418: The End of the God’s Tomb

The guys finally understood. What happened was this.

Yanran had got up early and wanted to make breakfast for everyone. Unexpectedly, Milty had also awoken early, and the two of them met. Naturally, they quarreled.

Yanran didn’t insult Milty back, she tried hard to explain that she harbored no romantic feelings for Oleen and that she would never get in between the two of them.

Well, Milty didn’t believe her and the quarrel became more intense.

This got Oleen’s attention and he went to take a look. The sight of Milty abusing his sweetheart made him lose his mind for a moment, and he ruthlessly used magic to attack Milty from behind. He didn’t hold back. It was only after he saw Milty laying in a pool of blood unconscious that he realized he’d created a disaster.

It didn’t bear mentioning, if Milty died because of him, her family would never let him go. Then there was the fact that students at Xingguang Holy academy weren’t allowed to hurt each other. Grave injuries would be dealt with seriously; there was even the risk of expulsion.

After he calmed down, even though he didn’t like Milty, he prayed she would live. As long as she lived, everything would be fine. He knew how much she loved him, so she would definitely forgive him and not allow anyone in her family to seek vengeance, nor would she allow the school to punish him.

Yanran never thought Oleen would hurt Milty so badly. She was one of the main characters in the disaster, so she was scared to death. She could only imagine what would become of her reputation if Milty died and news of it reached school. Oleen had done her a disservice. She did not want her reputation, something she had worked hard for, be ruined by him.

“Alright, you two, leave first. Oleen, we’ll discuss your affairs after Milty wakes up.” Jier had no sympathy for Oleen. The guy willingly attacked his fiancée, a woman who helped him tremendously, for another woman he only just met. How ungrateful.

Leo and Ink felt the same way. The three of them made Oleen and Yanran leave then they used life potions to heal Milty's injury. They were using high quality potions, so they managed to save her life.

Oleen went to see Milty in private after she finally woke up. Who knows what he said to her, but at the end of it all, Milty agreed not to pursue recourse for his attack.

Oleen was relieved to hear it. He didn’t bother with Milty again after that, and spent all his time chasing after Yanran.

For her part, Milty didn’t go after Yanran and make a fuss, instead she was unusually quiet and well-behaved. This was a relief to Oleen and Yanran, but Jier thought it was strange and a harbinger for trouble ahead.

Jier didn’t worry about it though; it wasn’t his business. As long as they didn’t quarrel with other people, he really didn’t care, although at times like this, he did miss Ming Xi.

If Ming Xi had been there, he wouldn’t have had to deal with the stupids at all. Leo and Oleen were both second years, so it wasn’t a given Leo would be able to make them listen. Jier was in an even worse position; he was only a first year!

Senior Ming Xi, Xiao Wu hurry and come back! When you do, don’t get too sour about having to watch a sadomasochistic love triangle play out in front of you. . .

...

Ming Xi and Xiao Wu, who were being called back by Jier, had been traveling through one king’s tomb after another.

Feng Wu was lucky and hadn’t encountered another imperial tomb as dangerous as the czar’s. In the past few days, she had sent a lot of souls to reincarnate, including all the different kings she rescued and various spirits she met along the way. That wasn’t to say the tombs were good places to be; it was just that their clear requirements were simpler.

Feng Wu’s trip was relaxing because she had Xiao Chun, the first king with all his attendants, and several new spirit additions to keep her company. Other people had it much harder. For them, it was a desperate fight for survival every time they fell into a new map.

There were either corpses to battle or layers upon layers of secret doors and traps to find and survive. Any carelessness resulted in death.

One day, Feng Wu was teleported to an island with a palace made of crystals. The island was surrounded by crystal blue water and had many intriguing plants that weren’t found in the outside world. The palace itself was also blue and had a shiny luster that was both mysterious and beautiful.

This was the sea god’s burial chambers no doubt.

Those gathered there eyed each other cautiously. They were the ones who had survived to the end.

The sea god’s artifacts and his godhead were the two most important treasures.

People with incredible aptitude could coalesce a godhead themselves, but few had that talent.

So for these guys, the only way to become a god was to get the godhead and hope to successfully integrate with it. However, it took time to integrate with a godhead; it wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two.

Many of the adventurers came specifically for the sea god’s godhead. His was a natural godhead, so it was much more powerful than a godhead acquired through talent. Successful integration meant the lucky person would become the new sea god, and their time on earth thereafter would be wonderful.

No one would have been able to survive to the end if they were weak. Everyone was an enemy; even friends in good standing couldn’t be trusted. Ordinary people just wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation of a godhead.

“Feng Wu! You’re still alive!” Zo brought Plum**His maid.** and his butler over to Feng Wu. He had a genuine smile when he saw Feng Wu. He had been worried about this friend of his who had taken cared of him. Fortunately, all the people he cared about were unhurt.

Eliza was fine. Feng Wu was fine. Both Plum and his butler were alive and well. As for his eldest brother, Caesar, he wasn’t worried at all. It was impossible for his brother to have an accident, not with his luck and abilities.
