Chapter 87: The Death of the Right Protector

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

“Although I can communicate with you now, I have lost all five senses and can’t move my body.”

Zhou Yan held his hand and found that the voice appeared directly in his head. He glanced at Luo Futu, who was still unconscious in the chair, and asked, “Do you know how you collapsed?”

He glanced outside as he asked, but didn’t move – Zhou Yan was used to this kind of “invasion” after so many battles with Lurians, and they had been practicing, so the mecha team would be able to handle even this little commotion. That would be too fragile, so he couldn’t worry about it yet.

Luo Futu was silent for a while before saying, “I don’t know, I don’t feel like I’m poisoned… My body is not poisoned, but something has sealed my perception of the outside world, it’s very strange.”

The word seal should be a word that belongs to the mystic world.

Zhou Yan grabbed Luo Futu’s hand and put it in front of his eyes to scrutinize his fingertips, and Luo Futu wondered, “What are you looking at?”

Zhou Yan did not say anything, the voice in his head suddenly laughed, “Nice, isn’t it?”

Zhou Yan froze for a moment – this guy… What time is it, how can he still be in the mood to say such things?

“And so relaxed, you are sealed up.”

Luo Futu was indifferent, “Even if I lost my life, I can’t break the seal, so I might as well be happy. Just tell me, do you like it?”

“It looks good, you look good everywhere.”

— although perfunctory words, but also have to admit that it was the truth, Luo Futu’s hands were long and white, but also very powerful, indeed very good-looking. It should be said that this person’s body was favored by the Creator everywhere.

Zhou Yan sighed and continued to grasp his hand to look at it carefully, Luo Futu did not understand what he was looking at and could only ask, “What do you want to find in my hand?”

“When you were picking flowers outside the boundary, did you touch anything? I see there are many small thorns on it, did you get pricked?”

Luo Futu wondered, “What does this have to do with the seal?”

Zhou Yan just said, “I don’t know, but in a fairy tale there was a princess who fell into a deep sleep after her finger touched a spindle.”

Luo Futu’s side suddenly went quiet for a long time before he said inexplicably, “You’re comparing me to a princess?”

“You do look like a princess now.”

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but show a smile, it was a pity Luo Futu couldn’t move now, otherwise his expression would have been wonderful.

Luo Futu’s voice came again, “I think I did get pricked when I picked the flowers, but it shouldn’t matter, I don’t think it has anything to do with my sudden inability to move.”

Zhou Yan, however, felt that, now that nothing was known about his condition, he could not let go of any possibility.

“Let’s try an experiment.”

Zhou Yan tried to put his hand back, but heard Luo Futu say, “Don’t let go of my hand, so I can communicate with you.”

“That’s convenient, if I don’t want to hear you talk, I can just let go.”

Luo Futu sighed, “Professor Zhou has learned to be a bully.”

Zhou Yan ignored him and brought the small cow hair thorns he had picked off the plant earlier, then picked one of them out and stuck it into the heart of the mouse’s paw. He did this before regaining Luo Futu’s hand, “I stabbed the mouse with those little thorns to see if that’s what caused you to be sealed.”

Luo Futu’s tone didn’t sound hopeful, “Then you should go find a mystic and try it out, what if it’s only for mystic seals?”

Zhou Yan shook his head slightly, “How many times have I said, I will not use living people as experiment subjects, you’d better not hold this idea again, pervert?”

“Perverted is perverted, I have not been called perverted by you.”

The mice used for experiments have not yet had any reaction, but they were within the normal category. Luo Futu also came back after a long time before the problem appeared, however, at this time, outside again came a loud noise, Zhou Yan listened, it seems to be who screamed.

Is it Bai Yueqing?

Zhou Yan frowned and listened carefully, but there was no sound, he could not sit still, stood up and said, “I’ll go out and see, you stay here, there should not be any danger.”

“Ah? I can’t move now, I need your protection.”

Need my ass.

“I’m not going out, I’m going to take a look by the door.”

After all, there was no mecha around him…

Zhou Yan no longer nagged him, after finishing his speech, he directly got up and went outside, Luo Futu lay there in dry anger – he knew, hearing the sound of that omega he could not sit still, even disregarding his own safety, he really still had thoughts about that omega in his heart!

Zhou Yan looked outside through the lab door and saw Zuo Guofu in a black robe standing outside the door with his back to him, while Bai Yueqing was sitting on the floor, seemingly covering his face and crying. Zhou Yan frowned, pushed the door open and walked out, “What’s going on…”

He had just said a few words when he stopped, because he found Zuo Guofu’s arms holding… A piece of clothing?

“Zhou Yan…. …Zhou Yan!”

Bai Yueqing saw Zhou Yan, as if he had finally found a savior, and hurriedly climbed up to pull him, Zhou Yan patted Bai Yueqing’s shoulder to comfort him, “Don’t panic, is it the Lurian invasion? Or is it a beast wave…”

“The mecha team is already defending against the Lurians, don’t worry.”

Zuo Guofu’s voice sounded a bit low, Zhou Yan felt a bit bad, he gently patted Bai Yueqing, signaling him to let go, and then walked over.

He looked at the red sarong in Zuo Guofu’s hand, “What the hell happened?”

Zuo Guofu didn’t say anything, but Bai Yueqing said with a crying voice, “The right protector was eaten by a monster…”

Zhou Yan heard this, the first reaction was disbelief, in his eyes the right protector was also a very powerful person, although her magic power was not as exaggerated as Luo Futu, but also more than enough to deal with a Lurian. Since Zuo Guofu said the mecha battle team has been coping, it should not be a tricky situation, how could she be sacrificed at such a time?

What Zhou Yan couldn’t figure out was exactly what Zuo Guofu couldn’t figure out. He didn’t know how to explain this, and felt as if his mind was blank as never before.

At that moment, Bai Yueqing spoke up again, choking on a sob, “The Right Protector was trying to save me…”

Zhou Yan has not yet understood, but Zuo Guofu as if suddenly recalled a somewhat unacceptable image, fiercely sucked in a breath, he clutched the bloody sarong in his hands, staggered and turned to run. Zhou Yan hurriedly called, “left protector!”

Zuo Guofu didn’t stop, but ran away without a shadow, and didn’t know where he went. Although Zhou Yan was anxious, he worried about Lurians appearing again, so he took Bai Yueqing back to the temple.

Bai Yueqing’s words, however, let Zuo Guofu after this moment of confusion, recalled the image that he least wanted to remember.

The first line of defense was not held. Bai Yueqing was following the evacuation team forward, but somehow it was so unlucky that Lurians didn’t touch anyone, but came towards him.

Bai Yueqing was stunned for a moment, he smelled the fishy smell of the monster’s mouth, he thought he might be about to die in the monster’s mouth… But in the nick of time, Mu Lian suddenly rushed over, dragged him up and threw him out hard, but was bitten by a Lurian because of her unprotected back.

Mu Lian was not a person who would give herself up to save others, much less to save a human, if the one being eaten today was someone else, she would have looked on coldly. But when she saw that the person was Bai Yueqing, Mu Lian’s body automatically rushed up and pulled him out of the danger zone.

Mu Lian still didn’t have any good feelings for Bai Yueqing. She saved him just because Zuo Guofu said he was in love with Bai Yueqing, and that was the first time in his life that he clearly said he wanted one thing – or one person.

Mu Lian hated Zuo Guofu, who always competed with her for Luo Futu’s attention. They were both Luo Futu’s spirit attendants, so naturally they secretly wanted to compete with each other, and Zuo Guofu’s magic power was stronger than hers, and his ability was also stronger than hers, and he had to overpower himself on every mission.

But Mu Lian cared a lot about Zuo Guofu, he was a piece of wood, couldn’t guess the master’s mind, his stupid mouth couldn’t talk, in front of their own only suffering the share. Zuo Guofu thought he was giving in to her, but Mu Lian simply felt that he was just stupid, he would often make Luo Futu angry. Whenever this happened, Mu Lian would habitually help him…. She didn’t have to help him, she just thought that if Zuo Guofu was really punished by the Spirit Master, or even expelled, there would be a new person to replace him in the future, and she had only been able to get along with this “left protector”, so how could she stand to do it again?

Think of the trouble.

The two of them have had a very strange relationship over the years, tacitly understanding and caring for each other, but also disliking each other.

Mu Lian rushed out the moment, thinking, this was probably inertia, she did not want to see Zuo Guofu’s wooden face showing any sad expression.

Mu Lian’s placenta was a strong defensive python, equivalent to a shield-like existence, but in the course of actual combat, often hiding behind others. She would not die, but was also afraid of pain, and more afraid of pain than the next person. She knew this stink, and did not expect she could help herself, every task to habitually rush to the forefront.

She didn’t like to get hurt, she didn’t like knives cutting into her body, Zuo Guofu thought it didn’t matter, he could also protect her by hand.

This was probably also Zuo Guofu’s habit.

Mu Lian was still alive after being bitten by Lurian, and she was relieved to see Zuo Guofu catch Bai Yueqing, who had been thrown into mid-air by her. She was still thinking that it was worthwhile to see Zuo Guofu lose his temper in this life.

But Mu Lian had no way to control her body, she was backing up and getting farther and farther away from Zuo Guofu.

Mu Lian’s body was finally pierced by Lurian’s teeth, which disappeared from the waist down. Mu Lian was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes, and she used her last breath to shout at Zuo Guofu, “Please master! Take him into retirement!”

Go live the life you want to live…

They were two weapons in their lives. Mu Lian felt that she could be a weapon for life, she liked this life, she showed her desire for ordinary life in front of Zuo Guofu for the first time herself, Mu Lian was very sad, but also very puzzled… But she finally chose to support her partner, since he wanted to go to a normal life, then let him go, they always have to enjoy a normal relationship in this life.

Mu Lian never wanted to be strong, did not know what it meant to let go, and did not know what it meant to understand. She wanted something attainable, she wanted to get the person, even to death, buried in the ground, but also had to twist him into the shape of their favorite burial. Her life’s patience and compromise were used in this annoying partner. She finally chose to understand him. She thought that the only person left around the Spirit Master was herself, no one would compete with her for merit and favor, and she would fight to the end as a weapon.

Zuo Guofu did not catch up with the Lurian, he watched as Mu Lian was swallowed into the belly of the monster.

He heard Mu Lian’s last voice, she said, and thought that the water you grasp is Zhou Yan’s fire, but did not think the grasp was him.
