Chapter 40: Two Pips (1/2)

Lu Yin continued to stare coldly at Gerlaine, “I said, help me apply this ointment.”

The girl gritted her teeth and spat out slowly, “Alright, but you better remember this. I’ll settle things with you one day”

She then grabbed some of the ointment and rubbed it into his back, prompting a refreshed sigh. This product from Shamrock Enterprises was quite effective; his wounds were already scabbed over. Gerlaine’s hands were soft and gentle, and with the added cooling effect of the ointment, he experienced true pleasure. His gaze towards her even softened.

However, it quickly came to an end. Wiping clean, Gerlaine spoke up, “Hey, get up. Let’s go find the next target.”

However, Lu Yin tossed her cosmic ring back to her, “I’ve had enough, no more robberies. You can carry on yourself.”

“What? No, we haven’t even found Eddy yet, we have to rob him!”

Lu Yin laughed and ignored her. Those people hadn’t considered him a huge threat before, thinking a few elites could handle him, but now that he’d beaten seven, he would certainly face more such ambushes in the future. Only a fool would keep going at this point. Rifling through the five cosmic rings, he salvaged two more cubes of star crystals before waving her goodbye and flying away.

“You idiot, where’s my armor and bow?” Gerlaine shouted behind me.

“Lend them to me for a while, I’ll return them later!” his voice faded into the distance.

Gerlaine stomped on the ground in annoyance. The bow and armor were gifted by her brother for her to defend herself with, and were the only things that could strike fear into his heart. Now, they’d been robbed by that shameless scoundrel!

……

Within the capital, Zhang Dingtian and the rest saw the results in the network as well. Bai Xue was shocked; each one of these students was from the Realm of Sky, and those that dared to work on the missions were at least top three in their schools. Almost half of them were even school leaders, and she had first-hand experience of their power. Now, Lu Yin had defeated seven of them in one battle. Just how had he gotten so strong after disappearing for only a few days?

As she was left wondering, Zhang Dingtian looked south and flashed a rare smile, “An old friend is back.”

“Zhou Shan?” Bai Xue’s eyes gleamed.

The two quickly flew towards the south, but then stopped mid-way and gazed northwards, “Another old friend. Looks like they want to help the capital in trying times.”

Bai Xue was pleasantly surprised, “Wu Sheng is here too, that’s great.”

Zhang Dingtian sighed deeply, “They shouldn’t have come. Four of the Seven Sages plus Lu Yin is still five against dozens. There’s a huge disparity here.”
