Chapter 122 – Hey Friend, Have You Heard of ‘Siscon’? (22)
Because of Lu Buchi’s actions just now, there was still a trace of blood falling from between his fingers, and then it swiftly washed away along the water flow. Due to his body’s condition, the wound healed rapidly.
After the blood had been washed away several times, the wound was almost healed. Lu Buchi looked at his fair and slender fingers, while in his mind, he couldn’t stop recalling Yan Luo’s appearance.
Finally, his hand couldn’t help but move towards his lower body.
The cold water flow didn’t restrain this situation at all; instead, it collided with Lu Buchi’s burning breath, producing more water vapor.
Lu Buchi was panting slightly, cleaning himself up. The strands of hair that were originally lifted to his forehead had now fallen down, covering his expression.
He lightly pursed his lips to wipe away the water droplets on his body. Lu Buchi’s hand, holding the towel, exerted some force until it turned slightly pale.
After a long pause, he let out a light chuckle.
“…So filthy…how can I even touch her…”
His voice was very low, and the specific meaning couldn’t be discerned clearly, but the heaviness and repression in his words almost made his mental strength erupt.
After putting on a set of clothes, Lu Buchi walked out of the bathroom and turned to look at the table. There was a document on the table, slightly swaying in the wind.
It was some information about senior military officials of the Empire. The person on the first page seemed to be quite old, with the title of Imperial Honorary General marked beside the name, Jiang Qiu.
The color in Lu Buchi’s eyes deepened.
Meanwhile, Yan Luo, who had just finished bathing, only heard a system prompt in her ear.
[*Ding*—Lu Buchi’s blackening value +10, Current value (90/100)]
Yan Luo’s hand paused as she was wiping her hair, then she sighed softly, “Looks like we’re back to square one.”
Little Pink looked over the dimension’s information again several times, and kept spinning in the air.
[Wait a minute, logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any major hidden plots in this kind of scenario, so how could the blackening value fluctuate so much?]
“Don’t bother, it’s probably some issue from your end. But, Little Pink, are you sure there are no those weird things in this scenario?”
[Dear Host, you’ve asked me that almost eight hundred times already, and you’ve lived here for ten years, haven’t you felt anything besides occasionally sensing a bit of ominous aura? There’s simply no such things here.]
“If it’s not your fault, then there must be something unusual going on.” Yan Luo flopped onto the bed, tossing and turning.
Little Pink : …(╥╯^╰╥)
“Alright, alright, let’s not dwell on it. What’s the situation? I guess even if we waste time in the Alliance, we won’t figure anything out. It’s even possible for Lu Buchi’s blackening value to raise to 100, so let’s first handle the procedures tomorrow and then head to the Empire early to see what we can discover.”
[Okay, Dear Host. I’ve also reported the situation to the Dimensional Management Bureau, they’re investigating. If there is indeed an anomaly, they said as compensation, even if the task isn’t completed, there won’t be any punishment for this dimension.]
Seeing Yan Luo nod, Little Pink also returned to Yan Luo’s forehead.
After having dinner and reviewing some lessons, and being instructed by her Brother and Dad on many precautions when going to the Empire, it was already late.
Lu Buchi didn’t say much all night, his expression was quite normal, but the gleam in his eyes grew darker and darker, which frightened Yan Luo to her core.
*Shivering*
