Lu Cheng: Looks Like I Took It Too Far

"Brother, am I pretty?"

Zhang Lexuan gazed at Lu Cheng with a dreamy look, a smile blooming on her lips like a deep blue flower. In that instant, the world lost its color, and even Jiang Nannan, the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard, was completely overshadowed.

"Beautiful!" Lu Cheng nodded emphatically.

Her behavior today was very strange. Everything seemed calm on the surface, but he knew that this was because of her self-protective mechanism after the extreme emotional fluctuations, which was temporarily suppressing all the painful and unforgettable memories of the past.

That's why, in Lu Cheng's eyes, she was like a dormant volcano, her emotions teetering on the edge of spiraling out of control.

There's no way around it; it would be hard for anyone to accept.

The other, Erzhuzi, who was emotionally stable, had his clan wiped out and was almost driven insane by his brother's betrayal. He was only pulled back from the brink of depravity by the "bond" of his teammates.

But Zhang Lexuan... could only heal herself.

Her heart had long been shattered into pieces. After all, when she set up this scheme to try and get a higher score in the Simulation Device, she was raising Zhang Lexuan on the same scale as raising a BOSS.

But who would have thought that after successfully raising the BOSS, the Simulation Device would also release the BOSS itself?

Lu Cheng: "..."

He didn't apologize to Zhang Lexuan, because any apology at that moment would have been too cheap.

Outside the courtyard.

Inside a horse-drawn carriage.

"Xiaotao has already told me."

Zhang Lexuan lowered her eyes, her delicate hand gently stroking the jade hairpin, which swayed slightly and made a silvery sound.

On her stunningly beautiful face, the playful tone from before slowly faded, replaced by a forced indifference and hatred, even... an extreme Greed, a gaze that seemed to want to meld Lu Cheng into its very being.

"Brother, I don't hate you. I'm so happy that you came to the Shrek Academy, really happy. Today is the happiest day Lexuan has had in years, but..."

"What if you leave tomorrow?" Zhang Lexuan sat opposite Lu Cheng, her chin resting on her hand, her light blue eyes carrying a hint of danger and coldness.

"Just like before, they casually abandoned me, then acted like a great hero, arranging everything I didn't want for me. What should I do?"

"Brother, now our positions are reversed. I'm no longer that little girl who could be easily fooled."

"How about I destroy your Martial Soul..." Lu Cheng breathed Youyou into your ear, stirring your heartstrings, "Then we'll elope and spend the rest of our lives together on a deserted island. Don't worry, brother, I won't mind if you grow old. After you die, I'll leave with you."

"I will bear you a bunch of children, leave behind our bloodline and offspring, I can do anything for you..." Zhang Lexuan's fair arms wrapped around Lu Cheng's shoulders, her stunningly beautiful face pressed tightly against his, her moist breath filling his neck, making him feel itchy.

Lu Cheng's throat bobbed. "..."

That's it.

This is really a disaster.

The much-anticipated boss-raising segment: I excitedly died right in front of the boss, only to find that the boss had broken through the dimensional barrier and chased after me.

Isn't this a fucking Simulation Device?

Nobody told me it would happen offline!

"Lexuan, I was wrong," Lu Cheng said bitterly.

"There are many things I shouldn't have kept from you. Indeed, you have the right to know. Many things were decided on my own initiative, judging you by my own standards... I repent, I am guilty."

"..."

The scene was somewhat quiet.

Lu Cheng also clearly felt the "big sister" beside him suddenly stiffen and look at him with a resentful gaze.

"Brother, you're still the same as always..."

Zhang Lexuan uttered two words Youyou.

"Treacherous."

Lu Cheng sighed softly.

The atmosphere around them seemed to shift from gloomy to sunny, the dark and cold aura gradually fading away, replaced by Zhang Lexuan's gentle and sweet smile, "In that case, brother, you can't lie to me anymore, okay?"

"If there's a next time..."

She whispered softly in Lu Cheng's ear, her breath sweet as orchids. "I won't give you another chance to explain, brother."

Six months later.

Shrek City.

On the magnificent streets.

Zhang Lexuan parted her red lips slightly, licking a hot grilled sausage, "The taste is good, it's just a pity... it's too small."

"Brother, what do you think?"

The beautiful woman smiled and looked at Lu Cheng beside her.

"I'll work hard at my cultivation..." Lu Cheng said expressionlessly, but a twitch appeared at the corner of his eye.

Over the past six months, Zhang Lexuan has dedicated herself to enhancing his physical body every day, feeding him Whale Rubber, giving him medicinal baths, and personally handling the process. Having already received enhancements from his Soul Bone and physical body, his physical strength is now comparable to that of Soul Saint.

And his strength has completely entered the level 50 Soul King.

"I need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest in the next few days to obtain my fifth Soul Ring," Lu Cheng said thoughtfully.

The main storyline is about to begin.

It's Shrek Academy's enrollment season again. If he wasn't mistaken, Huo Yuhao should be leaving the Duke's Mansion soon. Electrolux, the only hexagonal super mentor in the entire region, is not to be missed. Of course, there's also Tian Meng, the super-sized power bank. Since his Martial Soul has the Blood Pupils, there's no reason not to snatch him away.

As for the chosen one, Huo Gua, I'm sorry, kid, there are some things you can't control. Let me handle them...

"Let Xiaotao go with you. I have some things to investigate." The beauty stretched lazily, her high heels clicking as she looked down at Lu Cheng. She couldn't resist pinching her cheek, her pretty face full of smiles. "Brother, you're so cute when you shrink! I'm feeling so maternal, I wish I could give you a taste..."

"Hmm..." Lu Cheng's pupils contracted, and he quickly changed the subject. "You're going to investigate the massacre of the Zhang Clan back then?"

"Indeed, since in another world, Mu En colluded with Long Xiaoyao, working together like wolves and rats, slaughtering hundreds of my Zhang Clan members, then in this life... it's not impossible." A strong killing intent flashed in Zhang Lexuan's light blue eyes.

My parents were murdered; this is an irreconcilable hatred.

She's not stupid.

In fact, the truth had already surfaced. The evidence she had been collecting in the Sun Moon Empire over the past two years, along with the events in her memory, gradually connected to form the ins and outs of the matter and the truth. However, she still needed something more certain.

As for Mu En...

She will personally take his head!

"Brother, in this life, let me protect you."

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently, and two majestic mountain peaks covered Lu Cheng once again.

"Ugh... I can't breathe," Lu Cheng said helplessly.

"She's gone!" The beauty donned a dark green cloak and a mask, concealing herself completely, and her figure gradually disappeared from sight.

Let's go!

The next instant, another voice rang in my ears.

A tall woman in red stood beside him, her arm draped over Lu Cheng's shoulder, her crimson eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"Seamless transition..." Lu Cheng's lips twitched.

They're so afraid of running away.
