Chapter 585: Chapter 318: Why haven’t you left yet? (Disdainful face)_2

"Wow, you invite me over and don’t even offer a cup of tea, and now I have to watch the door for you," Gu Shanhai felt that the Holy Saint really didn’t treat him as an outsider. After all, this place stored plenty of hidden and precious tools, equipment, and so on. Yet, he just up and left like that.

It might also be because he simply found these things meaningless.

If we’re talking about getting over the crisis of the Great Ruin, then there’s a high chance that the Saints would be reascending to godhood, so these items would indeed become nothing more than possessions external to them, and Gu Shanhai was welcome to them.

If they failed and the world ended, and everyone died together, then these things would be even more meaningless. Therefore, to a Saint, wealth was nothing but a fleeting cloud.

This also showed that gods seemingly didn’t need resources, not even faith.

The Divine Relics in the land of adventure needed faith because they needed to increase the weight of the world and maintain themselves, similar to needing solar power to function after being disconnected from electricity. The existence of gods was more like a rule, a tangible unification with the world.

Even if they ascended to godhood again, there would be no need to recover the Divine Relics; they could just leave the entire adventurer system intact.

As for his past life, Gu Shanhai wasn’t clear. When he came to this world, it was already several thousand years later in the Adventure King’s world; the crisis of the Great Ruin had long been crossed, and he had no idea how it was crossed. He didn’t even know there was such a crisis, and there was no whisper of it on the forums. Perhaps someone had triggered the world’s main storyline and completed it quietly, or perhaps no one had triggered it at all.

Gu Shanhai wasn’t a true protagonist. How could he possibly encounter everything and be privy to insider information?

In his past life, at this point, he was just beginning to rise, barely reaching the first tier of players, never having completed a world main storyline. How could he possibly know such secrets?

It wasn’t until he had accumulated a great depth of experience over ten thousand years that he reached the rank of a top god.

"Yo~" Little White signaled to Gu Shanhai; it had just seen a plant that seemed like it might taste pretty good if used in hotpot, so it wanted Gu Shanhai to plant it inside his body to cultivate it into a Spirit Plant for a shared hotpot meal later that night.

"Can you be serious for once? How can you just rummage through stuff when you’re in someone else’s place..." Gu Shanhai tweaked Little White.

"Yo." Little White signaled that it was just a deer, not a child, and it was not a big deal.

"You’re how old now? Can’t you act with a bit of dignity? Besides, that plant looks tender but is very bitter and tastes awful," Gu Shanhai reminded.

Little White expressed disbelief, and while no one was around, it carefully nibbled a little bite the size of a pinky finger from the leaf and chewed it in its mouth.

In that instant, a vast bitterness exploded on its taste buds. It wanted to spit it out immediately, but Gu Shanhai, with quick reflexes, pressed down on Little White’s mouth.

"Yo~ Yo~" Little White made muffled noises implying I might not be a human, but you’re a real dog!

In the end, it still swallowed it down, and the bitter taste lingered on Little White’s tongue, which could not be removed even by drinking copious amounts of water. It could only suck on a sweet pill to alleviate the bitterness.

"Told you not to eat it, but you wouldn’t believe me. Always thinking about stuffing your face," Gu Shanhai chortled with schadenfreude.

"Yo!" Little White made a gloomy noise, indicating that it wanted toxin immunity.

"..." Gu Shanhai was speechless, thinking to himself Little White never learns: "Haven’t you ever thought that some tonics also taste like this? Besides, toxin immunity can’t mask the awful taste."

At that, Little White didn’t make another sound, pondering who knows what.

"Hey, I just realized something. Little White, you don’t seem to have a mating season, do you?" Gu Shanhai finally noticed this; even though Little White had been with him for so many years, it never showed such behavior.

Little White looked dismissively at Gu Shanhai, indicating that it was a mythical creature; how could it not control its own instincts? It would only ensure the passing on of its bloodline during times of life-threatening danger in the wild. Now, following Gu Shanhai, it had gained immortality. What was the point of having offspring when it depended on Gu Shanhai for sustenance?

"Should I be thanking you for not burdening me with a little Little White to join you in freeloading?" Gu Shanhai also realized Little White’s pragmatism. It had no grand dreams and just wanted to freeload off its master.

"Yo!" Little White indicated there was no need for thanks; it was just doing what it should.

Gu Shanhai was somewhat helpless about this; Little White seemed to have been raised a little askew by him.

Half an hour later, the Holy Saint returned, seeing Gu Shanhai and Little White teasing each other, he wasn’t too surprised, but he did say, "Dusk Saint, why haven’t you left yet?"

"Ah, this..." Gu Shanhai didn’t quite know what to say at that moment. To say you are straightforward, you are indeed straightforward, but to say you are tactful, asking when you would leave without a direct request was already quite tactful among the Saints.

"Fine, I’ll leave right now, do you despise me that much?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"Not despise, it’s just that your presence affects my work efficiency," the Holy Saint said bluntly.

Luckily, he added, "Once the great crisis is over, you can even live here if you want."

"Okay, I’ll find another place..."

"Dusk Saint, I suggest you don’t bother the other Saints. If you really have nowhere to go, I can give you a location." The Holy Saint blocked Gu Shanhai’s idea of going elsewhere, meaning if you have nothing to do, don’t make trouble, stay where it’s cool; if you can’t find a place, I’ll give you a cool spot.

"Fine... okay," Gu Shanhai agreed.

He couldn’t solve the great crisis anyway, he had already resigned himself to his fate, so he just wanted to find a quiet place to research his Spirit Plants.

Afterward, the Holy Saint gave Gu Shanhai a set of coordinates, and then sat down to process official duties with an expressionless face.

Anyone with slightly thinner skin would feel awkward, but Gu Shanhai wasn’t embarrassed at all. Instead, he stared at the Holy Saint for ten minutes before finally leaving in a huff.

"Little White, have you felt that you’ve gained weight recently?"

Coming out of the Five Elements Great Escape, Gu Shanhai asked, since Little White had always been in the dynamic space of the Mother-child Grass, he hadn’t noticed much.

This time, as he teleported with him, Gu Shanhai had the illusion of carrying a main battle tank, although the actual weight must be heavier than a main battle tank, since it was just a feeling.

"Yo!" Little White proudly admitted to being heavier.

"Hisss~ then your charges must be even more terrifying now," Gu Shanhai said, sucking in a breath of cold air.

Little White hadn’t charged in a long while, but that didn’t mean it had lost this ability; it was simply becoming more skilled through constant training.

"Yo." Little White suggested to Gu Shanhai that they could give it a try, as it hadn’t practiced for real.

"No thanks, I think charging is quite good for escaping," Gu Shanhai didn’t care much for the damage of Little White’s charges; he found the ability to escape more practical.

As a mount, its combat ability was just a bonus; the main thing was to carry Gu Shanhai around.

Then, Gu Shanhai turned his attention to the location the Holy Saint had given him, which was a huge palace. Aside from being uninhabited, the facilities were very comprehensive.

Obviously, this place must have been the base of some large adventuring group that had been abandoned.

With the place being large and devoid of people, it suited Gu Shanhai well, and being a fellow Saint, the Holy Saint wouldn’t arrange a leaky clay hut for him.

"Little White, how about... you clean up?" Gu Shanhai tentatively asked.

"Yo!" Little White suggested that Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the two dullards, come out and do it since they were idle anyway.

"You can’t just keep exploiting those two, can you..." Gu Shanhai complained but didn’t insist, eventually having Azure Dragon and White Tiger come out to clean. In terms of cleaning capabilities, they were indeed better than Little White, at least they did it regularly.
