Spare Me, Great Lord!

When they had just arrived, the Wei Wu Army were given their own canteen, but it was only because the Heavenly Network did not know much about the Wei Wu Army.

Now, Zhong Yutang had realized that an army a person raised would turn out the same as the person. The Wei Wu Army, who had been brought up by Lu Shu, was definitely not normal.

Slowly, the Wei Wu Army began to eat with the Heavenly Network. Many people even made friends with them. They chatted with one another during meals.

The chefs in the canteen realized that the Wei Wu Army liked eating spicy food. It was mainly because spicy food had more taste than ordinary food. To these rough men, mala¹ was very addictive.

As Hao Zhichao ate, he asked, “Why do you like spicy food so much? What’s so good about spicy food?”

Li Heitan suddenly looked up and looked at Hao Zhichao. “Where are you from?”

Hao Zhichao was dumbfounded. Why did he suddenly ask this? “I am from Chuanzhou.”

Li Heitan was shocked. “Teacher Bai Nuo said that Chuanzhou people like spicy food. If you are from Sichuan, why can’t you eat spicy food?”

Hao Zhichao was amused. “If I am from Chuanzhou, must I eat spicy food? This person on my left is from Mengzhou. Ask him, does he know how to ride a horse? The one on my right is from Luzhou. Ask him, does he know how to operate an excavator?”

The person on Hao Zhichao’s right suddenly said, “I can operate an excavator…”

The person on his left said, “I can ride a horse…”

Hao Zhichao was about to break his bowl. “… so what if I can’t eat spicy food? Is it against the law? Why am I getting so angry everyday even though Lu Shu isn’t in Luo City?”

“From Hao Zhichao’s distress, +199!”

At this moment, they heard Lu Shu’s laughter from outside the canteen. “I didn’t do anything when I was gone, right?!”

Lu Shu had just walked in when he heard Hao Zhichao complain. Then, he immediately saw Hao Zhichao producing distress points for him…

Li Heitan suddenly stood up and looked at the door. “Great Lord, you are back!”

Lu Xiaoyu, who was beside Li Heitan, did not look up. Little Fury was about to run. It was not quite appropriate for it to appear at this kind of place, as it was easy for it to get injured.

But before it could move, Lu Xiaoyu glared at it. Little Fury obediently sat on the table…

Little Fury typically ate with everyone. But the rest sat on chairs, while it sat on the table.

Needless to say, Little Fury had become like a mascot of the Heavenly Network, especially after it eliminated the slave owners in Kun City.

Lu Shu walked to Li Heitan and sat down beside him. He had returned to his apartment, but realized that Lu Xiaoyu was not around. Thus, he had come to the Longmen Fortress. Lu Xiaoyu was eating with the Wei Wu Army.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was rather strange. Lu Shu looked at the food on the plate. He found something to talk about. “Oh, today’s rations are not bad. Hairy crab. I like that.”

At this moment, Li Heitan stood behind Lu Shu with a bowl in his hands. “Great Lord, they said that you had a lot of fun in Japan. Is the food there good?”

In an instant, Chen Zuan looked at Li Heitan in shock. It was as if he had found a friend.

But at the same time, everyone began to eat. There was not even the sound of chopsticks hitting the bottom of the bowl.

Lu Shu was stiff. “The food in Japan will never be as good as the food in China.”

Li Heitan asked, “Teacher Bai Nuo said that the cherry blossoms there are beautiful.”

“No, no,” said Lu Shu.

Li Heitan asked again, “Teacher Bai Nuo said that the names there are different. For example, Matsushima Nanako and Noguchi Nanako¹. Great Lord, when are you bringing us there to play?”

Lu Shu flared up. “Are you done? Didn’t I say that it’s not fun? What’s so amazing about the names? You said that Teacher Bai Nuo taught you this, right? We have names like that in China too.”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Lu Xiaoyu slowly put down her chopsticks. “Tell me, whose name is made up of five characters?”

Lu Shu paused for two seconds. “Leshan Boboji?!”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +666!”

“From Hao Zhichao’s distress, +666!”

“From…”

“You’re crazy.” Lu Xiaoyu could not stand it. She pulled on Lu Shu’s sleeve and walked out of the canteen. Chen Zuan and the rest could only heave a sigh of relief after they left.

Chen Zuan gave Li Heitan a thumbs up. “You have guts. I like that!”

Cheng Qiuqiao glanced at him. “Don’t try to look for trouble.”

Lu Xiaoyu sat on the wall of the Longmen Fortress. She asked, “Did you encounter any danger in Japan?”

Lu Shu thought about it. “It was slightly dangerous, but it was not because of the master that was killed.”

“Are you talking about Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao?” Lu Xiaoyu asked.

“Yes,” said Lu Shu. “I feel that there is something wrong with them, but I don’t know where. Wen Zaifou is an old acquaintance of ours, and Yu Fuyao killed all those slave owners by herself.”

“Why are you overthinking this?” Lu Xiaoyu paid no attention. “You do know that even if you don’t do anything, they will eventually come and find you, right?”

“But I cannot allow them to use the Earth as the battlefield,” said Lu Shu calmly. “That’s right. This time, I brought the spirit of a master back. Who will you choose to inherit the natural law? The Bishop or Johnson? Or the fourth Rank One spirit?”

Lu Xiaoyu was now able to control four spirits, but to be honest, the fourth Rank One spirit could only be used with other spirits. It would not be very powerful. It would not have any special skills either.

Lu Xiaoyu thought about it. “Johnson then, so it’ll be easier to create swords for you. Do you have a way to keep spirits now?”

Lu Shu explained. “Yes. Do you remember the gourd? The one that can twist the heads of others…”

To be honest, Lu Shu was startled as well. He had told Zhong Yutang that he wanted to bring Li Dian in for an interrogation. The gourd had been obtained from Li Dian. Lu Shu wanted to know the origin of the gourd.

Lu Shu thought about it. This head-twisting gourd seemed to be a perfect match with the origin of distress points. Was any ordinary person able to immediately know the name of a stranger? If Lu Shu did not know, he would not be able to use the gourd to its fullest potential either.

Li Dian was on his way to Luo City from Qingzhou. He was rushing over.

Lu Xiaoyu sat on the wall and softly said to Lu Shu, “Should I capture Duanmu Huangqi’s spirit as my fourth spirit? What do you think?”

Lu Shu thought about it. “I think that it’s possible…”
