Chapter 140 Come in with me
Lu Ren, whom the girls were concerned about, was being carried by his master as they rushed out of the mist.
Shen Peijue asked, "You mean, a woman stole the remains of the Tai Sui from that mountain-eating beast? Was she from the Divine Mother Sect?"
Lu Ren pondered for a moment: "It shouldn't be the Divine Mother Cult, it's—"
Seeing his apparent hesitation, the white-haired girl looked at him and laughed, "Wow? You know quite a lot, don't you? Can't you tell your master?"
Although the young lady had said that he shouldn't tell anyone about the blessing from the Goddess, he and the Shen family were now completely bound together, and the person in front of him was the great-grandmother of the Shen family, as well as his master.
His seniority is even higher than that of Zhuque of Xingye Mansion, so it seems that his master is an extraordinary person even in the Burning Sun Realm.
No, now it's almost certain. Master Bai Mao possesses a fragment of Tai Sui's body, which means that the other party should be a figure from three hundred years ago, just like the Grand Elder of the Gu Clan and Gu Tong'er.
Lu Ren honestly confessed to the Goddess's blessing. Sure enough, his white-haired master reacted indifferently, simply saying casually, "All beings are one? It's best to use that ability sparingly. Using it too much can easily lead to mental instability, turning you into a madman like the rats of past generations. It has nothing to do with whether your mental attribute is low or high."
"oh----"
Shen Peijue glanced at him again and asked, "But aren't you going to get rid of that sin of lust? The longer it lasts, the more severe the backlash will be, right?"
"Wait, did I just mention my new talent?"
"—I already told you, are you so tired you don't even remember what you said?"
Lu Ren was taken aback by this and said somewhat awkwardly, "This, well, if we lift the restrictions now, it might—"
The white-haired girl looked at his helpless expression with a mischievous smile in her eyes, and then said, "As expected of a perverted disciple, even his talents have a bit of a perverted element."
Lu Ren was even more embarrassed and could only say, "This is not something I can decide. I've heard that some of the consequences are even more bizarre, such as having grass growing on your head, being unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and Ali's family. I heard that one of Ali's uncles can't help but chase after the sun when it sets."
"That's true, but you should still get rid of it soon. Isn't it just a backlash from lust? Your master will take care of it for you."
'
Lu Ren was shocked upon hearing this. "Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate—?"
"What's wrong with that? You're this age now. Your parents should be the ones teaching you, but since they're both gone, as your elder, I have to take on that responsibility!"
What do you mean by the responsibility of parents and elders? Parents and elders can't possibly strip down and prepare to teach their children by example, can they? What you're describing is just a story from a novel!
Or is it that in the master's eyes, sex is just a casual thing, and that women are casual about such things?
A hint of suspicion arose in Lu Ren's heart, only to hear his master, full of vigor, carrying him and flying towards the city, saying, "Come on, your master will take you to visit a brothel!"
Is this woman normal?
"We're out of the foggy area!"
As the clouds and mist dissipated, the night sky reappeared, revealing the twinkling stars of human settlements nestled in the mountains and fields.
Almost all the void beasts within the void realm were annihilated by that meteorite that unleashed deadly intent, and by the aftershocks that covered a hundred miles.
However, during the period before the mist of time opened, the void beasts that had invaded the human world from the void realm had not yet been completely dealt with.
Looking down from 10,000 meters above the ground, the city appears like a spark nestled among the mountains, and nothing can be seen clearly. But looking at the land below, Lu Ren suddenly felt a pang of heartache, followed by emotions of sorrow, desolation, and grief.
That wasn't his emotion; it was the confusion, helplessness, and sorrow of the hundreds of thousands of people in Luntai and Miquan after experiencing the pain. This was the influence of all living beings.
"Master, could you—fly a little lower?"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"It sounds like someone is crying downstairs?"
His master didn't reply, but continued flying towards the clan's territory. Confused, he called out to his master, but vaguely heard the other's somewhat impatient tone, as if he had said, "Here we go again."
He asked, "What? It's happening again?"
The girl grew impatient and said, "Isn't it normal for people to cry? So many families down there have been broken apart, fathers and mothers gone, sons and daughters dead, husbands and wives dead. For every death, there's a cry. How can you possibly manage it all? Are you a saint?"
Lu Ren was stunned. He hadn't said anything, so why was his master reacting so strongly?
"—Um, I didn't say I was going to get involved, did I?"
"Then stop your babbling. There will be the Yanzhou garrison, the Professionals Association, the Xingye Prefecture, and the local gentry in charge. It's not your place, a Great Sage of the Fire-Burning Realm, to save us from suffering."
Lu Ren tentatively asked in a low voice, "Then the Shen family must also be a local gentry family?"
Master Bai Mao remained silent for a moment, his face grim, and asked, "Is it absolutely necessary to intervene?"
"I really didn't say that—"
The white-haired girl snorted, "You little cutie."
Then, Lu Ren felt his body lighten, and a strong sense of weightlessness washed over him as he plummeted downwards.
Suddenly, the master released his grip and threw him down.
Lu Ren was startled. Although he was exhausted, he still had the strength to float. However, just as he was about to use his mental power to fly, he suddenly found that all the power in his body was sealed off.
He couldn't fly; he was falling, tumbling in the air.
A fierce wind whipped through his clothes, his hair flew wildly, and the wind made it hard for him to open his eyes. Every time he opened his eyes, the stars and the ground seemed to be flipped upside down. He looked up at the girl in the sky, who was standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him with a hint of anger.
What had he done to offend her? Lu Ren thought to himself, feeling frustrated. He didn't think he was going to fall to his death at all, but he still shouted for help.
"Master, Master, please save me!"
Sure enough, the next moment, he felt himself fall into a warm embrace. Long, silvery-white hair brushed against his face, and a silvery laugh rang in his ears. The two of them seemed to be spinning in the air and flying downwards. The speed was too fast, so Lu Ren had to close his eyes. The wind and the girl's hair were licking his face, tickling him. The girl's laughter in his ears also tickled his ears.
She was an unpredictable old woman, and Lu Ren had known about her since their time in the Shen clan's territory.
At the same time, Lu Ren saw that the stars were falling, and countless starlight fell from the Milky Way, drawing countless trails of light in the sky, like a magnificent meteor shower.
No, those aren't stars, they're fireflies.
Countless fireflies emerged from the master's body and shot down from the sky.
The entire city looked up at the descending starlight. They initially thought it was another disaster, but as the starlight fell among the crowd, those who were seriously injured suddenly felt a warmth within their bodies, and their wounds began to heal slowly.
Lu Ren heard it. Someone in the city was crying. The sound was very soft, as if it were scattered and gathered by the wind, intermittently blending into the city. It was impossible to tell whether it was a person crying or the sigh of the deceased.
But at this moment, the emotions of the disaster victims were no longer as suppressed as before. The sound of weeping gradually spread throughout the city as fireflies fell from the sky.
Fireflies converge to form a river floating in the air, slowly drifting above the city at night, carrying the mourning of the living for the dead and healing the pain of the living.
Lu Ren looked down at the crowd, speechless.
"What can a mere Flame Reaper like you do? In the end, you still need your master's help. You've healed hundreds of thousands of people, including several thousand professionals. Even I'm almost exhausted. You can disregard yourself, but you need to think about the people around you who care about you, understand?"
Lu Ren was speechless. "I really didn't say I was going to do anything—"
"I really didn't say I was going to do anything~"
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, mimicking his manner of speaking, acting like a child despite her age.
However, at that moment, a strong voice called out from below, "Ning Xiu, the garrison commander of Yanzhou, thanks this sister for her help!"
Ning Xiu looked up at the sky and saw—a white-haired girl carrying a boy. Hmm, that distinctive white hair, from the Shen family? He seemed to have never seen her before, and she seemed very powerful. This family really has a lot of old monsters.
Shen Peijue glanced at him, too lazy to even bother with him, but she noticed the twenty-meter-tall, demon-like purple-iridium-level void beast confronting him.
The white-haired girl glanced at it, and a firefly appeared from her fingertip. The next moment, a ray of light appeared in the night, connecting the girl's fingertip to the monster's forehead.
With a single blow, the Purple Iridium-level Void Beast, which required a Frost Moon Realm professional to fight to the death, was instantly killed!
Ning Xiu was somewhat stunned. Even if the Vermilion Bird were right in front of him, it would be impossible for it to wipe out a Purple-Iridium-level Void Beast with a wave of its hand. Where did this deity come from?
The man didn't even glance at him. The woman then carried the boy away, and the sound of their conversation could be faintly heard.
"Master, didn't you say it was all used up?"
"Huh? Even if you're starving to death, don't you have the strength to swat a mosquito?"
"Master, could we try a different position?"
"You little rascal, you've got too many demands!"
Then, Lu Ren changed from carrying the chick to carrying her in a princess carry. Although carrying someone in a princess carry is a good posture, Lu Ren still felt that it was too awkward for a boy to be carried like that by a little girl.
"Master, why don't I fly by myself? I'm at the Fire-Bearing Realm now, and I can fly."
"Heh? You're not happy about it?"
"I'm not unhappy about it."
"Male chauvinism?"
"It's not that I'm a chauvinist—"
The white-haired girl lowered her head and looked at him with a strange smile. His face was so close, and he could smell the delicate floral fragrance emanating from her. Lu Ren felt a warmth in his heart.
His master's features were delicate and gentle, and his almond-shaped eyes seemed to be watching you all the time, but he always felt that his master was very mysterious. This girl who looked the same age as him but was actually hundreds of years old gave Lu Ren a very strange feeling.
"What are you doing, leering at your master? You dare to even have designs on your master? How did I end up taking in such a rebellious disciple?"
"—You should spend less time online, and besides, wasn't it you who suddenly started staring at me like that?"
"You've even learned to turn the tables? Wait till we get back and I'll teach you a lesson!"
"By the way, Master, when I was in the Eastern Heavenly Mountain just now, it seemed like—"
"Huh? What? Why are you stammering? Just say what you want to say!"
Lu Ren had many questions in his mind, but when he tried to speak, he found that he couldn't even remember what he wanted to ask. The confusion receded like the tide. He only remembered that after dealing with the rat in Yanxi Village, he had some questions to ask the supporting character master, but now he couldn't even remember what he wanted to ask.
"Master, haven't we met somewhere before?"
The white-haired girl paused, then laughed heartily in mid-air, saying, "Your flirting tactics are so inappropriate here! Are you stupid?"
Lu Ren scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.
He didn't know why he suddenly asked that question, but then, as if remembering something, he added, "By the way, Master, when I was wearing that bronze mask just now, I seemed to see some scenes related to you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Peijue smiled quietly and asked, "Is that so? What did you see?"
"I saw you in the forest in the Eastern Tianshan Mountains, and there seemed to be a little girl who looked about three or four years old—by the way, your hair was still black back then."
"So, do you think black hair or white hair looks better?"
"Isn't this the right time to ask that? White looks better, but too many white-haired characters can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue."
"Is that so? Then I'll dye it black when I get back."
"Master————"
The white-haired girl looked down at him and smiled, "Hmm?"
This person is always like this, strange and unpredictable, and she likes to play tricks on him from time to time. Lu Ren can't do anything about her.
She said, "That bronze mask allows you to see past events through the eyes of the person who wore it. What you just saw must have been me from three hundred years ago, right?"
"—Then when I saw Master, was that masked man your husband?"
Although he knew the other party was a widow who was several hundred years old, and he accepted that his master had had men in the past, Lu Ren still felt a little depressed when it came to discussing this matter.
"That... I guess so?" The girl's eyes crinkled with laughter as she asked, "What's wrong, are you jealous?"
Lu Ren simply said, "Your husband is quite short."
Upon hearing this, Shen Peijue laughed so hard that she swayed in the air. Then she joined Lu Ren in cursing the man, calling him a short, ugly dwarf who would never grow tall, saying that he always liked to look down on people, and that he was childish.
Despite being belittled to the point of worthlessness by her, Lu Ren could tell that his master still had feelings for her ex-husband.
Although her master has a somewhat eccentric personality, she probably sees herself as a child, so she doesn't mind having close physical contact with him. She'll make some silly jokes with him, and she's always acting without a sense of propriety. She'll even say things like, "If he can complete the mission, I'll give him a chance to pursue her."
But unlike the young ladies, Master had truly loved a man.
She had a past relationship that was higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and their separation was not due to the breakdown of their relationship, but rather to an inevitable parting of life and death.
Why would I have such abnormal thoughts when faced with a woman like this?
As the wind blew on her, Lu Ren seemed to sober up considerably, and some of his obsessions dissipated.
"Master, I've recovered quite a bit. I can fly by myself now."
Shen Peijue was stunned for a moment, then realized that the boy she was holding had floated up into the air.
She looked completely bewildered. "Hey, what's wrong? You seem to be having a little tantrum?"
"What's with the little mood? You're overthinking it."
Lu Ren sighed, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Master, you're not a child anymore, why are you always so irresponsible?"
His speech slowed considerably as he flew through the air, and the white-haired girl circled around him, utterly puzzled: "What's got you sulking about now?"
"Why are you sulking?"
Lu Ren looked helpless: "I'm not angry if you hold me, but I'm angry if you don't?"
"You're just unhappy. That's just how you are, always acting out of nowhere. Tell me!"
Lu Ren found it amusing and said, "Master, you really look like a little girl right now."
Shen Peijue's expression was inscrutable. She didn't know what was wrong with this kid, but she could clearly sense that his attitude had suddenly changed.
His gaze towards himself was no longer evasive; it became clear and open, his eyes no longer filled with ulterior motives, but rather honest and straightforward.
Back in the Shen clan's territory, the two always had some unspoken understandings between them, but now, it seemed as if there was a membrane between them that she couldn't see through.
What the heck? Does he need to be coaxed? Are you a little boy? — Oh, he does seem to be a little boy now.
But it's okay, she's the best at breaking membranes!
"Lu Ren, I'm really giving you too much credit."
As Lu Ren listened to the white-haired girl's words, he saw a jade-like hand reach out to grab him. How could he possibly dodge it? But when that hand grabbed the back of his neck, he clearly felt a change in the attributes within his body.
His profession changed from "astrologer" back to "ordinary person" once again, as his master forcibly removed him from the sin of lust!
What kind of method is this? But after all, he is at the Burning Sun Realm, so it's normal for him to have all sorts of methods.
However, Lu Ren quickly realized that at this moment, he had abstained from the great sin of lust—the feeling of being consumed by lust instantly overwhelmed him!
"Master, Master, wait—"
