Chapter 774: Chapter 606 The Little Monk Who Couldn’t Be Shaken Off

Yue Xilou’s colorfully splendid body stiffened upon hearing the words.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng slowly continued, “A million elite soldiers, huh! At first glance, that’s a dense sea of heads! Tell me, do you think that dandy girl Borjigin Nian can withstand it? Evildoer, do you think she’ll get shot into a sieve? Or, maybe get trampled flat by the army…”

“Shut up!”

Gu Changsheng wanted to speak again but was coldly interrupted by someone beside him!

Somehow, Yue Xilou had already cooled down his face, his beauty surpassing that of demons filled with sharpness, as he stared straight at Gu Changsheng!

“Hehe… don’t look at me like that! I’m really scared!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately pretended to step back, clutching his chest, and took a step back. Then he burst into loud laughter, “Haha… Flower Peacock, so it turns out you do care, just hid it too well! You repressed man! Haha…”

“You!” Yue Xilou, upon hearing this, was on the verge of exploding!

“Haha… She won’t have any trouble! I won’t let her have any trouble, I’ll be back soon! I’ll rush to support her soon! Evildoer, wait for me!” Gu Changsheng suddenly put away his smile, patted his shoulder and said, “I’m leaving Heluo City in your hands!”

“You know, I come from the Itinerant World and am not adept at leading troops,” Yue Xilou said, his anger instantly quenched, his brow furrowing as he spoke gravely.

Each to their own expertise; he is more skilled at wandering the Itinerant World, gathering wealth, while warfare and military exercises were not his forte!

“I know! I know you’re adept at leading troops! But what I know even more is that you’re extremely skilled at escaping!” Gu Changsheng said upon hearing this, picking his eyebrow in an especially wretched manner. “If you can delay them, then delay. Never confront the enemy directly, fight if you can win, run if you can’t, that’s what you’re best at, isn’t it?”

Isn’t his Flower Peacock someone who has been tormented by evildoers, if not a thousand times, then at least a good hundred or eighty? When it comes to his pitiful escapes, even evildoers sometimes find themselves unable to cope, and Gu Changsheng never doubts his Flower Peacock’s ability to escape with his life. With so many lessons from the past, isn’t that right?

Yue Xilou, who also thought of the scene where that youngster Zhou Mu had chased and beaten him, immediately turned pale and snorted coldly, “I really hope that heartless girl of yours gets taken away!”

“Haha! You have a rich imagination! But clearly, I don’t wish for your dreams to come true!” Gu Changsheng said with a smile, patting his shoulder before striding away!

She was determined to head to Great Swamp Mountain.

And this time, she didn’t want to bring anyone with her.

She didn’t even want to take the Six Maids.

Just as Hongfu Su and those City Lords had said, Great Swamp Mountain was the center of power in the Southern Border, fraught with danger. How could she allow Han Qiu and Xiao Cui to risk their lives following her?

She’d rather leave Han Qiu and Xiao Cui to Yue Xilou, along with the Six Maids, to contain Heluo City.

However, Han Qiu and Xiao Cui obviously didn’t know their lady’s thoughts. Once they found out she had decided to head to Great Swamp Mountain, they began busily packing their bags.

But while they were packing, a certain vermilion figure had already easily slipped past the eyes of two hundred thousand soldiers and escaped with vigor.

If Gu Changsheng wanted to hide, there truly weren’t many in the world who could detect her!

Yue Xilou stood on high ground, watching the vermilion figure dodge left and right, fluttering out of the army’s encampment like the wind, a flicker of worry in his eyes, but he ultimately kept silent!

He had his mission; even with all his concern, he couldn’t accompany her, after all!

“I hope you return safely, otherwise, this Tower Master really can’t explain it to that kid…” Sighing, he shook his head and slowly walked towards the Central Military Tent.

Inside the Central Military Tent, there were many things waiting for him to deal with!

Gu Changsheng, that girl, had walked away decisively and righteously, leaving the entire mess of Heluo City squarely on his head!

Two hundred thousand against two million, ah!

This was really going to be the death of him!

Leaving the army’s encampment, Gu Changsheng’s mood was excellent, holding the Geomancy Map, heading southwest.

Heluo City was only a thousand miles away from Great Swamp Mountain, separated by just a few mountain ranges. With the Geomancy Map gifted by Hongfu Su, Gu Changsheng wasn’t worried about taking a wrong turn and delaying her time.

After half a day’s journey, having left Heluo City by a hundred miles, Gu Changsheng took out the Geomancy Map again to confirm her route. After a careful look, when she raised her head again, her entire being was disheveled by the wind!

“You! How did you follow me?” Gu Changsheng’s disheveled gaze fixed on the small figure sitting cross-legged under the big tree, panting heavily and clutching her chest in astonishment and uncertainty.

Damn it, wasn’t that brightly shining golden little head none other than her Little Monk?

“Amitabha! Benefactor Changsheng, you are mistaken; this humble monk did not follow you here!” Little Monk Bu Jie got up from the ground, his small arms and legs shaking off the fallen leaves on him, speaking as a matter of course.

“You!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng was suddenly at a loss for words.

That many leaves, it surely would have taken half a day to accumulate so many on the Little Monk!

Gu Changsheng immediately understood the implications behind Little Monk Bu Jie’s words!

The little rascal wasn’t following her; he was clearly blocking her path, wasn’t he?

“You! You really are not human!” After thinking for a moment, that’s all Gu Changsheng could blurt out.

Damn it, she decided to go to Great Swamp Mountain, but her little monk had already been here for half the day, waiting for the rabbit to come to him!

This… This made her, who thought she had finally gone on an adventure alone and shaken off everyone, feel utterly embarrassed.

“Amitabha, this poor monk is a man of the cloth and no longer dwells in the mortal world,” Little Monk Bu Jie said upon hearing this, chanting a Buddhist verse with a serene expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face turned black!

Alright, if the little monk so bluntly admits he’s not human anymore, what can she say?

Speechless, huh?

“Alright! You win! But now that the rabbit you’ve been waiting for is here, little monk, what do you actually want to do? Are you trying to persuade me to go back?” Gu Changsheng reluctantly walked over to Little Monk Bu Jie, brushed a leaf off his shoulder, and asked softly.

“Not at all, not at all. This poor monk intends to accompany Benefactor Changsheng to Great Swamp Mountain,” Little Monk Bu Jie, looking up at Gu Changsheng, shook his shiny little head.

“What?” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately blew her top, slapping her hand toward his little forehead, “Are you full and just bored? What kind of place do you think Great Swamp Mountain is? Is it a place for a little squirt like you? Be good! Hurry up and go back the way you came!”

“I must go! My mind is made up!” Little Monk Bu Jie was uncharacteristically determined!

“Slap!”

Another little slap came down!

“You must go? You must be out of your mind! Great Swamp Mountain is full of checkpoints and crawling with Gu insects. With your little frame, you wouldn’t even make a mouthful for them! Be good! Go back and find our Flower Peacock and let him take good care of you. You just need to tap your wooden fish and recite your scriptures until I return, okay?” Gu Changsheng squatted down, put her hands on his little shoulders, and looked him in the eye, “You know, Great Swamp Mountain is too dangerous. Even I am not sure of victory, and no matter how capable you are, Shang Xie, I can’t let you take the risk with me! Will you please go back and be good?”

“No!” Little Monk Bu Jie still maintained his compassionate little face and shook his head firmly.

“My God!” Gu Changsheng, upon hearing this, immediately facepalmed in exasperation, “If you’re not making it difficult, then it’s me who’s in trouble! Shang Xie, the evildoer listens to everything I say, can’t you listen to me just this once?”

“Can’t!”

Under the twilight filled with Gu Changsheng’s hopes, Little Monk Bu Jie shook his head once again!

“Crap!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng immediately sat down on the ground with a thump!

Living together for so long, this was the first time she’d seen Little Monk Bu Jie be so stubborn!

And damn it, she was utterly at a loss for what to do with Little Monk Bu Jie!

Knowing she couldn’t persuade the obstinate Little Monk Bu Jie before her, Gu Changsheng chose a simpler and more forceful method!

That was: to flee!

Mustering all her cultivation, Gu Changsheng suddenly leaped up, her red clothes flashing as she disappeared in front of Little Monk Bu Jie’s eyes!

Increasing her speed to its limit, Gu Changsheng moved swiftly like a phantom through the deep mountains!

However, to Gu Changsheng’s great annoyance, there was always a faint but persistent presence following her step by step!

That presence even carried a trace of sandalwood scent!

This…

This was just beyond comparison!

“Shang Xie! Are you freaking made of doggedly adhesive plaster or what?” After running wildly for half the day, from noon to nightfall, Gu Changsheng still couldn’t shake off Little Monk Bu Jie’s pursuit. Exhausted and out of breath, she finally gave in, stopped in her tracks, and angrily glared at the relaxed figure who seemed to stroll leisurely behind her, grinding her teeth in frustration.

Damn it, she was as tired as a dog, yet Little Monk Bu Jie hadn’t even broken a sweat!

What was this?

It was enough to make one die of envy!

“The heavens are unjust, so grossly unjust!” Gu Changsheng looked up to the sky, sighing deeply and staring speechlessly at her little monk who seemed to have activated some sort of cheat code!

Damn it, Shang Xie was like a systemic black hole!

So defying the natural order, isn’t it?

This is illogical! Completely illogical!

Pulling out some food rations, Gu Changsheng, with an embarrassed expression, threw a piece to Little Monk Bu Jie and sat down on the ground, glaring fiercely at him as he nibbled on the rations and growled, “Why are you so set on following me? What have you discovered? Is there some danger awaiting me?”

Gu Changsheng knew her little monk well; if he hadn’t caught a glimpse of some incredible secret of fate, he would never be so stubborn about following her!

Her little monk had always been easy to talk to!

This rare stubbornness definitely meant something was up!

Under Gu Changsheng’s intense gaze, Little Monk Bu Jie slowly raised his head from eating and said in a deep voice, “A calamity against heaven!”
