We agreed to seek enlightenment together, but how did you end up seeking enlightenment for my mother

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, Xu Zhou quickly closed his eyes. However, the monster's true form did not appear as he had expected, and all he could see was darkness.

Not this either?

How is that possible!

Is it because my sanity level isn't low enough?

"No! I vaguely sensed its presence when I lost 30 sanity points before; losing 40 points should be more than enough to detect it!"

But why can't I find it anywhere?

"Hey, you little punk! Give me your hand!"

The wind whistled past his ears as Xu Zhou's senses gradually returned. He suddenly realized that he was in freefall, and Wu Lulu was reaching out in mid-air, trying to grab him.

Xu Zhou instinctively spread his arms to slow his descent by using the wind resistance. Wu Lulu lunged forward and passed her arms through his sides. Just as the two were about to embrace, he saw it.

In the other person's clear eyes, his own silhouette was reflected, as well as a pitch-black figure like condensed black mist.

The ghost resembled a human, with features drawn in a scribbled manner using a white crayon, the brushstrokes violent and the lines distorted, outlining a hideous and terrifying eerie smile.

Xu Zhou smiled too, a smile of relief.

"It seems Lady Luck is finally on my side."

The answer was revealed by his innate abilities when he witnessed the ghostly appearance.

There is no need to run away; victory is assured in battle!

Xu Zhou raised his hand, hugged the back of Wu Lulu's head, his fingertips running through her soft hair, and pressed their foreheads together.

Skin to skin, warm breaths mingling in the air, heartbeats creating a double symphony.

"You want to—"

"Quiet."

"Waaah..."

[Currently absorbing the essence of the relic, "Thousand-Eyed Soul-Stealing Demon Eye," energy conversion is ongoing, and current reserves are gradually increasing.]

Xu Zhou saw the ghost writhing in agony, charging around trying to escape.

However, since both of them were in mid-air, it seemed to have lost its transferable carrier and could only be absorbed and transformed by Xu Zhou.

All of this happened very suddenly, and what played a decisive role was Wu Lulu's decisive jump and the terrifying length of time she remained airborne afterward.

Holding Xu Zhou in his arms, he achieved a levitation lasting fifteen seconds with just a spontaneous leap, which clearly involved supernatural powers or talent.

But it must be said, the kid is really strong, really strong.

[The reserves for "Rotten Wood Blossoms" are full, meeting the conditions for active activation. Please make your choice as soon as possible.]

Boom!

Wu Lulu curled her legs slightly and landed lightly on the ground, immediately looking at Xu Zhou.

"What's going on! Where's the monster?"

"It's over. It was a monster that could drain people's sanity, and I've already destroyed it."

Without providing details, and since Xu Zhou himself couldn't explain the nature of these ghosts, he simply gave the result.

After hearing this, Wu Lulu breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest, her expression softening slightly.

"Thank goodness you're here! Looks like I'm actually quite lucky. If Wu Lulu had encountered this kind of monster alone, she probably would have been..."

She was about to say a few words of praise when she suddenly remembered something, pouted, and kicked him.

This kick was naturally delivered with restraint, only causing the person to spin two and a half times in mid-air, just enough to cause severe pain but not enough to cause internal injury.

"snort!"

Wu Lulu crossed her arms, turned her head arrogantly, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

As for Xu Zhou himself, he estimated the height and distance of the two people's jump in his mind and finally concluded that the time that would theoretically take four seconds to land had been extended by nearly four times.

The birdsong and insect chirps gradually became clearer, and the gentle breeze in the forest returned to my ears. The strange feeling that seemed to be wrapped around my body slowly faded away, which meant that Wu Lulu had withdrawn her power.

Xu Zhou stood up, gently brushed away the fallen leaves, and tightened the drawstring of his robe.

Then he prostrated himself on the ground.

"I'm so sorry, but I really didn't mean to!"

An apology should be sincere and taken seriously.

There is no such thing as taking advantage of someone and then taking it for granted. Xu Zhou's upbringing did not allow him to be arrogant in front of innocent people.

Moreover, the opponent was a fiercely angry war wolf.

If this situation isn't handled properly, it could be life-threatening.

Wu Lulu clearly hadn't expected Xu Zhou to be so upright. In her eyes, Xu Zhou was still in a state of chaotic superposition of the three labels: "sexual," "perverted," and "eloquent." The addition of these positive labels immediately elevated his image in her mind.

But one thing at a time, her subconscious told her that she had to get an explanation right now, otherwise she would definitely suffer a great loss in the future and be taken advantage of.

"I really need to control you better," Wu Lulu said coldly. "Was that intentional or accidental just now?"

"It's alright, I just happen to be good at dealing with these kinds of weird things."

Xu Zhou gave an irrelevant answer, pretending not to understand the other person's subtext.

Wu Lulu's mind was no longer on the ghosts. For her, encountering a crisis was nothing out of the ordinary, and once the battle was over, she would decisively put it behind her and never let it affect her mindset.

Now that the enemy has been confirmed to be gone, it's time to hold our teammates accountable.

She walked up to Xu Zhou with cat-like steps, crossed her arms and stood proudly, looking down at him.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Xu Zhou didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and scratch his head helplessly.

Seeing that she had the upper hand, Wu Lulu's mischievous nature resurfaced, and her expression gradually became unrestrained and smug.

"Hey there, little fish, is this your first time touching a girl's body?"

Wu Lulu squatted down, picked up a twig and gently poked Xu Zhou's chest, covering her mouth with one hand and grinning mischievously.

"You should really thank Wu Lulu, after all, only someone as kind as me would tolerate the offense of a perverted nobody~"

As he spoke, he began pinching Xu Zhou's cheeks again.

Xu Zhou knew he was in the wrong, so he held back.

Sure enough, Wu Lulu's dictionary did not contain the word "go with the flow," and she became increasingly demanding.

The wolf girl deftly untied the knot in her left ankle boot, and her small feet, encased in black stockings, peeked out. The delicate cotton stockings, upon contact with the cold air, instantly created a hazy mist.

Xu Zhou stood there, stunned, staring blankly, completely unable to fathom the other person's thoughts.

Then Wu Lulu stood up, sticking out her toes, which nimbly hooked and curled up. She put her hands on her hips and smiled mischievously, looking arrogantly as if she had him completely under her thumb.

"Hey little fish, you choose~ Do you want to bark like a big dog or a little dog, or get your back stomped on?"

Xu Zhou: ? ? ?

What is this woman saying?

The barking of a dog is understandable, it might be a bit vengeful, but what kind of game is stepping on its back?

While Xu Zhou was still in a daze, Wu Lulu's tail spun happily as she said matter-of-factly:

"Don't you dare say Wu Lulu is greedy. You know, I gave you the choice, okay?"

Xu Zhou was speechless after hearing these words. You've said both good and bad things!

What is the essential difference between plagiarizing scientific research results and copying other people's works?

Seeing that the other party was still arrogant, Xu Zhou suddenly felt the urge of an elder to discipline a brat, and made up his mind to let this ignorant wolf cub experience firsthand what it means to go too far.

So Xu Zhou reached out and gently supported Wu Lulu's slender feet.

The socks were silky smooth and soft to the touch, and a warm sensation spread from her fingertips. The other person instinctively pulled back her small foot the moment they made contact, but quickly stepped into Xu Zhou's palm.

"Oh? You don't want to choose either, but instead want to kiss my feet? Well, fine!"

Wu Lulu tried to maintain a calm expression, but her drooping wolf ears betrayed her inner tension, and she had already started rambling incoherently.

Its tail behind it was stiffly waving back and forth, no longer displaying the excited, propeller-like behavior it had shown earlier.

"Come on, submit to me, remember my scent with your body, so that you'll drool whenever you see Wu Lulu~"

Xu Zhou: ? ? ?

Is this human language?

Who's the real pervert here?!
