While chatting with Luo Yulong, Gu Yang was tallying up the gains from this trip.
Two corpses at the Mana realm, together worth ten energy points.
Killing that Nether Sect disciple at the first level of the Mana Realm, he obtained ten energy points.
Seized a magical tool and a spiritual tool from him, together worth eight points of energy.
Lastly, Luo Yulong’s spiritual tool, worth ten points of energy.
Added up, that was thirty-eight points.
Indeed, “no sudden wealth, no riches; no night grass, no fat horse.”
Killing and looting felt like the true shortcut to accumulating wealth.
Gu Yang’s energy had reached fifty-four points, enough for thirteen simulations with some left over.
Thirteen simulations could take his power to a higher level.
If he could find the legendary Spirit Fire, breaking into the Mana realm might not be impossible.
Qi Province, during the Xia Dynasty, was the fief of King Qi.
Consequently, when Xi Huang’s identity was discovered, she was presented to the King Qi.
Perhaps it was this event that catapulted the Luo Family into prominence. Later, they pledged allegiance to the Three Sages Gate. Seizing the opportunity when the Xia Dynasty collapsed, they became one of the most affluent families today.
Located outside the city of Qi Province is Jade Luo Mountain, where Luo Yulong’s mansion stands.
“Brother Gu, please.”
Returning to his own territory, Luo Yulong managed to regain his confidence, returning to his aristocratic demeanor in front of Gu Yang, although there was a hint of pretension in his ingratiating manner.
Gu Yang looked at the mansion built upon the mountain veiled in mist, appearing like a mystical paradise.
The mansion seemed to have a history of several hundred years. The wear and tear could still be seen between the brick walls and the tiles.
The depth of this thousand-year-old world was truly extraordinary.
Suddenly, he noticed Xi Huang’s unusual expression, her lost soul-like demeanor. Her hand was ice cold when he grabbed it, he quickly sent a thread of True Essence into her.
Xi Huang’s body jolted as her consciousness returned. Wiping away the tears on her face, she clutched tightly onto Gu Yang’s clothes.
Luo Yulong, who was standing aside, noticed the duo’s reactions, confused.
Who is this woman? Why did she react like this upon arriving here?
Something wasn’t right. His heart on guard, he recalled how Gu Yang had forcefully made him invite them to the Luo Family. There must be something going on.
Luo Yulong’s mind was rapidly turning, yet he remained calm and collected on the surface, appearing like a gracious host, introducing the history of the mansion to them.
“This Jade Luo Mansion was built during the Xia Dynasty, and it has more than a thousand years of history. Look at that tree, it was planted when the mansion was first built, it’s over a thousand years old too.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yang immediately understood why Xi Huang was behaving so unusually.
She must have been here before.
A thousand years had passed since she woke up. The world had changed drastically. Upon seeing this familiar place, she must have been reminded of the past.
He said, “We’ve been on the road for so long, I’m a bit tired. Brother Luo, could you arrange a place for us to rest a bit?”
This request perfectly suited Luo Yulong. He called his housekeeper to arrange accommodations for Gu Yang and Xi Huang.
After bidding farewell to the peculiar pair, he returned to his courtyard and sat on an armchair, regaining the momentum fitting of someone in the Mana realm.
He ordered, “Summon Tiancheng.”
Luo Tiancheng, a member of his junior generation, currently in charge of intelligence within the Luo Family.
Luo Yulong still felt uneasy. He wanted to investigate the origins of the woman accompanying Gu Yang.
“Are you alright?”
In a quiet courtyard, after everyone else had left, Gu Yang asked.
Xi Huang stood by the courtyard wall, stroking the blue bricks gently and said sorrowfully, “This was where my mother and I used to live. It’s been a thousand years, and it’s almost exactly as I remember.”
So that’s how it was.
Gu Yang patted her shoulder, not knowing how to comfort her.
Xi Huang said quietly, “Father, let me be alone for a while, please.”
“Alright.”
Gu Yang entered the room and opened the system.
[Do you wish to use the Life Simulator? Each use consumes four cells of energy.]
“Yes.”
