Chapter 279: Moon Shadow
Chapter 279: Moon Shadow
Inside Lu HaiKong's villa.
The day after Li Wu's return.
While Li Ruyu was cooking, she glanced at Lu HaiKong and then slipped into the kitchen to help her.
As he assisted, he also took the opportunity to report.
"Mom, I want to tell you that it wasn't that I didn't want to come back these past six months. It was my dad who didn't let me return. He thought I'd be a nuisance, you know."
"He said that if I dared to come back, he'd break my legs."
"Also, I actually brought you even more things.
There are two suitcases and several bags. I asked my dad to carry them, but he found it troublesome and just threw them away, saying that having these was enough to deceive you."
"And also, he asked me yesterday when I was going back..."
........
As soon as Li Ruyu heard this, her expression changed.
She grabbed a spoon and rushed out.
Twisting the ear of Lu HaiKong, who was holding his sister and watching TV, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Honey, what are you doing? I haven't done anything wrong recently, have I?"
"You come here!"
...
After more than ten minutes.
Li Wu sneaked out of the kitchen, wandered into the study, and saw an old man who had just been beaten up, laughing so hard that his eyes narrowed.
The resentment that had been building up inside him since Yan Ruxue finally dissipated.
"Is it fun?"
Lu HaiKong, feeling heartbroken: "How could I have raised such a rebellious son? I've been working hard for you for ten years, and this is how you repay me?
Just pack up and leave early!"
Li Wu narrowed his eyes: "Mom, my dad said I'm a rebellious son, and he wants me to leave early..."
"Shut up!"
Lu HaiKong was scared stiff and quickly covered Li Wu's mouth, but it was too late.
He had already heard Li Ruyu's hurried footsteps approaching.
So, the old man who had just been beaten up was now being scolded again while his ear was twisted.
"Son told me that he's not busy anymore and can stay with me every day. He even plans to call Dudu over.
You're not allowed to chase him away again. If you do, I'll chase you away!"
"By the way, when is Dudu coming over?"
"I called him, and he should be here soon. I'll go with my dad to pick him up; it should take an hour or two."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruyu immediately became delighted: "Then go and bring Dudu back quickly. I'll prepare over ten dishes and cook two pots of rice!"
After Li Ruyu finished speaking, she turned around and got busy.
Li Wu then turned to Lu HaiKong: "Let's go and pick him up.
While we're at it, help me get some research materials and equipment. Maybe we can find a construction team; I plan to set up a cultivation chamber."
Lu HaiKong's face darkened at this.
"So you really plan to stay here for a long time?"
Li Wu nodded: "Yeah, it's safe here, and my mom is here too.
We'll bring Dudu over, and then I'll stay here.
Anyway, I now have a company that can make money for me, providing a steady stream of resources. I'll just scrounge here until I become invincible.
That way, I won't have to worry about being suddenly kidnapped by someone like Yan Ruxue and imprisoned for ten or half a month every few days."
"Who becomes invincible by scrounging?"
"Me! I'm a demonic-level cultivation genius. Give me time, and I'll show you what invincibility looks like!
I'm not going out there again!"
"No way!"
Lu HaiKong was very firm on this matter: "You must go out; you can't stay here.
Unless you're willing to cut off all outside connections, I will never allow you to stay.
You'll expose this place and bring them here."
"There are quite a few extreme ones among them. What if they hurt your mom?
You should just leave!"
Li Wu's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Old man, what you mean is, you enjoy your freedom while I take the risks for you, right?
I won't leave, not even if you beat me to death!"
Li Wu genuinely didn't want to experience that kind of ordeal again.
It was a beautiful day, and he was minding his own business when someone suddenly descended from the sky and kidnapped him, imprisoning him for over half a month. How could Li Wu endure this?
Lu HaiKong, seeing Li Wu's reaction, had no choice but to show his hand to Li Wu again.
He first told Li Ruyu that he was going out, then took Li Wu away from the farm and appeared in a secluded place.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
Li Wu looked around, feeling a bit anxious as the area seemed remote.
Lu HaiKong raised the corners of his mouth: "I'll show you a big treasure!"
This made Li Wu even more nervous, but soon, he suddenly calmed down.
Because just as Lu HaiKong said he would show Li Wu a big treasure, a sister, female, dressed in a white palace dress with a veil and an ethereal aura, suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of Li Wu.
In that instant, Li Wu was stunned.
Partly due to the sister's beauty and elegance and partly because of her attributes.
……
Name: ??? (Moon Shadow)
Strength: ???
Quality: ???
Attribute: Lunar, ???
Description: Hmm, before you is a human-shaped summoned beast capable of charging.
Oh, and she seems very familiar with your body, probably because she spent some time inside you and just emerged from it.
……
Upon seeing the girl's attribute, Li Wu suddenly recalled Yan Ruxue's words.
She had said that his old man was so deranged that he wouldn't even spare summoned beasts. At the time, Li Wu didn't take it to heart, thinking that no matter how insane the old man was, he wouldn't go that far. But now, he realized that the old man might actually be that crazy.
Lu HaiKong saw his son standing there in a daze, looking like he had never seen the world before.
With a smirk, he was just about to enjoy the show of Li Wu making a fool of himself.
In a 6-9-1-bar-1-look-1-wrong version!
Lu HaiKong thought that Li Wu probably couldn't tell that Moon Shadow was his summoned beast, and he would certainly mistake her for Lu HaiKong's mistress. Then, Lu HaiKong could slap this rebellious son of his.
However, to Lu HaiKong's surprise, Li Wu immediately grabbed his hand, looking extremely excited, and asked, "How did she transform like this?
Can you transform my little skeleton like this too?"
Lu HaiKong was a bit confused.
"You can tell?"
"What's so difficult about that? I even know where she came from.
Old man, I wrongly accused you. You even arranged a bodyguard for me."
"You can tell that too? You must be cheating!"
Lu HaiKong was a little taken aback.
But he didn't dwell on this, and instead, started discussing serious matters with Li Wu.
"Since I've arranged a bodyguard for you, you should leave soon.
You can come over for meals occasionally, but I really can't stand having you stay here for long."
Indeed, after just a day or two, Old Lu had already knelt once, been beaten once, and received a scolding once. If Li Wu continued to stay, Lu HaiKong couldn't imagine how he would survive the days ahead.
However, the most important concern was safety.
If Li Wu wanted to grow, he would undoubtedly need resources and connections from the outside world.
He couldn't simply erase the traces like Lu HaiKong did, as it might expose Lu HaiKong's secret garden.
If a bloody battlefield were to unfold, Lu HaiKong wouldn't know how he would end up.
Therefore, under no circumstances would he allow Li Wu to stay here.
On Li Wu's side, he was mainly concerned about the safety of Dudu and himself. Now that he had discovered such a bodyguard within his body, he felt that whether he stayed or left didn't matter much.
As a result, the father and son happily reached an agreement.
Li Wu would bring Dudu over for a meal and stay for a day, and then they would return to Jiangnan University.
With the agreement settled, both father and son were delighted.
Lu HaiKong took Li Wu back to Jiangnan University and found Dudu, secretly bringing her back to the estate without anyone noticing.
Even Dudu wasn't aware of what was happening, and she found herself outside the farm.
However, Dudu was easily comforted, and despite not understanding the situation, seeing Li Wu by her side, she put all her worries aside.
"Li Wu!"
She exclaimed in surprise, then threw the pig she was holding in her arms and leaped into Li Wu's embrace.
Poor TuanTuan, who was still sleeping, was tossed into the pond.
As it hit the water, the pig woke up, confused. Why was TuanTuan in the water? Where's Dudu? How could she have left her little cutie behind? Turning around, she saw Dudu on the shore, hugging Li Wu. The pig instantly understood.
Li Wu had returned, and the little skeleton must have come back too. The pig missed the little skeleton.
Just as the pig was thinking about the little skeleton, there was movement on the lake's surface. TuanTuan turned and saw the little skeleton swimming towards her.
Upon witnessing this, TuanTuan, filled with excitement, swam towards her partner, whom she hadn't seen for over half a month.
In a moment, the pig and the little skeleton met.
TuanTuan's face was full of excitement, and the little skeleton's pupil flame flickered with joy. It happily reached out and blocked TuanTuan's nostrils, pushing it back into the water. It seemed to want to play and splash with TuanTuan.
But because of this action, TuanTuan's excitement and joy instantly turned into anger.
Who did they think they were playing with?
Was this the time for play?
The little skeleton's carelessness ruined the pig's gentle mood.
And so, the pig and the little skeleton started fighting in the water.
It was only after Li Wu finished talking to Dudu that he called the two little ones out of the water.
After a scolding, Li Wu held Dudu's hand, and the little skeleton carried TuanTuan, and they entered the estate like a happy family of four returning home.
This scene brought great joy to Li Ruyu.
However, when she saw Dudu, she couldn't help but frown.
"Look how skinny this child has become. She's not even 160 pounds anymore. No way, I must add more cow heads today!"
