Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 164: Going Home (Part 3) “From Li Yixiao’s distress, +888!”

“From Nie Ting’s distress, +77!”

“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +9!”

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress…”

“From…”

Within the massive distress points, the three heavenly kings were the most noticeable. This must have been due to losing the relic but the amount Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin had contributed was much lesser than Li Yixiao. Lu Shu wasn’t sure the reason why.

Could it be a difference in their cultivation? Or were the two of them not as concerned about the relic?

Honestly, as Lu Shu looked at the record of the distress points Li Yixiao had contributed, and turning back to look at the depressed look of Li Yixiao atop the mountain, he felt a sense of happiness…

At this point in time, the distress points Lu Shu had amassed had broken through 80k. The distance from lighting up the sixth star was only 80k more.

During this trip to the remains, distress points were one of his greatest harvests. Lu Shu didn’t expect this…

Lu Shu wanted to get home quickly. Besides to investigate the powers of the seal of lands, the most important thing was to see Lu Xiaoyu.

Thinking till this point, Lu Shu hugged the green fruits he had picked inside the remains.

Although the spears were taken away, the fruits and the little squirrel weren’t. Lu Shu found this surprising.

After the heavenly network had announced that the Luo Cheng students could make their own way back home and that arrangements were made for the other students, Lu Shu immediately made his way down the mountain.

Jiang Shuyi followed behind Lu Shu, “Did you meet with any danger down there?”

Lu Shu waved his hand, “Nope nope, I was just following behind everyone else and minding my own business. Anything else we can talk during class next week!”

It should be Wednesday today and the daoyuan teachers had notified everyone that they could rest till next Monday before reporting back for daoyuan class.

The students needed to rest after this huge battle and the heavenly network would have to start dealing with the complaints from parents.

With regards to the daoyuan class’ future, no one could be sure.

Outside the cordoned-off area, all the parents would ask the students coming out, “Have you seen my child, he’s from so and so city’s daoyuan class, name’s so and so…”

All the parents had a look of anxiousness and Lu Shu had been questioned a few dozen times on his way down the mountain and his reply was always ‘I don’t know such a person’.

The sight of these parents made Lu Shu feel pity for them. But whether they received good or bad news, he would never know.

Actually, Lu Shu really liked the freedom of having no restraints. The other daoyuan students would probably have to face naggings from their parents and might not even have the choice of whether or not they could continue taking the daoyuan class.

Based on Lu Shu’s previous conjecture, many parents would want a withdrawal. To them, although they had hopes for their child to be successful, the expense of risking their children’s lives would lead to them choosing for their children to lead a normal life.

Only when something had happened did the parents understand that the road of training wasn’t an easy one.

Although Lu Shu liked his freedom, the sight of all these parents looking forward to their children’s return made him slightly emotional. Who knew where his parents had gone.

While Lu Shu was feeling a bit depressed, he had reached the waist of the mountain and he suddenly saw Lu Xiaoyu sitting atop a tree branch shaking her little legs.

Lu Xiaoyu’s first reaction at seeing Lu Shu was to jump off the tree branch and ran to him, pinching and pulling to see if he was hurt. But she found no injuries and was finally at ease.

But before Lu Shu could say anything to her, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly turned back to pick up the empty snack wrappers and headed down the mountain.

Lu Shu was amused. Is she still angry with me for telling her that I’d be gone for 2-3 days but in the end was gone for a week? Leaving her alone at home where she couldn’t eat or sleep well!

Lu Shu suddenly wondered how long Lu Xiaoyu had been waiting atop that tree branch. Seeing the huge pile of wrappers on the floor, that amount must have been eaten over 1-2 days…

The tree that she sat on was the tallest one in the area, probably so that she could see the furthest and to spot himself as soon as possible?

Thinking about this gave Lu Shu a warm and fuzzy feeling. Although his parents weren’t around, there was still someone waiting for him back home.

Lu Shu ran to Lu Xiaoyu’s side and walked aside her but Lu Xiaoyu didn’t even look at him. And Lu Shu was still constantly receiving distress points from her…

While they were walking, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly extended her small hand. Lu Shu smiled and immediately held her hand.

Lu Xiaoyu’s distress points finally stopped…

“Xiaoyu, I’ve harvested a lot from this remains. Look at the gold chains and watches I have. I reckon we can sell them to a pawn shop and our account will be rich!”

“Oh.”

“I’ve had many unusual encounters in this remains. I’ve seen many ghosts but I could deal with them. It’s similar to how I destroyed your conjured pig that last time,” Lu Shu spoke softly.

“Oh.”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +199…”

“Let’s go eat something nice tomorrow, how about duck blood vermicelli soup?”

“Sure.”

Hehe, your reply to this was quite fast.

The two orphans walked through the crowd of parents in the mountains which was a rather eye-catching scene.

It looked like they were a separate entity from the rest of the world and didn’t need the inclusion of anyone else. In their own world, only the two of them was enough.

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly asked softly, “Was it dangerous inside the remains?”

“It was still okay, nothing too dangerous. But many daoyuan students performed very poorly inside. They didn’t even have the courage to face skeletons that were weaker than them.” Lu Shu thought and said, “It really wasn’t as dangerous as I thought.”

“Oh,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded, “Are you hungry?”

Lu Shu was stunned, “No…”

Before he could say anything else, Lu Xiaoyu said coldly, “Say that you’re hungry!”

Lu Shu smiled, “Yes I’m hungry.”

“Okay,” Lu Xiaoyu nodded, “When we get home I’ll cook for you. I’ve already prepared the ingredients! Let’s go back home.”

At this moment, the feeling of depression which Lu Shu felt from the parents’ anxious expressions had been lifted, so this is the feeling of family.

Lu Xiaoyu had slowly matured and would even volunteer to cook for him. Lu Shu smiled, “Alright, let’s go home and eat.”
