Chapter 341: Chapter 75: Ten Years in the Human World, Old Friends Come and Go (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

"Some are captains with immense power, each possessing divine power that seems unrivaled. They offer all sorts of promises, some promising to take you to the highest peaks of the world, others to slay all formidable foes, and even a silver-haired, squinty-eyed one wants to make you the new ’Spirit King.’"

"Spirit King is one of the rulers of the Soul Realm, said to be blessed by Death Gods and exist eternally."

"You are quite interested and want to ask more questions, but the other party, cunning as they are, refuses to reveal anything until you sign a contract."

"’Joke’s on them, I, Arthur, have never been inferior to anyone and have never been restricted by others!’ You dismiss him."

"The following interviews are similar, either proposing to slay the notorious and powerful villain Death God Agent known as ’Decima’ or to adventure the world with you by sword."

"You are not satisfied with any of them."

"Your gaze lingers uncertainly over a row of D—F grade Death God captains, each with their merits. At this moment, you hate that a Guardian Spirit can’t protect multiple Death God Agents at once. How infuriating!"

"Come on, snap out of it! You’re a Spiritual Body now, don’t mess around!"

"After much contemplation, considering more possibilities for your future, you surprisingly select the tear-mole beauty who has caught your special attention and is particularly ambitious."

"Everyone is shocked because, although she’s graceful, there are many others with comparable beauty. Moreover, she is just an ’Assistant Captain,’ not very outstanding in strength, status, or background."

"Leaving obviously suitable captain-level candidates aside for an assistant captain?"

"People express their opinions that ’this Guardian Spirit seems strong but isn’t very smart~’, leaving with regret especially the female captains you thought highly of, wondering where they fell short."

"’I knew you would choose me. So, let me introduce myself.’ The tear-mole beauty shakes your hand, smilingly asking, ’What’s your name?’"

"’It’s basic manners to give your own name first when asking others,’ you calmly reply."

"’I’m a girl; you go first.’"

"’No, I am a Death Spirit; the deceased should be prioritized, you first.’"

"’I’m also a Death God; I should be prioritized too.’"

"’You first.’"

"’You first.’"

"’YOU FIRST!!!’"

"You feel a headache coming on; you definitely picked a stubborn one."

"After a little while, you agree to say it simultaneously."

"’Brumena Arthur, a wild spirit from Raccoon City.’ You give your real name, but only a third of it."

"’Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua, assistant captain of the fifth squad.’ This icy tear-mole beauty turns out to have quite a cute name."

"After signing the contract, you shake hands again, and with your crape myrtle scepter, you officially integrate into her personal weapon, a long sword named ’Mirror Flower Water Moon.’ Your crape myrtle scepter forms the head, now held in her hand every day."

"In 2097, you officially joined Jingling Court, becoming part of the Death God Agents, and started executing missions with your contractor, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua."

"The tasks of Death God Agents are quite monotonous, involving eating, sleeping, and fighting Hollows every day."

"A Hollow is a spirit controlled by negative emotions, and a Greater Hollow is a deteriorated Hollow, even fiercer, constantly threatening the safety of the Soul Realm and even the human world."

"However, Hollows can never be completely eradicated."

[Where there are people, there are Spirits, and where there are Spirits, there are Hollows. Killing the Hollows and sending them to the Ruins might give them a chance to reincarnate as humans; when humans die, they may turn into Spirits or even Hollows that once again threaten humanity.]

[Life and death are cyclical, an endless loop.]

[You and your team members carried out missions everywhere. You discovered that Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua was a very cunning person. On the surface, she joined the other teammates in slaying major Hollows to maintain world peace; but secretly, she preserved some of the Hollows’ Spiritual Bodies, some of which she fed to you to enhance your strength; others, she stored in a secret little black box.]

["What’s in the box?" you didn’t quite understand, finding this young girl’s actions mysterious.]

["You’ll know when the time comes. You will join me and witness the rebirth of this world," Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua said ambitiously.]

[For the next ten years, you earnestly carried out missions issued by the Jingling Court, eliminating major Hollows, safeguarding the stability of the Soul Realm and the present world.]

[It’s worth mentioning that when all Death God Agents enter the Jingling Court to submit their tasks, they are required to lay down their weapons. Each time you returned to submit tasks, bored senseless, you secretly slipped out to engage in dubious acts with those girls you once held great expectations for.]

[Every time after completing the tasks, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua always found you soaking wet, which was utterly baffling.]

[Could this not be considered cheating, you despicable scoundrel?]

["The dampness in the Soul Realm is getting heavier, indeed, sins are accumulating. If this continues, the Soul Realm will eventually become a Wet Soul Realm... In the past... corrections were needed..." Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua would meticulously wipe you down every time, her eyes twinkling with an inexplicable light.]

[Ten years of life and death vast and boundless, with your assistance, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua greatly increased in strength. Facing a massive invasion of "Hollows" once, from the South Heavenly Gate of the Soul Realm to the edge of the North Pole Battlefront, she accumulated numerous military exploits and the senior levels of the Jingling Court intended to promote her to captain.]

["Lan Ran, tomorrow you enter the central Jingling Court, and after being questioned by the council, I will hand over the position of the Fifth Division Captain to you," a beauty with shoulder-length hair said to her.]

[She was her direct superior, the Captain of the Fifth Division, and someone with whom you had multiple in-depth interactions.]

[On July 5, 2107, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua was appointed as Captain of the Fifth Division.]

[On July 7, 2107, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua secretly met with a visitor from an ancient Eastern country. You were left outside on guard, thus you were unable to see their true face, only vaguely remembering it was someone bizarre, resembling a monk, who left behind a strange amulet. Jing Xiaohua carried it close to her body. You inspected it up close but couldn’t understand the ghostly symbols; it seemed of little significance, so you didn’t think much of it.]

[Ten more years passed, the same as always, eating, sleeping, fighting major Hollows. Your strengths rapidly improved, and so did your relationship with Jing Xiaohua. She couldn’t sleep without holding you, but you were always puzzled about what this ambitious woman really wanted to achieve.]

[On April 8, 2117, a shocking change occurred. During a routine task submission, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua suddenly rebelled, killing all individuals of the "Room 49" royal rulers of the Jingling Court, along with the former Captain of the Fifth Division, escaped from the Soul Realm, and became a fugitive. On her journey, she encountered former teammates, now pursuers, whom she slew one by one, carving a bloody path.]

[Three years in battles, enemies everywhere, heading east.]

[On September 12, 2120, while fleeing, Lan Ran Jing Xiaohua reached the borders of the United States and encountered the strongest enemy she ever faced, a mighty one who also possessed a Guardian Spirit, a powerful being from Japan. His Guardian Spirit was a massive, sweet-voiced but terrifying-looking woman.]

[As the saying goes, soldier to soldier, general to general, in the process of your battle, you learned the name of the opposing Guardian Spirit.]

[Her name was Qi Lixiang, and her master, the youth, was named Jia Gu Youta.]

[Special Grade Curse Master.]

"Ah???"

Watching on the screen, grappling with himself, beaten by his own Violet Staff, the massive Spiritual Body creature’s continuous screams left Xu Shu utterly dumbfounded.

Special Grade Curse Master?

Wasn’t it supposed to be a Death God Agent?

What... what is happening here?

Could this legend be...
