Chapter 1553: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (15)

After breakfast, Tang Guo and the others headed toward the location of the Happiness Tree.

By the time they arrived, they found a sea of people. Countless individuals sat surrounding a massive ancient tree. Its trunk was so thick that it would take ten people linking arms to encircle it. Above the trunk spread countless branches covered in lush foliage, layer upon layer of overlapping leaves.

At the moment the sun rose, the dark green leaves glistened brilliantly beneath its rays.

As they drew closer, everyone except Tang Guo was dumbfounded.

The people gathered beneath the Happiness Tree were all muttering something to themselves.

From a distance, the place had sounded like an indistinct cacophony.

But up close, they suddenly heard someone beside them raise his head toward the Happiness Tree and murmur softly,

“I'm so happy. I'm truly so happy. I'm happy every single day.”

“Tree, oh tree, believe me. I'm really happy.”

“Tree, oh tree, I am the happiest person.”

…

Yin Xiaofei held back her breath before whispering, “Have they all gone crazy?”

Yi Yingxue, however, had sharp eyes and noticed that each person had a basket placed in front of them.

Tang Guo quietly stood to the side, found an empty spot, took out a cushion, and sat cross-legged upon it.

The others looked at her in confusion.

Then they heard her mutter as well,

“I am the happiest person.”

The smile blooming across Tang Guo's face when she spoke those words caused everyone to freeze.

Sunlight fell gently upon her, and the smile on her face radiated such genuine happiness that anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel it too.

Whether it was an illusion or not, they all believed she truly was the happiest person.

The system felt his energy rising at an astonishing rate.

He couldn't help wondering which world his host was recalling to feel such overwhelming happiness.

The rate of increase was enough to frighten him.

Zhai Chenming couldn't understand it either. Then he noticed that Tang Guo had also placed a basket before her, which left him even more puzzled.

Recalling how Tang Guo could casually say she was happy and receive a thousand Rubik's Cube Coins, Yi Yingxue hesitated before saying,

“How about we try it too? No matter what happens, there shouldn't be any downside.”

Over the past few days, they had already realized that as long as they stayed within Happiness City, their lives weren't in danger.

And fighting seemed forbidden within the city.

Previously, they had seen two people get into a fight, only to be punished by the residents and forbidden from staying inside the city for one night.

With such punishments in place, Happiness City truly deserved its name. As long as one avoided violence and had enough Rubik's Cube Coins, one would be safe during this month.

Therefore, Yi Yingxue believed that imitating these people and Tang Guo wouldn't cost them anything, even if they gained nothing in return.

“Then I'll go get some baskets.”

Zhai Chenming agreed.

Soon, he returned with several baskets. The four of them sat beside Tang Guo and awkwardly followed along, muttering about how happy they were, looking rather foolish.

【Host, Yi Yingxue really is smart. A heroine this clever will definitely become an obstacle when you decide to kill Zhai Chenming in the future.】

The system wasn't suggesting they do anything to Yi Yingxue. He was simply stating a fact.

“If she manages to stop me, then that's her ability. If she can't, she'll just have to endure it.”

Tang Guo simply didn't care what Yi Yingxue might become in the future.
