Chapter 84: If You Don't Seek Trouble, Trouble Won't Find You

"Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu knows who I am, you can just ask her. You go ahead, I’m fine. And I hope Miss Ruan and Miss Shen will stop pestering me—I truly have nothing in common with you." After saying this, she found Qi Yan’s figure and walked toward him.

Qi Yan watched her put on another performance. Seeing her approach, his mood, which had been somewhat irritable due to the noisy occasion, improved a little.

Earlier, the distinguished ladies and their daughters had been watching the spectacle with interest.

Once Zhen Kong got information from Bian Ye’s mouth that was nearly identical to Bian Liu’s, Luo Yao and his group finally gained a basic outline of the “ape-man.” They had once invited a sorcerer to perform a ritual, but halfway through, the sorcerer was frightened off, claiming the place was haunted.

According to the Earth team’s plan, Wu Qingchen’s main goal during this ten-day cycle in the medieval world was to secure the villagers’ authority to relocate the hive and put that decision firmly in his own hands.

Li Hong slumped in his chair and said weakly, "You’ll find out soon enough." Did those fools from the Western Regions really not know that cotton had to be fluffed? Only after that does it become the perfect material for keeping out the cold.

In any case, doing disaster relief under these circumstances was a thankless task. What mattered to the aristocratic families these days was reputation among their fellow countrymen; whatever happened elsewhere was secondary. The key was to maintain a good name in the neighboring townships.

Before long, the spaceship finally started up and slowly rose into the sky. Mu Xuan remained rooted in place, staring fixedly as the ship vanished into the horizon, not moving an inch.

For over a month, those who had come to help had their family food expenses skyrocket, and still gained no favor in return. Afterwards, Chen Suxiang shamelessly told everyone that her family had only come over to freeload, insisting on taking over the work, but with poor skills, slow hands, and even deliberately wasting their timber.

Even after leaving, he had no intention of returning straight to the Eternal Realm. This time, he had only meant to come to this vast, ancient world to unwind, yet instead he’d encountered nothing but vexation.

Besides, there’d never been so many innate deities falling to evil before—how could they all have changed so suddenly? Was it really so easy for the gods’ minds to shift?

Two-thirds of the continent’s buildings lay in ruins. The battlefield was littered with corpses. Old women, wives, and children wept upon their brick beds at home, for all the men now lay on the fields of war.

Little did anyone know, things were entirely different. Inside, he felt an unparalleled sense of relief, as if parched earth had tasted sweet rain, as if a dragon had returned to the depths of the sea. The vitality that had previously torn through his body now ceased its destruction at a certain point, becoming gentle, almost caressing.

It was like holding a veto: I could do nothing and remain unknown, but without my vote, nothing you planned could proceed with legitimacy.

"Wait, there’s a brain in the belly too? Is that for real? How incredible!" Xia Sanwa covered his mouth in a classic imitation of Yue Yunpeng.

Although the three elders suspected as much, none voiced their thoughts as directly as that girl, A’Zi.

A few days ago, they’d sent the “Thousand-Faced Fox” Natasha to attack the Dragon Gate’s territory. Not only was Natasha captured, but their enemies launched a fierce retaliation.

The audience, after listening to the two hosts analyze the situation, relaxed a little upon seeing that although Captain Planck was retreating, he hadn’t given up on upgrading—he was simply clearing monsters in the wild.

Among the statues, there had been one ornately dressed figure crowned in gold. They’d thought it was some member of the royal family, but now it seemed this must be the current Pope.

Yet to spar with wolves who ate human flesh and drank human blood—no matter how strong you were, your heart would falter.

Amidst the thunderous cheers of the crowd, the enemy champions began to regroup along the top lane at the Dream Team’s base.
