Chapter 1409: I’m Not Your Tool

“Dream… On…” Wang Lu said through gritted teeth.

“Just pretend I didn’t say anything. Hurry up and eat.” Zhou Wen had no choice but to give up.

Over the past two days, Zhou Wen had finally obtained a Mutated Overlord Snake Companion Egg. An Sheng had also helped him collect some relatively suitable Companion Eggs.

However, considering the low success rate from before, it was very difficult to fuse Ever-Victorious and Unstoppable with just one Mutated Overlord Snake.

If he had Wang Lu’s luck, the success rate would be much higher.

However, if Wang Lu wasn’t willing, Zhou Wen wouldn’t force her. He would try fusing again when he returned.

“How’s the Wang family’s situation now? If you need help, just inform me.” Zhou Wen sat down opposite Wang Lu and uncapped the wine. He poured a glass for Wang Lu and one for himself.

“It’s not a problem to survive, but the Wang family hasn’t found a path that we can call our own. Standing at a fork in the road, we don’t know how to proceed.” Wang Lu smiled and raised her wine glass, clinking it gently with Zhou Wen’s. “Cut the crap. How did you get on the rankings? Don’t tell me you relied on Heavenly Robe.”

“I’ve mastered a spatial circulation skill. The effects are similar to Heavenly Robe. It can prevent the Calamity-grade bullets from injuring me,” Zhou Wen answered truthfully.

“It’s no wonder you don’t need my Invincible Lucky Star,” said Wang Lu.

“It’s not that I don’t need it. After all, it’s yours. How can I keep hoarding it? Besides, you have to keep safe. With the Invincible Lucky Star and Heavenly Robe, at least you won’t be injured so easily in the future,” Zhou Wen said.

“Has the sun risen in the west? You are actually worried about me?” Wang Lu looked at Zhou Wen with a faint smile.

“Of course. If anything happens to you, who can lend me their luck?” Zhou Wen said.

If looks could kill, Zhou Wen would probably have been diced by Wang Lu’s gaze.

“Go to hell. Don’t come looking for me again. I’m not your tool,” Wang Lu said through gritted teeth as she stood up angrily.

Zhou Wen hurriedly went over to press down on her shoulders and made her sit down again.

“Don’t be angry. I didn’t mean that. Even if you don’t have luck, I don’t wish for you to be injured. Luck and whatnot are just a bonus. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to lend it to me,” Zhou Wen hurriedly explained.

“Humph, that’s more like it.” Only then did Wang Lu sit down and continue eating.

The two of them chatted about what had happened during their school days and recalled their beautiful youth.

Zhou Wen didn’t mention using Wang Lu’s luck again. He wasn’t someone who liked to force things.

“Do you still have records of the debt?” Zhou Wen asked Wang Lu after the meal.

“It’s all in my notebook. Don’t even think about reneging on it.” Wang Lu took out a small notebook from her pocket and patted it smugly.

“Alright, let’s strike off one using today’s meal and I’ll slowly repay the rest in the future. I have to return now.” Zhou Wen packed his things and prepared to return to Luoyang.

He couldn’t leave Luoyang for too long during An Tianzuo’s absence.

“Hey.” Just as Zhou Wen was about to leave, Wang Lu stopped him.

“What?” Zhou Wen turned to look at Wang Lu.
