TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Really Parting Ways

“Hey, you mud-legged, ignorant ancient ape, you actually didn’t choose my young master?”

White Tiger Cub raised its paw, ready to bring back the ungrateful monkey and show it the power of its tiger paw.

Luo Shuyou pressed it down, “Aren’t you always complaining about it competing for my attention? Why are you anxious now that it didn’t choose you?”

White Tiger Cub affectionately nuzzled Luo Shuyou’s hand and arrogantly meowed, “We can not want it, but it can’t be so unappreciative andzhǔdòng – proactively distance itself from us! I, White Tiger Cub, am the companion beast of the Wood Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core, the master of all living things. How can I tolerate being looked down upon by a mere Wind Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core’s companion beast?”

It should lower its head and acknowledge me as its big brother when it sees me.

Luo Shuyou had a contract connection with White Tiger Cub, so he could understand its meows and thoughts. He patted its tiger face to comfort it, “Alright, it’s not looking down on you. It’s probably terrified of you! Don’t worry, your great tiger majesty is still there.”

Xu Yuzhe didn’t expect Luo Shuyou and Xie YunChuan to give him the Wind Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core so easily. He was stunned.

A flash of inspiration. Gu Tangyue watched her little cutie burrow into Xu Yuzhe’s body. Regretfully sighing, she lowered her eyes and sobbed, “Wuwuwu~! Why doesn’t the little cutie like me? I’m its destined mother…!”

Gu Tangxi ruthlessly exposed her, “Destined my foot. You don’t even have wind abilities. It wouldn’t choose you no matter what. You’re dreaming!”

“Am I wrong to want my own fluffy pet?” Gu Tangyue looked at Gu Tangxi resentfully and pressed her chest forward, demanding, “Don’t you want one? Hmm? Don’t you want one?”

Gu Tangxi: “……!”

She couldn’t hold it in anymore, “Wuwu! My defenses are broken. I want one too!!! Where’s my dear Fire Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core? Why isn’t my little cutie coming to find its mother and recognize its ancestors?”

Xu Yuzhe knew they didn’t have malicious intentions. After their commotion, he felt much more at ease. He summoned the golden monkey and brought it to Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue, “If you like it, feel free to pet and hold it. As for recognizing a mom?” Xu Yuzhe’s expression was strained, and he politely declined, “Let’s not do that.”

Gu Tangxi quickly snatched the golden monkey from Xu Yuzhe’s arms, leaving Gu Tangyue empty-handed. She could only resort to rubbing Gu Tangxi’s body, unable to enjoy the joy of holding a fluffy pet.

Xu Yuzhe walked up to Luo Shuyou and Xie YunChuan, “Thank you. Is there anything I can do?”

There’s no such thing as a free lunch. But no matter what he needed to pay, as long as he could afford it, it was worth it.

Luo Shuyou didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Aren’t you going to Li City with them? You’ll be living in the same city from now on. I hope you can protect them as much as possible.”

Li City was the dream sanctuary for millions of displaced people in the end of the world, but no place could be an ideal Garden of Eden. The specific situation in the city was unknown.

Compared to outsiders, Gu Tangxi and Gu Tangyue weren’t weak, but based on the people from Li City they’d met so far, they probably weren’t doing too well in Li City.

They were the people who had been with Luo Shuyou the longest besides Xie YunChuan. He had vague memories as a small zombie, knowing that they never disliked him and always took care of him,hōngzhe – coaxing, and protecting him like a child when his mind was unclear.

They were good, but Luo Shuyou couldn’t continue to bring them along. He could feel that the zombie crystal core in his body had long been formed and had even undergone some kind of mutation due to the long-term suppression and nourishment of the Wood Spirit Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core.

Luo Shuyou knew he wouldn’t remain in his current state forever. He wanted to spend some time in a world of two with Xie YunChuan before the mutation occurred, and see if they could find a solution by traveling across the land.

Although Li City was the most advanced research base, Luo Shuyou understood Xie YunChuan’s concerns. Although they were both strong, even at the top of the power rankings, they couldn’t use their strength to intimidate the entire research base into wholeheartedly seeking a cure for him.

Now wasn’t the time. If they ever reached a dead end, Luo Shuyou thought, perhaps then, he and Xie YunChuan could kill their way back, so powerful that everyone… wouldn’t dare to have ulterior motives.

Xie YunChuan added, “If you plan to develop in Li City for a long time, I hope you can climb to the higher levels and grasp more of Li City’s secrets, especially the things in the research institute.”

Xie YunChuan always had the feeling that Xu Yuzhe would be an excellent leader.

Xu Yuzhe nodded, “I can.”

“If one day you choose to return to Li City, I guarantee you, no matter what happens, at least, I won’t let you be isolated and helpless.”

The zombie virus in Luo Shuyou’s body was always an uncontrollable factor. Those who had traveled with them all the way knew this best.

Xu Yuzhe knew that Xie YunChuan wanted him to develop his own power in Li City, as a way to leave a backup plan.

In the end of the world, the strong were respected, and strength was the only truth. With the blessing of the Jīngpò- Crystal Soul or Core, Xu Yuzhe did have plans to develop his own power. After all, people… longed for power. No matter when, the allocation of resources was always biased towards those with power.

The group said goodbye again. This time, no one called out to each other. In the end, Gu Tangyue was the first to turn around. Then, the three of them watched Luo Shuyou and Xie YunChuan walk away.

Luo Shuyou knew they were watching them and knew that Gu Tangyue was the first to turn around…

“Do you know she likes you?”

When the feeling of being watched disappeared, the two slowed down. Luo Shuyou asked casually.

Xie YunChuan was noncommittal, “She just doesn’t want to live a hard life in the end of the world.”

Luo Shuyou: “Conflicting?”

“Not conflicting.” Xie YunChuan replied, “What I mean is, it could be anyone.”

“Where are we going?”

Luo Shuyou didn’t continue that topic. Just as Xie YunChuan said, Gu Tangyue just wanted someone to care for her like Xie YunChuan cared for Luo Shuyou. She didn’t like Xie YunChuan as a person, but wanted someone who could love her like Xie YunChuan loved Luo Shuyou. Who that person was didn’t matter.

“Follow me.”

Xie YunChuan didn’t answer his question, but took his hand and personally led the way.
