Chapter 550: Chapter 433: The Time Thief (Part 2)

In the bar.

The conversation among the people had just begun.

"Would you like to kill someone with me?" Shen Xiujun asked.

"Kill someone..." Zhao Junyu paused, puzzled, and said, "Why kill someone?"

Shen Xiujun waved her hand quickly, saying:

"No, what I actually meant to say was, Brother Wu, do you like me?"

She revealed a stunningly beautiful smile.

Just as Zhao Junyu was about to be moved, he saw her open her mouth and let out a string of laughter that was nothing like the sound of silver bells:

"Jie jie jie jie jie."

The newly born romantic atmosphere suddenly died.

Zhao Junyu was stunned.

—Why would a girl like you laugh like that!

Wu Xiaode was almost ready to cheer from the sidelines.

Well done, Elder Xiao!

A female voice emerged in his mind:

"You’ve drawn this monster into a realm of emotion familiar to mortals. They should be fine for now, but you—"

"You need to find an excuse to get out of the monster’s sight immediately!"

"Is getting out of sight enough?" Wu Xiaode asked silently.

"Yes, once out of sight, I can make it so they won’t detect your presence. We can go steal time now!" the fairy Chris said.

Wu Xiaode nodded imperceptibly.

Yes.

He had to take advantage of the fact that the Double Demons were trapped and swiftly go steal the Time Corpse.

But Elder Xiao had just returned to the bar with two bundles of roses, and now he had to leave immediately—wouldn’t the monster become suspicious?

It wouldn’t work.

He must find a natural and secure excuse to leave.

His thoughts raced, and he suddenly spoke out, "Xiujun, which girl laughs with a ’jie jie jie’? You might scare Little Wu."

Shen Xiujun glanced at him and said nothing.

This trash isn’t worth any interaction with her.

Xiao Baihong, hidden inside Shen Xiujun’s body, also remained silent.

—The Double Demons aren’t fools. What if any clue is revealed when I respond, wouldn’t that endanger Little Wu?

Zhao Junyu was the one who actually responded.

"Xiujun, here’s a drink you can have."

Zhao Junyu placed two bottles of drinks on the bar, his gaze turning toward Shen Xiujun.

This girl... is a bit strange...

He needed to understand her further.

Shen Xiujun looked at him and then turned to Xiao Baihong, curiously asking:

"Brother Wu, what is your relationship with him?"

At this moment, "Brother Wu" referred to Zhao Junyu while "Xiao Baihong" referred to Wu Xiaode.

Zhao Junyu glanced at Xiao Baihong and smiled, saying:

"He’s my good brother, Xiao Baihong, skilled in—"

What is Xiao Baihong skilled in?

Fighting, going crazy.

Yet Wu Xiaode couldn’t let Zhao Junyu reveal Xiao Baihong’s characteristics, as the real Xiao Baihong was inside Shen Xiujun, and it would be bad if their actions were seen through.

He immediately interrupted Zhao Junyu, saying:

"This big brother is skilled in picking up girls."

Zhao Junyu nodded and said, "Elder Xiao is a very charming man, much better than me in any case."

Shen Xiujun smiled softly, saying, "Brother Wu, in my heart, you are the truly charming man."

Perhaps feeling embarrassed, she covered her mouth with her hand.

—Covering her mouth so she wouldn’t let out a "jie jie jie" laugh.

The atmosphere slowly started to rise again.

Zhao Junyu, after being complimented, blushed slightly, his eyes flickering with a kind of glow named "the pride of a loyal fool."

"Haha, it’s not really like that, I’m still trying."

As he spoke, he sat down on the chair to the left of Shen Xiujun.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaode knew the loyal fool was back in action, but suddenly, an idea came to him.

He smoothly took the seat on Shen Xiujun’s right.

"Hey, hey, Little Wu, for such a wonderful girl, how about we compete fairly?"

He half-jokingly said.

A murderous intent stirred within Shen Xiujun.

Carrying another person, winning this mission is already difficult.

—You trash, don’t mess things up!

"This person wants to compete with Wu Xiaode for you, how should we handle this?"

The Time Corpse’s Parasite asked silently.

The Feeding Demon Master responded, "We can’t kill him. Given his relationship with Little Wu, if we kill him, Little Wu’s reputation will be eternally hateful, we need to find a way to drive him away."

"Little Hong, do you like me?"

Shen Xiujun widened her eyes, her pupils showing surprise.

As Xiao Baihong, Wu Xiaode didn’t respond.

After all, he wasn’t sure if responding at this moment would be considered a loss of reputation.

"Xiujun," he said softly, "Drinking these has no fun, wouldn’t you rather have some alcohol with me?"

Shen Xiujun glanced at the bar behind filled with all sorts of bottles, her mind suddenly filled with much knowledge of human society.

"I’d love to have a drink with you, but they don’t have the ones I like."

She said, half wistful, half disappointed.

Wu Xiaode picked up the conversation, "They have whisky, brandy, and champagne here; what would you like to drink, Xiujun?"

"But I like to drink sauce-flavored baijiu," Shen Xiujun said.

Wu Xiaode turned his head to look at the various types of alcohol behind the bar and said in surprise, "They really don’t have that."

Shen Xiujun’s face showed a plea and she softly said:

"Little Hong, could you find me some of that liquor? Thank you."

"Your request is my command, I’ll go buy it right now."

Wu Xiaode said gently.

Success!

This monster wanted to eliminate all distracting factors and focus on Wu Xiaode.

—When I become a distracting factor, it surely wants me to leave quickly.

Plus, it was the monster itself that had asked him to find the liquor—

Such a departure was secure!

Wu Xiaode stood up and strode towards the exit of the bar.

"I’ll be back soon."

As his words fell,

the door of the bar closed.

Shen Xiujun breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Wu Xiaode (Zhao Junyu).

"Brother Wu, he’s actually not the type I like. You won’t blame me for sending him away, will you?"

She playfully stuck out her tongue.

Zhao Junyu laughed understandingly, shaking his head, "Of course I won’t blame you. Matters of the heart can never be forced."

They looked at each other for a moment and then laughed together.

Only this time, Shen Xiujun forgot to cover her mouth, so—

"Hee hee hee!"

Xiao Baihong let out a mischievous laugh.

...

The SUV sped down the highway.

Xiao Baihong (Wu Xiaode) was at the steering wheel, his expression indifferent.

His broad-brimmed hat suddenly opened a crack, and Chris poked her head out, whispering:

"We’re safe enough now. We can go steal time!"

"How do we go?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Watch this—"

Chris tapped his smooth forehead with her short staff.

A drop of ink-like black water seeped out from Wu Xiaode’s forehead and was tightly captured by the short staff.

As soon as the black drop appeared, it immediately began to struggle desperately, as if trying to escape.

"Look, this is the Law power of that Parasite, trying to invade your soul, but it just met me."

Chris said proudly.

Wu Xiaode gasped and said in a low voice, "On the surface, it seems to be at a stalemate with me, but in reality, it’s making a move against me."

"Hehe, it’s precisely because it has such tricks that it can parasitize on time—but now, its tricks will serve my purpose!"

Chris waved her staff.

The black drop instantly transformed into a small black key, which gently probed into the Void.

In an instant.

The whole world vanished.

"Activate your ’Everday City,’ or you’ll still be detected," Chris advised.

Wu Xiaode did as told.

He then suddenly remembered something—

Everday City was an extremely secret Divine Skill. Why did Chris know about it?

Wu Xiaode was troubled by this thought when suddenly he saw a scene he had never seen before begin to appear around him.

The world turned to darkness.

He was standing in a deep abyss of darkness, with an endless expanse of water beneath his feet.

"Chris, where is this place?"

Chris became serious and said firmly:

"Be careful, never turn off the ’Everday City’ you’re wearing—this place is the sleeping abyss of all Taboo things. If it weren’t for your ’Everday City,’ I wouldn’t dare come here with you!"

She waved her staff, muttering words under her breath.

The black key threaded on the staff once again transformed into a drop of water.

"Done!"

Chris exclaimed.

The drop of water immediately unfolded, turning into a misty black fog that enveloped Wu Xiaode.

At the same time, Wu Xiaode began to slowly sink.

As if given some kind of permission—

His entire body submerged into the water, plunging continuously towards the deep abyss.

Total darkness.

Wu Xiaode felt he could see nothing, sense nothing, only feeling himself falling rapidly.

A sense of indescribable loneliness and fear slowly surfaced in his heart.

"Hang in there a little longer."

Chris whispered softly.

She kept manipulating the black fog, maintaining it around Wu Xiaode.

Just like that, he kept sinking.

Sinking.

Sinking.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaode felt he stepped on something.

Chris’s voice came in a whisper thin as a mosquito:

"Don’t move, we’ve hit a Taboo Corpse, the good news is it hasn’t woken up yet. You must jump away to a distance so that we can continue sinking."

Wu Xiaode did as instructed, leaping forward with force.

Suddenly, at that instant when he leapt,

he heard Chris let out a short, panic-stricken scream.

"It’s awake!"

Chris cried out.

A bad premonition immediately surfaced in Wu Xiaode’s mind.

What would a monster do once awake?

Forget it!

Just don’t let it catch you!

In a flash, as Wu Xiaode kept leaping forward, a dense mass of bronze hands emerged from behind, solidifying into a bronze wall.

In a moment.

Wu Xiaode reached out and grasped another bronze hand that emerged in front of him.

The moment he grasped the bronze hand, it swung around in a circle, thrusting him outward with all its might.

—His jumping direction changed!

And in that instant, Wu Xiaode felt a presence.

Something hit the bronze wall he had set, utterly destroying it in one fell swoop, then it surged forward, seizing that bronze hand.

"Disperse."

Wu Xiaode whispered internally.

The bronze hand immediately disappeared.

At the same time, he was falling deeper into an even further abyss.

"Actually escaped!"

Chris’s voice of disbelief rang in his ears.

Wu Xiaode kept a calm expression, focusing all his effort on maintaining the "Everday City," while deploying more bronze hands in the previous space to confuse the pursuer.

As time passed, he moved farther and farther from that place.

The uneasiness in his heart gradually faded.

"Wu, your reaction speed is good enough to join our Fist Game!"

Chris said admiringly.

The next second.

Wu Xiaode felt himself pass through a strange barrier, his feet landing on solid ground.

Ahead.

A massive bronze door loomed into view.

"Is this the place?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"We’ve arrived! This is where the Time Corpse is hidden!" Chris said.
