1047: Chapter 1333: Deadlock 1047: Chapter 1333: Deadlock In the small bathroom, fresh water kept falling from the shower head.
Lu Ping’an bathed beneath it, rinsing off the blood and sweat from his body.
He didn’t have a compulsion for cleanliness, but still, after every killing, as long as conditions allowed, he would find a place to wash himself….
“Xiao Mu, don’t you want to join in for a bath?”
Outside the open bathroom door, there was another mud-covered child who needed a bath.
The little one actually won as well, and quite effortlessly….
But facing a desperate Fighter, being unwounded and without any bloodstain was not very realistic.
The wounds weren’t severe; Lu Ping’an had already bandaged them up.
But it was a bit troubleso for soone with an arm injury to wash alone; in Lu Ping’an’s view, it was better to simply wash together.
“No thanks, old per…..
Brother Lu, Grandpa Mu said that a girl should bathe by herself.”
“Tsk, calling yourself a girl at eight years old….
Alright then, let’s keep it simple.
Kid, wrap yourself in a towel and co here, I’ll help you wash your hair.”
“…I really don’t need to.”
“Why are you being polite with ?”
Watching the little girl defy orders, Lu Ping’an wrapped a towel around himself and dashed out soaking wet.
He picked up the struggling girl and sniffed…
Ugh, none of that fragrance from the novels, but sweat and the sll of blood were certainly there.
“…..You’re stinky yet you refuse to bathe.
Don’t worry, I’m very good at washing.”
Saying so, he carried the little one in without any regard, and then gave her a vigorous scrub.
Don’t get the wrong idea, he had no interest in the little one, who couldn’t tell left from right, he was only intent on washing her hair, but even so, he t with strong resistance.
A punch landed on his face, and it hurt…..
“Stop ssing around.
Two-headed Snake…..”
But when Lu Ping’an revealed his “tentacles”, the little one surrounded by them instantly cald down.
This ti, Lu Ping’an managed to wash her hair and quickly wiped the parts that could be washed, then left himself…
leaving the little one blushing, to wash the remaining parts herself.
After nearly half an hour, when the little one erged dragging her feet, she was still all red….
but looking at Lu Ping’an yawning and reading on the bed, Xiao Mu inexplicably felt angry and annoyed.
“Don’t you care at all…”
Care?
What are you talking about?
Lu Ping’an touched the back of his head, clueless.
The little one paused, then squeezed out a question.
“Eve…..
Eve’s dayti challenge to you, do you really not care?”
“Heh, as if we wouldn’t fight if she didn’t challenge .
We would still duke it out if we t at the festival, right?
There’s no difference.”
Lu Ping’an stroked his chin, looking completely indifferent.
As for whether he truly didn’t care, that was another matter.
With that, he stood up and picked up the little one, checking…
“Hmm, slls nice and clean…”
A sniff made the little girl go crazy again…
but it was still aningless, as Lu Ping’an just checked her armpits and neck, the areas which were hard to wash, ensuring that she indeed had good upbringing and rigorous training, being able to wash herself thoroughly, then he put her down.
“….
As for Eve, let’s take it one step at a ti.”
For now, that seed to be the only thing to do.
The only consolation was that “Eve” was truly only ‘ten years old’, so her strength wouldn’t be overly exaggerated, at least, there wouldn’t be the crushing pressure of a Rule-level opponent.
“Eve isn’t Rule-level, right?”
“…..No, but they all are naturally equipped with ‘rules’, of course, not like the real Rule-level ones, you could consider them as freely usable Rule-level Props, very dangerous…”
If it really ca down to it, all Lu Ping’an could do was to prepare for battle seriously.
“…
Brother Lu?”
The sullen little girl suddenly ca up close, her face full of hope and unease.
“What?”
“You…
If you win, will you kill Little Eve?”
“I….”
Opening his mouth, faced with those innocent eyes, Lu Ping’an didn’t know how to respond.
Always, he had been “indifferent to justifications,” aning that as long as soone wanted to kill him, regardless of their seemingly honorable reasons or if they were weak, sick, or disabled, he would show no rcy.
“Kid, adult matters are none of your business.”
Ultimately, it seed that was all he could say in response.
It appeared he hadn’t figured it out either.
“…..” The initially indignant little girl eventually nodded her head and said no more.
No matter how, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words, “Don’t kill her, even if she wants to kill you.”
And with such an episode, Lu Ping’an’s mood deteriorated further….
“Big Cat…..”
This ti, his query remained unanswered.
It seed Big Cat’s dilemma was even more absurd.
While Lu Ping’an was caught in a delicate deadlock, under the sa moonlit night, soone else was restless.
She gazed at the bright moon outside the window, its light spilling onto her silky golden hair; in the pure eyes of the young girl, inevitably, complex emotions that were too much for her arose.
She rembered the joyful tis dragging that big boy around everywhere to play.
She liked to see his reluctant face, sighing with no choice but to follow her.
She rembered the fun nights when she and Little Girl rummaged through his room, devoured all his snacks, and then forced him to go out and buy more.
Both bouncing on the bed and creating vibrations, it was also a fun way of getting back at the bed’s owner for not buying sweets.
She rembered the man…
when he would occasionally look at her silently, in his calm and listless gaze, there was a strangeness and even fear-inducing sincerity.
How long had it been since soone looked at her like that…
“Heh, never, right….”
She spread out her arms, trying to grasp the moonlight that surged into her room, yet she caught nothing.
After all, she also rembered that woman, that bastard, that Sect Leader who was not at all a “mother”…
“Hmph, you’re progressing so slowly, co here, train with .
Without the ability to protect yourself, how can you survive?”
That cruel and indifferent woman never disguised her sinister motives, yet she never neglected her sisters’ studies.
While grumbling, she pushed her sisters to work hard, but she could also see and rember each sister’s smallest progress.
She rembered again….
“….Mother’s Day?
I’m not your mother; at best, I’m just a sister by blood….
Amusent park?
We don’t need such weakness…”
Half an hour later…..
“….I’m going to XX mountain to collect specins; do you want to co with ?
It seems to be in full bloom right now….”
The woman was never a good mother nor a good family mber.
But she certainly always paid attention to them, rembered them….
She was strict, a bastard, selfish, ruthless, but occasionally, just occasionally…
“….Sotis, Mum would smile at us…”
Under the moonlight, a drop of water fell unnoticed.
She had originally not believed that the person could truly be dead…
but now, the reality was in front of her….
“…I, I, what should I do….Who’s there!”
And suddenly, the disturbed girl beca furious.
With one grab, the whole steel wall shot up into the sky.
And a young voice responded to her.
“Hey, girl…
uh, Bishop, we are not your enemies.”
The speaker was a man dressed like a cowboy, and behind him stood a priest with a more imposing presence.
“Isn’t there an Eastern saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
The man you’ve sworn to kill is our prey; perhaps we can beco very good friends….”
