Chapter 256: Lu Haikong's Fierce Battle
Chapter 256: Lu Haikong's Fierce Battle
The Devil's Plunge Valley in the Demon Cavern.
As the Fairy glanced over, everyone from Zhang Yunyi to Jiang Yuexing felt a chill run down their spines.
The old man hiding nearby made a swift retreat, taking cover more thoroughly than anyone else.
They remembered the scoundrel who had left a backup plan on Lu Wu, but they never expected it to be this woman.
In an instant, the Fairy appeared before Zhang Yunyi and Jiang Yuexing.
A long sword rested on Zhang Yunyi's neck.
This woman was indeed the most evil; years ago, she had deceived her master of the house, swindling him of his wealth and affections. It would be better to kill such an evil woman.
With the sword at his throat, Zhang Yunyi remained calm.
While Jiang Yuexing was still dazed and at a loss, Zhang Yunyi stared directly into the Fairy's eyes: "I want to see him!"
At this, Jiang Yuexing, standing beside her, finally reacted, quickly pointing to herself: "Me too."
The Fairy looked at Zhang Yunyi and then at Jiang Yuexing.
To be fair, if she had to choose one of them to meet her master, she would pick the foolish one.
But now, she wouldn't choose either of them.
Before she could refuse, Zhang Yunyi spoke up: "I have something to tell him. You can contact him first and let him decide if he wants to see me."
"Me too!" Jiang Yuexing echoed.
The Fairy still looked suspicious, not eager to deliver the message.
Zhang Yunyi played her trump card: "Tell him that if he doesn't see me, I'll have my daughter flirt with his son!"
"Me too..." Jiang Yuexing, being naive, followed suit, but then realized something was amiss: "Zhang Yunyi, this is not right. They are..."
After a long pause, Jiang Yuexing could only mutter: "Shameless woman!"
The Fairy was clearly startled by Zhang Yunyi's bold move.
Although she was a Summoned Beast, having spent a long time in the human world, she had acquired basic common sense.
She knew this was a forbidden matter.
Normally, morally sound individuals wouldn't utter such words.
And it was even less likely for them to act on it.
But after some thought, the Fairy recalled that this woman had secretly drugged her master over twenty years ago. She was one of the few who had taken the initiative and successfully taken advantage of the master, even bearing his child.
This woman might just be capable of such an act.
So, after some hesitation, the Fairy decided to contact her master.
Closing her eyes, she connected with a certain scoundrel at a distant farm, who was holding his daughter and picking fruit.
"Xiao Yue, what's the matter?"
"Two women are looking for you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Haikong's face turned grim: "Are you stupid? Didn't I tell you?
I, Lu Haikong, was forced into it back then, but I've reformed now. I won't meet any of my exes, or I'll be kneeling on a washing board if my wife finds out."
As he spoke, Lu Haikong couldn't help but think of Lu Wu.
Before Lu Wu's arrival, he would kneel on a keyboard at most, but now, without Lu Wu at home, he could only kneel on a washing board. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"I won't see them, absolutely not. Even if I, Lu Haikong, were to die, I wouldn't meet them outside."
"But that woman said that if you don't see her, she'll have her daughter flirt with Lu Wu!"
Hearing this, Lu Haikong's composure shattered.
Although several of his exes had taken this path, only a few with daughters had actually done it. He already guessed who it was.
"Alright, alright, bring her over. No, wait for me somewhere; I'll be there soon!"
As he spoke, Lu Haikong hung up the communication, and the Fairy opened her eyes.
Without saying a word to the two women, she grabbed Zhang Yunyi, and in a flash, they disappeared.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuexing, who was nearby, realized that Lu Haikong had agreed to meet Zhang Yunyi.
Moreover, by not bringing her along, it was clear he didn't want to see her.
Jiang Yuexing's heart sank.
She couldn't understand why, despite her kindness towards Lu Wu, that person still refused to meet her.
Instead, he chose to see Zhang Yunyi, that shameless woman.
Did she lose because she didn't have a daughter?
Fortunately, it wasn't twenty years ago; Jiang Yuexing had made progress. Otherwise, she would have been sitting there, tears streaming down her face.
But she couldn't calm down.
She went downstairs and gave Lu Wu, who was in the process of advancing, a couple of light punches.
...
Meanwhile, on Zhang Yunyi's side.
The Fairy pulled her, and in a flash, they found themselves on a mountain peak.
It hadn't been long since Zhang Yunyi's arrival.
Soon, a figure appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.
Lu Haikong was wearing a straw hat, dressed in work clothes, and carrying a basket filled with various fruits.
"Want a peach?"
Lu Haikong naturally offered a peach to Zhang Yunyi.
"No, thank you!"
"Never mind, Xiao Yue. You can take these back for Dudu later. It's been a while since I last saw that girl. I wonder if she's gained weight.
Ru Yu was right; Dudu is cuter with some chub."
"I'm going to meet my ex, and even Lu Haikong hasn't forgotten to check on Li Ruyu's future daughter-in-law."
Lu Haikong even casually chatted about his current partner in front of his ex, a rather scummy move, but Zhang Yunyi didn't seem to mind.
Their relationship was different from typical exes.
Jiang Yuexing was foolishly obsessed with Lu Haikong, but Zhang Yunyi never had strong feelings for him.
Her sexual orientation had never been towards men.
She had her eyes on Jiang Yuexing, but before she could make a move, Lu Wu beat her to it.
This infuriated Jiang Yuexing, who then seduced Lu Haikong.
So, despite having a daughter together, they never truly got along.
This was why Lu Haikong agreed to meet her.
In the 1619 book, the unedited version is correct!
On one hand, he felt threatened, and on the other, he anticipated the awkwardness. He also knew that Zhang Yunyi must have had a reason for contacting him.
"Just tell me what it is. My daughter is waiting for me to feed her, so I need to hurry back."
Zhang Yunyi didn't waste time either.
"It's like this. Your son and his Summoned Beast have caused trouble for Yuexing!"
"What?" Lu Haikong was taken aback.
"Recently, a heretic with clues about the Gateway, who was being monitored by the Elder Council, entered the Southern Jiangnan Heritage Land under the Council's arrangement to find clues about the Gateway.
She died inside, and if there's no surprise, your son's Summoned Beast killed her.
But now, the Council has noticed her death and is suspecting Yuexing."
"Because a foolish woman discovered that your son's friend had undergone demonic transformation after leaving the Heritage Land. Instead of reporting it to the Council, she chose to keep it hidden. Eventually, when she couldn't hide it anymore, she secretly released that person."
"Wait, which friend are you talking about?"
Lu Haikong furrowed his brows, his anger palpable.
"Lin Jianying, the male one."
"The male one? He's fine!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Haikong heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "How is Little Lin now?"
"He's dead!"
Lu Haikong's eyebrows rose. "Killed by the Council?"
"No, he died miserably in the Demon Cavern because someone targeted the Golden-quality Summoned Beast Cub your son gave him."
Lu Haikong was stunned and sighed deeply.
It seemed like fate had taken away one of the children who had grown up under his guidance.
"The problem now is that with Lin Jianying's death, all clues related to the Gateway are cut off. Given the Council's emphasis on the Gateway, they will surely trace it back to that foolish woman."
Zhang Yunyi, knowing this, decided to push things along by stirring up the group of restless people in Jiangnan.
On one hand, she was laying the groundwork for her upcoming actions, and on the other, she wanted to find Lu Haikong and get him to help resolve this issue.
"I understand. I'll take care of this problem."
Lu Haikong was surprisingly agreeable and nodded in agreement.
He took out his smartphone and made a call right there.
Zhang Yunyi, with her sharp eyes, noticed that the contact was labeled 'Old Fox'.
A moment later, the call was answered.
"Lu, what's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to let you know that Lu Wu is my son. Take good care of him."
"As long as you keep your promise, there's no problem with how I take care of him."
"Rest assured, don't you know me, Lu Haikong? I'm a man of my word, and my promises won't change for a million years."
After hanging up, Lu Haikong gestured to Zhang Yunyi, indicating that it was settled.
"So, your real name is Lu Haikong, should my daughter change her surname to Lu? Lu Yuchi is a better name than Zhang Yuchi. In a couple of days, I'll have her meet Lu Wu."
"No!"
Lu Haikong's scalp tingled at the thought.
If Lu Wu found out and then Li Ruyu learned about it, he would have to kneel on a washing board countless times to appease her anger.
So, it was better if Lu Wu never knew.
Besides, Lu Haikong wasn't really a scumbag; he had been forced into those situations in the past.
As Lu Haikong waved his hand, Zhang Yunyi casually asked, "What's your agreement with Li?"
"That's none of your..."
Lu Haikong paused mid-sentence, realizing she was trying to trap him.
And she had successfully extracted the identity of that person.
This made Lu Haikong feel disgusted, so he knocked on the table and said, "Everyone has things they know and don't know. If you don't need to know something and you still go looking for it, that's just being nosy.
If you know something you shouldn't, that's just being annoying.
If you're going to be nosy about things you don't need to know, that's just asking for trouble."
After saying this, Lu Haikong turned and disappeared.
At the same time, the fairy also left in a huff, carrying a basket.
Zhang Yunyi was taken aback, and before she could react, the angry fairy returned and struck her with a sword, sending her flying several dozen meters away.
After this strike, the fairy felt relieved and left again with her basket.
