Chapter 80: 7th instance: Vampire’s Banquet (part 4 of 4)

Quite obviously, this aforementioned father of Gu Wuji has the highest position in the family, and would normally go out and get drunk at the drop of the hat. He most likely doesn’t work much as well, which caused the family to be this impoverished.

As for this mother, she was a pitiful wife. Although she resents her husband very much, but she dared not fight back. Even when this eventually affected her daughter, the most she did was to let the her escape.

Gu Wuji’s sense of justice suddenly skyrocketed. He patted her shoulder, and said: “No, mom. On the contrary, I want to enter the castle.”

“What?” The woman looked at Gu Wuji anxiously, “Don’t be crazy! You mustn’t exchange your life to settle the huge debt that man owes! You’re still far too young.”

Alright, it looks like this family currently has a huge amount of debt. Gu Wuji felt that he most likely has the poorest family in this whole instance.

“I haven’t gone crazy.” Gu Wuji expressed: “I merely have some matter that needs to be done. I’ve already decided on this matter as well.”

His very resolute gaze, had actually made the woman bereft of speech for an instant. That she could only sigh, “If it hadn’t been for your biological father to leave so early…….”

As it turns out, this was also a stepfather storyline.

“By the way, mom, do you know what are the general criterion for the selection of the castle?” Gu Wuji asked again.

This was undeniably an important aspect that affects the completion of the mainline task. Although Gu Wuji believes that choosing this path wasn’t necessarily the only means to mix into the castle. However, the more information he knows, the more advantages he would gain.

“I don’t know much about this as well.” The woman explained, “This was all what that man had heard from outside. As soon as he heard that a great deal of money could be obtained in exchange for a maid, he then immediately went to ask around.”

“I see.” Gu Wuji nodded.

The woman flusteredly saw Gu Wuji directly enter the bedroom, and lay down on the only bed available to sleep in.

Gu Wuji was still quite satisfied with the bed. This mother was really virtuous. The bed had quite obviously been washed not so long ago. Although it was very clean and neat, but it was still really very worn-out.

Seeing that Gu Wuji was really about to fall asleep, the woman panicked once more, “That man will definitely get angry once he returns to see you lying there!”

“It doesn’t matter. You can just call me once he comes back.” Gu Wuji had already closed his eyes to sleep after saying this.

There was nothing the woman could do about this. But she suddenly felt as if her daughter has become more assertive.

——

The next day, Gu Wuji was awakened by a man’s loud voice.

Although this individual had a sturdy body, but his steps were very unsteady. The man with an incredibly unkempt beard marched into the room, with a fiercely furious glare directed at Gu Wuji.

“What’s going on?” Gu Wuji rubbed his eyes and sat up.

It came to his attention, that even though this man looks like a good-for-nothing person, but he also wasn’t just an ordinary good-for-nothing scumbag. After all, every time the other person’s unsteady steps came in contact with the ground, it would cause a slight vibration.

If an average player were to step up to teach this stepfather a lesson, they might probably be the one who will be taught a lesson instead, which would probably lead to them in doubting life at that time.

What’s more, the other’s formidable strength, which was no more than this instance’s setting, was simply unreasonable. This kind of settings were truly sinister.

“Who allowed you to sleep there? Only the straw bed outside is yours. Get off from there!” The middle-aged man rebuked, then raised his hand with the intention to beat the other.

Upon seeing this act, the woman anxiously stepped forward, and grabbed the middle-aged man, “The child had just returned through great difficulty. She might have just been too tired. So, just let her off this time, okay?”

However, the middle-aged man had quite obviously been unswayed by her words, as he rudely shook off his wife instead. The woman then fell down onto the floor, and desperately thought of going out to try seek help from others.

When the other’s clenched fist was about to fall, Gu Wuji casually said, “If your punch disfigures me, then you wouldn’t be able to sell me off as a maid in the castle, ah.”

The middle-aged man’s action immediately halted upon hearing Gu Wuji’s words. The clenched fist stilled in midair for a long time. In this critical juncture, it was still profit that instantly made the middle-aged man clear-headed.

The woman also sighed in relief. But the thought of sending her daughter in the castle, which equivalent to throwing the other’s life away, made her feel an excruciating pain once more.

“I’ll let you off today-……”

Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, his clenched fist was grabbed by Gu Wuji.

“What do you think you’re doing?” The middle-aged man instantly flew into rage. He then faintly noticed something wrong at this moment. Why was the other’s grip strength, being exerted on his clenched fist, unlike a weak girl at all?

Nonetheless, Gu Wuji didn’t wait for the middle-aged man to react, and had already punched him hard on the face.

The middle-aged man immediately burst in a shocking scream. Cracking sounds could be heard from the gripped clenched fist, as he eventually directly fell down on his knees before Gu Wuji.

An average player might have undoubtedly been beaten by this person. But how could Gu Wuji be the same as those players? He hates this kind of scumbags the most.

“Don’t think that you-……” Although the middle-aged man had suffered from a shock, but since he was used to being insufferably arrogant, he subconsciously wanted to say spiteful words, which resulted to another hard punch on his face.

Gu Wuji in any case, had still bought some martial art skills some time ago, so he naturally thought of putting his achievements into practice at this time. Of course, he didn’t harbor any intention in to beating this man to death. But if the other had really been hit too hard, then, didn’t he still have his healing ability to heal him?

Under the woman’s stupefied gaze, Gu Wuji, this seemingly delicate and beautiful-looking girl, pinned the middle-aged man down and gave him a good beating, until the other could no longer spout any spiteful words.

After an elapsed period of time.

Gu Wuji was seated on a chair, while the woman dazedly stood behind him. As for that constantly insufferably arrogant middle-aged man, he was currently kneeling on the floor, while subserviently looking up at Gu Wuji, “Just ask any questions you have. I definitely won’t hide anything, so long as it’s within my knowledge.”

“Alright. Then tell me, what are the requirements needed for a maid to be hired in the castle?”

While asking this, Gu Wuji still felt that the starting point of this instance wasn’t that difficult at all.

……as a matter of fact, if it was an average player, overpowering this stepfather here was simply an impossible thing to do, as they would simply be under the mercy of this stepfather later. All their actions would be restricted, even their scope in going out would be affected. Under such circumstances, they would have a very hard time to gather information, which would consequently cause the task’s difficulty to shoot up as well.

In the meantime, all the other players were also currently facing against various troubles from their respective families. So, they were unable to have any extra time at this moment. This was the severity of an intermediate instance.

However, this stepfather was nothing more than a fledgling in Gu Wuji’s hands.
