Sat on the edge of the rooftop, Lu Shu sighed, his arms supported him from behind, “I want to go not only to stay clear of trouble, but mainly to teach those Practitioner-trafficking organizations a lesson since they’ve got some clues. Or maybe, I can send them down to hell to visit their victims. I was never a generous person after all…”

“It’s called being a miser. Euphemisms…” Lu Xiaoyu mumbled.

“Yes?”

“I think it’s good,” Lu Xiaoyu smiled, her face was even more adorable under the mild moonlight.

Language was a powerful tool. Stingy could be called being unsympathetic, having poor grades all the time could be described as consistent performance, and even a bully could be said as someone with good manual dexterity. Only those who mastered it would truly appreciate its beauty.

Many years ago, there was even a proposal to replace Chinese characters with Pinyin. Lu Shu found their argument unbelievable.

Despite Lu Shu’s stinginess, his greed for money and many other imperfections, Lu Xiaoyu still liked him. She was the reason for his anger and his will to make money. In the past, Lu Xiaoyu already knew that no one could ever be better to her than Lu Shu when he was adding up his change, coin by coin and counted down the date until he could finally buy her a new set of clothes.

Back then, Lu Shu would give her a red packet every Chinese New Year. He would purposely make a trip to the bank and exchange a pile of coins and crumpled notes for new notes, just in case she might be looked down upon for only having a pocket of small change. But Lu Xiaoyu did not really care, because she knew Lu Shu earned the money through his own sweat and blood.

But Lu Shu cared.

This time, he killed three people and his anger had burned for so long. At the end of the day, it was still for her.

In fact, Lu Xiaoyu had never seen Lu Shu irritated by anything unrelated to her… except for once, when he received fake money…

At the end of the day, it did not matter. None of it did. The only thing that mattered was Lu Xiaoyu’s happiness.

Lu Shu was her entire world. She would kill anybody in Lu Shu’s way. The rest was of negligible importance.

Lu Shu had his own set of principles, and Lu Xiaoyu’s was Lu Shu. If it was nothing but a mistake, then till the end, just let it be,.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu inquired, “Then, can you bring me along this time?”

Lu Shu pondered for a moment, “Yes. The condition I told Li Yixiao was to bring you along. In any case, Anthony will significantly boost our chances of success, for there’s a Class B in our enemy’s team. Furthermore, our traffic, food and accommodation fares will be fully sponsored by the Heavenly Network. It’s 560 yuan per day, though it’s not a big sum of money for us now.”

Lu Xiaoyu shot him a mocking glimpse, look how proud you are…

The enemy Class B was well hidden. Even the Heavenly Network itself might not be aware of it had Lu Shu not stolen Meng Yue’s memory. But the Network was by no means at fault, because the person’s ascension from C to B was just a recent occurrence.

Lu Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, “When do we head off?”

“The day after tomorrow, illegally. Li Yixiao’s a burden. He’s now in the blacklist, so he won’t be allowed to cross their border…” Lu Shu pursed his lips.

“Smuggle in?”

“Yes, we will be smuggled in. It may be a bit harsh,” Lu Shu smiled.

Lu Xiaoyu remained unconcerned about that. Suddenly, she absently asked, “Will you let them take me away if my parents really come to find me one day?”

Lu Shu frowned at the potential trap in her question. Then, he replied with another question, “Will you leave with them if they come?”

Lu Xiaoyu paused for a few seconds, “Of course not. It’s been so many years. No matter the truth, they did abandon me at the orphanage. And now we are good. What can they do if they are really here?”

But then she suddenly realized, was it not her who posed the question first?!

After more than ten seconds of deliberation, “Then what if your parents…”

“Impossible. They will not look for me,” Lu Shu grinned.

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199!”

Lu Xiaoyu’s face darkened, “I mean hypothetically, what if they do?”

“Then ask them to go home, what else? We are good now, aren’t we,” his eyes were twinkling.

“Yes,” Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes were drawn to the sea of lights in the distance. She used to admire them so much, seeing families of three crowding around the television behind open curtains. It felt so warm.

But that feeling was long gone.

Actually Lu Xiaoyu wanted to tell Lu Shu, if you want to leave with your parents, that was fine. Just remember to bring me along.

With a radiant smile on her face, Lu Xiaoyu sat on the rooftop beside Lu Shu. It felt as if the time had stopped, and the moment would be captured in a photograph as their eternal memory.

Lu Xiaoyu knew, she was fortunate enough to find warmth in a world so cold. She wanted nothing more.

…

There were still things to be done before their departure. Lu Shu gave another refresher fruit to Little Fury, who urgently needed it in his breakthrough to Class C. Then Little Fury also received two buckets of diluted refresher fruit juice. Honestly speaking, Lu Shu was also curious about a city full of big Class F rats.

Luo Cheng was Lu Shu’s base, so he did not mind investing more into it. It also served as a present to Little Fury in recognition of its contributions in distress points…

Therefore, Little Fury, Naughty Pig and Big Cat stayed behind to guard the house. Although the sale of chives had to be paused for the moment, Lu Shu did not want his crops stolen either.

On the day of setting out, Lu Shu was shocked to see Li Yixiao’s face black and blue, “Who beat you up?!”

Li Yixiao was a Class B Heavenly King! In the entire country, who dared to bully him besides Nie Ting and Chen Baili? historical

However, Nie Ting was in the Capital, and Chen Baili would not leave without visiting Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. So who had such power?!

Li Yixiao faltered for a while and finally yielded under Lu Shu’s relentless inquiry, “That old priest is not some kind-hearted man. He gave me a piece of magic scribbles which he claimed to be a new product of his Class A experiments. And he said souls of ancient heroes wandering in the world will be summoned when it’s infused with energy.”

Lu Shu nodded, “Then?”

“I forgot to bring toilet paper when I used the restroom yesterday, so I used the magic scribbles. You know what, an ancient hero really came! Then he said, ‘I am a warrior of the sky. Who awoke my spirit and what do thou beseech?'” Li Yixiao explained, his awkwardness was clearly visible.

“Then?”

“Then I asked him to bring me toilet paper! But he hit me good and hard! Bloody hell, I lost! I should have realized the scribbles were a trap!”

Lu Shu, “???”

Lu Xiaoyu, “???”

My goodness, you bloody reckless man!
