Chapter 716: Natural Calamities Are Coming

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was really unlucky for Li Yixiao to bump into Nalan Que. He had brought back over 1000 bottles of essential balms. He thought that he could earn some pocket money from them. One or two thousand dollars was a large amount for him. He started selling the essential balms to others, but the balms were eventually confiscated by Nalan Que.

He wished for Nalan Que to run away with someone else, but she would not do such a thing…

Li Yixiao lay down on the table, heavily drunk. He had wanted to treat Lu Shu to a drink, but from the looks of things, he would not be able to pay the bill. When Lu Shu decided to settle the bill, he suddenly realized that Nalan Que was already taking out money at the cashier…

“He vented out his woes, didn’t he?” Nalan Que walked over and smiled.

“Actually, I feel that there is no need for you to be so strict with him. But I won’t involve myself in your affairs,” said Lu Shu.

“Back then, he was humiliated at my place. He took the train back home that night without even saying goodbye. I did not know where he went either. Thus, from then on, I promised that if I met him again, I would not give him any more than is required to buy a train ticket. Everyday, I give him 50 dollars,” said Nalan Que.

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Actually, some trains only cost 20 dollars.”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +999!”

Lu Shu looked at Li Yixiao… ha ha… so you have not been knocked out from that alcohol?

Lu Shu took out his phone to check. He confirmed, “That’s right. It only costs 19 dollars for a standing ticket from Luo City to the provincial capital.”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +999!”

Li Yixiao tipsily woke up. “Hm? Nalan, you’re here. I love you.”

Lu Shu was getting a headache from this. Why was he in a frenzy over just some spare change? He could see that Li Yixiao was rather heavily drunk. Although he had not yet lost consciousness, his mind was not completely clear either. Under these circumstances, Lu Shu could see how much Li Yixiao wanted money…

But Nalan Que remained unmoved. She said calmly, “Li Yixiao, do you like my angelic appearance, or my demonic physique?”

Li Yixiao was dumbfounded. “Hm, I like your humor…”

Lu Shu was speechless.

You are done for, brother.

“Ha ha, let’s talk about this when we get back.” Nalan Que carried Li Yixiao on her back and left. The people in the shop had probably never seen such a strong lady. All the people in front of her made way for her.

“This is love…” Lu Shu sighed.

He walked back alone. It was still raining. Someone without an umbrella hurriedly brushed past him. Suddenly, he felt as if the rain had stopped. He stepped forward and the rain continued to fall from the sky.

He turned back in astonishment and looked at the young man he had just brushed past. It was as if an invisible umbrella was sheltering him. Rain fell on the invisible umbrella and stopped abruptly.

The moment Lu Shu walked into the courtyard, he suddenly heard a cracking sound under his foot. He looked and saw that he had stepped on and killed a termite.

But the termite was rather strange. It was as big as his thumb, and had a much harder shell than ordinary termite.

Lu Shu suddenly moved. He moved to the left, bent down and picked up a termite that tried to return into a hole in the ground. It was as big as his thumb as well. Its white and shiny shell was blinding.

Its ferocious mouth moved up and down, as if it was about to bite Lu Shu. But since Lu Shu was holding on to its back, it could only bite at air.

This termite was very fast. If it wanted to attack an ordinary person, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to escape it. Lu Shu took out his phone from the Seal of Lands and called You Mingyu. He wanted someone to come and take this specimen.

Although he had chanced upon it, he should inform the Heavenly Network about this discovery.

The termite was called the toothless tiger, as it had great destructive power. Crash! Lu Shu heard a road sign collapse with a crash nearby. He walked over to take a look and saw a few termites going back into the ground. The collapse of the road sign was their masterpiece.

As expected, everything had their drawbacks along with their benefits. As humans enjoyed the benefits brought about by the magically-rich era, they also had to face the effects of that double-edged sword.

But Lu Shu thought, humans had always inhabited this place. This was mankind’s greatest advantage. Now, there was organization and discipline in the Heavenly Network. The team had just been formed. There should be no problems dealing with these creatures, right?

But did these creatures possess any other advantageous skills?

In less than ten minutes, You Mingyu brought a team of people with him. A Class C earth-type Metahuman stood by the road sign. With a roar, all the soil underneath him was suddenly sent flying out. He had opened up a large hole in the ground.

“The queen is down there. Just kill it and we’ll be done.” The earth-type Metahuman said, “We have been cleaning many ant nests recently. Killing the queen ant should do. They are creatures with a rather complex social structure. After that is destroyed, they can no longer survive. Although they have evolved, they have not yet been able to free themselves from the boundaries of the natural world.”

Lu Shu asked You Mingyu, “Has this kind of thing been happening often?”

“Yes.” You Mingyu nodded his head and said, “Now, we are also thinking of ways to deal with this situation. No matter whether they are termites, ants, insects, or stray dogs, they might suddenly attack.”

Lu Shu nodded his head and went back. They were experienced with this. There was no need for Lu Shu to hang around either.

Lu Shu opened the door and saw Lu Xiaoyu and Little Fury on the sofa watching television. Little Fury had dyed its hair back to its original color. It was very worried that Lu Shu would give it a tattoo of a vulgarity. If that really happened, how would it face its underlings?

Lu Shu asked Lu Xiaoyu, “Recently, there have been many strange creatures in Luo City. Do you know about this?”

Lu Xiaoyu counted on her fingers. “I got Little Fury to bring its underlings to dig up 11 ant nests. Its underlings seem to really like eating those ants. They sounded as if they were eating fries. There were also over ten stray dogs and cats that suddenly attacked people, as if they had gone mad. They were all killed by Little Fury’s underlings.”

Killing was no longer a strange thing to Lu Xiaoyu. There was nothing unnatural about it. But for a young girl to talk about these kinds of things… it was strangely violent.

Lu Shu suddenly realized something. He turned and asked Little Fury, “How many underlings do you have now?!”

Little Fury wrote in its little notebook. “Over 40 thousand.”

Lu Shu gasped in shock. “Are you controlling all of them?”

“Yes.”

Lu Shu thought about it. He took out two refresher fruits and diluted them for Little Fury. He gave another two refresher fruits to Little Fury for it to eat. Lu Shu said, “Go and raise their abilities. Remind them that they are forever under your control. Furthermore, when you see any strange creatures about to attack, kill them.”

Little Fury felt that it was being valued more than before. To be honest, it had wanted to prove himself. But the two demon kings at home were so strong that it did not have the chance to do so. Thus, it had smoked, drank and permed its hair out of depression. Now, it was its turn to shine!

Little Fury received the fruits and happily wrote on its notebook. “Gold will always shine.”

Lu Shu’s expression darkened. “Hurry up and shut your mouth. Don’t make any mischief now.”

Little Fury wrote on its notebook with an earnest expression. “I, Fury, am willing to smoke, drink and perm my hair for the Lu family!”
