Chapter 102: Lu Xiaoyu’s trick! (Part 1)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

“Ahem,” Lu Shu felt really guilty for tricking Lu Xiaoyu into absorbing that pig and then destroying the soul puppet… historical

But it wasn’t the same this time as Lu Shu said righteously, “We need to trust each other. Am I the kind to trick others?”

“You are,” Lu Xiaoyu stared at Lu Shu expressionlessly.

“Hear what you’re saying, what kind of person do you think I am?!” Lu Xiaoyu’s words made Lu Shu upset.

“When you trick people, you’re basically heartless,” Lu Xiaoyu, still expressionless, replied.

But the common bickering aside, Lu Xiaoyu knew that Lu Shu must have something important. He was chasing after 3 fugitives!

But they could not just go as Li Xianyi was living just next door. Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu discussed their ploy and Lu Xiaoyu suggested to say that Lu Shu was bringing her out for supper.

Lu Shu thought her idea was not bad!

The two of them started chatting about how they were going to the inexpensive night food street’s ‘Little Haven restaurant’ for supper as they walked out.

Only after walking at least one kilometer away did the both of them start hopping across roofs towards the north. Li Xianyi mentioned that no one could spy on him within the radius of one kilometer and so they walked a kilometer first…

Lu Xiaoyu, who was following behind Lu Shu, felt good that the two them were doing something secretive together. It was like a secret between the two of them which no one else knew!

Thinking about it made Lu Xiaoyu smile.

Having reached about one kilometer away from from the site of the fight, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu stopped, “Use your little sparrow to do a recce. Make sure it flies high so that no one else would notice and head north for roughly one km. Let me know if you see anyone suspicious. If it’s not feasible today, we can come another day or just give it up. In any case, we can’t take any risk.”

Lu Shu knew that the Heavenly Network had no reason to stay guard here and from the previous incident, the members of the Heavenly Network seemed like the sort to leave the place immediately after they were done. But it was better to be safe than sorry.

And Lu Xiaoyu also had her little sparrow which could expand her view coverage.

The two of them sat in the corner of a rooftop as the black smoke transformed into a little sparrow which flew off towards the north. Lu Shu also wished to test the range of Lu Xiaoyu’s power.

He sat there and looked through his income records. A bunch of unknown names contributed nearly 9000 distress points but he had no idea which name belonged to that fugitive and which names were from the Heavenly Network. He was too focused during the battle that he had no time to notice this.

After a rough calculation of his recent income minus the points needed for the lottery, he estimated that after exchanging these points for celestial fruits and with some training, he could light up the 3rd star. The celestial energy needed for the 3rd star was equivalent to 20 celestial fruits.

This made Lu Shu realize that battles with others would be quite beneficial.

But deep down, he did not wish for such things to happen. His main objective was to improve his standard of living, not to kill.

And so, Lu Shu did not see this as a viable source of income.

Today’s battle had benefited him a lot and gave his confidence a boost.

Previously, he did not know what Class of metahuman or practitioner he could beat but now he knew.

Lu Shu had a question. If he were to face those 3 fugitives’ attacks which were meant to kill, would he have been able to retreat successfully? Lu Shu felt that it was probable. After all, his celestial cloak could negate the damage and judging from the energy waves they were emitting, although his celestial powers were still of Class E, the other two Class Es were still weaker than him.

After a while, Lu Xiaoyu finally told Lu Shu, “no one suspicious, what’s next?”

Lu Shu thought for a moment, “Stay here and wait for my message.”

He put his celestial cloak on and hurried to the location. Honestly, he was afraid that there were people waiting in ambush but he was, in reality, being overly paranoid. Lu Shu stood in that alley for a full 30 minutes but no one approached him. He also acted like he was leaving but there was still no movement.

Only at this moment did Lu Shu confirm that he was just over-thinking but he felt that it was necessary. Only by being careful could one last the long-term

Lu Shu messaged Lu Xiaoyu who then quickly jumped over.

Lu Shu asked, “Can you feel the souls in this place?”

“I can,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded, “A big, tall man and two slightly shorter ones.”

Lu Shu nodded, “Can you absorb the tall one?”

“Sure I can, it’s done,” Lu Xiaoyu acknowledged.

“Let’s go!” Lu Shu once again brought Lu Xiaoyu along and hopped and jumped away.

“Can you conjure him up?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

Lu Xiaoyu tried for a moment, “Seems like… I don’t have enough celestial power. It’s not impossible but it’s going to take some time. I estimate it would take about one full day to completely conjure him.”

Lu Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief. This was their greatest reward that night!

By the looks of it, even if they had to battle, it was as though they had an extra Class D strength-type metahuman for help! This was a significant increase in power. And if there was a need to worry about Lu Xiaoyu’s safety, he could let Lu Xiaoyu enlist the help of this soul while she hid.

Lu Xiaoyu’s power seemed really useful!

“Let’s go home,” Lu Shu happily said. As of now, nothing else could make him as happy as increasing their power.

But Lu Xiaoyu shook her head, “We can’t go back yet, we still need to have supper at the Little Haven.”

Lu Shu replied, “Yeah, that’s our excuse to hide the truth from the old man.”

“No, you promised me,” Lu Xiaoyu reasoned.

Lu Shu, “??? When did I promise you?”

Lu Xiaoyu explained, “Think about it, we said we were going out for supper but we return with empty stomachs. Do you think that’s believable?

“…” Lu Shu pondered, what you’re saying actually makes sense!

He was excited. This could be a celebration for tonight’s success and when the young lady wanted to eat something, how could he reject her!

The cold-tossed vegetables and Dandan noodles of the Little Haven were food the young lady had constantly craved for after trying them just once.

Since they were not lacking money, this kind of request was still reasonable.

The two of them found a right time to hop off the roof and made their way there chattily.

No one knew the huge incident that happened between them tonight.
