"Back then, when I entered the Black Blood Jungle, I charged through without any restraint. Whenever someone tried to stop me, I would just slap them away. Thinking back to that feeling, although I had a majestic presence and exuded killing intent, I now find it quite ridiculous, like a detestable nouveau riche..."
Gu Yigu sighed.
Chu Yang and the others murmured in their hearts.
It was indeed true; the term "nouveau riche" perfectly described him.
"But all I wanted was the Black Blood Rose, and since the Black Blood Rose despises bloodshed, I didn’t go on a killing spree. Little did I expect, this very decision allowed me to keep my life intact..."
"Having ventured 3,700 miles into the Black Blood Jungle, everything went smoothly until I finally spotted the Black Blood Rose I needed. Just as I was about to step forward and pick it, I suddenly heard a voice say to me: 'You want this?'"
Although Gu Yigu was trying hard to keep his voice steady and deep, it still had a comical quality to it, making it quite difficult for Chu Yang and the others to listen.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t understand; it was just that the sound was truly irritating.
"At that moment, I had charged through, feeling invincible and full of ambition. Upon hearing the question, I arrogantly replied, 'What I want, I will have! What’s the problem? Do you have any objections?' This one sentence instantly plunged me into an abyss!"
"As soon as the words left my mouth, I inexplicably received a resounding slap, sending me flying seventy to eighty feet away."
"I was furious and turned to retaliate, but ended up suffering the greatest defeat of my life, enduring the worst beating ever! In a mere fifteen moves, I managed to launch an attack in the first five, but from then on, it was all defense, with no chance to counterattack. I felt like a sandbag being tossed around…"
"I truly couldn’t believe such a master existed in this world!"
"The person who struck me kept saying while hitting me: 'The Black Blood Jungle is mine. Do you think I have any objections? You come to steal my things and still ask if I have any objections. Let me tell you, as long as you don’t die after I give you a beating, I won’t have any objections.' And as he spoke, my face endured countless slaps…"
As Gu Yigu recounted, Chu Yang couldn’t help but chuckle internally.
Indeed, it was in line with Zixie Qing’s style.
One had to wonder why that sister was so keen on slapping someone.
Listening to Gu Yigu's tale, Chu Imperial Seat even felt his own face starting to ache, unable to resist touching his cheek.
Gu Yigu said with a tragic expression, "Just as I was about to be beaten to death, disregarding my pride, I shouted: 'I’ve never killed anyone in the Black Blood Jungle…' and it was this sentence that made the slaps stop."
"Then that person said: 'Never killed anyone? Let me check.'"
"And then some information was sent out. After a while, suddenly, another slap hit my face, saying: 'Injuring someone is also unacceptable!'" Gu Yigu said mournfully to Chu Yang, "This older brother of yours is too overbearing…"
Gu Yigu didn’t know that Zixie Qing was a woman, and naturally, Chu Yang wouldn’t reveal the truth. After hearing this, Chu Yang couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Overbearing? Damn… You haven’t seen her at her truly overbearing moments yet…
"Then he slapped me on the head, and I felt like my cervical spine shrunk infinitely, my neck thickened, and my spine compressed. My lumbar spine shrank… my two legs shrunk by half, and I felt like my head was flattened twice. When I touched it, it became square…"
At this point, including Chu Yang, all eleven people felt a chill run down their spines...
Just imagining the scene made them shudder.
Gu Yigu said tearfully, "At that moment, I thought about escaping, but even after escaping, the poison was still not cleared. So I said: 'Senior, I really need the Black Blood Rose…' After hearing this, that person said, 'Alright then, I’ll give you a rose.' Just as I was feeling pleased, I suddenly received a jab on my forehead… see, this is it."
