“Lu Shu! What is this!” Lu Xiaoyu exclaimed when she saw the golden page turned into golden dust and started diffusing into her body, “I didn’t do anything!”
Lu Shu replied, “This must be something that belongs to you.”
He was also confused by what just happened but when he held it, there was no reaction. However, the moment Lu Xiaoyu got close to it, that had happened and the only explanation was that it had recognized Lu Xiaoyu.
“Try to feel something, see if there’s anything weird happening to your body,” Lu Shu asked curiously. He wanted to know what kind of power that was.
Lu Xiaoyu did as she was told and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and exclaimed, “There’s this map in my head and inside the map was 7 nebulas!”
“What?!” Lu Shu was really surprised, “Are you sure?”
How did that happen? Could it be the same power as mine?
“I’m sure,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded, “There were 7 nebulas of different sizes. I felt like… I could communicate with the galaxy. There’s like these dark shadows moving into the map and there’s a small star. The strange thing was that the map was really bright but the stars were like black spots… Shouldn’t stars be bright?”
But… Why didn’t Lu Xiaoyu have to sing ‘Twinkle twinkle little stars?!
God damn it! Lu Shu was upset. Why did he have to sing the song but Lu Xiaoyu didn’t?!
Something must not be right. Maybe he was focusing on the wrong detail.
Lu Shu was in deep thought. Based on Lu Xiaoyu’s description, her map was a little different from his!
His own map was a pitch black and only by unlocking a new star could he light up a small part of it.
But Lu Xiaoyu’s map was already bright and the stars were dark.
After singing the song, the sky that appeared inside him was filled with bright stars.
But for Lu Xiaoyu, the stars appeared as dark shadows.
His were bright while hers were dark, what could be the link?
Neither of them knew. The black coats probably had no clue either.
This was really strange…
“What else do you know about those shadows inside your head, are there any weird things?” Lu Shu questioned.
“I’m not sure. They just appeared and entered the map…” Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes were glistening with excitement, “Lu Shu, did I just awaken?”
“Hehe, you did. I’m sure of it…” Lu She was a little envious. She did not have to sing any song and the training was even automatic…
Could this be that lazy bum’s unique power?!
Lu Xiaoyu also did not have to sacrifice her sleep to train since she did not need to spend any efforts guiding the stars into the map!
“What kind of system is this and how is it so troublesome for me?! It’s still not too late for me to change my powers… but it better be soon!” Lu Shu thought.
At this moment, Lu Shu bought a celestial fruit from the shop and offered Lu Xiaoyu, “Eat this and see if anything happens.”
But the moment Lu Xiaoyu’s hand touched the fruit, it immediately dispersed into bright stardusts which penetrated into Lu Shu…
Lu Shu knew something was not right. Logically speaking, if the refresher fruit could be offered to someone else, why was it different for the celestial fruit?
It must be the because of Lu Xiaoyu’s newly obtained power which rejected the celestial fruit! This was really weird and Lu Shu had a whole bunch of questions. Could it be that Lu Xiaoyu’s power was the polar opposite of his?
There were still some other differences in their powers. Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu’s palm. On his own palm was a mark of a sapling with 5 leaves which represented unlocking the 5 stars but there were no marks on Lu Xiaoyu’s.
And Lu Shu had this ball of white flame within his heart which Lu Xiaoyu did not.
Since Lu Shu could not figure out anything, he decided not to think about it first. But what Lu Xiaoyu had was indeed a form of training and if she could quickly unlock the stars and obtain superhuman powers, this would make Lu Shu feel more at ease.
Lu Xiaoyu had also started to look more attractive and who knew when evil doers would appear. Being able to protect herself could lessen Lu Shu’s worries.
It would be terrible if Lu Xiaoyu was kidnapped.
The previous time when Lu Xiaoyu went out to sell eggs, Uncle Li had warned Lu Shu about some man hitting on the young lady. This was also why Lu Shu had not been letting Lu Xiaoyu sell eggs on her own until Uncle Li and others offered to send Lu Xiaoyu home.
But now there was really no need to worry. Within another half a month, if Lu Xiaoyu was to meet a bad guy, hehe, her thousand pounds-strong punches would destroy them.
And with Lu Xiaoyu’s sharp mind, she could easily differentiate the good from the bad.
But Lu Shu should still educate Lu Xiaoyu on not using her power impulsively. He started sharing about the existence of the black coats, the blood drive etc to her.
Lu Shu made sure that Lu Xiaoyu had understood all that and they arrived at a consensus.
The two of them sat on the sofa and talked about their abilities all day. Lu Shu told Lu Xiaoyu everything about his situation and Lu Xiaoyu finally believed that Lu Shu could not make crepes!
Finally!
Even though she had stopped requesting Lu Shu for crepes, she still got her way with receiving two portions of stinky tofu from him every day, no matter what!
Lu Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes, “Lu Shu, I’m sleepy. Can you tell me a bedtime story?”
“No way. You’re too old to be listening to such stories,” Lu Shu twitched his mouth.
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199!”
“Lu Shu, You’ve changed! You used to…”
“Wait wait wait… How in the world have I changed? Speak up!” Lu Shu had run out of excuses. Indeed, when they were at the orphanage, Lu Shu used to tell Lu Xiaoyu bedtime stories.
Lu Shu tucked Lu Xiaoyu into bed. He had been thinking for half a day and still did not know what story to tell. All the stories he knew were already told.
“Erm, There was a boy who liked to sleep with his head under his pillow…” Before Lu Shu finished his sentence, Lu Xiaoyu laughed sarcastically.
“Lu Shu, are you making something up to trick me? You’ve really changed…”
“Let me finish! There was a boy who liked to sleep with his head under his pillow and guess what. When he woke up, he discovered the fairies had taken all his teeth!” Lu Shu burst out into laughter, “Hahahaha, I’m sure you have not heard this one!”
Lu Xiaoyu, “???”
“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +399…”
