Chapter 136 Yandere and Succubus, the Ruthless Lu Yu (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Most people's impression of Lu Yu is limited to the high school battle between the two cities, the Dragon's Secret Realm, and the professional promotion assessment.
The battle for the bizarre object involves crucial information that is not disclosed to the public. Even if someone tries to post it, it will be deleted by the platform immediately, and some people will come to the platform for friendly exchanges.
Therefore, it is only known in small circles, among large adventure groups and powerful beast tamers, that Lu Yu beats up the aliens like a BOSS.
It's clearly someone else's barrier, yet they can control it at will.
His ability to analyze and utilize the rules has reached a terrifying level, leading many to remark that he has the potential to become a legendary investigator.
"Quiet!"
The Alliance army recognized Lu Yu's identity and began to calm the restless Ironblood Swordhounds. One of the leaders stepped forward, and it turned out to be an acquaintance.
She was Zhang Li, the only woman among the four Morning Star Rank members in charge of the Crimson Dragon Secret Realm, and the person in charge sent by the Dayuan City Alliance.
At this moment, she was dressed in a camouflage military uniform. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she exuded a heroic spirit. After seeing Luo Qingyue and the Chiyue Honglian sisters beside Lu Yu, she quickly understood the reason.
Lu Yu should be the external aid they share.
Whether there is a deeper relationship remains to be seen!
Zhang Li didn't want to pry into other people's private lives, so she smiled at Lu Yu and said, "I've heard about what's been going on lately, especially what happened at Bianmu Village. You did a great job, it makes me want to bring you into the League."
The alliance within Dayuan City was satisfied with Lu Yu's handling of the situation—he didn't kill indiscriminately out of spite—and found his methods mature. If it weren't still going through the proper procedures, the announcement would undoubtedly have caused a sensation.
Especially his trump card, which is comparable to a spiritual transformation, will definitely shock countless people. Although Lu Yu said he had used it all, most people remained skeptical.
After all, this kid... is notoriously sneaky.
We have plenty of cards to play!
Lu Yu smiled shyly, indicating that he was lucky and that there was still a long way to go. Zhang Li appreciated his humble attitude and led the group toward the edge of the temple ruins.
This scene plunged everyone else into despair.
"They really came for the temple ruins. This is troublesome!"
"Ruins are different from secret realms and barriers, right? They shouldn't be that easy to break through..."
"That being said, didn't the same group of people think the same way the first two times? But what was the result...? Didn't they still end up questioning the meaning of life?"
"You're right, I'm starting to panic. I hope I don't go home empty-handed this time..."
"You guys are getting more and more timid as you get older. You're just a Silver-rank Beastmaster, nothing to worry about."
"Yes, the secret realm is because of the remnants of the Crimson Dragon Tribe, and the anomaly was due to an anomaly. Both are intelligent beings, and only by following the rules can they exploit loopholes. The temple ruins are nothing but bizarre and unreasonable; they can never regain their former glory..."
"..."
Members of several large adventure groups discussed the matter animatedly. Some were wary, some were disdainful, some wanted to cooperate, and some even wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
Among them, Yue Mei, the vice-leader of the Dark Moon Rose Adventurer Group, is a hot, short-haired, gray-haired mature woman with healthy wheat-colored skin and a black moon and rose pattern tattooed on the back of her hand, somewhat resembling a legendary dark elf.
But she is a real human being, and a Beast Tamer who has undergone a spiritual transformation. She is only one step away from reaching the Morning Star rank: collecting enough Primal Copper.
She glanced at Lu Yu and his group in the distance, licked her lips, and said with amusement:
"So this is Lu Yu, who's been all the rage lately... Looks like this temple exploration is going to be exciting. Oh, I remember now, you guys seem to go to the same school, do you know him?"
She was speaking to two mysterious figures wearing cloaks. After hearing her question, the two lowered their hoods, revealing one with flowing black hair and a gentle smile on her lips—it was Yu Xiyan.
Beside her was a young man with a buzz cut, looking defiant; he was her pet and cousin, Qi Wei.
Yu Xiyan looked at the three women behind Lu Yu, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile:
"Of course I know him. I've had a crush on him for a long time, and I even gave him a love letter a while ago, but unfortunately... I was rejected."
"Huh, rejected... That shouldn't be the case. This kid brought three little girls to explore the secret realm, he doesn't seem like a proper person. How could he bear to refuse you? Could it be that his weapon has been overloaded too many times, resulting in insufficient ammunition?"
To be fair, he's really good-looking, not the pretty boy type, just handsome. I would have liked him when I was younger, but unfortunately I'm too old now, hahaha…”
Yue Mei clicked her tongue in amazement, and looking at the dazed Qi Wei, teased him:
"So, you're not also secretly in love, are you?"
"How is that possible!"
Qi Wei's face darkened upon hearing this, and he quickly retorted, "I am his nemesis."
"Nemesis?"
Yue Mei glanced at him, smiling without saying a word.
Although Qi Wei is quite talented, belonging to the category of excellent beast tamers, he is far inferior to a monster like Lu Yu, who has the potential to become a top genius on the border. However, since he is Yu Xiyan's cousin, some face will be given to him.
That silent smile was the greatest contempt, leaving Qi Wei feeling like he was holding back a lot of anger, but had nowhere to vent it, and most importantly, he couldn't refute it...
After all, Lu Yu was indeed at the same level as him before, and he was almost left far behind.
As a result, after exchanging for the gold medal, this guy soared to great heights, reaching a level that even his former number one rival could only look up to.
As for his father... he has intermittent dementia and said he forgot to say anything like "I can surpass Lu Yu". He said if Qi Wei keeps talking nonsense, he will take him to the hospital for leech therapy to suck the water out of his head. He even threatened to cut off his allowance.
Qi Wei did not give in to this. In any case, he had made a fortune by producing Lu Yu videos, and he could make a living from it in the future.
The reason he was here was not to gather material, but because his cousin offered to take him to explore the secret realm, find opportunities to become stronger, and keep up with Lu Yu's footsteps.
Although it seemed like empty promises, Qi Wei still believed it. After all, although he had been badly beaten in the last Desolate Ant Tomb Secret Realm, his strength had indeed improved a lot, so he obediently came out.
Then Qi Wei saw Yu Xiyan accept a quest to find a cat. Amidst his bewildered gaze, she easily found the cat and discovered that the quest giver was the vice leader of the Dark Moon Rose Adventurer Group.
It was her cat, whom she had raised for over ten years, and considered it family, so she was extremely grateful.
After their conversation, Yue Mei discovered that Yu Xiyan resonated with her on every topic and had insightful views on the development of the adventure team. They got along very well and considered each other close friends, so Yue Mei took the initiative to invite Yu Xiyan to become the team's strategist.
Even after being rejected by Yu Xiyan, he did not give up. In order to win her over, he took the initiative to invite her to enter the temple ruins together to broaden her horizons and at the same time showcasing the strength of his own adventure team.
Qi Wei was dumbfounded. It was so easy... He had infiltrated a high-ranking member of a large adventure group.
This cunning woman manipulated everyone, including a beast tamer at the level of spiritual transformation, through a seemingly insignificant cat-finding incident.
Absolutely terrifying!
And what's most shocking is that Lu Yu actually came too!
Is this also under my cousin's control?
It's terrifying when a yandere pursues a man!
Qi Wei felt scared, then took out a camera. Since he was already here, he figured he might as well use it as footage.
In fact, Yu Xiyan was also surprised by Lu Yu's arrival.
Her ability originated from an unexpected, unorthodox formula called the Trioctahedron, which has now become her innate talent, known as the "Messenger of Fate."
One of its abilities is that it contains a vast amount of information about the real world, allowing it to enter the River of Fate and, through calculation, deduce the result, much like solving a formula.
Like a messenger, delivering letters to your past and future selves.
The reason for this is that although the information she gleaned was based on the vast amount of information in the current world, from the very moment of the deduction, it was situated on a timeline similar to a parallel universe.
However, it has many drawbacks. Whenever Lu Yu or other high-ranking beings are involved, errors occur frequently. Everything seen is not real, or even misleading, leading to exposure to indescribable information and distortion.
If she hadn't met Lu Yu, followed in his footsteps, and deduced countless overlapping possibilities that revealed a part of the true future and gave her a glimmer of hope, Yu Xiyan would probably have gone mad long ago!
Even so, she still felt her own insignificance; in this world, the more she knew, the more desperate she became.
The trends of the real world continue to surge like a mighty river, washing away all living beings. Everything is a chessboard for great beings, a forbidden realm that mortals cannot reach.
This relic is the predetermined result of the deduction and will appear in the future. Although the specific strategy details are unknown, Yu Xiyan can reverse the information and join in, and has the opportunity to gain a lot of benefits.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Lu Yu again!
"As expected... he's always on the right path!"
Yu Xiyan was pathologically obsessed with his eternal truth, as for these women...
It's a stumbling block!
On the other side, a group of beautiful nuns dressed in clean white robes were praying softly.
Because the temple was involved, in order to prevent any lingering will of the ancient gods, the Thorn Church and the candidates for sainthood who had not yet left were also invited.
However, they are different from ordinary thorn nuns. They belong to the Thorn Choir under the Inquisition and are responsible for offering thorn hymns to the great God. Therefore, they are required to have good looks and talent and are the elite of the church.
Their chanting can summon thorns to descend upon the world, entangle all living beings, and inflict suffering upon all things. Jiang Ji was also a member of the choir before becoming a candidate for sainthood.
However, when the nuns saw Lu Yu and the three women in the distance, they couldn't help but frown.
Is this the man Jiang Ji has been chasing after, the one causing her so much pain?
Where is the pain?
They were clearly having a lot of fun!
If he were to join the Church of Thorns, the church's population might double...
Thinking of this, they looked at Jiang Ji, who was in a daze, with some sympathy in their eyes. They were chasing a wild horse, but the Thorn Church only had thorns, not grasslands.
It will only hurt the horse or hollow it out.
Jiang Ji, who was pitied by everyone, was actually looking at Lu Yu while thinking about how to pull Lu Yu into the prayer room to enlighten him.
In terms of combat strength, unless the [Eye of the Evil King] is activated, there is absolutely no way that he can be a match for Lu Yu, who has now obtained the extraordinary object.
In response, netizens suggested that the other party could be lured into the lion's den, which is known as a seductive offensive.
Judging from Lu Yu's appearance, he was also captivated by beauty, even somewhat delirious.
Thinking about this, Jiang Ji glanced at herself. Hmm, her figure was alright. If it was to bear the pain of the world, this approach might be worth considering...
Reproduction is the fundamental law of the continuation of a race and the world, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Moreover, apart from saints, nuns and candidates of the Church of Thorns are not prohibited from marrying. Instead, they are encouraged to reproduce, claiming that those who have many children will be blessed by the Lord of Thorns. This has led to rumors that the reason why the nuns' uniforms of the Church of Thorns are a bit erotic is to conform to the doctrine of reproduction.
There have even been quite a few doujinshi about the Great Prayer Chamber of Thorns... cough cough cough...
As long as they don't name names, the Thorn Church doesn't bother to argue about it, and promoting childbirth is something they'd like to see.
On the other side, the closer Lu Yu got to the temple ruins, the more he could feel the immense dark spiritual energy within, which transformed into a strange black mist emanating deathly coldness, enveloping the entire ruins and revealing only some broken walls.
"Gurgle..."
Egg, meanwhile, awoke from its slumber. With clear yet foolish eyes, it gazed at the distant temple, a purple structure made of strangely piled stones resembling a rotting corpse. It nudged Lu Yu, revealing a hint of longing.
"Is Egg also yearning for what's in the temple...?"
Lu Yu seemed thoughtful but wasn't too surprised, because the egg originated from one of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King's collections and was then forged into a living weapon.
These artifacts... originated from this land, and may well be related to the ancient civilization that built the temple.
Perhaps we can find something to accelerate Egg's growth into its complete form, or even find suitable secret food ingredients to transform it into a dragon-type pet comparable to an ancient dragon.
However, we still need to figure out whose temple this is and its connection to the Mother of Twilight.
So Lu Yu asked the same question. Zhang Li had anticipated it, but she shook her head and said helplessly:
"Actually, we still don't know who this temple is dedicated to. At first, we thought it was the sealing site of the remnants of the Twilight Mother, which was sacrificed by the previous beings. But later we found that it was not at all. After careful surveying, we did not find the Twilight Mother's aura. Moreover, according to several archaeologists, this ruin may have existed for longer than the Red Dragon Tribe."
It is highly likely that it was a lost era, a civilization that was once glorious, but was destroyed for some reason, leaving only a corner of ruins, with a vast spiritual power remaining, which caused the mutation...
At this point, Zhang Li also felt a little emotional, saying that no matter how glorious a civilization or how holy a dynasty is, in the face of time, it is nothing more than an ant, and its final destination is just a handful of yellow earth.
This is the helplessness of all intelligent life.
Even kings are not eternal; perhaps after countless ages, only taboos will remain forever.
However, she didn't tell Lu Yu any of this. After all, getting involved with taboos too early could easily cause one's mentality to become unbalanced. In any case, it's very difficult for ordinary people to encounter such beings in their entire lives.
"The temple ruins, apart from the central temple, are shrouded in a layer of cold mist. This mist devours all heat, and any living beings that approach it will have all their essence devoured and turn into withered bones. Therefore, it is impossible to fly in. Even those at the Morning Star level can only look on in despair at this vast, sea-like cold mist. It is best to attack from the ground and gradually clear this ruin."
Therefore, the Alliance has chosen to open this temple ruins, with rewards calculated based on the contributions of different factions—the more you contribute, the more you gain. However, the Alliance needs to make a copy of the records about the ancient civilization, and the remaining treasures will be up to individual ability…”
Zhang Li sighed, feeling somewhat troubled by the situation, unsure how long it would take to breach the temple ruins.
Originally, I wanted to ask Vice President Situ Kong for help, but he refused on the grounds that "it's impossible to enjoy coffee properly in the underground environment." After all, there was no power left by the ancient gods inside, and it was only a matter of time before the development was completed.
Lu Yu nodded, feeling fortunate. If they could, the ruins would have been breached long ago, and it wouldn't have been their turn.
"Conquering the temple ruins—this is the prelude to investigator Luo Qingyue's legendary story!"
Luo Qingyue was extremely excited because, as the first discoverer, she had some contribution points. As long as Lu Yu gave her a little help, even if she couldn't break into the core of the temple, she could still intercept the items that would allow the Ancient Book Worm to evolve.
Then, Lu Yu was compensated with money according to the market price.
If you can't afford to pay for it... then go live with your grandpa and take a bite out of his savings. That old man is very rich anyway.
If he refuses, she will have no choice but to sell herself to Lu Yu as a maid. As for whether it will escalate into a firearms affair, that depends on Lu Yu's integrity.
Anyway, Lu Yu is handsome.
It's still uncertain who will ultimately suffer a loss!
"It really is here..."
Red Lotus and Red Dream exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony. Although they had already gathered some information before arriving, they breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the ruins. They were certain...
That's the temple of that one!
And what they need is right here in these ruins.
The group followed Zhang Li to the edge of the ruins, and other adventure groups, Thorn Church, and others also came over upon seeing this.
Ahead of them, several white-haired archaeologists looked at the ruins shrouded in cold mist so close at hand, scratching their heads in frustration, their already sparse hair falling out even more.
Archaeology in the past required meticulous protective excavation, followed by analysis of various remaining documents to study the past bit by bit, bringing vivid figures to life in the present era.
However, in this world, all things give birth to spirituality, especially the ruins that are soaked in boundless spiritual energy day and night, which have long since changed and given birth to wisdom.
In short, it came back to life!
It gave rise to a unique operating pattern, and everything remaining on the ruins became part of it, but it was essentially chaotic and disorderly.
Those who rashly step in will disrupt the natural order of things, thus inviting backlash.
Archaeologists, on the other hand, need to study the patterns, decipher them, and dismantle the spirituality of these ruins bit by bit, guiding them from chaos to order, and bringing them out of the deep underground into the sunlight.
They are a group of people who soothe history.
However, at this moment, due to the lack of relevant written records, the archaeologists could only explore little by little, searching for weak points in the ruins.
Zhang Li waited a while, then couldn't help but ask:
"How are things going, experts?"
An archaeologist with a Mediterranean hairstyle, already in a state of agitation, glanced at her upon hearing the question and said indifferently:
"Why rush it? Archaeology is something that requires patience; it can't be rushed."
Zhang Li's face stiffened. Although she had heard that these old antiques, like cultural relics, were difficult to get along with, she did not expect them to have such explosive tempers, directly reprimanding her as if she were a student.
However, these three people are archaeological specialists hired by the alliance. Although they are only at the spiritual transformation level, they have been so engrossed in archaeological excavation that they have no time to improve their strength and can be promoted at any time.
In terms of seniority in the Alliance, there are more senior students than her, and quite a few of them are at the Morning Star level. As for their teachers... they are giants in the Department of Archaeology.
Even if she puts on airs like an elder, there's nothing she can do about it.
An archaeologist with white hair and a youthful face stepped in to smooth things over:
"Old Wang is a straightforward person, don't take it to heart."
"I see."
Zhang Li nodded, not caring much. After all, there were plenty of more impulsive guys in the army, and the other party really didn't have any malicious intent. He was just getting frustrated because he couldn't figure out the pattern of entry.
Put yourself in their shoes. It's like you're doing all the work for the whole group, and everyone else is just standing around watching without doing anything, while they keep pushing you.
At that point, it would be like a powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.
The remaining archaeologist, sporting a goatee, couldn't help but sigh:
"This cold fog is far too thick, even obscuring the spiritual energy of the ruined secret realm. Moreover, it's extremely dangerous; even pets that get close are easily devoured, leaving only skeletons. It seems the only option is to wear it down over time. I wonder if we can finish it today..."
The others frowned upon hearing this. After painstakingly clearing out the monsters, it would be too frustrating to return empty-handed after failing to explore the ruins.
But as laymen, they couldn't offer any advice; they could only wait quietly, though they were prepared for a long haul.
Luo Qingyue was also helpless, after all, she had been blocked by the cold mist before, and she didn't expect that sending several industry seniors would be useless.
Thinking of this, she nudged Lu Yu beside her and whispered:
"Do you have a solution?"
Before Lu Yu could speak, the elderly man with the receding hairline, whose hearing was keen, naturally heard this. He pursed his lips and muttered:
"Do you really think archaeology is child's play, that anyone can just walk in and figure out the patterns? If that's the case, we might as well be nothing..."
The sound was quite loud, but all the beast tamers present could hear it, and they couldn't help but laugh.
This old man not only subtly insulted Lu Yu, but also insulted himself in the process; this is truly a case of criticizing everything and everyone.
However, what he said is indeed true. Lu Yu is not a professional archaeologist. He has not even entered the ruins, so he does not know the operating rules, let alone decipher them.
Only young girls would blindly believe that.
The other two old men also shook their heads, not paying any attention, and prepared to continue studying how to find the operating pattern so that the outer perimeter of the ruins could emerge.
Only Yu Xiyan narrowed her eyes, having absolute confidence in Lu Yu.
"That old man is meddling way too much!"
Luo Qingyue was also a little angry when she heard this. After all, Lu Yu was someone she had brought with her and was her assistant as a future legendary investigator. She was the one who should be on his back, and she couldn't let others bully him.
Just as he was about to step forward to argue, Lu Yu stopped him.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you..."
Luo Qingyue thought Lu Yu had chickened out and was about to say a few harsh words to show her strength, but in the blink of an eye she saw Lu Yu squat down, pick up a brick, weigh it in his hand, and after confirming that it was heavy enough, walk forward.
Upon seeing this, Luo Qingyue swallowed back the words she was about to say.
This guy is simply...
That's incredibly audacious! No, it's outrageous!
I think... I'm about to be unable to protect myself!
"Holy crap, he's serious!"
This scene stunned everyone.
Is Lu Yu really that hot-tempered?
He'd throw a brick at the slightest provocation, and that was directed at three beast tamers who had undergone spiritual transformation.
That's too brutal!
Qi Wei was dumbfounded. Why did this guy never play by the rules?
"This guy, every move he makes is unpredictable..."
Chi Yue Hong Lian frowned deeply. Was someone who would impulsively challenge three Beast Tamers at the Spiritual Transformation level just because of a single sentence really suitable to join their plan?
Even with great potential, he's still just a reckless fool!
Thinking of this, she looked at her sister, wondering if she was also disappointed, but what she saw almost stunned her.
Akatsuki Meng also picked up a brick, preparing to follow, but luckily she stopped her in time, otherwise it might have escalated into a serious diplomatic incident.
In severe cases, it could even lead to a war between the succubus race and the powerful members of the human archaeological faction.
"Um?"
Chiyue Meng opened her eyes wide and looked at Chiyue Honglian with a puzzled expression. Then she suddenly realized what was going on, handed over the brick, and prepared to find another one for herself.
I don't want your brick!
(╯－＿－)╯╧╧
What kind of adulterers are you... ugh, you're a duo of scoundrels!
"Was he traumatized...?"
Zhang Li and the three archaeologists also frowned. These young people nowadays are too sensitive; they can't even take a word they hear.
Just when everyone thought a major battle was about to break out, Lu Yu walked straight past the wary old man with a receding hairline and arrived in front of the ruins shrouded in cold mist.
The elderly man with the receding hairline panicked upon seeing this. Although he disliked this hot-tempered junior, he didn't want to see him get into trouble, and loudly warned him:
"Don't come near, it's dangerous!"
However, Lu Yu ignored him and, to everyone's astonishment, slammed a brick down on him.
boom!
The moment the brick made contact with the cold mist, it produced a muffled thud, striking the formless mist and instantly bursting forth with a dark purple glow.
The light shone brightly, and wherever it passed, the thick, cloud-like cold mist surged and began to dissipate rapidly.
Everyone was stunned, and only one thought remained in their minds.
Does this work too?
The three old men stared wide-eyed, unable to help but wonder if they really were...
屁？
The next moment, the cold mist dissipated, revealing the outer perimeter of the temple ruins.
Everyone wore expressions of disbelief, and the three archaeologists were also horrified.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu's pupils constricted sharply, and four words flashed through his mind:
"Doll Hell!"
A long chapter of 7,000 words, please vote with monthly tickets. I've been having some writer's block lately, but I'll try my best to come up with a good plot. Also, I'd like to recommend a friend's book, by a famous author under a pseudonym. I grew up reading his books (lol).
