After running out of the blacksmith store, Wang Yu was puzzled once more… In such a vast world, where could he find Simba’s Soul of the Gods?
Simba was now a senile old man who did not even remember how he became incapacitated so he had no idea where to start at all.
As Wang Yu was in deep thought, he mysteriously arrived at the small alley opposite the blacksmith store.
“Oh, what am I doing here?” Wang Yu raised his head and looked around. This was Hermit’s territory.
Wang Yu was hesitating if he should greet Hermit but Hermit appeared uninvited by rolling to Wang Yu’s feet like a dead puppy.
“Alcohol, do you have alcohol?” Hermit asked with his hands extended out shivering as he looked pale.
“Sigh… What is this? The designer definitely hates old people. All of them look so miserable.” Wang Yu mumbled then took out a bottle of wine from his bag and gave Hermit a huge gulp of it.
“Woah, it’s you. Why are you looking for me?” Hermit saw that it was Wang Yu and felt happy. He used his dirty sleeve to wipe his mouth then asked drunkenly.
“Sir, you are a respected master. How can you live like this?” Wang Yu questioned with no courtesy. Was Hermit also devastated like Simba?
Hearing what Wang Yu said, Hermit’s eyebrows frowned and upsetly said, “Young lad, how dare you interfere with my affairs?”
“Hmm, fine… but do you want to drink wine?” Wang Yu squinted his eyes then swirled the bottle of wine.
“Yes…” Hermit pathetically gave in instantly.
Wang Yu put the bottle on the floor then said, “I have wine but do you have a story to tell?”
“I do, but you can’t ask about me,” Hermit said with caution.
“Alright… I am not interested in your trivial matters.” Wang Yu pointed at the blacksmith store opposite and said, “You and Simba are very close, right?”
Actually, Wang Yu knew that they were drinking buddies.
“Yeap, quite!” Hermit nodded.
“Tell me, when did he lose his Soul of the Gods?” Wang Yu asked.
Hermit picked up the bottle of wine, took a mouthful, then said, “Divinity is extremely precious. Only the bravest and strongest warriors deserve to have it. Look at Simba. Of course, he lost it when he was at his most dispirited time.
“Then when was he the most dispirited?” Wang Yu asked again.
Once Wang Yu asked, Hermit’s eyes turned perplexed. He hugged the bottle and said in deep thoughts, “A man is only dispirited when he is in immense pain and sadness.”
“Oh? That means you had been in pain and sadness before too?” Wang Yu started to change the topic.
“It is a long story. Back then… Rascal, didn’t we agree not to ask about me?” Just as Hermit was about to say something, he instantly reacted.
“Hehe!” Wang Yu chuckled and said, “Don’t be bothered by these details. By the way, when was Simba the saddest?”
Hermit said, “Ask him. He never told me. However, seeing what he is like, obviously, it was over a woman. How useless.”
Hey, this old man was a pot calling the kettle black. He really did not have much rights to laugh at others.
Wang Yu thought that he could dig something out from Hermit but after speaking for so long, he realised that Hermit and Simba were simply drinking buddies and he did not know much about Simba. Other than finding out that a man was easily dispirited when he was sad, he found nothing else.
Helpless Wang Yu left two bottles of wine for Hermit then left the alley. With his last resort, Wang Yu asked on Quan Zhen Sect’s guild chat, “If you guys have relationship issues, when will you be the saddest?”
“Hehe, I have no one!”
As usual, Quan Zhen Sect’s style of response was to show off.
“Brother Spring? Aren’t you married? @Springscent” Wang Yu tagged Spring Halo.
Spring Halo proudly said, “Why would I have relationship issues? Once my wife is angry, I will just kneel down.”
“Oh? So impressive?” Wang Yu was shocked as he did not think that Spring Halo was so mighty at home.
“Of course, my kneeling skills are pretty great.” The next sentence exposed Spring Halo’s true status at home.
“…” Wang Yu was stunned at Spring Halo’s unique personality.
Fearless stirred matters and said, “Clear Snow, weren’t you and Old Bull ambiguous for a while? Share about it?”
“Do you want to die?” Yang Nuo sent a killer emoticon into the chat. Fearless laughed then disappeared.
Just then, Mu Zixian who did not really talk on the chat suddenly said, “If I am sad, it would be because you married someone else. I think I will lose all hope.”
“Indeed! Mrs Bull is right.” Boson agreed with her.
“What are you saying. We will never be apart. I love you…” Wang Yu trembled upon hearing what Mu Zixian said. He shamelessly publicly expressed his love for her on the chat.
“Damn, the two of you, scram!” Fearless saw what went on then decisively muted the two of them to save everyone.
Although Wang Yu was muted by Fearless, because of what Mu Zixian said just now, Wang Yu had some clues.
It seemed highly likely that Simba was dispirited due to Ally getting married.
At this thought, Wang Yu ran to the City Hall. Wylie was working in the main hall as he had become the acting City Lord.
Ignoring Wylie who was busy with his own things, Wang Yu ran to the backyard and found Ally who was sitting there in a daze, and asked, “When you guys got married, did you tell Simba?”
“Why are you asking this?” Ally questioned him instead.
“You think I actually want to ask?” Wang Yu gave Ally a cold look. Inside, he was extremely against this immoral quest.
“We invited him!” Ally said coldly, “He also went to the wedding. I remember Simba sat in a corner and cried painfully. In the end, he even got extremely drunk. I have let him down.”
Although Ally said that she was sorry, she did not sound sorry. Instead, she sounded arrogant. This made Wang Yu mad.
“Great that you know you let him down!” Wang Yu upsetly dismissed Ally, then asked again, “Where did you hold the wedding?”
“City of Hope!” Happiness appeared on Ally’s face.
Ally just finished speaking and Wang Yu received a notification on a change in the quest.
<Quest changes: Femme fatale has been around since history and even heroes fall into honey traps. Naturally, the precious divinity would not stay with such a useless man. Hence, in the City of Hope, Divine Blacksmith, Simba, was demoted to a mortal.
Quest objective: Go to the City of Hope to look for Simba’s Soul of the Gods.>
Indeed, Simba’s dispirit was due to Ally. No one knew what this woman was thinking when she invited Simba to her wedding. Was it to kill all his hope or was it a token of appreciation for his love? Or was it for the gift money?
Wang Yu thought with disgust and left the City Hall unhappily.
Honestly speaking, Wang Yu had never hated a quest as much as this one.
Initially, when he sent letters for Ally, Wang Yu did not like it but now, he obviously disliked it and wanted to give up this quest… However, in consideration for Simba, Wang Yu had to suppress those thoughts.
