Chapter 430: Chapter 104: The Polite Nun (Request for Monthly Pass)

Having been killed by Yin Spirits twice in a row, a regular person would be scared shitless by now.

But Xu Shu wasn’t really afraid of this Su Ji Herrera.

It wasn’t that he was careless or unafraid of death, but rather that he knew exactly what she was capable of.

They were old rivals, after all, and this wasn’t their first encounter.

Out in the Wasteland, far from the borders of Star Tower, what’s the big deal with an ambush?

Rules outside the boundary are different from those within.

Would she dare to show off power beyond First Rank within the boundary? Did she think she was Jianqi’s Chosen One or something?

What a joke!

Back in the day, within the border, the Sixth Rank Tailed Ksitigarbha only dared to pretend to be a newbie First Rank, squirming crazily at the edge of the Wasteland! And after seeing my true form arrive, he had to flee in terror, then meekly offer up three crystals from Earl Lance as an apology.

And you, Su Ji Herrera, think you can challenge me in the Wasteland?

That’s just overestimating yourself. I think you’re courting death!

Xu Shu laughed proudly.

Not to brag, but let me ask you this, how can I lose when I have an [Epic Fugitive mandarins] card in my hand?

You won’t even be able to kill Gu Pan!

As Xu Shu spoke, he began to attach the mandarin depicted on the kite to Gu Pan and then he himself went to a corner to start doing sit-ups.

Meanwhile, Gu Pan, looking at the kite in Xu Shu’s hand, thought of past events and knew that he was going to transfer his power into her again to enhance her strength.

Last time, she was still a mere mortal, but with this method, she was able to display great combat power and single-handedly defeated an about-to-advance "Unclean."

Now, she herself was a Transcendent. Martial Artist plus Warrior, that would be double the joy, and her combat effectiveness was sure to surpass the past.

Thinking about this, Gu Pan’s somewhat nervous mood also eased.

Xu Shu cheered her on: "It’s showtime, teacher."

"Fine then, since you’re my student, I’ll protect you for now..."

Gu Pan steadied herself, and as she was speaking, she suddenly looked outside and froze.

Holy shit, what a sight!

In the dense forest nearby, the dark blue Ghost Fire flickered and leaped, surely more than twenty of them emerging!

"What the hell is this? Yin Spirits? So many?"

Gu Pan’s expression immediately stiffened, a chill running up her spine to the top of her head.

Her scalp tingled, and she turned to look at Xu Shu with a bitter taste in her mouth.

Don’t tell me I have to fight all of them?

For real?!

Just then, as the group of sinister Ghost Fire grew outside and the "ai ai ai" sounds gained in number, Xu Shu listened intently for a moment.

Then, he put away the Fugitive mandarins kite, looking curious, "Wait before acting, they seem to be people, and they’re not here to fight."

"Oh, okay." Gu Pan felt like she’d received a reprieve and retreated a few steps, puzzled in her heart.

People?

These things didn’t look human at all...

In the blink of an eye, she saw a human figure slowly approach from among the group of Ghost Fire.

It was a young woman in a black nun robe, with a rather good figure, dangling a sinister green fire lantern from her wrist.

It was this lantern that cast a ghastly green light, making her face look deathly pale, giving the impression from afar that a group of female ghosts had gathered.

Gu Pan felt a darkness before her eyes; thinking back to how startled she had been, she couldn’t help but curse in embarrassment, Damn it, who told you to make green lanterns? It can scare the shit out of people, you know!

She retreated two steps and bumped into Gu Yue Ming who had just "finished a call" and curiously came over. She raised a finger to her lips, gesturing for silence, and they both hid in the corner to observe.

The nun with the lantern approached Xu Shu, made a strange hand gesture before her chest, and bowed, "Good evening, sir. I apologize for the intrusion at this late hour."

Xu Shu looked casually at the ample whiteness revealed by her chest and suddenly said, "Pretty nice-looking, all white and tender."

The nun pulled at her own collar, which she had loosened, covering the deep cleavage and said with feigned seriousness, "Sir, do contain yourself. I am a servant of God."

"I meant your hand."

The stern expression on the nun’s face suddenly froze in shock.

The hand she extended from her robe had all five fingers missing, a gruesome sight, not at all related to good looks.

After a moment, she gave Xu Shu a long look, as if memorizing his face, then with a slightly haughty tone, she said, "Sir, my Family Head would like to invite you for a chat."

Xu Shu deliberately played dumb, "If you’re inviting someone, at least you should tell them who your Family Head is."

The nun said, "She is the owner of Storm Manor, the Empress who commands calamity and blessings, Su Ji Herrera."

So it’s her...

This nun, though different from the unfortunate woman he encountered in that thatched cottage on his journey, spoke in a similar fashion.

Ha, the owner of Storm Manor, the Empress who commands calamity and blessings?

Sounds pretty intimidating. But isn’t it odd that she’s not using the relatively standard "three-tiered title" often used by deities?

Xu Shu guessed it was probably because Su Ji Herrera’s rank wasn’t high enough, so she dared not use the complete three-tiered title, fearing she couldn’t bear the intangible karma.

Perhaps, she was also scared that there might be some Evil God out there who is the Empress commanding calamity and blessings. If there indeed existed such an Evil God, then that would be a real mess.
