Chapter 357: 357. I want to be your fellow traveler

Cloud Sea Mountains, as the name suggests, there’s a vast range of mountains within the sea of clouds.

Although the Heavenly Sword Sect controls the entire Cloud Sea Mountains, they’re really only occupying a few high peaks, while the rest are mostly desolate and unvisited areas.

The place Gou Cheng arranged to meet Fang Zhou is atop a secluded mountain, its peak covered with rugged rocks, making even wild beasts find it hard to climb.

Fang Zhou arrived precisely on time and immediately spotted Gou Cheng posturing on the highest rock at the mountain’s summit.

Gou Cheng, dressed in white, with his long hair gently swaying in the wind, had angelic beauty and demeanor akin to a celestial being.

It must be said, this most handsome charm of Heavenly Sword Sect does live up to his reputation. Had Fang Zhou not been even more handsome, he might have felt inferior in Gou Cheng’s presence.

Gou Cheng got to the meeting spot first and occupied the highest rock, ensuring that wherever Fang Zhou stood, he would always be looking up at Gou Cheng.

This is a blatant display of power and provocation, this pale-face indeed has ill intentions.

Fang Zhou flew directly to Gou Cheng and hovered in a position half a body higher, looking down at him.

Gou Cheng: “…”

He sensed Fang Zhou’s gaze was quite unfriendly, making him tense as if he had unknowingly offended Fang Zhou.

Gou Cheng had to brace himself, forcing a gentle smile: “Mr. Fang, you’re here.”

Obviously, if not me, then would it be a ghost instead?

Fang Zhou replied, his tone unfriendly: “You called me alone to this place, what do you want to tell me?”

He was already prepared in his mind, if Gou Cheng dared say, “I want to compete fairly,” he’d immediately kick this pale-face down the mountain, beat him up into a swollen pig’s head first.

If Gou Cheng dared utter, “I like you,” wanting to join Fang Zhou in being a happy troublemaker.

Then Fang Zhou would execute Plan B, castrate the pale-face, turning him into a woman directly.

Gou Cheng swallowed hard, he felt Fang Zhou’s gaze growing increasingly malicious, as if staring at some grave enemy of the class.

Cold sweat slightly appeared on his forehead, Gou Cheng wanted to leave immediately, afraid Fang Zhou might kill him to silence him.

But he came today with the resolve to confront Fang Zhou, he couldn’t give up halfway.

Gou Cheng took a deep breath, trying to make his expression and tone appear serious: “Mr. Fang, what’s your view on the world?”

Fang Zhou responded succinctly: “With my eyes.”

Gou Cheng: “…”

Why aren’t you answering in a conventional way?!

Gou Cheng was momentarily choked up, his prepared topic rendered useless.

He could only skip this philosophical question, moving directly to the second topic: “Mr. Fang, do you think it’s possible for a woman to marry two husbands at the same time?”

Fang Zhou immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

Well, you pale-face, I thought you wanted to compete fairly, turns out you want us to be two male servants for one wife?

You’re asking me if it’s possible? I’ll curse you out instead!!

Veins appeared on Fang Zhou’s forehead as he coldly spoke to Gou Cheng: “I’ll give you a chance to rephrase your statement, what exactly do you mean?”

Gou Cheng, intimidated by Fang Zhou’s presence, panicked, forgetting his preparation.

He was a bit afraid but still firmly stated: “I want to find allies, Mr. Fang, you’re the ally I’ve chosen!”

Fang Zhou almost coughed blood in rage, you actually want to be my ally?

The heck with your damned kinship!

Fang Zhou was almost instantly enraged, this pale-face indeed is audacious, to openly declare wanting to be his ally.

This is even worse than any fair competition.

Fang Zhou resisted being tied to other men all the way until now, not expecting to encounter someone who would dare address him like this after advancing to Innate level.

Fang Zhou admired Gou Cheng’s courage, but it’s meaningless, today he’s going to make Gou Cheng understand what price an alliance with him entails.

Gou Cheng couldn’t understand why his words provoked such a strong reaction from Fang Zhou, could he be a supporter of the current situation? It certainly doesn’t look that way!

Gou Cheng was about to clarify, only to see Fang Zhou pull out a gourd aimed at him.

Startled, before he could speak, Fang Zhou attacked with an Illusion Technique, trapping Gou Cheng within it.

Fang Zhou promptly absorbed Gou Cheng into the gourd, then found a secluded spot, entering the gourd himself.

Inside the gourd space, Fang Zhou found the unconscious, sleeping Gou Cheng.

He didn’t immediately awaken Gou Cheng, but began rummaging through the garbage mountain until he found a stick as thick as an arm.

Fang Zhou carved the top of the stick into a mushroom shape, then approached Gou Cheng and woke him up.

“Mmph… Where is this?”

Gou Cheng, bewildered, uttered the classic line everyone says upon entering for the first time.

Then he saw Fang Zhou standing before him with the stick, especially the mushroom-shaped top, instinctively tensing up.

“Mr. Fang, what is this place, and what do you intend to do?”

Gou Cheng asked in panic, his previously gentle demeanor replaced by the shivering of a little rabbit facing a big bad wolf.

Fang Zhou grinned: “Gou Cheng, everyone must pay the due price for his actions and words, do you understand the meaning of this?”

Gou Cheng didn’t quite understand, but Fang Zhou’s “kind” smile reminded him of the word “Hell.”

He immediately said: “Mr. Fang, there might be some misunderstanding between us!”

“No misunderstanding, I comprehend the meaning you’re trying to convey to me.”

Fang Zhou, wielding the mushroom-shaped stick, slowly circled around to Gou Cheng’s back: “I admire your courage, but not anyone can be my allies, you have to endure the test first.”

“Stop, Mr. Fang, you definitely misunderstand!!”

Gou Cheng screamed in terror, he never expected himself to face such a horrifying ordeal one day.

“No!!??”

Gou Cheng’s scream abruptly ceased halfway, the anticipated pain never arrived.

Not that he was born to endure the mushroom-shaped stick, but because Fang Zhou hadn’t really jabbed in, merely frightening him.

Gou Cheng found himself able to move freely, falling to the ground from mid-air.

He immediately distanced himself from Fang Zhou, especially the stick in his hand.

Fang Zhou pointed the stick at Gou Cheng: “I dislike people who speak half-truths, since both of us are charming lads, I’ll give you another chance to organize your words.”

Without daring to conceal anything, Gou Cheng swiftly spilled the truth: “Mr. Fang, I want to invite you to join me in changing this male inferiority female superiority trend.”
