Inside the secret room.
"Titled Hitman? Which one? "the woman asked.
"Crow" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The woman recalled briefly and recalled Crow's appearance.
This man is ridiculously beautiful, choosing him to pretend to be me would really work!
"Is this person … reliable?" the woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "I think he's reliable, but for the sake of safety, I'll use a [Divine Word] technique on him once"
"That's good, are you sure you can convince him to pretend to be me?" the woman asked again.
"I can't guarantee that, so wait here for me, I'll go ask around" Gu Qing Shan said.
The woman scowled: "It's best if you hurry, because the day of departure isn't too far away. The person pretending to be me will have to quickly imitate my every action, every movement, every movement, every expression, every word of speech — — - he must fully adapt to a feminine lifestyle"
Gu Qing Shan froze, then muttered: "According to what you said, if I want to convince him …"
"Will it be very difficult?" the woman asked.
"No, I think the difficulty has been greatly reduced …"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan manifested a white fog behind him.
He retreated into the white fog and disappeared from the secret room.
A few moments later.
He directly appeared in the lobby of the Hitman Guild.
"Your Excellency Dragon King of Atrocity Jail!"
"You've returned!"
The staff greeted him one after another.
"Ah, that's right, I wanted to ask if Crow is in the Guild" Gu Qing Shan said.
"He returned, changed his clothes, then went to a bar" one of the staff replied.
"Do you know which bar it was?"
"I'm not sure — — your excellency, here is your Titled Hitman badge"
"Alright, thank you, I'll go look for it myself"
Gu Qing Shan received the badge and disappeared.
…
In places like bars, to prevent customers from causing trouble, there would usually be various defensive and concealment measures.
Because of that, Gu Qing Shan's inner sight was useless, so he had no choice but to search one bar at a time.
As soon as he left one of the bars, he suddenly sensed something.
He took out a simple bracelet made of bone from his Inventory Bag.
— — this was an item from the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, a gift from Zhao Qiong.
A female voice came from the bracelet.
"Gu Qing Shan, can you hear me?"
This was Shan Hai Qi Xia, the only person in the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts who managed to escape the control of the soul inheritance, as well as the representative of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
"I can hear it. Did something happen on your side?" asked Gu Qing Shan.
"Nothing really happened …" Shan Hai Qi Xia's voice was a bit hesitant.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and waited silently.
Sure enough, Shan Hai Qi Xia quickly explained: "We've cultivated some of the inheritances that you brought out from the great tomb, coupled with the fact that the Tomb of Myriad Beasts was originally a world that had fused 99% of the Beast King realm, we've been able to improve very quickly. The strength of the entire Tomb of Myriad Beasts is constantly increasing — — but all of us have learned to restrain and restrain ourselves, so the outside world doesn't know about our true situation"
"And then?" Gu Qing Shan asked in a timely manner.
Shan Hai Qi Xia replied: "Although we're getting stronger and stronger, I'm the only one who has truly developed my spirit sense. I'm feeling … more and more uneasy"
Gu Qing Shan stopped in place.
Shan Hai Qi Xia was a very capable and opinionated person, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to lead the School of Shan Hai for so many years and even avoided being taken over by the inheritance.
If it were anything else, she wouldn't be in such a hurry to tell me.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "The great tomb above your heads has gathered countless Apocalypses. Although its eruption has been temporarily delayed, it's still a great threat, so you must be feeling uneasy"
Shan Hai Qi Xia replied: "It's not about the great tomb. In truth, during my deep meditation, I sensed many strange entities, all of them seemed to be restlessly waiting for something — — I'm guessing that something is about to happen, and it seems to be related to the future"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "What is it, do you feel anything?"
"I'm not sure, but it seems to be related to the inheritance, exuding the boundless will of iron and blood" Shan Hai Qi Xia's voice became a bit dreamy: "… like a war, it's calling out to us"
That thought flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind.
His tone slowed down and softly said: "I understand, you need to be on your guard. If you sense anything amiss, immediately leave the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, your lives are more important than vengeance, we need to avoid the calamity first"
"I understand" Shan Hai Qi Xia replied.
"Contact me at any time"
"Got it"
The call ended.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit more.
"… Samsara Clash for Supremacy …" he muttered in a low voice, then disappeared.
A minute later.
He finally found Crow.
Unexpectedly, Crow wasn't in a bar, but rather was lying outside a bar, in a secluded corner, holding a bottle of liquor and slowly drinking it.
Gu Qing Shan crouched down in front of Crow and asked in surprise: "What happened to you?"
"I originally wanted to find a woman to marry, the wedding had already been prepared" Crow replied in a low voice.
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and slowly understood.
"When we were lost in the Saint Spirit world, everyone outside thought that we were dead, so your fiancée also thought that you were dead?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, she ran away with another man" Crow replied.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged, doubtfully asking: "Wouldn't it be better to just explain it clearly and steal it back?"
Crow smiled bitterly, then took the bottle of liquor and poured it into his mouth.
Gu Qing Shan looked at his expression and muttered: "I'm afraid there's more to it than that"
Bam!
The door of the opposite bar was pushed open.
Several drunk men walked out, each with a woman in their arms.
As soon as they saw Crow, they laughed: "Ahahaha, a former Titled Hitman, now that you've lost all your abilities, you're nothing but a cripple from now on!"
One of the bulky men pushed the woman in his arms forward and called out: "Lize, say goodbye to this cripple"
The woman appeared sympathetic and said: "Crow, I hope you'll be fine from now on"
Saying so, she retreated and leaned against the bulky man again.
Gu Qing Shan tilted his head.
It was very rare for him to do something like this, but the situation today was something that even he couldn't quite understand.
"What happened?" he sent his voice to ask Crow.
"It's actually nothing" Crow lazily sent his voice, "I was just joking around, telling her that I was heavily wounded during the battle and lost most of my powers, then … I was beaten up by someone who overheard me, then she turned around and joined up with those people"
Saying so, he took another gulp of liquor.
"You didn't retaliate?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I didn't — — I've been showing signs of breaking through recently, on the verge of erupting, so I used a secret technique to suppress it, normal people wouldn't be able to tell — — so I didn't dare to act recklessly, that would easily kill a lot of people" Crow replied.
Gu Qing Shan understood.
"Did it hurt?" he curiously asked.
Crow glared at him, then replied: "Their fists were as soft as cotton"
"What does it feel like to be betrayed by a woman?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"I was probably too much of a playboy before, so now it's my turn to get a taste of it. I really have to say, under very rare circumstances, fate is quite fair"
Saying so, Crow gulped down more and more liquor.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the group of people, watching their mischievous expressions.
"Listen to me, I have a quest here, rather than drinking here, how about you come with me to do a quest" Gu Qing Shan said.
"My heart is wounded, I need to rest for a while" Crow replied.
"How about I sing you a song to cheer you up?" Gu Qing Shan suggested.
"Singing probably won't be able to comfort me" Crow replied.
"I'll take you to see the City Lord's daughter, she's very beautiful, even more beautiful than you" Gu Qing Shan said.
Crow's ears perked up.
— — -birds, when they're excited, their ears would twitch uncontrollably.
Crow sighed, then shook his head: "Ah, I'm still not that motivated, my wedding took an entire year to prepare, I'm so sad"
"Ah, I don't really understand this, but — — - this really is the most important moment of one's life, I can understand how you feel" Gu Qing Shan consoled him.
"Can't you say anything useful at all? How could such dry words comfort my soul?" Crow glared at him with his beautiful eyes.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then clapped her hands: "Just look at how beautiful this world is"
"How is it beautiful?" Crow glanced at her.
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the group of men and women in front of her and explained: "In this era of Apocalypse, every powerful man would want to take care of a few girls to ensure their safety; and every girl is so understanding and considerate, after knowing that you're a piece of trash, afraid that they'll bring you trouble, they've all actively distanced themselves from you"
Crow went silent for a while, then muttered: "I'm so touched"
"So let's go, we're going to meet the City Lord's daughter. I swear, you've never seen such a beautiful woman" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Wait a minute, what are we going to meet her for?" Crow asked with a serious expression.
"I want you to disguise yourself as her, receive numerous kidnappings and assassinations, in short, you need to know how to disguise yourself as a super beautiful, super powerful woman" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"What's the reward?" Crow asked.
"She's the true ruler of Void City, you can ask her for anything you want" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Crow scoffed, then said: "Disguising myself as a woman is a very difficult task, normal people wouldn't be able to do it, so the reward I want isn't cheap"
Gu Qing Shan silently looked at Crow's hand.
— — Crow's hand was originally holding the bottle of liquor, but now he couldn't help but lift his pinky.
Gu Qing Shan stood up with Crow.
"What do you want from her?" Gu Qing Shan casually asked.
"I didn't manage to hold my 100th wedding — — this is the greatest humiliation I've ever suffered. I want such an esteemed person like her to preside over my 100th wedding to make up for my current failure" Crow replied.
Gu Qing Shan glared at him and repeated:
"100th?"
"That's right" Crow replied.
"— — what about your previous wives?"
"Their relationship broke down"
"You broke it down too quickly!"
Crow sighed: "They were all after my peerless beauty and peerless strength, none of them cared about my heart"
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a long while.
"Crow"
"What?"
"If you get married again, please don't tell me"
