Chapter 1047: Ying Luo Goes on a Rampage (1/2)

Lu Yun and Ying Luo looked at each other. They hadn’t thought that they’d bump into a newcomer as soon as they emerged from the realm monster’s body.

Ying Luo didn’t recognize You Huoran, a secluded disciple of Opposition Palace. Though the six sacred palaces were aligned with each other, secluded disciples were very mysterious. In fact, they were the most mysterious group out of the sacred palaces. This was why she’d said Lu Yun was a secluded disciple of Inception Palace when they ran into Wei Yuan earlier.

……

“I am Ying Luo of the Creation Palace, this is…” Ying Luo introduced herself first and then pointed at Lu Yun.

“Lu Yun, Inception Palace,” he interrupted Ying Luo. Since he’d displayed the power of inception in front of Ying Luo earlier, he might as well fully embrace the identity of an Inception disciple. It wasn’t like anyone would know who was who after they left the tomb.

“Ying Luo of the Creation Palace!” You Huoran’s eyes lit up and he ignored Lu Yun. Plainly, he’d heard of Ying Luo before.

“Junior sister Ying Luo, this isn’t your real appearance, is it?” His gaze seemed like it wanted to drill right through the girl in front of him. “Junior sister Ying Luo is the foremost beauty among the six sacred palaces…”

“Please conduct yourself with dignity, senior brother You!” Ying Luo’s forehead wrinkled in an angry frown.

“Ahem!” Realizing that he was out of line, You Huoran hastily adjusted his attitude and bowed to Ying Luo. “Ah, junior sister, there are many annoying mosquitoes on the island. We could be easily stung to death if we don’t keep our wits about us. If my guess is right, the key to solving this problem has to do with the crowd of realm monster corpses above us.

“Will you join me, junior sister, and investigate what mysteries may lie with the realm monsters?” He was completely ignoring Lu Yun, as if the other young man didn’t exist.

“You can go yourself, senior brother You. Junior brother Lu and I have just arrived and need to familiarize ourselves with the environment,” Ying Luo responded brusquely.

“Junior brother Lu?” You Huoran finally looked at Lu Yun. “What, are you trying to take junior sister Ying Luo from me?”

Lu Yun frowned slightly, finally understanding why Wei Yuan had treated him with hostility in the absence of any provocation earlier. Ying Luo was the foremost beauty of the six sacred palaces? The greatest beauty was second level mortal realm?

He made a close examination of Ying Luo and happened to meet her flustered gaze. It wasn’t until now that he noticed she was using a special combat art to conceal her appearance. Unbidden, the corners of Lu Yun’s lips lifted upward. He opened his mouth and daintily verbalized, “Fuck off.”

“What did you say?” You Huoran’s eyes narrowed.

“Didn’t you hear me the first time? I told you to fuck off.” Grabbing at thin air, Lu Yun’s hand returned with a longsword. Rays of emerald green power rose from his body and slowly shifted into a champagne color, ultimately collecting as a huge dragon of pale gold.

It was his first time fully deploying the power of inception. This power seemed to possess a life of its own, representing the genesis of all things and describing the origin of the chaos.

“The power of inception! You’re from the Inception Palace!” You Huoran had focused completely on Ying Luo earlier and ignored everything about Lu Yun. He finally realized who he was up against when he identified the energy ripples the young man displayed.

“But so what if you’re from the Inception Palace? If you dare fight me for junior sister Ying Luo, you will… What, wait, why are you attacking me without another word? This isn’t how things are done!” Halfway through a pompous speech, You Huoran retreated in panic and just barely managed to evade Lu Yun’s thunderous blow.

“I'm about to beat the crap out of you, but you want to cry about how things are done?” Chuckling, Lu Yun gently flicked his sword upward and once more sent out the golden dragon of sword qi.
