Chapter 206 The Sinister World, Contradictions Exposed
Chapter 206 The Sinister World, Contradictions Exposed
Chu Mu was still muttering to himself when the surrounding environment underwent a drastic change.
They seemed to be in a small town, where people came and went without any cultivation.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be an illusion array or a small world. Gu Lingxiao put us here to torment us."
"To torment us? He..."
Chu Mu wanted to voice his speculation, but he thought better of it.
His speculation didn't have strong evidence to support it.
"With the clan leader and the elders present, Gu Lingxiao won't go too far. At most, he'll just torment us. If he dares to do something excessive, the elders won't spare him!"
Tai Xuanqing said coldly.
It was the first time she had been so angry within the clan.
If given the chance, she would definitely make Gu Lingxiao pay.
"For now, let's just live like this and find a way to sense our spiritual power again. I believe we can find a solution."
"Okay... grumble~ grumble~"
Tai Xuanqing nodded sharply.
But as her stomach growled, her sharp gaze gradually turned into embarrassment.
"Let's find something to eat first. He wants to use these means to wear down our will. But his plan is doomed to fail. We just need to persevere."
"Okay."
Tai Xuanqing nodded somewhat sheepishly.
Until they found a solution, they could only play house according to Gu Lingxiao's rules.
The feeling of hunger was not pleasant.
But soon, the two of them discovered a fatal problem.
No money.
With their cultivation sealed, they couldn't summon their storage space, let alone exchange valuable items for food.
"Buy or not, if you're not buying, then leave! Don't waste my time doing business."
"Well... the money we had on us was just stolen..."
"What's that got to do with me? I didn't steal it!"
Tai Xuanqing's embarrassment grew stronger on her face.
Being from the Tai Xuan God Clan, she had always lived a luxurious life, and eating was never about satisfying hunger.
If she really wanted to try something new, countless people below who wanted to please her would send things over in batches.
Chu Mu frowned.
Although he came from a humble background, he never lacked money to buy things.
He had long left behind the destitute life.
"Here's the deal, boss. We'll do some work for you, and you give us something to eat. How about that?"
"Hey, you two little gods, don't mess with me. I'm just a steamed bun seller. I don't need so many people. Do me a favor and don't bother me if you're not buying."
The two looked at each other and realized this approach wouldn't work.
They quickly found a restaurant where they were short-staffed.
So one of them became a waiter, and the other helped in the kitchen.
After the first day, the problem of food and accommodation was barely solved.
But how could Gu Lingxiao let them live so comfortably in the small world he created?
Just on the second day, Tai Xuanqing encountered a difficult customer - a fat and wealthy merchant.
"Why is the food taking so long? Go and hurry them up. Clumsy and slow, I don't know how you hired such people!"
"You've only been here for ten minutes. How can the food be ready?"
Tai Xuanqing muttered.
She knew her situation was precarious now, and she couldn't argue or conflict with others.
But just this mutter was heard by the merchant.
He slammed the table:
"What did you just say, you little girl!"
Tai Xuanqing's face turned icy cold.
Apart from Gu Lingxiao, this was the second person who had such a terrible attitude in front of her.
The shopkeeper on the side heard the commotion and quickly came over with a smile, apologizing.
"Sorry, sorry, she's new and doesn't know the rules."
"Not know the rules?! Haha, make her apologize to me!"
Tai Xuanqing couldn't hold back anymore. "Why should I?"
The wealthy merchant rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to take action. The two burly men behind him also took a step forward.
Tai Xuanqing was furious.
If her cultivation was even one in ten thousand, she could easily annihilate these mortals in front of her with a blink of an eye.
"Hurry up, apologize to the customer."
The shopkeeper glared at Tai Xuanqing.
Although he didn't know what had happened, on one side was a well-known wealthy merchant in town, while on the other side was Tai Xuanqing, who couldn't even afford a meal.
The shopkeeper knew which side to help.
"I won't apologize. He started complaining after only ten minutes. Who can serve all the dishes in ten minutes?"
A tiger fallen in Pingyang was bullied by a dog.
Tai Xuanqing could only explain patiently.
But how could the shopkeeper listen to her explanation?
"If you don't apologize, get out with your man!"
"Fine, we'll leave! Who cares?"
Tai Xuanqing turned to leave, but the wealthy merchant was not happy.
"You want to leave? Hit her!"
Tai Xuanqing had good fighting skills, but her body was too weak, not much different from an ordinary woman.
In the face of absolute strength, fighting skills were insignificant.
One of the burly men landed a heavy punch on Tai Xuanqing's face, sending her crashing into the wall. Her whole body felt like it had fallen apart, and blood flowed from her delicate and beautiful face.
Chu Mu, who was in the kitchen, heard the commotion and quickly ran out.
Seeing Tai Xuanqing in such a state, he lost his composure and rushed forward, wanting to fight these people to the death.
But...
If he could defeat them, what would be the point of Gu Lingxiao bringing them to this world?
Although these two were just mortals, they were tough.
Among mortals, their combat power was absolutely outstanding.
With the two of them working together, even with Chu Mu's current physical strength, he couldn't beat them.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Chu Mu glared angrily at the fat wealthy merchant and his two bodyguards. He faintly felt a trace of spiritual power within him.
Unfortunately, he had just sensed a little bit of spiritual power when it disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.
It was as if he was being toyed with.
The large fists landed on Chu Mu's face one after another, causing him to become dizzy.
Seeing Chu Mu's miserable appearance, Tai Xuanqing felt as if something in her heart had shattered.
"Get out!"
The two men who had been taught a lesson by the wealthy merchant were thrown out by the shopkeeper. He looked at them with disappointment and confusion in his eyes.
Their first job had come to an end.
But their hardships had only just begun.
No matter where they went or what they did, they would always encounter people who harbored ill intentions towards them.
Gu Lingxiao seemed to have exposed the worst side of this world to them, tormenting them. They had no means of survival, often going without a meal.
The conflicts between the two of them were also exposed during this time of getting along...
