Spare Me, Great Lord!

Earlier, Wen Zaifou had been thinking that Yu Fuyao had probably guessed his plans. No matter whether it was the dagger to protect herself, or the magical weapon to save her life, he had wanted to help Sakurai Yaeko.

He had witnessed too much heartlessness and coldness in this world. How many promises and vows in his 3000 years of living had become empty talk?

Thus, Sakurai Yaeko’s warmth touched him.

Wen Zaifou did not want Sakurai Yaeko to die. He wanted more happiness in this world.

But it seemed like everything had gone according to Yu Fuyao’s prediction. The dagger was able to kill all experts who were not masters, besides odd people like Lu Shu.

But Yu Fuyao had sent a master.

As a form of insurance, Wen Zaifou had even given Sakurai Yaeko a magical weapon that would allow newly advanced masters to be helpless. But Yu Fuyao had been waiting for this moment. She wanted Lu Shu to come and see the death of Sakurai Yaeko with his own eyes. This way, Lu Shu would be filled with boundless hatred.

Wen Zaifou even felt that Yu Fuyao had prepared everything in the Luniverse. She was only waiting for Lu Shu to go over.

She was able to use the lives of Rank One experts in exchange for trust. How could she not have prepared for this?

Sakurai Yaeko stood in the light. She dialed the number, but she did not know how many people were waiting for her to dial the number.

At that moment, Lu Shu stood in the hotel room that was stained with blood. There were traces of blood on his face, but they did not make him ugly. The blood stains that had not dried were like embellishments. They made him seem impulsive, yet quiet.

The phone in Lu Shu’s pocket rang. He looked at You Mingyu. “Settle this. I need to pick up a call.”

You Mingyu meticulously took pictures. He tried to store all the clues in his camera. Furthermore, he sent the corpses back to the Heavenly Network to investigate this slave owner more closely. If this slave owner knew about this in the underworld, he would be happy that he was dead. If not, endless pain would be waiting for him.

Mercy towards the enemy was cruelty to oneself.

Lu Shu picked up the phone. “Hello? Is something wrong?”

He was puzzled. He had just bid Sakurai Yaeko goodbye. Why did she call him so quickly?

Sakurai Yaeko smiled. “It’s nothing. I just wanted to call you. Have you left Hakodate? Have a safe journey.”

Suddenly, the wind at the mountains of the Hakodate turned cold. It was usually 23 degrees Celsius during summer in Hokkaido. At night, it would turn cold.

The wind continuously blew Sakurai Yaeko’s hair, but the world seemed to be quiet.

Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao were silent. Then, Wen Zaifou laughed bitterly. “You probably did not predict that she did not want Lu Shu to save her. When she realized that her enemy was a master, she subconsciously decided not to put Lu Shu in danger. This girl treats Lu Shu more importantly than her own life.”

Yu Fuyao’s expression turned cold. Things should not have turned out this way. She had planned to send a Rank One to kill Sakurai Yaeko, but she knew what the dagger Wen Zaifou had given Sakurai Yaeko was capable of. Thus, she immediately changed her plans.

But this changed plan had been defeated by the hope of humanity.

Yu Fuyao looked pitifully at Sakurai Yaeko. Sakurai Yaeko was like a cherry blossom that was about to wither. Even though it was about to die, it showed its most beautiful side to Lu Shu.

The people in this world were supposed to be more selfish, right? Why? Why did you always have to act so grand?!

Yu Fuyao wanted to attack and destroy everything, but Wen Zaifou blocked her. “If you act now, he will definitely know.”

Yu Fuyao slowly calmed down. Suddenly, she laughed. “Do you believe that Lu Shu will still come back? He is not foolish.”

Wen Zaifou coldly said, “You are confident that he does not have the ability to defeat a master, but have you considered who he is?”

“So what?” Yu Fuyao laughed coldly.

“You underestimate him too much.” Wen Zaifou shook his head. “If only one person in this world can mysteriously transform, it is him.”

“We’ll wait and see. I will wait in the Luniverse!”

Yu Fuyao laughed coldly. She took out a picture from her ring. It was a picture of her, Wen Zaifou, Sakurai Yaeko, and Lu Shu.

The picture burned in her hands. The brilliant fire flew into the night sky.

Yu Fuyao stepped into a void. She did not plan to continue observing this. She did not want to see the ending of this play, even though she was the director.

At that moment, Sakurai Yaeko said over the phone, “Lu Shu-kun, remember me, okay?”

Lu Shu suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. He looked at You Mingyu. You Mingyu immediately contacted all the intelligence personnel in Hakodate. Ten seconds later, You Mingyu said in a low tone, “Yes. After dinner, Sakurai Yaeko did not go down the mountain.”

Lu Shu said over the phone, “Where are you?”

Sakurai Yaeko laughed. “Of course I’m at home. Don’t be worried about me. Lu Shu-kun, Lu Shu-kun.”

She earnestly shouted Lu Shu’s name.

“Oh. Talk. I’m listening.” Lu Shu ran out. When he exited the inn, he flew at a low altitude. His flying speed caused people to be blown away by the wind.

The passers-by on the streets thought that the typhoon had returned!

But Lu Shu could not fly at a high altitude. He was afraid that he would lose his cellular network!

Lu Shu could no longer hear the chatter of the people, or the sounds of the cars on the street. It was as if he could only hear the voice over the phone. The girl on the other end said in a clear and melodious voice, “Lu Shu-kun, I like you.”

The clear and melodious voice was like a star in the sky.

“Wait for me,” said Lu Shu. He tried his very best to control his emotions.

Sakurai Yaeko suddenly cried. Large tears streamed down her face. “Please don’t come.”

“Wait for me,” said Lu Shu once again.

He knew that Sakurai Yaeko had probably encountered danger. It was so dangerous that Sakurai Yaeko had determined that Lu Shu might not be able to deal with it.

How strong was the enemy? A peak Rank One? A master?

It was probably a master!

But was this important? Lu Shu continuously ate galaxy fruits. Sakurai Yaeko’s voice reverberated by his ear. Even Lu Shu could not ignore the brilliance of the school festival and the brightness of the fireworks.

“Lu Shu-kun, stay safe. I am very honored to have met you. Please don’t take the risk,” said Sakurai Yaeko. She walked out of the light that protected her.

But… she could not walk out. Even the owner was restricted by the barrier of light!

Wen Zaifou almost laughed out loud. He was suddenly very pleased with himself. How wise of him!
