On the large ship.
The gourd Adorable flew forward with all its might and quickly reached the bow of the ship.
This place was indeed heavily guarded, quite a few powerful evil creatures were patrolling the area, some of them were even using spatial concealment techniques to prevent this place from being spied on.
The gourd Adorable went straight through all the checkpoints and continued forward.
Wherever it went, none of the evil creatures noticed this jade gourd pendant at all.
It kept flying towards the innermost part of the ship and finally caught up to the ship before it left.
There weren't a lot of evil creatures on this ship, only the Lord of Total Distortion and his closest subordinates.
The gourd Adorable circled around the ship once before slowly hovering above the Lord of Total Distortion's head.
It remembered Gu Qing Shan's words well. I can't let it fall on someone else's head.
— — -so I can only hover.
The Lord of Total Distortion didn't notice this at all.
『Move the ship』 he ordered.
The ship shot forward like an arrow, breaking through the waves and headed towards the Wood Bristles Field.
One hour later.
The sea was filled with fog.
The ship stopped and drifted along with the waves.
『Is it time yet?』 the Lord of Total Distortion asked.
『We're here』 one of his subordinates replied.
『They shouldn't be late — – very good, they're already here』
Saying so, the Lord of Total Distortion stood up.
He walked onto the deck and looked down into the sea.
A figure slowly appeared from the depths of the sea.
The figure was standing on the surface of the sea, walking step by step towards the ship.
『We're going forward』
The Lord of Total Distortion ordered.
The ship was getting closer and closer to the figure.
As they got closer, the sea began to fill with fog.
This fog seemed to contain some sort of miraculous power that made it impossible to see the figure's face clearly. Until they got close enough — — -
They could clearly see countless wriggling flesh tentacles on the figure's body. These tentacles came from the sea.
As if something was below the surface of the sea.
The figure stared closely at the Lord of Total Distortion and began to speak with a strange tone.
『Little evil creature, have you prepared what we want?』
The Lord of Total Distortion replied: 『This is the last batch, after this batch is given to you, all evil creatures of the same species will have been traded』
『You better not be lying to us』 the flesh tentacle figure said.
The Lord of Total Distortion asked: 『We've already completed so many transactions, why do you still suspect me?』
The flesh tentacle man replied: 「 I'm confused — — as long as we can grasp the mystery of the birth of all devils, the land will become our crops, and all devils will become our food, and you are facilitating all of this 」
『I don't care about that, as long as you give me that key and do as the contract says and never disturb me again, our deal is done』 the Lord of Total Distortion replied.
The flesh tentacle said, "Even if all the devils go extinct, it won't matter?"
『I don't care if they die — — - very well, give me the key』 the Lord of Total Distortion said.
The flesh tentacle man was silent for a moment, then said: "You need to wait patiently, we have to count the number of devils on the ship first, we also need some time to record the species."
「 Don't give me that, with your powers, confirming the goods would only take a single breath's worth of time — — in the end, you just don't trust me 」 the Lord of Total Distortion scoffed.
The flesh tentacle man remained silent.
But the Lord of Total Distortion seemed to be wary of something, so he didn't try to urge him.
A few moments later.
The flesh tentacle man seemed to have confirmed something and spoke emotionally: 『You've sold out all the evil creatures, from you, I finally understood one thing — — the nature of the evil creatures is to destroy themselves』
He threw out a shiny piece of metal.
The piece of metal flew across the sky, about to fall towards the Lord of Total Distortion.
The Lord of Total Distortion stared closely at the piece of metal, his eyes filled with madness and desire.
『The Key of the Seal! I finally got it!』
He spoke with a hoarse voice and hurriedly reached out to catch the piece of metal.
In that split second, something that no one expected happened.
A 'sha' sound was heard — — -
While the piece of metal was still in the air, it suddenly disappeared.
Both the flesh tentacle man and the Lord of Total Distortion were shocked.
At the same time, the jade gourd pendant flew away from the Lord of Total Distortion's head and quickly flew back.
At the same time, on a giant ship that was extremely far away from this place.
Gu Qing Shan was sitting in her room, silently watching the [Kindling] UI open up again.
This time, the [Kindling] UI had prepared itself for evolution.
"[Kindling], what do we — — -"
While Gu Qing Shan was talking, a shiny piece of metal fell into his hand.
"What is this? Wait a minute, what's going on? "
He froze, threw the piece of metal on the ground, and grabbed the Chao Yin sword.
— — -he had set up numerous alarm and defensive formations in the room, but this piece of metal was still able to appear out of thin air — — and directly in his hand!
This was completely out of Gu Qing Shan's range of understanding.
While he was on guard, he released his Divine Sense to observe the movements of the entire ship.
Strange …
Everything is normal.
Then, what exactly is going on with this thing?
Gu Qing Shan looked at the piece of metal again.
This time, he noticed a new detail.
Next to the piece of metal, a strand of spirit energy had gathered to form the shape of a gourd.
This gourd-shaped spirit energy symbol seems to have some sort of concealment function.
The piece of metal silently laid on the ground, but Gu Qing Shan couldn't sense its existence at all.
Gu Qing Shan understood.
This was the jade gourd pendant Adorable's doing!
On the other side.
The Lord of Total Distortion shouted: 『What is the meaning of this!?』
The flesh tentacle man spoke in a low voice: 『Little fiend, we are fully complying with the contract, but something took the key just now』
The Lord of Total Distortion took out a contract and carefully checked it.
The black flame on the contract was still there.
The contract was still valid.
— — -which meant the other party didn't break the contract.
Bastard!
Someone actually dared to steal my thing at this time!
At this point, the flesh tentacle man spoke:
『Little fiend, the entity that took the piece of key just now is far beyond our understanding』
『I've mobilized all of my underwater companions to search for it for you, but we still couldn't find the key』
He walked forward step by step on the surface of the sea until he reached the Lord of Total Distortion.
『Here, this is a replacement that we made, it can also be used』
His fleshy tentacle hand gripped a piece of metal.
— — the second piece of metal.
At the same time, the seawater began to boil.
Countless vast and dangerous presences rose to the sky.
Countless ancient demonic sea creatures that were over 100 million years old had arrived!
They were silently waiting, waiting for the entity that stole the key to show up again.
The Lord of Total Distortion reached his hand out and grabbed the piece of metal.
The flesh tentacle man waited for a while.
Nothing happened.
Slowly, he let go of her.
The piece of metal returned to the Lord of Total Distortion's hand.
Still, nothing happened.
The flesh tentacle man stayed silent for a while before speaking: 『Fine, perhaps that entity has already left. Now that you've obtained the key, we're done with the deal』
The Lord of Total Distortion looked at the contract in his hand.
Most of the contract's text had disappeared.
All that was left was the "non-interference" clause.
He sighed in relief and quickly put the piece of metal into his storage space.
『Very well, although I don't know what kind of entity took that thing, since it was able to hide from both of us, it's not something we can deal with』
"Now that I've got the key, my ship is yours," Roland said with a smile.
『Deal』
…
On the other side.
The jade gourd pendant Adorable went straight into Gu Qing Shan's formation.
Xiu, xiu xiu, xiu xiu xiu xiu
It breathed heavily and boasted triumphantly.
Gu Qing Shan told it: "There's no rush, speak slowly"
But the jade pendant seemed to have realized something and became even more hurried.
Xiu xiu xiu …
It continued to speak for a long time.
As it spoke, Gu Qing Shan finally understood what happened earlier.
『So we were all the Lord of Total Distortion's trading items …』
『You did very well, I didn't think [Borrowing Universe] could be used like this』
『Regardless, a 100 million years old demonic sea creature isn't something we can deal with, so we need to leave this ship first』
Putting the piece of metal into her Inventory Bag, tying the jade pendant around her waist, Gu Qing Shan was about to leave.
At this time, lines of blood-red text were jumping on the [Kindling] UI:
