Chapter 755 - 336: The Grand Plan, Gifts, and Jumping the Gun (3)
Wu Chang sighed. When the issue of insufficient Power of Faith came up, he had already guessed that He Yun might take such action.
What He Yun asked him to help with was actually the same issue.
That was to integrate the Underground Shelter into Erin’s large Divine Kingdom, which was also his reason for coming.
However, before he could bring it up, He Yun mentioned it first.
He showed a troubled expression and said:
"There’s a method, but you might not be willing."
He Yun said, "What method?"
Wu Chang briefly explained to He Yun about the large Divine Kingdom he and Erin were constructing, and the recent events occurring in several planes.
"Just like the Gao Mu Country and the Ogre Kingdom, once the Underground Shelter is merged into the large Divine Kingdom, the planes within the Divine Kingdom will be connected."
"By then, I can take you to my cousin’s plane, and I can also allow Erin to absorb Power of Faith here. However..."
He Yun asked in confusion, "However what, doesn’t she want to come?"
Wu Chang shook his head, "It’s not her problem, it’s yours. As I mentioned earlier, Erin has a strong charisma, and I worry that her coming to the Underground Shelter might affect your position as leader."
He Yun replied indifferently:
"If everyone thinks she is more suitable to be the leader than me, I can completely give her this position."
Wu Chang curiously looked at He Yun. He could see that He Yun truly didn’t care.
"You’ve worked so hard on this place for such a long time, pouring your heart into it and facing numerous dangers. If someone snatched it away, wouldn’t you feel unwilling?"
He Yun naturally replied:
"My pursuit is the end of science, not to be a king in the underground space. If her arrival can make this place better and aid my research, then that’s even better."
"If you need, I can even hide our relationship so she won’t find out."
Wu Chang couldn’t help but ask:
"Won’t you get jealous?"
He Yun smiled and looked at Wu Chang, asking in return, "Jealous? Of you, or the Underground Shelter?"
Wu Chang’s thoughts were exposed, and after a moment of guilty silence, he responded, embarrassed and annoyed:
"Both."
He Yun stepped in front of Wu Chang and slowly said:
"I don’t like doing meaningless things. You once said that her existence is bound to yours. If I say I don’t like her, would you give her up for me?"
"Obviously not, and even if I force a choice, I would be the one to lose. Instead of focusing on a battle I will undoubtedly lose, why not use your guilt to gain advantages in other areas?"
Wu Chang said helplessly, "Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to discuss calculating me so openly?"
He Yun leaned in closer to Wu Chang and asked, "Will you feel guilty?"
Wu Chang scratched his head and said, "Honestly, I will. So, I prepared a gift."
He Yun asked curiously, "What gift?"
Wu Chang took out the chairman’s badge of Hymn Company and a ring-shaped Deep Sea Sinking Iron, pinning the badge on the ring and putting it on He Yun as a ring.
"Previously, when you gave me the Underground Shelter, I didn’t have anything to give in return. Wear this, and you’re a board member of my cousin’s company. You can use it when we go over."
He Yun looked at the badge ring, or rather, the ring itself, and blushed, "Is this the hush money you’ve prepared for me?"
Wu Chang looked puzzled, "What hush money?"
He Yun blinked and teased, "The hush money for hiding our relationship."
Wu Chang shook his head, "I haven’t prepared to hide any relationship. What’s been done is done, what should I not admit to?"
Kids choose, adults want it all.
He Yun looked at Wu Chang in surprise and said, "But many people, including Erin, would find your actions a bit out of line."
Wu Chang wrinkled his nose, snapped his fingers, and the next moment, a title shimmering with rainbow effects appeared above his head.
"Violator."
He Yun gazed up at the words above Wu Chang’s head, which somewhat exceeded her understanding.
She couldn’t fathom what those three words represented. The strokes composing those words seemed to subtly align with the world’s truths, very mystical.
"Violator, what does this mean?"
Wu Chang said proudly, "This is proof from the world that allows me to act out of line. My existence is meant to break all kinds of rules."
He Yun looked at the title ’Violator,’ smiled, and shook her head, "I seem to like the you now, wanting to break all the rules. Didn’t you just say that what’s done is done, nothing to be shy about, right?"
Wu Chang took back the dazzling title above his head and instinctively replied, "Of course."
He Yun leaned closer to Wu Chang, asking softly, "What did you do?"
"I..." Wu Chang was momentarily speechless, standing there with his mouth open. Yes, what did he do.
The next moment, He Yun directly sealed his lips.
After a deep kiss that almost suffocated even Wu Chang, a Deep Sea Alien Species, he gasped and asked:
"Wait, aren’t we rushing things?"
He Yun unlocked the bedroom’s lock with an ambiguous tone, "You’re so flustered, haven’t you made a move on Erin?"
Wu Chang replied, "I’m a gentleman."
He Yun gave him a firm push, knocking Wu Chang onto the bed.
"Gentleman, I like that. Since I can’t follow you around like her, as the neglected one, sneaking in a little, shouldn’t it be reasonable?"
Wu Chang was at a loss for words, awkwardly stating, "I still advocate fair competition."
He Yun shook her head and picked up a tablet from the bedside, opening up a research document.
"Alright then, I can only wait for fair competition in the future."
Wu Chang got up, grabbed He Yun’s wrist, and awkwardly chuckled, "Actually, it doesn’t have to be so fair, after all, I’m a ’Violator’."
In the time that followed, Wu Chang felt as if he had returned to the Lost Continent, in the mindset of watching Martial Star Monarch’s martial arts.
Every move seemed to connect directly to the source of Life, in a profound yet comprehensible way. The theoretical knowledge accumulated over more than twenty years gradually transformed into practical experience, creating a sense of enlightenment.
Practice yields true knowledge; at that moment, he finally understood why, in the dorm, Fang Hui was dismissive of Lao Si’s various insights.
It turns out that what the teacher lectured in class was right, a good memory is no match for a bad pen. Just learning is not as good as practicing more.
In the great harmony of Life, Wu Chang learned a lot in life’s path, becoming an adult overnight.
Deep in the night, Wu Chang held He Yun, lost in beautiful dreams.
He was about to revisit the knowledge he just learned in his dream when suddenly the scene shifted, and the robust and tight He Yun turned into a middle-aged man with a bloodstained face.
Such a drastic change instantly woke Wu Chang from his dream.
Bad luck, how is it that every time I come to the Underground Shelter, I find this guy being hunted down.
