The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

After leaving the quartermaster's office, Wu You returned, passing through the familiar teleportation portal. The dark red sky of the Dark Domain was replaced by a patch of azure, and golden sunlight poured down from above, reflecting two bright spots of light on the lenses of his sunglasses.

Since there are no experience points to gain for the time being, there's no need to stay in the deep dark realm. Let's take this opportunity to address the needs of the God of Beasts.

Back in the real world, the buildings of the Jiuli base glowed with a faint warm hue in the morning light. Wu You was about to fly towards the gate when he paused, as if remembering something.

His figure hovered in mid-air, and the silver eyes behind his sunglasses shifted slightly.

Go buy it yourself?

inappropriate.

Then he took out his phone from his trench coat pocket and called Wang Qi.

A moment later, the call was connected.

"Hey, Lao Wu."

Without any preamble, Wu You asked directly, "Where are you now?"

"Just got back from the deep dark realm, I'm on Third Street now, what's up?" Wang Qi's voice carried a hint of curiosity, probably because he rarely received calls from Wu You.

Are you free now?

Without any hesitation, Wang Qi answered decisively: "Yes, it's guaranteed."

Then his voice suddenly became excited, and his speech quickened: "Old Wu, you have no idea, last night some tough guys cleared out the entire danger zone near the stronghold!"

"There are practically no zombies around the base anymore, so we've all been given a break!"

At the same time, Gongsun Baizhan's voice could be faintly heard on the phone: "I wonder which big shot it is."

"I'm so grateful to him."

Hearing these words, Wu You's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. He just said into the phone, "Then do me a favor."

Upon hearing Wu You's words, Wang Qi's expression turned serious, and his voice became earnest. He raised his hand, signaling Gongsun Baizhan beside him to be quiet: "Go on."

"Go to the city next door and buy me some clothes."

Wang Qi, whose expression had been serious, was suddenly taken aback: "Huh?"

The "ah" sound was drawn out for a long time, carrying a hint of confusion.

Wu You added, "Women's clothing, for children around 1.2 meters tall."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Wu You continued speaking:

"I want twenty different styles."

"Hmm... three sets of each style, please."

On the other end of the phone, Wang Qi was looking at him with a confused expression: "???"

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You have a child?"

Wang Qi silenced Wu Yougan with just one sentence.

"..."

"...bought for someone else."

Wu You paused for a moment, then said, "Just buy it and deliver it to me."

"As for the compensation—"

"Two talisman swords."

The moment Wang Qi heard the name "Fu Jian" on the other end of the phone, all his confusion and questions vanished, and his eyes lit up: "What? Fu Jian?"

"Is it really true, Godfather!"

Wu You: "True."

In short, it was decisive and efficient.

Upon hearing Wu You's affirmative reply, Wang Qi immediately replied quickly, "Buying children's clothes, right!"

"I'm leaving now!"

Then, Wang Qi's voice came through the phone again, addressing Gongsun Baizhan: "Little Sun, you can go play somewhere else for now. I have something extremely important to do!"

"I'm leaving now!"

After he finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the phone, followed by the whooshing sound of wind.

Wu You smiled and shook his head.

Asking Wang Qi for help would save me time, and I could also find a reason to send him some talisman swords.

Although Wang Qi seems thick-skinned and accepts all benefits without hesitation, he calls his godfather more fluently than anyone else.

But Wu You knew in his heart that Wang Qi was actually a very measured and principled person.

If Wang Qi were truly a greedy person, they could never have become friends.

Wang Qi had already accepted the two talisman swords he had given him, which was almost his limit.

If you were to give him the talisman sword for free, he most likely wouldn't accept it.

So Wu You also wanted to take this opportunity to give him two talisman swords.

As one of his few friends, Wu You still hoped that Wang Qi could live a peaceful and healthy life.

After all, this world is too dangerous. Corpse species, dark realms, gods—no one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.

Even with the Sword Manual at his disposal, Wu You couldn't say for sure that he would survive to the end.

Moreover, given my current appearance, it's understandable that I'm in the Jiuli base.

But things are different once you enter the city. You'll likely attract the attention of ordinary people, which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It would be better to let Wang Qi make the trip; that would kill two birds with one stone.

Just then, Wang Qi's voice came through the phone, and the roar of the helicopter rotors could already be heard in the background: "Old Wu, I'm on the helicopter!"

"Wait for me to come back! I'm hanging up now!"

His voice came out intermittently amidst the noise of the propellers.

Then, the call was disconnected.

The receiver emitted a busy tone, "beep-beep-beep."

Wu You smiled again, his eyebrows relaxing slightly.

He shoved his phone back into his trench coat pocket, his silver eyes behind his sunglasses gazing at the distant horizon of the Jiuli base.

"It seems I should spend more time with them in the future." This thought flashed through his mind.

Wu You has discovered that as he absorbs more and more divinity, his emotional fluctuations are becoming less and less.

The things that once made him happy, sad, angry, or moved now cause him less and less ripples in his heart.

His perspective on the world became increasingly abstract and structured: things were no longer good or bad, but advantageous or disadvantageous; people were no longer liked or disliked, but useful or useless.

This change is gradually eroding him.

This erosion was so powerful that even Ming Jianxin couldn't stop it.

The Clear Sword Heart can only prevent sudden disturbances to the mind, thus allowing Wu You to maintain his original mind. However, this erosion is slowly changing Wu You's thoughts and his way of thinking.

No matter how Wu You's thoughts and ways of thinking change, they are essentially his own, and Tongming Sword Heart will naturally not interfere.

Normally, Wu You's mind is filled with thoughts of cultivation, experience points, becoming stronger, and so on; rationality takes the lead.

He didn't think he had become a cold-blooded person; it was just that those "superfluous" emotions were being squeezed out by his divinity little by little.

But just now, in the short time it took to make a phone call with Wang Qi, he had already laughed twice and been speechless once.

Those emotional fluctuations that rarely occur under normal circumstances naturally emerged during her conversation with Wang Qi. They didn't need to be deliberately provoked or actively recalled; they just arose naturally.

At the same time, he felt much more relaxed, and most of the worries deep in his heart were dispelled in a few casual chats with his friends.

Feeling the morning breeze and the sun shining brightly on him, Wu You took a deep breath of the fresh air, which carried a hint of grass and trees.

A gentle breeze ruffled his long white hair, sunlight cast a soft golden hue on the lenses of his sunglasses, and his black trench coat fluttered gently in the air.

In his silver eyes, the starlight that had been rapidly shifting seemed to slow down.

"Perhaps I should also take some time to enjoy some leisurely and relaxing moments?"

"Hmm... Shall we call Wang Qi and the others?"

Wu You couldn't help but think this.
