Chapter 828: [Borrowing Wonder]

The giant ship.

The jade pendant Adorable was quickly flying forward and soon reached the head of the ship.

This place was indeed being guarded very closely, not only were there quite a few powerful evil creatures going back and forth, there were even some who unleashed and kept up their magic barriers that obscured the space inside to make sure that no one could peek.

Adorable went through all the checks and headed forward.

But none of the evil creatures on the way managed to discover what this jade gourd pendant was doing.

It flew until it reached the smaller ship right before it could leave.

There weren’t too many evil creatures on this smaller ship, only the Lord of Total Distortion and some of the evil creatures closest to him.

Adorable went in circles around the ship and finally hovered right above the Lord of Total Distortion’s head.

It remembered what Gu Qing Shan told it about not landing on other people’s heads.

So it only floated there.

The Lord of Total Distortion didn’t notice this at all.

『 Set out 』he ordered.

Like an arrow that was shot, the ship dashed through the waves as it headed for the Wood Bristles.

A few moments later.

On top of a fog-filled area of the sea.

The small ship stopped as it bobbed up and down together with the ocean waves.

『 Is it time yet? 』 the Lord of Total Distortion questioned.

『 It is 』his subordinate answered.

『 They would not be late. Ah, they are already here 』

Saying so, the Lord of Total Distortion stood up.

He walked up to the deck of the ship and looked far into the ocean.

A figure could be seen a bit further away.

The figure was standing on top of the ocean, slowly heading towards their ship.

『 We’re going there 』

The Lord of Total Distortion ordered.

The small ship quickly approached that figure.

As the two sides got closer, more and more mist began to fill the ocean.

The mist seemed to contain some sort of mystical power that made it so no one could see the figure clearly until only after the two sides faced each other.

It could clearly be seen that countless fleshy tentacles were attached to the figure’s body that came from deep under the ocean.

As if something was hiding right below the surface of the ocean.

The figure only began to speak with a strange intonation as they stood a certain distance from the Lord of Total Distortion.

『 Little fiend, have you prepared what we want? 』

The Lord of Total Distortion replied: 『 This will be the last shipment. After I give them to you, that will have been every species of evil creatures that were offered 』

『 You had better not try to deceive us 』the flesh tentacles figure said.

The Lord of Total Distortion asked: 『 We’ve already done this transaction so many times, why do you still suspect me? 』

The flesh tentacle figure answered: 『 I simply don’t understand. If we grasp the Mystery of all the evil creatures’ birth, the land would become our farmland and the evil creatures would be our crop, and you are the one facilitating all of this 』

『 I don’t care about that. As long as you give me that key and act as our contract dictated to no longer bother me, then our transaction is done 』the Lord of Total Distortion replied.

The flesh tentacle figure asked: 『 Even if this means the extinction of all evil creatures? 』

『 Why should I care if they live or die? Now give me the key 』the Lord of Total Distortion demanded.

The flesh tentacle figure went silent briefly and answered: 『 Be patient for a little bit. We first have to check if there is enough inventory on that big ship. Some time will also be necessary to check the different species 』

『 Spare me the excuses. With your powers, you wouldn’t even need one breath’s worth of time to check the inventory. Just be blunt and say that you don’t trust me 』the Lord of Total Distortion scoffed.

The flesh tentacle figure remained silent.

But apparently the Lord of Total Distortion was wary of something as he didn’t try to urge the other party.

A few moments later.

Having confirmed something, the flesh tentacle spoke emotionally: 『 You really did sell out all the evil creatures. From you, I finally understand a certain truth: the nature of all evil creatures is self-destruction 』

They then threw out a glimmering piece of metal.

The piece of metal flew through the air, headed for the Lord of Total Distortion.

The Lord of Total Distortion stared closely at the piece of metal with a look of madness and desire.

『 The Key of the Seal! I’ve finally obtained it! 』

He said dryly and reached his hand out to catch the piece of metal.

At this very split second, something unimaginable to everyone here happened.

A faint ‘sha’ was heard.

The piece of metal suddenly vanished without a trace.

Both the flesh tentacle figure and the Lord of Total Distortion were shocked.

At the same time, the jade gourd pendant took off from on top of the Lord of Total Distortion’s head and quickly flew back to Gu Qing Shan.

At the same time, in the giant ship extremely far from where the transaction took place.

Gu Qing Shan was sitting in his room, silently watching as the [Kindling] UI once again turned back on.

This time, the [Kindling] UI was preparing to evolve.

“[Kindling], what should we do?”

As Gu Qing Shan asked that, a piece of shiny metal suddenly dropped into his hand.

“What is this? Wait, what’s going on?”

He was stunned, threw the piece of metal to the ground, and grabbed the Chao Yin sword.

He had prepared numerous alarm and defensive formations around his room, yet this piece of metal was still able to appear out of nowhere, and it appeared straight in his hand as well!

This was completely out of Gu Qing Shan’s range of knowledge.

He cautiously kept an eye out quite releasing his inner sight to scan every nook and cranny of this ship.

Strange…

Everything is normal.

Then what was this about?

Gu Qing Shan once again glanced at the piece of metal.

He noticed something new.

There was some spirit energy gathered next to the piece of metal and manifested in the shape of a gourd.

This gourd-shaped spirit energy signature seemed to have a concealment function.

That piece of metal was right there on the ground, but Gu Qing Shan couldn’t sense its existence at all.

Gu Qing Shan finally understood.

This was one of the jade gourd pendant Adorable’s tricks!

On the other side.

The Lord of Total Distortion shouted: 『 What exactly are you trying to pull!? 』

The flesh tentacle figure replied in a low voice: 『 Little fiend, we already followed the contract, but something else took the key away just now 』

A contract appeared in the Lord of Total Distortion’s hand as he checked it.

The black flame on the contract was still there.

Everything was still as they agreed on.

Which meant the other side did not try to go back on their words.

Damn it!

Someone actually dared to steal from me at such a crucial moment!

The flesh tentacle figure spoke up again: 『 Little fiend, the existence that took away that fragment of the key far surpasses both yours and my understanding 』

『 I already had all of my underwater comrades to search for you, but still couldn’t find the one that took your key 』

They walked forward step by step on the water until they stood right in front of the Lord of Total Distortion.

『 Here, this was a replacement that we created, it can be used the same as the real thing 』

The hand made up of fleshy tentacles held a piece of metal out.

The second piece of metal.

At the same time, the ocean below practically boiled.

Countless vast and dangerous auras rose all the way to the sky.

Right below the surface of the ocean, right at this moment, numerous ancient demonic sea creatures that were over 100 million years old had arrived!

They silently but not subtly waited. They were waiting for existence that stole the first key to show up again.

The Lord of Total Distortion reached his hand out and held the piece of metal.

The flesh tentacle figure waited for a long while.

Nothing happened.

They slowly released their ‘hand’.

All the way until the piece of metal was completely grasped by the Lord of Total Distortion.

Still, nothing happened.

The flesh tentacle figure stood silent for a few moments and spoke: 『 Fine, it seems that existence has already left. Now that you’ve obtained the Key, our transaction is considered complete 』

The Lord of Total Distortion looked down at the contract in his hand.

The majority of written clauses disappeared.

Only the clause ‘can not harm one another’ was left.

He finally sighed in relief and quickly placed the metal piece into his personal storage space.

『 Good, although I don’t know what took the key, since it was able to escape our perception, it’s most likely not something we can deal with 』

『 Since I’ve already obtained the key, that ship of mine is now yours 』

『 Deal 』

On the other side.

The jade gourd pendant Adorable flew through Gu Qing Shan’s formations without trouble.

Xiu~ Wu wu~ Xiu xiu xiu

It was breathing heavily while boasting at the same time.

Gu Qing Shan told it: “There’s no hurry, you can speak slowly”

But for some reason, the jade pendant seemed to have noticed something and began speaking even faster.

Xiu xiu xiu….

It squeaked nonstop for a long while.

After hearing what it said, Gu Qing Shan finally understood what happened.

“So we were all the Lord of Total Distortion’s traded goods…”

“You did well, I didn’t know [Borrowing Wonder] could be used this way”

“Regardless, 100-million-year-old demonic sea creatures aren’t enemies we can face right now, we have to get off this ship before anything else”

Gu Qing Shan put the piece of metal into his Inventory Bag, tied the jade pendant on his hip, and prepared to leave.

At this time, lines of blood-red text appeared on the [Kindling] UI:
