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The butler nodded, then turned around and left.
Gu Qing Shan felt relieved.
It seems Count Heath's matter has been resolved.
With the foresight and strength of these VIPs, they should be able to warn everyone about the Apocalypse.
At this point, the first dance was about to begin.
Gu Qing Shan looked around, only to see that the Viscount's two daughters were looking at her.
There was a certain something in their eyes …
In any case, it was something that made Gu Qing Shan anxious.
"Crow"
"What?"
"Come dance"
"Wha — –"
Before she could finish, Gu Qing Shan had already pulled her up and brought her onto the dance floor.
The music became louder.
Everyone began to dance.
"Are you … afraid of women?"
While dancing, Crow curiously sent her voice.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "That's not it, we don't have time for these unnecessary things"
Crow appeared disapproving: "The joy of life is made up of unnecessary things"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at the War God UI.
Her Soul Points value was still dropping by 300 every second.
"Right now, we need to focus on solving this world's problems" Gu Qing Shan said.
"I'm reminding you, you're squeezing my chest" Crow said with a stern expression.
Gu Qing Shan looked down, then silently took a few steps back.
Suddenly, a commotion could be heard from outside.
A large group of people wearing cultivator robes and yaksha masks walked in.
They exchanged a few words with the butler, then didn't participate in the banquet or dance, simply found a corner and silently stood there.
Next to Gu Qing Shan and Crow, an aristocratic young lady asked in a low voice: "Why are these guys here?"
Her dance partner was a gentleman, who explained: "These people are quite conscientious in their work, sir Viscount would occasionally allow them to participate as a form of reward, do you understand?"
The aristocratic young lady teased: "I understand, just like my hunting dogs, when I'm in the mood, I'll also feed them some food"
"That's right"
Gu Qing Shan and Crow exchanged glances.
"Look, the people of this world have already gotten used to the existence of wraiths" Crow lowered his voice.
Gu Qing Shan looked around.
The other aristocratic gentlemen and young ladies also casually glanced at these wraiths, then ignored them.
— — the dance wasn't affected at all, still filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, became cautious.
He could sense that the wraiths' gazes were constantly inadvertently turning towards him.
The song came to an end.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan left the dance floor, a wraith came up and clasped his fist: "Esteemed young master Rhode, we of the Wraith realm have a gift for you, please follow me"
Gu Qing Shan stood still and asked: "Would you offer a gift to every nobleman who has been conferred a title?"
Behind him, another aristocrat chimed in: "That's right, Rhode, for the past several thousand years, they have always respected our Combatants. Go, accept the worship and offerings of these foreigners"
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent for a bit, then smiled: "Then I'll have to respectfully accept"
At this point, a lot of things happened one after another — — - New 81 Chinese website

Two lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You've adeptly grasped the Sacrificial Sword Dance, and performed a normal Dance]
[Please note, when the next dance begins, your dancing skills will be improved]
At the same time, at the end of the banquet hall, the sir Viscount abruptly appeared.
His appearance caused everyone to cheer.
"He's back, I wonder how he's doing" Crow muttered.
"There shouldn't be any issues, a monster of that caliber would definitely draw the attention of Combatants" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"— — Rhode, come here" the sir Viscount smiled and called out.
He was wielding an intricate ceremonial sword in his hand.
"I ask everyone here to bear witness, I shall confer Rhode the title of Baron" the sir Viscount loudly declared.
Everyone began to clap.
Gu Qing Shan told the wraith: "Seems like you'll have to wait a bit for me"
"Of course" the wraith stepped to the side.
Gu Qing Shan walked up to the Viscount.
All of a sudden, he felt a burning sensation on his wrist. First published on New 81 Chinese website
— — the proof of the world had been awakened!
Whispers resounded in his ears:
[You've displayed the origin of the Plague Apocalypse to the upper echelons of this world, successfully rousing their vigilance]
[Living beings of this world will prepare for the Apocalypse ahead of time]
"Even so, the important events that happened in history will continue to happen as time approaches."
[That will be the beginning of the wraiths' destruction of this world]
[This event has concluded, your mission has been perfectly completed]
Within Gu Qing Shan's inner sight, the small blue sword on his wrist burned and turned into a brand new icon.
— — it was a skull.
[You've obtained our recognition, we shall now explain to you the origin of the world's destruction]
[The wraiths' betrayal began with a minor incident]
[That incident happened on this very day in history, just one hour from now]
[Historians call that incident: The Death of the Young Baron]
