Chapter 33: Yang Shou Is Not Network Fees
The torture, ten thousand times more cruel than any physical pain, left Gu Qianyang unable to even scream.
However, at this moment, a white light shone from the darkness towards Qin Liu’s location.
The latter frowned and tried to completely crush Gu Qianyang’s head, but the bronze mirror in front of her extended countless hands and snatched Gu Qianyang’s body away. What remained in Qin Liu’s hand was only a head with wide, ferocious eyes.
His mouth was still opening and closing, saying something unknown.
But Qin Liu had no interest in knowing what it said.
Was it a plea for mercy? Or a curse?
She didn’t care at all.
She simply crushed the head, just like crushing an ant.
Rotten blood passed through her body, splattering on the wall. The remaining eyeball also rolled down from the wall.
Liu Haoyu looked at the girl who was like a god of slaughter, his expression slightly stunned, but after reacting, he showed a helpless expression on his face.
“Didn’t I tell you to stay inside Hong Yu and let me handle it…”
Even though he said that, seeing Qin Liu crush Gu Qianyang’s head in one go was very satisfying.
However, now that he knew how the mirror door operated, it made Liu Haoyu even more worried about Qin Liu’s physical condition.
“How is your body?”
Qin Liu hesitated for a long time before shaking her head.
Liu Haoyu squinted his eyes, walked up to Qin Liu, and held her hand.
“You’re lying.”
“But…”
Qin Liu wanted to explain something with her mouth.
When Gu Qianyang’s bronze mirror shot out that white light, she felt a very strong sense of crisis.
It was as if she had a gun pointed at her forehead. In her haste, she immediately came out of Hong Yu and appeared behind Gu Qianyang, killing him with one blow.
Only after reacting did Qin Liu realize that this light was very dangerous for her, whose Yang Shou was about to expire.
It had no effect on Liu Haoyu at all.
However, although Gu Qianyang’s head was crushed, within a few seconds, someone had rescued his body.
As for who it was…
Qin Liu looked at the fork in the road not far away.
The white light had come from that direction just now.
In other words, the attacker was in that position?
Just as Qin Liu was about to walk over there, a sense of powerlessness made her almost fall to the ground.
The dizziness made her unable to even stand up.
The aura of death was approaching, making Qin Liu realize one thing.
Because she had just used the Guide’s ability, even a simple spell had completely exhausted her Yang Shou…
“Ugh…”
“You said you’re fine!?”
Seeing Qin Liu almost fall, Liu Haoyu rushed forward to support her.
When his hand touched Qin Liu’s body, he found that her body temperature was rapidly dropping, and Liu Haoyu was startled.
“Black Book!”
“Understood.”
Upon sensing the anomaly in Qin Liu’s body, the Black Book immediately landed on Qin Liu’s head and stabilized her soul as much as possible.
But even so, it didn’t seem to stop her condition from worsening.
Therefore, the Black Book could only call Black and White Impermanence.
“Open the Ghost Gate!”
Black and White Impermanence happened to be in the Human World, so entering Youdu would become much easier.
The Black Book knew that once Qin Liu entered Youdu, her condition would improve.
As soon as the words fell, the Ghost Gate opened with a roar.
The underworld wind, carrying a biting cold, swept out from behind the door, scraping against Liu Haoyu’s face like a knife.
“Hurry in! Her soul is about to become unstable!”
Hearing the Black Book’s urging, Liu Haoyu could no longer care about anything else. He hugged Qin Liu tightly and rushed directly into the Ghost Gate.
But as soon as he entered, he felt his foot step on nothing, and he rapidly fell.
“Hold onto me.”
After arriving in the underworld, Qin Liu’s condition clearly improved a lot.
This was a place for the dead to come, and she was not much different from a dead person now.
The Black Coffin protected her body, but to completely save her soul, other methods were still needed.
However, Liu Haoyu had no clues, and the Black Book could only say to Liu Haoyu in a desperate attempt.
“Go find King Yama. He might have a way.”
As he spoke, the scene in front of Liu Haoyu suddenly distorted. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in front of the majestic Yama Hall in Youdu.
“I… I’m fine.”
Qin Liu got off Liu Haoyu. She seemed no different from usual, but in reality, it was not the case.
Liu Haoyu could clearly feel that the death aura on her had become even more intense. Whether this situation could still be considered alive was debatable.
In fact, Qin Liu seemed to have accepted reality. Looking at the rebuilt Yama Hall in front of her, her eyes were filled with emotion.
“So be it. Gu Qianyang, even if he’s not dead, he’s severely injured.”
“Liu Haoyu, you can handle it alone from now on.”
“As for me, I’ll stay in Youdu and wait for you for a few decades… that’s fine too.”
The young girl’s face showed a trace of reluctance and helplessness. In fact, it was true. Without a solution to her Yang Shou, the outcome was the same whether Gu Qianyang was there or not.
Her action would instead reduce Liu Haoyu’s burden and danger.
This was quite good…
“Ouch!”
Just as Qin Liu was giving up, Liu Haoyu punched her on the head.
“What are you waiting for? She’s still hanging in there!”
“As long as she’s not dead, it means there’s hope. Go ask King Yama.”
“Ah… alright.”
Qin Liu opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Liu Haoyu’s persistence, she decided not to.
Being able to spend one more minute together was one more minute.
While talking, the two walked into the Yama Hall.
Qin Liu curiously looked around. Compared to forty years ago, the facilities and decoration here had changed significantly. It seemed to have been rebuilt.
“Who goes there…”
Inside the Yama Hall, King Yama sat high at his desk. Hearing the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, and what met his eyes was something he absolutely did not want to see.
“Oh my god! How did you get here, girl? Didn’t you say you’d found the person you were looking for?”
Seeing King Yama pointing at Liu Haoyu beside him, Qin Liu spread her hands.
“What else could it be? My Yang Shou ran out. Do you think I wanted to come here?”
Seeing Qin Liu’s casual demeanor, as if she were seeing an elderly neighbor, Liu Haoyu’s mouth twitched. He then walked over, pulled her to his side, pressed her head, bowed to King Yama, and said sincerely.
“King Yama, we are here to ask if there is a way to extend Yang Shou. After all, the hidden danger of Gu Qianyang has not been removed. Compared to staying in Youdu, Qin Liu needs to return to the Human World more.”
King Yama flipped through the Book of Life and Death, saw the big “0.1 year” behind Qin Liu’s name, and stroked his beard.
“Yang Shou is not network fees, how can it be extended just like that?”
