Chapter 1095: Facing Fear and Cutting Off the Honor and Dishonesty
"Well, I think you should let me think about it first. What you said scared me a little."
Ying nodded: "At least now, there is still enough time. This body can wait for you to adjust your condition."
I haven't agreed to be beaten up by you along with the general!
Gu Sanqiu held his breath and chose to go back to his room, and then saw Hu Tao following him in as if it was a matter of course.
"What's going on? Didn't Shen Zi and the others arrange a room for you?"
"What's the big deal? Qiuqiu, you definitely won't sleep anyway."
Kurumi jumped onto the bed, sat down cross-legged, hugged the pillow, and looked curious.
"Qiuqiu, why don't you agree? This rare opportunity should be the favorite part for a battle fanatic like you."
"What do you mean by battle maniac? But you are right. When they were at my house, they were indeed using the secret transmission method."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head helplessly: "Seeing how a being at the level of a demon god fights, it sounds good, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just me getting beaten up? "
Walnut asked with a smile: "Are you afraid of being beaten, or do you look down on girls and don't want to fight with them?"
Gu Sanqiu:?
Qiuqiu pointed at herself and said, "How could I have the guts to look down on women? All the near-fatal injuries I've suffered over the years were basically caused by women!"
Walnut's expression changed instantly: "Okay, now tell me the truth. That's what you told me before!"
Damn it, he was actually tricked by this little girl!
"Well, from a common sense perspective, I have suffered so many near-death injuries, but I am still standing here alive and kicking. This can be considered a skill, right?"
"Tsk, I'm ignoring you."
Hu Tao lay down with her pillow in her arms, turned over and faced away from Gu Sanqiu.
Although I already knew that he was in great danger outside, it still felt a bit uncomfortable to hear him admit it himself.
Gu Sanqiu sighed, then tapped lightly on the Eye of Legend with his fingertips.
"Dad, so what is going on."
"What Ying said does make sense. This is a rare opportunity. However, judging from the timing, the so-called opportunity was something you fought for yourself back then."
With the help of the Eye of Legend, Zhongli sat at a tea stall, playing chess with Wendy while having a remote conversation with his rebellious son.
"Fighting a demon god-level warrior is completely different from being crushed unilaterally."
"After the Demon God War, the system of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World was established. This means that ordinary creatures will inherently have a psychological disadvantage when facing demon gods."
Zhongli paused for a moment, then moved a piece directly to catch the key point of Wendy's chess formation.
Even if she divided her mind, Wendy would not be his match at chess.
"When you face the demon god normally, I'm not worried that you will have any psychological weaknesses. Anyway, I haven't seen you have any fear for me and Ruota."
"But I also said that it was just a normal situation."
"When a demon god targets you and attacks you with all his might without reservation, humans during the Demon God War could withstand this oppressive feeling, but this may not be the case for creatures today."
"Peace will make the times and creatures forget heroes, just like what you have faced before. If they still remember the blood and tears of the past, no matter how much some high-ranking people try to provoke them, they will not attack you."
"The same goes for Blood and Courage. That's why I agreed to Ying's plan."
Gu Sanqiu scratched his head: "In other words, Dad, you still suggest that I go in and fight?"
"Well, this is a rare opportunity. Even though you are disrespectful to us, we will never really do anything cruel to you."
"But it's different with shadows. In a battle of ideologies, all the combatants must clash with all their will and determination. There is no possibility of holding back."
Gu Sanqiu was dumbfounded: "Then I will die immediately?"
"No, Ying said that the place was left by Raiden Zhen back then. Your battle is in a special space."
Gu Sanqiu touched his chin. Was it the space that he couldn’t find in Mingshen Taisha that year?
Is it true that Raiden really left a backup plan for the cook? Don't tell me it's another backup plan and then looking for an opportunity to be reborn into the dead.
Zhongli said slowly: "In there, what determines victory or defeat is not strength, but heart."
Gu Sanqiu's eyes lit up: "A pure battle of wills?"
"Not necessarily. If the gap in strength is too big, it will still be easy to be one-sided. But if you decide to join the battle, you have the help of the puppets she made, so the gap won't be too obvious."
"Then I probably understand. I will go in and join the battle."
It was purely a competition of willpower, or in other words, a competition of one's greatest wishes. If that was true, Gu Sanqiu felt that he wasn't necessarily afraid of Ying.
You can go, and it is necessary.
"That's it for now, Dad, when are you guys coming over?"
"No hurry, Wendy and I will take the boat over when the time comes. See you at Inazuma."
"OK."
Gu Sanqiu hung the Eye of Legends around his waist again, then walked carefully to the bedside and patted Hu Tao.
"Hey, girl, are you asleep?"
"Even if I fell asleep, I'd be woken up by you now."
Walnut turned back, hugging the pillow: "Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought about it. I'll agree to this battle early tomorrow morning."
Gu Sanqiu sat on the bed and flexed his fingers: "To be honest, although there is no danger to my life, facing a demon god with all his strength is the greatest danger in itself."
Hu Tao reached out a hand and grabbed Gu Sanqiu's clothes: "It's too dangerous, so don't go."
"Don't worry, I'm not a vegetarian either."
Gu Sanqiu stretched out his hand and placed it on Hu Tao's head: "Go to sleep, and when you get up early tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to see the cherry blossoms before I go to fight."
A warm touch gradually spread from her head, and Kurumi couldn't help but yawn.
"Then do you have anything you want to eat? I can prepare it and serve it to you when you come out."
Gu Sanqiu's expression was a little subtle: "That's not necessary. I don't know how long the fight will take. If you want to go somewhere, just let Shen Zi and the others arrange it for you."
Are you kidding? Planting a flag before fighting the devil?
How many lives do you have to play like this?
The next day, Gu Sanqiu wore a pink men's suit and admired the warm sunrise with Hu Tao. The light patterns shone on the tree, making it colorful, as if it was not an ordinary cherry tree, but a large work of art carved by Baoyu.
The breeze blew, and the flowers and branches danced with the wind under the movement of the air flow. The jade-like cherry blossoms alternated between light and dark, and the sunlight shining through the big trees also flickered, as if playing hide-and-seek with the sight of all living things with the help of the breeze.
If you look further into the distance, although it does not have the majestic atmosphere of overlooking the mountains among the clouds, it is still a rare view in the world.
Not everyone who has taken the trouble to climb Mt. Kagemukai and come to Narujin Taisha to pray is in the mood to appreciate the scenery.
I have been kneeling before the Buddha for three thousand years, just to seek Dharma, companions and wealth.
After hearing this, the Buddha wanted to hit someone.
The monks may also want to pick up their Zen sticks and hit you on the head, angrily yelling, "Buddha does not save fools (beep——)."
Gu Sanqiu and Hu Tao are not such people, but they are not the kind of contestants who are pretentious and whining.
Both of them were holding a bowl of ramen, tasting the craftsmanship of Narukami Taisha.
The beautiful artistic conception suddenly became down-to-earth.
High EQ: Down to Earth
Low EQ: Such beautiful scenery is still very appetizing when eating.
