Mind Palace, Ding Yumián's Discovery / Coming Clean: I Want Them All!

Lu Jun mounted his horse, bid farewell with a flourish, and rode off into the distance.

Tang Yue stood silently, watching Lu Jun's figure disappear into the distance before turning into a shadow and vanishing as well.

On the other side, Lu Jun, with his Night Thunder Dream Beast, quickly ran back to Magic City. Arriving in front of the Jinyuan Apartment, he stroked his chin. At this speed, he could run back and forth whenever he had time, but he was afraid of being discovered by his sister.

Night Thunder Dream Beast: You said you were coming to the human world to train, but you've just used me as an errand boy.

Right now, Lu Jun is hesitant and too guilty to go in. After all, in terms of deep feelings, Lu Mei far surpasses Tang Yue. Who would have thought that the latter would act so decisively and give him a taste of sweetness, making him reluctant to leave?

He never expected that his biggest gain from this trip to Hangzhou wouldn't be the friendship with Xuan She, but rather Tang Yue.

Lu Jun prepared himself mentally and entered the apartment.

Mu Nujiao gracefully, sipping tea, while Ai Tutu chattered away, gossiping about things at the academy.

The two glanced at Lu Jun and exclaimed in surprise, "You're back!"

"Holy crap, Lu Ren Tu."

Ai Tutu's eyes lit up, and she said admiringly, "I heard about what happened in Hangzhou. You actually killed Super Rank councilor, which is way better than my brother. You probably don't know this, do you? If you pass the selection, your position National Mansion Captain is a sure thing."

"By the way, could you tell me about what happened at the time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun was surprised, but quickly calmed down. Everything was just a natural progression. With two votes from Zhu Meng and one vote for the chairmanship of the Pearl Academy, he would skip the nomination battle and directly enter the National Team.

Furthermore, the captain position favored by the higher-ups does not require going through a series of selection and testing processes to obtain a main player position.

"It's alright." Lu Jun brushed off Ai Tutu's gossip, feeling a headache coming on from the girl's excessive chatter.

Da da da!

Just then, Lu Mei, the older sister upstairs, heard the noise and came down. Seeing her younger brother return, she smiled brightly, went up to him, and gave him a hug. "Welcome home."

Ai Tutu and the other person wisely chose not to disturb them.

For the first time, Lu Jun felt uncomfortable in her sister's embrace, and her behavior became unnatural.

Lu Mei asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

She didn't notice anything unusual. Well, there's no outward change in whether a man is a virgin or not, but the woman's complexion changed noticeably.

"N-nothing... I need to go back to the Pearl Academy; I have important business to attend to."

Lu Jun felt a strong sense of immorality, regretting that he didn't have Mo Fan's thick skin and dared to flirt with other women in front of his lover.

"Is that so?" Lu Mei snorted slightly, a hint of displeasure in her voice. "Then go ahead."

"Hehehe," Lu Jun realized, then chuckled sheepishly, "I'll stay with you for a few days and we'll see."

Hmm~ Sister nodded in satisfaction.

Chapter 203 The Mind Palace, Ding Yumian's Awareness

Lu Jun was living a comfortable life at home, and she and her sister gradually returned to their familiar habits.

He often tried to chat with Tang Yue on his phone, but the Adjudication Court was busy, so they could only chat for a short while every few days.

There was no other way; even Lu Jun didn't have much time for romance and quickly focused on improving his strength.

If he remembered correctly, the Heavenly Tribulation Fire of Dunhuang [Northern Corner of the Scorching Plains] would be in a week or two, at which time a large number of Fire Element materials would emerge, and the Ghost Wife and Jiang Feng, the Flame Witch who ruled the Northern Corner of the Scorching Plains, would begin their entanglement.

The materials for his Curse Element 'Tiger Ghost' ended up in the Ghost Wife's possession. In addition, his sister's Fire Element Spirit Seed and even Soul Seed were also found with a chance after the baptism of the heavenly tribulation.

Of course, Lu Jun wanted to try to save Jiang Feng and see if he could trick this Flame Witch into becoming his sister's bodyguard.

After all, Little Flame Princess is not as good as a fully developed older sister. The former requires a lot of resources to support her, while the latter, as an alternate form of elemental vengeful spirit, is already a super existence at the [Sub-Lord] level when she matures.

If he were to marry Lu Mei, his combat power would skyrocket to that of a true monarch. Once his sister's Fire Element Super Rank, defeating Mid-level Monarch would be no problem. In short, there's no shortage of room for improvement in the Fire Element.

Moreover, Little Flame Princess is not suitable for Lu Jun. Although he has Summoning System, he doesn't have any Fire Element at all.

Lu Mei is even less of a threat; she doesn't have Summoning System. Only a monarch like Jiang Feng, who has mastered spatial abilities, can create a space to stay by her sister's side.

In short, Dunhuang is a must-visit place for Lu Jun, killing three birds with one stone.

Before this, he wasn't confident in dealing with the Ghost Wife, a powerful opponent with a high price tag, and needed to further improve his Mind Element.

"Mind Palace"

Lu Jun muttered to himself, his Mental Power at the intermediate level was barely enough to do it, it was time to find an external cheat to upgrade him.

A moment later, he summoned his long-lost professional driver, "Qing Yu," to take him to Mingzhu.

In the car, Lu Jun's thoughts probed into the White Tiger Pendant, drawing in forty-two transparent Nebula from the Blood Lake that had entered the Spiritual World, leaving eight remaining.

Buzz buzz buzz!

His Mental Power surged, and the forty-nine stars in his Mind Element rapidly expanded, reaching the level of the fourth Intermediate Level.

[Mind Ripple: Mind Invisibility]!

Lu Jun was extremely surprised when he learned of this ability, as it was the very concealment ability that he lacked.

Moreover, it's quite buggy; it can create a layer of spiritual light to protect itself. As long as it's not physically touched or makes too much noise, any action it takes will be ignored.

In theory, his spiritual realm is high enough that he can dance under the Emperor's nose. If the Emperor were to fall into a deep sleep, he could come and go freely even in forbidden areas, and find an opportunity to dance at the Pharaoh Pyramid.

He upgraded his Mind Element with the intention of increasing his magical energy to enough to construct the [Mind Palace] technique, but he never expected to gain anything unexpected.

Qing Yu parked the car on campus and said casually, "We're here. By the way, in another week, it'll be the Contention for the Chief of the Academies. Do you have any ideas?"

Lu Jun's level had long surpassed that of the academy, and he casually remarked, "Let them all come at me at once. Pick a day, don't waste my time."

As he got out of the car, he saw a woman in a white dress standing gently and virtuously in the distance, tilting her head and waving.

Seeing this, Lu Jun felt a bit of a headache. He thought of Tang Yue's appearance and body again. His sister was an easy hurdle to overcome, but Ding Yumian, who Mind Calamity, was an extremely difficult one.

What kind of bad luck led him to face interrogation by two women in a short period of time?

"Long time no see." Lu Jun scratched his head and approached, saying, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"It's alright," Ding Yumian said softly. "You were able to turn the tide in the face of such a natural disaster in Hangzhou. I have some faith that you can succeed."

The two walked and talked, and the pedestrians and students they encountered along the way did not dare to disturb them, for they were the top students of the Water Institute and Fire Institute, after all.

They went to the back hill of the academy, where they usually stayed, and sat down cross-legged facing each other.

After listening to the girl beside him speak softly and gently, Lu Jun gradually calmed down.

"Then let's begin."

Ding Yumian spoke softly, quickly controlling the stars, and one Star Chart after another appeared, echoing each other to form a vast transparent constellation, with countless stars twinkling and intertwining into countless tracks.

She coldly uttered. "Soul Control!"

Buzz buzz buzz!

In an instant, Lu Jun felt a vast Mental Power enveloping a certain consciousness and descending upon his body. His body instantly lost control, and his self-awareness was pushed aside.

However, he was very relaxed; he had tried it many times before and was extremely skilled.

Ding Yumian was not shy either, and began to mobilize Lu Jun's still considerable Mental Power and Mind Element magic power.

"Intermediate Level 4?"

She was quite surprised; it was equivalent to half of High-level Magic. With this magical power, constructing Mind Palace would be much easier.

Then, Ding Yumian used transparent magic energy as ink and Mental Power as a brush to gradually depict a magnificent palace in Lu Jun's Spiritual World.

The Mind Palace is crystal clear with sharp edges and corners. Its interior is divided by layers of Mind Wall, creating a labyrinthine and ever-changing maze.

After an unknown amount of time, Ding Yumian's weary consciousness withdrew from the Spiritual World, and a lazy voice reached her ears. "That's enough."

Lu Jun opened his eyes, his consciousness quickly filling the void and taking control of his body again.

Suddenly, he sensed something different; the power of his Mind Element surged, and his mind became as stable as a mountain.

If Lu Jun had a single thought, he Mind Control project the 'Mind Palace' into reality and control thousands of people in One Thought Star Chart. This would already be the prototype of the [Mind Domain], and an extremely powerful one at that.

He smiled; to have the rudimentary form of a domain at the Intermediate Level of the Mind Realm was almost equivalent to Mu Ningxue's Intermediate Level strength.

Once he advances to a higher level, Lu Jun will likely master it simultaneously, at which point he will have another Magic System that he can command.

The hallmark of a high-level powerhouse is a domain. Compared to Elemental Magic, which can be mastered using Soul Seed, special Dimensional Magic, Dark Magic, and White Magic are not so easy to obtain.

Even Lu Jun's Curse Element, which has incorporated such a top-grade Curse Substance as the Blood Abyss Curse Mark, is still a long way from reaching the realm level.

Conversely, once a domain is involved, the effect will exceed that of ordinary elemental domains.

He observed a phantom palace in his mind, far smaller than Ding Yumian's, and without a double reflection structure, but sooner or later it would become unsolvable as he grew.

In the original story, the Holy Bear Mercenary Group of Northern Europe had a Super Rank Mind Mage could construct an entire city with a single thought and control Mo Fan, who was then on the verge of using a forbidden spell, for quite some time.

Lu Jun was confident that he would reach that level sooner or later.

"Thank you for your help." Lu Jun opened his eyes, looked at Ding Yumian in front of him, and said gratefully.

"It's alright." Ding Yumian smiled, but her expression turned cold as she said, "I do have a question for you: which woman is it?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun stiffened, his eyes darting around as he asked, "What woman?"

Ding Yumian's Main Soul, having exhausted itself in helping him construct his Mind Palace, had fallen into a deep sleep. Now, an unknown secondary soul emerged, aggressively demanding, "Who did you have relations with?!"

Lu Jun broke out in a cold sweat and exclaimed in shock, "Damn it, we've been exposed!"

It had only been a few seconds, but it felt like a year had passed. His mind raced, trying to find an excuse, but he was dejected and found himself speechless.

Left with no other choice, Lu Jun decided to tell the truth, "It's... Sister Tang Yue."

After saying that, he looked at Ding Yumian's reaction with a nervous expression.

Chapter 204 Honesty, I want it all!

The hill behind the university.

Upon hearing Tang Yue's name, Ding Yumian frowned. She knew this woman was supposedly Lu Jun's god-sister, but she had never met her before.

Just now, while controlling Lu Jun's body, the Main Soul firmly guarded the bottom line and did not presumptuously check the memories.

However, the Main Soul too familiar with Lu Jun's body, and immediately noticed the subtle changes in his lower body. She was extremely suspicious and could not stand it any longer, so she had to jump out and question him.

"Hehe, I thought Sister Lu Mei would get her way first, but I didn't expect her to be such a 'shady' woman."

Ding Yumian revealed a devilish smile, her entire body surging with Dark Aura, and said with a smug look, "Does Sister Lu Mei know about this?!"

This mischievous personality is undeniable; he possesses Shadow Element Soul, making him the most troublesome opponent.

Lu Jun cried out inwardly, his heart clenching even more. He was already heartbroken that Ding Yumian knew, but if his sister found out too... tsk tsk tsk.

He shuddered at the mere thought of the scene; he would definitely be cut into three pieces!!

Lu Jun felt guilty. Lu Mei had been so good to him, and they had a deep bond, having relied on each other since childhood. Yet, he had turned his back on her and entered into her life.

Sigh, but then again, which virgin could resist the intense advances of a beautiful older woman he likes?

Given the current crisis, a poor answer could lead to a painful choice among the three options.

Moreover, after careful consideration, he realized that keeping it from his sister all along wasn't a good idea. The longer he deceived her, the bigger the rift would become, and when it finally came to a head, it would tear their relationship to shreds.

It's better to be honest now, and judging from Tang Yue's attitude, she doesn't seem to mind Lu Mei sharing.

Instantly, Lu Jun's 'dead silence' was rekindled. He asked himself, could he accept losing either Tang Yue or Lu Mei?

No! He berated himself, his hesitation lacking the ruthless decisiveness he usually displayed when dealing with enemies. What kind of man am I? I want it all!

Lu Jun seemed to have unlocked his full potential, and decided to step up his courage and create a perfect ending.

As for Ding Yumian, he raised an eyebrow, exuding an imposing aura, and took the initiative, stepping forward and saying, "Then you can talk to Sister Lu Mei."

Ding Yumian felt the tall, aloof Lu Jun press close to her, his shadow looming over her. She instinctively took a step back, at a loss, her arrogance vanishing as she stared in disbelief. Was this man truly fearless?

No, is it really that shameless, brazen, and despicable?

This was far from what she had envisioned. She had originally intended to seize this opportunity to manipulate Lu Jun and secure happiness for her gentle and troublesome Main Soul.

Although we lost the first prize, we've got the person, so that's all that matters. Forced relationships are never sweet, but they do quench thirst.

After a long pause, Ding Yumian, the Shadow Soul, snapped out of her daze, gritted her teeth, and glared at Lu Jun, saying, "Putting Lu Mei aside, what about me? You've been communicating with Ding Yumian through your soul and your minds are in sync. What? You don't want to take responsibility?"

Then she heard Lu Jun's sincere words. "I know this is going too far, but my sister, Sister Tang Yue, and the others have helped me a lot and are willing to love me."
