Chapter 376: Chance Encounter (1/2)

“If the Neohuman Alliance is one of the Three Dark Hands, then the other two Hands must possess about the same power, right?”

The Ghost Monkey sighed. “I don’t know about that since the Court of Seven Names has declined, but even then, its power cannot be fathomed by normal people. As for the last Hand, no one knows.”

“Then, are members of the other two Hands also eliminated when the universe evaluates the younger generation?”

“Maybe, but they probably aren’t at the standard of the Ten Arbiters. Those ten are the result of the universe’s great change.”

“How do you know so much? You even know the characteristics of a Mutant Corpse King.” Lu Yin was baffled.

The monkey was pleased by Lu Yin’s question. “Everything I know was written in those ancestors’ records. They roamed the universe for many years, and they naturally ended up knowing a lot.”

“Then tell me what’s above the grey eyes.” Lu Yin was curious.

The monkey paused. “Green eyes.”

“And above that?”

“Seventh Bro, do you really think that I’m an idiot? Only a ghost would know what’s above green eyes. Anyone who’s seen above that has died! They wouldn’t even have a chance to record it down!

“Right, Seventh Bro, how did you survive? Last I remember, we should have been killed by a Hunter.”

Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “You didn’t see?”

“See what?”

Lu Yin did not know if the monkey was faking ignorance since he hadn’t had enough time to screen off the beast’s senses before using the die. “A powerhouse happened to pass by and saved us on their way.”

“A mighty powerhouse? They saved us? In that case, why didn’t they send us someplace safe? We even ran into a Corpse King!” the Ghost Monkey continued to nitpick at the details.

Lu Yin grew impatient. “Where are all these questions coming from? Any more and I’ll block you off again.”

The monkey was rendered speechless and could only mutter silently to himself.

Lu Yin finally managed to get his hands on a spacecraft, but it was a very ordinary vessel and much slower than what Lu Yin had been travelling on before. Also, the spacecraft presented a new problem for him.

While he was escaping, the personal spacecraft had been struck by something and damaged, so it would not be able to go all the way to the Northline Flowzone. Lu Yin had no choice but to look for the nearest transfer planet and hitch a ride on a merchant’s ship to the Northline Flowzone.

Lu Yin did not plan on keeping this spacecraft since it was too slow. It also wasn’t an Aurora, so it couldn’t be upgraded.

When he walked out of the space station, he looked up and took a deep breath. A cacophony of melodies and noises instantly assaulted his senses. The environment on this planet was acceptable, and the development of its technology was pretty good. Overall, it had a rather lively atmosphere.

He used the perks that came with his Honor Points to quickly seek out the person with the highest authority at the space station. Once they recognized him, they quickly expedited his processing through the checkpoints and gave him a new change of clothes. After only about ten minutes, Lu Yin was aboard a passenger flight headed towards the Northline Flowzone, and in a luxury cabin to boot.

Lu Yin sat in a sleak, cozy recliner within the cabin, ready to check the news regarding the Northline Flowzone. But as soon as he opened his gadget, a message appeared with a bunch of words that caused black lines to crease Lu Yin’s forehead. “Return the money, return the money…”

Lu Yin was speechless. That brat Lulu was pushing him. She had probably gone to visit the Great Yu Empire, not discovered any clues related to the Seven Courts, and then directed all her frustrations onto him.

Lu Yin replied, “Hang tight.”

Not long after, Lulu sent him another message. “You’re so cruel to not pay me back.”

Lu Yin’s face distorted. He had never even said that he wouldn’t pay her back!

He was about to retort when he noticed a fragrance waft towards him, and he looked up to see a beauty sitting in the sleek chair next to him. She nodded amicably towards Lu Yin.

Lu Yin’s eyes lit up. She was such a beautiful lady, and she only seemed to be about twenty or so. Her style was fashionable, but not too revealing, and her high-heels were very noticeable. Lu Yin had not seen any of the ladies around him wearing high-heels before since they were not suited for battle.

This woman was elegant and different from the combative females that Lu Yin was usually around. She had a gentle aura around her. It was not a pure gentleness like Ming Yan, but more like a concealed sharpness, where a tough interior was covered with a soft veneer.

“Nice curves, Seventh Bro. She’s checking you out! Time to make a move!” the monkey shrieked within Lu Yin’s head.

Since he had been in a hurry, Lu Yin had ended up boarding the lowest grade passenger vessel. Even though he was in a luxury cabin, it wasn’t actually a single room and housed two people. He had been wondering who would be his companion for this trip, but he had never imagined that he would end up paired with a beauty.

Lu Yin nodded amicably towards the girl and then looked back to his gadget, ready to write an angry reply to Lulu.

At that moment, the girl stretched out a slender, pure-white hand to Lu Yin. “Student Lu, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Lily Anne.”
