Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 679 - 363: Shattered World_2

Those who were peering in from the door mostly felt uneasy because of the unexpected situation.

In a broader sense, it's a lack of confidence, instability, and a flawed mindset.

...

"Stop!" The guard soldier about to swing his blade to kill the giant panda instinctively halted upon hearing the voice.

He turned to see his captain approaching with two young nobles.

Ji Ziling, upon seeing the wounded giant panda, hurried over to inspect its injuries, taking out a pill glowing with golden spirit radiance and placing it into the panda's mouth.

The wounds on the giant panda healed at a visibly rapid pace, the scabs fell off, and its fur emitted a spiritual glow.

Ji Wuchang stood behind her, his eye twitching slightly, thinking how this little girl fed such a precious pill to a mere beast.

Looking at the panda emitting a spiritual glow with its fur, Ji Wuchang estimated that this beast would soon awaken the power within its bloodline.

The guard responsible for injuring the panda stood nearby with his blade, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The aura of these two young nobles was clearly extraordinary and even his boss treated them with utmost respect, leaving him worried if he'd be punished for hurting the black and white beast.

Ji Wuchang glanced at the guard captain and said, "Assign a few people to escort this beast to the palace."

As he spoke, he tossed out a Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant.

The guard captain's face changed drastically upon receiving the jade pendant and was about to bow when Ji Wuchang signaled him not to.

He had no choice but to compose himself, carefully storing the jade pendant, looking at the team member who injured the panda, and said, "You and I will escort this beast to the palace, while the rest continue the task of clearing out the beasts at Celestial Scenery Mountain."

"Yes." The others behind him responded in unison.

Ji Wuchang and Ji Ziling left Celestial Scenery Mountain, while the guard captain and another member cautiously carried the giant panda down.

The giant panda turned over, stuck out its butt, and deliberately rubbed against the face of the guard behind it, poof~

The guard's face turned dark, and when he turned, he saw the panda looking at him with a cheeky grin.

Feeling a lightness behind him and his support a bit unstable, the captain puzzledly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing, just slipped." The guard adjusted his expression and slightly steadying the support, said somewhat aggrievedly.

The captain, upon hearing it, thought, "Slipped? You, at the sixth level of the Core Formation Realm as a Martial Cultivator, telling me you slipped and couldn't hold the frame?"

But he didn't voice it, just thinking to himself.

He figured his team member might have been intimidated by the status of those two young nobles, hence why he seemed unstable.

To be honest, when he first saw the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant, his heart was in turmoil, but he's calmed down now.

...

Thud thud thud~ Footsteps sounded, and those in the villa watched as the guard soldiers walked in.

The guard soldier came up, paused for a moment when he saw the guards standing outside the door, then turned and walked toward the sides of the villa.

After a while, the guard walked in and said to Zhou Hong, "Young master, we can go now."

Zhou Hong nodded, glancing around at those in the hall, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, my apologies for being inconsiderate, leading you through such an unexpected event."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up, "It's alright," "Little Prince, you're too serious"…

"As an apology, I've prepared some small gifts for everyone." Zhou Hong gestured, and the guards behind him stepped forward to distribute fist-sized boxes to the crowd.

Someone quietly opened a box and was surprised to find a storage ring inside.

Although storage rings are rare for the crowd, acquiring one isn't that difficult.

Moreover, what Zhou Hong prepared as small gifts weren't focused on the storage rings, but the items inside.

Inside were 100,000 spirit stones, three ninth-grade spirit grasses, and a few other items.

For everyone, 100,000 spirit stones aren't exactly a small sum, but it's not enough to excite them either.

However, ninth-grade spirit grass is something even money can't easily buy, as its value exceeds 100,000 spirit stones.

Speculating that Zhou Hong's gifts were prepared on a whim, the attendees wouldn't believe it; he surely had them ready long ago.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the incident was orchestrated by him.

Zhou Hong was merely using the incident as an excuse for compensation, gifting the items. If an incident hadn't happened, he'd certainly have had other reasons.

Lu Yu also received a small box, but he didn't open it on the spot; instead, he tucked it into his backpack.

Once the gifts were distributed, Zhou Hong took the jade box from the guard's hands and walked toward Lu Yu.

Lu Yu, seeing him approach, was somewhat surprised, thinking he had already lost.

After all, it was the sibling duo who persisted until the end.

Zhou Hong seemed to have noticed Lu Yu's thoughts and explained, "Those two have left the Celestial Scenery Mountain's range. Brother Lu, congratulations on your victory."

Lu Yu hurriedly stood up, accepted the jade box from Zhou Hong, and felt a mix of surprise and happiness in his heart.

When he entered the villa, he no longer thought he could obtain the Nine Heavens and Earth, but unexpectedly, it fell into his hands.

After hearing Zhou Hong's explanation, Lu Yu finally understood why he hadn't detected the siblings' movements after the beast upheaval; it turns out they had left Celestial Scenery Mountain.

Lu Yu hadn't had a chance to speak when Zhou Hong regretfully said, "It's a pity we didn't get to see Brother Lu's true strength."

The crowd didn't mind much about Lu Yu receiving the final reward.

The only regret was not witnessing Lu Yu's true strength, which left them somewhat dissatisfied.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to accept it, as they couldn't force Lu Yu.
