#401 - Chapter 401: The Coldness of the Steel City

Ji Ruxue entrusted all her weight to Mo Nan, leaning against him, and whispered:

"Mo Nan, my good junior brother, Senior Sister loves you, loves you very, very much."

She didn't ask how Mo Nan gave her the Golden Finger, as it wouldn't be strange for someone like Mo Nan to possess such miraculous abilities.

Besides, she didn't want to know these things; all she knew now was that this little junior brother was her man, and he had given her a Golden Finger, a low-grade immortal-level Golden Finger.

Using a low-grade immortal-level Golden Finger as a token of love, tell me, in the entire Blue Star, among billions of humans, who else could do such a thing?

A wave of sweetness and happiness surged into her heart, filling her entire heart chamber.

Mo Nan looked at his beautiful Senior Sister's happy face, and a smile also appeared in his eyes.

Being intimate with his beloved gave him a strange sense of accomplishment.

In addition, all the hair on his peerless Senior Sister's head was snow-white, and Mo Nan suddenly felt like he had discovered a treasure.

However, this time when using [Equivalent Exchange], Mo Nan used the [Monster Killing Upgrade System] only to exchange for a Golden Finger that he already possessed.

[Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns System].

However, this could be considered good news, after all, Ji Ruxue's entire being didn't have anything that could compare to a low-grade immortal-level Golden Finger. If he hadn't exchanged for the [Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns System], but had exchanged for something else of Ji Ruxue's, such as her lifespan, Mo Nan would have been reluctant.

Besides, the reason for giving the [Monster Killing Upgrade System] to Ji Ruxue was because Ji Ruxue's [Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns System] had two obvious shortcomings.

The first was that it didn't directly help with cultivation.

The second was that each time the [Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns System] was activated, it required demon beast inner cores.

And the [Monster Killing Upgrade System] just happened to have these two advantages.

Its direct improvement to cultivation went without saying; this Golden Finger was previously Mo Nan's greatest contributor to rapid cultivation improvement.

As for now, Mo Nan felt that the [Dreams Come True System], this mid-grade immortal-level Golden Finger, should be his best Golden Finger for improving his cultivation, followed by the [Monster Killing Upgrade System].

As for demon beast inner cores, Ji Ruxue could conveniently obtain them while hunting demon beasts, killing two birds with one stone.

Fleeting thoughts flashed through his mind, and Mo Nan stroked Ji Ruxue's snow-white hair again.

After the two embraced and cherished each other for a long time, Ji Ruxue suddenly said:

"Junior brother, let's go to Huaying City."

Next, Ji Ruxue carefully explained her Golden Finger to Mo Nan, and also said that Huaying City should really exist, and that some unfair things might have happened there before.

Hearing this, Mo Nan's anger flared up immediately.

He remembered the faces of those people in the Huaying City Martial Arts Palace in the dream world. If the real Huaying City was also like that, he couldn't imagine how dark the entire Huaying City would be?

As a human race Major General, he couldn't sit idly by.

"Okay, let's go now."

After Mo Nan said that, he helped Ji Ruxue down from his body.

A moment later, the two re-clothed themselves.

Mo Nan watched as Ji Ruxue carefully cut off the blood-colored plum blossom and put it away, and couldn't help but kiss her red lips with affection again.

Finally, the two left the thatched hut together.

Although the two had been messing around in the house for a long time, because of the time acceleration inside the house, not much time had passed outside.

At this moment, the moon was still hanging in the middle of the sky, just past midnight.

It is worth mentioning that no matter how long the [Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns System] lasts in the dream world, only one minute will pass outside.

Of course, the cooldown time is twenty-four hours.

So the current time is only a little past twelve o'clock in the morning.

After the two left the thatched hut, Mo Nan put his arm around Ji Ruxue.

Now that Mo Nan had the Nine Heavens Walker's token in hand, he could roam freely throughout the world.

Ji Ruxue also reached out and put her arm around Mo Nan's waist. The next moment, as a Kunpeng phantom flashed by, the figures of Mo Nan and Ji Ruxue also disappeared from the spot.

In the thatched hut not far away, looking at the intimate actions of the two, Wang Feng's expression was extremely complicated. After a long time, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

… …

Blue Star, Sirius Continent, Tianyuan Prefecture, Huaying City.

This is a very backward place, of course, referring to the backwardness of martial arts.

The overall martial arts level here is similar to that of Lin'an City, where Mo Nan is located, both of which are barren lands of martial arts on Blue Star.

Midnight is the time when nightlife is just beginning for people on Blue Star.

The streets are crowded with people, and under the bright lights and bustling activity is the beauty and madness of nightlife.

However, in a corner of the city, there was a figure leaning against the corner of the wall, curled up into a ball, as if he had lost his life.

As a gust of cold wind blew past, the figure trembled slightly, and then, he slightly raised his head.

That was a man, a man who looked extremely embarrassed.

Long and dirty messy hair almost covered his entire face, unkempt, with a stubbly beard, and between the gaps in his hair were a pair of eyes like dead ashes, as if he had lost all hope.

Pa ta.

With a soft sound, two steaming hot buns appeared in front of the man, and a figure wearing a school uniform walked away.

The man stretched out his trembling hand, picked up the two buns in front of him, and mechanically sent them to his mouth.

In the wind, there came two syllables like the friction of iron sheets—

"Thank you…"

Only these two simple syllables proved that he was still alive.

He must also live, his great revenge has not yet been avenged, and his wife, who has shared weal and woe with him, is still in dire straits, how could he die?

This noisy and lively modern city did not make him feel a bit of warmth. All he could feel was the coldness belonging to steel.

Besides that, the only thing that was warm was the two buns in his hand.

And that was the boy who always brought him buns.

In the man's heart, this boy, who always had a sunny smile, was the only light in this city.

The boy was a good person, and in his countless prayers, he had hoped that God would allow the boy to awaken a very good Golden Finger and become a martial artist admired by everyone.

In this way, he would be able to leave this cold city, and not suffer as much as he had.
