Chapter 519: Binding Barbara

So fast.

In just a few minutes, Lu Xun felt as if he had crossed hundreds of millions of light‑years and appeared in a new star system.

No, it's not a star system, but still a nebula.

All the ancient route nodes are basically within the nebula.

At least, all the ancient route nodes that Lan Xing has passed through in the past few decades are without exception.

The location of the star gate remains extremely hidden, not easy to discover.

After Lu Xun exited the star gate, this star gate dimmed again.

Such rich dark energy.

The dark energy in this spirit realm is exceptionally rich; it must be a spirit realm of an extremely high rank.

After looking around, Lu Xun released Barbara.

Although only a few minutes have passed, in fact he is now who knows how many hundred‑thousands of light‑years away from the witch.

At such a distance, the effect of the curse naturally diminishes.

So, Lu Xun immediately used a spell‑breaking technique.

As soon as the spell‑breaking technique was cast, the little cat that Barbara had turned into underwent a change.

In a short time, Barbara changed from a little cat back into that adorable cat‑eared girl with a pair of cat ears and a fluffy tail.

You actually managed to capture her!

After turning back into a cat‑eared girl, Barbara put on the clothes Lu Xun gave her and looked at him in amazement.

She never expected that Lu Xun would actually deal with the witch.

Hmm, but she refuses to say how to break the curse.

Lu Xun said.

Her mind isn't quite normal; she definitely won't tell you, and even if you killed she wouldn't cooperate.

Barbara knows the witch quite well.

Indeed, the one who knows a person best is their opponent.

Since you've already found the star gate, the rest is easy: as long as I can return to Astra Star in the shortest time, I should be able to find a way to lift the curse.

Barbara said.

Using the star gate to distance herself from the witch only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

Because even if the witch isn't there, when the time comes the third curse will still take her life.

Just distancing herself from the witch makes the witch unable to notice, allowing the first and second curses to be resolved.

Only the third curse is truly deadly.

Barbara's original idea was to find the star gate and then return to Astra Star.

Are you leaving?

Well, come with me. It's been so long that Astra Star might have become a second‑rank spirit star by now. I can swear on my Dao heart that once I become king I will never let you down.

Barbara raised her hand and swore.

No, Lan Xing still needs me.

Lu Xun shook his head.

He has no intention of leaving.

Then he took out a spatial bag: "Inside are 200,000 cubic units of dark energy and a flying boat; that should be enough for you to return to Astra Star."

That works too.

Barbara is someone Lu Xun met when he was weak.

Along the way, Barbara has repeatedly helped Lu Xun escape danger.

Even if he can't bind her, helping her return to Astra Star is something Lu Xun is willing to do.

But Lu Xun still intends to bind her.

Barbara's favor toward Lu Xun has already reached 100%; when she leaves, if Lu Xun asks for another kiss, he can bind her.

You really won't come with me?

Barbara suddenly felt a bit reluctant.

Having stayed by Lu Xun's side for so long, she has already grown attached to him.

But she must return to Astra Star.

Not only to resolve the curse placed by the witch,

but also for the throne of Astra Star.

Well, I still have many things left to handle.

Lu Xun said again.

Alright.

Barbara stepped forward and gently embraced Lu Xun.

Her petite stature makes her the most adorable height difference when she stands before Lu Xun.

I will miss you...

Then she tiptoed and gave Lu Xun a kiss.

【Binding conditions met, bind Barbara?】

At that very moment, the system prompt appeared.

Yes.

Since it can be bound, it was naturally bound.

【Meets binding conditions, already bound Barbara】

【Current return multiplier: 80】

【Reminder: Host has binding reward that can be claimed.】
