Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sun had set. It was as if there was a non-existent roar that traveled through the sky. It seemed as if a new era had come and everyone was facing their worries.
The young men who adored their crushes. They did not realize that the love letter in their hands had turned wet from their sweat. But in the end, they did not have the courage to send out the love letter.
The uncles who had just reached middle age. They had to bear the many pressures of life on their shoulders. It was as if they had suddenly lost their vitality.
Just as Lu Shu wanted to speak, Lu Xiaoyu continued talking. “Don’t speak. Let me finish. After I returned, I told them that I wanted to become Heavenly King. But Zhong Yutang, that old man, laughed for half an hour.”
Lu Shu gasped in shock. So his point of contact had changed to You Mingyu because…
“Later on, I said that it was fine even if I did not become a Heavenly King. Let me go on assignments. I wanted them to assign me a point of contact to provide information. But that You Mingyu also laughed for half an hour,” said Lu Xiaoyu.
“I don’t actually want to do much out there. I just want to be by your side when you encounter any danger.” Lu Xiaoyu said softly, “In the past, when others tried to bully me at the orphanage, you always protected me. Sometimes, I think about how good it would be if I could do the same for you. But I never had the chance.”
Lu Shu recalled how Lu Xiaoyu had once said that if Lu Shu could not undergo an awakening, then he could stay at home and cook. Lu Xiaoyu would protect him.
Lu Xiaoyu did not think that she had to protect him. She did not want to become a girl who could only depend on him. She wanted to stand with him and occasionally protect him.
“In the past, I wanted to grow up quickly. I thought that the adult world was full of happiness and freedom. Back then, I even wanted my hairstyle to look more mature. But now I know that some adults don’t have hair,” Lu Xiaoyu said with a chuckle.
Lu Shu was shocked.
Suddenly, she stopped laughing and said in a serious tone, “Lu Shu, if anyone bullies you in the future, I will definitely step forward bravely for you. So, will you let me stay by your side?”
Lu Shu felt that he was not lonely at all. When the world returned to its beginning, he was not empty-handed.
He laughed. “What if someone beats me?”
“I will beat them.”
“Then what if someone tries to kill me?”
“I will kill them.”
“Then… what if the entire world wants to kill me?”
Lu Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. It was as if a memory from a certain afternoon had repeated itself. “Then I will wreak havoc in this world.”
Things have come full circle.
When Lu Shu returned from the Collection of Gods and felt the loneliness of this world, Lu Xiaoyu hung up the phone and took an overnight train to the Capital. She opened the door of the internet cafe, allowing the snowstorm to blow into the cafe.
When Lu Shu returned from Europe in a pathetic state, Lu Xiaoyu made a piping hot bowl of noodles with egg for him.
It was the middle of the night. Lu Shu took two bottles of erkuotou 1 and two roasted chickens. He took out the black pearl for the first time in a while.
He entered the Chaos Abyss. Ming Yueye was sitting down with his eyes closed. When Lu Shu came, he said, “If you have no good intentions, please do not harm me…”
The roasted chicken that he had left in the Chaos Abyss was dry…
Lu Shu laughed. He threw the roasted chicken and alcohol at Ming Yueye. This time, Ming Yueye caught them. He was dumbfounded. “Since when were you so generous?”
Lu Shu also did not know why he had come here. Maybe it was because Ming Yueye could not escape. He did not belong to any world. Lu Shu did not feel any pressure when chatting with him.
Ming Yueye tore off a leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He was so touched that he almost cried. “This is amazing!”
“How long have you been here?” Lu Shu sat outside the boundary. He had interacted with Ming Yueye a few times and did not think that he was evil. But Lu Shu would not risk his life. Ming Yueye’s abilities were obviously higher than that of Lu Shu’s. Although he could not sense any waves of energy, could an ordinary person stay in the Chaos Abyss for so long just depending on his Spirit Qi?
“A few years? A few decades? A few centuries? All possible.” Ming Yueye gave an ambiguous answer. “There is no night and day here. How would I know how long I’ve been here?”
“Who locked you up here? Why were you locked up?” Lu Shu asked.
“Asking so many questions with this amount of food?” Ming Yueye laughed. “That won’t be enough. Stop with your questions. This is not something you can handle. I might even send you to your grave.”
“Oh.” Lu Shu stopped talking. He rested his head on his hands and watched Ming Yueye eat.
“Why have you stopped talking?” Ming Yueye asked.
“I’m just silently watching you boast.” Lu Shu said calmly, “You have a lot to say considering the fact that you’ve been locked up here. What have you done? Since you have done so much, why didn’t the person who locked you up just kill you?”
“What do you understand?” Ming Yueye was upset. “She wanted me to be tortured to death by the black fog. But she did not expect that I would be able to survive for this long. Furthermore, you took away the black fog by some weird method. What are your secrets? How were you able to keep the black fog?”
“Why don’t we trade secrets? Tell me who you are, and I’ll tell you who I am.” Lu Shu laughed. He just wanted to talk to someone who could not disclose secrets. Thus, he was now very interested.
“I am the South Lord of Heaven, Wen Zaifou,” said Ming Yueye. “Your turn.”
“Ha ha, you said that last time.” Lu Shu laughed coldly.
“Then I am the West Lord of Heaven Duanmu Huangqi.”
“You said that last time too,” said Lu Shu expressionlessly.
Ming Yueye thought about it and suddenly sighed. “I am a nobody. I’m not worth mentioning.”
Lu Shu suddenly asked, “You talked about the South Lord of Heaven and the West Lord of Heaven. Do they really exist?”
He had always been curious, as it did not seem as if Ming Yueye was making them up.
“Of course they do.” Ming Yueye suddenly grew suspicious. “Where do you come from? Have you never heard of them? Who in the world are you?”
“Me?” Lu Shu laughed. “I am the West Lord of Heaven’s follower, Kasyapa the Venerable.”
“Didn’t you say that you were the East Lord of Heaven’s follower, Kasyapa the Venerable,” said Ming Yueye.
The two of them were silent. After a while, Lu Shu politely and awkwardly laughed out loud. “Your memory is really good…”
Ming Yueye continued to ask, “Who exactly are you? You are not from this world? Why did you ask me if I have ever heard of the Puppet Master back then?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Didn’t you say that you have never heard of the Puppet Master?”
“Hm?” Ming Yueye was dumbfounded. “Chicken really is delicious.”
