Chapter 1041: Chapter 2988: A Hundred Years of Lifespan Currency, a Thousand-Year-Old Fiend?
The World of Time, it’s simply a deadly pit!
Although she was complaining inwardly, Gu Changsheng knew that such grumbling was useless at the moment. What was most critical now was that she had to find a way to survive!
No matter how difficult it is, she must survive!
And to survive, Gu Changsheng urgently needed to know if there was any method to increase her lifespan currency!
“Could it be that completing this task will increase my lifespan currency?” Gu Changsheng speculated as she looked at the Mission Scroll in her mind.
Without lifespan currency in this World of Time, all that’s left is to starve to death, and Gu Changsheng definitely didn’t want to starve!
“Whatever, let’s complete this task first!” Wiping her face, Gu Changsheng couldn’t afford to worry about anything else.
Isn’t it just helping a concubine of a landlord’s family kill off the whole landlord family?
Although Gu Changsheng always felt that concubines were a bizarre existence, with this task in front of her, she had no choice, right?
Following the directions on the Mission Scroll, Gu Changsheng easily found the Huang Family’s location, reported to the gatekeeper that she was looking for Auntie Du, and was quickly led inside...
The Huang Family’s house wasn’t big, merely a small courtyard with three entries and exits. Compared to the courtyards Gu Changsheng had seen before, it was practically miniature, almost like you could see the end at a glance...
Lady Du, the Auntie of the Huang Family, started crying the moment she saw Gu Changsheng...
Looking at the person crying softly before her, Gu Changsheng felt her head swell...
This...
What kind of script is this?
Why does she feel a bit lost with the pace?
If Gu Changsheng remembered correctly, she didn’t even know this Auntie Du, did she?
The Auntie Du in front of her, looking weak and fragile, her appearance barely passable, now crying pitifully, truly eliciting a feeling of pity...
“You... speak your mind properly. I didn’t do anything to you, why are you crying? People might misunderstand...” Gu Changsheng held her forehead, feeling utterly speechless.
“Miss, you have no idea how much pain I have in my heart...” Upon hearing this, Auntie Du cried even harder...
“...” Gu Changsheng found herself in a situation where words failed her...
She didn’t want to know the pain in Auntie Du’s heart, truly...
But apparently, Auntie Du seemed intent on expressing herself...
Seeing Auntie Du was determined to pour out her troubles, Gu Changsheng quietly dragged a chair over to sit down and listen to the story...
Auntie Du, speaking of it, was quite pitiful. Originally a girl from a small family, she was born beautiful like a flower and thus attracted the attention of Landlord Huang, an old demon of a thousand years. Yes, precisely, a thousand-year-old demon. As a landlord, Huang scraped a lot of lifespan currency from tenant farmers, his lifespan naturally considerable. Huang fancied Auntie Du’s beauty, sparing no cost to snatch her into the mansion, ruining her family...
Auntie Du harbored hatred towards Landlord Huang, yet couldn’t help but bear the anger and swallow the bitterness. Recently, her childhood sweetheart rode in, rekindling her thoughts of killing Landlord Huang for revenge...
Of course, Huang’s possessions are to be seized as well!
In the World of Time, the most valuable thing is lifespan currency, and Landlord Huang possesses a thousand years’ worth...
“I understand what you’re saying. Previously, although you resented and hated Landlord Huang, you’ve lived with him for a long time. Now your childhood sweetheart has returned, and you wish to love and live together, making Landlord Huang seem redundant...” What Gu Changsheng said was somewhat biased, but the fact was just like that...
“I hated him to the core originally. The reason I endured living with him for so long was merely waiting for the right opportunity!” Auntie Du said, resolutely, “Therefore, I spared no expense of a hundred years of lifespan to issue this task...”
In the World of Time, by paying the corresponding price, one can post tasks at the task point...
And the bellyband task Gu Changsheng received was issued by Auntie Du!
A hundred years of lifespan, Auntie Du truly paid a hefty price for this task. However, compared to the millennium lifespan that the death of Landlord Huang could bring, this cost was within Auntie Du’s affordable range!
“Alright! Because Landlord Huang truly committed many crimes, I’ll help you complete this task!” Gu Changsheng said as she nodded after thinking it over.
For Gu Changsheng, a hundred years of lifespan was a substantial income, especially since this world required lifespan currency even to eat!
Gu Changsheng wouldn’t naïvely think her mortal body had enough lifespan to squander, so obtaining lifespan currency was essential!
“Really? That’s great! When shall we act?” Auntie Du asked eagerly and impatiently upon hearing the words.
“Act? Why don’t you tell me how you plan to kill Landlord Huang?” Gu Changsheng asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Of course, by acting directly. With higher martial arts, I can beat him to death...” Auntie Du responded confidently.
“Haha!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately laughed, “Better martial arts than Landlord Huang? What are you thinking? In this city, there are only a few who are stronger than Landlord Huang, right?”
Aside from the fact that Gu Changsheng came from the Middle Realm, her cultivation level was at the bottom here in the World of Time, just saying, Landlord Huang, being a thousand-year-old demon, naturally had high cultivation...
“Then what do you suggest?” Auntie Du asked, feeling discouraged.
“Resorting to force won’t work, so we can only rely on wit!” Gu Changsheng blinked innocently, “I have a medicine here. You just need to apply it when you’re being intimate with Landlord Huang, and he will die within moments. What’s your opinion?”
“Such a medicine exists in this world? He’s an absolute expert. Does your medicine truly work?” Auntie Du asked, pleasantly surprised.
“Indeed, while such a medicine might not exist in this world, I just happen to have it. If you trust me, take it!” Gu Changsheng shrugged noncommittally.
She was hailed as a Divine Doctor, if she couldn’t produce this little bit of medicine, wouldn’t that be too disgraceful?
“Alright! I’ll do it!” Auntie Du agreed immediately upon seeing this, taking the medicine, “So, I must trouble you to stay at the Huang Family for another day. Once it’s done, a hundred years of lifespan will naturally be offered!”
“Staying another day is surely no problem, but will you provide food?” Gu Changsheng asked, clutching her stomach with a bitter expression.
In her body, it’s genuinely a mortal frame!
Being hungry, it’s just too normal...
Heaven knows, ever since coming to this World of Time, Gu Changsheng hadn’t eaten anything!
“Of course!” Auntie Du immediately instructed the Maid to prepare food for Gu Changsheng, then headed to the front courtyard with a bowl of chicken soup...
