Chapter 170
Ah Zhao has sensed the call of another world a few hundred years ago .
She could have left for somewhere of a higher level, cutting the virtual space in front of her open with a slight move of her hand .
But Gu Hao is still here .
Nobody knows what will follow after the virtual space is broken or whether they will end up in the same place . So, she can’t leave yet .
That’s why she has been repressing her power for the past few hundred years . She avoids showing her power as much as possible, hiding herself from the detection of the rules of this world .
“Of course, I’ll wait for you . I’ve promised that I’ll stay by your side forever . ” Ah Zhao says with a smile .
Gu Hao is quiet for a second .
He has occupied himself with cultivation in the hope that he won’t hold her back someday .
However, up to now he has been holding her back .
“I’ll work harder . ” He says with all seriousness .
“I’ll practice with all speed and won’t let you wait for long . ”
Ah Zhao grabs another handful of snow and throws it at him .
“It makes no difference for me whether I ascend or not as long as I’m with you . ”
It's freezing cold on the mountain . However, the two who live there never feel cold since they have each other .
Another 200 years go by .
Gu Hao finally make that leap and ascends to the level where Ah Zhao is .
Though Ah Zhao has already finished her task during their ages together, she refuses to go to the next task when cotton candy asks her to .

“I’ve promised him that I’ll be by his side forever and I mean what I have said . ”
On this day, the mountain is visited by warm sunshine which is quite rare .
The two of them sense something deep within and look at the sky, holding each other by hand .
Colorful clouds appear in the sky and a ray of golden glow breaks out in the middle of the air which grows into an immense fissure filled with endless light .
Behind the light lies unknown temptation .
Gu Hao and Ah Zhao look face to face . With their hands held together, they smile at each other and walk into that golden light .
The end of this story .
As soon as Ah Zhao returns to that pure white space where she was born, she finds cotton candy and asks: “Can I cancel that damn skill now?”
Cotton candy is easy to negotiate with: “Absolutely, host . ”

Ah Zhao is relieved: “Good . I don't want it anymore . ”
Cotton candy flashes and asks softly: “Then are you going to start the next task or do you want to have a little rest?”
Looking at this space she's in right now where she simply has cotton candy, without another figure or color, she finds herself reluctant to stay .
Tasks are more fun .
In the worlds where she does her tasks, not only does she have delicious food, more importantly, she has a male lead .
She says decisively: “Next task . ”
Cotton candy answers feebly: “All right . ”
Then he adds: “Do you want to choose your skill ahead of the task?”

Ah Zhao: “ . . . ”
Recalling that crap of a skill in the last world, she hesitates: “Can I give up on it?”
Cotton candy flashes: “Sure . ”
“Well . ” Ah Zhao lets out a sigh of relief . “Then I don't want it . Take me to the world of the next task . ”
“All right, host . Assign task world, assign proper identity, assignment completed . ”
After a moment of familiar dizziness, Ah Zhao finds herself standing in a valley .
This valley looks very unnatural with petals all over the place - both on the ground and in the air . In the valley, all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, flowers of all four seasons as far as Ah Zhao could recognize .
It is indeed beautiful but looks a little fake .
