Chapter 79

~14 min read 2,636 words

Celestin’s true form is the Ancient Spirit God Tree, the World Tree, so Lu Li wasn't sure if the food in Cangling City was suitable for her, or if miraculous existences like the World Tree and World Tree Spirit needed to eat.

147. Sea King Lu Li, the Heartbreaker

"The World Tree does not need to eat," Celestin shook her head, then nodded again. "However, as a Tree Spirit, I don't have too many scruples in this regard."

"That's good!" Getting Celestin’s reply, Lu Li understood. "However, before we set off, you’d better Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change into a set of clothes."

Because of Hearing Hearing Mana, Lu Li had once intended to get her a set of ordinary clothes, but because of the magic of magic power, the equipment on Hearing Hearing Mana could Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change into various styles at any Finish Finish Time, which was more convenient than fixed clothing.

Including Xiao Bai later on, her white rabbit nun robe could also use magic power to Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change into various styles of clothing, so Lu Li’s original intention eventually came to nothing.

Therefore, Lu Li didn't have any women’s clothes at home, but he felt that with Celestin’s strength, she should be able to do something similar to Hearing Hearing Mana.

Celestin’s appearance wasn't much different from an ordinary woman, but that stunning beauty and explosive figure were comparable to the Night Empress. If she went out wearing this priestess outfit, she would definitely become the focus of everyone’s attention.

Even more so than the Night Empress back then. At least in Lu Li’s view, Celestin’s priestess outfit was no different from a special combat suit.

"Clothes?" Hearing Lu Li’s reminder, Celestin looked down at her blood-pumping "attack-boosting" outfit. "You are the first person to see me in this form. Do you have any suggestions?"

"What did you say?" This Finish Finish Time, it was Lu Li’s turn to be dumbfounded. According to his thinking, he wasn't the first Magic Card Master to receive the New Moon Blessing, so logically, he shouldn't be the first Magic Card Master to come into contact with Celestin.

But now it seemed that the actual situation was different from what he had thought.

"Other Magic Card Masters who entered the New Moon Land were only focused on wanting to receive the New Moon Blessing; no one had ever thought about taking away my true form." Celestin seemed to understand Lu Li’s thoughts, gave him a big eye-roll, and said something that made him sweat. "Only you were the exception, directly setting your sights on my true form."

"Extracting memory fragments and converting the New Moon Blessing can actually be done through the Ancient Spirit God Tree, so in the past, I never appeared and just observed silently in the dark."

"Alright." Since Celestin had said so, what else could Lu Li say? He could only silently search for some clothes on his personal terminal for Celestin to refer to.

After all, he had set his sights on her true form the first Finish Finish Time they met and wanted to pack up the Ancient Spirit God Tree directly. Not to mention that Celestin, as a Tree Spirit, would have thoughts, Lu Li felt that if the Night Empress and Dream Concubine knew, they would also be dumbfounded.

A moment later, the priestess outfit on Celestin began to Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change. The overall style was still mainly white, but the snow-white skin exposed to the outside was wrapped in a layer of faint, thin gauze. This layer of gauze seemed to have special magic power; even if one stared at it, there was no way to see through the scenery under the gauze, which was very magical.

Although it was only a subtle Fallen Fallen Mode Fallen Mode Change, Celestin’s outfit no longer had the same impact as before. Compared to the attire of ordinary women, there wasn't much difference. It could be considered as changing from an "attack-boosting" outfit to a conventional one.

"Is this okay?" After doing all this, Celestin looked up and asked.

"Fine, it’s much better than before." Lu Li nodded. "Then let’s set off."

"A very strong aura of life." On the main road of Cangling City, Celestin, who was walking side by side with Lu Li, suddenly said.

"After all, there are quite a lot of people here." Lu Li replied casually. In his perception, gazes were falling on the two of them almost every moment.

Without thinking, Lu Li knew that most of these gazes were directed at Celestin. Although that perfect figure had been covered up, just by relying on her top-tier beauty, Celestin still became the focus of the whole scene the moment she appeared.

"So beautiful, so pure. I have a feeling I’m looking at a saintess."

"I feel like it’s not just a saintess; this is a real goddess!"

"The boy walking next to the goddess, why does he look a bit familiar?"

"I remember a few days ago, the person walking next to this boy was a woman full of charm. Although she wasn't as pure as this girl, I felt like I was seduced without knowing it."

"More than that, I was just saying why that boy looked familiar. That’s the first-place candidate of our Eastern Region college entrance exam this year!"

"F*ck! So the college entrance exam top scorer this year is actually a heartbreaker!"

"So what? If you also scored first in the Eastern Region college entrance exam, let alone a heartbreaker, even if you were a 'Sea King,' many people would throw themselves at you."

The whispers around him, especially the descriptions of "heartbreaker" and "Sea King," made Lu Li’s eyelids twitch.

"Lu Li? What is a 'Sea King'?" Celestin also heard the whispers around her and seemed quite interested in the so-called "Sea King."

"A 'Sea King'? That’s not a good thing. Good children shouldn't know so much." The corners of his mouth twitched, and Lu Li explained casually. He finally understood why "lemon spirits" (jealous people) were so disliked.

"Lu Li?" Not far away, a familiar voice suddenly came, and then Gu Fa’s figure appeared in his eyes.

However, when Gu Fa saw Celestin beside Lu Li, his body subconsciously tensed up, and cold sweat broke out on his back. This was the instinctive reaction of prey encountering a predator; it was a kind of crisis instinct he had honed on the battlefield.

However, since he left the battlefield, he hadn't had this instinctive reaction for a long Finish Finish Time. If he hadn't met Celestin just now, Gu Fa would have forgotten the feeling of facing a top-tier existence.

When did such a powerhouse appear in Cangling City? More importantly, her relationship with Lu Li seemed unusual!

At this moment, the shock in Gu Fa’s eyes was beyond measure.

It was a bit unexpected to run into Gu Fa at this Finish Finish Time, but taking this opportunity, Lu Li pulled Celestin and walked towards Gu Fa amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.

He was really afraid that if he stayed here any longer, the "lemon spirits" around him would burst out with some shocking remarks again. As for Celestin, who was being pulled by Lu Li, she didn't show any displeasure and just followed silently behind Lu Li, like an obedient little wife.

Seeing this scene, Gu Fa couldn't help but gasp. Lu Li and this top-tier powerhouse were actually so intimate; what kind of relationship did these two have?

F*ck! This kid has too many secrets!

"Principal, what a coincidence." In an instant, Lu Li had already pulled Celestin in front of Gu Fa.

"Lu Li, aren't you going to introduce her?" Looking at Lu Li close at hand, Gu Fa also regained his original composure, pulled him over to ask in a low voice, and intentionally or unintentionally steered the topic to Celestin.

148. This kid’s popularity with women is outrageous

Although Gu Fa deliberately lowered his voice, with Celestin’s ability, she could still hear it clearly and couldn't help but tilt her head. She could sense the other party’s vigilance towards her, but she didn't know the reason, nor did she care much.

Even if this wasn't the New Moon Land and she wasn't in her peak state, dealing with a mere Emperor-realm Magic Card Master was just a wave of the hand for Celestin.

Compared to Gu Fa’s vigilance, Celestin could feel that the other party seemed to care more about the relationship between her and Lu Li, but she couldn't understand why the other party would care so much about this relationship.

After all, you can't expect a tree to understand human relationships, even if it is a World Tree. What’s more, apart from Celestin, there were no other living beings in the entire New Moon Land. Even if she wanted to understand, she didn't have the opportunity.

"Just a friend, Principal." Coughing, Lu Li replied. His relationship with Celestin was relatively complex and magical. Even if he said it out loud, Gu Fa probably wouldn't believe it, nor would he understand.

"Is that so?" Seeing this, Gu Fa didn't ask too much. After all, powerhouses don't like to be questioned to the bottom of things. However, Celestin’s performance just now really made him a bit unsure. "Since we’ve met, let me remind you of something."

"Uh, remind me of what?" Lu Li was stunned. He didn't expect himself to be Gu Fa’s target. Did this count as delivering himself to the door?

"Remember to come back to school in a few days." Seeing Lu Li’s blank expression, Gu Fa replied angrily. "That’s when our school’s graduation ceremony is."

"Graduation ceremony? So soon?" Sensing Gu Fa’s helpless tone, Lu Li couldn't help but sweat. He had really forgotten about this.

"I knew if I didn't remind you, you would definitely forget." Shaking his head, Gu Fa looked at Lu Li with a slightly strange expression. "This year’s graduation ceremony is not early; it’s actually two days later than previous years."

"The reason for this is because of you."

What? How does this have anything to do with me? This is the first Finish Finish Time I’ve been out in so many days. Don't put everything on me, hey! Lu Li was confused by Gu Fa’s words.

"This graduation ceremony will be held jointly by our Third Middle School with the First and Second Middle Schools. At that Finish Finish Time, not only will City Lord Cang and President Yu be there, but even the Capital Lord will come in person." Speaking of this, Gu Fa was also very emotional.

The Capital Lord, who is in charge of the twelve cities of Dadu, coming in person to participate in a graduation ceremony is an event that can be recorded in the school history for any school. It is a great honor. Gu Fa didn't expect that the Third Middle School he led would actually encounter such a day.

And all of this was undoubtedly brought to their school by Lu Li. Gu Fa knew that Lu Li’s performance was excellent, but he didn't expect it to alarm the Capital Lord to come in person.

Only a very few people knew about the Night Empress coming to Cangling City. Even as the principal of the high school Lu Li attended, Gu Fa didn't know and was just passing on a message.

Therefore, he didn't know that Lu Li had become a student of the Night Empress, and Cang Cang Cang Fenghua hadn't mentioned it to him either, as this was something Cang Ao had emphasized repeatedly.

Even Yu Yu Haojia only knew about this because Cang Cang Cang Fenghua had revealed it to him in order to clean up the rats hiding in the dark in Cangling City as quickly as possible.

Therefore, Gu Fa didn't know that Cang Ao coming to Cangling City to participate in the graduation ceremony this Finish Finish Time also had the layer of the Night Empress involved.

No matter how strong the Capital Lord is, the Domain Lord is his direct superior, not to mention the talent Lu Li showed, which was indeed enough for Cang Ao to attach importance to.

Just thinking about how Zhao Chengyuan and Da Baiman had shamelessly approached him to ask for the three schools to hold the graduation ceremony together after they learned that the Capital Lord was coming, Gu Fa couldn't help but give them the middle finger.

Of course, he still felt very good about it in his heart. There weren't many opportunities to let these two beg him.

"The Capital Lord is also attending?" This was something Lu Li hadn't expected. "Hmm, then I’ll go back then."

Lu Li didn't have many thoughts about the graduation ceremony, but before leaving, he also wanted to go back and walk around, which could be considered a perfect ending to his three years of high school.

Coincidentally, Cang Cang Cang Fenghua and Yu Yu Haojia would both be there, so he wouldn't have to run to the City Lord’s Mansion and the Magic Card Association specifically.

"Just remember it." Gu Fa breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I won't disturb you anymore."

The Capital Lord coming to Cangling City must be targeting Lu Li. If he, the protagonist, didn't show up, then everyone would be very embarrassed.

Of course, the most important point was that there was a top-tier powerhouse staring from the side, and Gu Fa felt a lot of pressure, so after getting Lu Li’s reply, he decisively ran away.

Lu Li didn't think too much about this, said goodbye to Gu Fa, and left with Celestin.

"Come to think of it, this kid Lu Li’s popularity with women seems quite outrageous." Looking at the departing Lu Li and Celestin, Gu Fa shook his head silently.

But regarding the relationship between Lu Li and Celestin, Gu Fa didn't continue to guess. No matter what, that wasn't something he could guess at his current level.

For powerhouses, one must still maintain a certain amount of respect.

The encounter with Gu Fa was just a small interlude. Considering Celestin’s situation, Lu Li finally chose a vegetarian restaurant.

However, watching her silently picking at the vegetables and fruits in her bowl, Lu Li had a very strong sense of déjà vu.

A tree eating vegetables and fruits, even if the other party is a Tree Spirit, still made Lu Li not know how to complain.

After dinner, Lu Li took Celestin for a stroll around the night market in Cangling City and then returned home.

"Hmm?" Just as he entered the door, Lu Li noticed that a magic power crystal had condensed in his body. If it were in the past, Lu Li wouldn't have cared too much, but this Finish Finish Time it was different.

Under normal circumstances, it would take about two hours from activating the Crystal Technique to condensing a magic power crystal. Even if Lu Li’s level had improved, the upper limit of the magic power crystal would also increase accordingly, so the Finish Finish Time it took to condense a magic power crystal hadn't decreased or increased, but still remained within two hours.

But this Finish Finish Time, it only took a little over an hour for Lu Li to successfully condense a magic power crystal. The Finish Finish Time was shortened by nearly half. This efficiency was terrifying!

"Could it be because of Celestin?" Recalling slightly, Lu Li found that the difference could only be on this Ancient Tree Spirit.

Back in the New Moon Land, Lu Li had encountered a similar situation.
