Chapter 46: Don’t Hang Out with God Scum!
“Yes,” Jiang Yun nodded earnestly. “Most of the treasures nowadays are mass-produced, so they lack spirituality. However, in the past, the ancient gods put a lot of effort into making these treasures. As a result, they possessed spirituality and would recognize their owners. When their rightful owners took them, they wouldn’t feel heavy. But others might find them difficult to take. Fu Su’s Immortal Sword is an example. I think these treasures also don’t want to stay in the Immortal Realm Supermarket and are eager to find their owners.”
“Really?” I exclaimed joyfully as I looked at a whole box of “junk.” “So, I’ve hit the jackpot?”
“It’s possible,” Jiang Yun said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. I nudged him and said, “Quick, help me see if there’s anything useful among these items in the Six Realms Baidu Encyclopedia.”
“Alright,” he said, holding a blood bag and starting to rummage through the box. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pulled out a thin, rose-gold jumpsuit. The translucent outfit was embroidered with many roses. It was completely see-through, and you couldn’t even be sure if there were roses covering the crucial parts to preserve modesty.
And…this thing reminded me of something not quite harmonious…clothes for adults, you know, that kind of thing…
“You can wear this!” he said, placing the transparent, rose-embroidered outfit directly in front of me. My face turned red in an instant, luckily I had my mask on. “No, no, no, I can’t. It’s too revealing.”
“This is worn underneath,” he added, as if afraid I would misunderstand.
I shook my head repeatedly. “Even underneath…I can’t wear it…”
“Xiao Lan, don’t think too much,” he said, seemingly understanding what I was thinking. “This outfit is called the Rose Armor.”
Armor! Well, that got my attention.
He continued to examine the outfit in his hands. “The Rose Armor has been missing for a long time. It seems it was discarded as trash. This armor possesses a strong spirituality. It will protect you based on your likes and dislikes towards others. For example, if you dislike someone…”
“Fu Su!” I said, using Fu Su as an example with resentment.
Jiang Yun smiled and continued, “Exactly, Fu Su. After you wear this outfit, if Fu Su touches you, the armor will immediately produce poison thorns to sting him.”
“Really?” I exclaimed excitedly as I grabbed the Rose Battle Armor, which was almost weightless in my hands. This outfit was simply tailor-made for me! I won’t spare that scummy god Fu Su!
“And, as your level of dislike increases, the armor’s attacks on others will become more and more powerful. If it’s someone you hate, it can even generate thunderous electric shocks that cover your whole body. No one will be able to approach you!” Jiang Yun said, his gaze growing nostalgic. “This is a true treasure. In the past, treasures could only be triggered by certain emotions, making them troublesome to use and having their own temperaments. That’s why they were gradually abandoned and replaced by the current more versatile but rigid treasures.”
I held the lightweight Rose Armor in my hands and said, “Why would someone throw away such a great thing?”
“Hmph,” Jiang Yun chuckled lightly, his gaze turning cold as he looked at me. “Do people let others know when they dislike them? Like Fu Su, many people dislike him, but who would say it out loud? And this outfit,” Jiang Yun pointed at the Rose Armor, “is honest.”
Suddenly, I understood. It wasn’t difficult to comprehend. We live in a complex society where, most of the time, we have to wear masks. It’s a kind of deception, but also a helpless way to protect ourselves. I believe that if given the chance, everyone would want to remove their masks.
“Oh, this is probably a long-range healing gun,” Jiang Yun took out a very beautiful handgun with intricate patterns engraved on it. He raised an eyebrow and asked, “How does this work? What are the bullets?” He began to study it intently.
“Ding ding ding, mission is about to start,” the sound of my phone notification rang. I picked up the Rose Armor and looked at Jiang Yun. “Jiang Yun, you can research these things for me. I’ll go on the mission. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”
Jiang Yun didn’t say anything. I looked at him, and he was already deeply engrossed in studying the treasures in the box.
I looked at the Rose Armor in my hands and decided to try it on. As I was about to put it on, the thin fabric suddenly disappeared from my hands. But then, my body tightened abruptly, as if someone had tightly bound my waist, even lifting up my chest!
I stood frozen for a moment, stealing a glance at Jiang Yun who was focused on his research. Thankfully, he didn’t notice. I discreetly touched my body. This outfit even had a shaping effect! Wow! From now on, I can save money on bras. What a great find!
With excitement in my heart, I grabbed my bag and opened the door. Almost running into someone’s chest. Who else could it be but Mo Ming? I quickly pulled back and looked up at him. “Do you need to eavesdrop?”
Mo Ming didn’t look at me, he first glanced at Jiang Yun in my room, then turned his gaze to me. He reached out his hand, and in his palm was his adorable clone! And, it was even dressed in ancient clothing!
“This is last year’s limited edition in ancient style. I thought… you might like it,” he said, his eyes looking elsewhere.
“It’s so cute!” I happily grabbed it, nodding repeatedly. “I love it! Oh, and it has long hair!” I touched the long hair behind the clone with my index finger. Mo Ming suddenly stiffened in front of me. “Uh-oh! It’s dangerous!”
After speaking, he swiftly returned to his room, leaving only a gust of wind behind.
“Thud!” He closed the door, and I smiled, holding his clone as I bid him farewell. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m leaving.” The door in front of me remained calm, without a sound.
But after taking two steps, I stopped. “Where is the Stairway to Heaven?”
“Whoosh!” The gust of wind appeared again, and Mo Ming was now standing in front of me in his wolf form. In the narrow corridor, his emerald green eyes looked at me. “I’ll take you there.”
Under my mask, I smiled with my slightly movable mouth. Apart from not being able to be together with him, he’s actually quite good. I hope my senior, who will supervise me in the future, will also be someone easy to get along with as a child of gods and demons.
The Stairway to Heaven is located in a separate transparent building, with glass all around and a rounded arch-shaped roof! When entering the entrance, there was a security-like gate to prevent any prohibited items from being brought in or taken out. I felt a bit guilty as I passed through it, worrying if a mundane cellphone counted as a prohibited item. But the alarm didn’t go off, so what exactly counts as a prohibited item in the immortal realm?
After passing through the security check, I entered different glass corridors with automated walkways leading to different staircases.
Many times, it proves that ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel.
When I saw my supervisor, my first reaction was to hold onto Mo Ming’s wolf form and not want to go any further, saying, “No~~~~~ I don’t want to~~~~~”
“Woo~~~~” Mo Ming also stared fiercely at that person with his wolf face, growling angrily in his throat.
Standing next to the staircase was the person who leisurely crossed his arms, occasionally flicking his handsome long hair. It was none other than Fu Su, wearing a black mask!
Why?!
Among the countless senior students in the immortal realm, why did it have to be him!
What a misfortune!!!
