The next second, a deep, dark blue wormhole, seemingly connecting to another space-time, slowly unfolded before him without warning!
"?!"
This surreal scene caused Yukino Yukinoshita, who was massaging him, to freeze abruptly, her icy blue eyes filled with shock and worry.
"where are you going?"
"Going to another world to save two... disobedient little foxes." Gu Chuan stood up, turned back to her, and gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, he took a step forward and, without hesitation, stepped into the spinning wormhole filled with an unknown atmosphere.
Yukino instinctively reached out, trying to grab him, but only grasped at empty air.
She stood there, staring blankly at the slowly closing spatial rift, her heart filled with indescribable worry. She could only silently pray for the boy who always created miracles.
"……be safe."
at the same time.
Another world, filled with an ancient and lush forest.
A dilapidated carriage was speeding madly along the rugged forest path. (For more exciting and unforgettable novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)
Inside the carriage cage, two adorable red-haired girls, who looked no more than seven or eight years old and were exquisitely beautiful, were embracing each other tightly. Their bodies were covered with yellow paper bearing golden runes, completely sealing their powerful demonic energy. At this moment, they looked no different from ordinary human girls.
"Sister...I'm scared..." The younger girl, Tu Shan Rongrong, buried her face in her sister's arms, her voice trembling with tears.
"Don't be afraid, Rongrong." Tu Shan Honghong hugged her younger sister tightly, her usually bright and lively eyes now filled with stubbornness and anger. "I will definitely protect you!"
Outside the carriage, an old Taoist priest in a tattered robe was vigorously waving a whip while cursing.
"Hurry! Hurry up! We have to get to the town ahead before dark! This time we've captured a fox demon from Tushan, and it's one in a million with the Red Thread Fairy physique! We'll definitely get a good price for it!"
"Yes, yes, Master!" The young Taoist priest, also dressed in a Taoist robe, gripped the reins tightly and replied nervously.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A startled hare, appearing out of nowhere, suddenly darted past the horse's hooves!
"Whoa—!!!"
The horse pulling the carriage let out a shrill neigh, reared up abruptly, and flung the two Taoist priests away! The out-of-control carriage, dragging the cage behind (Wang Hao), crashed straight into a huge rock by the roadside!
"what--!"
The old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest both let out terrified screams at the same time!
Honghong and Rongrong, who were in the cage, were so frightened that they closed their eyes!
At this critical moment——
An invisible, incomprehensible, gentle yet powerful force, without warning, enveloped the entire chaotic scene.
The heavy cage carrying Honghong and Rongrong, which was about to crash into the mountain rocks, and the little Taoist priest who had been flung into the air, were lifted up gently by an unseen hand as if they were weightless feathers, and then slowly and safely fell back to the ground.
The whole world was deathly silent.
The old and young Taoist priests, who had survived the ordeal, stared dumbfounded at the unbelievable scene before them, their minds blank.
Honghong and Rongrong, inside the cage, opened their eyes in bewilderment, completely unaware of what had just happened.
The Arrival of 108, the Judgment, and the Pact with Tushan
In the clearing in the woods, there was a deathly silence.
Whether it was the old Taoist priest who had survived the ordeal, the young Taoist priest who was still in shock, or the Tu Shan sisters who looked at each other blankly in the cage, everyone's eyes were focused on the ripples in space that slowly rotated and eventually stabilized.
A handsome young man with black hair and golden eyes, dressed in modern casual clothes, walked out slowly from the "door" filled with an aura of the unknown and mystery with a calm expression.
He didn't even glance at the two terrified Taoist priests, his gaze falling directly on the cage made of century-old black iron and covered with forbidden talismans.
"Is it you?" he asked, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
Tu Shan Honghong, trapped in the cage, felt a pang of anxiety and instinctively pulled her younger sister even closer. Was it an enemy? Or... the person in the chat group who said they would come to rescue her?
"Crack——!"
The answer she received was a crisp sound, like rotten wood breaking.
The seemingly indestructible iron cage was suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, twisting, deforming, and shattering in an instant, turning into a pile of iron dust!
At the same moment, the forbidden spells affixed to their bodies also ignited and turned to ashes.
"!!!"
The long-lost, powerful demonic energy, like a rushing river, instantly returned to the bodies of the Tushan sisters!
"A monster!"
The young Taoist priest, who had originally hoped to rely on his master's power, lost all hope after witnessing this divine skill. His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, his crotch quickly becoming soaked.
After a brief moment of shock, the old Taoist priest's eyes flashed with extreme greed and fear. Without a word, he turned around, pulled out an earthen-yellow talisman from his robes, slapped it onto his leg, and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing for his life into the depths of the forest without looking back!
"Want to go?"
Gu Chuan didn't even turn his head; he simply flicked his finger lightly in the direction Gu Chuan had fled.
An invisible, extremely compressed air cannon shot through the air at a speed exceeding the speed of sound!
"puff--!"
In the distance, the old Taoist priest, who was fleeing for his life, suddenly froze. Without warning, a huge, gaping hole exploded in his chest! He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he fell straight down, his life extinguished in an instant.
After casually killing an enemy he considered no different from an ant, Gu Chuan slowly turned around and turned his gaze to the little Taoist priest who was terrified, pale-faced, and trembling like a leaf.
"Why did you become a soldier?" Gu Chuan asked calmly.
"I...I..." The young Taoist priest was so frightened that he couldn't speak coherently, tears and snot streaming down his face. "I...my mother said...if I became a Taoist priest...I could...I could have food to eat..."
A glint flashed in Gu Chuan's golden eyes. He could clearly "see" that the young Taoist priest harbored no real malice towards demons. In fact, just last night, he had secretly tried to unlock the cage and release the two poor little fox demons out of pity, but his master discovered it and gave him a severe beating with a whip.
"get out."
Gu Chuan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Don't let me see you again in the future."
"Yes! Yes! Thank you for sparing my life, Immortal! Thank you for sparing my life, Immortal!"
The young Taoist priest felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He scrambled and crawled away, disappearing into the dense forest in the opposite direction from his master.
After dealing with all of this, Gu Chuan turned his gaze back to the two red-haired girls who were still in a state of shock and vigilance.
He crouched down, trying to keep his gaze level with theirs, and gave them a gentle smile.
"You are safe now."
Tu Shan Honghong looked at the incredibly powerful yet surprisingly gentle young man before her, her heart filled with doubt. She took her sister's hand and mustered her courage to ask, "Who...who are you? Why did you save us?"
“My name is Gu Chuan, you can call me the Observer.” Gu Chuan explained with a smile, “As for that little Taoist priest just now… the reason I let him go is because he is actually… not as bad as you all imagine.”
He briefly recounted what he had "seen"—the young Taoist priest's attempt to secretly let them go the previous night.
Honghong and Rongrong were stunned after hearing this.
"So..." Gu Chuan patted their little heads and said in an educational tone, "From now on, when you judge people, don't just look at their appearance or their status to determine whether they are good or bad. Do you understand?"
The two sisters nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Alright, it's not safe here. I'll take you back to Tushan."
As Gu Chuan spoke, he stood up and gently lifted the two sisters with a soft telekinetic force.
"Hold on tight."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards Tushan! To prevent the two little ones from being harmed by high-speed flight, Gu Chuan specially placed a thin vector shield around them to isolate them from the strong winds.
Soon, the misty, spiritually imbued sacred mountain—Tushan—came into view.
Just as the three were about to land in front of the Tushan Mountain gate, a clear and crisp shout filled with anxiety and anger suddenly came from below!
"Where did this stinky Taoist priest come from! Let go of my sister!"
A silver-haired little girl with pigtails, wearing a blue short skirt, and looking even smaller than Honghong, rushed out from the mountain gate with a furious expression! Her tiny fist was covered with a terrifying, icy blue demonic energy, and without saying a word, she slammed it fiercely towards Gu Chuan!
It's Tu Shan Ya Ya!
"Ya Ya! No!" Hong Hong exclaimed.
However, it was too late.
Facing a punch powerful enough to shatter stone, Gu Chuan didn't even lift his eyelids. He simply maintained his flying posture.
Tu Shan Ya Ya's punch, filled with anger and demonic power, suddenly stopped less than a centimeter away from Gu Chuan! It was as if it had struck an invisible, absolutely insurmountable wall, and all its force was easily and completely neutralized.
"elder sister!"
Tu Shan Ya Ya's attack failed, and only then did she see Hong Hong and Rong Rong being protected by Gu Chuan. She was both surprised and delighted.
"Ya Ya, you've misunderstood! It was this big brother who saved us!" Hong Hong quickly flew out of Gu Chuan's shield and landed next to her sister, explaining the whole story in a fast-paced manner.
Upon learning the truth, Tu Shan Ya Ya blushed deeply with embarrassment. After fidgeting for a while, she, along with Hong Hong and Rong Rong, solemnly bowed deeply to Gu Chuan.
"I'm sorry! Thank you for saving my sister!"
"It's nothing." Gu Chuan waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to worry about it.
"Um... Big brother, you saved us, we must repay you properly! Please come visit our Tushan!" Honghong sincerely extended the invitation.
"No need," Gu Chuan declined with a smile. "It would be inconvenient for me, a human, to enter your fox demon territory. Besides, I have other things to do."
As he spoke, he prepared to turn and leave.
"If you need anything in the future, just contact me from that place."
He left behind a profound statement, then his figure flashed and transformed into a streak of light, gracefully disappearing into the horizon.
The three Tu Shan sisters were left behind, staring blankly in the direction he had left, unable to recover for a long time.
On the way back to Tushan, Ya Ya asked curiously, "Sister, where is the place that big brother mentioned?"
Honghong was about to explain the magical "Cross-Dimensional Movie Screening" when she suddenly felt an invisible force, a law from the very origin of the world, instantly lock her throat! She could clearly sense that once she revealed the truth about the "chat group," something extremely terrifying would happen!
A chill ran through her as she instantly understood what was happening.
“That…” Her eyes darted around, and she quickly changed her words, “It’s a very mysterious and powerful organization! That big brother is a member of that organization! It’s them who have been silently protecting those of us who might encounter misfortune!”
"Wow! That's amazing!" Ya Ya and Rong Rong's eyes lit up.
Tu Shan Honghong, after successfully "fooling" her sisters, secretly clenched her fists.
The observer... Gu Chuan...
One day, I will become strong enough!
So powerful that it no longer needs anyone's protection!
Powerful enough to... repay your kindness today!
109 A Gentle Home and the Privileges of the Administrator
As the ripples of that deep blue space completely closed behind him, Gu Chuan returned to the familiar activity room filled with the scent of sunshine.
"You're back."
Almost at the same moment he appeared, Yukino Yukinoshita's clear, cold voice, trembling with a hint of relief, came from behind him.
Gu Chuan turned around and saw Yukino standing less than three steps away from him. Her blue eyes, which were always as calm as an ice lake, were now filled with undisguised worry and concern. The handkerchief she was clutching tightly in her hand was crumpled from the force of her grip.
"Yes, I'm back." Gu Chuan gave her a reassuring smile. "Look, you're unharmed."
“…That’s good.” Yukino breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense, beautiful shoulder lines finally relaxed.
She walked up to Gu Chuan, raised her exquisitely doll-like face, looked at him earnestly, and said softly, "Gu Chuan-jun, in the future... if there are any more dangerous situations like this, could... could I share some of the burden with you?"
Her eyes held an unprecedented firmness.
After experiencing the despair of a zombie-infested school and witnessing Gu Chuan's godlike arrival time and time again, her heart, which had been bound by the shackles of "Yukinoshita" for over a decade, finally made up her mind. She no longer wanted to passively accept protection as before; she wanted to... become someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Looking at the stubbornness and sincerity in the girl's eyes, Gu Chuan felt a warmth in his heart.
He half-jokingly reached out and gently stroked the tip of her pert nose, teasing her in a relaxed tone, "Let you share the burden? How? When you get back, will you massage my shoulders and legs, and prepare hot meals and bathwater for me? Wouldn't that make you my personal maid?"
He thought that, given Yukino's proud personality, she would definitely retaliate with a sharp tongue without hesitation upon hearing such an "offensive" joke.
However, Yukino's reaction was completely unexpected.
