Perhaps sensing that Lu Ming was uncomfortable, Yusaha and Lily walked over to him and asked with smiles, "What's wrong? Are you feeling resentful because others have the same toys as yours?"
"No, I'm not a child." Lu Ming, who wasn't feeling well, stubbornly insisted.
Seeing Lu Ming stubbornly persisting, Yusaha grinned mischievously and asked, "Then tell me, when will my phone unlock the next function?"
"Can you stop talking? I promise..." Lu Ming said angrily, feeling hurt once again.
But before he could finish speaking, his complaints were silenced by Yusaha's kiss.
After a long while, Yusaha's lips finally parted from Lu Ming's lips because of the dark aura emanating from Lily.
Standing up, Yusaha reached out and patted Lu Ming's head, saying with a smile, "This is a thank you gift for saving me," before returning to his room.
At that moment, Lu Ming, whose mind was blank, was forcibly pressed onto the sofa by Lily and kissed.
"You're mine! I won't allow it, and no one can take you away!" Lily finally released Lu Ming when she was a little out of breath, and made a somewhat domineering declaration.

Chapter 8 - Seeking Revenge and the Second Five Undead
In the evening, after dinner, Lu Ming walked alone on the streets of the aristocratic district. He kicked a stone away and sighed, "I was thinking that Furen was a scumbag, but before long I became a scumbag myself."
But soon after, he added, "However, if I could get both Yusaha and Lily..."
Before he could finish speaking, he shook his head violently, banishing those unrealistic ideas from his mind.
After taking a short walk, Lu Ming decided to go back to rest. He had already digested his food after the meal.
However, as soon as he turned around, he saw several armored soldiers angrily walking towards him on the way back to Yusaha's mansion.
In the fading light of the setting sun, Lu Ming could see the insignia of the Viscount Hatu family on their armor from afar. It was obvious they were there for revenge.
"Hey, hey, hey! Gentlemen, is this really necessary? We don't seem to have any deep-seated hatred for each other, do we?" As the soldiers approached him, drawing their longswords, Lu Ming took out the Sage's Candlestick and slowly retreated.
One of the soldiers, a burly man who seemed to be the leader, pointed his sword at Lu Ming and roared furiously, "You caused my young master to be executed by the lord, and now you have the nerve to spout this nonsense?!"
After roaring, he charged at Lu Ming and swung his long sword at Lu Ming's head.
This startled Lu Ming so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly used the Sage's Candlestick to forcibly block the sword.
However, although Lu Ming managed to block the soldier's deadly sword strike thanks to the sharpness and sturdiness of the Sage's Candlestick, the soldier was far stronger than Lu Ming. Even though he wasn't hit by the sword, the immense impact caused him to fall, and the Sage's Candlestick flew out of his hand.
The soldier glanced at the longsword, which was almost broken by the Sage's Candlestick, and sneered as he threw a punch at Lu Ming.
However, Lu Ming would not let him succeed.
Lu Ming rolled away, dodging the soldier's iron fist. Then he used the Fine Snow skill on him, freezing his armor and rendering him completely immobile.
At this moment, the other soldiers not far away also saw that the situation was not good, and they rushed over, wielding their long swords and attacking Lu Ming.
Lu Ming, who had no chance to pick up the Sage's Candlestick, gave a helpless bitter smile, thinking to himself that this other world was really violent!
"You forced me into this situation yourselves. If you die, don't blame me!" Knowing he was likely outnumbered, Lu Ming roared and took out his phone to upgrade the Seed Machine Gun to level 6.
"Stop talking nonsense! Prepare to die!"
"Damn it! You won't listen?" Since the other party wanted to kill him, Lu Ming wouldn't show any mercy. This was another world, not Lu Ming's original world, so Lu Ming had to abide by the laws here.
"Seed Machine Gun!" Lu Ming fired the level 6 seed machine gun, and a series of seeds, like bullets, instantly shattered the soldiers' armor and pierced their bodies! Even so, the power was not diminished, and the seeds simply pierced through the armor on their backs, flying dozens of meters before slowly landing on the ground.
Looking at the soldiers who had been shot down by his seed machine gun, some lying on the ground, others screaming in agony, Lu Ming suppressed the urge to vomit, picked up the Sage's Candlestick, and walked step by step toward the soldier leader who had been frozen in the fine snow.
“I told you, we don’t have any deep-seated hatred between us, there’s no need for this.” Slowly placing the Sage’s Candlestick against the soldier leader’s neck, Lu Ming whispered in his ear, “And now I’ll give you one more chance. Just reveal who ordered you, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise…”
Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, the soldier leader hurriedly said, "I'll talk! I'll talk!"
"who is it?"
"It's Viscount Hatu's son..."
"Whoosh!"
A crossbow bolt, flying rapidly from a distance, interrupted the soldier leader's words and ended his life.
Despite not killing anyone, Lu Ming was splattered with blood. Without hesitation, he used his seed machine gun in the direction from which the crossbow bolts were fired, unleashing a barrage of seeds.
Unfortunately, although the man was wounded by the seed machine gun and bled profusely on the ground, he unexpectedly ran away.
However, Lu Ming didn't follow the trail of blood to chase after the person. After checking the place where the person had been hiding, he couldn't hold back his nausea any longer and quickly leaned against a nearby tree, vomiting up his dinner!
"Viscount Hatu..." After vomiting everything in his stomach, Lu Ming glanced at the huge mansion of Viscount Hatu's family in the distance, snorted coldly, threw away his blood-stained clothes, and went to Yusaha's villa.
-----------------------------------
Back at the villa, Lu Ming washed his hands several times before returning to his room without uttering a single word.
Although she didn't know what had happened to Lu Ming, based on some details, Yusaha felt that he had been attacked and accidentally killed someone. At least, her first murder was similar to Lu Ming's current situation. The only difference was that Lu Ming acted in self-defense, while she was acting on her mother's orders.
Lying in bed, Lu Ming scrolled through the attributes, information, and tasks on his phone.
Compared to the Demon Rabbit, whose experience was pitifully low, the soldiers whom Lu Ming had terrified with a single shot from his level 6 seed machine gun had each gained over 100 experience points. Therefore, this revenge attack from the Viscount Hatu family directly propelled Lu Ming to level 5!
And his current attribute values have also changed.
Name: Lu Ming
Sex: Male
Race: Human (temporary)
Rating: 5
Experience required to reach the next level: 1346
Stamina: 7
Power: 8
Agility: 7
Intelligence: 13
Spirit: 10
Mana: 67
System evaluation: A reasonably capable magic apprentice.
"67 mana points, not bad! That's a few more chances to cast Seed Gun."
After reviewing the properties panel, Lu Ming clicked on the information panel, which indicated that there was already information available.
Congratulations on obtaining the achievement: [Adventurer's Journey], you have gained 1 skill point and 1 costume lottery ticket.
"So, you didn't gain any skill points, but you didn't lose any either? Anyway, a level 6 seed machine gun isn't bad. At least... never mind, I'd better not think about it anymore." With a wry smile, Lu Ming suppressed his discomfort and used the newly acquired clothing lottery ticket.
"What the heck? Women's clothing! Holy crap! Are you kidding me?!" Perhaps not noticing that Plu's PS was no longer mentioned in the description of the clothing lottery ticket, Lu Ming, whose luck wasn't exactly good, got a women's outfit called [Holy Feather] consisting of a white dress, socks, and shoes!
Speechless, Lu Ming closed the inventory and then opened the quest log, which revealed an even bigger problem.
At this point, besides the main quest, Lu Ming had a new side quest called "Hatu's Gaze," which required him to find the person who had ordered the group of soldiers. However, Lu Ming would complete this quest regardless. After all, he didn't want someone constantly watching him, ready to stab him at any moment.
When he checked the main quest "The Hidden Undead", he was suddenly shocked to find that the number of undead he had found had changed to 2.5!
"What the hell?! Why is there a 2.5?!" Lu Ming, who was shocked that the information system had such a quirk, exclaimed in surprise. He shook his phone vigorously, trying to get it back to normal. Unfortunately, no matter what Lu Ming did, the 2.5 didn't change into a 3 or a 2.
Once Lu Ming calmed down, he began to carefully consider what this damn 2.5 was all about.
“When I left home, the mission was still 2, not 2.5. And along the way, apart from those seeking revenge, I didn’t encounter a single person. If it were one of them, then the mission objective couldn’t be 2.5 immortals. So there’s only one possibility: the third immortal is the guy who killed me to cover it up. Because I didn’t see his face, I only spotted him, so the system only counted it as finding half an immortal.” Getting off the bed, Lu Ming paced back and forth by the window, deep in thought.
"So, this side quest is almost identical to the main quest, and in the end, we both have to go and cause trouble for the Hatu family? How troublesome!" Thinking of this, Lu Ming stopped in his tracks, looked at the moon outside the window, and carefully conceived a plan in his mind.
Just as Lu Ming stood by the window in the moonlight, pondering how to deal with Viscount Hatu and his family's subsequent malice, the man in black who was responsible for tracking and monitoring Lu Ming was reporting to Countess Luianali everything that Lu Ming had just encountered.
"You mean, Hatu's men were defeated by that Lu Ming?"
"Yes, Your Excellency. It's just that the magic Lu Ming used was rather strange. Because I was far away at the time, I only saw him spray some seed-like things at those people with his mouth, and they all collapsed. Two of them even died on the spot! However, I don't know what kind of magic it was."
"Seeds? He's not a tree, how could he have seeds?"
"By the way, when he dealt with the first person, he also exhaled a chilling breath that froze the man's armor!"
“The chill, the seeds, the connection with the tree spirits, and the Cold Valley—a place I’ve never heard of before. This Lu Ming is truly shrouded in mystery!” The Countess chuckled coldly, then looked at the man in black and ordered, “Continue to monitor him. Don’t make any more mistakes! Otherwise, I’ll hang you!”
"Yes! I understand!" In a state of near-despair and fear, the man in black bowed and left very quickly.
After he left, the countess gently tapped the table, summoned another man in black, and said coldly, "Find out who the man was who was injured by Lu Ming but still managed to escape. If you find him, kill him!"
"Yes! Lord Earl!"
"Before you investigate this matter, go to Hax and tell him that I'm disappointed by his concern for Yusaha. Nobles don't need kinship!"
The man in black paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, I understand, Your Excellency. I will pass on your message to Lord Hax!"

Chapter 9 - Hatu and the Soul-Sucking Demon (Seeking Recommendations)
"Sacred Feather: A long skirt dyed with Lugia feather powder."
Fearing the coming of the Deep Sea Age, Aldridge crafted this long dress from feathers offered by an unknown cultist from Lugia, the legendary sea god with the power to suppress the ocean, hoping it would avert its arrival. Unfortunately...
It has a strengthening effect on water and flight spells.
-----------------------------------
The morning after Lu Ming was inexplicably attacked by Hatu's men, Lu Ming's adjutant, Kailar, came to Yusaha's residence to talk to Lu Ming.
"Sheriff, last night Viscount Hatu came to the police station to report that you attacked his residence and attempted to kill him. Although you failed, you killed many of his guards. Did you really go to Viscount Hatu's residence yesterday?"
Upon hearing Kylar's question, Lu Ming slammed his fist on the table in anger and roared, "I attacked him? It was his men who attacked me, okay?!"
Kylar paused for a moment, then asked, "Then why didn't you report it to the police? You should have trusted that the lord would give you an explanation! Instead of hiding it like this!"
Lu Ming didn't speak, he just sat there, looking at Kailar. The unsettling gaze made Kailar gradually feel guilty, but he pretended to be calm, not daring to show the slightest bit of guilt, because he was the one questioning Lu Ming, not the one interrogating him.
"I understand." After a long while, Lu Ming suddenly laughed and said to Kailar, "I will report this to the police now. I am reporting that our Viscount Hatu is suspected of harboring wandering spirits, attacking sheriffs, protecting demon followers, preparing to spread the plague, and attempting to assassinate our lord, etc., etc., etc."
"You're framing me!" For some reason, Kelal suddenly roared.
"Then isn't he framing me?! Yesterday, while I was taking a walk, their guards attacked me for no reason. I was just acting in self-defense! And! I had someone report it to the police station yesterday! Who the hell told you I didn't report it?!" Growing up in an era of rule of law, how could Lu Ming not know the importance of reporting the incident first? He had already decided how to deal with Viscount Hatu yesterday and had Yusaha personally go to the police station. So, what Kailar said about not reporting it was just empty talk.
Completely stunned by Lu Ming's words, Kylar stared blankly at him. After a moment, he immediately stood up, bowed to Lu Ming, and said, "I am very sorry, Your Excellency! I did not review the case files before I arrived, which is why this oversight occurred. Please punish me!"
