Chapter 219: Chapter 28 Legend: Capital City Night Boiling! (Second update, please subscribe, ask for monthly tickets, and recommendations)_2

He chuckled dryly, silently putting away his three corpse walkers.

Next, he was to escort Lan Xin back to face punishment.

Although her slave brand was now gone, and Rudius was healed, the fact remained, nun Lan Xin’s betrayal of her teammates during the pioneering journey and the selling out of her companions was undeniable, and it couldn’t just be let go that simply.

Everyone had to pay the price for their mistakes, even if they’d been amended.

However, as Lan Xin was an official clergy member of the Starry Church, it was agreed to first submit her to the internal tribunal of the church. If the verdict was unsatisfactory, an appeal could be made for the Judgement Department to intervene.

"Speaking of which, there’s something that doesn’t make sense," Chen Nian suddenly brought up a doubt on the way to the supply point (19,1).

Seeing everyone look toward him, the young Daoist in green paused and said, "If Xu had such life-saving divine skills, why wait until now to use them? If he’d used them from the beginning, could the Alien Species Earl have even stopped him? Getting to the point of risking his life now, that’s indeed a twisted fate."

"Eh?" Everyone was simultaneously stunned.

Hey, come to think of it... really, come to think of it!

Upon further thought, wasn’t there indeed an issue?

Hong Yan pondered with a strange look in her eyes, having witnessed the whole process of Xu Shu driving the Lan Xin Ambulance, wailing loudly behind her.

He couldn’t possibly be so eager for... damn that playboy, he truly brought it upon himself.

"It must be that he couldn’t use it," Bi Chaoyang casually added, but then, after more thought, he said, "However, with such speed, why didn’t he just burst through to the border? The Earl is strong, but can he catch someone through the border?"

That was the question, but of course, they were all far from the border.

Being detail-oriented, as women often are, and Bi Chaoyang, known as the best in liberal arts and adept at explaining texts, was quick to notice when Xu Shu lifted the little nun up and down. He hadn’t thought about such details initially.

But Rudius said, "It’s quite normal. After all, we’re only First Rank, and this method must have significant costs or restrictions. Our Dawn Church’s ’Sun Scroll’ records a forbidden curse called ’Proximity Secret,’ which allows one to make nearly instantaneous surges forward. The world is full of wonders, so let’s not speculate further. May Lie Zhenzi and the Lord bless him."

"That makes sense."

Confounded, the group stopped dwelling on it.

Only Lan Xin, who was being escorted at the forefront by everyone, trembled at the thought.

"He intentionally didn’t return to the city immediately at the start... could it be... was it for me... for me..."

"It was to remove the slave brand from my body! Wuuu..."

One side was the shame of having her chastity forcibly taken and continually being violated on the journey.

On the other side was the touch of redemption after betraying everyone and falling into depravity by her own choice.

Thinking back to when Xu Shu confronted the powerful and terrifying Alien Species Earl, her leaning on his shoulder and feeling that heartfelt, robust pulsation, and the explicit declaration of sovereignty in front of everyone, especially in front of her fiancé who disregarded her, Lan Xin couldn’t help but experience an indescribable feeling, tightening her legs and trembling slightly. (Note 1)

"Hidden Queen of the night, Star Goddess, please guide me. Besides dedicating my remaining life to him, what else can I do to repay?

"Star Goddess, please ensure his safe return..."

...

...

At this time, Xu Shu, who was the subject of everyone’s speculation.

After reaching an infinitely high peak and then plummeting into the depths, his vision was filled with layers of shifting, vast streams of information like a cosmic explosion, merging into chaos and nothingness.

Finally, a line of text formed:

[You have entered the legend—]

[Usage count for this occasion: 2]

[Generating random coordinates for you...]

Sigh!

"This is the limit of what I can do; I hope he searches the snowy mountain thoroughly. If this happens, they’ll likely be waiting for me when I get back... then I will have to try letting him brand me with a slave brand and feign compliance.

"Just worried that the Black Widow Curse Seal inside me will directly consume a low-quality brand of the same kind, then I won’t be able to hide it!

"Or maybe pretend to be their Emperor when the time comes? One step at a time, I suppose. Let’s hope this mutated creature from a small animal isn’t too smart..."

Watching the chaos churn before him, Xu Shu let out a breath.

At least, there was a 90% chance he was safe.

He was only 30 meters from the border line. As long as he wasn’t targeted and guarded point-to-point, he shouldn’t fail to break through.

He knew that when he entered the legendary mode, he would "completely disappear" for four hours per use. It would be misleading to call it mere invisibility; it was more akin to a superdimensional state.

However, this time in real-world terms, Xu Shu suspected it wouldn’t last long.

After all, it was already past two in the afternoon, and once six o’clock passed, the remaining uses would disappear. Naturally, Xu Shu chose to use up both uses at once. This way, he could hide for a maximum of ’eight hours’ in the legendary mode and theoretically reappear around 10 p.m.

But there was an issue: the last time he continued the legendary session with Wang Teng’s character, he logged in at around 6:15 a.m., yet when he ended the legendary mode, it was exactly 6 p.m.

So, Xu Shu had already deduced that the end time for legendary mode must be the "evening six" mark, just like the perfect ending of a journey.

Sunrise, sunset—a perfect cycle.

Hence, he estimated that when he returned today, it would likely be exactly six in the afternoon, just in time for the official sunset!

If calculated, when his legendary period ended and he returned to reality, only a little over three hours would have actually passed.

Therefore, he made an effort to construct a persona.

This Black Widow Count obviously came for him. If he rashly slipped into the legendary mode to vanish, the adversary might wait here for him.

But after deceiving it, even if it felt something was amiss later and came back to search, it wouldn’t know that Xu Shu would appear at the original location.

"Forget it, do what one can, and leave the rest to fate."

"Fate is in my hands!"

Xu Shu adjusted his mindset and looked forward.

Hehe, if he remembered correctly, the second selection of legendary mode—creating a legend—should begin by choosing a spawn point, then a character...

[Random coordinates complete!]

[Your legendary coordinates: Capital City Night Boiling!]

[Randomizing locations...]

[Please choose one of the following four locations as your birthplace.]

[1, Chang’an City; 2, Changqi City; 3, Chang’an City; 4, Changmian City]

"Sure enough, but..."

Looking at the four options, Xu Shu’s expression momentarily stiffened.

What, those last three cities, can they seriously be chosen? Is this some kind of joke?

Just the names alone screamed disaster!

Can’t pick C this time, decisions have been made, AA is possible.

[You have chosen to be born in "Chang’an City," randomizing your identity...]

[Choose one of the following four identities to start your life. You will have a completely authentic experience, so choose wisely:]

[1: Zuo Chang’an; 2: Xiao Qinai Heixu; 3: Mu Chanchan; 4: Shangguan Yuanyi]

"Tsk, can tell the gender from the names at a glance—three female accounts, one male account, mixed with a cherry-blossom girl name that looks strange; might as well be called Xiao Qinai Heisi."

"Heh, if it were up to me to play as them, I could pick, but since I’m creating my own account, experiencing it myself, I’ll naturally pick C. Out of three shorts and one long, choose the longest."

Xu Shu made his choice.

[Your identity: Zuo Chang’an, confirmation complete!]
