102: El engaño de Little Fish (2/2)
Lu Shu also pondered if he could have survived the fugitives' deadly technique back then. He believed it would be possible due to his Star Silk Robe, which protected against their abilities. Based on energy fluctuations, while still at an E rank, he felt that the other two E-rank individuals were not as strong.
After a long time, Lu Shu said to Lvy Xiao Yu, "There are no suspicious figures around. What should we do next?"
Lu Shu thought for a moment and replied, "Stay here and wait for my text message."
Then, he covered himself with his Star Silk Robe and rushed towards the location of the incident. He was still worried about possible ambushes, but in reality, it turned out to be unnecessary. Lu Shu stood on that small path for nearly half an hour without seeing anyone approaching him. He pretended to leave several times, but nothing happened.
Only then did he confirm his initial assumption and felt relieved. However, he believed that being cautious was always better.
Lu Shu sent a text message for Lvy Xiao Yu to come over. The girl bounced excitedly as she arrived.
"Can you sense the souls around here?" Lu Shu asked.
"Yes," Lvy Xiao Yu nodded, "A tall man and two shorter ones."
Lu Shu nodded, "Can we capture that tall one?"
"Yes, it's done," Lvy Xiao Yu confirmed.
"Let's go!" Lu Shu led Lvy Xiao Yu to continue their journey.
"Now can you bring him out of his form?" Lu Shu asked curiously.
Lvy Xiao Yu tried and said, "It seems… the Star Power isn't sufficient. But it might work with time. I think a day should be enough."
Lu Shu finally felt relieved at this point; this was their biggest gain for tonight!
With this skill, they were now equivalent to having an additional D-rank Force Awakener as backup! This was a real boost in strength. In the future, if he really needed to worry about Lvy Xiao Yu's safety, he could have her manifest while hiding himself.
Thinking of it, Lvy Xiao Yu’s skill seemed very useful indeed.
"Let's head home," Lu Shu said happily; nothing else could make him happier than directly enhancing his power today.
However, Lvy Xiao Yu shook her head. "We can't go back yet. We need to go to Xiao Street Tianfu for some late-night snacks."
Lu Shu laughed and said, "This is the excuse we used to fool Grandpa!"
"No, you promised me," Lvy Xiao Yu said seriously.
Lu Shu was confused: "When did I promise? Are you just waiting for this opportunity?"
Lvy Xiao Yu analyzed, "Think about it. If we say we're going out for snacks but come back empty-handed, would they believe us?"
"…" Lu Shu thought and realized she had a point!
He suddenly felt happy; perhaps he was just celebrating their great success tonight. After all, he did want to give in to the little girl’s desires.
The cold mixed vegetables and dan dan noodles from Xiao Street Tianfu were dishes that Lvy Xiao Yu remembered fondly after eating only once. Since they weren’t short on money anymore, it wouldn’t be difficult to satisfy this small request.
The two of them found an opportunity to jump down from the roof and made their way there in high spirits.
No one knew what kind of major events they had orchestrated tonight.
