Chapter 293 - You Are Naughty, Xiaobai Is Still Outside.

Chapter 293: You Are Naughty, Xiaobai Is Still Outside.

Qing Ming City.

At the police office.

Zhang Wei listened while his subordinates reported to him. He was speechless. The matter was resolved?

He had just rejected him, but the next second he went to resolve the matter.

This guy…

He might have said no, but his actions defied his words.

Zhang Wei did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He knew that Lu Ming certainly could not bear to see ordinary citizens of Qing Ming City suffer, that was why he helped them.

Look.

Lu Ming was the one who helped to resolve every crisis in Qing Ming City.

This child… Apart from being noisy at times, he was a good person.

“Lu Ming, that child…

“He is very kind-hearted.

“Hopefully… He will be able to stay simple and pure-hearted.”

…

At this very moment…

In the shop.

“Fifty percent!

No less!”

Wu Hongfei sounded unconvinced. “I am the one who risked my life and I am the one who faced danger. I am the one who has to bear the future responsibility. At the very least, you should give me half of the money!”

“Thirty percent.”

Lu Ming was no pushover.

“On what grounds?”

Wu Hongfei widened his eyes.

“This is to be divided among three people…”

Lu Ming sighed, pointing to Gao Xiaoqing silently. “Shouldn’t we count her too? She is the disciple of the Array Master and she has proven it personally.”

Wu Hongfei took a look at the person in front of him with slender legs and sighed.

Alright.

After all, she used to be my love interest…

“So thirty percent?” Wu Hongfei said weakly.

“Thirty percent!” Lu Ming confirmed. “We will take thirty percent each and the rest who make up the numbers will get something too. What do you think?”

“Okay,” Wu Hongfei agreed.

Hence…

He took the thirty percent that belonged to him.

“Xiaoqing, this money…”

Lu Ming walked over.

“I-I won’t accept it. I g-give all of it to you.”

Gao Xiaoqing waved her hands, looking embarrassed.

She felt very embarrassed to do this. She would not accept money for this.

“Okay.”

Lu Ming put the money aside.

Wu Hongfei came to his senses.

Crap!

He was too shameless!

“I will keep it for her first,” Lu Ming said with a smile.

Wu Hongfei was unconvinced. “Why can’t I keep it for her?”

“Haha.”

Lu Ming smiled, calling Miss Xiaoqing over. “Xiaoqing, Wu Hongfei said that he will keep the money for you. The two of you…”

“N-no.”

Gao Xiaoqing hurried to wave her hands. It would not do if Lu Ming misunderstood her.

“I’m leaving now!”

Wu Hongfei waved his hands and left. That disgusting and rotten smell…

Humph!

Sooner or later, he would find a wife with better genes!

She would be much better than Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, and his elder sister! The Wu family would be able to soar to great heights with the good genes.

…

Wu Hongfei left the shop.

It was once again quiet in the shop.

Actually…

Lu Ming’s initial plan was to take away the cores of these people. But then he thought of their identities and background…

He would not court his own death.

After all…

Breaking-off other people’s cultivation was a huge offense!

These young people might be inexperienced, but that did not mean that it was the same for their families. Therefore, in the end, Lu Ming got a few million yuan from them and told them to behave themselves in the future.

Sigh.

“I am too kind-hearted…”

Lu Ming sighed.

Xiaoqing blushed. She did not engage in a conversation with him.

“Life has been tough with you.”

Lu Ming was grateful.

The young lady had specifically made a trip to Qing Ming City.

“I-its nothing.”

Gao Xiaoqing blushed in embarrassment.

…

“The elder sister with long slender legs, have some tea.”

Xiaobai served tea obediently.

“Thank you,” Gao Xiaoqing said gently.

“Hmm…”

Xiaoqing swept her gaze over Xiaoqing’s long legs and suddenly leaned forward. “Sister Xiaoqing, can I touch your legs?”

“What is there to touch?”

Gao Xiaoqing looked shy.

“They are very long…” Xiaobai exclaimed.

She was certain that she would have long legs in the future as well!

“Definitely.”

Gao Xiaoqing caressed Xiaobai gently, guiding her hands to rest on her legs.

“Wow!” Xiaobai exclaimed.

…

Cough.

Lu Ming felt envious of them.

Well…

If he addressed Xiaoqing as his elder sister, could he touch her legs as well?

Well…

Forget it.

Considering the possibility of being killed, he gave up on the idea. He waited till the two of them were done before he mentioned the Restart Array.

“When would it be suitable for us to go?” Lu Ming asked.

“Now.”

Gao Xiaoqing thought about it. “The array is very important, especially since it is a thousand-year-old array. It is better to check on it as soon as possible. If we are late… I’m afraid there will be trouble!”

“Okay.”

Lu Ming looked toward Xiaoqing. “Wait a minute.”

With that…

He closed the shop and pulled Gao Xiaoqing to his bedside.

“Huh?!”

Gao Xiaoqing blushed red.

This…

This is too soon?!

Oh my goodness!

Lu Ming is a well-mannered person. Why… I-I… what should I do? If I reject him, will he be in a bad mood? If I agree to it, would it be too fast?

“You are naughty, Miss Xiaobai is still outside.”

Gao Xiaoqing tugged at the corner of her garment, feeling very nervous.

Lu Ming cast her an odd look. What was this lady thinking about?

Zzz —

He shifted the bed to reveal a hole that was carved out of the wall.

“This was left behind after the excavation,” Lu Ming said.

“Oh.”

Gao Xiaoqing blushed to a deeper shade of red.

Goodness, what was I thinking!

Calm down!

Gao Xiaoqing, you have to calm down!

You are a talented young lady. You must calm down!

Lu Ming cast her an odd glance.

It had been some time since they had last seen each other. Why was it that Xiaoqing seemed to blush more easily and she seemed to be very introverted? Also, what was the fragrance that he smelled in the air…

Ah!

Oh, Miss Xiaoqing’s body.

However, the smell was not the same as before.

This feeling…

“Did you use a new herb to temper your body?”

Lu Ming felt odd.

“N-no.”

Xiaoqing looked flustered.

“The smell…”

Lu Ming found it odd.

Xiaoqing lowered her head, her face blushing and she spoke in a very faint mosquito-like voice. “T-that is the smell of perfume…”

“Perfume?”

Lu Ming was dumbstruck for a long time.

Oh.

Crap!

How could he have forgotten about this…

The cultivators that he frequently mingled with did not put on makeup and hence he had forgotten that there were cosmetics in this world as well.

“D-does it have a bad smell?”

Gao Xiaoqing was ill at ease.

She rarely used cosmetics.

She used perfume so as to cover the herbal fragrance of her body. After all, she felt embarrassed to walk around with an odd fragrance.

“It’s okay.

“However, it is better to get rid of it.”

Lu Ming sounded very serious. “One can easily track you with this smell.”

“Okay.”

Gao Xiaoqing dispelled the fragrance with energy.

Buzz—

The strong smell of her body filled the surroundings.

Lu Ming was speechless.

Fine.

The perfume was gone, but her scent was back.

“It must not be easy for you to go out.”

Lu Ming was filled with emotions.

“I-I have my ways.”

Gao Xiaoqing said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t be traced.”

“That’s good.”

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

With that…

He brought Xiaoqing into the cave.

Lu Ming had left it untouched after the police officers discovered it. He had the feeling that the Restart Array was not that simple!

…

After a long time…

They arrived at the group of ancient tombs again.

There were only ruins.

Collapsed boulders were everywhere as well as an odd smell.

It was…

Blood.

Lu Ming’s pupils constricted.

Blood?

Why would there be blood there?!

He walked forward hurriedly and realized to his surprise that the ground in the group of ancient tombs had been stained with blood, which formed!

This was…

“This is the Restart Array,” Gao Xiaoqing’s clear voice said. “The primer for the Restart Array was destroyed. But it is impossible for an array like the Restart Array that had prepared for thousands of years to disappear. Therefore, those people used their blood as sacrifice to seep into the array. They used this method to start the array by force…”

“Blood sacrifice…”

Lu Ming looked up, he was shaken to the core by the sight of it.

In this group of huge ancient tombs, the lines of the array slowly emerged. This was a huge array formed by blood. It was eerie and terrifying!

It was such a large array…

There was so much blood…

How many people used their blood as a sacrifice?

There might be more than thousands of them!

These people…

They were mad!!!

Buzz—

Buzz—

The blood flowed and the array trembled slightly.

Every time the blood flowed, it seeped into the array. Everything was irreversible now. The Restart Array could not be stopped.

“The blood has seeped inside.”

Gao Xiaoqing was terribly concerned. “The Restart Array is unavoidable.”

“Can’t we get rid of the blood?”

Lu Ming came to his senses.

“It’s useless.”

Gao Xiaoqing shook her head. “The blood has entered the array. The primer to activate the array is present. It has not started as there isn’t enough sinister aura.

“When there is enough sinister aura to support its operation, the array will be activated!

“It is inevitable.

“This blood…

“The array has sucked the energy from it.”

…

“Is there really no other way?” Lu Ming asked.

“It is too late,” Gao Xiaoqing said softly.

Yes.

It was too late.

If they had come before the blood sacrifice, she would have been able to come up with solutions to eliminate the Restart Array bit by bit. But right now…

This was already a ‘quasi-active’ array!

It could not be interfered with!

No one dared to do anything to it now!

Nothing could be done!

…

“How much longer will the activation last?” Lu Ming asked.

“Three days,” Gao Xiaoqing replied.

Lu Ming was silent.

Therefore, they were only left with three days?!

He knew that the Restart Array was certainly not that simple. However, he did not expect that in two days’ time, the situation would deteriorate!

“What will happen to Qing Ming City if the Restart Array is activated?” Lu Ming suddenly asked.

“I don’t know.”

Gao Xiaoqing shook her head. “The books on the Restart Array are very ancient… No one can clearly say what the situation will be like after the Restart Array is activated. However, one thing is certain, the so-called rare opportunity will appear, and as the host, the city will be destroyed…

“As for what else will happen…

“Nobody knows.”

Gao Xiaoqing tried hard to remember and she confirmed that nothing was not stated in the materials she had read.

There was not much information on the Restart Array. After all, this was their array. Apart from the men in black, not many people knew about it!

“Really?”

Lu Ming looked at the array silently.

Buzz—

Before his eyes…

The lines of the array that were formed by blood shone.

The blood-red color permeated the array.

…

Is there really no way to stop it?

Qing Ming City…

Sinister aura…

Wait a minute.

Lu Ming paused momentarily. He was very sensitive to this term.

“Xiao-Xiaojian. Can you fix this?” Lu Ming asked.

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

Lu Ming was doubtful.

Did it mean that it was impossible?

Lu Ming looked toward Miss Xiaoqing. “You just said that the reason why it has not been activated is because it is still slowly absorbing or condensing the sinister aura, right?”

“Yes.”

Gao Xiaoqing was certain.

“Oh…”

Lu Ming pondered deeply.

Hence…

He took out his Original Card.

Xiao-Xiaojian was super frantic.

“Lu Ming!

“What do you want?!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was furious.

Although he needed the sinister aura to temper its body, the blood… it seemed very dirty… Besides, there was not enough sinister aura here…

It was not worth it.

It was a noble ancient sword spirit! It refused to go to such a dirty place!

“Don’t!

“Lu Ming, I was wrong!

“I really am!

“In the future, I won’t scold you secretly! I won’t say that you are poor! I won’t say that you are addicted to Lolitas! I won’t say that you keep idling around! I won’t scold you for being a loser! If there is a day where you become a savage and decide to pervert Xiaobai, I will pretend not to see it…”

Xiao-Xiaojian was terrified.

Lu Ming’s countenance changed and he hurled the card toward the array.

Bang!

The Original Card dropped into the blood.

“Lu Ming, damn you!”

Xiao-Xiaojian’s angry thoughts were being transmitted to him.

This was too much!

Xiao-Xiaobai used Xiaobai’s blood to temper!

Zhao Yunshan’s card spirit could have whatever it wanted. It must have used fragrant and attractive blood to temper. Why did it have to use the blood of the men in black?

Crap!

Gulp…

Blood rushed into the original card.

Bang!

A sinister murderous thought came rushing towards him.

“Get lost!”

Xiao-Xiaojian who was furious exploded with fury. So be it that Lu Ming bullied him. Now, the sinister aura and murderous intent within the blood were after him as well?

Bang!

Xiao-Xiaojian was infuriated.

A terrifying thought swept over the blood, rushing into the array. It stopped the condensation of the sinister aura in the array by force!

After a long time…

When it left…

The recovery rate of the sinister aura in the Restart Array had slowed down significantly…

…

“Haha.”

Lu Ming looked at it and remained silent.

He discovered that Xiao-Xiaojian was very shameless.

It was true.

It could have easily fixed the problem. But it refused to help but laze around. He had to drive it into a corner before it would do something. It was really…

Shameless!

It had an obsession for cleanliness?

To hell with that!

The Original Card was condensed by the Sea of Consciousness. Nothing could stain it. Even if the Original Card was dyed or had tattoos, everything would be gone once it entered the Sea of Consciousness. What was there to be afraid of?!

It would not be affected at all!

Well…

When he had the small leather whip, he would teach it a good lesson.

At this very moment…

Miss Xiaoqing watched the scene with an incredible expression on her face. She sensed the recovery rate of the Restart Array and it seemed to be slower now!

Goodness!

Lu Ming…

Lu Ming did that?!

Even her master could not do that!

Before she came to Qing Ming City, she had consulted her master regarding the Restart Array. Her master said that if the Restart Array was active, they must immediately evacuate!

H-however, Lu Ming could fix it?!

Although the blood sacrifice was irreversible, after what Lu Ming did, the recovery speed had slowed down significantly. They had ample time to prepare for it!

“Lu Ming, y-you are awesome!” Gao Xiaoqing exclaimed.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

It was the one who had done the job. It had nothing to do with Lu Ming who idled around.

Also…

Why was there a disgusting and rotten smell…

Snort!

What arrogance!

After it hooked up with Xiao-Xiaobai, they would be envious seeing them spend everyday together!
