Chapter 995: Puppet Master Ming Yueye
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The clouds above the Sword Hut merged together. The people inside the clouds stopped looking at Lu Shu and it stopped Lu Shu from peeking into the clouds too.
The s.p.a.ce in the clouds was way more vast than one had expected. There was a real mountain and a young man sat on the peak of the mountain all year long.
Lu Shu held Lu Xiaoyu’s hand and walked backwards. He said seriously as he walked, “In the Luniverse, there are indeed hidden talents. I can’t defeat the person behind the clouds yet.”
“Why do you want to fight with him?” Lu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
“Exactly, why do I want to fight with him… Sigh, oh by the way, do you want to eat the meat pie from s.h.i.+liu Lane?” asked Lu Shu.
“No thanks, didn’t they say that the glazed flaming chicken from the palace tastes the best, I want to eat that,” replied Lu Xiaoyu.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu realized that Lu Shu was stunned. Lu Xiaoyu’s words struck Lu Shu like a bolt of lightning, allowing him to think about a clue.
At this moment, Lu Shu felt as though he recalled something important that he had once forgotten. Lu Shu dragged Lu Xiaoyu and ran towards the inn. “I will bring you to eat the glazed flaming chicken tomorrow. Today, I need to do something important.”
Lu Xiaoyu pouted. However, what Lu Shu was referring to was definitely more important than the glazed flaming chicken.
After they returned to the inn, they realized that Yi Qian had yet to return from obtaining the intelligence reports. Therefore, Lu Shu whipped out his black pearl from the Seal of Lands!
Glazed flaming chicken was actually the name of a store located at the East of the palace. It sold a delicious dish called the glazed flaming chicken. He had heard about the name of the store many times. Zhang Weiyu mentioned it, Liu Yizhao mentioned it, and the first person who mentioned it was… Ming Yueye.
It was the person whom Lu Shu once met in the Chaos Abyss. n.o.body knew how long had that person been trapped in that abyss. His ident.i.ty was a mystery.
That was because he was an amazing liar…
Lu Shu returned to his room and injected the celestial powers into the black pearl. Then, he appeared in the Chaos Abyss.
At this moment, Ming Yueye was holding onto a green bean. As if he was holding a marble, he shot the green bean out and it struck another green bean accurately. Then, the green bean rolled and landed beside Lu Shu’s foot.
Both of them were stunned. Ming Yueye sat up straight and acted as though nothing had happened…
Lu Shu kept silent for two seconds. “Is it fun?”
“From Ming Yueye’s distress, +666!”
“What do you mean, I don’t understand you?” Ming Yueye acted ignorant and sat up straight. Clinging noises came as the chains on his arms and feet touched.
Lu Shu examined Ming Yueyu’s wrists and ankles carefully. They looked as if they were scarred and the scars looked new.
The chains must be made of extraordinary material and Ming Yueye must have had tried to break free multiple times until his energy was depleted. Yet now, he was playing with the green beans as though nothing had happened.
The green bean was the bean that Lu Shu used to disgust Hai Gongzi…
Lu Shu thought, before he arrived, Ming Yueye must have roared ferociously and hurt himself through struggling several times in the black s.p.a.ce.
Lu Shu took out many snacks from the Seal of Lands and tossed them to Ming Yueye. “I brought some snacks. You can eat them first.”
Ming Yueye was curious. “Are you sure? I never knew you were so kind.”
“I will only ask you one question, who on earth are you and why are you trapped here,” asked Lu Shu calmly.
However, how would Ming Yueye tell the truth for some snacks, he replied with a smile, “Then in exchange, you should tell me about your true ident.i.ty too.
“If I don’t know who trapped you, how am I going to bring you out?” Lu Shu said as he looked at the deep, clear scars on Ming Yueyu’s back.
“Are we exchanging questions?” suggested Ming Yueye.
Lu Shu was slight unhappy, “Is it even useful?”
Ming Yueye shook the chains and they produced loud noises. He thought about it. “Actually, there’s not much use.”
After all, they were not honest people and the information they exchanged would definitely be fake. n.o.body would say the truth and they would end up in a series of speculations.
Ming Yueye shook the food packaging and examined it. Lu Shu realized that Ming Yueye did not know how to eat it.
He took out another pack of chips and demonstrated it to Ming Yueye. Then, Ming Yueye realized how to open the packaging. However, instead of eating it right away, he asked again,
“Since when were you so nice? You must not have entered this place in a year, what invited you over to look for me?”
Lu Shu kept silent. He would definitely make mistakes if he spoke. He did not expect Ming Yueye to a.n.a.lyze the situation so thoroughly. He had indeed planned to obtain the information of the Luniverse through Ming Yueye. That was because Lu Shu was very certain that Ming Yueye came from the Luniverse and had once a.s.sumed a superior position. Therefore, he should know many secrets.
No ordinary person would be trapped in this place like Ming Yueye. How would any ordinary person be able to survive after not eating or drinking for a prolonged period of time?!
“Are you sure that you don’t want to be honest with me?” said Lu Shu.
“Hold on…” Ming Yueye suddenly had a bad premonition. Then, he saw Lu Shu take out a round paper bowl with a black object. “What the f*ck is that, it is so smelly!”
Meanwhile, Lu Shu left the black pearl after putting the stinky tofu down. He was waiting in his room…
“From Ming Yueye’s distress, +199!”
“From Ming Yueye’s distress, +210!”
“From…”
Lu Shu felt that he could confirm something. Ming Yueye must be trapped in the Luniverse!
In the past, after disgusting Ming Yueye, the distress points would disappear once he left the black pearl. Yet now, this was not the case.
On one hand, it showed that the barrier between the two worlds could stop the distress points. On the other hand, it implied that the stinky tofu was very smelly…
However, where was Ming Yueye?
Lu Shu returned to the Chaos Abyss and immediately heard Ming Yueye’s roar. “Are you crazy? What the f*ck is this!”
Lu Shu suddenly said, “Cloud Yi, Tiger Zhi… The Puppet Masters have all died.”
Ming Yueye suddenly fell silent. In the darkness of the Chaos Abyss, there was a beam of light s.h.i.+ning from his forehead. However, Ming Yueye looked down and one could not see his expression.
“From Ming Yueye’s distress, +1000!”
Ming Yueye suddenly lifted his head and said calmly, “You must have came from the land of forefathers since you know Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi. However, I do not believe that they are all dead.”
“So, you are a Puppet Master?” sighed Lu Shu. He could tell from the distress points.
