Chapter 273: Yan Ruxue
Chapter 273: Yan Ruxue
"Crimson-haired Sister, what's your name?"
"Where did you meet this jerk of a father of mine?"
"How did this jerk deceive your feelings?"
...
Within the Artificial Mystic Realm.
After a day of intense combat, Lu Wu, who had been carried back by the little skeleton princess, was now enjoying the lingering sensation of being beaten. He was also half-heartedly flirting with the Crimson-Haired Maiden, who had been quiet for a while.
When she ignored him, Lu Wu didn't mind and continued talking to himself.
"Do you want to know what my mother is like?"
As soon as Lu Wu mentioned this, the Crimson-Haired Maiden, who had been ignoring him, couldn't sit still anymore.
She had looked through Li Ruyu's information and found that she was just an ordinary woman in terms of appearance, strength, and personality. At least among all the women Lu Haikong had been with, she was the most unremarkable.
If one had to say something special about her, it was that Li Ruyu's records from twenty years ago were nowhere to be found.
But this wasn't surprising; perhaps Lu Wu had hidden them out of fear of retaliation.
So, the Crimson-Haired Maiden was also curious and even more perplexed about where she had fallen short.
However, just as the Crimson-Haired Maiden became curious, Lu Wu suddenly stopped talking.
This made her feel uncomfortable: "Why aren't you talking?"
Hearing the Crimson-Haired Maiden's voice, Lu Wu smirked.
"You're listening, I thought you weren't interested, so I didn't want to talk to myself anymore."
"You can talk!"
"I'm not talking anymore unless you answer my question first.
Crimson-haired Sister, what's your name?"
Lu Wu's words left the Crimson-Haired Maiden silent.
His expression was all too familiar to her, resembling someone she knew, and it made her fingers itch.
"Have I been too nice to you?"
"Go ahead!"
As soon as the Crimson-Haired Maiden said this, Lu Wu became excited: "Whip me as much as you like!"
His enthusiastic expression surprised the Crimson-Haired Maiden and confirmed to the little skeleton beside him that Lu Wu had indeed become like a fool, acting like a simpleton.
However, the little skeleton thought that if Lu Wu acted like a simpleton, it might be easier to please him.
The little skeleton had a bold idea, and with a 'pfft' sound, the tip of the spear gently tapped Lu Wu's body.
"Ah!"
Lu Wu, caught off guard, moaned in pain and pleasure.
Seeing the effectiveness of this move, the little skeleton struck Lu Wu a few more times.
Annoyed, Lu Wu snatched the spear from the little skeleton and started hitting its head.
"Are you stupid? Can't you see I'm talking to the Crimson-Haired Sister? What are you doing here? Go play with your phone."
After pushing the little skeleton aside, Lu Wu returned to chat with the Crimson-Haired Maiden.
Meanwhile, the little skeleton's interruption made the Crimson-Haired Maiden realize that Lu Wu was the kind of pervert who got excited the more he was beaten. This revelation made her feel that she had finally understood where she had gone wrong.
Lu Wu and Lu Haikong shared many similar fetishes.
Perhaps her mistake was being too nice to that jerk and not wanting him to get hurt, which made him lose interest.
Understanding this, the Crimson-Haired Maiden felt that she had found the key to winning Lu Haikong back.
This time, after forcing him out, she would lock him in a small dark room.
With a whip and candles, she was sure she could make him obedient.
"Crimson-Haired Sister, are you there?"
Lu Wu's shouting interrupted the Crimson-Haired Maiden's fantasy.
However, having found a way to deal with Lu Haikong, she was in a good mood and nodded: "What's the matter?"
"Crimson-Haired Sister, what's your name? I can't keep calling you Crimson-Haired Sister, can I?"
The Crimson-Haired Maiden paused for a moment before responding: "Yan Ruxue."
Lu Wu became excited: "Yan Ruxue? That's a beautiful name, it suits you perfectly. You're an absolutely stunning and pure woman."
Lu Wu was generous with his compliments and flattery.
But his words backfired, and Yan Ruxue's cold response turned gentle: "Your father said the same thing!"
This sudden burst of deadly sweetness made Lu Wu shiver, and he quickly leaned towards the little skeleton.
Yan Ruxue's mood was ruined by Lu Wu, and she stopped paying attention to him, withdrawing her consciousness to continue searching for the Mother-Child Tree.
Lu Wu, sensing that she was no longer focused on him, snatched the little skeleton's spear again, which it had just picked up and was using to play a game.
Numb (Lu Wu is no longer the same, the little skeleton must stay strong!)
"You're the big-headed ghost!" Lu Wu slapped the little skeleton and then made it sit in front of him to block his view. Seizing the opportunity while Yan Ruxue wasn't paying attention, he recorded all the information he had just obtained on his phone.
Hmm, although Lu Wu's previous fight was intense, he didn't neglect to gather information. He managed to collect quite a bit of intelligence during the battle.
(The bodies of the Ground Squirrels in the Mystic Realm will naturally decompose within ten minutes after being killed, indicating that the Summoned Beasts here are not real but merely illusions or programs formed by energy bodies.)
(This means that the Artificial Mystic Realm must have a system that covers the entire area except for the Safe Zone, allowing for the summoning of illusions at any time and place.)
(Furthermore, the strength of the Summoned Beasts varies. For the first two hours, their strength is at the Leader Rank 1, and after that, their strength increases, and Leader Rank 2 Summoned Beasts start to appear.)
The exact upper limit is unknown, but it's unlikely to reach the Lord Rank. Yan Ruxue mentioned that jerk Lu only lasted for three days and three nights during his first visit.
If the Ground Squirrels could reach the Lord Rank, they wouldn't have lasted that long.
...)
Lu Wu gathered a substantial amount of intelligence, typing it out with a flurry of keystrokes.
Afterward, he began pondering over the gathered information.
In the 169 book bar version!
"I have some ideas, but the information is still insufficient. I need to collect more."
In the following days, Lu Wu continued his intelligence-gathering efforts in the Artificial Mystic Realm.
As his injuries healed, Lu Wu ventured out, enduring countless battles and returning only when he was exhausted and covered in wounds.
Upon his return, Lu Wu would seek out Yan Ruxue, engaging in various conversations and charming her with his cuteness to obtain food.
Sometimes, Yan Ruxue would respond briefly, while other times, she would ignore him.
However, Lu Wu had discovered a surefire topic that would always capture Yan Ruxue's attention—talking about Li Ruyi.
Whenever they discussed Li Ruyi, Yan Ruxue would be fully engaged, especially when the topic turned to Li Ruyi's punishments for Lu Haikong.
Lu Wu himself became energized when discussing this subject.
He categorized the punishments, starting with the lowest level, which included Keyboard Kneeling and Durian Kneeling.
The next level involved Nail Extraction, and above that were the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty.
Lu Wu shared all the punishments he could think of, not realizing that Yan Ruxue was taking notes, intending to implement them in the future.
Lu Wu was unaware of her intentions; otherwise, he would have shared even more, embracing his inner mischief.
That old man deserved some retribution.
Time passed in this environment, and before Lu Wu knew it, two weeks had gone by since his capture.
During this time, Lu Wu's strength had significantly improved due to the beatings he endured.
When he first entered the Mystic Realm, his strength was only at the Leader Rank 1, but after two weeks, his combat power had reached the Leader Rank 2.
Even the Little Skeleton, who had done nothing, had increased its strength by one star just by watching Lu Wu get beaten up.
This frustrated Lu Wu.
He endured countless beatings to increase his strength by one star, while the Little Skeleton did nothing and still achieved the same?
Lu Wu was so annoyed that he felt like turning the Little Skeleton into a human just to spank it.
Aside from this minor frustration, everything else was going well.
Within two weeks, Lu Wu had gathered almost all the necessary intelligence.
The current Lu Wu already had a plan that could potentially lead to his escape.
However, he hesitated to test it, fearing that he might die in the process.
So, Lu Wu continued to wait for the right opportunity.
But he wasn't entirely sure if such an opportunity would present itself.
The day before, Yan Ruxue had told him that she found clues to the Mother-Child Tree, and if all went well, she would locate it within the next two days.
In other words, if Lu Wu didn't find a way out within these two days, he would most likely meet his demise.
Lu Wu felt helpless, and what made it worse was that, in over half a month, he hadn't heard a single word from his old man, as if his father had abandoned him.
It left Lu Wu feeling hopeless.
Just as Lu Wu was about to lose faith in his ability to escape, he suddenly felt the entire Artificial Mystic Realm trembling.
Lu Wu narrowed his eyes, sensing that the opportunity he had been waiting for might have finally arrived.
