Chapter 151: Entanglement Before Parting

"Junior apprentice, this time being able to successfully collect the debt is all thanks to your effort; I don't want the Dark Energy."

"Senior apprentice, don't be modest; if you say twenty percent, it's twenty percent—take it."

"Lu Xun forcibly stuffed the Dark Energy into Jin Yuhua."

"After successfully collecting the debt, Jin Yuhua did not intend to take the Dark Energy."

"However, he did put in effort after all; how could Lu Xun be so stingy?"

"\"Xun Ge is awesome! \""

"\"Xun Ge, well done; it's about time we crushed the prestige of Wanliu Academy like this. \""

"When Lu Xun returned to school, he garnered many admiring gazes."

"When Lu Xun previously won the ultimate prize in the secret realm examination, his prestige at Beidou University had already reached an unsurpassable level."

"This time Lu Xun went to Wanliu Academy to set up a challenge platform, beating the Wanliu Academy students until they howled in pain, with not a single one able to fight back."

"Such behavior was even more to the taste of many students at Beidou University."

"The students of Wanliu Academy have always been rather arrogant."

"But these students, relying on their wealth, are often not weak either; moreover, no one has ever beaten Wanliu Academy as badly as Lu Xun did."

"The Dark Energy in Lu Xun's hands became abundant once again."

"He planned to spend a few more days refining pills, then use these pills at auction to exchange for more Dark Energy."

"The secret realm examination has ended; even second- and third-grade saint-grade pills, even if sold at auction, are hard to fetch their former high prices."

"Therefore, Lu Xun prepares to refine saint-grade pills of fourth grade or higher."

"Lan Xing is about to enter the Dark Universe and embark on the Starry Ancient Road."

"At this point in time, saint-grade pills of fourth grade or higher will surely sell very well."

"\"How come you're here? So you've signed a contract with him? \""

"That night, Babala suddenly awoke."

"Upon discovering Aodaili in Lu Xun's dormitory, Babala immediately had a suspicion."

"\"Ah... Princess Babala, wonderful, you've finally awakened. \""

"Aodaili was overjoyed."

"\"Yes, Princess Babala, I have already signed a contract with him; if you don't believe me, you can ask him. \""

"After the cheers, Aodaili hurriedly got down to business."

"She also knew that Babala's awakening time is limited each time, so they must seize the moment."

"Babala padded on catlike steps, walking between Lu Xun and Aodaili; with a flick of her paw, a ball of light appeared out of thin air on her tiny claw."

"Under the illumination of that ball of light, everything around became transparent."

"Lu Xun saw that, between him and Aodaili, countless transparent threads seemed to be connected, giving a feeling of myriad threads."

"This must be the contract's connection, right?"

"\"Not bad. \""

"Babala retracted her paw, and that ball of light also vanished."

"\"I'll first give you one-third of the Magic Grimoire; after you break through the Six Realms, I'll give you the remaining third. \""

"Babala opened her mouth and spat out another ball of light."

"Seeing this, Aodaili hurriedly drew that ball of light over and into her own mind."

"That ball of light contained a large amount of magical information."

"\"As for the meditation method, he has already taught it to you, so I don't need to teach you again. \""

"\"Princess Babala, what about the spell? \""

"\"You already know one, don't you? As for the others, if you want them, you can learn from him. \""

"\"Alright, Princess Babala. \""

"Aodaili had no objection."

"\"Some spells are exclusive; the more people who know them, the weaker they become, so don't spread them. \""

"Babala added."

"\"Princess Babala, rest assured, I won't tell anyone. \""

"Aodaili guaranteed."

"After Babala lazily yawned, she said no more."

"She actually had quite a bit she wanted to say to Lu Xun, but in front of Aodaili, Babala needed to stay aloof."

"Not long after, the liveliness vanished from her face, and she turned back into a little white."

"Aodaili successfully obtained what she wanted."

"She did not rush to leave Lu Xun's dormitory; first, she hadn't finished digesting her gains, and second, she wanted Lu Xun to teach her a spell or two."

"But in fact, Lu Xun only knows a total of three spells."

"\"Lu, teach me the dispelling spell, so that in the future when someone casts a spell on me, I won't have to worry. \""

"Aodaili clung to Lu Xun and wouldn't let go."

"Lu Xun thought for a moment, then taught her the dispelling spell."

"\"You're wonderful, Lu! \""

"Having obtained the dispelling spell, Aodaili hugged Lu Xun and gave him a heavy kiss."

"After the kiss, she only then realized what she had just done, and her fair face instantly flushed red."

"She still did not rush to leave, continuing to stay in Lu Xun's dormitory."

"As for Lu Xun, he was meanwhile busy refining pills with his head down."

Every afternoon, he would also go to the girls' dormitory to see if Murong Wan had returned.

"The day-night cycle is too frequent."

Lan Xing has continued to accelerate, and its rotational speed has also increased imperceptibly, so a day now has only a dozen-odd hours, turning what used to be two days into three, making the day-night cycle much more frequent.

This also foretells that Lan Xing is about to enter the dark universe.

On Lan Xing, many people's schedules have been disrupted because of this, and many others are worried about it.

Every time Lan Xing enters the Star Ancient Road, many people die.

Although in recent years, as Lan Xing's strength has grown, fewer and fewer people have died, this 'few' is only relative.

A few years ago, in that incident, just the Eastern region alone saw millions of deaths.

People will only pay more attention to matters that directly concern them.

In the face of major events concerning the entire Lan Xing, many things seem trivial.

As a result, Lu Xun's heaven-defying performance in this secret realm examination still didn't go viral.

Lu Xun's solo challenge against Myriad Willows Academy this time also only spread among the student circle.

And if it were like previous years, Lu Xun would at least have made it onto a national hot search.

"Who?"

In the deep night, moonlight seeped through the gaps in the curtains; Lu Xun, half-asleep, faintly felt the mattress sink slightly as a warm, soft body drew close.

"Aodaili?"

Lu Xun blinked his sleepy eyes open, and the sight that met him was Aodaili's face right before him.

She lay on her side beside him, moonlight plating her golden hair with silver, her sapphire‑like eyes brimming with his reflection, glimmering faintly in the dark.

"Lu, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Aodaili's voice was softer than usual, and her gaze grew unusually tender.

She was preparing to return to the West.

The other Western students had already gone back more than ten days earlier.

If she didn't go back, the teacher would surely suspect something.

"I'll see you off tomorrow."

Lu Xun's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up.

No matter how you put it, we're already bound; we've even become intimate, so seeing her off is only proper.

Aodaili suddenly propped herself up, her hair falling across Lu Xun's cheek, sending a tingling sensation.

"Lu, after I leave.... will you miss me?"

Aodaili stared at Lu Xun with a burning gaze and asked.

As she spoke, her fingertips unconsciously clutched the sheet, which in the moonlight took on a pearl‑like sheen.

"Of course."

Lu Xun gave a two‑character reply.

That's why they say Eastern culture is vast and profound.

"Of course" is neither an affirmation nor a denial.

It can be taken as "Of course will" or "Of course won't".

Aodaili clearly didn't grasp the ambiguity; she clearly thought Lu Xun meant "Of course will".

"Lu, I'll miss you too!"

Her eyes lit up instantly, like a star being switched on.

At the moment of impending parting, a strong sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

She had come this time for Barbara.

When Barbara put forward her conditions, Aodaili's heart was initially extremely resistant.

After all, that was her most precious virginity.

In the course of gradually getting to know Lu Xun, she discovered his charm, and her resistance weakened.

Moreover, after the secret realm underwent a major change, under the threat of Blood Dark, Aodaili found a reason to convince herself, gave up her virginity, and thereby signed a contract with Lu Xun, fulfilling Barbara's demand.

At that point, Aodaili still regarded this intimate encounter as a transaction.

However, over the next few days of getting along, Aodaili herself didn't notice that Lu Xun's image had slowly taken root in her heart.

And during the days she stayed in Lu Xun's dormitory, her fondness for him kept growing.

Especially after Lu Xun readily gave her a meditation method, she thought he was exceptionally graceful.

She grew ever more curious about Lu Xun, and curiosity is often the seed of love.

After all, the time was too short for Aodaili to say she had fallen in love with Lu Xun.

But tonight, she was clearly somewhat moved.

Thinking that she would have to leave tomorrow, the Western beauty who had already given her virginity to Lu Xun bit her lip and made a resolute decision.

She... actively pressed her lips to Lu Xun's.

After this parting, they will be separated by tens of thousands of miles, and no one knows when they will meet again.

So Aodaili wanted to give herself—and Lu Xun—an unforgettable night.

Moonlight like water traced their outlines in a hazy, entwining manner.

Aodaili's kiss was inexperienced yet fervent, tinged with a hint of resolve, as if she wanted to pour all her unspoken feelings into this moment.

Lu Xun blinked in surprise, then took the initiative, his hand sliding to the back of her slender neck to deepen the kiss.

Her skin glowed with a pearl‑like sheen in the moonlight, her breathing grew ragged, and her fingertips unconsciously clenched the sheet.

Lu Xun's kiss moved from her lips to her ear: "Aodaili, are you sure?"

She did not answer, only using action to show everything—her slender arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer.

At this moment, reason was flung to the heavens, leaving only the most primal longing and attachment.

Outside the window, the night breeze gently brushed the treetops, making a rustling sound, as if playing a private melody for this joy before the parting.

Aodaili closed her eyes, allowing herself to sink into this fleeting warmth.

Clothing slipped away, body heat mingled, moonlight bore witness to this silent farewell.

Her fingertips traced his back, leaving faint red marks, as if to remember every inch of his contour.

Lu Xun's movements were gentle yet forceful; each touch made her tremble incessantly.

"Remember me……" she whispered in the gaps of her emotion, her voice broken and soft.

Lu Xun did not answer, only sealing her lips with a more fervent kiss, using action instead of words—this night, destined to be etched into memory.
