Chapter 1440: Chapter 1017: Sun Sect

Island Lord’s Mansion.

The flames gradually died down as Wu Heng walked out from the center of the furnace.

The steaming heat waves distorted the air around him, and the runes on his skin fell off onto the ground as he moved.

Wu Heng clenched his fist, clearly feeling that the strength of his bones had indeed increased, but it seemed there was still some distance to break through to the second stage.

Not far away, two other furnaces were still burning.

Viola sat cross-legged on the left side, her skin covered in blood-red runes, continuously absorbing the surrounding heat energy.

On the right, Xi Ligui sat cross-legged, wearing a pair of shorts and a small tank top given by Wu Heng. Her cool white skin was also covered in runes, seeming to have a layer of honey overlay due to the firelight.

Looking at her like this, Xi Ligui’s skin was indeed very white, milky white.

Wu Heng glanced from afar, unable to help much, so he walked into the living room.

Mini and Robey approached with towels, dusting the ash from his body before sitting down in the living room.

Lady asked, "How is it today?"

"Nothing special, the second stage is a bit harder," Wu Heng replied, taking the offered iced tea and sipping it lightly.

During learning the first stage, he received a system prompt the next day.

But this time with the Evil Qi Bone Forging, it was already the third day.

Lady nodded and said, "The second stage was always harder, but for you, half a month should be enough to break through."

"Thanks for your good wishes!"

"I’ve given the method for drawing the first stage runes to the Skeleton Rune Master," Lady glanced outside the window at the ’furnace’ location, "Later on when they train, let the skeletons take care of the rune drawing."

Wu Heng continued, "It’s good to let the skeletons do it, in case we go out, and no one is around to help them."

If he goes to the Zombie World, or leaves Gold and Silver Island.

Lady wouldn’t be able to draw the runes for them either, so leaving it to the Skeleton Rune Master was quite suitable, they could draw whenever needed.

As they spoke, Xiao Xiao and Bella flew back.

"It’s so lively outside!" Xiao Xiao said excitedly, "Everyone’s talking about Aunt Viola becoming a hero, and they say they’re not afraid of the Holy Court anymore."

Bella added, "The bards in the tavern are also praising Viola, the hype is quite high."

Always brushing phones in the Zombie World, Bella’s speech had become more and more like modern people.

Even using words like hype.

The two souls spoke, and the other women gathered around as well.

They hadn’t gone out in the morning, so they were curious about the outside situation.

Xiao Xiao continued, "I also heard some people discussing sending a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, suggesting to resume cooperation with Gold and Silver Island!"

Wu Heng nodded after hearing the two souls finish speaking.

The uproar was within expectations.

Not to mention Gold and Silver Island, once the newspaper was sent to various places, it would certainly cause a certain level of excitement.

Viola’s promotion, like adding another advancing pawn on the chessboard, made all the observing forces reevaluate this game.

Shanaela leaned back on the sofa and said, "By next week at the latest, more representatives from commerce chambers will come with gifts, trying to restore the cooperation opportunity."

"Hmph!" Philippa bit into an apple fiercely, "They ran faster than anyone else back then, now they want to come back for the benefits?"

Shanaela laughed and said, "Indeed, we can’t let them come back for the benefits. Our agreement with the consortium already grants exclusive sales rights in those regions; even if they return, they won’t get the goods."

Philippa continued, "Selling them some is fine too, I’ll set pirates on the trade route and snatch the goods back."

Xiao Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, it’s the legendary black-on-black!"

"What’s black-on-black? It’s just normal robbery," Philippa corrected.

Wu Heng glanced at the two live wires and said, "I’m going for a bath, got to go out later. Xiao Xiao, don’t run around."

"Got it~!" Xiao Xiao agreed cheerfully.

Wu Heng went upstairs, the maids rested for a while and headed to the training room, while the ghosts returned to the study.

After taking a refreshing shower and changing clothes.

Returning to the study room.

Glancing at the ghosts gathered around watching TV series, he said, "Let’s go, to the Zombie World."

"I thought we were going somewhere far!" Xiao Xiao murmured.

"There’s nothing going on recently, why go somewhere far for no reason!" Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao floated over, "We haven’t gone out for fun in a while."

"Where do you want to go?"

"Let’s go see Little Sister. If we don’t visit, she’ll go to kindergarten soon, and she might not recognize us then!"

"Not that fast!" Wu Heng thought and said, "In a few days, if there’s nothing going on, we’ll go have a look."

"Alright!" Xiao Xiao agreed and entered her body.

The other three ghosts also entered their bodies, after which Wu Heng opened the boundary door and walked through.

...

Zombie World, monitoring room.

Stepping out of the boundary door, he released all four ghosts.

"Uncle, give us the phone, let’s see what they’re talking about on the forum." Wu Heng took out the puppet and phones, giving each ghost one, and they gathered to look at the forum.

Meanwhile, Wu Heng’s gaze swept over the monitor’s edge, spotting a robed skeleton standing upright in the ground floor guard’s room.

Unlike the Skeleton Guard, their attire was completely different.

"Xiao Xiao." Wu Heng called out to the back.

"What’s up?" Xiao Xiao turned her head to look over.

Wu Heng pointed at the skeleton on the screen, "Bring it up."

"Okay!" Xiao Xiao agreed, leaving the puppet, and vanished through the floor in ghost form.

Shortly after, Xiao Xiao returned, and a knock came from the doorway, followed by a tall skeleton walking in.
