Chapter 68: Everything Can Be Broken, Everything Can Be Solved

Yu Chunlan did not believe she would be refused.

Her life had been smooth sailing, and there was little she could not obtain.

It was as if this world favored her immensely; as long as she was sincere enough, moved them with emotion, and reasoned with them, even the coldest and most rigid people would be persuaded by her.

Therefore, Yu Chunlan was very confident that she would definitely be able to secure the Mermaid Egg! Although the Mermaid Egg's vitality was weak and it looked difficult to hatch, she had her own treasures, so there would certainly be no problem.

Unfortunately, Yu Chunlan had no idea that ever since Lu Ren opened the second section of the mall, the system's Child of Luck search had brought about an extremely useful function.

For instance, right now, in Lu Ren's eyes, Yu Chunlan had several bright, glaring characters floating above her head.

【Spirit Spring Space Heroine Yu Chunlan】

Furthermore, those few who were secretly peeking and prying were all exposed by the large characters above their heads.

【Reborn Revenge Hero Yu Yangyan】

【Running Away with the Bun Demon Race Delicate Wife Heroine Yan Yan】

【Good-for-Nothing Counterattack Hero Fu Hong】

And that Dantai Jingcheng who had long since fled, his accompanying tag was 【Technology Cultivation Hero Dantai Jingcheng】.

What a truly exhilarating gathering of protagonists.

These people had no idea that they had long since been exposed in Lu Ren's eyes.

One by one, they were hiding or lurking, and there was even one who was making empty threats with absolute certainty.

Lu Ren looked at Yu Chunlan standing before him with amusement, his eyes deep and profound, as if they were an ancient well without a ripple.

Spirit Spring Space...

If it was that thing he knew of, then he had truly struck it rich.

A self-contained entity, like a small world, with a natural spirit spring to cleanse the marrow and cut the meridians, and clear rules within—such an opportunity was simply heaven-defying.

Yet, it had fallen into the hands of someone who could not read the room, could not distinguish the situation, and could only traverse the cultivation world by relying on a bit of greed and the favor of the Heavenly Dao.

The warmth in Lu Ren's eyes gradually faded.

He said coldly, "Whatever I want, you will offer up with both hands?"

"Then what if I want your entire net worth, and I also want you to swear a Great Dao Oath?"

Yu Chunlan's expression changed.

She retreated vigilantly and scolded angrily, "Impossible!"

"Lu Family Head, it is better not to be too greedy as a person!"

Looking at Lu Ren's indifferent face, a sudden sense of unease surged in Yu Chunlan's heart.

Why had this person not fallen at her feet?

In the past, as long as she stood on the side of righteousness and spoke, let alone trading, those people would be eager to give her things directly, just because they admired her and wanted to form a good connection.

What was wrong today? Why was Lu Ren's reaction so wrong!

Yet she did not expect that the second after Yu Chunlan finished this sentence, she felt a roaring, angry wind slapping toward her face!

Even though she was shocked and wanted to dodge, it was already too late, and she took this palm strike head-on.

*Puff. *

Yu Chunlan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her body slamming heavily onto the collapsed ruins, feeling as if her internal organs had all shifted positions.

But before she could even raise her head in shock and anger, she felt her head being stepped into the ground, her face pressed firmly against the filthy dirt.

The string in Yu Chunlan's mind snapped all at once.

She had never suffered such great humiliation! She struggled to resist...

It was unsuccessful.

Lu Yi—that is, the female auctioneer—brushed her fingers across Yu Chunlan's waist.

The Storage Bag hanging tightly on Yu Chunlan's waist instantly ended up in Lu Yi's hand.

"You dare!" Yu Chunlan suppressed the urge to vomit blood and screamed with hatred.

"Give it back to me! A grand Lu Family, has it now fallen to robbing female cultivators to make a living!"

"Shameless! Scum! Disgusting!"

She was furious and cursing, but just as the words emerged, she felt the foot stepping on her move away.

Replacing it, Lu Yi grabbed her hair, neatly and efficiently dislocated her jaw, and then slid the storage ring off her hand.

Yu Chunlan was shocked, unable to understand why the many defensive treasures on her body had not worked.

And after taking the items in plain sight, Lu Yi returned to her calm and detached appearance, smiling lightly: "This young lady, it is better to weigh your words carefully in the future. Given your status, you should always have a scale in your heart regarding what should and should not be said. These things shall count as your tuition fee."

"Offending my Lu Family Head and coveting my Lu Family's treasures should have been a dead end, but considering you are a first-time offender, I will let you go; it can be considered accumulating virtue and doing good deeds."

Lu Yi smiled gently.

Although she said this, she did not quite understand it in her heart.

Why did the Family Head hint that she should not kill this person? However... since the Family Head had already decided this, she would certainly not go against the Family Head's orders.

The onlookers nearby, however, felt a chill.

Accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.

Are the Lu Family members worthy of saying these two words? Yu Chunlan's eyes were pitiful as she looked at the people around her, hoping someone would stand up for her, but unexpectedly, one by one, they all immediately looked away.

A joke.

They were not fools; why would they offend the Lu Family for the sake of an unknown female cultivator? Furthermore, hadn't the Lu Family's style of conduct always been like this?

Someone looked at Yu Chunlan with pity; this miscellaneous cultivator from who knows where deserved to have her corpse crushed and fed to dogs just for the few sentences she had just cursed.

Lu Yi was truly becoming more and more gentle.

Yu Chunlan:...

If she knew someone had called Lu Yi gentle, the blood she had forcibly swallowed would surely have been spat back out.

But she was not having an easy time either; she miserably wiped the blood from her mouth, glared at Lu Ren and Lu Yi with eyes full of hatred, and spat out a harsh threat:

"I will remember today's humiliation."

"One day, I will surely return it a hundredfold!"

Having said that, she pulled a Ten-Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman from who knows where, tore through the void, and fled.

A silence fell over the scene.

Someone rubbed their round head, genuinely bewildered, their face full of shock and confusion.

"Could this woman have had her brain damaged from being beaten just now?"

If you're going to run for your life, just run; why bother with the harsh threats?

It's as if she's afraid of living too long and afraid that no one will notice her.

Although Lu Ren had thought about what a so-called protagonist would be like, every time he faced one, he still felt it was a bit brain-dead.

He rubbed his chin, suddenly looked at Lu Yi, and asked: "Has the Protective Clan Array been turned off?"

Lu Yi was stunned, then smiled.

She folded her hands over her lower abdomen, looking relaxed and dignified, yet the words she spoke carried a sense of watching a good show.

"Naturally... it has not."

If one were to go to the edge of Wanren City right now, one could catch them one by one with absolute certainty.

That would truly be interesting.

However, cast a long line to catch a big fish.

Lu Ren was determined to obtain the Spirit Spring Space in Yu Chunlan's hands.

He made a gesture, and Lu Yi understood; she immediately curtsied and hurried back to the Lu Family to shut down the array.

If these Children of Luck were all trapped in Wanren City, there would be no way to farm Qi Luck Value or fleece them of their wool.

Lu Ren put his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Xiu and Feng Wuyou, who were not far from him.

"Let's go, follow me back to the Lu Family."

Lin Xiu's mouth twitched, and with a dejected look, he let Qu Guan push him forward.

Things had reached this point; he could only take it one step at a time.

In any case, it wouldn't be worse than being killed by that Long Tian'ao.

He lowered his head to look at his pale wrists.

Although he was still incomparably weak and devoid of Qi energy, feeling like an ordinary person, he no longer had that burning anxiety that the situation was lost and his life was nearing its end.

It seemed...

As long as Second Brother was there.

All things could be broken.

All laws could be solved.
