Chapter 1120: The Three Rules
The three-people trip had turned into a four-people trip. Lu Shu was in despair.
He was already annoyed at having Wen Zaifou around. Now, he had to deal with Yu Fuyao as well.
To be honest, Lu Shu was slightly worried about his safety. He could not provoke these two people.
Most importantly, they did not save their money. They spent more quickly than thieves.
After Sakurai Yaeko broke free from the control of the Conservatives and controlled the Collection of G.o.ds, she should have been more mature. But to Lu Shu’s shock, the current Sakurai Yaeko was even more innocent and naive.
The reverse growth in her mental age was probably because she had put down many responsibilities.
People matured because they had to bear many responsibilities. They experienced humor that no one applauded. The loyalty that caused them to suffer. The trust that they were betrayed. The love that would never be reciprocated. They were forced to mature and turn all of these into the power to protect themselves.
If one could be free of worry like a child, who would be willing to mature?
But Lu Shu felt that Sakurai Yaeko’s innocence was frightening. As long as Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao said that they wanted to buy something, she would buy it for them…
As per the request of Yu Fuyao and Wen Zaifou, Lu Shu and Sakurai Yaeko brought them to the sea. According to their Three Rules, they would simply travel. They were not allowed to injure ordinary people. They were not allowed to spend extravagantly. They had to control themselves and save money…
The rules had been brought up casually , but Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao agreed.
Wen Zaifou disappeared in the sea. Yu Fuyao stood by the sea, thinking about something. Then, she followed Wen Zaifou into the sea.
Lu Shu was puzzled. There were seas in the Luniverse as well. Why did Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao want to come to the sea? This did not seem to make sense.
If they had lived inland for a long time, it would make sense if they wanted to see the sea. But they were Lords of Heaven from the Luniverse. Why did they request to see the sea? Were there secrets at the bottom of the ocean?
Lu Shu wanted to go down and take a look, but he felt that he could not interfere with the Lords of Heaven.
When they entered the ocean, Lu Shu asked Sakurai Yaeko in a small voice, “You are not close to them. There’s no need to spend money on them, right?”
Although you were the head of the Collection of G.o.ds, were very rich, and controlled the economy of j.a.pan, there was no need to be so compa.s.sionate.
Sakurai Yaeko happily smiled. “This way, they will feel more welcome and stay here longer.”
Lu Shu was silent. He wanted to say, “Sakurai, you are already very good. You are like a cherry blossom. All you have to do is quietly stand there. People cannot help but stare at you.”
Even if Wen Zaifou and the rest stayed here for 100 years, Lu Shu could not accompany them for 100 years. He had his own life.
Sakurai Yaeko seemed to have understood what Lu Shu was thinking. She smiled and looked at Lu Shu, “Lu Shu-kun, there’s no need to be troubled. They won’t be here forever, right?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. She seemed to have destroyed his dream with her smile.
At that moment, there was a ma.s.sive crash beneath the surface of the water. Even the seawater started to surge because of this movement. The water continued to rise. It was as if a tsunami was forming.
This was the strength of masters. The impact of their movements was ma.s.sive.
Lu Shu looked behind. Behind them was a city. If the tsunami hit the city, many people would die.
“Why have they started to fight?” Sakurai Yaeko was puzzled.
“I want to know as well,” said Lu Shu in a serious tone.
But they did not have the time to think deeply about this. Lu Shu knew that it had been wise of him to not go underwater rashly. If not, he might not be able to bear the impact of their fight.
He stood by the sea. The next moment, his water-type abilities were in action. The water, which was approaching the city, stopped for a moment. Then, it was as if a large hand had pushed against the water, returning it to its original state!
But Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao did not stop. The tsunami rose again and again. Lu Shu could only push back the water again and again.
What was happening? The two masters had suddenly started to fight. He had to deal with the resulting waves and prevent any innocent lives from being lost.
The more it happened, the more he wanted to know what was happening underwater…
“Has anything strange happened in the waters here?” Lu Shu curiously asked Sakurai Yaeko.
“No.” Sakurai Yaeko shook her head. “We have searched the surrounding waters. We discovered the Deep Sea White Sand when we were exploring the area. Now, we have mined all the Deep Sea White Sand.”
“Try to recall. They would not suddenly attack for no reason,” said Lu Shu as he furrowed his eyebrows.
“There is really nothing else…” Sakurai Yaeko was frustrated as well.
At that moment, Wen Zaifou rushed out of the water. Yu Fuyao followed behind him. The two of them came to Lu Shu and Sakurai Yaeko. Wen Zaifou said, “Did you see what I caught?”
Lu Shu looked at the two large crabs in Wen Zaifou’s hands. “So you went to catch crabs?”
“If not?” Wen Zaifou laughed cheerily.
Lu Shu carefully observed Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao. They looked as if they had not fought at all!
It was not that they had not fought. Neither of them wanted to say why they had fought!
Yu Fuyao evaporated the water on her body. Then, she pulled Sakurai Yaeko to pick up sh.e.l.ls on the beach with her. Lu Shu looked at Wen Zaifou. He asked, “Why did you fight?”
Wen Zaifou was decent for once. “Be careful of this woman. I take back what I said earlier. I… don’t think I can defeat her.”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. It was rare for Wen Zaifou not to boast. This was very rare.
Before he could say anything, a few staff dressed in uniforms ran over. The tsunami had shocked them.
When they came to take a look, they realized that the sea was calm. The tsunami had disappeared.
They looked at one another helplessly. Then, they said to Wen Zaifou and Lu Shu, “This place is very dangerous. Did you see the tsunami just now? Please leave quickly.”
Lu Shu felt that the tsunami was not dangerous at all. What was dangerous were the people who were able to create tsunamis.
The tsunami had disappeared. The staff even suspected that they had been hallucinating.
The staff, who were more relaxed now, suddenly saw the two crabs in Wen Zaifou’s hands. He said, “Did you catch them from the sea? Don’t you know that private fis.h.i.+ng is not allowed here? I will have to fine you!”
Lu Shu said in a low voice, “The three rules!”
In the past, Wen Zaifou did not have to banter with ordinary people. However, he had agreed with the three rules. If not, Lu Shu would not have brought him out to play.
Wen Zaifou looked at the crabs in his hands. “They are my pets.”
The staff laughed coldly. “How can you prove that they are your pets?”
Wen Zaifou said, “If I throw them out and call their names, they will come back.”
The staff was shocked. “I don’t believe you. Try it out.”
Wen Zaifou threw the crabs back into the ocean. The staff said, “Call the crabs back.”
Wen Zaifou was puzzled. “Crabs? What crabs?”
