Chapter 144: Chapter 142: Well Deserved

At night, Luo Wusheng sat on his bed in his room.

He held a short wooden sword in one hand and pressed his other hand against a small wooden box he was hugging, wearing a pensive expression on his face.

After the sparring between the two young girls ended, he was pulled away by Bai Xiaoyao.

Shortly after his lovely Junior Sister, Bai Xiaoyao, came over, Little Yuli’s face darkened slightly, and she left the mansion to do her mission ahead of time.

Luo Wusheng quickly realized the reason.

The side effects of brushing up the favorability of the protagonist’s harem had finally emerged.

Although this group of girls probably had no interest in him in that way, Lu Yuliu was still the head of the harem. Seeing her girls getting close to someone else might still bring some emotional discomfort, even if he was Bai Xiaoyao’s Senior Brother.

Luo Wusheng sighed inwardly.

But his Junior Sister did treat him well.

He gently opened the wooden box he had been holding. Inside were a silver-trimmed black robe and a cloud-patterned white outfit, along with various rustic decorations.

This was a gift that Bai Xiaoyao had given him after pulling him away earlier.

She probably thought that his usual attire as her Senior Brother was a bit dull, so she had custom-made an outfit for him.

Luo Wusheng had tried on both outfits with the technical guidance of his Junior Sister shortly after they left.

It had to be said that girls had good eyes in fashion. Especially a delicate and thoughtful girl like Bai Xiaoyao. Her taste was indeed far superior to his own crude and rough preferences.

If it were up to Luo Wusheng, he would probably just mindlessly wear anything that would make him most comfortable.

But after letting Bai Xiaoyao dress him up, Luo Wusheng could clearly feel that his already handsome appearance had improved even more.

Furthermore, his Junior Sister is also good at praising people, and after changing into new clothes, she almost made him nearly blush in embarrassment from her wave of praise.

Ultimately, there are gains and losses.

He had increased his favorability with Bai Xiaoyao, but he had also lost favorability with Lu Yuliu.

Fortunately, Miss Sword Fairy is relatively easy to please.

After a brief thought, Luo Wusheng sent the first message.

[Is everything okay with your Sect’s mission? Do you need my help?]

He used casual yet concerned words to inquire about Little Yuli’s current situation.

[No need!]

An instant response!

Luo Wusheng’s heart trembled slightly.

This meant that this girl had been looking at the short sword all along, waiting for him to speak. And from the strong emotions revealed between the lines, it seemed that this girl was probably in the midst of an emotional outbreak, with a strong resistance in her response.

But the fact that there was a response was still within his acceptable range.

He was not unprepared.

[In that case, I won’t interfere with the affairs of your Sword Sect. However, the situation in the capital city has not been very stable these days. The Human Immortal List is about to begin, and there has just been a Netherkin Extermination Operation. You are one of the participants in the Human Immortal List, and I suppose the Sword Sect must have told you some things to pay attention to while participating in the Human Immortal List, right?]

The Human Immortal List is a large-scale competition held in the Immortal Nation, where young talents from various major Sects gather in the capital city during this time.

Of course, generally, there won’t be any participants who would do anything underhanded, after all, the bigwigs of the Immortal Nation are watching, and these Foundation Establishment cultivators who call themselves “geniuses” can’t stir up much trouble.

But the term “genius” itself comes with extremely high risks.

Their physique, foundation, and spiritual potential can all become valuable resources coveted by those with ill intentions.

When geniuses gather, even if there are occasionally powerful individuals keeping an eye on things, accidents are still possible.

Therefore, every time the Human Immortal List is approaching, the vigilance in the Immortal Nation is raised significantly. Especially now, with the Empress having only reached the Nascent Soul stage, they have even sought the assistance of some powerful cultivators from within the Taoist Sects.

Perhaps Little Yuli was also lost in thought after seeing these words, as she didn’t immediately reply.

So Luo Wusheng continued to send a message.

[If you encounter danger outside, you can use the Star-Moon Jade Pendant I gave you, which contains a bit of my spiritual energy and can unleash one of my spells. But it’s still best to communicate with me using the wooden sword message transmission as soon as possible, and I will come to find you.]

…

In a quiet room.

As she looked at the writing that appeared on her wooden sword, Lu Yuliu blinked slightly, and her other hand subconsciously touched the Star-Moon Jade Pendant adorned with tiny star diamonds around her neck.

After seeing Luo Wusheng’s words, a momentary confusion appeared on her small face.

She had been wearing the Star-Moon Jade Pendant for so long, how did she not know that it was sealed with the power of that annoying bully?

She sensed the beautiful jade stone once again but still found nothing special.

However, Lu Yuliu didn’t believe that Luo Wusheng would deceive her about something that could be exposed so easily.

So, she extended her spiritual awareness to cover the entire length of the jade pendant.

And then, among the tiny star diamonds adorning the Star-Moon Jade, she felt subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy.

These spiritual energies were not strong, but they were subtly interconnected. If all of them were activated…

The young girl widened her eyes slightly.

Looking again at the concerned words on the wooden sword, she felt a complex mix of emotions. In times like these, she actually had no Sect mission to speak of; she just wanted to avoid becoming a recluse. If she were to say she wanted to stay in a nearby inn for a few days or something… that would probably be impossible to say.

As she touched the unique jade stone in this world, Lu Yuliu couldn’t help but recall the scene when that Holy Saint of the Demon Sect had given her this Star-Moon Jade Pendant.

The probing question from Bai Xiaoyao earlier, the one that she uttered when she used the Enigmatic Whispering Allure, seemed to resonate in her heart once again.

As she thought about it, a faint blush appeared on the lovely face of Miss Sword Fairy.

The sound of swords ringing in her ears, this was Exquisite Sword Heart indicating that her heart was once again in turmoil.

…

After quite some time had passed, Luo Wusheng finally received a reply from Little Yuli.

[I see]

Just two words in the reply made Luo Wusheng slightly tense.

[Thank you]

Just two words in the next reply made Luo Wusheng almost shout out in joy.

Judging from this response, based on his familiarity with that girl, it seemed that Lu Yuliu’s emotions had basically calmed down.

Fortunately, even though he was a rough and boorish man, he always left a little room for maneuver in these small details.

The uniqueness of the Star-Moon Jade Pendant was originally because Little Yuli was not in a normal state when Luo Wusheng gifted it to her that day. So he had given up explaining this matter to the young girl. Later, he hadn’t forgotten about it, but he just couldn’t find the right opportunity to mention it.

He didn’t expect it to come in handy today!
