There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 169 The Big Plane Crash

Chapter 169 The Great Crash

Lu Ren knew that his master could help him suppress the backlash from lust to some extent, but it was not stable, and his master was currently too exhausted.

Although she kept telling him that everything was fine, he still wanted to leave as soon as possible. Now that the young lady had brought it up herself, he was naturally more than happy to oblige.

"Young Miss, I'm going to deal with the backlash from this. What are you doing following me?"

Shen Yaoxing said righteously, "The price you paid is something you can't afford to pay alone, can you?"

Lu Ren wanted to say to Miss, "Who are you underestimating? In my previous life, I was a single man for over 30 years. I was already an experienced captain and, according to custom, I would have been promoted to Grand Magus long ago."

"Besides, you know what the backlash I'm going to incur is, Miss. I can handle it all by myself."

"We're teammates. If you have any needs, how can I, as the captain, ignore you?"

"Shouldn't we just leave it alone at a time like this?!"

Shen Yaoxing pressed one hand to her chest, speaking righteously, "No way! You're my servant, and a teammate I personally chose. If I don't take care of you, who will?"

"No matter who you are, you shouldn't be bothering me right now!"

The two masters and servants began to struggle on the shore, while the onlookers looked puzzled, but from the snippets of conversation they could glean some meaning of price and backlash—oh, that's how it is!

The reason this boy is so strong is because he possesses a talent that comes at a heavy price.

This is normal; the greater the power in this world, the more severe the cost!

The young lady of the Shen family was planning to help him share the consequences of his actions, but the young man refused firmly, saying that he would bear the burden alone.

What a fine young man!

What a fine young lady of the Shen family!

What a lovely young couple!

Seeing these young men and women helping each other, some older professionals around them saw the beautiful side of their own youth in them!

If Lu Ren knew what they were thinking, he would probably spit out blood. But these bystanders didn't know what the price they were paying, and the young lady was well aware of her situation.

Although it all sounds sleazy, the backlash he's paying for it is either finding a woman or spending half a day alone in a corner. That's the price of power, something that can't be brought to the table—Miss, what the hell are you doing following me here?!

"Hey, kid."

As Lu Ren struggled with the young lady, a bald, middle-aged man suddenly appeared, placed his hand on Lu Ren's shoulder, and said earnestly, "The feelings a girl has when making a decision are the same as the feelings you have when you want to protect her."

Lu Ren: "————" Where did this strange old man come from, and what is he saying?

Lu Ren insisted on leaving, saying, "Miss, please let me go. I really don't have time to argue with you right now, and the sun hasn't even set yet."

"What do you mean, 'I'm arguing with you'? Didn't I share the consequences of your backlash last time?"

"Last time was because of that incident. The backlash was too great, and I couldn't handle it alone."

"Then let me come along this time too! Whether it's the youngest or the oldest, as your young lady, I'll share the burden with you!"

At this moment, in his mind's eye, a silver-haired girl was laughing so hard she was bent over backwards, her jade feet bobbing up and down.

"You're still laughing, what are we going to do?"

"You were too obvious just now. This girl probably guessed that something was wrong with you and wanted to keep bothering you to find out what was going on."

Lu Ren had his own guesses upon hearing this, but he really didn't know how to tell the young lady. After all, his relationship with his master was also very strange.

The master never admitted to having romantic feelings for him, nor did she accept his confession, but she needed him to replenish her magic regularly. Their relationship was simply that of a master and disciple with a sexual relationship.

This kind of relationship is simply impossible to put into words!

"There are too many people here, come this way."

But at that moment, Shen Yaoxing pulled him away from there, to a secluded corner where no one would disturb them. Looking at him, she said, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Um, this—"

Shen Yaoxing released his hand, her previous unreasonable behavior gone. Looking at Lu Ren's conflicted expression, she asked, "Is it something I can't know?"

He sounded a little guilty and said, "What if—that's what it is?"

"Then I won't ask any further questions. Anyway, I trust you."

Lu Ren paused upon hearing this, and looking at Shen Yaoxing, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

The young lady treated him extremely well. He was indeed gradually making a name for himself, but when he had nothing, it was this girl who chose him without the slightest hesitation. Even when he was at his lowest point, she did not look down on him in the slightest.

Trust, the most important thing between him and the young lady is trust. Although he doesn't know how the young lady's "intuition" mechanism works, Lu Ren has experienced it once. His intuition tells him that no matter what happens, the young lady is the person he can trust the most, and she trusts him just as firmly.

Should I really keep this from a young lady like her?

Lu Ren felt uneasy. "Well then, Miss, I'll be going now."

"Get out of here! Come back here right now!"

"Didn't you say you trusted me and wouldn't interfere?"

"After I said that, shouldn't you have been very moved and decided to tell me everything?"

"Young Miss, have you also gotten stuck in those hidden corners of Moonshadow? There wasn't even this option just now. And why are you being so difficult during the day now?"

"What do you mean day or night? Haven't I always been like this?"

"You wouldn't refer to yourself as 'this young lady' during the day, would you?"

Oh no! Why did the hamster Yaoxing appear in broad daylight? The horror of this change is no less than when Lam Ching-ying saw zombies jumping around in broad daylight.

However, upon closer inspection, the young lady did not transform into a hamster; she simply lacked the dignified and serene demeanor she displayed in public.

Actually, in the past, when the young lady was alone with him during the day, she would occasionally show a little bit of willfulness that she didn't show in front of other people.

"Let Master speak."

"You've recovered?"

"You've been drinking tea for so many years, you can't say it's completely useless."

Lu Ren was startled. His senses were drifting further and further away, a feeling as if his soul was being detached from his body.

However, it's not that he can't perceive, it's just that it's different from the five senses of the body, as if the five senses have become a kind of touch.

He knew that his body was now under his master's control.

At the same time, Shen Yaoxing's expression also changed.

In her intuition, Lu Ren's aura hadn't changed, but the feeling had. Moreover, her intuitive judgment was no longer one of complete trust, but rather one of the likelihood that he wouldn't harm her, like most people would.

She asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"You actually already guessed it, didn't you, Little Haruka?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaoxing's expression became quite complicated; she did indeed have some guesses.

"Are you Lu Ren's master, and our Shen family's great-grandmother, Shen Zhixian?"

I've been busy with work lately and haven't been feeling well. The amount of food I've eaten in the last three days isn't even enough for one of my breakfasts normally.

I feel unwell because of a lot of stress. Actually, I haven't had much of a desire to express myself lately. I'm never satisfied with what I write, and my mind is a bit tired. I spent 1 p.m. writing these 2000 words from 6 p.m., and I don't know what to write. To express my apologies, this chapter will be free and no subscription is required.

There's no point in saying too much. I feel a bit too tired. If I can't write, I just can't write. The book isn't doing well either, with only a few hundred subscriptions and not many people reading it. I'll take a break for a while, or I'll save up some manuscripts and release them all at once later, like monthly updates.
