Chapter 528: The Chinese Chives Seller, Lu Xiaoyu

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were people who became dejected because they had killed people or seen the death of their comrades with their own eyes. They grew weary of ma.s.sacres and fights. The members of the Heavenly Network had many examples of this, even during the magical era.

In these cases, the Heavenly Network mainly made use of psychological counseling. But for severe cases, they would transfer them to logistics jobs. They would not insist on them continuing their jobs.

In reality, forcing this kind of people to the battlefield may bring about the effects of reverse psychology. But Nie Ting and s.h.i.+ Xuejin did not have the heart to do so. Everyone made their own decisions, there was no need to force them to do anything.

But Nie Ting was never concerned that Lu Shu would end up in the same situation, as he knew that it was not easy for him to live till today in this chaotic world. His tenacity was much better than most adults.

Furthermore, he knew that Lu Xiaoyu had gone to the North.

The moment Lu Xiaoyu hung up on the phone with Lu Shu, she knew that something was wrong. Lu Xiaoyu also felt that some things were better off said in real life to Lu Shu, even if it meant traveling a vast distance to meet him.

Lu Xiaoyu had never thought that Lu Shu was so strong that he did not need the consolation of anyone. In reality, Lu Shu also had times when he was weak. For example, when he first started selling hard boiled eggs, he could not sell everything. He ate hard boiled eggs for all three meals. The yolk was so dry that it almost choked him. Lu Shu, who had just left the orphanage, cried as he ate.

The Lu Shu then was just an ordinary boy.

If he had been summoned then under the Heavenly King’s current standards, he would definitely not make the cut.

Lu Shu had always been growing. Only Lu Xiaoyu knew that she had the obligation to appear in front of Lu Shu when he needed her.

It was as if Lu Shu would always be a part of her life.

“Why are you here?” Lu Shu stopped his argument with w.a.n.g Yang. Lu Xiaoyu slowly walked to Lu Shu. “Come, I’ll treat you to hotpot!”

Lu Xiaoyu was not free either. If she was not planting Chinese chives, she was selling them. Her income was not low, and her personal savings were acc.u.mulated through fair means…

When she had just started selling Chinese chives, people laughed at her. When a group of rough old men who were setting up their stores at Wen Wan City saw a young lady, they would definitely ask, “Young lady, have your parents abandoned you?”

What should Lu Xiaoyu say to that? From the start, she was not willing to talk nonsense with these kind of people. They were not superior to her.

The next day, when Lu Xiaoyu brought Little Fury along with her, all these people shut their mouths… they had no choice but to do so. Little Fury would give all of them a good beating.

In the end, when she was invited to the Heavenly Network, Little Fury had disappeared. Xi Fei had received a notification that someone at Wen Wan City had set free magical beasts to commit violence. They could not ignore this situation. Wasn’t the security department supposed to handle these kinds of situations?

The Heavenly Network had also raised their own magical beasts, thus they knew that ordinary people would feel very threatened, even if they were only Cla.s.s F beasts.

Since the Pract.i.tioners’ Public Security Department had been officially formed, many people would choose to directly report to the Heavenly Network if they had encountered any strange incidents. For example, their dog suddenly meowing, their husky suddenly howling like a wolf… they had insisted that this was a premonition that something odd would happen to their husky…

But after Xi Fei and his colleagues came to Wen Wan City and saw Lu Xiaoyu, they were dumbfounded. “Xiaoyu… so the squirrel that attacked people just now… er…”

What the heck!

It was not that Xi Fei did not dare to deal with Lu Xiaoyu. But to them, Lu Shu was now sacrificing his life for the country. He had been a.s.sa.s.sinated by the Collection of G.o.ds. Now, they shared a bitter hatred of the enemy.

No one wanted to trouble Lu Xiaoyu now. Furthermore, no one knew that Lu Xiaoyu was a regular visitor at the Mt Beimang base. Lu Xiaoyu had received the t.i.tle of most welcomed temporary staff.

Xi Fei was curious. “Xiaoyu, what happened?”

Those who had teased Lu Xiaoyu had been badly battered by Little Fury. They thought that someone had finally come to help them vent their anger. But looking at the situation, they were wrong. Their “saviors” knew Lu Xiaoyu!

The old men suddenly had a vague premonition…

Four people had come with Xi Fei. A girl questioned closely, “Xiaoyu, explain the situation to us. If you have been wronged, we will help you fight back!”

The old men who had made the report were dumbfounded. “We were the ones who made the report…”

Lu Xiaoyu said with great injustice, “They said my parents have abandoned me…”

Xi Fei and his colleagues furrowed their eyebrows. But they could not just hear Lu Xiaoyu’s side of the story. He turned his head and asked, “Is she speaking the truth?”

The old men carelessly said, “We were just joking! You cannot go so far as to beat people up for a joke, right?”

Xi Fei coldly said, “Beat them up!”

The entire Luo City Heavenly Network was grieving over Lu Shu’s death, and here there were people making fun of Lu Xiaoyu, the orphan of a national hero? Could they bear with this? Of course not!

After the old men were beat up one by one, Xi Fei adjusted his clothes and collar. “Let’s go. Come with me to receive our punishment.”

The Heavenly Network could not just beat up people like that. They were already mentally prepared to receive punishment.

Even if they were punished, it was worth standing up for Lu Xiaoyu! They were happy even if they had to be locked up in a small, dark room!

Xi Fei smiled and greeted Lu Xiaoyu. “Xiaoyu, we’ll be going back first.”

The old men gasped in shock. They had no tears left to cry, even if they wanted to. Who were these people?!

Lu Xiaoyu obediently said, “Brothers, sisters, goodbye. Thank you for your help.”

Lu Xiaoyu waited for Xi Fei and his colleagues to leave. Her expression suddenly turned cold. She turned to look at the old men and laughed coldly. “Ha ha.”

From that day onwards, the entire Wen Wan City Market knew that someone amazing had come to the city. And she was a rather pretty young girl!

But this also brought her some publicity. At the beginning, some people did not believe that the Chinese chives Lu Xiaoyu were selling were real. But now, they all believed her.

Since the Heavenly Network had appeared to support her, this feeling was as if she was selling Chinese chives at the Heavenly Network herself. Her business there was just too good!

That was why Lu Xiaoyu was now very rich…

Lu Xiaoyu looked Lu Shu up and down. There was fatigue and conflict in Lu Shu’s eyes. But Lu Xiaoyu did not say any consoling words to Lu Shu. Instead, she stretched out her small hand. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to hotpot.”

Lu Shu smiled. “Then we can eat a bit better.”

Lu Xiaoyu’s greatest wish in the past was to wear a comfortable and soft sweater, as well as thick and heavy outerwear. She was now wearing a hat and a m.u.f.fler that she really liked. She walked with Lu Shu on the creaking snowfield. She breathed in happily as she walked to eat hotpot with Lu Shu.

As they walked on the street, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly raised her head and asked, “Why did you get involved?”

Lu Shu was stunned. He said in a soft voice: “They want to make me a Heavenly King.”

“Do you want to?”

“I think…”

“No matter what, I will support you,” Lu Xiaoyu said calmly.

Lu Shu was glad. Lu Xiaoyu’s world was actually very simple.
