Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2634: Chapter 2629: The Eight Evil Women (5)

No problem, Fu Qian thought, Su Gao’s reputation in the worldly society is probably not very good.

The scene is bizarre, but I must admit there’s something intriguing in this ambiguity.

The three people beside me, each undoubtedly have traits slightly at odds with their usual selves, a bit different from their reality.

But their core characteristics are preserved, resulting in a conversation impossible in real life, offering the audience a novel experience.

As for Yuan Shan’s evaluation of Su Gao, though it sounds a bit sarcastic, Fu Qian knows that it’s true.

According to the information I’ve gathered, after the early Old City incident, Su Gao rapidly advanced in strength but also officially left his former security post, proactively hunting down criminals.

Whether in the philosophy of the Night Watchman or an ordinary person’s life, he undoubtedly embodies an angelic guardian.

But for those transcendents wandering in the gray areas, more than one shivers at the mention of his name.

His work efficiency is extremely high and tireless, without any other hobbies besides chopping off the heads of lawbreakers, even after becoming a demigod, he didn’t rest on his laurels...

Maybe today’s achievements include other elements, but he undoubtedly emerged from a sea of corpses and blood.

So was Yuan Shan hinting that Wen Li best not ask too many questions? That the person beside you is difficult to deal with?

Fu Qian deduced quickly that the probability is high.

Chief Yuan may often appear carefree, but it’s more a choice of lifestyle.

As for the survival status of the whole world and even transcendents, she clearly sees it all, but remains far from optimistic.

Casually erasing a potential hint of bloodshed, it’s quite something she would do.

"Is it really like this..."

And Miss Wen doesn’t seem to be the type driven by mere impulse or rivalry.

On one hand, she got the hint, and on the other, towards Su Gao’s transcendental life portrayed therein, feels both wary and subtly lamentful.

"Adults and children treated equally."

Yuan Shan continued to affirm Su Gao’s illustrious deeds, even deliberately glancing at the sword.

A blood-drinking weapon easily tends to acquire some legendary characteristics—creeeak!

Indeed, safety stems from vigilance and accidents from complacency. In the chilling atmosphere, this moment of distraction indeed brought a jarring screech of brakes.

Fu Qian’s head almost hit Yuan Shan’s seat, luckily Wen Li caught him in time.

...

After all, she is an experienced driver; a moment of distraction shouldn’t cause such chaos.

It’s clear that all passengers understood Yuan Shan’s unprofessional driving had a reason.

Not to mention, as everyone turned to look ahead, the cause became self-evident—a huge chasm.

In the blink of an eye, the car’s front wheels were nearly suspended in air, and they were already severed.

Among the swirling mist is a massive abyss, deep and bottomless.

If Yuan Shan hadn’t reacted a moment later, the car would have fallen in, a real cliffhanger.

...Is it getting a bit too classic?

And for Fu Qian, this scene evokes even more reactions, having made some analogies just before.

"How could this happen?"

As the one taking the lead, Wen Li raised a challenge after seeing the scene before them.

Clearly, for her, this situation shouldn’t occur.

"I’m not sure, this situation is obviously unusual."

Yuan Shan’s reply was straightforward, although it seemed like an empty phrase, it at least revealed that her understanding of the area was not shallow.

While speaking, she was already dismounting to inspect the situation, truly embodying the diligent driver standard.

"It seems there’s no way out... I just looked around, this chasm stretches on forever."

Unfortunately, moments later, her returning news wasn’t encouraging.

They’ve all been around long enough not to naïvely assume a different direction would easily resolve the issue, hence feeling that the place has indeed become a dead end.

"But it doesn’t seem very wide, can we just jump across?"

After all, part of the team, maybe not overly enthusiastic, but not entirely uncooperative.

Faced with a brief silence, Fu Qian, finally made his first comment, pointing forward, stressing not to overstate the difficulty.

And he wasn’t speaking nonsensically; looking around might reveal no end in sight, but further ahead, the opposite bank isn’t so far away. One can clearly see the cutoff and other buildings.

For mortals, it might be a vast gorge, but for flesh-strengthened transcendents, it’s not such an exaggerated distance.

Even expert driver Yuan Shan could lift the car and jump across easily.

"Are you joking?"

And indeed, Fu Qian’s opinion instantly brought the attention of the three companions.

Their attitude was not quite right, almost unanimously furrowing their brows.

"Is there a problem?"

This reaction clearly indicated hidden factors, Fu Qian immediately faced Wen Li’s opening, not hesitant to ask.

"It’s impossible for you not to know the peculiarity of this place, such as only being able to leave through normal transportation methods."

It’s Yuan Shan who answered him, gesturing to the other side in conversation.

"We’re not headed in that direction."

...

Ah, that explains it.

Concise, Yuan Shan’s answer instantly clarified many doubts.

For instance, why there’s no one here, why she insisted on getting a car, and why Su Gao wanted a ride...

Regardless of whether it’s a dream, this place seemingly possesses certain abstract qualities.

But with this realization comes the fact that the difficulties can’t be ignored anymore, the chasm before them indeed becomes a kind of vast gorge.

"There is someone."

At this moment, Su Gao, who hadn’t voiced any opinion on the sudden situation, suddenly spoke up, making a shocking claim.

"You saw someone?"

Wen Li’s reaction was instinctively vigilant, staring around without much belief.

"No, but there should be someone."

Su Gao shook his head, his statement turning the plot as if crying wolf.

"...So he’s not joking, and now you’re the one joking?"

At that moment, even Wen Li’s emotions were tough to manage.

"No way, it’s me joking."

And then, someone indeed answered her, though it wasn’t Su Gao, but rather another unfamiliar yet familiar voice.

...

So even revered seniors like you have shown up?

The unforeseen change left no doubt, everyone was shocked.

As the source of the voice was watched, Fu Qian was undoubtedly the most astonished.

Dressed in white with chestnut hair, isn’t this none other than the Native Council’s remnant, Professor Nepheli?

Most importantly, this person should no longer be considered a remnant but deceased, further plunging the reality of this location.

"If possible, I’d like to hitch a ride."

And as she moved closer step by step, Nepheli, with a gentle smile, continued to make her proposal.
