Chapter 145: Jin Dabao’s Diabolical Laughter

Mu Rong Yi furrowed her brows, looking troubled. Qin Yu and Zhao Meng, who had been waiting for her answer, grew somewhat anxious.
“Mu Rong, if something’s bothering you, just tell us!” Zhao Meng urged.
Mu Rong Yi nodded. “Last night, while I was cultivating, I suddenly sensed a familiar aura. But when I tried to investigate it, the aura had already vanished without a trace. It only appeared for an instant—so briefly that I thought I must have imagined it. But after hearing your question today, I think it probably wasn’t an illusion after all.”
“A familiar aura? Can you be more specific?” Qin Yu asked.
Mu Rong Yi shook her head helplessly. “Even now, I still have no idea what that aura was. I’m sorry!”
Qin Yu shook her head. “Don’t blame yourself. On the contrary, we’re grateful to you. At least we have a lead now.”
Though it was hardly a lead at all, Qin Yu added silently to herself.
“Hahahahaha! I’m dying! Hahahahahaha!”
An outrageously arrogant voice suddenly rang out in the room, startling everyone.
They tried to locate the source of the voice, only to discover that it seemed to be coming from every corner of the room. There was no way to determine where it originated.
Mu Rong Yi rubbed her temples and said with a deeply exasperated expression, “Golden Treasure, stop fooling around and come out already!”
The voice gave a cold snort. Then everyone saw a small, glittering golden robot appear beside Mu Rong Yi.
That’s right—a robot the color of pure gold! It was so dazzling that it nearly blinded them all.
Qin Yu’s lips twitched almost imperceptibly. She turned to Mu Rong Yi and asked, “What is that?”
“This is the Spirit of Gold. It claims its name is Golden Treasure,” Mu Rong Yi replied helplessly.
Qin Yu’s mouth twitched again. She nodded, then turned to Golden Treasure. “Come here, Golden Treasure. Tell big sister what you’re laughing about.”
Golden Treasure turned around and stared at Qin Yu with a pair of dazzling golden eyes. Then it flew over to her, circled her several times, and finally burst into another string of unrestrained laughter.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
Everyone looked at one another.
What was wrong with this Golden Treasure? It had been laughing ever since it appeared. Perhaps it should change its name to Golden Ha-Ha. It certainly loved to laugh.
The corner of Zhao Meng’s mouth twitched. She lunged forward, grabbed Golden Treasure, and snarled, “Answer Little Yu’s question already!”
Golden Treasure merely cried, “Hahahahahahahaha!”

Zhao Meng clenched her fists, producing a series of sharp cracks.
Golden Treasure visibly shrank back.
Then its body actually melted.
It melted!
Everyone stared in astonishment.
Was this a Transformer?
Unfortunately, the Transformer they were anticipating never appeared. Instead, Golden Treasure transformed into a tiny golden person who looked exactly like Zhao Meng.
Golden Treasure remained dazzlingly golden, of course.
It reached out with its little claws and felt the two bulges on its own chest. Puzzled, it said, “Hard.”
Then it reached over and touched Zhao Meng’s chest.
“Soft.”
Zhao Meng, this thing is a pervert! A complete pervert!
The veins on Zhao Meng’s forehead bulged. Just as she was about to squeeze Golden Treasure into a little golden ball, it suddenly began to speak.
“Golden Treasure isn’t soft at all. Golden Treasure is a hard, bad child! Big Boss Emperor Heart is definitely going to hate Golden Treasure now! Boo-hoo-hoo!”
Everyone stood there in a daze.
In the end, Mu Rong Yi pulled Golden Treasure into her arms and said, “I don’t hate you.”
Golden Treasure sniffled. “Really?”
Mu Rong Yi nodded solemnly. “Really. I will never hate you.”
Though your sense of aesthetics is truly extraordinary.
Naturally, Mu Rong Yi only dared to say that in her heart.
Hearing this, Golden Treasure immediately relaxed. Then it began laughing again.
“Hahahahahaha!”
Mu Rong Yi suddenly felt that she was an idiot. There was no way this fellow had actually been upset.
Several minutes later, Golden Treasure finally laughed itself out. Nestled in Mu Rong Yi’s arms, it pointed at Qin Yu and said, “So you’re the Spirit of Life! Why are you so weak? How are you ever going to defeat our Big Boss Emperor Heart like this?”
Qin Yu desperately wanted to say: I don’t even know who your Big Boss Emperor Heart is. Why should I compete with it?
But before she could speak, Golden Treasure continued, “If Big Boss Emperor Heart finds out that you’re this weak, it’ll send you back to the furnace for reconstruction. Ah! Right, what about the Spirit of Darkness? That fellow should be very powerful by now, shouldn’t it? After all, the world has already become like this.”
“The Spirit of Darkness?” Qin Yu asked, puzzled.
“Of course! You still haven’t met that fellow? How strange! But you’ll meet eventually. Wahaha! I can’t wait to see the battle between you and Big Boss Emperor Heart!”
Golden Treasure gazed into the distance with longing.
“Forget that for now. I want to know why you started laughing in the first place,” Qin Yu asked.
Her instincts told her that Golden Treasure definitely knew something.

“Because Master Mu Rong is an idiot!” Golden Treasure declared, as though stating an obvious fact.
Mu Rong Yi’s body stiffened. She drew a deep breath and silently reminded herself:
Don’t get angry. Don’t get angry.
“Why do you say that?” Qin Yu continued.
“Because Master Mu Rong is the owner of Golden Treasure, yet she failed to sense the existence of Water Plenty! She’s making me lose face!” Golden Treasure replied arrogantly.
“Water Plenty?” Qin Yu asked.
“The Spirit of Water! Big Boss Emperor Heart said it had lots of water, so it named it Water Plenty,” Golden Treasure explained.
Everyone struggled to hold back their laughter.
The naming ability of this so-called Big Boss Emperor Heart was truly “formidable.”
“So, according to you, that familiar aura Mu Rong sensed was actually the Spirit of Water?” Qin Yu asked.
Golden Treasure nodded. “Since Master Mu Rong carries my aura, it’s only natural that she would be able to sense the presence of one of my kind. But she actually failed to recognize it! Hmph! Don’t ever tell Water Plenty that you didn’t recognize it.”
At that moment, Mu Rong Yi felt deeply wronged.
How was she supposed to know that the familiar sensation had come from the Spirit of Water, a being she had never even seen?
“Fine! I’ll forgive you this time!” Golden Treasure said magnanimously, perhaps sensing Mu Rong Yi’s grief and indignation.
Hearing that, Mu Rong Yi only felt even more miserable.
“Spirit of Life, listen to me!” Golden Treasure suddenly said with great seriousness. “Although you were not born from the same source as us, the five of us have always respected you. But if you intend to use us against Big Boss Emperor Heart, that is absolutely impossible!”
Qin Yu nodded. All she wanted to say was that Golden Treasure’s talent for wild assumptions was every bit as impressive as its Big Boss Emperor Heart’s talent for naming things.
“Golden Treasure, let me ask you something. Do you know what Water Plenty did last night?” Zhao Meng hurriedly cut in, seeing the conversation drift further and further off course.
Golden Treasure shook its head. “No idea. The five of us have always attended only to our own affairs. Aside from being summoned by Big Boss Emperor Heart, we’ve never met privately. Come to think of it, the five of us haven’t seen one another in several thousand years. Big Boss Emperor Heart…”
