Chapter 196 Dan Heng's Decision
Tingyun looked at Lu Li with a smile, but a hint of surprise and...greed flashed in her beautiful fox eyes.
That last moment.
She originally wanted to test the knife's capabilities and see if she could absorb some of its power.
But unexpectedly.
Her power vanished without a trace the moment it touched the hilt of the knife, as if it had disappeared into thin air, and she even suffered a strong backlash.
This knife... is definitely no ordinary object!
Lu Li glanced at Ting Yun.
He could feel that just a moment ago, his "pure heart body" automatically activated, instantly absorbing and purifying the invading evil power, and transforming it into his own spiritual power.
Although it was only a tiny bit.
But that feeling...
So fucking cool!
This Miss Huanlong is practically a walking experience pack!
Lu Li's expression changed instantly.
Looking at the seemingly harmless fox-like woman in front of him, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.
Or... should I let her touch me a few more times?
The bold idea that flashed through Lu Li's mind was quickly extinguished by him.
What a joke.
Absorbing Huanlong's power is indeed very satisfying.
But this woman is a genuine envoy; if things go wrong, it's no laughing matter.
Just think of his two "predecessors" on the sky and you'll understand.
One of them confronted the Destruction Order, Ember, and ultimately fell into the demonic shadow, sacrificing himself to replace it.
One who is in a position to be rich and powerful... needless to say.
He just wants to live a peaceful life as a salted fish now, and he doesn't want to die young.
Therefore, unless he is absolutely certain, he will not take action against Tingyun.
Fortunately, knowing Tingyun's purpose, he knew he wouldn't easily reveal it before Tingyun achieved his goal.
Therefore, it's best for both sides to keep to themselves for now.
He subtly took a step back, creating distance between himself and Tingyun, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing."
"But men and women should not be too close, so it would be better for Miss Tingyun to stay away from me."
Looking at Lu Li, Tingyun's smile deepened.
"My benefactor Lu Li seems a little wary of me?" She tilted her head, looking innocent and naive. "Did Tingyun do something wrong?"
"No." Lu Li replied succinctly.
He didn't want to say another word to this dangerous woman.
Seeing the strange atmosphere between the two of them, March 7th couldn't help but lean close to Xing's ear and whisper, "Xing, don't you think... Sister Tingyun seems particularly interested in Lu Li?"
Xing nodded in deep agreement: "I think so too."
March 7th's eyes lit up: "Could it be... because Lu Li saved her just now, and she developed feelings for him?"
Lu Li, who had overheard everything, remained silent.
Sometimes he really wanted to take out March 7's brain to see if it was flat.
Fortunately, Lu Li's silence didn't last long.
Because they hadn't gone far, they encountered another small group of demonic soldiers.
"Another monster!" March 7th immediately drew his bow.
"Leave it to us."
"March 7th, Lu Li, you two stay behind to protect Miss Tingyun."
After Walter finished speaking, he rushed up with Xing.
This time, Lu Li learned his lesson.
He didn't move at all; he simply shrank back and hid behind a large shipping container.
This perfectly illustrates what it means to "slip through the water and fish without doing anything."
On March 7th, while shooting arrows, he turned around to call for Lu Li to help cover him.
But upon closer inspection, they discovered that Lu Li had disappeared again.
Upon closer inspection, they spotted Lu Li paddling near the shipping container.
On March 7th, he was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Lu Li! You're slacking off again!"
Lu Li: "..."
Lu Li silently shifted his gaze and said calmly, "I don't call this slacking off, I call it overseeing things!"
Yes, he's not slacking off.
He's conserving his strength and preventing Tingyun from discovering more about him.
Looking at Lu Li, who was so self-righteous.
March 7th: "..."
You're just being lazy!
Walter and Xing quickly dealt with the monsters.
Looking at the two unharmed individuals, Tingyun's eyes were full of admiration: "You two are incredibly strong; Tingyun is truly impressed."
"Don't worry, I'll have someone come and handle the situation later."
Then her gaze swept across the entire room, as if searching for something.
Finally, the focus shifted to Lu Li, who was standing behind the shipping container with only a baseball cap visible, and the smile on his lips became even more playful.
This man is really interesting.
Sometimes it reveals its sharp edge, moving as fast as a ghost.
At other times, however, he is lazy and negligent.
It's just like two people.
He was also carrying that strange knife.
Lu Li...
Tingyun seemed to be deep in thought.
Who exactly is he?
……
the other side.
Inside the observation carriage of the Starry Sky Train.
Dan Heng stood in front of the French windows, quietly looking at Luo Fu outside, seemingly lost in thought.
"What's wrong, Danheng?"
Himeko came to Danheng's side.
Dan Heng was silent for a moment: "...It's nothing."
"that is……"
Seemingly sensing Danheng's thoughts, Himeko smiled and said, "Don't worry."
"With Mr. Walter leading the team, and Lu Li going along as well, everything will be fine."
"But if you're still worried... why not go with them?"
Dan Heng fell silent upon hearing this.
He was very worried, but not afraid to set foot on Luofu soil again.
After all, his conversation with Bai Heng had resolved his inner conflict.
He even felt that he was now capable of...
But it is precisely because he has resolved his inner conflict that he is afraid.
Afraid……
Dan Heng looked out the window at Luofu in silence for a moment, then said softly, "I'm just afraid that my burdens will drag everyone into this..."
Himeko glanced helplessly at Danheng.
She knew that Danheng was overthinking things.
That's why it seems a bit restrictive.
but……
Himeko shook her head: "Who can be without burdens?"
"I, Mr. Walter, Lu Li... even if I don't remember anything like March 7th, I still have a heavy burden on my shoulders."
Himeko looked out the window as if remembering something and sighed, "We are walking on an unseen path of destiny."
"Everything we see, hear, and explore is our baggage, both a heavy burden and the strength that keeps us going."
Himeko snapped out of her thoughts, looked at Danheng, and smiled: "Don't overthink it, Danheng."
"According to regulations, the train stops for seven standard days."
"During this period, passengers are free to use their own time."
"With Pam and I on duty on the train, and now Miss Bai Heng on board, that's enough."
Himeko looked at Danji and said, "So... just do what you want to do. It's better than regretting it later."
Dan Heng lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. When he raised his head again, his eyes had become firm.
He didn't speak, but simply nodded to Himeko and walked towards his room.
"Oh, right."
Upon hearing this, Danheng stopped in his tracks.
Looking at Danheng's back.
After a moment of silence, Himeko spoke up: "After everything is over... you'll go back to the train and continue traveling with everyone, right?"
Dan Heng didn't turn around, but nodded after a moment of silence.
"Um."
