"Bone Grandpa, have you packed up the food?"
"Mm, more or less."
Gu Rong nodded, then looked at the wanted posters pasted nearby in confusion.
"What did you do? Why are there so many wanted posters?"
Lin Xiao gave an awkward smile.
"Hehe... Fat Guga went back to her old trade, and she also kidnapped the Zhu Family's second daughter while she was at it."
The Zhu Family's second daughter? Wasn't she royalty?
No wonder...
Gu Rong sighed helplessly.
"Since things have come to this, let's return to the Heaven Dou Empire first.
If they discover that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was behind this, it'll be troublesome if the two nations go to war."
Ning Rongrong's little face went pale. She immediately leaped onto Lin Xiao's back, tightly wrapping both arms around his neck and squeezing her eyes shut.
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat as the image of her throwing up all over him resurfaced in his mind.
"Rongrong, whatever you do, don't open your eyes. You have to hold it in!"
"Mhm, mhm! Rongrong will try her best."
Ning Rongrong buried her face against his shoulder and nodded her little head vigorously.
"Guga!"
The three Little Gugas also tightly hugged Lin Xiao's pant legs.
Whoosh—
Gu Rong activated spatial teleportation and carried everyone toward Heaven Dou City.
The next day.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Bleurgh!! ×5
Lin Xiao, Ning Rongrong, Fat Guga, Maid Guga, and Ninja Guga.
The two humans and three geese clung to the edge of the flowerbed and vomited five rainbows in unison.
Gu Rong rubbed the sparse hair on his forehead.
"Was it really that bad?"
"Cough, cough... Bone Grandpa, urgh! Blargh!!"
Just as Lin Xiao was about to speak, his stomach churned again, and he violently sprayed out another rainbow.
He repeatedly waved his hands.
"No more... I'm never taking your teleportation again..."
"Guga guga..."
Fat Guga's face had turned green. She lay weakly on the ground, spurting upward in bursts like a fountain.
"Sigh..."
In the blink of an eye, six years passed.
Inside the bedroom, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
"Phew... I finally broke through to level 43."
The four Spirit Rings circling his body were all ten-thousand-year rings, the result of the Gugas' feedback over the past six years.
During that time, the Gugas had used their various conceptual skills to transform the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Now, the sect's benefits included ten Spirit-Gathering Pills per month for nearly every disciple, speeding up their cultivation.
As for the many other varieties of pills, they required sect contribution points to exchange for them.
Besides pills, the storehouse was stocked with all sorts of items.
Specially made weapons, all kinds of talismans, and potions with strange effects—it had everything, all requiring contribution points to obtain.
The sect's overall combat strength had risen dramatically. Before long, it would likely become the number one sect under heaven.
"Brother Lin Xiao, are you done cultivating?"
The bedroom door opened a crack. Ning Rongrong's head was on top and Xiao Wu's was beneath it, the two stacked together like an acrobatic tower as they peered into the room.
"What is it? Don't tell me you want me to help you pull another prank?"
The moment Lin Xiao mentioned it, his head began to ache.
Ever since that incident six years ago,
Ning Rongrong seemed to have opened Pandora's box, with one evil idea after another spilling out.
She had even dragged Xiao Wu and the Evil Fat Gugas into it.
This included, but was not limited to, smearing chili water on the toilet paper in the latrine.
Throwing little grenades into the cesspit.
Adding itch powder and pepper powder to female disciples' body wash. Scratching hurt, but not scratching itched, leaving them no choice but to wriggle like maggots and rinse their bodies with water.
They were the dreaded little demon squad of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, hated by everyone and even dogs.
Now, whenever disciples throughout the sect caught sight of them, they immediately turned and ran.
They were terrified of becoming the target of their pranks by accident.
"Oh, no, that's not it. I want to run away from home."
Ning Rongrong pushed open the door, planted her hands on her hips, and spoke with a solemn expression.
Lin Xiao looked utterly baffled.
"?? Have you lost it?"
Ning Rongrong pounced onto the large bed, making the soft bedding sink slightly.
She propped her cheeks on both hands, swung her little legs back and forth, and pouted her small mouth high.
"It's all because of Father. He said I've turned the entire sect upside down and insisted on hiring an etiquette teacher to polish my temperament.
I don't want to learn that boring stuff!"
Xiao Wu hurriedly nodded beside her and seriously added,
"Most importantly, everyone in the sect is on guard against us now. They hide from us everywhere, so there isn't any fun to be had at all!"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.
"That last part is the real reason, isn't it?"
"Hehehe~ You figured it out."
Ning Rongrong winked with her right eye and stuck out her pink tongue.
Ning Rongrong bounced off the bed, grabbed Lin Xiao's sleeve, and gently shook it, her soft voice filled with coquettish pleading.
Lin Xiao's heart stirred, and he fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, the past six years in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been peaceful and uneventful. Day after day of cultivation had long since become dull and tiresome to him.
More importantly, he had always been concerned about the storms lurking across the continent.
Tang San, the favored son of destiny with the Asura God's blessing.
And Bibi Dong's plans for the Spirit Hall Empire.
Rather than passively entering the game, it would be better to take the initiative.
"Have you decided where to go?"
"Brother Lin Xiao, you agreed!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately released his sleeve, her face full of excitement.
"We're planning to go to Suotuo City, to a place called Shrek Academy. I heard they only recruit monsters, so it should be interesting."
Lin Xiao nodded.
So it really was that place. It had gathered everyone blessed with destiny into one rundown academy. The power of destiny really was unreasonable.
Impressive. Truly impressive.
"Fine. Go pack your things first. We'll sneak out tonight."
"Yay!"
The two girls jumped up excitedly and impatiently turned to run out.
Ning Rongrong ran swiftly, yet she did not forget to turn back and shout,
"Brother Lin Xiao, you're not allowed to go back on your word! We'll be back soon!"
Lin Xiao did not remain idle either.
He went to the courtyard and gathered all the Gugas together.
"Ahem... Today is a good day. Tonight, we're heading out to make our way in the world. Are you confident?"
"Yes! Guga!"
The Gugas responded in unison, their cries rising and falling one after another.
A slightly larger Evil Fat Guga excitedly stomped her little feet and cried out loudly,
"Boss! Are we finally going to become kings in our own right? Guga!"
Another Evil Fat Guga also jumped out, wearing an evil grin.
"Boss! Why don't we just seize the Heaven Dou Empire? Guga!"
"Good idea! Overthrow the empire's rule! Support the Guga King in ruling the empire, guga!!"
"We'll brave fire and water for you, Boss! Guga!"
As soon as those words fell, the other Gugas instantly erupted.
"OH!! Guga King! Guga King!!"
Their cries echoed through the courtyard as the Gugas waved their little stubby arms and jumped about in celebration.
There were even two Tailor Gugas who somehow pulled out a glittering golden Guga robe, ran up, and draped it over Lin Xiao without another word.
On the back of the Guga robe was printed the head of a Guga wearing a crown.
Then they brought over an exquisitely crafted Guga crown. Several Gugas stacked themselves high and placed it atop his head.
"..."
Lin Xiao stood frozen in place, his face covered in black lines.
They had even prepared the imperial robe. It seemed these Gugas had planned this all along!
You have truly made this emperor suffer!
