Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu suddenly asked, “I’m a little curious. Before your magical energy was drained, who were you fighting with which led to the damage to your foundation?”

This had been a question in Lu Shu’s mind all along. Previously, he had asked Li Xianyi, but the old man did not tell him. It should not be a problem to ask Chen Baili now.

Chen Baili shook his head, “I can’t say.”

Lu Shu was momentarily shocked, yet another person who could not say?

At this moment, a surprised scream was heard coming from above the creek, “Lu Shu!”

Lu Shu looked up towards the cliff wall, only to see Lu Xiaoyu’s little face emerging from above the creek. Lu Shu’s mood was instantly lifted. He held the soft fur of Little Fury and leapt up! The leap was over twenty meters wide, yet to him it was as effortless as traversing level ground!

Chen Baili was right beside Lu Shu, hence he had the strongest feelings. The moment when Lu Shu saw his sister, it was as if he was transformed and seemed a little more cheerful.

This pair of siblings…Chen Baili smiled and leapt over too.

However, Chen Baili was utterly shocked upon landing atop the creek. Clustered around Lu Xiaoyu was a large mass of wild beasts…Chen Baili had never seen anyone capable of taming such a large number of magical animals in such a short time, and boy, were they tame!

Yet, this was not the most important part. Chen Baili suddenly noticed that Lu Xiaoyu was carrying a massive dried branch a few meters in length. His gaze followed the tree branch up to fall upon a Chen Zuan hanging on it like a flag…

His body swaying along with Lu Xiaoyu’s motion, Chen Zuan’s face was blank and empty as he was hung by his clothes on the fork of the dried branch.

Lu Shu also looked confused, “Xiaoyu, what’s this all about?”

Lu Xiaoyu replied crisply, “Worshipping Heaven.”

Pah… Lu Shu faltered. Chen Baili’s eyes twitched madly…

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +999…”

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +319…”

Lu Xiaoyu brushed by her chance once again to meet Lu Shu and was therefore furious.

However, to kill Chen Zuan the little fat boy to worship Heaven would not be too realistic. Hence, she had broken off a main branch of a dead tree and hung him up after giving him a good beating.

The good thing was that Lu Shu had also shed some blood when fighting the Class B master, so she had asked the Big Cat to seek out his scent to locate Lu Shu.

If not, Lu Xiaoyu felt that finding Lu Shu would be quite a big problem. Who knows how long would Chen Zuan have to hang on the branch…

“Heh heh, Xiaoyu, let him down first,” Lu Shu said, suppressing a smile.

On top, Chen Zuan almost shed a tear of shame… No matter what, I am still a child of one of the distinguished families in the capital, now that I’ve run into this two siblings, I can only hang on the tree obediently, not that I can be otherwise…

If not for the thought that once out of the remains, the merit could be exchanged for endless amount of great luxury, then used to oppress his fellow mates, he would have killed himself there and then…

However, he could strangely feel no anger towards Lu Xiaoyu… Looking at Lu Xiaoyu made him think as if she was his own sister, a little wilful, a little temperamental. She was merely extraordinarily obedient in front of her brother Lu Shu.

Chen Zuan had once wished of having such a sister, hence he could not bring himself to be angry.

Even though Lu Xiaoyu did not think that… To her, this guy was bent on impeding her in her search for Lu Shu…

“Second Master, save me…” Chen Zuan shouted.

Chen Baili face darkened for a long time, “What a good-for-nothing!:

Chen Zuan was let down by Lu Xiaoyu. Utterly unashamed, he went over to Chen Baili to brag about his achievement, “Second Master, I really performed a meritorious deed this time! I killed a white man master!”

Soon after finishing his sentence, Chen Zuan suddenly noticed Lu Shu and Chen Baili looking at him with an increasingly strange gaze…

His pride instantly deflated, Chen Zuan asked, “Is there a problem…”

Chen Baili asked calmly, “What kind of white man master?”

“I even took a selfie!” Chen Zuan fished out his phone and showed Chen Baili the picture he took with the dead white man master, “He went past underground and I quickwittedly gave the ground a punch which killed him instantly!”

This version was what he had discussed with Lu Xiaoyu. Lu Xiaoyu thus removed herself completely from the whole thing, as if she had never seen the white man master before.

Nonetheless, how could Chen Baili not know the capabilities of his big brother’s chubby little son? However, he did not associate it with Lu Xiaoyu, but looked strangely at Lu Shu.

If Chen Zuan could kill the white man with just a blow, Lu Shu must have already dealt him many lethal blows before that, enough to mortally wound him!

He had previously thought Lu Shu was already good. Come to think of it, he still underestimated this youth!

“Good! Very good!” Chen Baili laughed. He patted Lu Shu on the shoulder, “Really very good.”

Chen Zuan had confusion written across his whole face. I am the one who killed him, why is he the one being patted?

“This is all thanks to your effort,” Chen Baili said. The words had an ominous ring in Chen Zuan’s ears. Had he been exposed before even getting out of the remains?

Lu Shu noticed to his elation that the watch on Chen Zuan’s wrist had disappeared. Everything was now clear as day. “This is not an issue. Chen Zuan and I became fast friends upon meeting. Let him have all the credit.”

Chen Baili said, “Yes, this is right too. Your merit is great enough. Moreover, all these are simply redundant embellishment. If my Chen family take this credit, other good things will come to you too, when you leave the remains.”

Who says a Heavenly King would be utterly selfless? Defending the nation’s border, that is a responsibility. There was nothing wrong in wishing for one’s own family to prosper. Chen Baili only went up the mountains because he had gotten into big trouble a long time ago, he had not done so because he wanted no part in worldly desires or to pursue a life of peace and quietude.

Lu Shu’s eyes sparkled when he heard of “other good things”. Others may not mean what they say, but how is it possible for a Heavenly King to lie?

No, wrong… Forget about the likes of Heavenly Kings such as Li Yixiao. Chen Baili still could be trusted.

Chen Zuan became muddle-headed after listening to their exchange. What has this got to do with Lu Shu? Lu Xiaoyu, on the other hand, knew in all certainty. When she made the split-second decision to kill, she had been certain that the missing parts of the soul was removed by Lu Shu. Lu Shu must have fought with this person, and it must have been a mortal combat. If not, Corpsedog would not have been used.

Therefore, once Chen Baili opened his mouth, Lu Xiaoyu immediately knew that he must be a knowing party. However, she steadfastly refused to say anything, and no one knew the person who gained the most from this battle was still her…

With so many outsiders around, Lu Xiaoyu was becoming flustered. She really wanted to let Lu Shu know that she had gotten hold of the white man’s soul.

Not only that, she even took the man’s most prized possession, the ring!

Till now, with Chen Zuan beside her, she had been unable to check what was inside. The memory fragments also had no memory pertaining to this. Must have been lost after he died.

However, Lu Xiaoyu was very certain that all of the white man master’s assets were within.
