More lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[As you have obtained the title of ‘Cherub’ belonging to the Condemnation deck, you have been bestowed with the following unique ability]
[Whenever you draw a Card, you may draw two Cards at once]
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes glowed but turned gloomy again.
I’m currently an Azure Card, after my advancement, all I had left was a single Card—–
The [True Crimson Demon Spear].
Even if I can draw one extra Card, I don’t possess one to actually draw.
Hah…
The unique ability of a Cherub is drawing two Cards at once…
——Little Dusk was an Angel, so what’s her unique ability?
Gu Qing Shan silently pondered.
He glanced at the word ‘Cherub’ on the UI and felt a bit irritated.
Why does a Condemnation title like ‘Cherub’ exist?
With how innocent Little Dusk seemed, Gu Qing Shan could completely imagine what would have happened after she woke up——
…
“Wow, Gu Qing Shan, I’ve only hibernated for a bit and you’re already a Cherub!”
“Cherub, I want to eat!”
“Cherub, big sister wants to rob some people!”
…
Gu Qing Shan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.
—-I need to desperately try harder.
The best choice is to get promoted to the next Condemnation rank and escape from this ‘Cherub’ title.
This time, the true man known as Gu Qing Shan had silently steeled his determination.
Fortunately, this advancement didn’t only give him an embarrassing title, but also something else that Gu Qing Shan was after.
The lines of glowing text that he expected finally appeared on the War God UI:
[You’ve become a Cherub of Condemnation Card]
[You now have just enough strength to provide the power to travel through time as one of the three unique entities]
Gu Qing Shan quickly refocused his mind.
Little Dusk is hibernating, so I’ll replace her for the short upcoming period.
The Great Bramble Tree is no issue.
The three coins are also no issue.
Only the Demon King of [Order] remains.
This shouldn’t be any other issues either, as Gu Qing Shan had silently questioned the [Demon King Order] about this before.
Because he had brought the [Demon King Order] all the way to its [Demon King Ascension] stage during the Age of Old, coupled with his noble status as an Envoy of Condemnation, the [Demon King Order] can temporarily provide him a kind of power that only the Demon King has in order to support time travel.
This should be enough!
Once we return to the Bramble Bird kingdom and summon help from the 900 million World Layers Combatants, we will be able to return to the moment of the Spire’s destruction to save Lady Darksea!
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“Hey, Gu Qing Shan, are you guys done over there?”
Boss called out from the deck of the ship.
“I’m finally done” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “The only thing left for us to do is return to the Bramble Bird Kingdom”
“Then can we have lunch now?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
Gu Qing Shan put on his apron again and asked: “Sure, what does everyone want to eat?”
“Egg fried rice and smoked sausage” Boss put in his order.
“Ice cream!” Laura called out.
“Just ice cream?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Hm, I’m dieting——- give me one bucket” Laura replied.
“…Alright” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Hmm, I’d like a bottle of liquor and two beef servings of beefsteak” Zhang Ying Hao put in his order as well.
“I just want a bowl of beef noodles” Ye Fei Li also called out.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively: “I’m not making fresh noodles today, Fei Li, choose something else”
Ye Fei Li thought briefly, then tried asking: “Then, fried noodles please”
Gu Qing Shan turned to the War God UI and silently asked: “Will fried noodles also trigger [See you once again]?”
The War God UI responded curtly:
[Yes]
At the same time, the remaining Soul Points value on the UI changed, deducting 200.
Gu Qing Shan: “…”
He raised his meat cleaver and turned to Ye Fei Li:
“Fei Li, let’s have a small agreement between us, from now on, don’t ask for noodles anymore, ok?”
“Ah… ok”
Ye Fei Li felt his heart beating faster for a brief moment and quickly answered.
So Gu Qing Shan took out his utensils and prepared everything, getting ready to cook.
At this time.
Everyone sensed it at the same time.
——-something was heading towards the airship!
Everyone drew their weapons, silently preparing for battle.
“Fei Li, what do you hear!?” Gu Qing Shan called out.
Ye Fei Li shook his head: “Too fast! Prepare for impact—–”
Bam!
The shadow crashed into the deck and went through it completely.
Gu Qing Shan scanned through with his inner sight and asked in surprise: “Anna! And Kitty! What happened to you!?”
Kitty collapsed on the deck of the ship, unconscious.
Anna was bloody all over, barely hanging onto Kitty.
Everyone quickly gathered.
“Save Kitty quickly!” Anna hurriedly called out.
Laura immediately took out a small bottle and poured it into Kitty’s mouth without saying a word.
Kitty moaned softly before her breathing became stable again.
“Her injuries are heavy; she’ll most likely require a long nap before she can recover” Laura told her.
She handed another bottle to Anna.
Anna drank the entire bottle at once, only to see that her wounds were visibly healing themselves.
After just a few moments, all of Anna’s injuries had completely healed!
This shocked Anna.
“What a potent healing serum…” she muttered.
Gu Qing Shan asked in a low voice: “Anna, what exactly happened?”
Anna regained her senses and answered him: “We came together with you, using the power of the three coins to return to the moment of Lady Darksea’s death and tried to save her”
What!?
Everyone was shocked.
Gu Qing Shan hurriedly asked: “Then, you mean that you traveled with me back to the past, then came back here again?”
“Yes” Anna’s eyes were a bit red, “Gu Qing Shan, you have to save everyone, quickly”
Gu Qing Shan softly grabbed her hand and slowly asked: “Don’t panic, tell me, what is the current war situation?”
Anna replied: “We managed to fend the Soul Shrieker off, but suffered heavy casualties in return, so many people are at the brink of death, requiring instant aid!”
“Did we actually win?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Anna nodded affirmatively.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, then turned around and signaled to Zhang Ying Hao.
“Help me carry Kitty, I’ll support Anna. Let’s bring them to the dining table”
“Ah, ok”
The two girls were carefully escorted over.
Laura put out a bed for Kitty to lie on.
Anna had fully recovered, so she sat on one of the dining chairs.
“Qing Shan, let’s hurry and save everyone!” she was sobbing as she said that.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her and gently said: “No worries, Anna, whenever we run into such situations, we need to tell ourselves, not to panic and stay calm”
“But—–”
As Anna still wanted to refute, Gu Qing Shan cut her off: “Don’t worry, with the three coins, we can return to any moment in the past; that includes the moment before anyone dies, so there’s no need to hurry at all——- isn’t that right?”
Anna froze.
That’s true.
“That’s great, why didn’t I think of that?” she sighed in relief.
The others also thought a bit and realized that to be true, so they calmed down as well.
They had already won the war, so there really was no need to hurry.
Gu Qing Shan patted her shoulder and asked: “Have you eaten yet? Let us have a meal first before we talk about other things”
He put out a few bottles of liquor on the table, set up a few snacks, then turned around to cook.
“What do you want to eat?”
Gu Qing Shan asked without turning around.
Anna was stunned.
I hurriedly traveled through time to reach here, just to eat.
Fine…
She replied: “Anything is fine, you can choose for me”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
His movements were skillful and full of expertise, finishing a portion of food for each person in just a short period of time.
Anna simply sat there, blankly staring at him without saying anything.
Kitty also woke up.
Anna then walked up to her and told her what Gu Qing Shan said.
Kitty nodded.
Gu Qing Shan casually made a portion of soft tofu for her.
“Although Laura’s medicine healed you, your wounds haven’t fully recovered yet, so there’s no need to eat rice, just a small snack is enough” he told her.
Kitty nodded and drank the soft tofu.
“How’s the taste?” Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.
Kitty looked over the table full of delicious food and praised: “It was delicious, as expected of something you made!”
Gu Qing Shan turned around, finished up a bowl of noodles, and handed it to Anna.
“Everyone can dig in” Gu Qing Shan said.
The group said nothing and simply ate.
After the meal was over, Gu Qing Shan and Laura cleaned everything up and put all the utensils away before sitting down with the two girls.
Wiping his hand, Gu Qing Shan looked at Anna and asked: “Now, tell me the real reason you’re here”
Anna’s expression turned blank and muttered: “We came here to bring you back to the past, where the master is lying in ambush, ready to catch you”
Kitty’s face turned pale and shouted: “What are you saying!?”
Before she could move, the barrel of a gun was pressed against her forehead while a khopesh was propped right at her neck.
And then——-
Clak clak clak!
Laura released a mountain of sealing artifacts, piled on top of Kitty, and made sure that she couldn’t move.
As for Anna, she was being held at the sword tips of both the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and the Earth sword in front and back, not daring to make even the slightest movement.
Boss observed Gu Qing Shan and smiled: “How interesting. No wonder you normally refuse to make noodles, turns out it was to be used for interrogation”
Gu Qing Shan sighed and asked Ye Fei Li: “Understood?”
“Understood, I won’t ask for noodles anymore”
Ye Fei Li sincerely replied.
Laura was still in complete disbelief and asked: “Gu Qing Shan, how did you notice that they were fake?”
Gu Qing Shan stroked her head and replied: “Anna loves drinking even more than I do, but she didn’t touch any of the bottles I left on the table before I started cooking”
“What about Kitty?”
“Kitty isn’t the kind of person to keep her opinions to herself. Earlier, when I made her a bowl of savoury soft tofu, she praised it to be delicious”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“She only likes her tofu sweet, it’s her brother Barry that likes it savoury”
