Lu Shu thought about what the girl said. He was almost 90 percent certain that Brother Miao Miao was referring to the mysterious young man who arrived suddenly.
Based on what Lu Shu knew, only the mysterious young man could pass through the forbidden land and the outside world.
However, the little girl was very strange. She seemed very nice to the King Cow but the King Cow was very afraid of her initially.
However, as Lu Shu looked at the King Cow again, he realized that the old cow looked extremely pleasant and no longer had the fear in his eyes.
This made Lu Shu confused as he did not know what was going on.
The King Cow told him to leave no matter what before nightfall. Could the day and the night be a boundary?
Lu Shu turned and looked around. He did not see any signs of life around the big tree.
Moreover, the King Cow had once explained to the girl that both Lu Shu and Coral were humans. Did that imply that the girl was not a human?
A creature could only speak if it was Rank One. Some could speak but some could not. On the other hand, in order to take the form of a human, the creatures had to be at least a master.
Lu Shu had a headache. The remains were really strange, why were there so many monsters of the Master Realm?
Moreover, he felt that if the remains opened, it was only a matter of minutes before it affected the outside world. Even Tang Seng[1] might not be able to make it out alive…
Of course, Lu Shu had not seen the full version of Journey to the West and was making a wild guess…
The King Cow smiled to the girl. “You guys can leave, I can’t.”
“Brother Miao Miao said it’s alright. You will no longer be restrained. This is not something we can decide on, there will be someone who decides on this,” said the little girl. She looked at Lu Shu and Coral. “Sister, you are very pretty, my name is Gu Xiaoqin, what’s your name?”
“I am Lural,” Coral smiled and said, “My Chinese name is Lural.”
With a loud shooting sound, Lu Shu felt as though his heart was penetrated by the Gungnir again. He did not expect Coral to come up with this Chinese name. Moreover, Gu Xiaoqin and King Cow were speaking in Mandarin and it felt less awkward when she introduced herself this way.
However, Lu Shu was wondering why had the girl called Coral “older sister” although she seemed rather old. Lu Shu was waiting for the girl to call him “older brother” but Gu Xiaoqin said to Lu Shu, “What about you, young man, what’s your name?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
Her way of addressing people changed so quickly? Was she being biased?! If she had been more exaggerated, the seniority would have been messed up!
Although Lu Shu wanted to be forever young too, however, he could not take it when a girl called him “young man”, it felt as though he was taken advantage of!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoqin waved her hands and said, “Never mind, your name is not important.”
“Come down.” Lu Shu pointed to Gu Xiaoqin. “Come down, did you hear me? Why isn’t my name important, am I not a human? Why are you looking down on me?!”
The King Cow was speechless.
Coral was speechless.
Gu Xiaoqin was speechless.
“From Gu Xiaoqin’s distress, +666!”
“From the King Cow’s…”
Gu Xiaoqin said calmly, “Leave, she’s coming out.”
Suddenly, the King Cow turned and fled after hearing that sentence. Lu Shu felt that something was wrong. He was an extremely alert person, how would he be taken advantage of? After the King Cow ran, he carried Coral and followed behind.
As Lu Shu ran, he turned and looked behind. He saw the leaves on the gigantic tree fall and was blown towards them like sharp knives. Meanwhile, Gu Xiaoqin’s expression had calmed down and was no longer smiling. She looked as though she had become another person.
Meanwhile, the girl had grown quickly and turned into an extremely beautiful adult.
This was f*cking mind-blowing! No, this was worse than that!
Thank goodness, Lu Shu ran fast enough. After he stepped outside the region of the tree with Coral, the King Cow turned around and looked back. The leaves stopped moving after the boundaries of the tree and grew back onto the tree!
The King Cow said angrily, “Why did you provoke her? I shouldn’t have brought you here!”
“What on earth is happening?” Lu Shu was dumbfounded, “Why did her temper change so quickly?”
“How would I know,” said the King Cow as he began walking with the cows. He said as he walked, “Stop asking me to help you, she’s the only one who can help you.”
“You knew that this will happen, that’s why you warned me to leave before nightfall,” asked Lu Shu, “Was she always like that?”
“No.” The King Cow stopped and thought, “She used to look like what she was in the nighttime and no creatures nearby dared to go near. It was only a while ago that I realized that she had changed back into the little girl and her personality became much more likeable. She was like another person.”
Lu Shu suddenly realized that the name “Gu Xiaoqin” in his records changed to “Gu Qin”.
Moreover, from what the King Cow said, Gu Qin was probably at the top of the food chain in the forbidden land. The other creatures were extremely afraid of her.
“We became friends and I found out about her split personality in the day and at night. Gu Xiaoqin likes to make friends with humans but Gu Qin was as terrifying as before,” sighed the King Cow.
“Why did she become like this?” asked Lu Shu curiously. The forbidden land felt like a world of cultivation, even the creatures were supernatural. Meanwhile, people from the outside world seemed to be protected and all the creatures who were dangerous had been trapped inside the forbidden land.
“She said she wanted to make friends with others but none of the creatures dared to make friends with her,” said the King Cow.
This made Lu Shu stunned. She developed a split personality who was likeable by others because she wanted to make friends and talk to others…
How lonely it must have been.
Suddenly, Coral turned and walked back. Her action was too sudden that Lu Shu was unable to stop her.
“What are you doing?” asked Lu Shu in shock.
Then, he saw Coral walk towards the shadow of the tree and said to Gu Qin, “Hey, let’s be friends. My name is Lural.”
The King Cow saw how Lu Shu’s energy rose as though he would protect Coral with his life if Gu Qin dared to attack her. However, the King Cow did not see the over 10,000 lightning aurablades fly out of the sword prototype in Lu Shu’s Sea of Chi and snowy mountain, spinning like a whirlwind in his Sea of Chi.
Although Lu Shu did not want to create trouble, that did not mean that he was afraid of causing trouble. Afterall, he was a master!
The King Cow made a scorching hot huff and said in disdain, “Tsk tsk, the foul smell of love.”
