Chapter 136: Lunca Gets Her Wish, Little Secret, Yin-Sha Land

~10 min read 1,900 words

Late February.

The school election began. With Nancy's help, Lunca had smoothly understood the ins and outs of it.

And by using some less-than-above-board methods, she successfully controlled several other grade representatives. As for the classmates in her class, through posturing and small cliques to win over connections, she had now successfully established a friendly image and gained the class's support.

And by radiating outward from a single point, she spread her influence through her classmates to their friends.

At the same time, she also mobilized Emma at some unknown small cost, and Emma was already the uncrowned queen of the girls in Louis's class, so naturally, she gained another batch of support.

When the election began.

Lunca became a popular candidate almost instantly.

Added to the fact that she had dressed up specially, wearing glasses and with blonde hair over her shoulders, she looked particularly intellectual. Although not as hot as other candidates, she was more suited for the position of student council president.

Especially after that woman Christina had caused so many issues, the school board had some prejudices in this regard and didn't like that kind of flashy, hot girl.

Lunca's move could be considered going against the grain.

In the Lakeview High School election, students held 70% of the voting weight, and the school board held 30%.

In the end, Lunca won with an absolute advantage of 68% of the vote, becoming the new student council president of Lakeview High School.

Standing on the stage, Lunca held flowers and smiled reservedly. Below the stage were countless teachers and students, all casting their gazes over.

Lunca enjoyed this feeling, this feeling of being the center of attention.

Especially when she saw Emma's envious gaze from the front row, she felt even better inside.

"Thank you all for electing me to..."

After a speech, Lunca officially took office as student council president.

Below.

Emma was so envious her teeth itched. She suddenly felt a bit of regret: why hadn't she gone to compete for student council president?

"Louis, tell me, is it still too late for me to go compete for president now?"

Louis, who was resting with his eyes closed beside her, rolled his eyes at the words, too lazy to answer. He tilted his head and continued to rest.

During these days, he had already perfected the highest level of the Divine Horse Movement Art and was refining the Middle Harm Demoncraft. This thing was actually somewhat like a chemical toxin; different combinations of poisonous insects and medicinal herbs could produce different effects.

This point was very interesting, so Louis spent more energy researching several Middle Harm Demoncrafts with different effects.

At the same time, he kept his eyes closed, consuming mental energy to continue calculating types in his mind. As for Emma's question, he was simply too lazy to answer.

Emma beside him curled her lips, starting to think about what she should say when she went on stage to give a speech after becoming the top student in her grade.

Very quickly, the address ended.

The scene was filled with thunderous applause.

The crowd dispersed and left, but Lunca came to the front stage from the back and arrived at Louis's side amidst many people's greetings.

She reached out toward Emma. "Interested in being vice president, Emma?"

Emma was startled, then revealed a proper smile and reached out to hold Lunca's palm. "Of course."

Lunca turned her gaze to Louis again. Louis immediately raised an eyebrow. What, are you planning to have me join the student council to be your subordinate?

"Is Student Louis interested in being an advisor to our student council? I feel that our student council's budget management regarding clubs is still too crude and needs someone to supervise it."

Louis immediately caught President Gilmore frantically winking at him.

Forget it, give the two of them some face. He yawned. "Fine."

Lunca revealed a smile.

Being able to become the student council president of Lakeview High School, as long as her academic grades didn't drag her down, Lunca was basically already aiming for a prestigious university.

And what was truly important about this position was the connections. Lunca believed that as long as she managed it well for a year or a year and a half, she would definitely have huge gains. And, once she graduated in a year and a half, she could just happen to hand the position over to Emma.

In this way, the connections she had built up could continue to be consolidated, so that people wouldn't just drift away once she left.

Louis was happy to see this happen, or rather, Lunca becoming student council president had his push behind the scenes; otherwise, the school board wouldn't have all voted for Lunca.

As his future personnel in the political or business world, Lunca naturally needed to have her path arranged. The student council president was a good opportunity to accumulate connections.

Now that Lunca was arranged properly, Louis turned his gaze to Emma.

Emma was striking a pose, asking incessantly.

"Louis, look, am I doing this right?"

"I feel like there's already a slight bit of Qi in my body." Emma rubbed her stomach, looking mysterious.

"You're just bloated."

"Really!"

"Alright, don't think about quick success. Cultivate slowly. Once you cultivate Qi, I'll teach you techniques."

"Tsk, I know. By the way, Louis, do you know? Carrie seems to be moving."

"Hmm?"

"Carrie told me. She also told Maria and Madison, and told me to tell you."

So Carrie is moving.

Louis nodded. He also felt that it was quite good for this kind and cowardly little girl to move away and stay far from their group of villains.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" Emma elbowed Louis's arm.

"Say what?"

Emma frowned. This didn't seem like Louis.

Shouldn't he go and keep Carrie here? Couldn't he see that Carrie liked him?

At this moment, Louis's phone rang.

"I'll take a call."

Very quickly, Louis returned. "I'm going out for a bit. You continue cultivating. As for Carrie's side, if you have time, go chat with her."

After saying this, he left.

Emma depressedly propped her cheek with her hand, feeling quite bored. Louis's reaction was simply too flat.

"Forget it, I'll go see Carrie."

She turned and went to Carrie's house.

As it happened, Carrie's house was already moving; a pickup truck was parked outside.

Carrie was carrying her things to the truck. There actually wasn't much stuff; this house was rented, and there wasn't much that truly belonged to her and her mother inside.

"Carrie!"

Carrie, who was moving a table, subconsciously turned to look and discovered it was Emma. Carrie felt a bit embarrassed and didn't want Emma to see what she was doing; this was the self-esteem of an adolescent girl.

Although Emma saw it, she still walked over. She didn't act sarcastically but instead lent a hand. The moment she touched the table, her eyes narrowed.

"Are you really leaving?"

"Mm."

"Where are you moving to?"

"The next block. We rented an apartment. It's not far. Emma, can I come find you in the future?"

"Sure." Unexpectedly, Emma answered this way.

Hearing this, Carrie smiled happily. "That's great, Emma. Thank you."

Emma smiled indifferently.

After chatting for a while longer, Emma glanced at Margaret, who was hiding in the corner and peeking at her, hugged Carrie, and then strolled toward her house.

Watching Emma's back, Carrie smiled foolishly until a slap landed on her head. She saw it was her mother, who was looking at her with a dark face.

"Hurry up and move."

Once they left and moved, she would forbid Carrie from having any contact with that little demon!

Right, she had to make Carrie take a bath later!

Margaret thought viciously.

Carrie could only endure the dissatisfaction in her heart and continue moving things. A table was easily lifted under her hands.

Emma, who had returned home, did not rest but secretly came to the window, quietly watching Carrie's house move things. When she saw Carrie lift another table...

Emma's eyes narrowed. "Sure enough, I didn't see wrong just now."

When she had gone over just now, she had seen that under the table Carrie was moving, her hands and the table were actually separated by a layer! She hadn't touched the table at all!

And Carrie was weak and frail; although she couldn't be called malnourished, she didn't look like a bodybuilder either. Where did she get such great strength?

Emma considered all these details with just a little observation and thought.

Now observing carefully again, she was even more convinced that she hadn't seen wrong just now.

Then, the question arose.

Why would this situation occur?

"Looks like Carrie has a secret~"

Emma smiled meaningfully.

She decided she would contact Carrie frequently, ideally becoming her best friend.

As for whether to tell Louis, after a brief hesitation, she decided to enjoy this secret alone first and give Louis a surprise one day.

Let's see what his reaction will be then.

Haha, it will definitely be interesting!

Emma smiled, made a fruit platter for herself, poured a glass of milk, and sat back on the sofa beautifully.

As for cultivation?

What she said just now was all true; that feeling was definitely not bloating!

On the other side, Louis didn't know Emma was preparing a surprise for him. He was currently being led by his driver toward a cemetery.

The reason he came to such a place was naturally to find a Yin-Sha Land.

As for small Sha lands, there were actually quite a few in America, or one could even say they were everywhere. After all, someone dying an unnatural death here and someone committing suicide there was simply too common, so Sha lands were naturally numerous.

But a Yin-Sha Land, and a large-scale Yin-Sha Land at that, was truly rare.

This cemetery was the place that best met Louis's requirements, found near Orlando after the family exerted its influence.

"The owner of this cemetery is said to have been a black farm owner and his family from a long time ago. Their life was actually quite good, but later, because his wife died accidentally, that farm owner..."

Louis had a strange expression. Black person, farm owner?

How did these two words get linked together?

"... Later, there was a rumor here that the farm owner's soul was still wandering here, and anyone who tried to occupy this place would be killed by the scarecrows he controlled."

"Young Master, this is it."

The driver stopped outside the fence.

Louis looked up. The appearance was indeed quite good: gloomy, dead trees, rotten fences, broken wooden houses, withered weeds, tombstones, vast, cold winds blowing...

A scene of utter desolation.

Any normal person who came to take a look would feel that this place was ominous.

Louis first looked at it according to his own shallow knowledge of Feng Shui, and after confirming it belonged to a Yin land, he dripped some ox-eye tears and looked over.

At a glance, that house actually had a faint glimmer of light flickering, and at the same time, Coalball, who had been very vigilant at Louis's feet, began to growl toward that broken wooden house.

Seeing this, Louis laughed.

Very good, the place was found correctly!
