Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Blood Void Tavern.

Jiang Cheng and Su Lian’ya had already come down from the first floor, under the ambiguous gazes of everyone.

Everyone was curious about what Jiang Cheng and Su Lian’ya had discussed.

They felt that Su Lian’ya’s gaze towards Jiang Cheng seemed different from before.

“Mas… What did you talk about up there? It’s all so mysterious,” Qian Shanxue asked, very dissatisfied after seeing Su Lian’ya return to Zhao Bai’an’s side, still secretly glancing at Jiang Cheng with shy eyes.

“Nothing much,” Jiang Cheng said, sitting between A Silly Cutie and Qian Shanxue, separating the two. He patted Qian Shanxue’s forehead, “Don’t be so reckless next time.”

“Hmph.” Qian Shanxue playfully stuck out her tongue at Jiang Cheng, leaving Yun Long and the others astonished.

They couldn’t understand why Qian Shanxue and Skeleton God seemed so close.

But the next moment, Qian Shanxue seemed to be frightened by Jiang Cheng’s gaze, shrinking her head and obediently saying, “Okay, I got it. Hmph!”

“My god, how many close female friends does Skeleton God have?” Yun Yin counted on his fingers, “Dharma Saint, Thousand Miles of Frost, Su Lian’ya, Little Cutie… Who knows how many more secrets he has?”

After Yun Yin’s exclamation, A Silly Cutie, who was sitting nearby, seemed to have heard something, and her eyes suddenly dimmed.

She didn’t dare to look at Jiang Cheng sitting next to her, silently picking at the food in her bowl.

Although the Blood Void Tavern was a tavern, it also served food. After Dharma Saint left, the tavern owner came out to serve them.

Fist Sage wasn’t sure how long Jiang Cheng would be gone, so he ordered a table of dishes to replenish everyone’s hunger.

However, A Silly Cutie ate the most of these dishes, clearing about 80% of the entire table by herself.

Everyone sensed her low spirits and didn’t disturb her, letting her eat and drink as she pleased.

“Stop eating.”

Jiang Cheng reached out and gently caught her wrist as she was about to pick up more food.

“It’s done. Let’s go back and prepare for the city attack.”

Jiang Cheng exchanged a glance with Fist Sage and said leisurely.

Although Fist Sage couldn’t hear his words, he could more or less understand the meaning.

So he stood up and walked out with Jiang Cheng.

“Brother Shanhe, leaving already? Won’t you stay and celebrate with us a bit more?” Zhao Bai’an suddenly called out to Fist Sage, attracting everyone’s attention.

“No, I’m afraid the celebration might turn into a memorial service later,” Fist Sage stopped, said, and then left directly.

“Hmph, it’s just jealousy talking,” Zhao Bai’an coldly glanced at Fist Sage, then continued chatting with others, not bothering Fist Sage further.

Killing Fist Sage once wasn’t easy, and there was no need to do so.

Once the Temple’s guild establishment token arrived and the guild was formed, the Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers guild would crumble like a house of cards.

“Old He, not waiting for me?” Surprisingly, Path to Hell Huang Quan followed after Fist Sage and his group as they stood up.

He patted Fist Sage’s shoulder, “Your guild can be established today, right? Interested in adding me?”

“Hmm? Old Huang, your information is very up-to-date, huh?” Fist Sage looked at him in surprise, “What’s this, secretly picking up Reincarnation Six Paths again?”

“What are you talking about, that’s in the past. You must have heard what I said earlier, I’m joining your guild just to bring down the Temple,” Huang Quan shook hands with Fist Sage, getting straight to the point.

Fist Sage laughed casually, “Don’t misunderstand, I’m just curious how you figured out we’ve already obtained a guild establishment token.”

“Heh, I didn’t figure out anything, I just believe in this skeleton brother here,” Huang Quan glanced meaningfully at Jiang Cheng, who was still by A Silly Cutie’s side.

“You’re giving him too much credit,” Fist Sage said with a smile, subtly mocking Jiang Cheng.

“But my small temple can’t accommodate a great god like you. You can try asking Little Cutie.”

Fist Sage suddenly said, “Besides, I’m establishing a guild just to give my Shanhe Club another home. Little Cutie’s guild is the one targeting the Temple. I guess you coming to me about joining is just a pretense, and introducing you to Little Cutie is your real intention, right?”

“Haha, you know me so well,” Huang Quan leaned close to Fist Sage and said softly, “Old He, give me the inside scoop, what’s the deal with this skeleton brother?”

Fist Sage smiled and brushed it off, “Asking so much is useless. You’ll understand once you join Cutie Shakes the World.”

“Oh ho, you mountain-breaking weirdo, you’ve learned to keep secrets too.”

Huang Quan looked exasperated.

Mountain-breaking weirdo was another nickname for Fist Sage. Because the Martial Arts Master’s skills were mostly area-of-effect damage, and all had ground-breaking effects.

Plus, every time Fist Sage fought others, it was always extremely spectacular, often breaking mountains and splitting the earth. In arena battles, once Fist Sage went up, the next match definitely needed a new arena.

Over time, players jokingly called Fist Sage the mountain-breaking weirdo.

Breaking mountains and splitting the earth at the drop of a hat, it was truly ruthless.

“People change, you know,” Fist Sage smiled and brought Huang Quan in front of Jiang Cheng, then let go,

“You two chat. I’m going to a meeting.”

“Hey, Old He, you’re so unreliable,” Huang Quan looked exasperated as Fist Sage left coolly with Yun Xiang and others, leaving only Jiang Cheng and A Silly Cutie, along with Qian Shanxue who refused to leave.

“Xue girl, introduce me?”

“Who are you calling girl? Your whole family are girls,” Qian Shanxue glared at Huang Quan. “Little Cutie, don’t pay attention to him. Let him keep wandering alone.”

“Uh…” Huang Quan looked at Qian Shanxue awkwardly, “Come on, I’m an old legend. Give me some face.”

“Welcome to Cutie Shakes the World, Great God Huang Quan.”

To the surprise of Qian Shanxue and Jiang Cheng, A Silly Cutie actually took the initiative to invite Huang Quan to join Cutie Shakes the World.

This would have been unlikely in the past.

Because when Jiang Cheng was around, A Silly Cutie wouldn’t actively do anything, always waiting for Jiang Cheng’s arrangements.

This was the first time she had acted independently, making Jiang Cheng realize that something was different about A Silly Cutie.

“Haha, Cutie Shakes the World should be close to level 2 now, right? I’ll wait for good news from the guild leader then. You guys chat, I won’t disturb you,” Huang Quan said, having gotten what he wanted. He didn’t linger, said goodbye to everyone, and slipped away under Qian Shanxue’s rolled eyes.

“Master, your little girl doesn’t seem too happy. Why don’t you go comfort her? Your disciple has some business to attend to, so I’ll be off,” Qian Shanxue gave Jiang Cheng a knowing look and also slipped away with Huang Quan.

Only Jiang Cheng and the silent A Silly Cutie were left.

A Silly Cutie seemed to have lost her usual liveliness, her face devoid of smiles. She remained silent for half an hour as they walked down the road.

This time, she didn’t act coquettishly towards Jiang Cheng like before, asking him to summon his horse to carry her.

When Jiang Cheng called her, she seemed not to hear.

Jiang Cheng could only remain silent, accompanying her all the way.

“Where are you going? Luoyun City is this way.”

At a fork in the road, A Silly Cutie kept walking straight ahead, her head down, not realizing she had gone the wrong way.

“I know…”

A Silly Cutie’s words surprised Jiang Cheng. He moved forward and grabbed A Silly Cutie.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally grabbed her inner shoulder strap…

But Jiang Cheng didn’t care about that, instead stopping her and asking, “Where are you planning to go?”

With just this question, A Silly Cutie finally couldn’t hold back anymore, and tears burst from her eyes.

Her mind suddenly flashed back to the first time she met Skeleton Big Brother.

At that time, he was still a conscious skeleton that would space out.

But now…

“I… wuwuwu… I don’t want to go anywhere!”

As the shoulder strap loosened, A Silly Cutie didn’t move forward. Instead, she suddenly turned around and threw herself into Jiang Cheng’s arms, crying loudly.

“I… I just want to stay by Skeleton Big Brother’s side. I don’t care about being a guild leader, or being number one in the world, or being first on the rich list. I don’t care about any of it!”

“Why… why do they all know you?”

A Silly Cutie suddenly raised her head from Jiang Cheng’s embrace, looking at him seriously with her tear-filled eyes, and said chokingly,

“Skeleton Big Brother, I don’t know what your identity is, and I don’t want to know anymore.”

“I just want to be with you!”

“Skeleton Big Brother, can we go do a dungeon together?”

A Silly Cutie stared at Jiang Cheng intently.
