Chapter 49 Another Paradise(7)
update icon Updated at 2025/7/6 0:10:13

The short and fat guy didn't realize what had happened before he died, but that's not surprising.

I can only say...

"Your brotherly bond is really strong." That's my only evaluation.

Yes, they are weak and even a pair of bullies who like to pick on the weak.

But I can feel that their brotherly bond is genuine, and I have to admire them for that.

"It's not your fault, it's this world... blame it on this world for making you so weak! And by killing you, I'm giving you a chance to rest."

Perfect, this way my conscience won't be condemned.

After burying the bodies of the two brothers, I felt an unprecedented sense of relief. It's really refreshing!

Although I dislike these two brothers, it's not their fault. It's like the slogan in India: "No one in this world is pure, that's life! Life is tough..." Hehe, saying it like this doesn't matter. After all, it's their own fault for being so low.

Well, there's nothing wrong with having a humble job, but they still have a little bit of dignity and courage, which isn't too bad.

This is also a form of punishment for them, granting them a painless journey to hell, and providing an explanation to those they killed.

It seems that the Western Regions are really a dangerous place!

I don't know who said it was safe here, really, let me...

"Hey!" Just as I was complaining about the danger here, more than twenty guards suddenly burst in and surrounded me. "After all these days, we finally caught you?"

"Huh?" I didn't understand what they were saying.

Bang!

I was thrown into the prison cell, and now I finally realized that I had gotten into big trouble.

"I'm innocent! I'm also a victim..." I shouted loudly, but was interrupted by my cellmate.

"I'm innocent too! It's not that I had ulterior motives towards my underage niece, she threw herself at me!"

"Uh, may I ask?" I asked hesitantly, "How old is your niece now?"

"Not that young, still only about fourteen, but her figure is mature! Every time I see her..." His face twisted into a lecherous expression as he spoke.

Beast!!!

Without hesitation, I punched him in the face. Because this old guy seemed to be around fifty years old, I didn't expect him to be such a vile creature!

He's such a despicable person... damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

"Hey, guard!"

"Aren't we all dying here? Can't we all get along?"

"D-dying?"

"Yeah, otherwise scum like you will only cause trouble outside."

"But I'm innocent! The ones I got rid of are the real culprits, not me! I'm innocent..."

"Innocent? Wronged? Haha, don't you ask, there are so many wronged and oppressed people in here!"

"I..."

"Quiet down! If you ask me, your head is about to become our group's drinking money. So calm down and think about your final worth!"

"Well... that's fine! But I still have something to say. Transfer me to another room, I don't want to be with this creature."

"Uh, what do you think this place is? A hotline for emotions or a luxury hotel? Let me make it clear to you, this is the famous Great Western Prison, and it's the end of your life's journey here!"

As soon as the prison guard mentioned the Great Western Region prison, I suddenly became excited.

"Is this the Great Western Region?" I grabbed the railing, unable to contain my excitement on my face.

But after seeing my reaction, the prison guard became even more interested. He shook his head and mocked me, saying, "Haha! You're about to die, and you still care about all these nonsense. If I were you, I would just hide in a corner and take a few breaths."

I had no choice but to try to negotiate: "Hey, I'm here to find Uncle Han. If you can let me go, I'll give you a thousand gold coins when I come back. You know, that's a lot of money...

"Hey, save your talk. I don't know if you have a thousand gold coins or not. Unless you give me five hundred first!" The prison guard didn't give me any chance and directly said something that made me desperate.

"By the way, I only have fifty gold coins with me right now. When I find Uncle Han, can I give you the rest later?" I tentatively communicated and took out the fifty gold coins from my storage bracelet.

"It looks good, but what about the rest of the gold coins? Where should I find you?" The prison guard greedily asked, not satisfied with just fifty coins.

"At the entrance of the Han family mansion, I will give you the rest there." I said without hesitation.

Sure enough, as soon as I mentioned the Han family mansion, the prison guard's legs suddenly went weak, and then he tremblingly helped me open the prison door.

"Sir... I saw you and felt that you were extraordinary. Please... please go! The fifty gold coins you rewarded me are enough. Killing a criminal only gives one gold coin as a reward, so this is more than enough... go ahead."

When the prison guard said this, he had a faint uneasiness in his heart, but when he saw that I was wearing the clothes of a disciple of Qing Shui Mountain, he completely surrendered.

Qing Shui Mountain's Feng Ling Pavilion and the Han family in the Western Region had a long-standing relationship, so he immediately understood who Uncle Han was when I mentioned him and kept apologizing on the way.

It must be said that it was thanks to me being a disciple of Qing Shui Mountain that things went so smoothly for me.

But on the other hand, that guy really only cared about money and had little regard for his life. Anyway, I didn't need those gold coins.

I also found a considerable amount of gold coins on the two people I killed in the cave earlier. Although there were only about twenty or so, it was enough to save my life and allow me to stay in a decent hotel.

Sigh, being able to survive in such a world is already good enough. How can I ask for more?!

"If he finds out that I don't even know who Uncle Han is, he will definitely kill me directly and take away the gold coins on me!"

For such an ending, I would rather spend a large part of the gold coins to eliminate any disaster.

Running out of money is not a problem. As long as I have a couple of skills, I can still make a living in the Western Region.

The streets of the Great Western Region are larger than anywhere else. I heard that if people here don't cultivate in specific places, they won't be able to utilize any spiritual energy.

The things on the streets are messy, but one thing is for sure, there are really too many things here!

A dazzling array, rare in the world... Hahaha, my eyes are almost dazzled...

Hey, aren't those colorful ribbons used for making clothes over there? I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

That is a very rare decoration, the color will change with the surrounding changes, it is a weapon to preserve one's own life, and it has an immune effect on those illusions with very good vision.

Unfortunately, it does not have the ability to prevent smell at all. If it encounters some illusions that are sensitive to smell, it is basically a failure.

Ah, in short, it is a very good auxiliary tool, but if you rely too much on it, you may end up losing your life!

"It makes sense, but what about the truth?" Long Ling asked disdainfully.

"Although I don't care at all, but you also see the deadly price, it takes a whole twenty gold coins!!" It was like a heartache in my heart, but I still resisted the urge to splurge.

"Then what?" Long Ling still asked indifferently.

"What then?" I explained in surprise, "You have always been used to spending money lavishly, but I am from a poor family. If I spend twenty gold coins, we will both go hungry!"

"So what, haven't I always been like this?"

As he said that, Long Ling deliberately took a deep breath and made a chewing motion.

Heh...

Let her just babble there, I will definitely be more thrifty in the future.

It's better to choose a cheaper hotel to stay. The hotels here are too expensive. Some of them cost ten gold coins a month, while the cheaper ones only cost two gold coins a month.

Yeah...but just two gold coins...

But even this just makes me feel heartache!

Oh, and I don't even know how long I will stay in the Great Western Region! If it's about a month, it's fine, but if it lasts longer...

"Oh dear, such a poor child. Sister will give you a few thousand gold coins to spend!" Long Ling couldn't stand it anymore, and directly transferred more than six thousand gold coins into my bracelet, making me suddenly wealthy.

"Wow, Master, you're so rich but still so stingy. If you had given it to me earlier..."

I hadn't finished my sentence yet when Long Ling interrupted me, "If I had given it to you earlier, you would have enjoyed yourself and wouldn't even want to walk, right? Let the carriage carry you around? Let me tell you, these gold coins are used for a sharp edge, not just for your accommodation!"

"A sharp edge?" I didn't understand this sentence, "Where is the sharp edge? And what is it for?"

"Hehe, I said you wouldn't understand. It's in the front... the Great Western Region Auction House! You should know that the auction house in the Great Western Region is omnipotent. There are many small auction houses within it. And this time, I used a thousand gold coins to bid for the Illusory Spirit Technique to train you!" Long Ling said earnestly.

The Illusory Spirit Technique is to replicate one's own container and thereby stimulate the limit of spiritual energy within the body, without any worries about the possibility of going berserk or dying.

In simple terms—it's overclocking!
