Chapter 753: The Robbery
Chapter 753: The Robbery
A handshake?
The concept of handshakes didn't exist in the vast expanse, except for the Milky Way.
Sensing something amiss, Shen Qi smiled faintly and was about to retract her hand, but Erya grabbed it and greeted, "Hello."
Little White didn't want to be left out, so she also shook Shen Qi's hand.
Shen Qi blinked and stayed silent. She felt uneasy for some reason.
"Miss, have you heard of the Milky Way?" Ye Guan asked."
Taken aback, Shen Qi asked back, "You know about the Milky Way?"
Ye Guan nodded.
Shen Qi was thrilled. "Are you a 'traveler' as well?"
Ye Guan shook his head with a smile. "No, but I visited the Milky Way."
Shen Qi whispered, "I see... how is the Milky Way doing during your visit?"
Ye Guan recounted the Milky Way's state of affairs.
Once Ye Guan was done with his recount, Shen Qi sighed softly and said, "It's been such a long time."
"Are you a 'traveler'?"
Shen Qi nodded. "Yes."
"So you died?" Ye Guan asked, raising an eyebrow."
Shen Qi burst out into laughter at Ye Guan's question. "Young Master Ye, so you understand the meaning of the word 'travel' in my eyes."
Ye Guan chuckled and asked, "Do you know how you ended up here?"
"I don't know," Shen Qi said, shaking her head. "I only remember getting struck by lightning and then finding myself here."
Ye Guan was intrigued.
"At first, I was really happy to find myself here, but I later realized that this place is far more brutal than my hometown. Here, people kill each other over the smallest disagreement," Shen Qi said.
"Do you wish to go home?"
Shen Qi nodded, and her voice was barely above a whisper as she said, "I wish to see it again."
Just then, footsteps echoed outside the hall.
Qing Dai's expression changed abruptly.
A middle-aged man slowly entered the room. The middle-aged man was wearing an elegant robe with his long hair cascading over his shoulders. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he was exuding a commanding aura. He was none other than City Governor Zhao.
Qing Dai sounded solemn as she said, "City Governor Zhao."
Ye Guan glanced at the middle-aged man but said nothing.
Meanwhile, Erya was still licking her hawthorn candy in silence.
City Governor Zhao's gaze shifted to Qing Dai and then settled on Ye Guan. "You must be Ye Guan?"
"You know me?"
"Well, I heard that the outside world now belongs to the Guanxuan Civilization. Is that true?"
Ye Guan nodded. "More or less."
City Governor Zhao chuckled and asked, "What brings you here?"
Glancing at Shen Qi beside him, Ye Guan said, "I heard from Lady Qing Dai that Shen Qi can be freed in exchange for the First God’s journal."
City Governor Zhao stared deeply at Ye Guan and said, "That's correct."
Ye Guan opened his palm, revealing the journal. "I happen to have it."
However, City Governor Zhao burst out into laughter and replied, "That was back then, but not now."
"Why not?"
City Governor Zhao smirked. "Because I don't like you. Is that enough?"
Erya nonchalantly muttered, "Oh..."
City Governor Zhao. “...”
Erya's indifference was truly infuriating.
Just then, Little White finally stopped but thousands of divine items were orbiting her.
Little White seemed perplexed, as these items weren't appealing to her.
Ye Guan noticed that and chimed in, "Not satisfied with some of them?"
Little White nodded.
Ye Guan quickly said, "We can't let them go to waste. I'll take care of it."
Ye Guan waved his hand, collecting every single one of them. Little White was not interested in them, but they were still valuable divine items, so Ye Guan decided to collect them for himself.
Qing Zhi shook her head with a knowing smile. She finally understood why Ye Guan wasn't thrifty; it turned out that he belonged to the wealthiest family in the vast expanse.
Qin Guan herself was the richest lady in existence, and Little White was a part of Ye Guan’s family.
Meanwhile, City Governor Zhao stomped forward, summoning a colossal divine statue behind him.
When the divine statue emerged, a powerful aura rolled out, rendering the world translucent.
Ye Guan's expression turned grave at the sight.
It was the most formidable divine statue that he had ever encountered so far.
However, Erya remained unfazed and was still licking her hawthorn candy.
Just then, City Governor Zhao pointed at Erya, and the divine statue mirrored his action.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed as a massive void appeared in the sky.
Erya charged at the divine statue.
Kaboom!
Erya shattered the divine statue's finger, and the divine statue staggered upon impact, sending shockwaves throughout the world.
City Governor Zhao was blasted away as well, and he stared with a stupefied face at Erya as soon as he stabilized himself in midair.
He didn't expect that she was strong enough to contend against his divine statue.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan breathed a sigh of relief.
Erya had proven to everyone that she was stronger than City Governor Zhao's divine statue.
Of course, Ye Guan knew that it was the case, as Erya could even contend against the Qingxuan Sword.
All of a sudden, Erya raised her hand and punched out.
A terrifying force surged toward City Governor Zhao, who dared not be careless.
He put his hands together and silently recited an ancient incantation.
The next moment, an illusory golden shield appeared in front of him.
Bang!
With a deafening explosion, City Governor Zhao was blasted away.
As soon as he stopped, the divine statue in front of him shattered into nothingness.
City Governor Zhao's expression instantly became fierce.
However, Little White sensed something just then. She turned and excitedly waved her tiny paws before tapping Ye Guan on the shoulder.
Ye Guan hurriedly asked, "You found a treasure?"
Little White nodded eagerly.
"Let's go!" Ye Guan immediately exclaimed, "Time to work!"
Qing Zhi. "..."
