Chapter 711: To Worship the Heaven

When Lu Shu left, all the Sardinians waved him goodbye at the port. He had made a whole island of friends during this trip.
He calmly gazed at the sea surface. Yet again his life had seemingly returned to normal. He was still an average mean guy, without grand weddings or the enchanting girl.
Unexpectedly, though, Chen Zuan was particularly popular among local girls. Many were moved by his perseverance and courage during his fight with the Danke.
In the midst of his puberty, how could this little fatty remain unmoved in the face of the many young girls’ confessions of love? He flirted with them despite their language barrier. His ego was greatly satisfied although there was no real development of their relationships.
When their cruise ship departed from the port, there were over ten girls waving Zuan goodbye, crying their eyes out...
Just when Chen Zuan indulged in his own elation, Lu Shu slapped the back of his head and chided, “Did I not tell you to stop flirting with girls?”
“Ouch! Stop it!” Chen Zuan ran away with his hands on his head.
“The Puppet Masters are on the move,” Cao Qingci said, standing beside Lu Shu, “Be careful. You faced them in both the Koh Chang and Lop Nur remains.”
Lu Shu nodded sternly. He had wanted to put on his black armor at Sardinia, but did not dare to in the end.
It was because he was afraid that the black armor would immediately signal to the Puppet Master that he was the guy she met in the Lop Nur remains...
But Lu Shu thought that he was not really afraid. He was simply avoiding trouble. He would have been an easy target for two Class A’s if they really wanted to kill him.
Lu Shu was concerned. Why were there so many pros interested in beating him up? After this trip, he would be a thorn in the flesh of the Bishop, and Satan would definitely not forget the appalling humiliation he inflicted.
Certainly Lu Shu knew well the effect of the little sword spirit’s punch. But he had always had difficulty giving the current Satan a new name. It had troubled Lu Shu for a long time, but he refused to give up, as if he would be a failure otherwise.
After everything had been settled, Lu Shu felt that his divergent thinking was back – Scattered Eggs!
Meanwhile, the Department of Faith Theory was like a venomous snake in the darkness. They had secretly retreated from a southern city after the Heavenly Visions following Coral’s ascension to Class A. They had no intention to confront Coral head-on, and decided to hide in the safety of their castle to observe the subsequent events.
Lu Shu turned to look at Cheng Qiuqiao, who had as many as 11 wounds as a result of the grand battle with Satan. As for Chen Zuan, Cheng Qiuqiao and Han You, they had even more wounds.
He had no idea when Cao Qingci ascended to Class B, though he knew that there would surely be an increasing number of Class B’s in the Heavenly Network. In the magical era, they would become the real mainstays in the organization, which would also suffer from a less serious shortage of talents as compared to now.
At this moment, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao gathered around them too. They both had bandages around their bodies, but they seemed to be in a peaceful state of mind. People tended to be more optimistic and composed after every encounter with life and death.
Chen Zuan ordered a few glasses of wine from a waiter. “Brother Shu, you’ll become famous due to this fight. Now that we are safe, it’s the first time I can have a drink with you. Let’s bottle up and drink until we are drunk tonight!” With that, he passed Lu Shu and Cao Qingci one glass each.
Holding a glass of wine, Lu Shu remained silent. Chen Zuan said, “Say something, Brother Shu.”
The cruise ship was sailing past Africa. Lu Shu wondered how Zhao Yongchen was doing now. Actually, his feelings and love were nothing compared to the hardships those people were going through. Slowly he raised his glass and said, “To freedom, to death, to the rising sun, and to the people...”
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
“From Cao Qingci’s distress, +66!”
“From Cheng Qiuqiao...”
“From...”
Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. “Wait a moment, Brother Shu. Why to the rising sun and people?! Shouldn’t it be to the moonlight?!”
Lu Shu was silent for three seconds. Then, he suddenly slapped Chen Zuan’s head. “Did I not tell you to stop flirting with girls?”
Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
...
When Lu Shu and the rest returned to China, they were received by people from the Heavenly Network. Even their air and bus tickets had been prepared beforehand. Chen Zuan exclaimed, “I’ve never received such fine treatment in the past.”
The others remained silent. They had all completed missions before, and such treatment was a rarity no matter how dangerous their assignments had been. Thus, the only reasonable explanation was that one of their team members had changed.
Lu Shu and Cheng Qiuqiao would return to Luo City, and Chen Zuan to the Capital, Cheng Qiuqiao to the provincial capital of Yuzhou, and Han You to Sucheng.
After Lu Shu said goodbye to the rest, he followed Cao Qingci through the customs. The trip back to Luo City was very smooth. Then, he parted with Cao Qingci and agreed to meet again when the term started at Luo City Cultivation College.
Just when Lu Shu was wondering if Lu Xiaoyu had returned as he was reaching home, he received a message from You Mingyu. “Are you in Luo City yet? Heavenly King Nie said that he has something to communicate with you regarding the details of the European trip this time. I have to make additional remarks to the power changes in Europe according to your first-person narrative.”
“Sure.” Lu Shu certainly had to do this. “Where are you?”
“Outside your house.”
Lu Shu sped up because he did not want to keep You Mingyu waiting.
However, he did not see him outside his house. He sent another message. “Where are you?”
“Look up...”
In shock, Lu Shu looked up. Outside the door, there was a new pole, on top of which You Mingyu was hanging and swinging about like a flying flag. Even under such situations he was still holding his phone with both hands and texting Lu Shu.
“How did you end up there?!” Lu Shu had a bad hunch. “Has Xiaoyu already come home?!”
“She returned a long time ago. After getting lost and having trouble with foreign languages outside, she came back and demanded us to cooperate with her in locating you. She also insisted on being a Heavenly King. But we can’t do that, of course...” replied You Mingyu calmly.
Lu Shu was stunned. “When was that?”
“When your contact person changed from Zhong Yutang to me,” You Mingyu said with a smile.
“Is Zhong Yutang okay...?” Lu Shu was still in shock.
“What do you think? I became your new contact person after all...” You Mingyu smiled.
“Then did you do as she said...” Lu Shu looked at You Mingyu in the sky.
“Have a guess. Why am I being hung here... To worship the Heavens?” You Mingyu was still smiling, but there was a tinge of bitterness and anger in it.
“From You Mingyu’s distress, +199!”
