Chapter 24: Chu Mengxi's Backstab! Monk and Daoist Priest Attack!
Tossing two mutation fruits to Guilai, Gu Qijue took a seat at the conference table, his gaze falling on Bai Jingyi and her daughter, Su Qian.
Gu Qijue recognized Su Qian; she was his classmate.
He hadn't expected to meet her here.
Su Qian looked him up and down, surprised, and said, "Classmate Gu, I didn't expect it to be you..."
Seeing this, Bai Jingyi hesitated and asked, "Xiao Qian, is this your classmate?"
Su Qian nodded, "Yes, Mom!"
"Hello, Classmate Gu. I'm Su Qian's mom, and the principal of this high school. I came here to take you all to the Imperial shelter."
Bai Jingyi looked at Gu Qijue and got straight to the point, "It's too dangerous to stay here. It's better to go to the Imperial shelter with us."
Gu Qijue smiled faintly and said, "I killed General Lin's grandson. Do you think he'll let me in?"
"This..."
At these words, Bai Jingyi was speechless.
"Go ask the survivors here. Anyone who wants to leave with you can go! I will do my best to protect those who stay."
Speaking of which, Gu Qijue showed a peculiar smile, "Of course, if you are willing to stay, I will also take you in."
If they weren't Emperor Tier Super Martial Artists, Gu Qijue wouldn't have said this.
"Principal, stay! With Boss's strength, he can pick many mutation fruits every day. But you might not get any mutation fruits in the Empire."
Ji Shang persuaded and tempted, "Taking one mutation fruit is equivalent to absorbing six to seven hours of sunlight. As Boss and our strength grow, we'll be able to take several per person per day in the future."
"A fruit like that just now?"
Bai Jingyi was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.
She knew from the news about the fruits that grew on those mutation trees this morning. Super Martial Artists could consume them, and they had great benefits.
Now, hearing Ji Shang say that one mutation fruit was equivalent to six to seven hours of sunlight cultivation, how could she not be tempted?
There were too many Super Martial Artists in the Empire, and quite a few Emperor Tiers. Even if they could pick mutation fruits from countless mutated creatures, they likely wouldn't get any.
"Can I try one?" Bai Jingyi asked Gu Qijue in a low voice, "If it really has such effects, I'm willing to stay!"
In this apocalypse, strength was paramount.
Gu Qijue didn't speak. He took out two from his brow space and placed them in front of Bai Jingyi and Su Qian.
"Thank you!"
The mother and daughter said thanks, then picked up the bright red fruits and took a bite.
They found that it melted in their mouths.
After turning into a warm current within their bodies, this energy all gathered in the super patterns in their palms.
When they finished the whole fruit, the super patterns on their palms lit up with a glow, directly advancing from the late stage of Two-star Super Martial to Three-star...
Seeing their faces full of joy, Gu Qijue said faintly, "From now on, anyone who wants mutation fruits will need to exchange them with contributions. Collect supplies at night, and cultivate peacefully after snatching mutation fruits during the day."
"Dinner's ready!"
At this moment, Wu Jiao came up and called out.
It was past seven in the evening, and the twin moons were in the sky outside.
"Master, I'll take my leave first. I'll be sure to bring enough human food when I return," Guilai said in a low voice, his injuries already healed.
"If I don't see you back by tomorrow morning, I will activate the lightning ball in your mind and kill you," Gu Qijue said, glancing at it faintly.
"I wouldn't dare. I'm leaving now."
Guilai said, then flew out the window.
"Classmate Gu, Xiao Qian and I will stay too..." Bai Jingyi couldn't resist the temptation of the mutation fruits.
Gu Qijue nodded slightly, "That's excellent. Go down to eat first, and then everyone go out to collect supplies."
Bai Jingyi coughed lightly, "Um... Classmate Gu, you can take my room. I have some things to pack. You guys go down and eat first, I'll be right there!"
"Please do!"
Gu Qijue said faintly, then led everyone downstairs.
Bai Jingyi went upstairs to her former room.
When she entered the room and saw the drawer slightly ajar, her mature and charming face blushed. "This... he must have seen it..."
Downstairs in the dining room.
Gu Qijue, White Fox, Zhao Hu, Wu Jiao, Su Qian, Ji Shang, and others were already seated at the dining table.
"Where is Chu Mengxi? Why don't I see her?"
Gu Qijue looked around, realizing the woman was missing. By rights, she should have returned by now, and she hadn't contacted him either.
Zhao Hu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her return. Could it be that after witnessing the Ancient Martial Artists among humans, she ran off? Or perhaps she met with misfortune."
Su Qian heard this and said, "Chu Mengxi? She's at the Imperial shelter. I saw her there once."
"Damn it, just as I suspected, that bitch. She wouldn't betray us, would she?" Zhao Hu was suddenly alarmed.
Gu Qijue, hearing this, his eyes revealed a cold glint. He took out his phone and directly called Chu Mengxi via WeChat voice.
He discovered that she wasn't a friend...
"6!!!!!"
Killing intent filled Gu Qijue's eyes. "I should have killed her long ago. I was too merciful."
"Demon Dragon, come out and die!!"
Just then, a woman's loud shout suddenly came from outside the school.
"Damn it! She really betrayed us."
"Bastard, we should cut her into a thousand pieces."
Ji Shang and Zhao Hu, upon hearing this, were both furious.
Su Qian, who knew the inside story, said in a low voice, "Boss, two Innate Ancient Martial Artists arrived at the Yun City shelter today. It must be them."
"If she dares to betray us, I will make her watch her own family die before her eyes."
Gu Qijue's eyes showed a cold glint as he stood up and quickly walked outside.
Seeing this, everyone angrily followed behind him.
Outside the school gate.
There weren't many people.
Only a handsome Monk and a female Taoist priestess wearing a Taoist robe.
The handsome Monk smiled and said, "According to what that female benefactor said, he is human. Your address is incorrect."
The female Taoist priestess snorted coldly, "Do humans look like that? This kind of abomination must be purged!"
"You two have such big mouths. Do you really think you can kill me? I think you've come here to die."
At this moment, Gu Qijue walked out with the White Fox and others.
"As expected, arrogant. You slaughter Super Martial Artists. This crime alone is enough to ensure your death today, regardless of whether you are human or not."
The female Taoist priestess drew her three-foot-long Qingfeng sword with a clang and pointed it coldly at Gu Qijue.
"Amitabha, benefactor, turn back and find the shore!"
The handsome Monk chanted a Buddhist mantra and said, "If you surrender, I guarantee your life will not be in danger."
Zhao Hu sneered, "Hypocritical bald donkey, what are you barking about? Surrender? Do you really think you're someone important?"
"As humans, you associate with monsters. You all deserve to die."
Killing intent filled the female Taoist priestess's eyes. Visible true qi circulated around her body, and then with a whoosh, she directly charged at Gu Qijue with her sword.
