78: Chapter 77: Promotion to King-level 78: Chapter 77: Promotion to King-level “Indeed, what a great feat delivered right to my doorstep.”
“Ding—Malice Value from the Ancient City +200.”
With just 200 feeling value, I should be able to beat him, Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed as he activated Heavenly Eye to scan.
“Ding, detected a weakling.
If the Host can’t handle this one, you better drop out of the group, it’s too embarrassing.”
Looking at the system’s untimely snark, Lu Zixun’s mustache bristled in irritation.
But this also confirmed the person before him was no match.
With a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, Lu Zixun activated Magnetic Field Control.
He reversed the metal superpower from the Ancient City, forming a cage and trapping him inside.
Stepping on the cage and leaping up, Lu Zixun jumped onto the street and ran towards Yuesha Group.
A few minutes later, the Ancient City person broke out of the cage.
With a gloomy face, he spat viciously on the ground in the direction where Lu Zixun had left.
“Spitting on the ground is not a very good habit, you know.”
Yunyang retracted his simulated claws and licked the blood off them, smiling at the Ancient City as he spoke.
Clutching the piercing wound on his chest, the Ancient City looked at Yunyang incredulously, “Ma…
Hearing the Ancient City’s voice, Yunyang thought carefully with arms folded, then leisurely said, “Naturally, it’s because your death here maximizes my benefits.”
With eyes filled with unwillingness and fear, the Ancient City died.
Yunyang walked over to the Ancient City’s side and gestured with his finger as if something didn’t look quite right.
Yunyang extended his claws again and scratched the Ancient City’s face a few times until he nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Yunyang took out his phone and called sto.
As the operator answered the call, Yunyang’s face, which had been composed, turned to one of panic, “Hello, is this sto?
I just saw a huge cat, here at 47 Ximing Road, it killed someone.”
After describing the surroundings, Yunyang hung up the phone and smashed the device on the ground with a hard stomp.
Looking in the direction of Yuesha Group, he chuckled lightly and disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Zixun finally made it back to Yuesha Group, exhausted.
After catching his breath, he tilted his head and bit onto Yue Sichen’s clothes, dragging her onto the ground.
Seeing the shocking injury on Yue Sichen’s chest, Lu Zixun was momentarily at a loss on how to proceed.
He never learned how to save people.
Contact with the cold ground woke Yue Sichen, who moaned and opened her eyes.
Yue Sichen’s weak voice asked, “Have we arrived at Yuesha Group?”
“We’re here, now what shall we do?”
Looking around at the deserted company, Lu Zixun asked.
“Go to the office, third shelf, fifth book.
Pull it out and a safe will appear.
Just as Lu Zixun brought his head close to Yue Sichen’s mouth to listen, she fainted again.
This left Lu Zixun somewhat frantic.
Sister, before you faint, could you at least tell me the code?
Feeling Yue Sichen’s breath growing fainter, Lu Zixun did not dare to move her carelessly.
He hurriedly used the fire escape to run to the top floor.
He pulled out the book as Yue Sichen had said, and sure enough, a safe appeared.
Claws sprang from his paw pads, and Lu Zixun saw something in the safe…
It was a heart, twitching every now and then.
Lu Zixun was startled, his mind racing through various possibilities.
Lu Zixun, his tail coiled around the heart, was about to run downstairs when something suddenly occurred to him.
Since Lu Zixun had discovered that Yue Sichen was the Blood Worm Queen, wouldn’t it be better for “sto” if Yue Sichen died here now?
Thinking thus, Lu Zixun’s face showed hesitation, and his steps came to a halt.
“He wants to kill you, so I killed him, huh.”
“Is it wrong just to survive?”
These two phrases once uttered by Yue Sichen suddenly surged into Lu Zixun’s mind.
Biting his teeth, Lu Zixun quickly rushed down to the first floor.
Regardless of how well Yue Sichen had treated him, right now, Yue Sichen could not die here.
If Yue Sichen died, the situation in area q would become even more severe.
Grasping at a clumsy excuse to fool his own heart, Lu Zixun burst out of the safety stairwell.
There, standing beside Yue Sichen, was a person holding a knife, pointed at Yue Sichen’s heart, their arm trembling slightly, their face full of struggle.
Lu Zixun roared, rushing to Yue Sichen’s side, and with a swipe of his paw, sent the person flying.
“Ding—Detection of +500 Gratitude Value from Si Keke.”
Lu Zixun placed the heart against Yue Sichen’s mouth, and his body grew even larger again.
Encircling Yue Sichen within, he vigilantly watched Si Keke.
Si Keke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up from the ground.
Looking at the suspicious Lu Zixun, Si Keke smiled a bit, quite frankly tossing the sharp knife onto the ground.
The sharp knife contacting the floor emitted a metallic clang.
Lu Zixun’s eyes narrowed slightly, wondering what this person meant.
The action of Si Keke dropping the knife allowed Lu Zixun to relax slightly, he turned to check on Yue Sichen.
By then, the heart at Yue Sichen’s mouth had vanished without a trace.
The shocking wound on the chest was also visibly healing at an incredible speed.
At the same time, Lu Zixun also felt an extremely powerful aura emanating from Yue Sichen.
“Why did you show up here?”
Knowing that Yue Sichen was no longer in mortal danger, Lu Zixun questioned Si Keke with an icy gaze.
“If I say I came here to protect Si Chen, would you believe me?”
I’ll believe you when pigs fly, Lu Zixun thought to himself with an internal eye roll.
Clearly, there was no trust for Si Keke’s explanation.
The powerful beating of a heart echoed throughout the entire first floor of Yuesha Group.
A surge of crimson energy emanated from Yue Sichen’s body, and Lu Zixun was directly sent flying.
Watching as Yue Sichen appeared no longer in need of protection, Lu Zixun, with a reduced body size, looked at Yue Sichen puzzled.
“It’s the becoming of a King-level Creature, the Crimson Land is calling.”
Standing nearby, Si Keke softly explained to Lu Zixun.
Confused, Lu Zixun gave Si Keke a surprised look, his whole cat self freezing in place.
How would you know that?
And this Crimson Land, why does it sound so familiar?
“Want to come over to my place?”
As Si Keke’s gaze fell upon Lu Zixun, a hint of admiration flickered in his eyes: “After Yue Sichen wakes up, he’ll come find you.”
Done speaking, Si Keke stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and walked outside.
Looking at the Crimson Land admission ticket inside the System Backpack, Lu Zixun pondered for a moment before following.
He wanted to figure out just what this Crimson Land really was.
