There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 96 Yaoxing's Boyfriend

He stood up abruptly: "Even disregarding this talent, now that I've broken through to the Flame Realm, our team's strength has increased significantly. In the end, the price for this shouldn't be simple, and the price for that feels a bit ominous. Let's talk about this talent later."

"Lu Ren, you—"

However, this time, Shen Yaoxing was interrupted by Lu Ren before she could finish speaking: "Besides, Miss, aren't you being a little too willful today?"

The girl was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What did you say?"

Shen Yaoxing looked at him with a puzzled expression, but Lu Ren, unlike his usual pretentious manner, spoke calmly, "Miss was being a little too willful today."

This was the first time Shen Yaoxing had seen Lu Ren like this, and she suddenly felt very uncomfortable, her brows furrowing slightly: "What do you mean I'm being a little willful today? Ultimately, isn't it because the triggering conditions for your talent are too strange?"

"Since that's the case, let's leave this talent aside for now. Why are we in such a hurry to verify it?"

"Who do you think I'm doing this for?"

"No matter who it's for, you should also consider what your teammates think, right?"

Shen Yaoxing felt that this guy had really taken the wrong medicine today, actually acting like this with her like this. It was rare for her, as she was usually so composed during the day, and her emotions were inexplicably fluctuating: "Did I not consider anyone's feelings? Did I keep pressuring Xiaoying when she said she didn't want to? And Ali is doing this willingly now—"

Ji Liguang was completely confused. Lu Youhe sensed that something was off. Jiang Yueying looked at Lu Ren and then at Shen Yaoxing, wanting to say something, but she wasn't dressed yet!

Before Lu Ren could say anything, someone came over from outside the courtyard and called out, "Yao, Yao Xing? Is Yao Xing awake?"

It was a woman's voice. Lu Ren recognized it as Shen Zhaozhao, the granddaughter of Shen Wangshu, whom he had met yesterday.

He looked at Shen Yaoxing and then read something from her eyes.

Just as Ji Liguang said, the two of them had a great understanding. Although they had only known each other for a little over two months, they could sometimes understand each other with just a glance.

They were asked by Shen Wangshu to pretend to be a couple during this time so that she, the granddaughter who liked Shen Yaoxing, would give up on them.

Normally this would be a simple matter, but the two of them had just had a minor argument and their emotions hadn't calmed down yet. Asking them to pretend to be a couple right now would be a complete disaster.

"Yao, Yaoxing, I'm in. Today, do you want to go for a walk around the city? This is your first time in Yan—"

The door was pushed open again, and a tall, dashing woman entered, but her expression was quite shy.

However, upon seeing another man inside, Shen Zhaozhao's shy expression vanished instantly. She raised an eyebrow, her tone turning sharp: "What are you doing here?"

A half-naked girl hugging a blanket was completely numb. Why were there more and more people in the room? Was today the day to unlock her special CG?

Lu Ren glanced at Shen Zhaozhao: "I'll go out first—"

He then pushed open the door and went out.

Lu Youhe and Ji Liguang looked at each other, while Shen Yaoxing's expression was not very good.

Jiang Yueying's eyes lit up, and she quickly threw off the covers to get dressed, but when she noticed Shen Zhaozhao's staring gaze, she swallowed hard, then silently hugged the covers and shrank back into the corner.

"What's wrong with this person? Why is he suddenly so angry?"

Shen Zhaozhao already disliked Lu Ren, but when she looked at Shen Yaoxing, she reverted to her shy demeanor, while also feeling somewhat unwilling, and asked, "Yao, Yaoxing, is he really, really your boyfriend—?"

Shen Yaoxing had already spoken with the people inside the room, explaining the matter her great-aunt had asked her to do, as well as the fact that the cousin in front of her was a lesbian, and that she had temporarily borrowed Jiang Yueying's fake boyfriend.

Shen Yaoxing snorted impatiently, saying indifferently, "Yeah, boyfriend and stuff."

Meanwhile, as Lu Ren left the girls' room and stepped into the courtyard, he gradually came to his senses.

Did I... have a fight with the young lady?

I don't think so. I didn't say anything too harsh. I was just a little angry. He could understand what the young lady meant. She was just testing his new ability.

But I just felt inexplicably uncomfortable, especially when the young lady casually told someone to try kissing her.

I can't believe I even got angry with a young girl; I'm really going backwards as I get older.

He sighed, looked up, and asked listlessly, "What would you have done as a mature adult in your past life?"

"Let's apologize to Shen Yaoxing when we get back, and remember to buy some desserts or something?"

"But I didn't do anything wrong. It's clearly the young lady who's being too willful and doesn't care about other people's opinions or feelings at all, right?"

"Although Shen Yaoxing looks very mature, she's still just a 17-year-old girl. Isn't it right to be so strict with someone her age?"

Lu Ren asked himself, and answered himself, "My past self was really reliable. My past life? My past life—I've been here for more than two months without even realizing it. To be honest, it's only been a little over two months."

Many things are still clear, but those emotions are impossible to recall, like the streaks left by torrential rain on the car window, which disappear without a trace as soon as the sky clears.

However, this new talent is really strange, as it requires kissing someone to trigger.

Moreover, this price is being ravaged by lust—doesn't that sound like something out of a pornographic novel? Has he somehow gotten the script for "The Phoenix of Evil"?

A sudden, unexpected morning breeze swept by, rustling the branches and causing autumn leaves to break free, swirling and dancing in the air.

Lu Ren slightly raised his hand to block the falling leaves, but among the leaves stood a boy dressed in a retro style.

The man let the leaves fall on him, looking melancholic, and reached out to catch one.

He suddenly sighed and asked, "Did the leaves fall because the wind pursued them, or because the tree didn't try to hold them back?"

"Where did this melancholic, eccentric guy from the non-mainstream era come from?" Lu Ren couldn't help but complain, "It must be because of abscisic acid."

The man was taken aback, looked at him, and asked, "Abscisic acid? What's that?"

"A chemical substance that causes leaves to fall off; you learn about it in high school biology."

"I see, it's because of abscisic acid—may I ask who you are? I don't recall ever seeing you in the Shen clan's territory before?"

"I came to the Yanzhou branch with Miss Yaoxing yesterday. My name is Lu Ren."

No wonder, no wonder.

"Um, what is your name, sir?"

"Gu Manman, this leaf is beautiful, Brother Lu, it's for you."

"————" Where did this strange person come from? Lu Ren casually took the leaf offered by the other person and pondered, "Surname Gu? Are you from the Gu clan?"

So you're not a member of the Shen family either? Then why do you say you've never seen me in the Shen family's territory?

"Yes, yes, Brother Lu must be wondering why I, a member of the Gu family, am here at the Shen family's place so early in the morning."

'

"—" I didn't intend to ask, "Excuse me, what brings you here—?"

"An elder in the clan passed away last night. I am here on behalf of the clan to inform the Shen family of the death."

"Oh, I see."

"Brother Lu must be wondering right now, 'Who in my clan has passed away?'"

"————" Lu Ren had heard that the people of the seven super clans were more or less abnormal.

Just like the Ji clan of Tiandu are all brutes who love to swear, the people of the Gu clan of Yanzhou are said to be a bit talkative.

Lu Ren reluctantly played along: "May I ask who in the clan has passed away?"

Gu Manman's face showed a trace of sadness. He sighed and said, "Last night, the clan's Supreme Elder, Gu Tong'er, passed away."

Lu Ren: "————" He said that he shouldn't have come with Long You and the others in the first place.
