CHAPTER 710: CHAPTER 709: CHEER UP, GIRL!

Lu Zixun, having returned to Demon Country, took a bath and then languidly sprawled on his bed, entering a mode of seclusion.

After the Six Layer World’s remains had merged, the Fusion World was about to enter a new phase in some sense.

Hence, increasing one’s strength was especially important.

At the very least, he had to enhance his power to E-level before the completion of the shift, or else Lu Zixun still would not feel secure.

Just as Lu Zixun was planning to watch a couple of episodes on TV and then sleep, a wave of drowsiness swept over him.

Lu Zixun slowly closed his eyes and, after a while, suddenly opened them.

A Nightmare was attempting to use Extraordinary Power to drag him into a dream.

Faced with such offensive behavior, Lu Zixun chose to resist.

In the Crimson Land, Yun Yanming, his face pale, opened his eyes.

He had only wanted to discuss some matters with Lu Zixun through this safe and secretive approach, not expecting that Lu Zixun had now grown this strong.

"It seems I’ll have to visit him in person tomorrow."

Yun Yanming, covering his chest and gasping for breath, had resignation written all over his face.

Lu Zixun, who was watching TV, was pondering in his mind who had tried to pull him into a dream.

A follower of the Bloody Moon—he seemed to know only a few.

After careful thought, Lu Zixun figured that it must have been Yun Yanming.

But why would Yun Yanming pull him into a dream?

Could it be that Yang Guohong had died, and he wanted to ally with Demon Country to divide the Crimson powers?

It was not impossible.

...

The next day, after absorbing Spiritual Ability Traits, Lu Zixun received a message from Hai Zhuming.

The Merfolk had located the position of the Underground Kingdom, three thousand kilometers away.

At the same time, Yun Yanming had come to visit.

Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow; indeed, it was Yun Yanming who had tried to pull him into a dream yesterday.

Initially intending to go directly to Snowfield Frost Land, Lu Zixun thought it over and decided to hear what Yun Yanming wanted to say.

"Lord Xun, I apologize for my impulsive behavior yesterday."

Yun Yanming started with an apology as soon as he arrived, his attitude utterly sincere.

"What is it?"

Nodding to show he had not taken it to heart, Lu Zixun asked.

"The recent movements of the Song Family, I wonder if Lord Xun would be interested."

"The Song Family?"

Although intrigued, he still had to play his part.

Lu Zixun showed a confused look in his eyes, pretending as if he did not know which family the Song Family was.

"A family with extremely strong Bloodline Power, originally settled in Crimson Land, but not long after, their residence was abandoned."

After giving a brief introduction, Yun Yanming continued, "This time, we’ve discovered the entrance to the Song Family Ruins and would like to request Lord Xun’s assistance."

"Crimson’s family business is vast, why would you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun raised an eyebrow, questioning in a slightly sarcastic tone.

However, Yun Yanming did not mind Lu Zixun’s tone and chuckled, saying, "We have already separated from Crimson, which is why we dared to seek Lord Xun."

Separated from Crimson?

Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes, realizing that in the eyes of these powers in the Fusion World, Demon Country and Crimson had reached a state of irreconcilable conflict.

Seeing that Lu Zixun did not reply, Yun Yanming continued, "Of course, we wouldn’t ask Lord Xun to help for nothing. In the Song Family Ruins, there is an item that can purify bloodlines, which surely would enhance Lord Xun’s strength significantly."

With a thoughtful look on his face, Lu Zixun had already made up his mind.

Demon Country had long been searching for the location of the Song Family, and this was a perfect opportunity.

"The risk is too great."

Shaking his head, Lu Zixun spoke calmly.

Hearing that Lu Zixun did not outright refuse, Yun Yanming knew there was a chance.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "On top of purifying bloodlines, we’ll also include an item suitable for use in the Forgotten Land."

Having only intended to test the waters, Lu Zixun was surprised that Yun Yanming had actually raised his offer.

While internally smirking, he also pondered what Yun Yanming wanted from the Song Family Ruins.

"Time."

"The Song Family seems to be searching for something in the Fusion World recently, so the sooner we handle this, the better. We’ve set the day after tomorrow, but the timing can be adjusted to suit Lord Xun."

Satisfied, Yun Yanming left Demon Country.

Lu Zixun sat, tapping his fingers on the table in deep thought.

It seemed the Song Family Ruins were not so simple; otherwise, Yun Yanming’s attitude wouldn’t have been so low.

If it required F-level strength to handle, Lu Zixun narrowed his eyes with interest.

Getting up, he told Ge Changming that he was going to make a trip to Snowfield Frost Land and then summoned the Night Evil Sword to head to Zone 20.

Arriving at the freezing Snowfield Frost Land.

He saw Hai Zhuming, whom he had not seen for a long time.

During this period, Hai Zhuming seemed to have matured a lot. The girlish naivety had disappeared from her face, replaced by the aloofness of a queen.

"Long time no see."

He raised a paw to greet her.

Seeing that it was Lu Zixun, a long-missed smile blossomed on Hai Zhuming’s face: "Long time no see, how have you been lately?"

"Not bad."

Jumping onto a chair, Lu Zixun licked his paw, "Now that you aren’t confined to the seabed, why do you spend all day there?"

"There are too many things to handle, and the people who can take charge are still in training; these matters can only be managed by me."

Smiling, Hai Zhuming shifted the topic, "I heard that Zone 20 is being transferred to Demon Country’s hands, is that true?"

"Indeed, we’ll be neighbors from now on."

Lu Zixun nodded, his ears twitching, "In the future, members of Demon Country might come to Snowfield Frost Land for training. I’ll need to trouble you to look after them."

"That’s only right."

Hai Zhuming nodded slightly and flicked her hair, "Let me finish up the tasks at hand, and then I’ll accompany you to the Underground Kingdom. I’m curious about what’s inside as well."

"Alright, I’ll watch TV while I wait for you."

The Merfolk, who came to report work to the Queen in her room, found to their surprise an additional cat on the chair. Though outwardly calm,

they were internally shocked: How did this cat get in here?!

However, since the Queen said nothing, the Merfolk didn’t dare to ask and quietly left after finishing their report.

But the rumor that the Queen liked cats started circulating among the Merfolk.

"Alright, let’s go."

After finishing the last document, Hai Zhuming stretched and complained, "Doesn’t Demon Country have a lot to deal with? How come you seem to have nothing to do all day and still have time to watch TV?"

"There’s a lot, but I only handle the fights; I leave the rest to others."

Putting away his phone, Lu Zixun laughed, "Hang in there, girl, for a better tomorrow."
