Chongba said, "Can we not beat around the bush?"
Qin Shou straightforwardly replied, "The main issue is that I can't beat it, otherwise I'd also like to taste that thing and see if it needs a bit of cumin..."
Chongba: "..."
The Eight Trigrams Furnace asked, "So, are we leaving now or what?"
Qin Shou gestured dismissively, "Let's go. This guy doesn't seem to be cultivating his physical body, he's more likely to just swallow me whole instead of pounding me... Can't use it for practice, can't beat it, what's the point of fighting? Let's head out."
Eventually, the Eight Trigrams Furnace activated the Star Gate, and Qin Shou and the others dived in, setting off on their journey.
The following part of their journey was more tedious than Qin Shou had imagined. If the first two times they opened the Star Gate they could appear on a planet and look up at countless stars, then now, all they saw each time they arrived was barrenness.
