Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 557 - 270: Apologizing by Exposing Your Belly Is Common Sense (Part 3)

Director Gao decided to take a break from mourning and, along with the group who had worked late into the night, headed to a restaurant to host a small celebratory banquet.

The drinks had gone around three times, and the dishes had hit five flavors.

Director Gao, having enjoyed himself to the fullest, suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, asking Lei Huo next to him, "Why hasn’t that Wanderer from the Realm of Reason arrived yet?"

Lei Huo, looking bewildered, opened his phone and said, "He hasn’t contacted me either. Could it be that the Wanderer had an urgent matter and bypassed Wanghai City at the last minute?"

Director Gao asked softly, "Could it be that he’s deliberately targeting our Order Sect?"

Lei Huo whispered back, "It’s hard to say."

At the table, Wu Chang was only focused on picking his food, holding back the urge to join the conversation. He really wanted to tell the two that before the Emotion Art Gallery was cleaned up, they should go inside and have a look. Maybe they could analyze the composition of that Wanderer.

During the celebratory banquet, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Director Gao pushed Wu Chang to the forefront, detailing the process of how he conquered the Erosion Dungeon and praising him generously.

Combining the intelligence sent back by Zhao Yan, he once again lavishly praised Wu Chang’s meticulousness.

Throughout the meal, Wu Chang was undoubtedly the center of attention.

Even with Wu Chang’s thick skin, he was embarrassed by the praise.

Enough with the compliments, Director Gao, if you go on, I’ll start to think you have some ulterior motives towards me.

After the celebratory banquet, Wu Chang returned home and, upon entering the Inner World, saw Erin waiting for him.

She wasn’t waiting while watching a show, but was sitting on the sofa, full of thoughts, waiting especially for him.

Wu Chang shook his head and asked, "Still blaming yourself?"

Erin said, "I feel like I held you back. You worked so hard to help me obtain the Earthly Divine Kingdom, but I couldn’t even manage to hold onto it."

"If that person really escapes and the matter of the Earthly Divine Kingdom gets out, it could bring you trouble."

"I’m thinking, should I force myself to be more ruthless, like..."

Before Erin could finish her sentence, Wu Chang covered her mouth with his hand, cutting off her spell.

In this situation, it would have been more appropriate to use his mouth to stop her, but after experiencing Erin’s powerful hammer in the Light and Shadow Technique, he restrained himself.

"Everyone has their own thoughts, their own weaknesses, which makes us unique individuals. You don’t have to force yourself to change; just be yourself."

"There are bright spots and there are flaws, there are strengths and there are weaknesses, that is a real person. I want you as Erin by my side, not turning into a cold-blooded, ruthless enforcer."

"I’ll take care of the dirty work."

Erin, in a period of emotional outburst, was moved by Wu Chang’s words, her eyes filled with emotion.

Wu Chang cleared his throat and seized the opportunity to say, "If you really feel guilty, there are ways to apologize."

Erin asked, "What way?"

Wu Chang’s eyes wandered, avoiding eye contact with Erin, and said, "Around here, it’s common knowledge that you show your belly as an apology."

"Huh?"

Erin’s face turned slightly red. After hesitating for a moment, she lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing her well-toned abs without excess fat.

Wu Chang didn’t expect Erin to actually comply. If he had known, he might have said something more.

He reached out and touched Erin’s abdomen, saying, "Next, I’ll test the sincerity of your apology."

The answer was very sincere. Wu Chang squeezed a few times and even pinched the ticklish flesh on her side, but Erin never refused.

Unfortunately, the sincerity didn’t go further.

When Wu Chang attempted to unlock more areas, Erin took out the Light of Steadfastness.

The You Feipeng incident served as a reminder for Wu Chang. In front of a player on the Abyss Second Layer, the still unstable Earthly Divine Kingdom still had flaws.

So he stayed in Wanghai City for three more days until the status of the "Unstable Core of the Divine Kingdom" completely disappeared, and the Earthly Divine Kingdom stabilized, merging with Wanghai City.

Now, not to mention You Feipeng, but even a deity with divinity higher than Erin wouldn’t see that Wanghai City was shrouded by the Earthly Divine Kingdom.

After doing all this, Wu Chang glanced at the calendar. It was time to head to the Underground Shelter and retrieve the Dawn Hammer.
