GDK 506: The Invincible Might of Little Skeleton
Needless to say, Sophie was no match for Han Shuo. She rushed over angrily, but Han Shuo simply stared at her with a smile across his face, he did not fight back nor resist, and just endured Sophie’s pounding against his chest, playing along by making a few painful cries while laughing.
When Sophie’s tender hands collided with his body, Han Shuo didn’t feel the slightest pain at all, but instead, felt very pleased. Sophie might have seemed ferocious rushing over, but she was no more than a cub when she actually struck Han Shuo. As Han Shuo was tougher than what was considered normal, he naturally didn’t take even the slightest damage.
After hitting him for a long while, Sophie finally realized that her attempts at hurting him had all been futile. Looking at Han Shuo’s detestable face, she didn’t know how to exact her fury on him. She could only squint her eyes at him so much.
“Alright, alright!” Han Shuo comforted her with a few words, and continued smiling. “I’m only doing this so that your father would be at ease. It is only so that he will leave for Brettel City without any misgivings. After you father and daughter arrive at Brettel City, you can clear things up with him. By then, there will be nothing he can do even if he disapproves.”
After unleashing her punitive forces on Han Shuo, Sophie’s originally troubled emotions were vented out. After giving it a thought, Sophie couldn’t help but remark, “My family is quite extensive. It will be rather difficult to move them all to Brettel City without drawing any attention. But luckily Kasi Empire is in chaos these days thanks to you. As a sacred knight, my father has absolute authority in the family. I doubt there will be a problem as long as he spends enough time on it.”
“Hmm, you’d better evacuate the people as soon as possible while Braque has no time to care about you. I will communicate with the people on my side. There shouldn’t be any issues,” said Han Shuo
“Oh, right, what actually happened that day? Why did the Shrine of Ice issue an Ice Goddess Decree all of a sudden, gathering bishops of all regions in Kasi Empire to return to the frozen mountains in the snowland?” Sophie couldn’t help but inquire Han Shuo with her brow furrowed when she recalled the abnormalities within the Shrine of Ice in recent days.
The death of Ice Celestial Corey must have been covered up by the Shrine of Ice. Otherwise, it would have an immeasurable impact on both the Shrine of Ice and Kasi Empire. The reason why Tiana issued an Ice Goddess Decree, recalling bishops from all regions to gather at the main peak, was obviously to concentrate their power.
“Nothing much. Probably to deal with me properly,” Han Shuo answered casually.
Sophie was a citizen of Kasi Empire after all and ought to hold a favorable opinion of the Shrine of Ice. If she were to find out that Han Shuo had hounded Ice Celestial Corey, one of the top leaders of the Shrine of Ice, to his death, who knew how she would react!
“Oh, alright.” Sophie stared at Han Shuo with a somewhat complex expression and sighed, saying, “At the end of the day, I am a citizen of Kasi Empire. Perhaps, I may never be able to return here after I leave this time. Nevertheless, I hope that you do not harm the mundane citizens of Kasi Empire.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t lay my hands on them. Alright, I’ll go make some arrangements for you to leave Kasi Empire today. If all goes as planned, the next time we meet, we’ll be in Brettel City.”
“We are leaving today? So soon?” Sophie suddenly felt a little reluctant, and her tone grew somewhat downcast.
“Yes, but I’ll be making arrangements before you depart. With my instructions, it will be easier for your family to leave Kasi Empire without a hitch. Besides, Brettel City and the seven grand duchies are currently at war. I need to get the latest updates on that as well,” said Han Shuo.
Parting was always a little sentimental, in order to prevent Sophie’s emotions from becoming even more gloomy, Han Shuo said giggly, “Alright, alright, I’ll be taking a leave first. I reckon that it won’t be long before we meet again in Brettel City. Look, send my regards to your father. Tell him that Brettel City will welcome you all with arms wide open.”
Before Sophie could say anything, Han Shuo dashed away. He became a trace of faint light and disappeared under Sophie’s watchful gaze.
After leaving Sophie, Han Shuo travelled to a Dark Mantle operation base in Kasi Empire, and had an exchange with the person in charge. Through them, Han Shuo passed on his messages to the Dark Mantle operation base in Brettel City, instructing them to get in touch with Sulo and to assist his family in their relocation to Brettel City.
The operation base of Dark Mantle in Ciro City had been in service for many years, and it had accumulated very secure, well-planned escape routes through the years. Han Shuo believed that the journey of Sulo’s family would be even smoother with their assistance. Given the chaotic state that Kasi Empire was in these days, the power possessed by that old fox Sulo, as well as the assistance of the Dark Mantle, Han Shuo was confident that their relocation would run without a hitch.
The six-horned tribal king of the Soul Race was still lingering around in Angel Empire. Han Shuo yet again concealed his consciousness as he headed towards Lancelot Empire. He arrived at the Dark Forest with a moderate traveling speed, intending to traverse the Dark Forest and return to the Cemetery of Death.
Halfway through his journey, Han Shuo suddenly sensed the joy of Little Skeleton from the netherworld. Han Shuo, who had just entered the Dark Forest from Cesar City, was overjoyed at the good news.
