Chapter 34 Young, Helpless, and Can Eat a Lot
Gu Yu’s plan was very successful. By the time the poison powder in his hand had been sprinkled from top to bottom, accompanied by Zha Zha’s circling flight, there was not a single person left standing below.
Looking down at the piled-up corpses below, Gu Yu sneered, thinking that the price on his life was truly too high.
So many people had died because they wanted to kill him; the forces behind it had really paid a heavy price.
It was a pity that they had underestimated Gu Yu’s capabilities.
Even if another army were sent to hunt Gu Yu, they would ultimately meet a tragic end, dead in a foreign land.
“Zha Zha!”
“I have no sympathy for them. Since they wanted to take my life, they must have been prepared to lose theirs… I just feel it’s a pity that I couldn’t capture the leaders of the Tianjue Organization and the death warriors. I only killed a bunch of flies that posed no great threat.”
“Zha?”
“I had to act then, otherwise, after these people left, we would be harassed again! So, even though their leaders didn’t show up, I directly used the poison powder! This outing isn’t a complete loss; rather, it resolved a large group of people, and we won’t be harassed like before.”
Standing on Zha Zha’s back, Gu Yu’s eyes were cold and merciless, showing no pity for the corpses below.
When he heard Zha Zha’s curious inquiry, Gu Yu didn’t hold back and shared his regrets.
Hearing this, Zha Zha couldn’t help but roll its bird eyes, thinking it shouldn’t have had any expectations of its cruel and heartless master!
Even when it was a young, helpless, and edible Gu worm, Gu Yu had always spoken to it coldly and even threatened to throw it into a latrine.
How could he possibly feel any sympathy for these enemies now!
“Zha Zha!!!”
“We can’t leave yet. There are too many corpses below, we need to clean up.”
Then, hearing Zha Zha’s desire to leave, Gu Yu smiled and shook his head.
Afterward, he raised his hand and tapped the bird’s head, signaling Zha Zha to fly low. Gu Yu’s hand then produced a large wooden barrel. After opening the lid of the barrel, he began to pour kerosene from the air.
Due to the convenience of his space and the fact that Gu Yu had prepared plenty, after pouring barrel after barrel of kerosene, all the corpses below were doused.
When Gu Yu signaled Zha Zha to fly higher, he took out a fire starter from his space.
After blowing on the fire starter, watching the small sparks appear, he smiled and threw it down.
When the embers of the fire starter came into contact with the kerosene, flames instantly erupted, growing from small to large and engulfing the many corpses in the flames.
Gu Yu looked at the large fire below, which illuminated the dark night, and enjoyed the thrilling sensation of arson.
If Gu Mengyao saw this, he wouldn’t dare to do it, for fear of being lectured by his little wife again.
Fortunately, Gu Mengyao was not there.
Gu Yu seemed to have flipped an ‘evil’ switch, acting according to his desires. He extended his devilish hands to those who dared to kill him, making them scream and suffer torture in hell.
Smiling as he watched the fire, Gu Yu sighed and switched off his ‘evil’ mode.
Then, he stepped on Zha Zha and flew back to their lodging, preparing to rest and continue their journey the next day.
Although Zha Zha had shown off its aerial skills earlier, almost making Gu Yu vomit, after being dealt with, Gu Yu stood on the bird’s back very steadily, with no chance of falling off.
When Gu Yu and Zha Zha landed, a dark silhouette rushed towards them like a gust of wind. In a few seconds, Gu Mengyao appeared before Gu Yu.
After checking him thoroughly from all sides, Gu Mengyao finally confirmed that Gu Yu was unharmed.
Such repeated checks made Gu Yu feel amused and exasperated, thinking that his little wife seemed to think of him as very weak!
Those people just now were no match for him; if he still got injured, he would be too much of a weakling.
“It’s a good thing you returned safely. I’ve already killed those who were staking out outside.”
“I told you I would return safely. Don’t worry!”
Smiling, Gu Yu pulled Gu Mengyao into his embrace and gently comforted his little wife, who always worried about him. In his heart, however, he felt warmed by her concern.
No matter how powerful Gu Yu was, he still wished for someone who would constantly worry about him.
Of course, if it were any other son-in-law who married into the wife’s family, he might find his wife’s worry annoying and become irritable because of it.
But Gu Yu was different.
With absolute strength, Gu Yu was very confident, unlike those insecure sons-in-law who married into the wife’s family.
He gladly accepted Gu Mengyao’s worry.
“Have those who were following us been dealt with?”
After seeing that Gu Yu was safe and sound, Gu Mengyao was no longer worried and asked curiously about how things went.
Were those persistent followers resolved?
Previously, when she heard Gu Yu’s plan, Gu Mengyao had expressed her opposition, not wanting Gu Yu, who couldn’t fight, to act. She worried he might be harmed in a situation where swords were indiscriminate.
Even though Gu Yu had many trump cards for self-preservation, if he were to get injured, Gu Mengyao felt she would go berserk and kill all those people!
However, after Gu Yu let Zha Zha demonstrate its ability to carry passengers, Gu Mengyao could only nod in agreement.
After all, staying in the air wouldn’t cause much harm and would allow for better concealment.
“After I scattered the poison powder, I dealt with more than half of them, but their leader didn’t appear… However, we don’t have to worry about them bothering us anymore.”
“Hmm, it’s good enough that we won’t be bothered. We can continue to travel quickly! But if their leaders weren’t killed, will they try to steal the treasure later?”
When Gu Mengyao asked, Gu Yu briefly recounted what had happened, and Gu Mengyao nodded in understanding.
Gu Yu killing more than half of them on this trip was already quite good, saving them from dealing with sudden assassins every day.
However, upon thinking that Gu Yu mentioned the leaders of the Tianjue Organization and the death warriors were not killed, Gu Mengyao spoke again.
It was an unforeseen development that this treasure hunt journey would be so fraught with peril!
Gu Mengyao had originally wanted to have a romantic trip with her little husband during their rest time, but she never expected it to turn into a experience of being chased and fighting back.
It was far from the romance she had imagined!
“If they dare to come, I will make sure not a single one of them returns.”
Upon hearing Gu Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu’s lips couldn’t help but curve upwards. He then turned his head to look at the skyward firelight not far away, his eyes full of eagerness.
