Chapter 681: 683, Luo Yu, Luo Yu. (Second update)
"I know," the experimenter gripped Chu Jin’s wrist, pressing the gun closer to her head, "keep it cool, or I’ll take your little life right now."
Chu Jin slightly curled her lips, her clear and handsome face almost devoid of superfluous expression, "As a person, I hate it when someone points something at my head the most. Didn’t your mother teach you to be polite?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she lightly lifted her foot and delivered a whirlwind kick, her right foot lightly flicking the gun out of the experimenter’s hand into the air, followed by a reverse kick straight to the experimenter’s head.
With a "bang," the experimenter fell to the ground, landing in a heap.
Just as the experimenter tried to rise, Chu Jin stepped on his shoulder, and in an instant, he was immobilized.
"You, the speed is okay, but the skills are still lacking." As she spoke, she gently raised her hand and accurately caught the gun falling from the sky.
The pose was extremely cool.
Mo Zhixuan on the side was not to be outdone, dealing with the gun-wielding experimenter who held him at gunpoint in just one move.
A powerful team working together.
Everything happened so fast that the experimenters hardly had a chance to see how they made their moves.
A few experimenters rubbed their eyes in disbelief, the whole thing seemed too surreal.
"Bang, bang, bang." Moments later, the experimenters reacted, picked up their guns, and began firing furiously at Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan.
Just as Chu Jin was about to take action, Mo Zhixuan’s figure flashed in front of her, shielding her from countless bullets. The experimenters were astonished to find that no matter how they aimed, they could not hit the two of them.
Because the bullets just stopped in front of Mo Zhixuan as if they were stuck on some invisible barrier.
The crowd was terrified and continued firing fiercely.
Unfortunately, it was still useless; the bullets could never penetrate that invisible barrier.
"I’m done playing with you guys," Mo Zhixuan said in an easy tone, slowly raising his right hand and giving a gentle wave. Following his motion, the suspended bullets as if endowed with life, clustered together and, under the incredulous gazes of the onlookers, reflected back towards them.
They were tinged with an intimidating force and a thick murderous intent.
At that moment, the eyes of those eight people reflected nothing but the bullets.
Involuntarily, their pupils dilated.
My God!
What were they witnessing!
Were these two people defying the heavens?
To actually control the bullets!
"Bang, bang, bang." All eight experimenters were knocked to the ground, blood staining their sterile suits.
A thick scent of blood suddenly filled the air.
Chu Jin walked to the center, inspecting the equipment and also found some semi-finished potions.
"We can’t stay here," Chu Jin looked at Mo Zhixuan and continued, "Do you have any gasoline?"
She felt like Mo Zhixuan was some sort of Doraemon, whose pockets contained everything.
Sure enough, Mo Zhixuan looked at her and slowly nodded, "Yes."
"Good," Chu Jin said with a faint smile, "There’s another door over there; let’s check it out."
"Mhm." Mo Zhixuan followed her footsteps.
Pushing open the heavy iron door, Chu Jin immediately spotted various precious herbs on the iron shelves, including the orchid grass she was searching for.
Chu Jin’s lips curled slightly as she approached the shelf, packing all the herbs into Mo Zhixuan’s basket.
For a doctor, at any time, encountering any herb, rare or common, one must not let the opportunity slip by.
Besides the large iron racks, there were large iron boxes, all of them locked.
Faint breathing could be heard coming from these boxes.
Having heard the experimenters talk about using them for experiments earlier, Chu Jin’s heart skipped a beat at the thought that these boxes might contain people. She reached out her hand, grasped the iron padlock, and with a slight twist, the lock was opened by her.
She opened the door.
Everything inside was shocking to Chu Jin.
Although the boxes did not contain humans, they held a variety of rare animals from the forest.
Tigers, lions, monkeys, and even... national treasures.
These normally majestic Kings of the Forest now cowered at the sight of Chu Jin, trembling all over, trying to curl up as much as possible to avoid being noticed by her.
They were all huddled in small cages, starved to the bone.
Seeing this scene, Chu Jin clenched her fists. She suddenly regretted letting those experimenters die so easily, she should have tortured them mercilessly, locked them in these iron cages, and let them taste the flavor of despair.
Chu Jin opened the door to the cage, wanting to release these giant beasts, but they all curled up in their cages, too scared to move.
The National treasure carefully extended a paw toward the edge of the iron door, but as if it remembered something, it quickly retracted it.
Mo Zhixuan was also shocked by this scene and joined Chu Jin in opening a few nearby boxes, which unsurprisingly contained precious beasts.
But after the doors were opened, not a single one of those giant beasts dared to go out.
Clearly, some painful memory from before limited their actions, making them abandon their instinctual drive to survive.
Chu Jin took a step back with Mo Zhixuan and spoke slowly, "Don’t be afraid, everyone. We’re not bad people. The real bad people are all dead. In a little while, we’ll burn this place down, so you’d better come out quickly."
Her voice was clear and melodious, as if imbued with a magical power that could cleanse one’s soul.
Hearing this, the animals seemed to understand and after looking at each other, the tiger cautiously extended its front limbs. Only after seeing no clear movement from Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan did it extend its back limbs and walk out of the cage.
After seeing the tiger come out, the other animals dared to follow and leave.
They passed directly by Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan and headed to the laboratory in front.
Soon, the air was filled with the sound of tearing and the chewing of animals gnawing on flesh.
Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan continued inward, where Chu Jin discovered a room full of advanced weapons, firearms, ammunition, and even missiles.
These were all good items that shouldn’t be wasted, so Chu Jin had Mo Zhixuan take them all into his space.
The last room was the experimenters’ resting area.
Here, Chu Jin didn’t find any significant clues, so she had Mo Zhixuan take the gasoline from the space and sprinkle it in every corner of the resting area.
They couldn’t blow it up.
They could only burn all these sinful things to ashes.
The cave was not small; a blast would inevitably cause the mountain to collapse.
Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan carried the gasoline, sprinkling it from the resting area to the outer laboratory.
In the laboratory, the bodies of ten experimenters had been gnawed clean by the animals, with only a few blood-stained bones remaining.
The animals were gone.
Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan didn’t linger any longer. After sprinkling the gasoline, they threw down a burning match and headed out of the cave.
It was pitch black in front of them.
Behind them, flames filled the sky, and tongues of fire engulfed every corner of the cave, turning steel, silver, and copper into ashes.
About a few minutes later, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan reached the entrance of the cave.
No sooner had they stepped out than they were surrounded by a group of animals.
Leading them was a tiger with blood stains on its mouth.
These were the animals they had just rescued from the cave.
Mo Zhixuan frowned slightly; animals were indeed just animals, cold-blooded to the extreme. He and Chu Jin had just saved them, and now they seemed ungrateful, wanting to eat them.
Mo Zhixuan slightly raised his hand, rapidly condensing a ball of light, ready to strike the animals, but Chu Jin grabbed his hand, "Don’t be rash, I think they mean no harm."
It was then that Mo Zhixuan retracted the energy from his hand.
At that moment, the leading tiger raised its head, letting out a long roar that shook the earth, causing birds nearby to scatter in a flurry.
After this tiger’s roar, the tiger actually bent its front legs, like a human, and knelt down toward Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan.
The other animals also followed suit, all kneeling just like the tiger.
Mo Zhixuan watched the animals incredulously; these seemingly mindless animals were so understanding and even knew gratitude, something he had never imagined.
Chu Jin was also surprised and after some thought, took out two handfuls of elixirs and placed them in front of the tiger, "We have a fate between us. Share these with everyone, and remember, no matter how you cultivate in the future, you must not harm humans at will, or I won’t forgive you."
The large tiger seemed to understand, nodding its head and extending a paw toward Chu Jin.
Chu Jin reached out and grasped its paw, "Alright, get up now." She inexplicably felt a great affinity for this tiger, as though she had once owned one herself.
After the tiger stood, it took the elixir given by Chu Jin and led the other animals away, disappearing into the miasma.
"Let’s go, too," said Mo Zhixuan as he walked up to Chu Jin, extending his hand.
Chu Jin placed her hand in his and stood up, then tentatively asked, "Did I used to have a pet?"
"Yes, you did," Mo Zhixuan nodded, looking up somewhat joyfully. "Did you remember something?"
"Not really," Chu Jin replied with some disappointment shaking her head. "I just felt that the tiger just now seemed so familiar. Did I used to have a tiger as a pet?"
Having a pet tiger.
Although the idea seemed ludicrous, Chu Jin felt that she might have actually raised one.
Mo Zhixuan held her hand as they walked, and said, "Yes, you used to have a White Tiger as a pet, an ancient Divine Beast. You even named it Chu Xiaobai."
"Really?" Chu Jin was overjoyed.
"Of course, it’s true. I might deceive anyone else, but I would never deceive you. Oh right, I still have a picture of Xiaobai." With that, Mo Zhixuan took out his cell phone from his pocket and showed her the photo of Xiaobai.
Chu Jin eagerly took the cell phone, but her smile immediately froze at the corners of her mouth. "Mo Zhixuan, you big liar!"
What happened to the ancient beast?
What happened to the White Tiger?
The creature in the photo was clearly just a big white cat.
Though both were feline animals, the difference was far too great!
"I really didn’t lie to you," Mo Zhixuan explained, "This is what the White Tiger looked like before it transformed. We used to live in the mortal world, and White Tigers are protected animals, not allowed to be kept as pets."
"Really?" Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows.
"Of course, it’s true," Mo Zhixuan continued, thinking of another matter concerning the White Tiger, "Xiaobai is still at home waiting for you to return. I visited it recently, and it seemed quite lonely. It waits for you every day, but unfortunately, it is faced with disappointment daily."
Just like him at that time.
"Then, after we go back, will you take me to see it right away?" Chu Jin’s eyes were slightly red.
"Alright," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, and then said, "Actually, it’s not just Xiaobai waiting for you. There’s also your mother, my mother, Xiu, Qingqing, Aunt Tong... and countless others who are worried about you. They are all waiting for you to return at every moment."
So she still had so many relatives after all.
In that moment, Chu Jin felt so fortunate.
"Then shall we hurry down the mountain?" Although she didn’t remember them, in her heart, she desperately longed to see them right away.
"Alright," Mo Zhixuan stopped in his tracks, embracing her waist, "Close your eyes."
Chu Jin gently closed her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her face.
When she opened her eyes again, the scene before her had completely changed.
Although they were still in the forest, they were not far from Uncle Wu’s cabin—it was just a two-hour walk away.
The sky had turned completely dark, with the moon over the treetops, and the forest was silent.
Mo Zhixuan took a tent out from the space, "Jin, let’s stay here tonight and descend the mountain in the morning."
"Okay," Chu Jin nodded, "Then you set up the tent, and I’ll go gather some dry wood." With that, Chu Jin walked off to the side.
"Be careful," Mo Zhixuan looked up.
"I know." Chu Jin waved to him without looking back, signaling for him to be at ease.
Soon enough,
A tent appeared on that empty patch of grassland, with a fire burning before it.
A young couple sat embraced before the fire.
The firelight made their faces look so stunningly noble and elegant.
At the foot of the mountain,
Luo Yu was feeling extremely smug.
She couldn’t wait to announce to everyone in the Superpower World that she was pregnant with Mo Zhixuan’s child.
Right now, Luo Yu, accompanied by Mrs. Mo and the servants of the Mo family, was strolling on Ancient City Street.
Mrs. Mo held Luo Yu’s arm personally, attracting frequent glances from onlookers.
Indeed, Luo Yu’s goal was to draw attention to Mrs. Mo. Once people noticed Mrs. Mo, they would notice her, and having someone as distinguished as Mrs. Mo holding her arm was tantamount to declaring her elevated status to the world.
Furthermore, Luo Yu exclusively visited maternity stores, purchasing baby supplies and maternity wear.
Luo Yu deliberately did this for the other citizens to see.
She wanted to use this opportunity to inform these people that she was pregnant, that the child belonged to the Mo family, and she wanted everyone to know that she was the Mo family’s eldest daughter-in-law, the mistress of the Mo family.
However, for some reason, although people frequently glanced their way, not a single one showed a look of surprise.
Logically speaking, Mrs. Mo taking a young woman shopping at maternity stores should have sparked a lot of discussion.
But these people acted as if they didn’t see that they were shopping for maternity items at all.
This was somewhat strange.
Luo Yu glanced at Mrs. Mo beside her, frowning slightly. Could it be that this old woman was behind this oddity?
She didn’t want to admit who she was in front of everyone?
Luo Yu walked to a rack of children’s clothes, picked up several garments, and casually stuffed them into the arms of Mrs. Mo, "Aunt Mo, could you please hold these for me."
"Sure." Mrs. Mo’s expression remained unchanged as she held the clothes, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth. Soon, the Mo family would welcome a new little life, so of course she was happy.
As long as Luo Yu didn’t cross the line, Mrs. Mo was willing to do whatever she asked at this time.
Seeing Mrs. Mo like this, a sneer flitted across the depths of Luo Yu’s eyes.
This Mrs. Mo used to look down on her the most, but now, she still had to treat her like an ancestor.
"And this, please hold this as well," Luo Yu said as she picked up a pile of baby care products.
Before long, Mrs. Mo’s hands were full, while the hands of the servants behind her were empty.
It gave the impression that Mrs. Mo was the servant instead.
With her hands too full, Mrs. Mo intended to transfer the items to her space.
However, as if Luo Yu had seen her intention, she spoke in a tricky way, "Aunt Mo, you’re the child’s grandmother after all, so to show your sincere heart to the child, could you please hold these items yourself, without taking any shortcuts? Only by doing this can you show the child your sincere heart."
As Luo Yu spoke, she caressed her belly with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mo said nothing, just carried the items, following beside Luo Yu.
Luo Yu saw that Mrs. Mo had been trained by her to the point where she didn’t even dare to speak, and for a moment, her tail was almost lifted to the sky.
"That’s enough, we won’t buy anymore, let’s go with these," Luo Yu said as she picked up a bag of diapers and placed it atop everything else in Mrs. Mo’s arms, "Let’s go back."
Ancient City Street was some distance away from the house where the Mo family lived.
It would take about 15 minutes by car.
But Luo Yu insisted on walking back.
She had also walked on the way there; her goal was to be seen by more people.
However, in the busy streets with people coming and going, not a single person gave her a second glance.
It was as if they hadn’t seen Mrs. Mo, who was right beside Luo Yu.
Mrs. Mo was a smart woman, and she understood Luo Yu’s intentions.
The Mo family wouldn’t recognize Luo Yu, so nobody knew about her pregnancy.
To everyone else, Mrs. Mo was just an ordinary elderly woman with no connection to the Mo family.
Mrs. Mo had long used her special ability to alter her aura and appearance; it was just that Luo Yu hadn’t realized it.
With the support of the servants, Luo Yu arrogantly led the way, full of pride, seeing everyone else as mere ants compared to her, she alone seemed to be of the highest nobility.
The streets of Ancient City Street were crowded.
Midst the throng of people, a sleazy-looking middle-aged man noticed Luo Yu.
He threw away the steamed bun in his hand and stared at Luo Yu, a calculative gleam in his eyes.
No wonder he hadn’t seen Luo Yu for so long; she had been hiding in the Superpower World, indulging in luxuries!
From her appearance, it was clear that she was living a good life.
The sleazy smile on the middle-aged man’s face widened as he quickly approached Luo Yu, "Luo Yu, stop right there!"
He called her Luo Yu, not Luo Yu.
The voice was too familiar.
Luo Yu halted in her tracks and looked back.
She saw a man dressed in shabby clothes, with a scruffy beard and messy hair resembling a bird’s nest, looking like a beggar from under the bridge.
"Look at you, Luo Yu, I thought you were dead! To think you’ve been hiding here living the good life!" The middle-aged man advanced, grabbing Luo Yu’s collar with a sinister look, as if she owed him a great deal of money.
"Where did this lunatic come from!" Luo Yu looked at the man before her, a flash of guilt in her eyes. She shook off the middle-aged man’s hand, "You must have mistaken me for someone else!"
The middle-aged man was weak despite his bluster, and Luo Yu’s shove sent him sprawling to the ground.
"Let’s go!" Luo Yu said coldly, glancing at the middle-aged man with anger and striding away.
The servants followed closely behind.
"You wretch! Luo Yu, you heartless bitch, whore! You get a little success and you disown your family!" The middle-aged man caught up, cursing loudly, "People like you will be struck by lightning sooner or later!"
"Luo Yu, what’s going on?" Mrs. Mo stopped, her face full of authority.
"Aunt Mo, he’s just a madman, I don’t know him. Let’s go quickly," Luo Yu said as if she had become another person, her eyes and brows soft, "And you servants, what’s wrong with you? Don’t you see you should help Aunt Mo carry some things? You have no sense at all!"
