Chapter 1962 - 1545: Pure and Simple, Little Pretty Boy!

As Jin Bao the Infant mentioned, the Disaster-Breaking Chonghua is a supreme treasure flaunted by the Southern Border, and even Gu Changsheng finds it extremely handy!

To ask Gu Changsheng to hand the Disaster-Breaking Chonghua back to Baby Jin Bao, he felt a bit reluctant indeed. However, if he can’t settle this little infant now, he won’t even be able to enter Smelting City!

Gu Changsheng is someone who weighs the pros and cons well and can be said to achieve his objectives by any means necessary. So, to enter Smelting City, he didn’t hesitate to hoodwink the little infant!

He feels no guilt at all!

That’s right, Gu Changsheng is this kind of a bad guy!

"Haha... Times have changed, some opportunities come once in a millennium. Back when Baby searched for thousands of years on Divine Mount Qilian, only then did I collect enough heaven and earth treasures to rid myself of the fate of being possessed by gold foil. Now, even if the Disaster-Breaking Chonghua returns to Smelting City, how would that help? Without collecting those heaven and earth treasures, even with the Disaster-Breaking Chonghua, Baby would still be a Mountain Spirit, not becoming human..." As Baby Jin Bao spoke, he lowered his little head, showing an indescribable look of loss...

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel a mix of heartache and guilt...

However, he quickly comforted himself internally, why should he feel guilty? The Disaster-Breaking Chonghua was something his ancestors took great pains to risk the world’s wrath to steal from Smelting City!

It’s taken already, since they have this reputation now, the Chonghua Dagger naturally belongs to their Southern Border!

And this Baby Jin Bao isn’t worth sympathizing with!

This one may seem small, like an infant less than a year old, but he isn’t human! How could you measure him by human age?

He’s a Mountain Spirit! Do you understand what a Mountain Spirit is?

Who knows how many years he’s lived? Even searching for heaven and earth treasures can take thousands of years, he’s essentially a replica of Tianshan Tongmu!

Gu Changsheng would be stupid to sympathize with this one who looks like a pure and simple little boy but harbors a millennial evildoer’s heart!

"What’s good about being human? Jin Bao, don’t be disappointed, listen to me, being human really isn’t good, humans have birth, aging, sickness, and death, sickness and death can be really scary, you’re better off being the Mountain Essence, more carefree..."

Since offering the Chonghua Dagger didn’t satisfy Baby Jin Bao, Gu Changsheng instantly changed tactics, planning to take an alternative route!

If Baby Jin Bao willingly remains a Mountain Spirit, forgetting the ideal of being human, then the crimes of his ancestors who stole the Disaster-Breaking Chonghua and the debts owed could also be settled seamlessly!

What a perfect plan!

But Gu Changsheng thought about it beautifully on one side, yet the pure and simple little boy standing atop the City Gate wasn’t buying it!

"Hmph! You ignorant Southern Border person, what do you know? Despite ridding this gold foil, even if Baby becomes an ordinary infant, I won’t experience human aging, sickness, and death! Baby still can be immortal, forever young!" As Baby Jin Bao spoke, as if he thought of something delightful, his starry eyes glistened, counting on his little fingers, he gleefully said, "If Baby can become an ordinary human, then Baby could leave Divine Mount Qilian and explore the human world! I would see those city pools, those human interactions, those delicious foods, all of it! Moreover, Baby sitting on Divine Mount Qilian, controlling Smelting City will surely become a wealthy Jin Bao rich beyond measure!"

At this, Baby Jin Bao lowered his head, intensely gazing at Gu Changsheng, saying, "Do you know what Baby’s dream is?"

Gu Changsheng was already shocked by Baby Jin Bao’s words, and instinctively shook his head.

Meanwhile, those around Gu Changsheng, their expressions were all similar; overall, they were utterly speechless...

"Baby has one dream, Baby wants to be a wealthy man, build a huge mansion, marry a hundred and eighty beautiful little ladies, and have a group of little spirits..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s face twitched immediately...

This...

How should she react?

Is she dreaming?

She actually encountered a Mountain Spirit aspiring to be human, dreaming of becoming a tycoon with numerous wives and beauties?

Isn’t that right?

"A hundred and eighty beautiful little ladies... Aren’t you afraid of being impotent..."

Gu Changsheng, as a Doctor, from a medical standpoint, believes that monogamy is beneficial for physical and mental health, whereas polygamy can only lead to impotence!

The pure and simple little boy standing on the gate heard this, immediately glaring at Gu Changsheng, then fell back into his own fantasy, unable to extricate himself, continuing, "You don’t understand how difficult it is for our Spirit Clan to reproduce offspring. Across the whole Post-Ancient Era, this continent has countless mountains, rivers, and lakes, yet only Baby was able to condense the Five Elements to form a Spirit! Our Spirit Clan could be considered in your human terms as the epitome of a dwindling population, to expand my Spirit Clan, to continue my Spirit Clan’s bloodline, Baby will endure the pain and remove this gold foil to become a common human!"

"Aren’t all you humans known for being narrow-minded? Don’t you humans believe that those not of our kind must surely have different hearts? You humans, beautiful little ladies, definitely wouldn’t want to marry a Spirit, so Baby can only wait and hope, hoping that one day I could become human, no longer frightening humans, and marry many, many beautiful little ladies, giving birth to many, many little spirits..."

Gu Changsheng stared with wide eyes at the pure and simple little boy above, unsure of what expression to have in this moment!

After a while, Gu Changsheng finally came back to herself, practically expressing, "Well, Jin Bao, how do you know that marrying a hundred and eighty beautiful little ladies means you’ll have a lot of little spirits? You’re a Spirit, and considering intermarriage with ordinary humans, this..."

Who knows what kind of monster it’ll give birth to!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but vent in her heart.

Xu Xian slept with a snake and gave birth to a top scholar, that’s a legend!

Do you understand legend?

As a Doctor, Gu Changsheng believes in genetics and is convinced that cross-species romance is destined for a bad ending!

This outcome also includes the "fruit" that comes with blooming!

"Don’t all you humans marry beautiful young women and give birth to babies? If you humans can do it, why can’t I? I, Baby Jin Bao, am a Spirit nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years in the veins of Divine Mount Qilian, a much more sophisticated being than you ordinary humans!" Jin Bao the Infant said angrily in response.

"Uh..." Gu Changsheng was at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Alright then...

You’re a Spirit, not a human, you’re amazing!

But, that’s not the point!

The point is, why is she dawdling with this little pretty boy over nothing?

She wants to get into the city!

"Jin Bao, your ideals are great and ambitious, I support you! So, can you let me into the city?" Gu Changsheng blinked her big eyes, speaking with a pleading tone.

This Door God was a little too unexpected for Gu Changsheng’s imagination.

My god, wouldn’t it be better if the guard was a mere guard!

If the guard was just a guard, Gu Changsheng could just fight her way through, but with Smelting City having such a City Lord guarding the gate, what’s Gu Changsheng supposed to do?

All she can do is clutch at straws, right?

"I can’t!" The matter returned to the crux, and Baby Jin Bao’s reaction was uncommonly swift as he replied without hesitation.

Gu Changsheng choked on her words and couldn’t help but ask, "Why?"

"Because you’re from the Southern Border! And you have Gu insects on you!"

"It’s not my fault I’m from the Southern Border!" Gu Changsheng glared, "Demons are spawned by demonesses, humans are born to mothers, my mother happens to be from the Southern Border, is that something I can decide? Just like you, being a Spirit but wishing to be human, were you able to decide your existence as a Spirit? So, I don’t discriminate against you for being a Spirit, don’t discriminate against me for being from the Southern Border!"

Gu Changsheng was a bit riled up, unable to suppress her anger as she spoke.

"But I, Baby Jin Bao, have a feud with you Southern Border people! A feud, do you get it? Me not seeking revenge shows my magnanimity as a Spirit, but letting you enter my domain is absolutely impossible!"

"You!" Gu Changsheng pointed a finger at Jin Bao, speechless.

Rendered mute by Jin Bao, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but turn her head to look at her own evildoer, taking a long deep breath to suppress her restless emotions, she spoke with gritted teeth, "Evildoer, I didn’t want to stir up trouble in Smelting City originally! But trouble’s found me, what do I do?"

"..." Zhou Mu looked at his little woman, whose eyes reddened slightly from agitation, and his face, reminiscent of a Divine Residence, couldn’t help but show a trace of indulgence and helplessness.

"Evildoer, what do you want to say?" Gu Changsheng suppressed her anger with her good nature, and looking at her evildoer’s expression, she awkwardly learned to observe facial expressions and asked cautiously.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Mu asked, looking at Gu Changsheng, helpless.

"To do something not very harmonious." Gu Changsheng replied with absolute certainty.

Though she knew she was a patient, and knew she shouldn’t stir up trouble and worry her own evildoer, Gu Changsheng still felt that, honestly, soft approaches really aren’t her thing!

She still preferred the simple, rough, non-cooperation of non-violence methods!

That’s right, she’s just that kind of rough woman, what about it?

Suppressing one’s nature is shameful!

She, Gu Changsheng, is such a bright and fair person...
