Chapter 90: The Humanoid Summon Beast
Chapter 90: The Humanoid Summon Beast
On the way home from the station, Li Wu seemed to be in a daze, still reeling from his son's 'surprise' announcement.
In the car, he barely spoke, his mind preoccupied as he stared out the window, deep in thought.
He seemed to be muttering to himself, but his voice was too soft for Li Wu to hear. However, the little skeleton beside him had better hearing and caught snippets of his words.
Phrases like, 'I didn't wrong anyone in Jiangnan, right?' 'Nothing should happen, and we shouldn't be discovered.' 'If it comes to that, we'll sever ties with the unfilial son and run away with my wife and Nini.'
The little skeleton couldn't understand most of it, so it continued playing on its phone, ignoring the rest.
But as it played, it caught the attention of Li Wu beside it.
Li Wu glanced at the little skeleton up and down before reaching out to touch its skull.
Startled by the sudden touch, the little skeleton was a bit confused and slightly annoyed.
It didn't like anyone but Li Wu touching it, and it wanted to tell him that someone was touching its skull. But when its fiery eyes met Li Wu's gaze, it suddenly felt that the touch wasn't a big deal. After all, this person seemed to be Li Wu's father.
So, the little skeleton lowered its head and continued playing on its phone.
Li Wu didn't touch it further, only patting its skull once before withdrawing his hand.
Whether it was because he had an epiphany or because of the pat on the skull, Li Wu's mood gradually improved.
Upon arriving home, Li Wu was back to his usual self, leaving Li Wu feeling particularly frustrated and wishing for a chance to teach his son a lesson.
---
Over at Li Ruyu's place, her mood was especially cheerful due to her son and husband's return. She busied herself in the kitchen with Doudou, quickly preparing a feast.
"Oh, right, Dad, here's something for you!"
During the meal, Li Wu suddenly remembered something and took out a bank card, handing it to Li Hai Kong.
"What's this about? Are you giving us money to support the family?"
"No, I borrowed over ten thousand from you last time, right? This is to repay you, and there's fifty thousand in it."
Li Hai Kong was taken aback but soon broke into a smile.
Due to certain circumstances, his spending money at home was limited, so the fifty thousand from Li Wu was a significant surprise.
As soon as he received the card, Li Hai Kong felt a surge of affection for his son.
But before he could even warm the card in his hands, a cough from the side made him freeze, and he quickly passed the card to Li Ruyu.
Sighing, he knew he'd have to eat frugally for the next month or two.
"Wife, you hold onto this money for me."
Li Ruyu took the bank card from Li Hai Kong and turned to Doudou, saying to Li Wu, "I'll keep this money for you, for when you get married!"
Doudou blushed and couldn't speak, burying her face in her food.
Li Wu watched Doudou eat heartily and not only didn't stop her but also kept serving her meat.
Hmm, you need to eat more to lose weight faster!
Lu Hai Kong, standing nearby, watched this scene with a cold smile.
Ugh, what a scumbag!
...
Just as Lu Wu and his family of five were enjoying a harmonious meal, the middle-aged man who had been following them closely also prepared to make his move.
"It's about time to take action. Although the Vocational Center probably hasn't discovered anything, we shouldn't drag this out too long, lest the night brings more complications!"
"Right now, they're all at home. One of them is a Summoner without a Summon Beast, making him useless."
"A three-year-old child and a housewife pose no threat."
"As for the remaining two, they're both Summoners who haven't even entered the door. Taking them down quietly will be a piece of cake!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he summoned his own Summon Beast.
This Summon Beast belonged to the Phantom Class.
It was shrouded in black smoke, and although its strength wasn't clear, it exuded a formidable aura.
"Using a Lord Rank 3 Summon Beast to deal with a group like this is a bit of an overkill."
"In the one six one nine book bar one look wu one correct version, I'll admit that!"
However, being able to die at the hands of a Summon Beast of this caliber, you can at least die without regrets!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and issued commands to his Summon Beast.
"Go in, kill everyone inside, and bring back the body of that Mini Skeleton!"
With that order, the middle-aged man believed the situation was under control. All he needed to do was wait for a few dozen seconds to a minute.
However, things didn't unfold as the middle-aged man had anticipated. He gave the order, but his Summon Beast didn't move.
It stood there like a wooden statue, not budging an inch!
The middle-aged man was initially stunned, then startled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he was certain something had gone wrong.
Just as he realized this, before he could react, a sound of footsteps approached.
The middle-aged man looked up and saw, right in front of them, a person dressed in a white palace gown, holding an Ice Blue Longsword.
"Wh...who are you?"
At first glance, the middle-aged man truly believed this person was human.
But at the same time, his Summon Beast, through their soul connection, conveyed a sense of danger to him, making the middle-aged man realize that the person before him was not human at all, but a Humanoid Summon Beast.
Moreover, it was undoubtedly a Lord or higher-ranked existence.
"How is this poss..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a moonlight shone upon them, and the middle-aged man immediately lost consciousness...
On the other side, Doudou's story continues.
After her visit to Lu Wu's home, her father called her back.
Her father was more concerned about protecting her from Lu Wu than from thieves. Every day at 9 p.m., he would call his daughter home, fearing that his precious daughter would be taken advantage of.
He was being overly cautious, as Lu Wu would never make a move at this time. He was still waiting for Doudou to lose weight.
According to Lu Wu's estimation, Doudou's Bond Skill cooldown should be almost over, and her Energy Accumulation should be sufficient. She should be able to lose weight in a few days.
Thinking about Doudou's weight loss and her Radiant Beauty, Lu Wu couldn't help but smile foolishly.
In his foolish smile, Lu Wu didn't notice that someone was looking at him with a disdainful expression...
