Damn it!

Wang GuiYing didn't say anything as a response to Xin and simply kept his eyes on the door as he whistled and waited for Li Ling and Zhihao to come out.

However, although he refused to say anything, Xin had already noticed the man's ears turning red, and hence, he got the answer that he was looking for.

With a smirk, Xin took a step forward and closed off the distance between him and Wang GuiYing.

Wang GuiYing's breath hitched as he felt the man leaning in closer to his ear and whispering, "My body is more to your style, isn't it?"

Wang GuiYing gulped, his heart racing so fast that he felt as if it could jump out of his chest at any given moment now.

Xin was only looking to tease the man and he would be lying if he said that he wasn't having fun. Normally, with his real identity as Zhou Xinyi, he would never have the courage to do something like this simply because he was always afraid of breaking the close friendship that he had created with this man.

However, now that he had a chance to approach Wang GuiYing and chase after him with a brand new identity, he couldn't help but feel a bit bold and want to do all those things that he would otherwise never even think of doing.

Before Wang GuiYing could say anything as a response, the door opened up once again, and out came Li Ling, this time he was fully dressed.

"Where's mastermo?" Wang GuiYing asked a bit hurriedly.

"He told us to head down first. He'll join us later."

Wang GuiYing immediately nodded his head and didn't question any further.

"Then let's go!"

"Do you even know where to go?"

Wang GuiYing gulped as he heard this question and paused for a second.

"You don't know, do you?" Li Ling asked, not knowing whether he was supposed to laugh or not.

"We can just ask the celestial dragon spirit!" Wang GuiYing exclaimed.

"And how are you going to contact it?"

"By chanting that spell you narrated."

Li Ling smiled as he heard this response and revealed, "It was fake."

"Eh?"

"I just thought you might get a boost if you said it. I made it all up."

"..." Wang GuiYing blinked as he looked at the man, wondering if it would be acceptable to punch him.

"In the end, it worked, but not because of the spell."

"Then why?"

"It's because you felt that you were in danger and desperately needed the celestial dragon's help."

Wang GuiYing frowned as he heard this and thought about it for a few seconds before he asked, "Is there no other way to call its spirit?"

Li Ling shook his head as he confirmed it.

"Then what do we-" Wang GuiYing's words were suddenly cut off when Li Ling suddenly took out a gun from his inventory and pointed it at Wang GuiYing's head with no hesitation.

Xin also looked to be shocked as he saw this reaction but he quickly understood the situation and knew what Li Ling was trying to do so he didn't bother interfering.

Wang GuiYing stumbled a step back and Li Ling lowered the gun, pointing at the man's feet as he shot.

Although the bullet didn't hit him, it still managed to scare the sh*t out of Wang GuiYing who had fallen on his butt from the shock.

"Why don't you try calling the celestial dragon now?" Li Ling asked with a smirk as he repositioned the gun, pointing it directly at Wang GuiYing's head.

Wang GuiYing gulped as he heard this and when he looked at Li Ling's unhesitant eyes, he couldn't help but feel that the man wasn't just bluffing but was really ready to shoot.

Wang GuiYing closed his eyes shut and his heart started thumping loudly against his chest in fear. He didn't chant anything this time but he did instinctually pray for the celestial dragon to come and save him.

He expected to hear the sound of a gunshot at any given moment now but Li Ling didn't shoot him and instead, the only sound that he heard was the intimidating voice of the celestial dragon that chuckled.

"You dare call me here for this?" The dragon asked, sounding offended but at the same time, not offended enough to be angry.

Wang GuiYing gulped as he opened his eyes and saw Li Ling putting his gun down.

With a sigh of relief, Wang GuiYing spoke, "I need your help."

"Again?" The celestial dragon asked and Wang GuiYing could almost imagine the creature frowning as he asked this.

"Yes, Again." Wang GuiYing nodded his head as he confirmed, "We are looking for the other artifacts made from your parts."

"And what do I get in return for helping you?"

"..." Wang GuiYing couldn't help but suddenly feel that the celestial dragon seemed a bit different from last night.

He now sounded... A bit wicked...?

"You get to be reunited with another part of you."

"But even if I gather all the pieces, my life would not be returned to me. I am already dead and I would remain to be so."

Wang GuiYing gulped as he heard this.

"Well, wouldn't you be at peace if you find all the artifacts? Maybe your soul could enter heaven or the cycle of reincarnation." Wang GuiYing spoke, feeling a little unsure about it.

"At peace?" The celestial dragon repeated and suddenly broke out laughing, "I am the God of destruction! I have crushed lives beneath my feet. Do you think I can ever attain peace...?! Do you think heaven would open its doors for me? Do you think the heavens above would let me enter the cycle of reincarnation? Pfft- I was right about you. You are quite naive and amusing!"

Wang GuiYing didn't know if that latter sentence was a compliment or not, but he was still pretty sure that this celestial dragon was treating him as a joke.

"You never know unless you try," Wang GuiYing replied, this time, sounding a bit more determined, "You said you are a God, didn't you? How can a God give up so easily? Do you really want to live like this, neither alive nor dead?"

The celestial dragon was suddenly silent.

Wang GuiYing smirked as he grasped the creature's weak point.

"Be honest with me. You don't want that, do you? You don't want to just exist, you want to live. You want to return to the glory and you want to continue being the indestructible force that both heaven and earth feared." Wang GuiYing continued speaking, encouraging and inciting the celestial dragon to help.

"A mere mortal dares to say such things?" The celestial dragon questioned, his voice sounding rather emotionless, neither angry nor amused, "You say that it's for me but in the end, you'll reap the benefits? Are you trying to trick me?"

Wang GuiYing wasn't fazed by this response, on the other hand, he looked to be quite satisfied with it.

His smile deepened as he spoke, "Even if I'm reaping the benefits, you still find the offer interesting, don't you? You say that it's a trap but you still want to fall in, don't you?"

The celestial dragon laughed as he heard this and replied, "That's right, I want to fall in, but not because your trap is interesting. I'll agree because you, the person who created such a trap and tried to fool a celestial dragon is quite interesting."

Wang GuiYing chuckled softly, feeling a little proud of himself.

"But since you have piqued my curiosity, I don't want to tell you where the other artifacts are."

Wang GuiYing stopped smiling.

"I want to see whether you can find them for yourself," The celestial dragon continued with a chuckle, "But of course, I'll give you a hint. If you can understand the hint then you'll find the artifacts."

Wang GuiYing gulped as he heard this but didn't say anything as a response.

"A sword that gleams under the moon, wielded by a spirit that knows no mercy, yesterday it was owned by one, today, it is owned by another."

Wang GuiYing frowned as he heard this hint that didn't quite give any details on the whereabouts of the sword.

"Is that all you're going to say?" Wang GuiYing questioned, feeling unhappy, "Did you say you'd help me?"

The celestial dragon laughed at his words, "I am the God of destruction. I don't help people, I give them puzzles and derive enjoyment from seeing them struggle to find the answer."

Wang GuiYing's eyebrows furrowed together and he looked as if he was ready to curse at the celestial dragon.

However, before Wang GuiYing could say anything as a response, the celestial dragon left his mind and went back into the ring.

"Damn it!" Wang GuiYing cursed.

"What did it say?" Li Ling asked as he looked down at the man who was still sitting on the floor.

Wang GuiYing lifted his head and looked at Li Ling in disbelief as he asked, "Why do you create such characters in your game...?"

"..."
