Zhao Kongcheng first glanced at Lin Qiye, then looked at Gu Tianchen, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Finally, Gu Tianchen broke the awkward silence, looking at Zhao Kongcheng and asking with a smile:

"Was I handsome just now?"

Chapter 4 I Want Red Tassels

Zhao Kongcheng frowned, feeling that something was off, a sense of powerlessness as if someone had stolen his lines.

"Ahem...not bad, half as handsome as me," Zhao Kongcheng said, looking at the two young men in front of him. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Kongcheng."

“You, come with me,” Zhao Kongcheng pointed at Lin Qiye, then looked at Gu Tianchen, “you, go with him.”

Zhao Kongcheng pointed to a man who was also wearing a dark red cloak who had rushed over.

Gu Tianchen glanced at the man who arrived later. He was wearing the same Night Watch cloak as Zhao Kongcheng, but he looked more serious and rigid than Zhao Kongcheng.

Squad 136's leader, Chen Muye, went to chase after Ghost Face King. The other members were all relatively young, and he kept his hands hidden under his dark red cloak, intentionally or unintentionally concealing something.

His identity was obvious: Wu Xiangnan, the deputy captain of Squad 136.

"Then what about him?"

Gu Tianchen pointed to Li Yifei, who had fainted behind him.

"Don't worry, someone will take him home," Wu Xiangnan said.

Zhao Kongcheng led Lin Qiye away, while Wu Xiangnan led Gu Tianchen to a secluded rooftop.

"My name is Wu Xiangnan, and I am the deputy captain of the 136th Night Watch Squad."

Wu Xiangnan briefly explained the existence of the Night Watchers organization, then looked at Gu Tianchen and asked, "Which god was that crimson giant shadow with divine aura just now?"

“He said his name was Zhu Rong,” Gu Tianchen said earnestly.

Wu Xiangnan's eyes widened. "The God of Fire, Zhurong?! A deity of the Great Xia Dynasty?!"

For over a hundred years since the appearance of the mist, different pantheons and deities have emerged in various countries and regions around the world, but the pantheon of the Great Xia Dynasty has not appeared.

There are many different opinions about whether the Great Xia pantheon exists, and no one knows where the Great Xia gods are.

But now, the aura of a Great Xia god has appeared on this young man. This is great news for Great Xia, which is constantly facing invasion by external gods!

"Did He tell you where He is? Does He know the whereabouts of the other Great Xia gods?" Wu Xiangnan asked excitedly.

Gu Tianchen said, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. That lord is currently trapped in some unknown space and can't get out. He asked me to find nine different flames for him to appear in the world."

"So far, I have only seen the god of fire, Zhurong. As for where the other gods of the Great Xia Dynasty went, I don't know."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Wu Xiangnan's eyes.

Although Zhu Rong was a powerful ancient fire god, even a mighty tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves. Now, none of the external gods eyeing the Great Xia are easy to deal with.

If the whereabouts of the gods of the Great Xia could be found through the fire god Zhurong, it would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather, given the current situation of the Great Xia.

However, now that there is news of the fire god Zhurong, it must be not too far off for other gods of the Great Xia Dynasty to appear, right?

"The god of fire, Zhurong, chose you as his agent? His instructions to you were simply to collect nine different kinds of fire?" Wu Xiangnan asked.

"Vulcan's Agent? That doesn't sound very high-class. I still think Pangu's Agent is more suitable for me... But collecting the nine types of flames isn't as simple as you think, is it?" Gu Tianchen said to Wu Xiangnan.

Is it difficult?

pat!

Wu Xiangnan took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and a wisp of flame shot out.

Gu Tianchen: (ー_ー)!!

"You think you're funny?"

"Ahem... Doesn't this count?" Wu Xiangnan awkwardly put away the lighter.

"He's an ancient fire god, after all; he can't be dealt with by ordinary flames." Gu Tianchen said, speechless.

"Okay, to what extent can you utilize your Forbidden Ruins now?" Wu Xiangnan continued to press.

You mean this?

Gu Tianchen raised his middle finger at Wu Xiangnan, and a wisp of purplish-red flame shot out.

The moment the Heavenly Fire was unleashed, the surrounding temperature instantly rose. The terrifying divine power contained within it sent a shiver down Wu Xiangnan's spine, as if a colossal fiery beast capable of melting all things in the world was hidden within it.

But this kid's gestures...

Wu Xiangnan suppressed the urge to curse and took out a small notebook to carefully record Gu Tianchen's abilities.

"Besides manipulating fire, what other abilities does your Forbidden Ruins possess?"

"I can use flames to create a clone to fight, and I can also use a flame to be reborn from the ashes, but I can only be reborn once with a flame," Gu Tianchen honestly confessed.

"You can be reborn too?" Wu Xiangnan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Gu Tianchen asked knowingly, "Why did you use the word 'also'?"

“Oh, it’s nothing. I have a friend whose forbidden ability is rebirth,” Wu Xiangnan explained.

Gu Tianchen saw through it but didn't say anything; the friend Wu Xiangnan mentioned was actually himself.

Former member of the Blue Rain Squad (Squad 005), Forbidden Ruins Sequence 233 [Rebirth].

Known as the Immortal Swordsman, Wu Xiangnan's hand was unfortunately injured by Susanoo's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi. Even after being reborn, he could not erase the injury and would never be able to wield a sword again in this lifetime.

Wu Xiangnan recorded in detail Gu Tianchen's current ability to create forbidden voids.

He possesses terrifyingly scorching divine flames, can create clones using these flames, and has the ability to be reborn from the ashes. Furthermore, he is currently the only representative of the Great Xia gods.

This kid is practically made for the Night's Watch; we have to recruit him into their ranks.

If those bastards from the Church of the Ancient Gods target us, it will only become a scourge.

"Interested in joining our Night Watch?" Wu Xiangnan asked tentatively.

To collect the nine different flames, one must constantly engage with the mysterious, and joining the Night's Watch is his best choice.

After all, his current strength is still very weak. If he doesn't join the Night Watch and is instead targeted by those scum of the Church of the Old Gods, it will be troublesome.

"Sure, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

cluck cluck~

Gu Tianchen's stomach began to protest.

"Um... can we eat and talk at the same time?"

"Let's go."

……

Cangnan City, Heping Bridge, Heping Office.

The members of Squad 136 stared in disbelief as Gu Tianchen, who looked like he hadn't eaten for over ten days, went on a crazy display of food. The empty bowls next to him had already formed a small mountain.

With delicate features and a voluptuous figure, Hongying looked at Wu Xiangnan and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure this glutton is a representative of the gods?"

Si Xiaonan, petite and sweet-looking, wearing black-rimmed glasses, was tending to Hongying's wounds.

With a smile in her eyes and a gentle expression, Wen Qimo placed a steaming bowl of noodles in front of Gu Tianchen.

"Ahem... Vice Captain, we're out of food at home. This kid has eaten almost three days' worth of our team's food by himself," Wen Qimo whispered a reminder.

Wu Xiangnan frowned. "Where's the captain?"

"He and Leng Xuan went to chase after the Ghost-Faced King and haven't returned yet."

"Hiccup~"

Gu Tianchen let out a burp, and his hunger disappeared by more than half.

Using the Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique is too physically demanding.

"Gu Tianchen, can you tell me the conditions for joining the Night Watchmen now?" Wu Xiangnan asked.

"My condition is simple: I want her."

Gu Tianchen pointed to the red tassel.

Hongying, who was stretching her arms, pointed at herself with a bewildered expression, "You want me?"

Chapter 5 Rose Fire Feather Clothes

The members of Squad 136 were completely baffled.

Hongying looked at Gu Tianchen and said seriously, "Little brother, although I am quite pretty, I am not such a casual person."

"I know that it's inevitable for a naive teenage boy like you to be attracted to pretty girls, but you must learn to control yourself..."

"What are you thinking about? I need you to do me a favor," Gu Tianchen interrupted Hongying.

"What kind of help?" Hongying asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"Help me cool down," Gu Tianchen said.

"Damn it, isn't this the same thing? You look like a big, handsome guy, but I never expected you to be so filthy and shameless. Where's my gun?! I'll stab you to death!"

Hongying began searching for her weapon.

"Ahem... The fire god Zhurong instructed him to find nine different flames. He meant for you to use your [Rosefire Feather Robe] to help him eliminate one of the flames," Wu Xiangnan explained.

Hongying put down her spear and looked at Gu Tianchen, saying, "Hey, you should have said so earlier. It's no big deal. But how did you know that my Forbidden Ruins are related to fire?"

Si Xiaonan adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. "Sister Hongying, she is the agent of the God of Fire, Zhurong. It doesn't seem to be difficult for her to sense that your forbidden area is related to fire."

"Hehe, um... little brother Tianchen, I misunderstood earlier, please don't mind. But if you want to obtain my flame, you have to defeat me first." Hongying brandished her spear and looked at Gu Tianchen.

Wu Xiangnan did not stop Hongying from challenging him. In fact, he also wanted to see how much strength this agent of the fire god Zhurong could exert.

"Don't worry, I won't bully a newcomer like you. I will suppress my spiritual power level to the Zhan Realm and have a fair spar with you," Hongying said.

“But Sister Hongying, the injury on your arm hasn’t fully healed yet…” Si Xiaonan reminded her.

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm much better after your treatment, and I'm more than capable of dealing with this kid," Hongying said confidently.
