Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3432 – Untitled

Gus and Grey were both shocked speechless.

Needless to say, Gus was as timid as a mouse.

Although his sister Grey was a boxing genius, she had been prepared to face death when she touched the taboo ‘force of machinery and steam’.

However, what she summoned was not the purest steam but such an ugly kid, which was beyond her expectation, too.

After all, she was not even twenty years old and had never left Red Gold Town. For a moment, she was in a mess, and her heart was beating fast.

“Calm down. Calm down.”

On the other hand, the ugly kid named ‘Lu Qingchen’ comforted them with a smile. “Just to be sure, it was you who let me in, wasn’t it?”

His choice of words was very odd.

He had been summoned by Grey from the sealed steam ball. If he had been sealed inside in the first place, he would have been ‘released’ instead of ‘released’.

Gus was shivering and screaming, “Sister, it is indeed a steam devil. It just said that we let it in from hell!”

“I only said ‘let them in’. When did I mention ‘hell’ and ‘earth’?”

Lu Qingchen slapped his head helplessly. Then he looked at his legs, which had turned into smoke, and the ball of steam that was connected to the bottom of the smoke. He smiled and said, “Ha. I didn’t know that I would end up like this. What is this? A genie in a bottle? Speaking of which, your world is quite interesting. So many gears, chains, tubes, and steam engines. Is this a world of machines and steam?”

“Of course not!”

Lu Qingchen’s ugliness and weakness gave Gus the illusion and courage. He spat on the ground and screamed, “Machinery and steam are the evil forces that deserve to be cursed. This is the world of the Fist God. The brilliance of the Fist God shines upon the earth. If you dare to commit crimes here, the Fist God will certainly destroy you!”

“Fist… God?”

Lu Qingchen blinked for a long time and suddenly realized something. “Is it the boxing champion?”

“Don’t call the Fist King by his name.”

Gus clenched his fists and defended his sacred belief. “He is the supreme Fist God!”

Silence. The ugly kid was silent for a while, but his eyes were bulging wider and wider. He seemed to be in the middle of a flood that was about to break the dam.

Just when Gus thought that the devil would suddenly burst into fury, it held its belly and burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha. Hahahaha. The supreme god of boxing in the world of boxing? Interesting. Very interesting!”

Lu Qingchen was laughing so hard that he was almost crying. He said intermittently, “I thought that, ha, ha, only sleazy villains such as myself like to play tricks and worship people. I didn’t know that a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you would have so many tricks in your head. Great minds think alike!”

Gus and Grey looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what the ugly kid was talking about.

“What—what are you exactly?”

Grey summoned her courage and asked, “Why did you crawl out of the ball of steam? I’m very sure that there was nothing inside before I poured the high-pressure steam into it. Is it true that the power of steam is evil and that ‘steam devil’ can be summoned from hell when the limit is exceeded?”

“It is difficult for you to explain my background with your current wisdom. However, let me repeat myself. I am not a ‘steam devil’.”

Lu Qingchen put his hands behind his back and pretended that he was an adult. He shook his head and said, “Think of me as the elf in the bottle for now. Have you heard the story where a kind man released the elf who had been sealed for thousands of years from the bottle? The elf decided to fulfill three of his wishes. I have decided to fulfill three of your wishes, too, whatever they are. However, can you at least tell me the name of my savior first?”

Hearing this, Grey hesitated.

“Sister?”

Gus exclaimed, “It must be a devil. We can’t tell it our name!”

“Three wishes. Anything is fine.”

Seeing the girl’s hesitation, Lu Qingchen enticed her with a smile. “For example, if you want to become an unparalleled expert, have a lot of wealth, or even destroy the world, just say the word!”

“Sister, did you hear that? It is indeed a devil. It wants to destroy the entire world!”

Shocked and infuriated, Gus shook Grey hard. “Sister, you’ve gone astray by studying ‘steam and mechanical force’. You can’t go wrong again and again. Let’s go to Uncle. He must have a way to save—”

Gus was going to tell Grey that his uncle must have a way to save her soul.

But when he thought of how his uncle had ‘rescued’ Qin Yi’s soul just now, he failed to finish his sentence.

“You don’t understand, little brother. I already… can’t turn back.”

Grey smiled miserably. Taking a deep breath, she stared at Lu Qingchen and said, “My name is Grey. This is my brother, Gus. We are the children of Glen, the best expert of Red Gold Town!”

I’m screwed!

Gus’s face turned pale.

If their real names were known by the devils, who knew how they would be used, enslaved, and tortured.

But the ‘demon’ in front of him did not seem to care at all. He simply nodded.

“Your name is Grey, your brother’s name is Gus, and your father’s name is Glen. Is your family name ‘Ge’?”

Lu Qingchen replied casually, “Your hair is gold, but your eyes are black. Your name sounds like a magical language, but your family’s surname is ‘Ge’. What kind of weird naming rules are those? The boxing champion is too careless. Or is it because his computational ability is not good enough to paint all the details?”

Gus and Grey were in a daze again. They did not understand what the ugly kid was saying.

“Forget it. Don’t bother about the details. Tell me, what are your dreams?”

Lu Qingchen smiled. “Do you want to discuss it? This is a rare opportunity!”

“I want to know how my father, Glen, died,” Grey blurted out.

“Well—”

Before Lu Qingchen replied, Gus had already jumped to his feet, his face full of shock. “Sister, what are you talking about? Didn’t Dad practice the ‘Mad Demon Fist Art’ and fall off a cliff because of mental derangement? Is that what my uncle said?”

“Don’t be silly, brother. Haven’t you noticed? There is no ‘Mad Demon Fist Art’, or rather, it is just a disguise.

Pointing at the mechanical and steam tubes nearby, Grey said coldly, “Dad was never a loyal believer of the Fist God. His purpose was not to create the ‘Mad Demon Fist Art’ but to study the ‘force of machinery and steam’ in this place!

“Here comes the question. If my father was never interested in the Mad Demon Fist Art, how did he become mentally deranged and fall off the cliff?

“Yes. That’s what my uncle said. We saw my father’s miserable body, too. But nobody saw my father fall off the cliff. The wounds on his body could have been caused by other methods, too.

“Ever since I discovered the secret chamber by accident, I realized that my father’s death was not as simple as it sounded. After all, shortly after my father’s death, my mother died of depression. That is to say, if my father was killed by someone, that person killed our parents!

“The blood feud between my parents is irreconcilable. As the daughter of Glen, I have to find out the truth—even with the help of forbidden machines and steam!
