CH 42

Ever since he was a child, Lu Xiaoran’s parents have been earnestly instructing him again and again not to release his companion beast in front of people.

He has always followed the teachings of his parents and tried hard not to let anyone other than his family see his companion beast.

When he occasionally lets others see… It’s only for a short time, and he will restrain his companion beast so that it will show a ferocious appearance.

Therefore, no one in the Holy City knew that his companion beast was different from him—and a little stupid.

It’s a pity that now… the true appearance of his companion beast has been seen.

Fortunately, this is Hongye City. These people don’t know him!

Lu Xiaoran said with a blank expression: “Everyone, I’m very sorry, my companion beast disturbed you… I can give you some compensation.”

Although Lu Xiaoran had no expression on his face, his attitude was very good. Xie Yunnan and Duan Changqing both forgave him.

Of course they will forgive him. The most important thing is… Everyone knows that the emotions of the companion beast represent the emotions of the owner. They share the same spirit, and the essence is similar…

Now the husky is facing the sky with its belly up acting pitiful.

No matter how indifferent the person in front of them looked… they just wanted to laugh.

Especially Duan Changqing.

The dog wanted to bite his companion beast before, but he could feel that the other party was not malicious. Even if it was bitten at that time, the dog probably wouldn’t use force.

As for the dog’s sudden appearance… is it a husky? It’s understandable.

“We’re fine.” Duan Changqing took the initiative.

The Ghost King didn’t speak, but Xia Qing looked a little pained.

“Girl, did my companion beast hurt you?” Lu Xiaoran looked at Xia Qing expressionlessly.

Beauty! beauty!

The husky, who was released by the honey badger, jumped up and wanted to pounce on Xia Qing.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoran was quick-witted, slapped it on the head and took it back.

“I’m sorry, my companion beast is very special and always does things that are completely different from me.” Lu Xiaoran explained very seriously.

Others: “…”

The Ghost King laughed even more.

Lu Xiaoran looked at the Ghost King with a bit of dissatisfaction. “This gentleman, it’s not good to make fun of others.”

“Ah, did I just laugh? Hahahahaha!” The Ghost King laughed.

He and his wife were childhood sweethearts, and Lu Xiaoran was born under his watch. When Lu Xiaoran was a child, he also raised him!

This child is amazing. He looks very quiet, always has a serious face, and his companion beast is the same, until he takes his companion beast to demolish the house together.

Even when he couldn’t walk, he bit holes in the quilt. And after being able to walk, he has to toss everything. When he was a little bigger… He unloaded all the electrical appliances in the house!

This kid has a lot of energy. He wants to go out and play all day, but is stupid and always does stupid things.

His greatest entertainment at that time was watching the child make a fuss everywhere, and then be beaten by his father.

After the beating was over, the child continued to riot.

He thought it was very interesting, so he found a camera to film him. After filming the various unfortunate things, he edited them, and made them into discs for the family to watch.

In the end, all of them were together, watching and laughing at the same time…

Unfortunately, after his own son had an accident, he left the Lu family.

He didn’t expect that the stupid kid back then was still so stupid after not seeing him for so many years.

Oh, he’s made some progress, at least his facial expression management scores 100%.

Over the years, the Ghost King was afraid of being discovered, so he didn’t inquire much about the Lu family, but he also knew that Lu Xiaoran had an excellent reputation in the Holy City and had many admirers.

Did he rely on this cold face?

Lu Xiaoran wanted to hit someone.

He felt that he was too unlucky. How could he have such a companion beast!

His companion beast doesn’t have any of his wiseness and skills at all.

So he could only avoid people every day, using the excuse of hunting, to sneak his companion beast out, otherwise he’ll be uncomfortable!

But this time… He feels that his companion beast is getting more and more excessive!

Lu Xiaoran’s face became colder and colder, while Xia Qing’s expression became more complicated.

Xia Qing was in the Holy City before, and lived incognito as a man for a while.

During that time, she came into contact with some people there. At that time, she felt that all those noble young masters were idiots, and none of them could catch her eye.

Until Lu Xiaoran appeared.

He is the heir to the Lu family, but he is very diligent and goes out to hunt in the city every day. His appearance is even more handsome!

That icy appearance, that iceberg temperament… poked Xia Qing’s heart.

Xia Qing liked Lu Xiaoran very much at that time. Just half an hour ago, Lu Xiaoran was still the fourth male god in her mind.

Well, the first is her boss, the second is Xie Yunnan, and the third is Duan Changqing.

Lu Xiaoran was second on her list of male gods before!

Since the boss’s rank is not based on face, Lu Xiaoran actually ranked first.

But now… the filter is broken, and so is her girlish heart.

“Girl, do you need compensation?” Lu Xiaoran turned to Xia Qing instead of looking at the rude Ghost King.

Xia Qing said with difficulty: “I’m fine, no need.”

“Then I’ll go first.” Lu Xiaoran said again – that man with scars on his face is still smiling, he can’t stay any longer!

“Wait!” The Ghost King stopped Lu Xiaoran: “By the way, what’s your name?”

“My name is Xiao Lu.” Lu Xiaoran said calmly.

“Hahahahaha!” The Ghost King laughed again. “Lu Xiaoran, you don’t even dare to say your real name?”

Lu Xiaoran: “!!!” This person actually knows him?!

Xia Qing was also at a loss for words.

The Ghost King said: “Okay, let’s go!”

Lu Xiaoran didn’t leave: “Everyone, what you saw before was an accident… Can you please stop talking about it?”

These people actually knew him… He can’t let these people talk about him!

Absolutely not!

“Accident? I don’t think so! It is said that the young master of the Lu family goes out to hunt exotic beasts every day and is very diligent. I think it should be to let your companion beast out?” Ghost King said.

“This is because there is something wrong with my companion beast!” Lu Xiaoran said.

The Ghost King still liked this nephew very much, so he only made a few jokes, and stopped. “Okay, we won’t say anything, you can go!”

“You…” Lu Xiaoran still wanted to say something.

The Ghost King said: “If you don’t leave, I’m going to laugh again.”

Lu Xiaoran did stupid things when he was a child, and was recorded by his uncle…

The family will watch those silly videos of him as a kid from time to time and laugh.

He is most afraid of being laughed at!

Lu Xiaoran couldn’t stay any longer and fled.

“Master, do you know him?” Xie Yunnan asked the Ghost King.

The Ghost King said: “Know. The young master of the Lu family in the Holy City.”

The Ghost King didn’t say much, but Duan Changqing felt that… the Ghost King should be very familiar with this young master Lu.

Of course, the Ghost King knew Lu Xiaoran well, and he even planned to go to Lu Xiaoran tonight to reminisce.

Lu Xiaoran has not seen his uncle for a long time, he must miss him very much!

The most important thing is… Lu Xiaoran’s reason to come here is probably to see him.

After Lu Xiaoran left, the Ghost King found a place and asked Xia Qing and others to protect Duan Changqing, while he took Xie Yunnan out to practice and hunt.

Xie Yunnan was a priest, and the Ghost King felt that he didn’t need to learn to hunt exotic beasts, but Duan Changqing insisted that he go… so he could only agree.

Duan Changqing sat on the spot and slowly cultivated.

The spiritual power here is much richer than outside.

The injury he suffered during the battle with the Ghost King has already healed, and his body has recovered a little bit. He can use more of his divine consciousness now… Duan Changqing thought about it and asked, “I want to walk around, okay?”

“I will accompany you.” Xia Qing said.

“Okay.” Duan Changqing agreed.

He finally came to Hongye Forest… He wants to see if he can find some spiritual plants.

Medicinal baths are best for his type of cultivation.

He probably can’t find any today, but after getting familiar with the forest… he can come collect them in the evening!

The most important thing is that there are people following him now… 

Duan Changqing walked slowly in the forest, with Xia Qing following vigilantly, when suddenly… a person wearing a mask suddenly appeared in front of them.

That mask was exactly the same as the one on the Ghost King’s Wanted Order.

Dun, dun, dun…. who’s this guy wearing the Ghost King’s mask? O_O
