Chapter 338: Response (2/2)

“I forgot to grab his cosmic ring! There must be quite a bit of money inside.”

She was speechless.

The Ghost Monkey could not help himself from interjecting. “Seventh Bro, could you not mention money right now? Damn! You just rescued a girl, and a Daynight girl at that!”

The battle with the Explorer had caused great damage to the pirate spacecraft, and it could only barely continue floating through space. As more time passed, the risk of it crashing before the damaged areas were repaired would increase. However, this did not concern Lu Yin, and he immediately left.

“Thank you for before.” Lu Yin turned around to speak to Zhuo Daynight.

She looked out at the stars. “It was because you saved me, so it should have been done.”

Lu Yin laughed. “I saved you because I injured you. Whatever, what’s done is done. Now, what about my Aurora?”

Zhuo Daynight threw a cosmic ring to him. “This contains my entire fortune.”

Lu Yin casually threw it back to her. “I don’t want it.”

Zhuo Daynight could not understand him. “Don’t you urgently need money?”

“Yes, but I want others’. I don’t want yours,” Lu Yin’s reply was firm.

Zhuo Daynight fell silent.

“You can continue using my Aurora, since it’s meant to be a mode of transportation after all. But I’m curious about one thing—why do you specifically seek out and kill pirates?”

A chilliness flashed into her eyes. “Because pirates are the most repulsive scum in the universe.”

Lu Yin’s face twisted. Although her answer was short, he saw a glimpse of the intense hatred in her heart.

Lu Yin was curious. “But you can’t overdo it. If I wasn’t here this time, then were you intending on fighting it out with that pirate to the very end?”

She looked at him, and her pure face revealed a hint of bewilderment. “Do you think that I’m stupid?”

Lu Yin paused, then replied, “No, not stupid.”

“Then that’s that. I’ll leave if I can’t win. But I have my trump cards as well, and there’s no harm in trying, since the pirates won’t dare to kill me.”

Lu Yin nodded. “As long as you know.”

She looked at him seriously. “How did you find out the traces of the Third Nightking?”

Lu Yin knew that she would ask him this, as very few outside the Daynight clan would have even heard about the Third Nightking. Only some ancient existences would know about such matters. “I’ve already given Elder Yuanjing an answer to this question.”

She had a complex gaze. “You used that information to save me.”

He nodded, and then noticed that her gaze was very strange. It was not joyful, but instead, seemed to be a little remorseful. “What’s the matter?”

She shook her head and turned away. “You can go, but don’t forget your promise from before.”

Lu Yin nodded. This woman had hidden her worries, but they did not concern him. She had willingly testified for him, which truly moved Lu Yin. In turn, he had done everything to repay her kindness, although it did not involve any romantic emotions. He didn’t have the emotional capacity to worry about this woman’s matters in addition to his own.

“Then I’ll leave now. You should as well, quickly.” After saying that, he left.

After Lu Yin left, Zhuo Daynight looked up and closed her eyes in agony. “I never thought that I, Zhuo Daynight, would become a sinner of the Dayking bloodline. I’m sorry, Father, Mother.”

“Seventh Bro, what’s the matter with that woman? She doesn’t seem very happy that you rescued her.” The Ghost Monkey was seething.

Lu Yin’s tone instantly turned cold. “None of your business.”

“Woah, I’m on your side! I realize that you always vent your anger at me, but I have my own dignity too.”

Lu Yin could guess why Zhuo Daynight was unhappy, as the monkey had informed him that the Daynight clan was split into the Dayking and Nightking bloodlines. The Dayking bloodline was controlled by the Sealed Cage Technique and were essentially slaves to the Nightking bloodline. Now that he had revealed information on the whereabouts of the Third Nightking, the Dayking bloodline would never be able to escape from their predicament after the Third Nightking was freed. Blaming him was a very natural response.

However, Lu Yin could not tell her the truth that it was impossible for the Third Nightking to escape, since he did not know if Nightking Yuanjing had messed with her body or not. Ever since he had learned of the truth about the Daynight clan, Lu Yin had viewed the Nightking bloodline in an unfavorable light, and to some extent, he even detested them.

He was not delayed that long by the pirates, and he continued on his path through the universe. There were only six days left until the wedding, but he would be able to rush to East San Dios within five days if his current route didn’t change.

But there were always infinitely many variables in the universe, and the route was changed yet again, pushing the arrival date back by yet another day.
