Chapter 290: Dragon Palace Mystic Realm
Chapter 290: Dragon Palace Mystic Realm
Li Wu was a little dazed as he watched the overly familiar guy who had just met him, casually draping an arm over his shoulder.
It wasn't that he didn't recognize the man.
Li Wu had a photographic memory and instantly recognized the guy as the same person who had appeared when they picked up the little goldfish.
He seemed to be from Capital University, named Liu Cheng.
However, before Li Wu could fully comprehend the situation, Liu Cheng pulled him away.
"Let's go, my mentor is looking for you."
"Who is your mentor?"
"Liu Qingyuan!"
Li Wu was taken aback at the mention of this name.
"Can I not go?"
Liu Cheng laughed, "What do you think?"
And that was that.
Having just left Yuan Qingqing, Liu Cheng dragged him off to Capital University, and they were in Li Wu's RV.
As soon as they got in the car, Liu Cheng was amazed by Li Wu's vehicle.
He acted like a sheltered little brother, wandering around inside Li Wu's car, touching everything in sight.
"Damn, little junior brother, your car is amazing!
Unassuming on the outside, luxurious on the inside, and the performance in all aspects is pretty good too. Can you get me one of these?"
"Sure, but you'll need to pay a deposit first."
"How much?"
"For the deposit, just give me 500,000 points, and that's it!
For the subsequent vehicle production, we can modify it according to your requirements. I'll give you a discounted price, and the total cost should be a few million points."
"Sorry for bothering you!"
Indeed, not everyone could casually spend a few million points on a vehicle like Li Wu.
Even Liu Cheng didn't have that kind of financial backing.
As a pure summoner, he couldn't see what was so great about the car either.
Even with a discount, it would still cost a few million, and Old Liu felt like this kid was trying to scam him.
Li Wu didn't explain the situation with the car to him.
Instead of the car, Li Wu was more concerned about the woman he was about to meet.
Li Wu indirectly asked about Liu Qingyuan.
When Li Wu inquired, Liu Cheng casually replied, "Oh, you mean my mentor? The former mentor of your father, my cheap master!"
"Um, I think there's a misunderstanding...
My father is..."
"Don't say anything more, and don't try to explain.
Since your little goldfish led us to you, my teacher knew who you were. That fish was actually taken away from my mentor by your father, my cheap master."
Li Wu's face darkened at this.
He had previously thought that being the son of Li HaiKong was a well-kept secret.
After all, aside from Yan Ruxue, it seemed like no one had come forward to cause him trouble, and his last visit to the capital had been peaceful. But this time, why was everyone suddenly seeking him out?
Would he still be able to go to Capital University?
"Maybe I shouldn't go then..."
"Don't worry, my mentor doesn't plan to do anything to you. She just wants to give you a welcome gift, just like Master Yuan."
"A welcome gift?"
Li Wu was taken aback, about to say that Yuan Qingqing hadn't given him any gift.
At that moment, a sudden, indescribable pain hit him, and Li Wu felt like every pore of his body was being pierced by needles, causing excruciating pain.
In response to this intense pain, Li Wu instinctively wanted to disconnect the Damage Sharing with Hahahuman.
Fortunately, the Indomitable skill activated, and Li Wu managed to recover.
"What is that woman doing? Torturing Hahahuman for fun?"
But after thinking about it, Li Wu didn't think that was the case.
She probably wasn't that bored. Recalling his previous conversation with Yuan Qingqing and the welcome gift Liu Cheng mentioned, Li Wu had a hunch.
Yuan Qingqing was probably preparing to strengthen Hahahuman.
Li Wu was utterly confused.
What was going on? He couldn't understand why she would do something nice for the former master's son.
After some hesitation, Li Wu decided to endure the pain and call Yuan Qingqing, politely asking to bring Hahahuman back.
Li Wu could guess that she might have good intentions.
But he was genuinely concerned that Hahahuman's nutrition wouldn't be able to keep up.
"Come back in three days to pick him up!"
Yuan Qingqing didn't agree to let Li Wu take Hahahuman away, and she hung up after saying this.
After hanging up, Yuan Qingqing's eyes remained fixed on Hahahuman, who was soaking in a special container in front of her.
Based on Hahahuman's reaction, various liquids, each more expensive than the last, were continuously poured into the container.
At the same time, she closely monitored the data on the instruments beside her.
She was doing her best to ensure the experiment proceeded without any mishaps.
...
On the other side, Li Wu, who had been hung up on, was in a dilemma.
He was torn between not going to pick up Hahahuman and wondering if they would let him take Hahahuman if he went. At that moment, Liu Cheng spoke up.
"You might as well let it go and let her do her thing.
They have their reasons for wanting to give you a welcome gift, and it's a kind gesture. If you don't accept it, it might turn into ill will, so you might as well enjoy it.
Oh, and by the way, when you meet my mentor later, she might also give you a gift, so it's best not to refuse."
Li Wu shook his head in disbelief.
He couldn't understand these women's thoughts.
After some hesitation, Li Wu finally turned off the Damage Sharing.
On the one hand, Li Wu's body couldn't handle such a strain.
Although his body was indeed strengthening, and his power was increasing, the nutrition couldn't keep up.
Moreover, even if the nutrition could keep up, Li Wu would still have to disconnect.
The pain had already significantly impacted his daily life.
In the [Damage Sharing] stage, Li Wu immediately felt more relaxed, and he put the matter of Hahahuman out of his mind.
Let them do as they please, as long as they don't kill Hahahuman.
As for the pain? Li Wu guessed that the guy was probably enjoying it.
Not long after Li Wu dropped the [Damage Sharing] skill, they arrived at Capital University.
As the best university in Huazone, Li Wu was curious about it, but unfortunately, he didn't have time for a tour.
Liu Cheng instructed Li Kai to drive straight to Liu Qingyuan's research lab. Upon reaching their destination, Liu Cheng asked Li Wu to send Li Kai and Dudu away.
"I estimate that you'll be staying at Capital University for quite some time, so it's better to let them wait for you at the competition venue first."
Li Wu didn't hesitate and nodded immediately.
In a 619 book bar, there's a version that never fails!
Li Wu asked Li Kai and the others to go to the venue first, and then he entered Liu Qingyuan's research institute alone.
Yes, just him.
Liu Cheng had left before bringing him here.
He planned to hide for a couple of days because he felt that the capital might not be peaceful in the near future, especially for him, a cheap disciple of Lu HaiKong.
Based on his experience, it was best to stay as far away from a battlefield like this as possible.
As for Li Wu, well, he had no choice but to pray for his safety.
As Li Wu entered the research lab, he bumped into Liu Qingyuan face-to-face.
"Little Li Wu, you're finally here! Come, come, let Aunt Liu take a good look at you!
When you came to the capital last time, I wanted to meet you, but since you weren't sure about the situation then, I didn't want to meet you out of the blue.
Now it's fine, we can finally meet."
Compared to Yuan Qingqing, Liu Qingyuan was much more enthusiastic.
She took Li Wu's hand and led him into the reception area of the research lab, where she asked him to sit down so she could examine him closely. After a while, Liu Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction.
"So handsome, truly worthy of being their child."
Li Wu was taken aback by her words.
Because there was something in Liu Qingyuan's words.
"Do you know my mother?"
"Well, I can't say I know her entirely, but I know half of her."
This response might confuse others, but Li Wu instantly understood: "Which half do you know? The body or the soul!"
As soon as Li Wu said this, Liu Qingyuan's lips curved upwards.
"It seems you know much more than I expected!"
Li Wu came back to his senses and vaguely felt that something was amiss. He realized that he might have been tricked into revealing information by this woman, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
But this subtle expression made Liu Qingyuan laugh.
"So quick to react, you're much smarter than your father. He was so foolish that he blurted out everything before realizing he had been tricked."
What a terrifying woman.
Li Wu clearly realized that she had sensed his subtle change in mood.
Just from this one action, she could perceive it.
Li Wu couldn't understand how such a woman had been tricked by his grandfather back then.
At this moment, Liu Qingyuan sighed, "Love is something that can't be explained. Haven't you heard? A woman in love has zero IQ."
"Can you read minds?"
Li Wu was startled.
Liu Qingyuan teased, "Yes, I can. So, you better not have any bad thoughts around Aunt Liu."
Li Wu quickly straightened up, reciting the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces in his mind.
Seeing Li Wu's reaction, Liu Qingyuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Just kidding, I can't read minds. I just deduce your thoughts from your subtle facial expressions."
Li Wu heaved a sigh of relief.
"So tense? It seems you have many secrets that can't be revealed.
I guess you're not like your father, who has probably said those words to at least 30 women."
Li Wu raised his hand in a gesture of loyalty, "No, no, no, I'm not like my father.
I'm the most faithful one in our family. I'll only marry Dudu in this lifetime."
"As far as I know, your father has said those words to at least 30 women."
Li Wu couldn't continue this conversation, so he kept reciting the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyuan stopped teasing him.
"Alright, alright, stop reciting. Is Little Goldfish with you? Call it out and let me see!"
Li Wu was taken aback.
He found the women in the capital to be quite peculiar. The previous one wanted his bird, and now this one wanted to see his Little Goldfish.
Li Wu wasn't very willing.
After all, both his bird and fish were not things to be shown to others lightly.
But in the end, Li Wu compromised and obediently called out Little Goldfish from his heart.
As soon as Little Goldfish appeared, Liu Qingyuan took it and held the slightly dazed Little Goldfish in her hands.
"Not bad, you've taken good care of it. It's nice and plump, enough to make a plate of sashimi."
Li Wu was a bit confused by this assessment. At that moment, Liu Qingyuan took out a token and handed it to Li Wu.
Since Liu Cheng had mentioned that Liu Qingyuan might offer him something, Li Wu was somewhat prepared.
He had even considered refusing, but Liu Qingyuan spoke up.
"This is the token for the Dragon Palace Secret Realm at Capital University. There's a Dragon Gate inside; take it and try leaping through it."
As soon as Liu Qingyuan said this, Li Wu's grip on the token tightened.
