Chapter 241 Lu Xiu
Chapter 241
Lin Xia looked at A Tong, her eyes filled with self-mockery and pity. Who doesn't yearn for freedom? Who doesn't want to control their own destiny?
It was like a conversation she had once seen.
A said, "Crabs are a type of low-level animal with a very simple nervous system. So much so that when they are being slowly steamed in a steamer, they keep stuffing ginger slices into their mouths. They just feel uncomfortable and think that eating something will make them feel better."
B replied: "The crab is saying: You just haven't seen your own steamer yet."
I was shocked when I saw it, and now that I think about it, it's so fitting.
She sighed deeply, "Ah Tong, the choice has never been in our hands."
Danger? Which path isn't dangerous? From the moment the system arrived, they lost their right to choose; they only ever had one path.
Keep moving forward, don't look back. The road you came from was fraught with difficulties, and the destination is uncertain.
Upon hearing this, A-Tong froze, staring at Lin Xia's retreating figure with a clear look in her eyes.
She brought up the matter of staying again, and although Lin Xia didn't say it explicitly, she still knew Lin Xia's attitude.
Although everyone thought Lin Xia was too soft-hearted, she never thought so. When it was time to take action, Lin Xia showed no mercy whatsoever.
If she wants to stay here, she probably has no other way but to prove to Lin Xia that her presence poses no danger to the world.
But... ever since she learned that the energy she cultivated came from her subconscious sea, she understood that her bond with the world was gradually deepening. If it weren't for this place, she would definitely be willing to be bound to Lin Xia's side.
But the temptation here was too great. Who wouldn't want to live freely? The feeling of being controlled by others is just too awful. She was really tempted...
Lin Xia's words suddenly brought her to her senses. Yes, the choice was never in her hands. Whether on Blue Star or here, the path was always chosen for her by others.
She had always been the one being dominated, and the price of betrayal or indifference was too high for her to bear.
A-Tong chuckled self-deprecatingly. Her journey had been so smooth that she had come to think she was something special.
But in reality, she has been operating in the palm of someone else's hand without even realizing it.
Since that conversation, Ah Tong has finally stopped being as anxious as she was a few days ago. Now she has calmed down and started cultivating.
The two focused on their cultivation, and because they only showed their injured state to the outside world, no one bothered them.
The strength displayed by the two has clearly led those people to reassess their abilities.
...
"Top-tier strength among level 1 players, they can easily challenge level 2 players, and they should be able to defeat anyone who isn't a top-tier level 2 player." This is how many people describe them, including Lu Xiu and others.
"You're very strong, much stronger than when you arrived," Zeng Bai mocked.
"They are indeed very strong. The stronger they are, the deeper those people covet their world. The reason we haven't sent anyone to challenge them these past two days is to avoid losing manpower. What about that wood-type ability user? Haven't we heard anything back?"
"No, I was definitely tempted a couple of days ago..." Zeng Bai's eyes held a complex expression.
"Heh...did you think everyone was as stupid as you?" Lucius's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Zeng Bai gritted his teeth and remained silent.
After a long pause, Lucius asked, "Should we make a move?"
He looked at the woman across from him who had been trying to mediate, his expression complex. The woman turned to them and shook her head: "He won't let us do any more."
"Heh...why don't we get such good treatment? Shouldn't good seeds be trained more?" Zeng Bai said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with malice.
Lucius looked at him, making him extremely embarrassed. Just as he was about to reprimand him, Lucius suddenly burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.
Just as Zeng Bai was about to lash out, Lu Xiu's laughter abruptly stopped. The deep contempt in his eyes infuriated Zeng Bai, who was about to say something.
The woman opposite suddenly snapped, "That's enough, you two."
Lu Xiu looked at the woman, the complexity in his eyes fading, gradually turning cold. His gaze made the woman panic, and before she could say anything, she heard Lu Xiu say, "Do you really think he doesn't know anything?"
The woman's face turned pale. She glanced at Zeng Bai and said in a somewhat anxious tone, "Lu Xiu, that's enough. Stop talking."
Lu Xiu looked at Zeng Bai, his mockery undisguised: "Zeng Zhi, you're an idiot too."
"Lucius! Shut up, or I'll..."
Grasping Zeng Bai's fist, Lu Xiu's eyes were filled with malice: "Zeng Bai, stop pretending to be ignorant. Didn't the destruction of our world start with you? If you hadn't been so stupid as to believe those people, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
Zeng Bai's face turned pale instantly: "You're talking nonsense! It's clearly you! You are the guardian of the world! What does this have to do with me!"
"Hahaha, Zeng Zhi, do you still think I'm that fool who was infatuated with you? If I weren't afraid that this fool would do something stupid again, do you think I would have always cooperated with you and taken all the blame upon myself?"
"Cause and effect cannot be reversed by a few words. Over the years, Zeng Bai's strength has never increased by an inch, and you know your current situation, right? Don't you understand why?"
Lu Xiu kicked the crazed Zeng Bai into a corner, his gentle expression fading as he laughed heartily: "You think He doesn't know what you've been doing all these years, and I don't know? Don't dream."
The excruciating pain finally brought Zeng Bai to a stop, his eyes blazing with malice: "You just saw a good seed and wanted to climb up to him, but you don't even know if he wants you!"
"Hahaha, still thinking you're the guardian of the world? You're nothing but a piece of trash now! You think those two will have a good ending? This place is no longer what it was when we first arrived!"
"The stronger they become, the more relentless those people will be in their pursuit! And their world, too, will ultimately be drained dry!"
Panic flickered in Zeng Zhi's eyes. She bit her lip and said, "Axiu, I just want to help Abai. If we don't... his strength will stagnate, and so will mine. There's nothing we'll lose by staying here, is there?"
"Those higher-dimensional worlds can give us what we want, right?" Zeng Zhiyue said more and more calmly, "We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. In this world, we come from the same world and are the closest of people. If you are nourished by the energy of the world, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, just like before. Wouldn't that be great?!"
Lu Xiu glanced at the two of them and shook his head: "You can't talk about ice with a summer insect." Then, he performed a series of actions.
Zeng Zhi's pupils shrank: "Axiu! They won't accept you! I won't hurt you! I'm your fiancée!"
Lucius didn't look at the two of them again. Their figures appeared outside the door in an instant. It was Lucius who had driven them out.
