Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Little Shu, come here, have a piece of meat."

Hongying picked up a piece of braised pork and placed it in Chen Shu's bowl.

"Thank you, Sister Hongying." Chen Shuxi smiled broadly.

"Oh, no need to thank me. I haven't seen you in ages. How about you stay tonight?"

Hongying hugged "Fentian"'s arm tightly and rubbed her cheek against it affectionately.

As Wen Qimo, who was sitting to Chen Shu's right, spoke, he reached out and touched "Fen Tian's" arm.

"I agree. I haven't seen you in ages either. How about we get together tonight..."

Suddenly sensing a murderous intent, Wen Qimo looked up at Chen Shu and met "Burning Heaven's" murderous gaze.

"I forgot to tell you, this body belongs to a 'Sea' Realm Flame Vein Earth Dragon. If she gets angry, I might not be able to stop her."

Wen Qimo swallowed hard, feeling his back soaked with cold sweat. He silently withdrew his arm. "No, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Chen Shu reached out and patted Wen Qimo on the back, "Hey, what are you afraid of? No matter what, I won't let something like that happen."

"puff--!"

Wen Qimo had just taken a sip of soup to calm his nerves when Chen Shu slapped him with such force that he spat it out again.

"Cough cough...you, you be gentle..."

"Chen Shu, this Fiery Vein Earth Dragon is at the 'Sea' Realm, which means you've also reached the 'Sea' Realm?"

Wu Xiangnan quickly shoveled the rice out of her bowl, then looked at Chen Shu and slowly began to speak.

Chen Shu quickly shook his head, "No, no, Deputy Captain Wu, you overestimate me. I'm only at the 'Chuan' realm right now."

???

The people gathered around the table looked at Chen Shu with strange expressions.

Is this an overestimation?! Let's not even talk about the "sea" realm fighting against the "sea" realm. No matter how strong the Flame Vein Earth Dragon is, it's not as strong as Chen Shuqiang, who possesses multiple forbidden artifacts.

But Chen Shu is a damn "Chuan" realm cultivator! A mere "Chuan" realm cultivator actually defeated the "Hai" realm's Flame Vein Earth Dragon and even subdued it as one of his own!

Noticing everyone's gaze on him, Chen Shu was a little confused. "Huh? Eating? Why are you all looking at me?"

"Ahem." Chen Muye coughed lightly twice and calmly asked, "Chen Shu, are you still a member of the Ancient God Church?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I have my own power base now." Chen Shu said, a small black box appearing out of thin air in his hand. "Guess what's inside?"

"Damn it, stop beating around the bush and just tell me already." Zhao Kongcheng said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, with an arrogant expression on his face.

"Having a bad temper isn't good; I'm afraid it'll scare you." Chen Shu chuckled twice and opened the box...

"Fuck!"

"No way?"

"This can't be fake, right?"

"Little Book, you're amazing!"

"..."

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Wu Xiangnan gently picked up the Star Sea Medal, which symbolized the highest honor of the Night Watchmen, as if afraid of accidentally damaging it.

Judging from how much Wu Xiangnan cherished it, the Night Watchmen must have been extremely eager to obtain this medal.

"You're pretty good, kid. What big thing have you been up to secretly?" Wu Xiangnan's eyes were full of satisfaction.

However, in Chen Shu's eyes, this look seemed to be tinged with regret.

Originally belonging to the Fifth Special Squad of the Great Xia Night Watchers, if he hadn't encountered the Yamata no Orochi, or if the [Blue Rain] squad had successfully returned from the mist, might he also have received this medal...?

"Haha, I captured a city of the Ancient God Church, took more than two thousand of their believers prisoner, and..." Chen Shu paused deliberately for a moment, "I also killed the agent of the God of Yellow Sand, Set!"

Having just experienced two shocks, everyone was once again shocked upon hearing this.

Wu Xiangnan was the first to recover from the shock. "Really?! I remember the God of Yellow Sand's agent was at the 'Boundless' realm, right? How did you kill him?"

After asking the questions, Wu Xiangnan looked at Chen Shu expectantly. However, he only said one sentence from beginning to end: Chen Muye patted him on the shoulder.

Wu Xiangnan turned to look at Chen Muye, but Chen Muye did not answer him. Instead, he looked at Chen Shu and said, "Chen Shu, you don't have to answer this kind of question."

"Hahaha." Chen Shu laughed twice. "Then I won't say it, but you will definitely find out later."

After dinner, Hongying pulled Chen Shu and Si Xiaonan aside to chat for a while about some of Chen Shu's recent events.

Chen Shu also briefly recounted his encounters with the Battle Axe Squad, the chivalrous knight, and the Qin Xue siblings.

"Xiao Shu, tell me the truth, did you help that little girl just because she's pretty?"

"Sigh, is that swordsman really that handsome? When can you bring him over so I can meet him?"

"By the way, Xiao Shu, you didn't do anything to that girl, did you? Let me tell you, if you did, you'll have to take responsibility!"

"Hey, are those guys from Battle Axe really that good? They sound like they have better teamwork than us."

"..."

Faced with one bizarre question after another from the two, Chen Shu was completely unable to answer.

Chen Shu made up an excuse that he needed to use the restroom and went to the entrance of the firm.

My gaze unconsciously fell on the alleyway diagonally opposite.

Chen Shu's lips unconsciously curled up. Thinking about it carefully, this journey felt like a dream. From meeting Lin Qiye at the beginning to returning here again, the events that had happened in the past six months seemed to have happened in the blink of an eye.

Ding dong——!

The shop door behind them was pushed open, and Leng Xuan appeared beside Chen Shu.

Chen Shu was not surprised by Leng Xuan's appearance. If he hadn't shown up today, he could have considered making sure that Leng Xuan could never be "himself" again.

Underneath his baseball cap, Leng Xuan's perpetually aloof face now showed a deep tension.

"Ahem..." Leng Xuan glanced at Chen Shu, and after confirming that he wasn't being noticed, he began to cough again, "Ahem..."

"No, you can't control yourself when you see a pretty girl? Why are your eyes always squinting? Should I change into a burly man's look?"

"I remember Leng Xuan from Squad 136 was calm and collected in the face of trouble, and he never hesitated to take action. What? He's good at taking action, but when it comes to speaking, he gets stuck in his throat?"

Successfully provoked by Chen Shu's long-winded speech, Leng Xuan gritted his teeth and blurted out the words "I'm sorry".

"Are you a fly? Go buzz away."

Leng Xuan glared at Chen Shu, seemingly wanting to curse, but after thinking for a moment, he held back, "...I'm sorry!!"

This time, Chen Shu grinned and said, "That's right. Don't let me down. Besides me, there probably won't be a third person in this world who has Medusa's Divine Ruins."

"Thank you."

Leng Xuan uttered two more words.

Chen Shu nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, although Fen Tian is very beautiful, she's not for you to see. That's all for today, I'm leaving!"

"Sigh..." Leng Xuan called out to Chen Shu, who was about to leave, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to them?"

Chen Shu waved and walked into the dark street with Big Yellow beside him. "No, we'll meet again someday. Also, I'm so happy to have met you all!"
