With Chiling at her side, wouldn't killing Gu Chen be as easy as turning over her hand?
At that thought, Gu Youwei finished every last bit of the flatbread in her hand.
While her strength was still relatively abundant, she planned to sense the existence of the Heavenly Dao Bone within her body.
Because as long as she could sense the Heavenly Dao Bone, Gu Youwei would be able to raise her Cultivation Level much faster.
Yet after trying for a long while, Gu Youwei simply could not sense the Heavenly Dao Bone.
It was as though the thing had never existed inside her body at all!
"No, why is this happening?"
"Back in the Lingxu Secret Realm, Gu Chen pulled out my Heavenly Dao Bone in one go."
"But why can't I even sense it now?"
Gu Youwei carefully recalled whether she had made some mistake somewhere.
She even suspected that Gu Chen might have directly extracted her Heavenly Dao Bone at the instant of her rebirth.
However, Gu Youwei quickly dismissed that thought.
Because the instant she was reborn, Gu Youwei had appeared directly in the Gu family home.
From beginning to end, she had never allowed Gu Chen to get close to her.
So Gu Chen definitely had no chance to extract the Heavenly Dao Bone from her body.
"Forget it. Maybe my Cultivation Level is still too low."
"Perhaps once I raise my Cultivation Level a little, the Heavenly Dao Bone will reveal itself on its own."
As Gu Youwei pondered this, she never could have imagined it.
Gu Chen happened to pass by the mouth of the alley and walked straight into the inn beside it.
"Yo! Esteemed guest, are you looking to stay the night?"
Facing the waiter's enthusiastic greeting, Gu Chen replied blandly, "Get me a room."
Seeing Gu Chen dressed in ragged clothes, the waiter immediately said awkwardly, "Esteemed guest, the Rookie Competition is approaching, so our inn is nearly full every day."
"At present, our little inn only has one room left, but the price for this room may be a little high..."
Before the waiter could finish, Gu Chen placed a bag of silver on the counter.
Although Gu Chen did not say a word, the waiter's eyes instantly lit up.
With a beaming smile, he said to Gu Chen, "Alright, alright, alright! Esteemed guest, this way, please!"
In his previous life, Gu Chen had given up the inheritance and had no money.
He had endured many bitter days of sleeping in the open and eating whatever he could find while traveling with Gu Youwei.
Many times, he had even needed the support of his childhood sweetheart, Wei Qingyu, to get through difficult times.
But in this life, Gu Chen did not need to drag around Gu Youwei, that deadweight.
He also had his parents' inheritance in hand, so his days could not have been more comfortable.
But when night came, Gu Chen could not lie still at all.
Because all sorts of chaotic moans and cries kept coming from next door!
Gu Chen was instantly speechless. He could not help thinking, Do young people these days really have that much energy?
Unfortunately, Gu Chen's Cultivation Level had not yet reached the point where he could block out his five senses.
He could only knock on the neighboring door and say, "Brother, keep it down. Even plowing fields doesn't take this much effort."
Yet just as Gu Chen returned to his room, a fierce round of knocking suddenly erupted at his door.
"You don't have a partner, so you're jealous of others, huh?"
"I'll do whatever the hell I want. What does it have to do with you?"
Looking at the burly man before him, whose face was covered in flesh, Gu Chen truly did not know what expression to make.
By then, Gu Chen's patience had already worn thin.
After all, he had paid silver to stay at an inn, not to come here and suffer.
If he really wanted to suffer, he might as well find some ruined temple to stay in. He might even be able to improve his Cultivation Level there.
"You disturbed my rest. Understand?"
The moment the man heard Gu Chen say that,
he seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world.
With a snort, he burst out laughing on the spot!
"Are you here to be funny?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"You actually dare speak to me like that? I..."
All of a sudden, the man felt a force of ten thousand tons strike his body.
The next instant, his huge body bent in half!
Like a giant shrimp, he was sent flying backward!
He did not stop until he smashed through a pillar!
The man's female companion happened to poke her head out from the doorway at that moment.
The instant she saw this scene, she screamed in fright.
"Someone's been attacked! Someone's been attacked!"
The woman's shrill voice echoed endlessly through the inn's corridor.
It drew people from quite a few rooms to poke their heads out and watch the excitement, wanting to see what had happened.
The man had fallen to the ground, and every inch of his body burned with pain.
His female companion wanted to help him up, but the man instantly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ah!" The man's expression twisted in extreme agony. Anyone unaware of the truth might have thought he was about to give birth.
"My waist! My waist!"
Cold sweat immediately covered the man's forehead. His back felt as though countless sharp needles had been driven into it.
With even the slightest movement, he felt pain that bored into his heart!
His female companion examined him for a long time, yet she could not find anything stuck in his waist.
It was also at that moment that the man suddenly realized a terrifying fact.
His spine had already been shattered by Gu Chen's strike!
"You little bastard, you..."
The man had just wanted to throw out a few threats at Gu Chen, but before he could say more than a few words, he vomited a huge mouthful of blood.
Clearly, it was not just his spine that Gu Chen had smashed to pieces.
Even his internal organs had been beaten into pulp by Gu Chen!
The inside of the man's body was now like a heap of rotten mud, his organs all mangled together.
"Didn't I warn you not to disturb my sleep?"
Gu Chen stared coldly at the man, as though he were looking at someone already doomed to die.
After saying that, Gu Chen shut the door and returned to his room to sleep soundly.
At the instant Gu Chen stared at him, the man felt terror unlike anything he had ever known.
It felt as though his life itself were clenched in Gu Chen's hand!
With something like this happening at the inn, the innkeeper did not dare interfere at all.
After all, with the Rookie Competition approaching, Immortal County was now a muddled mix of fish and dragons, with influential figures from every path hidden among the crowds.
If they mishandled things, the inn might bring great trouble upon itself!
So regarding this matter, the inn could only turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.
After sending the man away for treatment, they acted as though nothing had happened.
Because the man's spine had been broken and his organs crushed, his appearance at the time had been exceptionally miserable.
Even describing him as bleeding from all seven orifices would not have been enough to convey his current wretched state!
The next day, tales of last night had already spread through the inn and the nearby streets.
"Last night, a young man killed a huge fat man with one punch—just one punch!"
"I saw everything! That man's organs were smashed to pieces, and he kept vomiting blood while they carried him away!"
