Chapter 169 What's that furry thing?
Five minutes ago.
Inside the observation carriage of the Starry Sky Train.
Himeko, who was explaining the local customs and culture of Lop Nur to March 7 and Hoshino, and Walter, who was sitting to the side with his eyes closed, opened their eyes at almost the same time.
The two looked at each other and saw extreme shock in each other's eyes.
"This energy...!" Himeko suddenly stood up.
Although it only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
but……
"Such immense destructive energy..." Walter pushed up his glasses, frowning slightly as if remembering something. "Could it be Lu Li...?"
But didn't he already tell Lu Li not to... before figuring out the origin of that knife?
Could something have happened that forced Lu Li to break the seal on the knife?
Walter looked at Himeko, who nodded solemnly.
Clearly, the two of them were thinking the same thing.
March 7th and Xing were taken aback by the two's sudden reaction.
"Destructive energy? What destructive energy?" March 7th looked completely bewildered.
Xing also looked puzzled.
"Let's go! Let's check out Lu Li's room!"
Ji Zi acted decisively and rushed towards Lu Li's room first.
Walter followed closely behind, carrying his cane.
Seeing this, on March 7th, Xing went to call Danheng, who had already returned to his room, and then quickly followed the two of them.
……
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
A series of urgent and forceful knocks on the door pulled Lu Li back from his shock.
"Lu Li! Open the door!"
"Are you alright? What was that destructive energy just now?!"
Upon hearing Himeko's voice, Lu Li snapped back to reality.
energy?
What kind of energy...etc.
Could it be from when I used my Word of Power to unseal Xianyu's form just now?!
She glanced at Bai Heng, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and listened to the increasingly urgent knocking on the door.
Lu Li: "..."
It's over.
This seems like things have gone too far.
"Lu Li! Has something happened?"
"I'll count to three, and if you don't open the door, we're barging in!"
"Three, two..."
Walter's calm but clearly urgent voice came from outside the door.
Upon hearing this...
Lu Li's mind went blank for a moment, and he instantly went into a state of high alert.
They barged in?
That would be terrible!
His current situation.
A man and a woman were alone in a room, with the woman lying unconscious on the bed.
If he gets caught red-handed, he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries!
"Hide her! We must hide her!"
But the question remains: where exactly is it hidden?
Himeko and the others might barge in at any time.
The original plan was to hide it in the cabinet... let's not even talk about whether it will be in time.
Because of the energy from when Xianyu's form was unsealed, Himeko and the others will definitely ask about Xianyu.
But the key thing is... Xianyu is gone!
Yes, the cold and aloof Xianyu has transformed into a warm and gentle fox girl...
No, no, this is not the time for jokes.
In short.
Since I can't produce Xianyu, they might have to search me.
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance.
But if it really happens, and then they find the wardrobe.
Then they found one inside...
Lu Li: "..."
That being the case.
That means only—!
The thought process takes less than a second.
Lu Li turned off the lights at top speed and pounced on the bed, wrapping one arm around Bai Heng while pulling the blanket over them both.
next moment.
Bang-!
The door to the room was kicked open suddenly.
Lu Li's heart tightened as he lay on the bed, but he still pretended to have just woken up, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Himeko and the other two at the door with a puzzled expression.
"Sister Himeko, and... Uncle Yang?"
"What's wrong? I just fell asleep..."
Outside the door, Xing also arrived with Dan Heng, who was holding the Cloud-Striking Sword.
The entire train crew was present.
Himeko and Welt were the first to enter the room, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Li was alright.
However, after scanning the room and finding nothing they were looking for, they all turned to look at Lu Li.
"You're asking me what's wrong?" Himeko said irritably. "Can you explain what that terrifying, destructive energy that flashed by just now was all about?"
"And what about your Xianyu?"
"Huh? Energy? What energy?" Lu Li asked, puzzled. "I can't get any."
"I was sleeping soundly just now."
"As for Xianyu... she's definitely in the armory."
"I can't exactly sleep with a knife in my hand, can I?"
Everyone: "..."
Walter didn't say anything, but simply pushed up his glasses and looked Lu Li up and down.
Those deep eyes seemed to see through everything.
Lu Li swallowed hard.
Walter and Himeko exchanged a glance.
I understood what Walter was trying to convey.
Himeko sighed, then gave Lu Li a disapproving look: "Anyway, it's good that you're alright."
"We won't ask what happened."
"But you probably already know, even without us telling you, that Xianyu's power is terrifying."
"Until Mr. Walter finds out where that knife came from, you'd better not use its power again."
Seeing that Ji Zi and the others had already guessed that he had unsealed Xian Yu, but did not choose to pursue the matter.
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded, saying, "Definitely, definitely."
"I listen to you and Uncle Yang the most."
Himeko: "..."
Walter: "..."
If you had listened to us, we wouldn't be here.
Seemingly noticing the speechless looks from Himeko and the other person.
Lu Li chuckled awkwardly, "Since there's nothing else, and it's so late, everyone should go and get some rest."
Himeko shook her head helplessly, then turned to look at the three people behind her, including Mitsuki Shichi. "Alright, it was a false alarm."
"Just like Lu Li said, it's getting late, everyone should go back and rest."
Dan Heng nodded, while San Yueqi and Xing Ze looked at each other in bewilderment.
So what exactly happened?
However, since Himeko has already said that...
Although still somewhat confused, March 7 and Xing turned around and walked out the door with Dan Heng.
They saw the five people preparing to leave.
Lu Li nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, everyone drive carefully and get some rest when you get back."
"After all, there might be a fierce battle to fight in Luofu—?!"
Lu Li suddenly made a strange sound, causing Ji Zi and the other four to turn around instinctively.
Himeko looked at Lu Li with some confusion: "Lu Li, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing..."
Lu Li chuckled awkwardly, "Well, it's just that my leg suddenly cramped up..."
No, what's that hairy thing on my arm?
Before he could finish speaking, something furry and slightly warm under the blanket suddenly moved on his arm.
Lu Li, who was already in a state of high tension, almost screamed out.
Seemingly realizing something, Lu Li fell silent.
Hahaha.
Could it be that the piggy bank ran into his bed without his knowledge?
What a mischievous piggy bank...
Lu Li secretly lifted the blanket and took a peek.
Then Lu Li saw it.
In the darkness beneath the blanket, a pair of eyes emitting a ghostly light were staring intently at him.
Eyes facing each other.
The atmosphere instantly fell silent.
Lu Li: "..."
Lu Li silently pulled the covers up and looked at the familiar ceiling.
Yes, that's true.
Running away is useless.
Lu Li: "..."
—Holy crap?!
How come this lady is really awake?!
