Chapter 539: That’s Unfair!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was said that every advancement above Class B was like going through hell. Not literally, though, but in terms of difficulty level.

To people like Nie Ting, Class C was nothing more than just the foundation.

However, Lu Shu’s top concern at the moment was not advancement, but how to sell his 90,000 plus magical stones...

It was a great joy when he took them back then, but he was now having a headache over how to exchange them into cash! Lu Shu thought about the Luo City black market, but it might not have the capacity for such a high input volume. Besides, it would surely alert the Heavenly Network with so many magical stones traded in one go. Lu Shu seemed to be left with no other alternatives but to cause more trouble now...

In the evening, the bell rang, marking the end of school. Lu Xiaoyu waved her little hand and called over to Lu Shu, “Let’s go, Lu Shu! Follow your senpai and go home!” historical

Lu Shu’s face darkened under their classmates’ startled stares. Having sensed Lu Shu’s embarrassment, Lu Xiaoyu shot him a concerned look, wondering whether she had gone too far...

Silence. Lu Xiaoyu did not utter a word for a long moment and stretched the edge of her clothes in distress.

Lu Shu could not help but smile seeing her like that. It suddenly brought him back to one month ago, when Lu Xiaoyu saved him from his most lonely moments. Back then, she traveled northward despite the snowy winds, pushed open the heavy door of the Internet cafe, and appeared right in front of him when he needed her the most. So, what was there to be upset about? Lu Shu held her hand and asked, “What do you want for dinner?”

Lu Xiaoyu chuckled and her face brightened. “Fried tomatoes with eggs!”

Thus, under their classmates’ stares, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu walked out of the classroom. Clouds were floating in the sky, and two shadows were cast on the side of the corridor under the warm sunset glow of winter.

In the past, they all knew that Lu Shu had a younger sister. In order to take care of her, Lu Shu had to make a living by selling boiled eggs everyday. Thus, his classmates were all curious about what his sister was like. However, when she had finally been transferred to their class, they shared the same feeling... They should not have met her.

Lu Xiaoyu was pretty and smart. She immediately sparked a thought in the hearts of many people, the government owed them a younger sister.

But after a day spent together, they realized she was more like a demon than a sister. One day, Ye Lingling suffered from a poor appetite all night due to Lu Xiaoyu’s one-sentence comment...

Yet, Lu Shu appeared just when Lu Xiaoyu was believed to be a wild, misbehaving girl. They dared to swear that Lu Xiaoyu had never been so sweet while Lu Shu was away!

On their way home, Lu Xiaoyu asked carefully, “Lu Shu, are you mad?”

Lu Shu gave her a resigned smile. “There’s nothing to be mad with you about. But please don’t be so dramatic next time.”

“Sure.” Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head firmly. Her white down jacket was pure and snow white.

Other students looked at their figures in silence. For some reason, it felt that there were only two types of people in the world. One was Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, and the other was the rest of them.

Their height difference was apparent, but it seemed just right, as though it was supposed to be like this since the start of the time.

At night, in the Number 4 Courtyard apartment, Xingshu Road...

Lu Xiaoyu warned coldly, her brows locked together, “Lu Shu, you’d better not lure me into eating strange stuff!”

Having tried convincing Lu Xiaoyu for half an hour, Lu Shu’s mouth had gone dry. “This is the abyss fruit, good for your cultivation!”

“Humph.” Lu Xiaoyu summoned Anthony, who was always giggling. She pointed at Anthony with one hand and placed the other on her hip. “The last time you took out that thing, my Anthony was still fine. But take a look at him now!”

Lu Xiaoyu grew more and more angry as she spoke. She glared at Anthony. “Stop laughing!”

But to no avail...

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +999!”

“That was an accident...” Lu Shu could not find a valid excuse either. “But this is really not the soul pearl I used last time. It’s the same as my celestial fruit! Trust me!”

Lu Xiaoyu’s reaction towards the abyss fruit was one that Lu Shu had never expected. As of now, Lu Xiaoyu had contributed more than 5,000 distress points to him, but what if she still refused to yield?

“Accident? You did it intentionally. Say it, do you want to see me giggle?” Lu Xiaoyu asked, expressionless.

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll eat one first. And you will eat if I don’t giggle. How about that?” Lu Shu was frustrated. His abyss fruits were not poisonous!

“Okay.” Lu Xiaoyu sneered, crossing her arms.

Lu Shu daringly tried it out. It should be fine to eat an abyss fruit, since nothing happened to Lu Xiaoyu after she ate a celestial fruit.

He swallowed the abyss fruit. Indeed, similar to celestial fruits, the abyss fruit transformed into energy immediately after it entered Lu Shu’s mouth. Then, it rolled into Lu Shu’s celestial map. In the next instant, however, both Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were stunned!

At that moment, he could sense distinctly that instead of absorption by the celestial map, a stream of dark energy permeated all the stars directly and flowed into the unknown space!

Shocked, Lu Xiaoyu looked at herself before looking at Lu Shu again. “Lu Shu, why is the power in my celestial map growing when you eat the abyss fruit?!”

“... No idea.”

What the heck?! Lu Shu was utterly confused. By right, nothing should have happened, just like when Lu Xiaoyu ate celestial fruits. Lu Shu was once worried that it might be too slow if Lu Xiaoyu solely relied on natural means to build up her power. Thus, it would be nice that she could improve through other alternatives without taking up his own stock of distress points.

But Lu Shu felt something was not right!

“Then there’s no need for me to eat it.” Lu Xiaoyu waved her hand and went to watch Naruto. “You can eat it for me.”

Lu Shu’s expression darkened at once. “You! Come back!”

“Lu Xiaoyu! Do you hear me?!”

“Come back to eat your fruits!”

But Lu Xiaoyu ignored him completely. In any case, she could still gain power when Lu Shu ate the fruit, so why should she eat it herself? She knew celestial fruits were bland and not tasty at all.

Lu Shu redeemed the remaining three abyss fruits. He simmered in anger as he ate the them all. Why had he lost control over his inferior celestial map?

What’s wrong with feeding Anthony with the soul pearl to boost his power? Why should he be blamed for that? That’s simply unfair!

“Lu Shu, look. I think Naruto has a point in turning water into mist to block his enemies’ vision and use it for detection. It’s a suitable strategy for you,” Lu Xiaoyu called to Lu Shu, curling up on the sofa.

Reluctantly, Lu Shu replied after stuffing the last abyss fruit into his mouth, “Coming.”
