Gu Against Gu

"This is eighty thousand. Count it. If you don't want to carry cash, I can transfer it to your bank account."

Wang Gang smiled sweetly and placed the money in front of Cao Xiaochun, speaking calmly.

"I trust that a Seraph wouldn't pull any tricks over something as minor as settling a bill. Counting it would mean I don't trust you, sis."

Cao Xiaochun did not immediately reach out to take it and merely said casually.

"That thing over there should be an Ogre Hand Bone, right? I happen to need one lately. Could you sell me one, sis?"

Cao Xiaochun casually pointed at the bloody pile of flesh in the corner.

Like Goblin skulls, this thing was mostly used as decoration. So although it was expensive, it had little actual value.

Thus, Cao Xiaochun's seemingly offhand request did not appear abrupt.

"Oh? You like that?"

Wang Gang looked in the direction Cao Xiaochun was pointing. A group of professionals had brought it in that afternoon. She had already dealt with their main goods, but since this thing was worthless and troublesome to handle, she had temporarily tossed it into the corner.

"Yeah, I'm interested in the hand bones of monsters like these. But I only recently changed classes, and leveling up is more important right now, so I could only put this little hobby aside for the time being."

"But I happened to see a ready-made one today, so I wanted to buy one."

Cao Xiaochun spoke openly, as though the thought had merely occurred to him on a whim.

Hearing Cao Xiaochun's words, Wang Gang nodded lightly. The reason seemed perfectly valid, and it was just a material anyway. She had no reason to refuse.

"Since that's the case, I'll give you one. But that thing is filthy, so you'll have to pick it out yourself."

Wang Gang curled her lips and spoke casually. It was worthless to begin with, and Cao Xiaochun's actions today had left a good impression on her, so she was happy to do him this small favor.

"Then thank you, sis!"

Cao Xiaochun's eyes lit up, and he answered quickly. Since childhood, he had believed in one saying: "Politeness leaves you hungry!"

So when Wang Gang said she would give him one, he immediately accepted and eagerly went over to choose.

Wang Gang could not help laughing at Cao Xiaochun's somewhat childish behavior. Then again, he was only a high school student about to graduate. How mature could she expect him to be?

Cao Xiaochun pretended to browse for a while before picking up the hand bone containing Dragon Aura. Smiling, he said,

"Since it's a gift from you, sis, I can't be too greedy. I'll take the smallest one."

"I'm not that stingy," Wang Gang sighed irritably.

"Even if you aren't, I have principles." Cao Xiaochun raised an eyebrow and replied casually.

"You look like a student. Have you decided which university you're going to apply to?"

Wang Gang crossed her arms. Though her voice was somewhat rough, it did nothing to diminish her sexy figure.

From the materials Cao Xiaochun had sold, she could tell that the young man before her had awakened a powerful class. Thus, she did not want to linger on the subject of Ogre Hand Bones and instead asked casually.

"Imperial Capital Academy." Cao Xiaochun answered offhandedly. When it came to universities, he would naturally aim for the best one. Besides, his fiancée was there.

"Is that so? Then good luck. But I heard this year's examiner at Imperial Capital Academy isn't someone to be trifled with."

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow at Cao Xiaochun's answer, as though her words carried another meaning.

"So what if he's difficult? It's not like he can eat me." Cao Xiaochun did not care. If his current strength still could not get him through the assessment, it would only prove that he had not slaughtered enough zones!

After chatting for a few more minutes, Cao Xiaochun put away the eighty thousand and prepared to leave. He still had things to do and could not waste too much time here.

Watching Cao Xiaochun's retreating figure, Wang Gang merely murmured, "Goodbye, customer. I believe we'll meet again soon."

After returning home.

Cao Xiaochun casually cooked something first. After eating his fill, he summoned the White Jade Gourd and tapped it lightly.

Two figures burst out!

The Binuoxiu sisters clutched their chests and looked at each other blankly at first. Then, when they saw the somewhat dazed Cao Xiaochun, they immediately felt a sense of closeness.

"Master!"

Cao Xiaochun felt a little lightheaded at that moment. Only then did he remember that when he had subdued the sisters, Xiao Qiang had smashed the ornaments on their heads to pieces!

In other words, aside from the staffs in their hands, the two of them were as bare as newborn lambs!

And because of the Slave Gu, they had absolutely no guard up around him. That meant Cao Xiaochun had already seen everything there was to see from the moment they came out!

"Wait here!"

Coming back to his senses, Cao Xiaochun rubbed his nose and quickly headed out, crossed to the opposite door, and knocked lightly.

"Who is it?" A response quickly came from inside. Soon, the young woman opened the door a crack. When she saw Cao Xiaochun's slightly flushed face, she froze.

Then she glanced into his home, turned back, and whispered.

"Oh my, landlord, my boyfriend is home tonight. We can't do this."

??????

Cao Xiaochun was utterly baffled by the young woman's words. I just came to borrow two sets of clothes. What the hell are you talking about?

After his brief explanation, the young woman was straightforward as well. Though there was something strange in her gaze, she readily lent him the clothes.

Only after the Binuoxiu sisters had put on the clothes did Cao Xiaochun finally calm his restless emotions and carefully examine their status panels.

[Binuoxiu lv18] (Bronze Rank) (Can be upgraded)

[Herak lv18] (Bronze Rank) (Can be upgraded)

Strength: 120

Agility: 135

Spirit: 140

Looking at their nearly perfect panels, Cao Xiaochun wondered whether he should help them improve further. After all, for a long time to come, they would be important fighters at his side.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Cao Xiaochun looked at the sisters. Seeing the intelligence in their eyes, he felt that their intelligence was definitely not low!

The sisters looked at each other and nodded lightly. Though they were monsters, aside from the memories that had already been crazily devoured and their lack of worldly understanding,

they were no different from ordinary people.

Seeing the sisters' affirmative expressions, excitement flashed in Cao Xiaochun's eyes.

Since they possessed intelligence, he could use Gu Against Gu and place Moonlight Gu into their staffs. That way, the sisters would instantly gain a powerful Moon Blade skill!

Not just Moonlight Gu—so long as the sisters could continue improving, they would be able to command even more Gu. This would save his mental energy while also giving him more methods to use!

"Master, tight..."

Just as Cao Xiaochun was imagining the wild plans in his mind, Herak suddenly spoke softly from the side.

She kept tugging at her clothes. The size seemed too small, making them uncomfortable to wear.
