Spare Me, Great Lord!

Panda Novel

Walking along a narrow, dimly-lit lane alone, Lu Shu turned around the street corner, not noticing the figure lurking in the darkness.

It was not due to Lu Shu’s lack of alertness, though, but the other person’s shadow-related power that almost turned him invisible like a specter in the darkness.

All of a sudden, the assassin sprang out of the shade, like a night owl dashing towards its prey. A black dagger gleamed in his right hand.

Horrified, Lu Shu turned back, his eyes filled with fear. Divine water quickly welled up from him, but it was too late.

Fully prepared, the other person approached fast and steadily. In an instant, the gap between them was closed and Lu Shu screamed in agony!

“Okay. Great. This scene is done,” Zhong Yutang said, “You are such an actor, Lu Shu. I’m surprised. Last time it took us the entire night to ensure the footage was up to standard.”

Lu Shu, “…”

When was the last time? How many times on Earth have you done this?!

Then, Lu Shu went to the makeup room. The artist spent one whole hour on him and Lu Shu felt he was going to die of awkwardness. It was the first time in his life putting on cosmetics!

One hour later, he walked out with a severely wounded, bleeding abdomen and a pale face. Curious, Lu Shu asked, “Why does it have to be so detailed? It can’t be filmed clearly at night anyway.”

Zhong Yutang shook his head. “Those from the Darkness Kingdom are very picky. We need to achieve perfection in every detail.”

They were kept busy until almost dawn.

During their interaction, Lu Shu had gradually become familiar with You Mingyu. It was then that he learned that You Mingyu was the last person who was asked to be captured with a reward. Then, after the arrangement by the Heavenly Network to “kill” him, he concealed his identity immediately and became an undercover agent. Since then, he had been acting under the role of the top assassin among individual Practitioners.

A Metahuman, You Mingyu was recruited by the Heavenly Network at the start of Spirit Qi regeneration. Afterwards, he worked in South East Asia to deal with overseas matters. Gradually, he was appointed the person in charge of SEA after gaining enough trust.

Nonetheless, his conflicts with the Collection of Gods soon landed him in trouble.

Now, the Heavenly Network wanted him back in the system, as the job as an undercover agent was definitely difficult and risky.

On one hand, the Network would show full respect to the agent’s own decision. On the other hand, the loss would be immense if the agent chose to betray them due to his dissatisfaction with the current situation.

Truth be told, Lu Shu felt slightly uncomfortable in his interactions with You Mingyu because of his effeminate way of speaking and his habit of hiding his face in the shade of his hood even during conversations.

But Lu Shu did not pay much attention to it. Maybe it was his way to disguise himself, Lu Shu thought. In his impression, You Mingyu was a calm and cold-blooded killer.

Contrary to Lu Shu’s expectations, You Mingyu was actually rather talkative.

Lu Shu was puzzled. Would he not leak the secrets accidentally since he liked to talk so much?

But one thing was for sure. Zhong Yutang was a habitual offender of such activities…

Moreover, You Mingyu was involved in the Koh Chang remains this time as well. He said he had been watching Lu Shu and Li Yixiao in secret from the crowd.

Lu Shu was enlightened. Just as expected, the Heavenly Network had indeed sent backup for them, just that none of them showed up.

But were you not concerned about You Mingyu’s safety in Li Yixiao’s presence, Heavenly King Nie?

In the next scene, Lu Shu fled desperately, but signs of exhaustion were starting to appear. Meanwhile, You Mingyu followed behind slowly, as though waiting for the collapse of his prey like a cheetah that aimed to take down his target with the least energy expended.

In the end, Lu Shu fell to the floor due to blood loss…

“Okay. This one is done too,” Zhong Yutang walked over and said, “We are almost done. You Mingyu, teach Lu Shu how to do the next one.”

Then, he turned to discuss with the post-production committee about how to cut the films. Lu Shu was stunned. Was he really a pro from the Heavenly Network? Or was his real identity a director?

Then, Lu Shu spoke to You Mingyu with admiration, “Brother, your acting skills are wonderful. Just now you did so well in cruelly killing your prey. What a pity that it couldn’t be captured in the video.”

You Mingyu took off his hood, revealing his pale yet beautiful face. He smiled shyly. “I like to watch movies of this genre. In fact, I think I might have been a bit too dramatic just now and I want to do it again.”

Ha, such commitment!

Then Lu Shu remembered that he might have hurt You Mingyu earlier as he struggled. Although You Mingyu was also a Class C, it might still be painful. Thus, Lu Shu apologized, “I’m sorry if I hurt you just now. It’s my first time doing this and I don’t know how much force to use. Please forgive me.”

“It’s okay. Although it hurts, it’s quite pleasurable,” You Mingyu replied with a bashful grin.

That gave Lu Shu goose bumps at once.

Pleasurable?! Are you sure about your choice of word? I’ve never seen such hobbies outside certain kinds of movies!

What happened to your supposed image of a cold-blooded undercover killer?!

Subconsciously Lu Shu took a small step back. You Mingyu immediately explained himself, “Actually I can’t help it, really. Please don’t be mistaken… Will you feel disgusted by this…”

“No. Not at all. I respect all interests,” Lu Shu replied, “In fact…”

You Mingyu’s face lit up at the twist. He interrupted, “In fact you like it too? Are you an S or M?”

Lu Shu’s face went straight. “I’m an XXL…”

“From You Mingyu’s distress, +666!”

Then You Mingyu realized that he had misinterpreted Lu Shu’s meaning. But he did not ask for his shirt size either…

Suddenly Zhong Yutang shouted over, “We need to adjust the equipment to finish up with the last few scenes. You two can come over for a rest.”

“Alright.” Lu Shu immediately seized the opportunity to leave the conversation, but You Mingyu followed too. Then, the crew passed them a thermos flask and two cups. Lu Shu thanked him.

You Mingyu murmured softly, “Actually I don’t want it either. Often times I’m troubled by it too… But I don’t know what to do.”

Lu Shu thought, why are you talking to me about this, mate? We’ve only met twice if the one in the remains was considered…

Upon second thoughts, he said, “Take the cup.”

Unsure what he was up to, You Mingyu obeyed nonetheless. Then, Lu Shu poured hot water from the thermos flask into the cup until it spilled over onto You Mingyu’s fingers. He wanted to tell You Mingyu that…

You Mingyu exclaimed, “Ah! Feels so good!”

Lu Shu, “???”
