Chapter 486: Qin Shi Huang
Chapter 486: Qin Shi Huang
"Asuka?"
But upon seeing that woman, Gou Wen subconsciously thought of the High School Girl following their group. Although right now he couldn't see the woman opposite's appearance clearly at all, only able to see a rough silhouette obscured by black hair, he still felt the person before him looked somewhat similar to Asuka Karasawa...
Mm, at least they looked like they were of the same race. Gou Wen didn't know either; apart from Xuan Can, he had a bit of face blindness towards other women.
"What the heck, what is he saying?"
"Seems like a name, Boss, is this your name?"
"No, my name is Ying Zheng."
"Really? Wasn't Boss still called Hongzhong a few days ago? Saying finding a few more could gather... what was it... a flush or something..."
"Oh, I used a rename card and forgot to tell you guys."
That female voice sounded unrestrained and confident, like a shooting star in the night sky cutting across the dim skyline. Even though Gou Wen was on the verge of death at this moment, his gradually fading consciousness became slightly clearer because of the other party's words.
Gou Wen's medical skills were naturally exquisite, but as the saying goes, a doctor cannot treat himself. He was basically completely ignorant of his current situation. He could only feel his life force seemingly being continuously sucked away by an existence akin to a black hole. That terrifying black hole came from nowhere, only making him feel fear sprout in his heart.Am I... going to die?
Gou Wen thought thusly.
"...I don't understand, Boss, your mouth is full of jingles, it's truly too hard to understand."
"Elephant-Man Species, she's teasing you, you fool."
"Ah? Boss, really?"
In the distance at this moment, those few human figures of varying sizes were still continuously approaching. Among them, that tall figure swaying an elephant trunk with an honest-sounding voice spoke again. While looking around, they approached here. It was exactly within the gradually shrinking distance that Gou Wen finally saw somewhat clearly their specific number and rough appearances.
It turned out to be five people, probably three females and two males.
The two males were the previously honest-sounding Demi-Human, seeming to be an Elephant-Man Species, a race with great power on Dragon Tail Island; the other one hadn't spoken at all, but Gou Wen vaguely saw a pair of pointed ears on the other party's head, appearing to be a Wolfman Race.
Then came the remaining females.
A fluffy Demi-human Race who walked Carefree and Casual, seeming to be a Lion-kin; while the last one floated in mid-air, half-illusory and half-solid, making everyone's words practically pop out from their own minds. And on the Dragon Continent, there was only one Demi-human Race capable of doing such a thing, and that was the Brain Demon Race.
As for the last human...
That human was roughly less than 1.7 meters tall, dressed in rags, with long and messy hair that looked like it hadn't been trimmed in a long time. Although she appeared so short among the several Demi-human Races, she stood among those seemingly Completely Unrelated Demi-human Races, appearing so at ease.
That was a bizarre human.
While placing a hand over her eyebrows sizing up the surroundings, that human woman walked towards the direction of Gou Wen, who was taking in little air and letting out even less on the ground. Exactly at this time, Gou Wen vaguely saw an extremely apparent bizarre scar on the other party's raised arm, looking in shape like a Bare Fangs and Brandish Claws crab.
This mark, Gou Wen guessed, was in all probability the method used by the Demi-human Race tribes here to mark slaves, for example the previously mentioned Elephant-Man Species and Snake-Man Species tribes.
Then, the identity of this human woman before him was Obvious At A Glance.
"Yo, this guy seems to still be alive. The guy fighting him just now was clearly so terrifying, you truly have great fortune and a tough life..."
Seeing Gou Wen below still panting, that woman immediately said this somewhat novelly. Immediately after, she squatted on the ground, picked up a barely usable branch nearby, and poked at Gou Wen's body. One moment poking his long ears, the next poking the drooping tail covered in wounds behind him, seeming extremely curious about his structure.
"Wow, what is this, a whale's tail? So magical, soft and squishy. East Wind, South Wind, wonder what it tastes like roasted, sss ha sss ha..."
East Wind...
What is that?
The names of this group of Demi-humans?
"Call me Liruika, stop calling me that weird name you gave me... South Wind. What the hell is this thing, also came from the sky?"
Hearing this, the Brain Demon Race behind that bizarre human woman suddenly sighed. She seemed somewhat helpless, yet had no way to deal with the woman before her.
But the Lion-kin referred to as "East Wind" by that woman was Carefree and Casual and didn't mind at all. She wiped her mouth, looking at the Gou Wen on the ground with shining eyes,
"I dun' kno', could it 'ave come from the sea?"
"You... you guys..."
Gou Wen, who was originally about to die, was nearly made to vomit blood by this group of people. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly thought of the previous matter of the Snake-Man Species tribe being robbed. Immediately after, he panted for a long, long time, and finally squeezed out a few words,
"Are the ones... robbing Demi-Human Girls... you... cough cough..."
As soon as these words came out, the four Demi-human Races opposite all stayed silent, and simultaneously looked at that raggedly dressed human woman with great tacit understanding.
Yet the woman hidden in the shadows, making Gou Wen unable to clearly see her specific features, didn't panic at all. She was seen looking at them, then looking at Gou Wen, and then said very seriously,
"First of all, I am not a Demi-Human Girl Con. Secondly, I—"
"Okay, okay, we came to rob stuff, hurry up and take the stuff and let's go. If I guessed correctly, the one fighting this Whale-kin just now was a very formidable Mythical Species... really, coming with you guys to rob a Mythical Species' things, I'm truly crazy..."
That "South Wind" Brain Demon Race finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She turned her head to size up the surroundings, complaining while worrying about the surrounding dangers. In case that previous Mythical Species' compatriot came over, they would Die Without a Place for Burial.
The Elephant-Man Species honestly rubbed his head. He looked like he knew nothing, only looking at that human woman, hearing her say,
"I already said, the larger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. That guy just now dropped a lot of equipment when he died. After we loot the equipment, let's retreat swiftly!"
"Honestly..."
The Brain Demon Race helplessly called the other few Demi-human Races who could barely be called "companions" to go over to the side where Sorobato died just now to scavenge equipment. In Gou Wen's fading peripheral vision, he discovered that practically the other four Demi-humans weren't intimate with each other; it could even be said they didn't even know each other.
They each kept a distance from each other, yet were Baffling And Unaccountable grouped together, due to a certain reason.
And that reason, unsurprisingly, was exactly this smiling human before him with slave brands engraved on her body.
That human didn't leave. Instead, she rubbed her hands and approached Gou Wen, who was unable to move and nearly dead on the ground, looking very excited.
"Cough cough, what... what are you doing?"
Gou Wen was Frightened Out of One's Wits. Could it be that even though he was about to die, his late-life integrity wouldn't be preserved?!
"Lemme 'Con' 'Con' your development. What kind of Demi-human Race are you? It's my first time seeing a Demi-human Race with this appearance, truly magical..."
"Don't... roll away..."
"Be obedient, let me see."
"I... I'm already married... cough cough... roll away..."
Facing the entirely powerless threat of a dying person, this human with flowing long hair resembling a savage before him suddenly froze. Then the next second, Gou Wen surprisingly found her eyes hidden under her hair lighting up slightly,
"Yo, married? That's great... Is the one you married a Demi-human like you? What do they look like? Let me see..."
"Your mom..."
A burst of malignant chill ran through Gou Wen's heart. While he felt immense humiliation and anger, that human's fingers had already slowly approached his body, as if searching him.
It was just that even Gou Wen didn't notice, the instant that woman's palm touched him, the eroding Chaos entwining Gou Wen vanished into that woman's body in the turn of a body, disappearing entirely without a trace.
Yet that woman's expression remained as usual, merely continuously sizing up Gou Wen's external structure.
Gou Wen's condition instantly warmed up a lot, and even his consciousness became slightly clearer. But he just felt he was angered by this weird guy before him.
"Don't be anxious, you'll die if you get more anxious."
That woman looked young, but she acted extremely fast. She almost groped from top to bottom and determined the wounds on Gou Wen's body. Subsequently, she scratched her hair, took off the torn clothes on Gou Wen's body, and then wrapped them layer after layer around Gou Wen, like wrapping a mummy.
Gou Wen squinted his eyes, his body hurting terribly, but overall his consciousness was somewhat clearer, and even the medical knowledge in his mind was recalled.
Seeing the other party helping treat him at this moment, his guard against the other party also eliminated bit by bit. He just said with a somewhat hoarse voice,
"Tied... tied wrong... not tied like this... cough cough..."
The woman before him looked up at Gou Wen somewhat surprisedly, then said somewhat embarrassedly,
"Sorry 'bout that, not a match for my major, bear with it a bit, it's my first time too."
"...Help me... inside my clothes... is the medicine I made..."
Gou Wen spoke with difficulty. He suddenly discovered this human before him had great strength and tied things very forcefully, which made the wrapped-up Gou Wen a bit breathless.
That human woman smilingly nodded and helped him extract a small pill contained in a little golden bottle from his robes.
"Oh, oh, no problem... Hey, speaking of which, you're a doctor? How many of these to take?"
"...Mm, one pill is enough."
Gou Wen nodded. Then he watched helplessly as this woman shook out one pill from that small bottle and fed it into Gou Wen's mouth. As for the rest, they were all skillfully pocketed into her own pocket.
Gou Wen's eyes widened slightly. Before he could speak, this woman familiarly stuffed the golden dagger he gripped just now into her own pocket as well. This made his eyes turn crimson as he struggled,
"What... what are you doing... give it back to me..."
"Huh, aren't you a doctor?"
"So..."
"Then practicing medicine requires collecting medical fees, don't you even understand this principle?"
"..."
Gou Wen almost vomited blood, but still gritted his teeth and said,
"That thing is very important to me... give it back to me. What other things do you want... I'll trade with you..."
This woman fumbled around Gou Wen's items again and discovered he was truly Completely Empty and Completely Clean. After hearing this, she raised the golden dagger in her hand and glanced at it. Sharp-eyedly, she saw the two names engraved on it, but she acted like an illiterate who couldn't read the writing on it at all.
After estimating for a long while, she suddenly guessed,
"Could this thing be related to your wife?"
"You... cough cough..."
This guy, why was her guess so accurate?
"It's not impossible to return it to you. You come from the seafloor, right? Next time we meet, let me see what the other Demi-Human Girls on the seafloor look like, and I'll return it to you."
That woman shook the medicine she just took from Gou Wen's robes. After shaking it, she seemed to treat it like popping a jellybean and stuffed one medicine into her own mouth. The result was in the next second she "patooey'd" it out due to bitterness,
"Pah pah pah, what the heck is this, why is it so bitter?"
"You... cough cough, what's your name? I... will come find you... you wait for me..."
Gou Wen gritted his teeth, staring word by word at the golden dagger pinched in the other party's hand. If it weren't for his four limbs being severed when fighting Sorobato earlier and not having grown back well yet, causing him to be unable to move, he would absolutely get up and beat her violently.
Demi-Human Girls, my ass...
Do you think you're that guy Fisher?!
Truly seeing ghosts, these bizarrely shaped people can be seen anywhere.
"My name is Ying Zheng. Tonight I'm going to attack the states of Han, Zhao, and Wei... Oh, sorry, said it wrong. But you best act a bit faster, oh. After all, you wouldn't want your wife to discover this thing was lost, right?"
"..."
Gou Wen couldn't understand the preceding words. Only after hearing the other party's last sentence, Gou Wen's blood finally rushed to his head, nearly losing his breath on the spot, and then collapsed sideways in a faint on the spot.
And as that woman hugged the equipment Gou Wen dropped and headed to converge with the other companions, vaguely, those chaotic auras nearby all seemed to vanish silently, yet she was completely oblivious to the anomaly around her.
She merely arrived in the distance and saw those four people each carrying a pile of Holy Artifacts just used by Sorobato on their backs, looking like an abundant haul.
"Good, good, this wave got us fat. Okay, okay, East, South, West, North Winds, little ones, follow me and continue heading North. We're done robbing here, time to go adventure in other places."
The expressions on the faces of those few Demi-human Races varied. The expressions on the faces of that Brain Demon Race and Wolfman Race even showed some hesitation. But watching that ragged woman who possessed strange magic and was Completely All Alone slowly walk towards the night sky with her hands behind her back, they still followed her footsteps.
Under the curtain of night, there were still five human figures of varying heights and weights. The distance between them further proved they weren't originally familiar with each other; it was merely because of that bizarre human woman that they seemingly produced the illusion of a team.
Walking and walking in the night wind, in a place very, very far from the fainted Gou Wen, that honest Elephant-Man Species suddenly rubbed his head and looked towards the South,
"Boss, I heard there seems to be a place called the 'Ideal State' over there. My old dad said there's an Elf-kin from a distant continent there, super dupes formidable. Didn't you also say earlier that place might have your... uh, what did you call it again?"
"Fellow townsman."
The Brain Demon Race nearby added a sentence expressionlessly.
"Ah, right right right, that's it... So, Boss, are you really not going over to meet that fellow townsman or whatever?"
The human woman walking in front on the sandy beach with her hands behind her back didn't speak, just smilingly turned her head to look at the Elephant-Man Species,
"What, do you expect me to 'fellow townsmen seeing fellow townsmen, eyes brimming with tears'?"
"Mm, I don't know either..."
That Elephant-Man Species rubbed his head again and replied thusly. But that woman shook her head, knocked on that tall Elephant-Man Species' leg with her hand, and said,
"Bad, then you should have said so earlier. I've already exposed my true nature, aren't you afraid of me dying a social death if I go now?"
"...What the heck is social death again?"
"It means being uncomfortable, much more uncomfortable than being in front of you sworn brothers and sisters, get it?"
"When did we become sworn siblings?"
At this time, the four people nearby all looked at this female leader.
"Uh, right now?"
That Brain Demon Race sighed and continued walking forward, not wanting to pay attention to this neurotic Perverted Demi-Human Girl Lover at all.
But before she could take a single step, she was hugged by the human pouncing from behind. She continuously rubbed against her nearly translucent brain, making her face turn red while being unable to escape no matter what.
This human not only had incredibly great strength, but her own intangibility had absolutely no effect on her.
Clearly when she met her a year ago she was just an ordinary female human...
"Wow, South Wind, your head is really soft, just like jelly..."
"Go die!"
"Haha, don't say that. I chose not to see my fellow townsman to stay with you guys, why so cold..."
South Wind... no, Liruika ignored this guy entirely. She already had an immunity effect to this guy's personality,
"Heh, then go then, the Ideal State, doesn't it sound wonderful? I heard other Demi-humans say that the Elf inside is very friendly to all creatures, the kind that doesn't discriminate by rank... Why suffer outside with me sneaking and robbing?"
"Huh, South Wind, you're a tsundere, oh?"
"...Although I don't understand, it feels like a disgusting vocabulary word."
"It means complimenting your cuteness."
"Hmph..."
Seeing the Brain Demon Race's reaction, that woman suddenly burst into belly laughter. With a light leap, she jumped onto the Elephant-Man Species' massive head and sat cross-legged.
She looked at the Southern night sky. Under her long hair, a pair of brownish-black eyes reflected the bright moonlight, appearing so luminous.
After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said to the others,
"Ideal State... heh, are you guys willing to believe this, or willing to believe I am Qin Shi Huang?"
"...You still said you were Qin Shi Huang last month."
"The me of last month is no longer me."
"Heh, sophistry."
"Huh? South Wind, you're so smart, are you going to take the grad school entrance exam?"
"..."
That human dangled the golden dagger in her hand, quietly lying on that giant Elephant-Man Species' forehead, quietly gazing up at the starry sky, and just like that disappeared into the moonlight with several figures.
Only the four traveling Demi-humans knew that this human with a bizarre personality, who took all comers male and female, was a Transferred Person from another world.
Sometimes she called herself "Qin Shi Huang", other times "Ying Zheng"...
But most of the time, they liked to call her "Perverted Demi-Human Girl Lover".
