CHAPTER 729: CHAPTER 729: LU XIAO, YOU REALLY ARE A JERK

Soon, Yin Li stood beside Lu Xiao.

"Indeed, they are well-matched," Zhan Qingyun couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiao standing together with Yin Li, they were truly a perfect match.

"Let me introduce her to everyone; this is Yin Li."

"In some time, I will marry Yin Li."

"Consider today as our engagement party," he announced.

Apart from Feng Tianxing, who had prior knowledge, the rest of the crowd was stunned.

Even Yin Li was taken aback.

Yin Li had thought that Lu Xiao was simply introducing her to everyone; she didn’t expect him to bring up marriage so directly.

Looking at Lu Xiao, the love in Yin Li’s beautiful eyes deepened even more.

Noticing Yin Li’s expression, Yu Heng couldn’t help but roll her eyes; alright, there was no saving Yin Li from her love-struck brain now.

But... perhaps that was for the best.

After all, for Yin Li, being with the person she loved wasn’t a bad thing at all.

And that youngster Lu Xiao, he did have a sense of responsibility.

He would probably treat Yin Li very well in the future.

"This lad, getting married without a whisper of it beforehand," Li Qing said, somewhat emotional.

Although he had only known Lu Xiao for a few months, and even the actual time spent together was just a month or two, those months were filled with more excitement than one could imagine.

The relationship between them wasn’t quite that of a teacher and a student, more like that of friends and comrades-in-arms.

"Marrying young is also good; it saves all the other girls from longing," Yu Zhengxing also murmured.

In the entire First Academy, probably eighty percent of the girls harbored some feelings for Lu Xiao.

It couldn’t be helped; he was young, powerful, prestigious, and charismatic.

Which girl wouldn’t be smitten, right?

"Sect Leader Lu, you should have said something earlier; I haven’t prepared any wedding gift,"

"How about this, the Chongshan Courtyard next to City King Mansion can serve as my gift," Situ Xian said.

Everyone took a deep breath.

Was he really giving away the Chongshan Courtyard just like that?

That place was newly built by Situ Xian’s people in the recent years, and its splendor even surpassed that of the City King Mansion.

It was said that Situ Xian planned to make Chongshan Courtyard the new City King Mansion.

Lu Xiao curled his lip; what was he going to do with that? He was leaving tomorrow and couldn’t even live there.

But later on, during the holidays, it could be a nice place to visit and stay.

"Then you can manage it for me, and I’ll stay when I have time," Lu Xiao nodded to Situ Xian.

Seeing that Lu Xiao had accepted the gift, Situ Xian’s eyes lit up with a joyful smile.

This way, their relationship was now even stronger.

Having accepted my house, he would certainly feel reluctant to hit me with a heavy hand now, right?

"Alright, I’ll assign someone to handle its daily maintenance and cleaning to ensure that Sect Leader Lu can stay at any time."

With Situ Xian giving his gift, Zhan Qingyun couldn’t just stand by doing nothing.

"Lu Xiao, I don’t have the kind of resources that City King Situ has, but this is also a token of my regard," Zhan Qingyun said as he handed a delicate jade box to Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao opened the box and looked inside, his expression one of confusion.

He didn’t recognize the object inside the box.

Round, it looked like an elixir, but its texture was similar to that of Liuli.

"This is a Dome."

Hearing Zhan Qingyun’s words, even Situ Xian next to him couldn’t help but gape.

A Dome!

Holy shit, Zhan Qingyun that bastard really pulled out all the stops, didn’t he? He sure had some deep resources, being the Dean of the First Academy for so many years and managing to get his hands on such a treasure.

"Some cultivators will choose to break through the acupoints in their brains ahead of time."

"However, the success rate for such a breakthrough is extremely low, almost a situation of certain death, but there are always those who are lucky, and those who possess superpowers."

"After these people successfully open up all the acupoints in their heads, they will form a Dome in their brains."

"After death, the Dome doesn’t dissipate. Consuming it can greatly enhance the strength of the brain’s acupoints."

Hearing Zhan Qingyun’s explanation, Lu Xiao’s breathing became somewhat rapid.

That is to say, this thing is useless for ordinary people, and even for those Above Half-Immortal, it’s almost useless.

After all, the difficulty of cultivation for those Above Half-Immortal is incredibly challenging.

Even Xuanyuan Panshi is far from reaching the zenith of this realm.

But for him, Lu Xiao, he is now at the peak of Above Half-Immortal, which is also the pinnacle of the Unity Realm.

Indeed, if he wished, he could break through his brain acupoint at any time to enter the True Fate Realm.

The reason he hadn’t made a breakthrough was because he dared not.

If something even slightly went wrong with the brain, a person was done for.

The purpose of the Dome was to enhance the strength of the brain acupoint, a great pillow for a nodding head!

"Dean, this is great stuff, thank you so much," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but beam with joy.

"Why be polite? Although this thing is rare, it’s most likely useless for me," Zhan Qingyun shrugged his shoulders.

Although he had reached Above Half-Immortal, Zhan Qingyun was clear that this was as far as he would go.

Advancing further was simply not possible.

In contrast, Lu Xiao had reached Above Half-Immortal in his twenties, and his chances were significant.

To surpass Above Half-Immortal, oh, it was hard to imagine how strong that would be.

"Come on, let’s eat, drink, and be merry, not stopping till we’re thoroughly drunk!" Lu Xiao raised his hand and shouted.

Soon, the aroma of roasted meat filled the air, the clinking of glasses and continuous laughter and cheers melded together.

...

Early the next day, Lu Xiao awoke and left the courtyard without disturbing Feng Tianxing.

Saying goodbye was too sorrowful, but after all, there would always be a time for reunion.

By the time he reached Yu Heng’s courtyard, both Yu Heng and Yin Li were ready.

Neither of them had carried much, just a leather knapsack each.

"Let’s go, let’s try to get out by tonight."

"Alright!"

As night approached, the three of them reached the summit of Guiyun Mountain, the highest point in the Divine Continent Realm, and the place closest to Red Eyes.

"Lu Xiao, it’s getting dark, and there’s nowhere to hide up here," Yu Heng was somewhat anxious.

The summit was an expanse of open space; once the Red Eyes appeared, there would be no chance of escape.

"No need to hide," Lu Xiao looked up at the sky.

The light of Red Eyes was already faintly visible.

At the same time, Lu Xiao finally saw the true form of Red Eyes.

Stereo, profound, layers upon layers.

Indeed, Red Eyes was a passage, a channel connecting the Divine Continent Realm with the outside.

"Red Eyes, I’m ready to leave, send me off," Lu Xiao called out.

Behind Lu Xiao, Yu Heng and Yin Li were full of question marks.

What was Lu Xiao doing? Calling out to Red Eyes?

This...

"Tsk, Lu Xiao, you really are a scoundrel, taking two girls with you," a voice came.

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes but couldn’t be bothered to argue with Red Eyes.

"How do we operate exactly?" Lu Xiao continued to ask.

"Just resist the red light’s erosion, leave the rest to me," came the response.

"Okay."

After he spoke, superpowers erupted from within Lu Xiao, wrapping himself, Yu Heng, and Yin Li within it.

The next moment, the world dimmed as red light flooded everything.

Under the erosion of the red light, the superpower shield began to crackle, being consumed and blown apart.

However, Lu Xiao was unconcerned, as his current speed of absorbing the red light was enough to keep up with the consumption.

"Let’s go!" the voice of Red Eyes sounded again.

An invisible force lifted the three of them up and hurtled them towards the center of Red Eyes.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the three figures completely vanished into Red Eyes.

Just as they disappeared, the red light in the world went mad, rampaging, and finally converged frantically towards one spot.

"Boom!" An extremely terrifying explosion echoed throughout the Divine Continent Realm.

The next moment, the red light between heaven and earth vanished.

A dazzling red point collapsed into the Red Eyes passage.

"Hehe! Finally free, I can... go out and have fun," said a voice playfully.
