I'm a Boy Too

"You lost! Hand over the temporary Storage Space." (Source: LeDuXiao. com)

The Demon Face disappeared, and Gu Ding grinned as he looked at Ye Mei, then reached out his hand to him.

Ye Mei stood there, his face grim. He hadn't expected that even after using his Bloodline Forbidden Technique, he would still be defeated by Gu Ding. His eyes flickered as he considered whether to unseal his cultivation and kill Gu Ding to silence him, since Gu Ding had not only witnessed his "Blood Moon Seal" but had also defeated him.

"Don't forget, you signed a contract and put your fingerprint on it. As a king, what would the Night God think if his descendants couldn't even keep a contract?"

Gu Ding confidently projected the contract the two had just signed. He wasn't afraid of Ye Mei's attack at all; the golden Skeleton Leopard was lurking nearby, ready to take him away in an instant. Ye Mei, bound by the rules of flight, would have no chance of catching the Golden Skeleton.

Seeing her own fingerprint on the contract, Ye Mei snorted coldly, took off a ring from her wrist, and tossed it far away to Gu Ding. "Hmph, a loss is a loss. I'm not a sore loser. However, next time I see you, I won't just make you pay back your money with interest, I'll take your life!"

Gu Ding casually caught the ring, penetrating it with his spiritual power to examine it. Upon seeing the abundant cultivation resources inside, he was overjoyed, but his words remained blunt. "Who knows when we'll meet again? Besides, with these resources you've given me, my breakthrough to the God Realm is just around the corner. When we clash again then, you might still be the one to lose."

"You..." Ye Mei was speechless for a moment. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to joke with him. Gu Ding's words had made him laugh back, and he didn't know how to retort.

The thought of those cultivation resources only fueled his frustration. His Old Ancestor, the Night God, had given him these resources intending for him to break through to godhood in these Ancient Ruins and then advance several minor ranks at once. However, driven by his eagerness to find treasure, he hadn't used any more resources after reaching the One-Star Low-rank God. As a result, Gu Ding benefited from them.

Seeing that Ye Gu Ding had been Ye Mei "you" for a long time without uttering a second word, Gu Ding didn't bother waiting for him to figure out how to retort. He used his soul power to contact the golden Skeleton Leopard hiding not far away. A Golden Light flashed, Gu Ding leaped up, landing on the back of the Golden Skeleton, and soared away, leaving only a voice echoing in Ye Mei's direction, "I'm leaving first. No need to see me off!"

Watching the Golden Light dart away, Ye Mei didn't chase after it. He knew that with his speed, he couldn't catch up at all. Standing still, he formed several hand seals, the seal on his cultivation was broken, and he regained his cultivation as One-Star Low-rank God. With a few leaps, he disappeared from the spot.

Half an hour later, Gu Ding and Liliath's group had reunited.

"How is it?" Seeing Gu Ding return unharmed, everyone gathered around, eager to know what had happened.

Gu Ding grinned and waved a ring in his hand.

"You didn't actually win and steal his ring, did you?" Liliath and the others were all dumbfounded. They had seen Ye Mei's strength on the video projection before.

"We won the fight, but that guy Ye Mei bound his cultivation, and he didn't steal the ring; he tricked him into giving it to him." Gu Ding calmly recounted what had happened.

Not satisfied with just hearing the story, Liliath and the others clamored for the Sea Emperor to project the video of the battle. When they saw the Demon Face unleash his full power and shatter the Moon Goddess of Ye Mei, everyone applauded and cheered.

Gu Ding then sorted through the treasures he had obtained from Ye Mei and distributed them to everyone before speaking. "These resources are enough for us all to break through to the God level. Moreover, we suppressed our cultivation levels before in order to enter this ruin, but there's no need for that now. Let's find a place to break through to the God level and then continue exploring for treasures."

"Indeed, our cultivation has already reached the point where we can break through. If we continue to stay at the demigod level, the increase in strength will not be significant." Liliath shared the same thought.

"I originally planned to exchange for some resources to break through after leaving this site, but now that I have enough resources, there's no difference in breaking through now." Scarlet did not raise any objections.

Elsa and Dokter were also eager to try.

"Although my body has completed energy transformation, I feel that my cultivation is not very stable yet. I'd better wait before I improve. You don't need to worry about me." Since Gu Ding Pirate Crew, Miko to advance from an ordinary person to a demigod in just a few months with the accumulation of a large amount of resources. He also knows that his foundation is not stable and does not intend to continue to advance rashly.

"Well, Miko, you should focus on building a solid foundation before attempting a breakthrough. An unstable foundation will affect your later cultivation." Gu Ding rubbed Miko's head.

"Then let's leave this Miniature World first. If we break through here, the energy fluctuations will definitely attract the attention of Ye Mei and the others. I doubt they will easily give up the treasure in that warehouse and leave the Miniature World. You should take advantage of this time to break through outside the Miniature World. With the isolation provided by the Miniature World, Ye Mei and the others won't notice," the Sea Emperor suggested.

Following the Sea Emperor's suggestion, Gu Ding and his group left the Miniature World without further delay. As for the warehouse, Gu Ding knew it was beyond their reach; the two Platinum Skeleton guards were far too powerful, making it impossible. They figured they could only obtain it when the Federal Government re-established the passage and sent in experts with Half-Step True God strength.

Having obtained two spiritual items for cultivation and several Pseudo Spiritual Object in this Miniature World, their gains were already quite substantial. Gu Ding and his companions weren't greedy; they knew when to stop, so they wisely chose to leave.

The group, carried by the Golden Skeleton cheetah, arrived at a valley several hours later. This was where Liliath had hidden her skeleton army; over forty Golden Skeleton had already gathered there, their movements concealed by Miko's array. The Silver Skeleton and Bronze Skeleton, however, had long been abandoned.

After entering the valley, Miko reinforced the formation again, while Gu Ding took out the Time Acceleration Cabin. With a hundredfold time acceleration, although only one person could enter at a time, taking turns using it would allow everyone to reach the level of a god in just a few hours.

Before entering, to avoid making everyone tedious while waiting, Gu Ding took out the Spirit Vein Hot Spring, filled it with source stones, and threw it on the ground, turning it into a real hot spring. "Everyone can take a bath first, it won't be so boring."

With a hot spring nearby, Liliath and her group naturally wouldn't be shy about using it. Besides, the hot spring area was quite large, and it could probably accommodate two or three hundred people without much problem.

"Elsa, Miko, and I are here, you boys go over there!" Liliath said, hands on her hips, as she began to mark out the territory.

"But I'm a boy too..." Miko said weakly.

Gu Ding then stepped into the Time Acceleration Chamber... (To be continued...)
