A girl with a transparent figure was sitting atop the withered tree branch.
She almost seemed like she had melted into the fog, her visage and facial features were completely obscured. The only thing that could be clearly discerned was that she was wearing a relatively simple white ceremonial dress and that she was looking down at the two people below.
“Gu Qing Shan, she doesn’t seem to be human” Laura silently sent her voice.
“I know”
Gu Qing Shan’s expression didn’t change at all and bowed to the girl on the tree, smiling at her:
“Free food and drinks? Thank you, we were just getting hungry as well”
『 Hungry? 』hearing him say that, the girl appeared delighted as she dangled her bare feet: 『 Then hurry and dig in 』
She waved her hand.
Two bowls appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan and Laura.
As Gu Qing Shan approached it, he saw that the bowl contained a very thin white porridge.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You are conducting a saintly spirit ritual]
Gu Qing Shan was able to draw a few conjectures from that statement and asked: “Is there only porridge? Do you have other kinds of sustenance?”
The girl on the tree branch appeared a bit troubled and replied: 『 My apologies, I would have been able to give you a bit more in the past, but there is nothing but this porridge remaining now 』
Gu Qing Shan’s expression became relaxed as he smiled: “That is fine, we’re already grateful for this porridge”
He tilted his head backwards and drank the porridge all at once.
Seeing him do that, Laura also finished her bowl of porridge by drinking it.
Another line of glowing text popped up in front of Gu Qing Shan’s vision:
[The saintly spirit ritual has been completed]
He looked towards the tree branch.
The girl seemed to have sighed in relief and muttered:
『 Thank you for eating my porridge 』
“Not at all, you offered us food, so we should be thanking you” Gu Qing Shan sincerely replied.
Although he couldn’t see her expression clearly, Gu Qing Shan could sense that she was smiling.
Gu Qing Shan continued further: “Since we’ve received sustenance from you, we would like to do something for you in return”
The girl hurriedly waved her hands dismissively: 『 There is no need, my food is provided free of charge for all beings, there is no need for any repayment 』
Gu Qing Shan paused briefly then continued: “In truth, we also want to help more people as well, can you teach us how to do so?”
Hearing him say that, the girl lightly nodded her head and said: 『 Being willing to help others is a wonderful thing, what exactly do you wish to do? 』
“We want to eliminate the monster in his monastery” Gu Qing Shan replied with a cold tone.
The girl looked at him for a while without saying anything.
Laura cut in: “It’s true, you can trust us—— after all, we’re living people”
『 Leave now 』the girl suddenly said.
“Huh?” Laura was stunned.
『 While you remain inside the monastery, you can become corrupted by the temptations of Decadence at any moment, or you could be killed, converted to monsters, or even have your souls consumed—– so hurry up and leave this place now 』the girl hurriedly urged them.
“Don’t worry, we will definitely not become corrupted, those monsters won’t be able to kill us either, otherwise, we wouldn’t have made it here in the first place” Laura replied.
“Furthermore, we have the strength to do this” Gu Qing Shan continued.
Four swords appeared behind his back, all of which gave off a vibrating noise with clear killing intent.
“That’s right, just leave it to us——— at least, we’d be able to guarantee that we won’t be killed” Laura patted the Brother Cannon hanging on her back and told her.
The girl observed the two of them and slowly displayed a solemn expression.
『 Do you really intend to fight those monsters? Even if you have to give up your life to do it? 』she asked.
“Yes” Laura replied.
『 Hah… 』
The girl sighed, then manifested two dimly glowing sprites of light in her hands.
She lightly pushed her hand forward, sending the sprites of light towards Gu Qing Shan and Laura.
『 I’m very sorry. It’s not that I can’t trust you, but rather that I no longer have a chance to waste. Please show me your character 』the girl said.
“How should we do that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
『 Catch those lights 』the girl told him.
Laura and Gu Qing Shan each caught one of the lights.
The girl looked at Laura and asked: 『 Do you have sympathy and kindness? 』
Laura replied: “Of course”
The light in her hand suddenly manifested into a vision that displayed a scene of the past.
…
In the vision, Laura was sitting atop the Bramble Bird throne stretching her back: “We have good weather today, Ilya, let’s open the vault and provide relief for some of the worlds in poverty”
“Your majesty, how many would we provide relief for?”
“One hundred will do”
“Understood”
…
The vision then faded away.
The girl praised: 『 You are a kind sovereign 』
She then turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and replied: “I’m a kind person, and I have a lot of sympathy”
The light in his hand erupted into a vision as well.
…
The vision displayed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with Gu Qing Shan standing in the very center, shaking his head in disappointment: “Did you think that after becoming the Devil King, I’d open a charity or something?”
The scepter in his hand gave off a bright red flash of light.
Instantly, quadrillions of souls in hell screamed out in suffering and pain.
The bodies of those dead people collapsed, turning into sprites of light that disappeared from within hell.
The scepter in Gu Qing Shan’s hand began to give off a delighted chewing noise…
“Now, in order for everyone to no longer deepen your sins, I once again ask you all to retreat from the human realm”
“I’ve already said my piece, are there any objections?”
…
The vision ended here.
Laura: “…”
The girl: 『 … 』
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit awkward and explained: “They forced my hands, if they had remained in the human world, there would have been more innocent people who were killed”
The girl said: 『 You seem to be telling the truth, very well, then I ask you again———- have you ever deceived others, using unbelievable lies to fool others, just to achieve your goals? 』
Laura shook her head: “I’ve never deceived others before”
The sprite of light in her hand erupted again, turning into numerous visions of the past where she had shown her honest character.
Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat a bit and replied: “I normally don’t deceive people either”
The sprite of light in his hand then expanded into a vision.
…
In the middle of a sea of clouds.
A cultivator suddenly appeared on top of the clouds.
Gu Qing Shan made a dignified solemn expression and stepped forward, telling him: “Fellow Dao seeker, I congratulate you”
“Congratulate me?” the cultivator asked.
Gu Qing Shan clasped his hands in front of his chest to bow, then respectfully replied: “Indeed. You were originally the 33rd Heaven’s Inspiring Formidable Heaven Shaking Great Emperor, as you were worried of the lower realm’s suffering, you entered the mortal world and went through numerous Tribulations, only now completing your journey and returned”
The cultivator froze.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “Fellow Dao seeker, I hope that you will return to the Heaven realm, henceforth wielding the Heavenly Palace and watching over the Samsara”
…
The vision then changed.
“You were originally the Nine Heavens Jasper Light Fairy…”
“I hope that the Divine Envoy of the Five Realms’ Altar…”
“Wait a minute! All of them were either saints or fairies, why am I an envoy?”
Gu Qing Shan lowered his voice: “It is not sir envoy’s fault that you had forgotten. In truth, sir envoy was always the first person to enjoy the various benefits of the Samsara worlds, as such this position was the most lucrative within the Heavenly Palace”
…
The vision ended.
The girl: “…”
Laura: “…”
Gu Qing Shan opened his palms: “This was done in order to strengthen Mount Sumeru, it was related to the fate of billions of worlds”
The girl silently glanced at him, then continued: 『 Very well, then I ask you again, have you ever done anything unseemly or immoral for your own desires? 』
Laura shook her head: “Not at all”
The sprite of light in her hand lit up, displaying a scene of her laying on her bed playing games.
“That’s nothing at all, I was just playing a game” Laura said.
『 Indeed, that truly was nothing noteworthy 』the girl smiled.
She then turned to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan sighed in relief.
——-I don’t even have time to pursue my own hobbies, so how could I have done anything immoral or unseemly?
I definitely don’t either” Gu Qing Shan resolutely affirmed.
The sprite of light in his hand turned into a vision.
…
In that vision, he, Zhang Ying Hao, and Ye Fei Li were standing together.
“Just listen to me, study this [Online Course in Romance] a bit more, and you’ll be as much of a Love Saint as I am” Ye Fei Li patted his chest.
“Alright, let us study it for a bit then” Zhang Ying Hao said.
“Yeah” Gu Qing Shan also agreed.
Ye Fei Li turned on his projection screen.
The title card of the film appeared on the screen.
It was written in big letters:
[Online Course in Romance]
In the vision, the three men watched it earnestly.
…
Outside the vision, the heroic spirit girl and Laura were also watching this.
Gu Qing Shan had been through all sorts of thick and thin in his life, so he was as thick-skinned as a wall, but he still couldn’t help but feel extremely embarrassed at this very moment.
Finally, the vision ended.
The girl: 『 … 』
Laura sighed with satisfaction, then abruptly screamed: “Gu Qing Shan! How could you have watched these things together with Ye Fei Li!!!”
Gu Qing Shan clapped his hands loudly and said full of disappointment: “You’re right, it was all Ye Fei Li’s fault”
In front of them, the girl sighed, then said: 『 It seems your characters are far from enough for me to exert the last of my strength 』
She turned back towards the fog in a lonely manner.
——that’s not good!
Panicking, Laura hurriedly pulled Gu Qing Shan’s sleeves and tried to chase after her, saying: “Hey, don’t give up on us just yet! Take a look at him, he’s a Pure person—— this was a Title given by the Dusty World itself, that should be enough to prove his day-to-day morality and character. Furthermore, he’s also really smart and strong, it was because he wanted to kill those monsters that he came here this time——- he’s actually very trustworthy”
『 A Pure person? 』the girl suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Qing Shan.
“I am” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
The girl turned back and approached Gu Qing Shan.
She was slightly taller than Laura, so her head was levelled with Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder, she then raised her hand and put it up in front of Gu Qing Shan.
『 Please give me your hand, I want to confirm your Title 』the girl solemnly said.
Gu Qing Shan reached his hand forward and pressed it against the girl’s hand.
Instantly, faint holy light began to radiate around the girl’s body.
『 [Pure Man]? So you were really a Pure person… I never would have thought that a Pure person would appear in the monastery at this point in time… 』
She muttered to herself, even trembling due to her excitement.
Gu Qing Shan and Laura exchanged glances and sighed in relief.
『 ——-But then, you are so weak, cruel, a skirt-chaser, as well a huge fraud, so how could you be a Pure person? 』
The girl seemed to have run into a difficult problem and muttered confusedly to herself.
Laura loudly replied: “Because he’s partial to killing wicked things, that’s why the world stand witness for his purity”
The girl shook her head and explained: 『 That isn’t right. If that was the case, his Title wouldn’t have been Pure, but a different one 』
Laura was stunned.
After a bit, she tried pulling on Gu Qing Shan’s sleeves.
“Gu Qing Shan, why did you get the [Pure Man] Title? If you know the reason, hurry and tell her, this is already the most pivotal moment, so we have to gain her trust” she silently sent her voice with a tone full of urgency.
Gu Qing Shan’s lips twitched, but didn’t say anything.
That is——–
Honestly—— there’s really nothing I can say.
Who the heck can tell what the Dusty World was thinking?
Furthermore, there’s no worth in telling anyone something like ‘that’.
There’s nothing I can say here.
