Chapter 165: Side Quest—Twin Heroic Spirits



Zhang Yibai was a little dazed. He didn\'t expect Gu Nan to attack so quickly. There were so many things he didn’t have the time to say, and he didn’t even have a chance to show his own usefulness in front of Gu Nan.

He was even more confused: ‘This Lord seems like he only came here to kill people… If so, then what’s his actual goal?’

‘Whether it\'s for the sake of the naturally formed Heroic Spirit or whether he wants other resources, that information can always be tortured out of Boss Han by leaving him alive for the time being.’

On the other hand, the naked girl was already screaming, but she forcefully covered her mouth soon after for fear that Gu Nan would kill her as well.

Gu Nan didn\'t even look at Zhang Yibai and the girl. He just walked slowly inside the house. With a gentle flip of his hand, a small box appeared in his hand.

This was the box Lin Duo had just earlier today. For some reason, it was already in Gu Nan\'s possession.

When this box was in Lin Duo\'s hands, it often shook, making people feel that something inside wanted to come out. But it was incomparably still in Gu Nan\'s hands.

That is, right until Gu Nan took it out. The box shook a little more, pointing Gu Nan in a certain direction.

"Sure enough…" A smile spread across Gu Nan’s face. With his many years of dungeon-clearing experience, he knew missions could be hidden behind any abnormal occurrence.

Lin Duo\'s box was obviously abnormal. Naturally, it couldn’t hide from Gu Nan\'s eyes.

So he found the time to get this box and brought it to Boss Han’s villa in passing. As expected, it elicited a reaction from the box.

"My Lord." Zhang Yibai couldn’t help feeling anxious when he saw that Gu Nan didn\'t plan to leave. "Let\'s leave quickly, there are still many experts hiding here… Ah!"

Before he finished, black light flashed across the room, and the same dagger also appeared in his throat.

Zhang Yibai looked at Gu Nan in astonishment. He couldn\'t understand why the other party would attack him.

‘Doesn’t he intend to deal with the Han family? Doesn’t he need me to provide him information? Even if he needs nothing from me… I clearly didn’t show any signs of disloyalty, so why…’

Naturally, nobody answered Zhang Yibai\'s questions, nor would he find any answers on his way to the afterlife.

In fact, Gu Nan had no grudge against the Han family. He just wanted to kill all the Han family members who knew about Lin Duo in order to ensure this high school girl’s safety.

As for killing Zhang Yibai, it was also for the same reason. Since he no longer had any use but still knew about Lin Duo’s existence, then he could just die.

Gu Nan\'s figure disappeared around the corner, and the naked girl choked back her fear. She found some random clothes on the ground and wrapped herself in it, then ran out in a hurry.

……

The object calling to the small box turned out to be another box hidden in a room in the deepest part of the villa.

If not for the connection between the two boxes, it really wouldn’t have been easy to find this place. Even if he could enter this room, it would still be hard to find the other box.

But Gu Nan definitely wouldn’t miss the second box, because as soon as he stepped into this room, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and he swung a sword downwards at a corner of the room.

"Wait! Don\'t attack, I\'m on your side!" A miserable shout came as a figure floated out.

The description “floated out” was appropriate, because this was an old man with white hair who only had an upper body; his lower body was a cloud of smoke, just like the ghosts from novels or comics.

This was a Heroic Spirit that didn’t belong to a single individual. Rather, it was a special Heroic Spirit that guarded these two boxes.

As a Heroic Spirit himself, Gu Nan was particularly sensitive to other Heroic Spirits. As soon as the two boxes neared each other, he sensed that the other party appeared from the other box.

"You’re the Heroic Spirit from these two boxes?" Gu Nan took both boxes in his hand, then looked at the bearded old man and asked.

"That’s right." The bearded old man raised his head. "I am the guardian of the Sun Moon Enchanted Box."

"Sun Moon Enchanted Box?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrow slightly. He looked down at the two boxes. Sure enough, although the boxes had similar styles, the patterns on them were different.

The box Lin Duo inherited from her ancestor should be the sun box. It had a rising sun pattern.

Seeing Gu Nan\'s expression, the bearded old man\'s face looked more lofty, like a mysterious expert. "Young people nowadays are really too impulsive! Well, why aren’t you coming over to give this old man a hand?"

Gu Nan remained expressionless, completely unaffected by his words, but he gently raised his right hand.

The bearded old man felt a pull, and his body quickly flew to Gu Nan while the latter grabbed his neck.

"How can the Sun Moon Enchanted Box be opened?" Gu Nan\'s flat voice asked.

Although he was a Heroic Spirit, the choking feeling was real. The bearded old man was immediately annoyed, and he only felt a rush of anger— ‘Is this really how you fucking ask for help?!’

So he angrily turned his head to the side without answering, secretly sneering in his heart.

‘This Sun Moon Enchanted Box is a treasure that’s been passed down for many generations. You have to receive both the acknowledgement of the two boxes and my acknowledgement before you can become the treasure’s owner. Only then can you open it. But this fellow in front of me…’

‘Hmph, a youngster who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!’

Gu Nan didn’t have much of a reaction at the old man’s lack of response—to begin with, it was just a casual question asked out of habit to see if he could trigger a mission.

Absentmindedly tossing the old man aside, he picked up the moon box from the villa in his right hand and then began to grip it tightly and forcefully.

When the elderly Heroic Spirit saw this, he almost laughed out loud.

‘This person… actually wants to open the Sun Moon Enchanted Box with brute force?! That’s simply…’

Crack.

A clear cracking noise came, instantly cutting off all of the old man’s thoughts and leaving his mind blank.

Crack, crack.

Two more cracking noises sounded, and in the spot where Gu Nan was gripping, two cracks had already appeared on the moon box, and they were still expanding.

"No… Please don\'t…" The elderly Heroic Spirit hurriedly floated in front of Gu Nan, his voice beginning to tremble, but he didn\'t know how to stop Gu Nan\'s action.

Gu Nan, of course, completely ignored his words, and the next moment, the moon box cracked open completely.

A wisp of smoke floated out of it, forming a little girl in mid-air with a pair of transparent wings behind her. She was lying flat down in front of Gu Nan.

And at the same time, the Evil God Temple in Gu Nan\'s brain shook gently, and a message emerged.

「Side Quest: Protect the twin Heroic Spirits—the sun and moon spirits」

Gu Nan suddenly felt refreshed. As expected, his trip here wasn’t wasted effort. Lin Duo’s strange ancestral box really did have a side quest!

Twin Heroic Spirits—sun and moon spirits?

Gu Nan looked at the little girl in front of her. Sure enough, there was a crescent moon mark on her forehead, and she was surrounded by the dense power of the moon.

If he only looked at the quality of this power, it was even purer than Yue Qianleng’s.

‘As expected of a naturally formed Heroic Spirit…’
