Chapter 517: Too late

With Shannu’s explanations, the big rooster gradually understood what had happened.

“Tsk tsk tsk, that guy Bloodcloak normally looks so unimpressive, but it turns out he got quite a good disciple huh” the big rooster laughed.

“Please help Gu Qing Shan” Shannu asked.

“Alright, it’s a small issue, and I still owe Iron Fist Barry a favor”

“However, I probably won’t be able to help boy Gu too much later on——- he’ll definitely be kept tightly in his wife’s grasp”

The big rooster laughed at Gu Qing Shan a bit and used his sharp beak to peck at the barrier.

Bonk—–

His attack triggered the barrier as a bloody-glow erupted from it, flowing all the way to the sky.

The big rooster screamed in pain before being knocked backwards over 10 meters.

The barrier was intact.

“…” Shannu.

“…” the big rooster.

“Peh, I don’t believe it!” the big rooster stood up, both embarrassed and angry.

He calmed down then used his full power to run straight at the barrier and peck it.

While pecking, he was also loudly cawing and beating the barrier with his wings.

Intense sounds of impact echoed throughout the entire town.

“Bah-gawk!”

Bonk!

“Bah-gawk!”

Bonk!

“Bah-gawk! Bah-gawk!”

Bonk!

Shannu covered her ears as she went back inside the barrier.

“Gongzi, what is he saying?” Shannu whispered, asking him.

“You don’t want to know” Gu Qing Shan replied.

After a few more minutes, the big rooster finally succeeded!

The blood-colored barrier was now broken to pieces of crimson crystals, clattering on the ground.

These beautiful fragments quickly turned back into runes as they disappeared in the air.

Gu Qing Shan stood up from his bed, quickly leaving the room

“I’m very thankful” he sincerely said, “if I had any other choice, I wouldn’t have bothered you this way, sir”

“This is nothing, just a small issue—— I’ll have you know, against a bookworm like Bloodcloak, it’s really easy for me to do this much” the big rooster said.

He was hiding half of its charred wing behind his back, making sure that Shannu and Gu Qing Shan didn’t notice it.

Gu Qing Shan still smelled the cooked meat, felt a bit hungry without knowing why and told the rooster: “When I return, I’ll treat you to dinner, but now I’m in a hurry, I need to answer the call of the Bramble Birds now”

Saying so, he took out the golden room card, about to leave this place and go to Aboul Hotel.

“What? The call of the Bramble Birds?”

The big rooster pulled him back.

“Yes, is there a problem?” Gu Qing Shan asked confusedly.

“You’re too late, the Light of Dawn Triste had just finished the call, everyone who came to answer it already entered her wings to help with her issues”

Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

What?

I’m already too late?”

“How unfortunate, you’ve already missed this time’s call” the big rooster commented.

Gu Qing Shan calmly asked: “That can’t be right, I remember that the call was supposed to go on for 7 days, why did it stop now?”

“Because there are simply too many who answered the call, Triste feels that there are enough people already. Any more would be more likely to cause her more problems than to resolve them, so she stopped”

“…” Gu Qing Shan.

That’s an issue.

If I can’t answer the call of the Bramble Birds, the new War God function won’t unlock.

And without answering the call, I won’t be able to meet up with Su Xue Er.

Su Xue Er will be going through all sorts of danger right now, how could I just sit by and watch?

I absolutely need to go.

Gu Qing Shan thought briefly and asked: “Brother chicken—–”

“Call me Mr. Chicken”

“Mr. Chicken, is there anyway to contact the Light of Dawn Triste? I want to personally request her to let me enter her world”

The big rooster seemed a bit troubled.

“I’m not really that close to her”

“Why not?”

“The Bramble Birds’ etiquettes are too annoying, and I’ve always been impatient with the way they act”

“Aren’t there any other ways?”

“…You’re a member of the Club, my relations with Barry are also quite good, and you are quite a brilliant one. Right, let me think about it for a bit”

The big rooster fell into thought.

He paced back and forth around the hallway.

Gu Qing Shan stood on the side, not disturbing him.

A while later, the big rooster suddenly stopped.

He quickly turned around and looked at Gu Qing Shan: “I know one person who can help introduce you to Triste, but whether or not you’ll be able to convince them to help you will have to depend on your own abilities”

“Who is it?”

“You’ve met them”

“I did?”

“Right, we actually just had dinner together last night—— I suggest you bring a decent gift to meet her, because in the end, she’s a very distinguished personage”

…

A minute later.

Outside of Infini-worlds Town, within a forest.

Gu Qing Shan and the big rooster were standing in front of a towering large tree.

The big rooster hesitated for a bit and spoke: “Gu boy, you should know, knocking on the door of any female so late at night is considered rude, not to mention a person of her stature, unless you have a really good reason to”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Please be assured, I’ve prepared very carefully”

“Really? Then it’s good”

The big rooster sighed of relief and went up to knock on the tree.

An impatient female voice came: “What is it? I’m busy”

“That is—– Gu boy said he had a gift for you” the big rooster replied as he instinctively hid behind Gu Qing Shan.

He then tapped Gu Qing Shan’s back, signaling for him to speak.

“A gift?” the female voice was raised slightly.

Gu Qing Shan cleared his throat and spoke: “That’s right, esteemed lady, after meeting you today, a thought had been plaguing me to no end”

“What thought?”

“I had a feeling. That a few precious items that I’ve kept for a very long time would only be suited for someone of your peerless looks. After several hours of consideration, I’ve decided to present them to you as a gift”

“A gift…”

The female voice mused briefly, no longer impatient, instead a bit curious.

“Come in”

Following that, a door appeared in the middle of the large tree.

The door opened by itself as a spiral wooden stairway appeared in front of Gu Qing Shan.

“Let’s go, your gift had better satisfy her, otherwise I’m going to run first” the big rooster lowered his voice and whispered.

“Hm, don’t worry”

Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes and said.

There was no other way right now, so taking a bit of a risk was only natural.

He followed the spiral stairs up to the very top of the tree.

The wooden woman was lying on a swing chair, enjoying the starry night sky.

“How strange, some eternal shining stars are getting a bit dimmed, that is very rare”

The wooden woman muttered.

Her eyes showed loss and annoyance.

Only when Gu Qing Shan and the big rooster finally came close did she shifted her attention to them.

“Boy from the Club, coming at such late hours for a gift, surely you have something to ask of me?” the wooden woman asked straight-forwardly.

“Esteemed lady, let’s not talk about business first. I just want to say—— if my gift isn’t able to satisfy you, please excuse my rude behavior of bothering you during these hours” Gu Qing Shan said.

Hearing him, the wooden woman lightly nodded: “Very good, seems like you are a polite young one who knows his etiquette”

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag to take out a box made completely out of Immortal Jade.

A letter flapped its wings, wanting to get out of the Inventory Bag together with the Immortal Jade box.

Huh, where did this letter come from?

Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised.

But since the occasion wasn’t right, Gu Qing Shan didn’t have time to pay attention to the letter. So he shoved it back in.

He placed the Immortal Jade box onto the table.

This was a treasure box carved from top-grade Immortal Jade, decorated with life-like animated patterns.

As soon as he took it out, the box started to give off its excess spirit energy, quickly filling the interior of the three.

In the cultivation world, this type of Immortal Jade was a treasure so rare that you couldn’t even obtain it if you had the money.

But Gu Qing Shan was using it as a gift box.

The wooden woman squinted a bit unexpectedly.

This elegant packaging seems quite tasteful.

Looking at the box, the wooden woman was finally a bit intrigued.

“What is inside?”

She wasn’t in a hurry to look at it, instead smiled and asked.

It seems she enjoyed the process of guessing what a present was.

But Gu Qing Shan didn’t have such time to waste, so he directly told her: “A pair of Pink Phantom Wings from the Pixie Kingdom collection Limited Edition from 1000 years ago, as well as a limited Pink Diamond Bikini from that same year, of which only 10 was ever sold”

The wooden woman’s smile quickly froze.

She opened the box.

The two pink items were neatly arranged inside the box.

The pink wings exuded a soft mesmerizing glow, as thin as a veil.

The pink bikini flew out by itself, hanging in the air.

It immediately saw the wooden woman.

“Esteemed, elegant, alluring and beautiful lady, I am a La Montreux limited edition collector’s Pink Diamond bikini, pleased to meet you” the pink bikini spoke politely.

The wooden woman stared intently at the bikini.

This really was the style from 1000 years ago.

But the recent trend was retro style.

After 1000 years, within the current 900 million World Layers, it must be very rare for someone with both of these limited items, and so well-preserved.

No!

There should be no such person at all!

The wooden woman lightly clutched her chest, asking a bit hesitantly: “I’m sure that both of you should have an identification number”

“Indeed, a small symbol of status”

The bikini showed her a series of unique characters.

The pink wings also flew out by itself, showing another series of unique characters.

The wooden woman quickly checked the characters and smiled brightly.

“No one can imitate a Pixie’s unique marking, it seems the two of you really are their garments”

The wooden woman then remembered something and asked: “Pixie garments are exceptionally delicate, if it goes through any sort of probing it might be ruined, so I have a question I must ask you both”

“Please do, milady” the pink wings replied.

The wooden woman asked: “I have a habit of paying attention to whether or not others had worn the garments I do, even if they are precious fashion collector’s items——– so have you only been collected and kept, or were you already worn?”

“That is——”

The pink wings wanted to say something, but the pink bikini already lightly nudged it.

The bikini spoke up first: “Excuse my rudeness for asking, but what would you do to those dirty, lowly garments that were already worn by others?”

“You are precious collector’s items, so of course I wouldn’t do anything to you. At most I would only keep you stashed away without wearing, but I will kill the one who wore you before”

Time froze at that moment.

Gu Qing Shan almost wanted to wipe the cold sweat off his head.

Didn’t I already use both of them?

“Now, please tell me your answers” the wooden woman spoke.

“Please don’t worry, no one has ever used us before”

“In fact, we deeply crave the touch of skin because we’ve never experience what kind of feeling it is before”

The bikini and wings both lied.
