Chapter 231 Family and Country in Dire Straits (1)
When Gu Yao left the world, he seemed to faintly sense the vibration of the small world.
Before they could react, 0529 slammed the passage shut.
Gu Yao looked at 0529 suspiciously, "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"
0529's expression stiffened, he shook his head, and awkwardly laughed, "Host, it's nothing."
Gu Yao stared at the person suspiciously, while the system, feeling guilty, didn't dare to meet its host's gaze.
0529 breathed a sigh of relief only after that burning gaze withdrew.
He couldn't very well tell the host that the chosen one of destiny had died for him, causing the small world to collapse.
"Host, now we're settling accounts. The 'Immoral and Ungrateful' world has earned 10,000 points and 50,000 merit points."
The account currently has 15,000 points and 200,000 merit points.
Gu Yao asked in confusion, "Wasn't it supposed to be five thousand worlds all along?"
"Because the difficulty of the tasks has increased, coupled with inflation, all subsequent tasks will now require 10,000 points."
Gu Yao nodded.
Looking at Gu Yao, who had a "deep" expression, 0529 carefully considered his words before speaking, "Host, do you need to rest for a bit?"
Gu Yao, who was lost in thought, turned his head in confusion. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No need. Let's go to the next world."
0529 originally wanted to persuade Gu Yao to rest for a while, but the vibration coming from outside the space passage made his expression change.
He quickly pulled out the light screen and began extracting worlds. "World extraction complete. Next world: 'The Difficulty of Family and Country.' Please prepare, host."
Before Gu Yao could react, he was thrown into a new world.
Gu Yao: "..." I'm numb.
Why is my stupid system always so fast?
After sending his host away, 0529 breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling the spatial passage vibrate even more violently, his expression darkened, and he raised his hand to open the spatial door.
The soul entity that was attacking the spatial passage turned around when it saw someone approaching from behind.
That face was unmistakably Bu Shaoluan's.
He calmly observed the boy before him. "Who are you? Where is he?"
0529 remained calm, a sharp sword materializing in his hand. He raised his hand, the sharp tip pointing directly at the soul in front of him. "Why be so stubborn? You and he were never meant to be together."
The spirit saw the sword in the boy's hand and stared at it for a long time. As if remembering something, it looked at 0529 and said, "I think I've seen you before. You were with him, but you didn't look like this back then."
So, where is he?
Upon hearing this, 0529's expression darkened further. "Go back to where you came from!"
The soul seemed not to hear the system's words and stubbornly asked, "Where is he?"
The system didn't want to say anything more, and raised its sword, intending to knock the uninvited guest out of its way.
However, the system in the background received the message that the maintenance system had been successfully repaired first, and he gave the soul in front of him a kind smile.
Then, he kicked him away and quickly activated the protective shield.
Looking at the gloomy-faced spirit outside, 0529 clapped his hands, in a great mood, and made a face at the bastard.
"Want to see the host? Dream on."
The soul looked up, its gaze lingering on the system's back through the transparent light screen. It reached out and touched the light screen, causing a ripple.
The spirit's fingers easily pierced through the protective light barrier.
The soul entity paused for a moment, then walked directly into the protective shield.
The aura of A Yao's soul still lingers.
He looked in the direction where Gu Yao's soul aura had left, and a maniacal and morbid smile appeared on his lips.
Ah Yao, you can't escape.
***
Feeling great that he had solved a major problem, 0529 packed his things and headed to the next world.
Gu Yao, who was suddenly thrown into the new world by the system, is currently standing in a courtyard.
And they know nothing about it.
Gu Yao looked around and realized it was a wealthy family. Looking down at his own attire, he understood the era he was living in.
The maid leading the way noticed that Gu Yao hadn't moved and asked in confusion, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, the young master is waiting for you in the backyard. Please follow me."
Gu Yao raised his hand to adjust the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a gentle smile, a habitual gesture, appeared on his lips. "I was a little distracted just now. Please lead the way."
The little maid was dazzled by the smile and quickly lowered her head.
"It's no trouble at all, please follow me."
Gu Yao smiled and followed the maid forward.
He was secretly observing the layout of the courtyard without making a sound.
It's a traditional Chinese house.
Judging by its size, it's a large house with three courtyards and three entrances.
Gu Yao lowered his eyes, not knowing where his stupid system had gone, so he could only deal with it himself for the time being.
The maid led him to a room, where Gu Yao stood at the door.
The maid raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Young master, Mr. Gu has arrived."
A low growl came from inside the room, "Get out!"
The maid was startled and looked at Gu Yao somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Gu, please don't take offense. My young master rarely sees strangers."
Gu Yao shook his head, his face still bearing that impeccable gentle smile. "It's alright."
The maid took a deep breath and knocked on the door again. Before she could speak, the door shook, followed by the sound of porcelain shattering.
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow. It must have been a teacup that hit the door.
The little maid was so frightened that she took a step back.
But seeing Gu Yao still standing behind her, she raised her hand to knock on the door again, but Gu Yao stopped her.
"Now that you've led the way, I'll take care of the rest."
The young maid looked at the hand lying in front of her. It was as white as jade, with slightly curved fingers that revealed the shape of the hand bones. Every detail was exquisite. On the slender wrist was a string of seven-jeweled Buddhist prayer beads.
A little more and you'll be fat; a little less and you'll be thin.
The young maid stared at those delicate hands, realizing she had lost her focus, and felt a slight blush creep up her face.
She quickly lowered her head, glanced at the tightly closed door, and carefully spoke, "Young Master has a bad temper, please be careful, sir, and avoid getting into a conflict with him."
Gu Yao nodded. "Don't worry."
The maidservant bowed her head and withdrew.
Gu Yao smiled.
The smile vanished the moment he turned around.
Without saying hello, he simply raised his hand and opened the door.
The person sitting at the table seemed surprised that Gu Yao would be so bold as to enter the room without saying hello, and their expression darkened.
“My father said that Mr. Gu is an upright gentleman with extensive knowledge. But now, his behavior of entering the room without the master’s permission makes him look like a dissolute.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yao looked at the person in front of him with great interest.
If he hadn't spoken first, he would have mistaken the person in front of him for a girl.
The androgynous boy had a beautiful face with soft features, and he was wearing a pink dress and had long hair, which made him quite misleading.
Gu Yao smiled, but the boy's face darkened even more.
