A bowl of piping hot noodles was soon cooked.

The Old Guide waved his hand and sent the bowl and chopsticks in front of the tall slender woman.

The tall slender woman received the bowl with both hands.

She glanced at the Old Guide.

——–since my powers are currently sealed, I can’t judge his powers at all.

Whatever, I can resurrect after die anyways.

The tall slender woman’s gaze fell onto the bowl of noodles.

She was still hesitant.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan abruptly charged forward.

His gaze was locked on the bowl of noodles, swinging his sword as if to try something.

The Old Guide struck him from a distance.

With a ‘boom’, Gu Qing Shan was pushed back as soon as he leapt forward.

The Old Guide spoke with a serious expression: “No disturbance allowed”

Gu Qing Shan was hit by this strike from afar, pushed back several feet before tumbling into the stream.

He struggled to prop himself up with his sword, looking considerably distressed.

The tall slender woman looked at him, then at the large bowl in her hands.

That man from earlier ate one, Gu Qing Shan had also eaten one, and both of them were fine.

She hesitated, first took a sip of broth to taste it, then relaxed her knitted eyebrows.

———even if her abilities had been sealed, she herself was a master of poison, so she could tell with a small sip that there wasn’t any poison in this bowl of noodles.

The tall slender woman received the noodles and began to slowly eat.

The noodles were just chewy enough, and the broth was savory.

This was probably as good as it went for a bowl of noodles.

When was the last time I had this kind of food?

Steam rose up from the bowl and drifted by the woman’s eyes before dissipating in the night wind.

The tall slender woman quickly finished the bowl, cleanly washed the bowl and chopsticks in the river before returning it to the Old Guide.

As Gu Qing Shan watched this, his previously thoughtless mind began to think.

The man from before only ate the noodles, then put the bowl and chopsticks on a rock without care.

But the tall slender woman was different, not only did she eat the noodles, she even cleaned the utensils herself.

This was part of a person’s subconscious habit and behavior after living for a long time, it was clearly not an act.

——–as a powerful Combatant, no one would specifically force themselves to do anything, let alone something so insignificant.

That was what made this woman so strange.

What kind of existence is she, exactly?

The tall slender woman then sincerely offered her thanks: “Old senior, it has been a very long time since I ate this kind of food, thank you for the meal”

The Old Guide joyfully replied: “It is good that you enjoyed it”

The conditions for the Mystic-type ability had been fulfilled.

Now it was time for the harvest.

The Old Guide opened his mouth, about to ask that question.

——before they began, the question that Gu Qing Shan and she had decided on was ‘What is your greatest weakness’

Knowing her weakness was crucial for killing her, otherwise there would be no point.

But suddenly, Gu Qing Shan shouted: “Wait!”

The Old Guide was surprised.

The tall slender woman also turned towards him, full of killing intent.

“Wait for what? There’s nothing else to stall us right now, Gu Qing Shan”

The tall slender woman triumphantly declared: “You won’t be able to escape to any world, because I will closely follow you——— but if you keep staying on this world, one of us will eventually lose our lives——– I won’t die, but you only have a single life to lose”

Saying so, she began to walk against the stream towards Gu Qing Shan.

Behind her, the Old Guide looked at Gu Qing Shan in confusion. historical

Haven’t we already discussed everything? Why did gongzi tell me not to wait?

Gu Qing Shan loudly said: “I have a question”

“What are you planning now? Or perhaps you’re trying to surrender?” the tall slender woman chuckled.

Gu Qing Shan ignored her attitude and continued: “I want to know, under what situation did you decide to infiltrate humanity and conduct that assassination”

The tall slender woman stood still, the smile on her face disappeared.

“And what does that have to do with you? Your curiosity is getting ahead of yourself”

She coldly replied.

But Gu Qing Shan wasn’t talking to her at all.

The Old Guide———

Shannu immediately understood her gongzi’s intention.

Each bowl of noodles can only ask one question.

Gongzi is telling me that he changed the question.

He wants to know the answer to this new question!

Shannu worriedly glanced at Gu Qing Shan.

If I ask this, we wouldn’t be able to find out the Fate Weaver’s weakness.

Gu Qing Shan resolutely nodded and signaled her to ask.

Shannu hesitated a bit, then suddenly asked the tall slender woman: “I want to know, under what situation did you decide to infiltrate humanity and conduct that assassination”

Mystic Skill: [See you once again] – activated!

The tall slender woman abruptly heard endless resounding echoes by her ears as she displayed a blank expression.

For that brief moment, she seemed to have returned to that era, all those years ago.

Without any warning, the tall slender woman let out a single sob.

As if sleep-talking, she whispered: “The Apocalypse had arrived, every day, many of our comrades lost their lives right in front of us, the Primordial Heaven Realm was headed to ruin”

“On the orders of our superiors, we had to search the outer layer of the Abyss for a location suitable for humanity to construct a refuge as a way to retreat”

“But as we entered the Abyss, we ran into an abrupt incident——- the eternally dormant monster at the very bottom of the Abyss turned in its sleep”

“It was the strongest entity in the Abyss, so even though it was merely a slight turn, it was enough to bring about a calamity-class Abyssal storm”

“We were only able to resist the aura of the outer layer of the Abyss, so we were helpless against the countless oddities and abnormal presence from the endless Abyss”

“Many of us were infected by that presence, assimilated, and mutated”

“When humanity’s upper echelons found out about this, they sealed our way to return and left us to die in the Abyss”

“Not too long later, everyone died”

“I... was assimilated by the Abyss”

After saying this, the tall slender woman’s expression twitched slightly and returned to normal.

She observed Gu Qing Shan who was standing blankly about 10 feet directly in front of her and questioned: “You’ve lost your fighting spirits... are you seriously thinking about how to surrender?”

Gu Qing Shan faced her eyes head-on.

——her mocking eyes no longer contained the sense of sorrow and anger that it had just now.

She did not know what she had just informed him.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart was in chaos, shocked by the information he just found out.

So she was originally a human!

She was a human Combatant from the Bygone Era!

As the tall slender woman discovered that his thoughts were in chaos, she didn’t hesitate.

“A chance!”

She leapt up high and once again pounced on Gu Qing Shan.

As Gu Qing Shan was still thinking about the entire picture, when he saw her pouncing on him, he retreated.

“Coward! You can’t even face me in a fight?” the tall slender woman shouted.

Bam——–

A dull heavy sound resounded.

The tall slender woman was repelled back into the stream.

She turned around——–

“Old senior, why did you stop me?” she questioned.

The Old Guide looked at her with complicated emotions in his eyes and spoke: “Both of you have already tasted my cooking, you are both wonderful children, why must you fight?”

The tall slender woman glanced at him and tilted her head: “Old senior, did you know? Although you can use your powers, I won’t die”

“You won’t die? So that ability of yours can still take effect in this place?” the Old Guide showed an unexpected expression.

“That’s right, so if you stop me from killing him, you will have offended me, and I will stick close to you and fight against you until the day you die” the tall slender woman declared.

“It seems to be so” Shannu regretfully spoke, “Your body is truly a most powerful defensive weapon, with my strength, I can’t seem to hurt you”

——-during their battle just now, Gu Qing Shan was using the twin swords Heaven and Earth.

Even if the swords and Gu Qing Shan’s powers had been sealed, they were still exceedingly sharp Divine Armaments.

And yet both of the swords couldn’t even leave a scratch on the woman’s body.

Hearing that, the tall slender woman appeared prideful.

Then Shannu continued: “But have you thought of something? I can simply ignore your threat, stand on his side and bring him to the world he wanted to go myself”
