Capítulo 137: Chapter 132 Liu Erlong Develops a Fondness, the Goddess's Sincere Plea!_1
"The principal is back!"
Huang Yuan and his two comrades were overjoyed; it seemed they had been worried about Liu Erlong just now.
The fiery figure approached in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, droplets of blood still dripped through the black strands of Liu Erlong's hair, her petite body trembling from excessive fatigue, but her beautiful eyes glinted with unwavering determination, coupled with a hint of exhilaration.
She walked up to Luo Yu, gracefully bowed in a curtsy and said softly:
"Liu Erlong thanks the young master for his assistance."
"Otherwise, my three students might have perished here today."
With no response for a long while, Liu Erlong looked up in confusion and asked, "Young Master?"
"Ahem."
Luo Yu coughed dryly, having been rather distracted just now when Liu Erlong bent over.
The alluring glimpse of her fair cleavage had nearly ensnared him.
"Young Master, this is for you."
Liu Erlong presented the object she had been tightly clutching.
As they exchanged it, their hands accidentally brushed against each other for an instant.
Her hand trembled slightly, quickly retracting.
It was just a touch of the hands, yet she blushed like a young girl.
Luo Yu found it strange, his gaze shifting to the object she had handed him.
It was a crystal-clear red left arm bone, from within which seemed to emanate the faint roar of a mighty bear.
"Is this the soul bone burst forth from the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear?"
"What? A soul bone??" Huang Yuan and the others exclaimed, their pupils dilating.
Liu Erlong shot them a sidelong glare and said, "Keep it down, the three of you. Don't make the young master laugh at us."
"Hiss!"
Huang Yuan and company shrank back, making a zipping motion across their mouths.
Liu Erlong chuckled and said, "The young master indeed has a sharp eye, this is indeed the soul bone produced by that demonic bear."
Luo Yu asked, "Did you kill those two beasts?"
Liu Erlong nodded, expressing regret, "Unfortunately, the Rhinoceros didn't yield anything."
"Hiss!"
This woman was not only stunningly beautiful but also had quite the fiery temper.
It was consistent inside and out, all brimming with fierce energy.
Luo Yu tossed the transparent arm bone in his hand, his lips curling upward.
"This is your trophy; it doesn't seem fitting for me to take it, does it?"
Liu Erlong forced a smile and said, "What's unfitting? Please don't jest with me, Erlong. If I kept it, I'd only feel guilty."
"Without your intervention, I might have escaped, but killing these three monsters would have been impossible, and my students would have met their deaths here."
Luo Yu clicked his tongue and said, "You're really willing to give up this soul bone to me?"
Liu Erlong shook her head.
"This soul bone was never mine to begin with, so how could I gift it?"
"It should belong to the young master."
"While soul bones are precious, there are things in this world far more valuable than they are."
Luo Yu looked into the woman's frank gaze and felt a surge of fondness in his heart.
The soul bone was not a rarity for him, but for others, it was an incredibly precious treasure.
It was enough to turn the best of friends against each other, plotting and scheming.
Huang Yuan and his comrades, who were initially eyeing the soul bone so intently that they were practically drooling, began to show pensiveness after hearing Liu Erlong's remarks, their greed gradually fading and shame showing in their eyes.
If it were them, they might have kept the soul bone for themselves.
They would not have been so generous.
But now, their mentality had shifted because Liu Erlong had inadvertently taught them a lesson.
Luo Yu played with the soul bone in his hand for a while, then casually tossed it back.
"I appreciate the gesture, but keep it for yourself, I don't need it."
Liu Erlong and her students were full of surprise.
What kind of background did this man have that he didn't care about a soul bone?
Impossible, no one could see a soul bone and remain indifferent.
Liu Erlong's expression grew complex. "If you refuse to accept it, I wouldn't know how else to repay you."
Luo Yu shook his head with a light smile.
"True happiness cannot be bought with riches."
"My willingness to help was because you deserved it, not for any reward."
Liu Erlong's luminous eyes stared intently at Luo Yu's extraordinary Banished Immortal face, which seemed even more handsome at this moment, causing her beautiful eyes to glaze over slightly, utterly captivated.
In battle, decisively ruthless, swift as thunder.
In daily life, easygoing and affable.
Just what kind of exceptional person was he?
What major power could cultivate such a talented young hero? It was truly remarkable.
A strong sense of curiosity bubbled up in Liu Erlong's heart.
Having roamed the martial world for years, she had seen all types of people, and she could keenly sense the man's extraordinary nature.
Liu Erlong, without being coy, accepted the soul bone back.
She stated generously, "Today, I owe the young master a favor. In the future, should you ever request it, Erlong shall grant it without fail."
"Any request?" asked Luo Yu.
The fiery lady glared, her tone definite:
"Erlong never makes promises lightly, what she says, she never goes back on."
Luo Yu's face showed a strange expression as he muttered to himself.
Never goes back on her word?
I don't buy it.
Just throw out ten requests and you'll definitely tell me to scram.
Luo Yu asked, "There's something I don't understand, why were you surrounded by soul beasts?"
At the mention of this, Liu Erlong clenched her teeth.
"I've been to Sunset Forest many times before without incident, but today, all the soul beasts in the inner area seemed spooked, rushing out to the periphery."
"Spooked?" Luo Yu pondered.
"Yes! As if there was some terrifying presence in the inner part that they dared not stay near."
"Uhm..."
Luo Yu showed a strange expression, wondering if it could be the essence of the Water-Fire Dragon King that leaked out, scaring these soul beasts away.
"Young Master Yu, that..." Liu Erlong suddenly began to stammer.
"What is it?" Luo Yu asked.
"Could you, perhaps, not separate from us for the time being?"
Liu Erlong blushed slightly, "I've just exhausted all my Soul Power in killing those two soul beasts, and if we encounter danger again, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the three students."
"Oh, I see," Luo Yu said teasingly. "So you want me to be a bodyguard?"
"No... it's just that..." Liu Erlong suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Luo Yu said, "What do you mean, exactly?"
"Please, don't go yet."
Liu Erlong earnestly requested.
Now truly in a weakened state, Liu Erlong feared that if Luo Yu left, they would all be wiped out should even a four-thousand-year-old soul beast appear, so she was desperate for him to stay.
Luo Yu spoke, "I'll stay, but give me a reason."
"This..."
Liu Erlong was at a loss, her eyes flickering quickly.
"We should be considered friends by now, right?"
"Yes."
Luo Yu nodded, agreeing not to leave.
"Thank you."
Liu Erlong thanked him, her cheeks reddening.
The man had already saved her once and she still wouldn't let him go; she herself felt it was a bit too much.
Huang Yuan and the other two exchanged glances, witnessing Principal Erlong ask for help seemingly for the first time.
...
As the four walked through the Sunset Forest, they chatted quite a bit and grew more familiar with each other.
Liu Erlong suddenly spoke up, "Young Master Yu, can we stop here for a moment?"
"What's wrong?" Luo Yu inquired.
Liu Erlong appeared somewhat awkward as she gestured ahead.
"I'd like to take a quick trip up ahead; could you wait here for me for a while?"
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
Liu Erlong shook her head, "No, it's not necessary, I can manage on my own!"
Watching Liu Erlong disappear into the jungle ahead, Luo Yu was puzzled.
Could it be that even a goddess needs a bathroom break?
After hastily walking several hundred steps and parting the lush bushes, Liu Erlong sighed in relief upon seeing a clear spring brook ahead.
Her memory was correct, it was indeed this place.
She was covered in blood when she killed the soul beasts, and now the feeling of the dried blood was unbearably uncomfortable.
Not only her chest, but her legs felt exceptionally sticky.
For a woman with a thing for cleanliness, this was simply intolerable, not for a single second.
Her cheeks reddening, she glanced back in the direction from which she had come, biting her lip.
They shouldn't come over here.
Yeah, they won't.
After looking around to be sure, Liu Erlong disdainfully peeled off her blood-stained leather clothes, looking at her milky body covered in blood, she even despised herself.
She leaped into the creek, and the frown on her delicate features soon relaxed, revealing a pleased expression.
...
Why hasn't she come back? A bathroom break shouldn't take that long.
What the hell is this woman up to?
Luo Yu found it strange.
Huang Yuan and the other two students were leaning against a tree, feigning sleep.
Suddenly, a woman's cry of alarm echoed from afar.
Luo Yu's eyes sharpened.
That was Liu Erlong's voice, was there trouble?
"You three wait here for me, I'll go check it out!"
Luo Yu instructed as he disappeared into the woods.
