Shura's Wrath

“What am I seeing… I can’t believe my eyes.” Elder Dita leapt onto the mountain of treasures, his body threatening to collapse under how much he was shaking. Good materials were like their lives to Dwarves, and seeing so many treasures heaped in front of him, he felt like he was in heaven. Smelling the unique smells from the metals and other materials, and looking at the high-grade materials that he had only read about in books, Elder Dita almost went mad. “Azure Cloud Stone, Jade-Blood Glass, Dark Secret Gold, Overlord Rock, Starwood… my god, my god… ah, this… this is Chilling Crystal Chalcedony! This is Chilling Crystal Chalcedony, which only exists in records – something that even our Progenitor has never seen before!”

Elder Dita continued to mutter to himself, sometimes crying out, wishing that he could bury himself in these treasures. Soon, he was unable to hear anything Ling Chen said. Ling Chen tapped his nose and could only walk away – leaving these treasures here with the Dwarves was undoubtedly the best thing to do. As for what they could be used for, that was what the Dwarves specialised in. Of course, Ling Chen hadn’t given them everything – he had kept some of the Chilling Crystal Chalcedony because not only was it a top-grade material, but it could also instantly increase one’s level.

“Xiao Xue, what’s going on with the Skyfall Dynasty?” Ling Chen pulled Li Xiao Xue aside and asked her the question that had been on his mind the entire time.

Li Xiao Xue did not directly answer. She swept back some loose strands of hair as she said, “Come meet someone with me tomorrow.”

“Who is it?”

“Gu Qing Han.” Li Xiao Xue smiled.

“Her? What does it have to do with her?” Ling Chen felt quite shocked. He had long since heard of Gu Qing Han, but had only seen her once. It was that time when he had gone to visit Li Xiao Xue, and the elegant aura that she gave off left a deep impression on him. However, he had only briefly seen her, and there was nothing between them.

“In this world, the only person who can order the 3 Heavenly Kings to take their Skyfall Dynasty on a suicide mission is Gu Qing Han. Not even their father would be able to do such a thing. As for her reason, you’ll know tomorrow when you meet her.” Li Xiao Xue folded her arms around her chest as she smiled lightly. This was something she often did.

Ling Chen frowned and thought before asking, “Does she know my real-life identity and where I’m staying?”

“Yes,” Li Xiao Xue replied. “However, don’t worry – she’s more intelligent than any other woman. Since she was willing to give up the entire Skyfall Dynasty to help you, she naturally wants to possess a good relationship with you. How could she expose you? From how I see it, she’s probably like me found some worth in you… I’ll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon... remember not to go out.”

After giving Ling Chen a coquettish gaze, Li Xiao Xue turned around as she faintly smiled and walked away. There was a look within her eyes that made her seem like she could see through everything in the world… what would the situation be like tomorrow?

After Li Xiao Xue left, Winter of That Year and Hundred Miles of Ice, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found an opportunity to come over to Ling Chen’s side.

“Ling Tian… do you have anything to say to us?” In front of Ling Chen, Winter of That Year was not as frivolous and flippant as he usually was. He had a complicated expression, and Hundred Miles of Ice also looked quite serious. Both of his sword-like eyes were piercing into Ling Chen.

“What year did the two of you enter ‘Heaven’?” Ling Chen frowned as he coldly asked. This question caused Winter of That Year and Hundred Miles of Ice’s pupils to contract.

“So you really were somewhere from there! I never thought that after that explosion, apart from us, there were other survivors!” Winter of That Year said while trying to suppress his emotions, though his heart rate still sped up. He and Hundred Miles of Ice were both humans, but they were different from other people. They were ‘humans’ who no longer belonged in the world. They only had each other in this vast world, and only they knew the feeling of loneliness, inferiority, and exclusion that they felt.

Now that they had suddenly found someone in the same boat as them, they felt delighted and felt a sense of closeness.

“Answer me first, what year? Ling Chen asked.
