Luna.
Dressed in fluffy winter clothes, a beautiful girl with a voluptuous figure landed in his hands—Ren Suo imdiately recognized her as his ga character. Her sky-blue hair was too conspicuous, instantly adding a fairytale flavor to this bizarre moonlit world.
Upon seeing the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe above, Ren Suo imdiately realized that this was the beginning part of the ga's storyline: Luna had stolen the first Silver Moon Crystal and was exhaustedly fleeing, but she was seriously injured by the well-prepared swordsn with a single strike!
Ren Suo had co this ti precisely to find out who was the opportunist that had stolen Luna's Silver Moon Crystal. He never expected that after Luna fainted, she would actually end up in his hands. Moreover, the very sa Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe that had seriously wounded Luna was now attacking them!
Ren Suo's combat sense was strong.
Though he did not know where this combat intuition had been honed, it did not stop Ren Suo from quickly entering a combat-ready state.
Panic and hesitation completely left his brain, and his body moved naturally—he shook his hands and hoisted the falling Luna onto his right shoulder, while simultaneously grabbing Gu Yueyan around the waist with his left hand and imdiately activated "Ghostly Rapid Step" to dodge!
In The Dark Side of the Moon, his props and abilities could all be used normally. "Mage's Death-Defying Feather" and "Ghostly Rapid Step" were always ready as permanent props and abilities, prepared to escape at any mont.
But the reason the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe could seriously injure Luna was not only because Luna wasn't much stronger than an ordinary person, but also because they indeed possessed the… power to crush Luna!
And unlike the single person who attacked Luna, this ti the attackers were the entire troupe coming at Ren Suo all at once!
The bitter chill of Sword Qi, the scorching Fire Hamr, and the sharp Ice Crystal descended from the sky!
His combat sense was strong, but the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe were no less formidable. They enveloped him with attacks from all directions, nearly sealing off all of Ren Suo's escape routes in an instant.
Ren Suo took all the attacks into account, naturally finding the direction with the least hits to break through. He slightly shifted Luna and Gu Yueyan to dodge the damaging attacks while his body conjured "Gauze Clothing" to prepare for defense.
Just when Ren Suo tensed up, ready to withstand the impact, Gu Yueyan suddenly reached out her hand towards the sky and shouted, "You idiot!"
In an instant, the ice cones, Fire Hamrs, and Sword Qi quietly dissipated, leaving both the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe and Ren Suo stunned.
Who was she calling an idiot?
Although he did not know what trickery they were up to, the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe certainly had no intentions of showing rcy or feeling Fear as they continued to ferociously attack Ren Suo!
However, all their attacks dissipated into nothingness the mont Gu Yueyan spoke!
"Why are you so dense!"
"Why aren't you lazy when you should be!"
"Why do you express kindness that is impossible to refuse?"
"Why aren't you a scumbag?"
"Why do you always get into stories with others?"
"Why can't you… ever make angry?"
Though all attacks vanished into thin air, the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe still swiftly closed in on Ren Suo. He was, after all, carrying two people as he ran and was unfamiliar with the terrain, scrambling about like a crab caught in a hot pot.
They knew Transcendent attacks would be ineffective, so they chose to rush forward, trying to use sharp blades to tear Ren Suo apart!
At this mont, Ren Suo earnestly kept his head down and fled, wondering who Gu Yueyan was scolding.
Dense, not lazy when one should be—these phrases seed unrelated to ... But I heard a key term: "scumbag." Was Gu Yueyan scolding Zhao Huo?
Seeing the enemies drawing closer and closer, Gu Yueyan also beca frantic, closing her eyes, biting her lip and shouting, "I hate you the most, why do you have to be liked by so many people!?"
The blade about to fall on Ren Suo was suddenly influenced by a mysterious force, reversing its path directly back, causing the handso leading swordsman to also stall for a mont.
It wasn't an annihilation of the attacks, but rather... a reversal of the attacks!
But the weakness is obvious! The attacks can only be reversed if that jerk's companion speaks first. In other words, as long as our attacks are faster than the jerk's companion, we can succeed!
"Alternate attacks, wave formation!" the handso swordsman commanded, and the other mbers of the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe ceased their assault, preparing to attack Ren Suo one after another.
Seeing this situation, Gu Yueyan couldn't help but feel helpless.
I just gained the Moon God's Miracle, which allows to directly cancel an opponent's action, but the cost is that I must shout a heartfelt truth that can't be repeated.
If I had planned to use this Miracle, I might have prepared a plethora of heartfelt truths to activate it. But I hadn't anticipated a battle when I arrived, and now, with this lightning-quick offense and defense, the only heartfelt truths I can find are naturally related to Ren Suo.
"You really look stupid when you smile."
"You're really shaless when you ask for favors."
"Why do you always scrounge als?"
"How can you imrse yourself in your hobbies all day?"
Gu Yueyan, nearly exhausting all the heartfelt thoughts in her mind, clung to Ren Suo's neck. Facing another attack from the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe, she bit her lip and said, "But why is it that I happen to like..."
"...Brother!?"
The sharp sword tip suddenly withdrew, not because of the Miracle's influence, but because the handso swordsman drew his sword and slashed at the other ancient swordsn, knocking them down to stop their next wave of attacks!
Ren Suo was also startled when he heard the word "brother" and hurriedly stopped in his tracks, turning his head to look at the leading handso swordsman closely—he really did bear so resemblance to Gu Yuexuan!
It was as though he had undergone minor costic surgery!
At this point, Ren Suo also noticed that Gu Yueyan was slightly different from her real self, having beco cuter and more beautiful. He and Gu Yueyan t almost every morning and evening, which is why Ren Suo could easily recognize her without a doubt.
For a minor character like Gu Yuexuan, who had only appeared once in Ren Suo's life, recognizing him with a modified face would have been a miracle. This was especially true since he was dressed like a villain from the Ming Dynasty, as if he had just walked out of a film and television park. Ren Suo was such a normal student that he couldn't even recognize all his teachers; he greeted everyone with the universal phrase, "Good morning, teacher."
"Sister... sister?" Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan, staring at Gu Yueyan being held by Ren Suo, blankly asked, "You, you... Wow, sister, you're so cute!"
When Gu Yueyan was let down by Ren Suo, a glimpse of the stunning view under her cloak was inadvertently revealed. Blushing, she hid behind Ren Suo and asked, "Brother, did you also enter this world?"
"What do you an 'enter this world'?" Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan replied blankly, and then seriously added, "Sister, co over here and watch as Brother defeats that scoundrel. First, I'll give him a taste of our power so that he won't dare to bully..."
"There's no need!" Gu Yueyan promptly interrupted Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan and asked again, "Brother, then what... what are you doing?"
"I am patrolling with a group of brothers; I am a hero!" Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan declared proudly. "Just now, there was a fight over there, and my brothers and I locked down the criminals' escape route from afar. We ambushed them at their only escape path to severely injure them... including that scoundrel with the woman on his back!"
It dawned on at that mont: no wonder Luna encountered the Ancient Swordsn Dance Troupe no matter where she fled in the ga—they were targeting Luna for a sneak attack!
Hearing this, Gu Yueyan also understood that Gu Yuexuan hadn't literally entered The Dark Side of the Moon but was rely a projection of reality within this dream. Her spirits imdiately sank.
"So sister, co over here. I will take care of this scoundrel for you..."
"No need!" Gu Yueyan said decisively. "Brother, you should go back!"
Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan was taken aback. "What about you?"
"I... I will go with him." Gu Yueyan's voice lowered, but rembering that this was just her brother's projection, she raised her voice again, "You should not worry about anymore. I need to live with him now."
Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan was shocked. He took a serious look at Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan, then asked a curious question, "Are you wearing these clothes because of him?"
"No!" Ren Suo denied.
"So what if I am!" Gu Yueyan challenged.
Ren Suo glanced at Gu Yueyan, who mouthed: *Hurry and send him away. He's just a projection anyway.*
Gu Yueyan's words indeed had a profound effect. Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan trembled all over, his face filled with sorrow. Slowly sheathing his sword, he glanced reluctantly at Gu Yueyan, his body losing all energy as he turned with the others to leave. After a few steps, he turned back to Ren Suo and said, "If you dare mistreat my sister, I will definitely kill you."
When he said those words, his deanor instantly switched from that of a dejected old dog to an icy, venomous one, scaring Ren Suo so much he almost wanted to raise three fingers and swear an oath to the moon.
Watching them depart, Ren Suo marveled at life's wonders. I was planning to keep running for a while longer before dropping Gu Yueyan and Luna, then lead the swordsn away myself. I would have resorted to the "Mage's Death-Defying Feather" for a suicidal escape, risking so internal injuries to shake them off.
But Gu Yuexuan's projection turned out to be here, and his real-life relationship with Gu Yueyan was carried over into The Dark Side of the Moon. With just a word from Gu Yueyan, he was easily dismissed.
Ren Suo suddenly rembered sothing and asked, "Why did you suddenly curse at soone just now?"
Gu Yueyan turned her head away, avoiding his gaze, and said, "I... I just received a kind of Miracle power, the effect of which is that I can retract soone else's actions, but I must pay a price..."
Ren Suo nodded in understanding. Gu Yueyan was an Apostle of the Moon God, so it was natural for her to receive Miracles. However, I had subconsciously seen myself as Gu Yueyan's protector and forgotten that Gu Yueyan, with her Miracles, was my Golden Thigh.
"Is the price severe?" Ren Suo asked with concern. "Will it have any adverse effects on you?"
"There shouldn't be any..."
"By the way, who were you cursing at just now?"
Gu Yueyan turned her head to look at Ren Suo, composed her expression, and asked with a blink, "Didn't you realize who I ant?"
"No," Ren Suo honestly replied. "Stupid, slow, likable... those are common enough, but the key word 'scumbag,' I really can't figure it out. Could it be Bai Ji or Zhao Huo?"
Gu Yueyan was silent for a mont before saying, "Actually, I was scolding the tomcat in the girls' dormitory. It's always acting cute, yet it chases after other female cats to mooch off them daily and flirts around in their group."
"Are there that many cats in the academy..." Ren Suo scratched his head. "Let's head back then... Luckily, our place is quite conspicuous; we just need to look for it and walk."
"Wait."
Gu Yueyan pointed at the blue-haired beauty Ren Suo was carrying, "What about her?"
Brocade Guard Gu Yuexuan had left without taking so much as a cloud, nor did he inquire about Luna.
Seeing that Ren Suo seed to still want to carry the blue-haired beauty ho, Gu Yueyan quickly reminded him, "Don't you have other things to take care of first?"
Ren Suo had a sudden realization: "Right!"
Ren Suo finally isn't acting on impulse again, Gu Yueyan thought, watching with a lightened heart as Ren Suo set down the unconscious blue-haired beauty.
Then Ren Suo cheerfully unfastened the blue-haired beauty's coat, lifted her sweater, and reached toward her chest...
A strong hand grabbed Ren Suo's sinful hand, and he turned his head to see Gu Yueyan with a frosty expression. He tilted his head, seemingly confused, "Hm?"
"Mr. Suo, what are you doing?" Gu Yueyan asked word by word, her eyes piercing him like swords.
"Just checking on her," Ren Suo answered matter-of-factly.
This statent didn't seem to have any problems, but considering Ren Suo's hand was already close to the blue-haired beauty's peaks, even a police officer wouldn't believe his tall tale.
Gu Yueyan's anger flared up even more—does he think he can do whatever he wants in a dreamscape?
"What you're doing is a cri," Gu Yueyan said, holding back her rage.
Ren Suo thought about it and nodded, "Yes, it is! But I can do this because it's what I deserve, and she will co to accept that."
Seeing Ren Suo so unabashed, Gu Yueyan wondered if among all the curses she had hurled, only "Why aren't you a scumbag?" had actually struck a chord with him.
Does saving soone give you the right to do whatever you want with them?
But then again, you've saved twice!
"I'm right beside you; don't you think about how I feel?" Gu Yueyan's heart chilled towards Ren Suo, and she even considered calling her brother back. She said disheartenedly, "If you say this is what you deserve... then don't touch her, let do it."
"Let you do it?" Ren Suo blinked, smiling, "Sure, I also think it's better to let you do it; you are indeed the most suitable person."
Looking at Ren Suo's eager face, Gu Yueyan suddenly felt empty inside and collapsed to the ground, asking, "Do it here?"
"If we go back, it'll be a long night with too many dreams."
"Well... okay then."
After all, it's just a dreamscape... Gu Yueyan closed her eyes. She had always wanted to be thoroughly disappointed in Ren Suo, but never expected it to happen when they were both forcibly embroiled as Apostles of the Moon God.
The more dangerous, the more insane? Just like in those post-apocalyptic novels Xianyu reads, when people face uncertainty, do they show their darkest side?
But even so, I still hold a sliver of expectation for Ren Suo: he's just joking, he won't really touch her...
Suddenly, Gu Yueyan felt her hand being grabbed, that familiar warmth making her body tremble slightly.
"Let help you," as Ren Suo's voice sounded, Gu Yueyan felt him grasping her hand, touching a fiery hot body.
Was it actually this kind of play!?
Just as Gu Yueyan's anger and disappointnt were about to burst forth, her hand suddenly touched sothing soft and extrely elastic.
This texture, this position...
Could it be... could it be... that Ren Suo is a woman!?
Gu Yueyan opened her eyes, only to see Ren Suo taking her hand to touch the unconscious blue-haired beauty. At that mont, a silver light flashed across the chest of the blue-haired beauty, and then Gu Yueyan felt a chill in the palm of her hand.
She turned over her palm and saw a teardrop-shaped silver-white gemstone lying in it.
At the sa ti, information about the gemstone flowed into Gu Yueyan's mind.
"As expected, I just knew the storage thod for the Silver Moon Crystal wouldn't be simply carrying it around. With more than twenty Silver Moon Crystals, there aren't enough pockets for them. So they are indeed hidden inside the body, able to be taken out when touched by another Angel Envoy..." Ren Suo said excitedly, "Yueyan, does this gemstone have any special effects?"
Gu Yueyan looked at him and replied, "This gemstone is called 'Glimr.' It can enhance my awakened spells, and it also protects from other Angel Envoys' Miracle Detection..."
"Good!" Ren Suo clenched his fist and laughed, "With this gemstone, you'll definitely get through this trial safely!"
Seeing Ren Suo so happy, Gu Yueyan looked again at the unconscious blue-haired beauty and asked, "Just now... were you looking for her Silver Moon Crystal?"
"Yeah, didn't you notice? She was stunned by your brother while escaping with the Silver Moon Crystal. We saved her from your brother, so taking a little reward isn't too much, right?" Ren Suo said. "If we hadn't cared for her, her Silver Moon Crystal would inevitably have been picked up by soone else... So, she's actually gained from this!"
"But I didn't intend to snatch the Silver Moon Crystal..."
"Yueyan, to be prepared is to be established; not to prepare is to fail. We didn't intend to snatch the Silver Moon Crystal, but having one or two on hand at least ans we have so bargaining chips. Who knows when they might co in handy," Ren Suo started his spiel. "And the effect of this Silver Moon Crystal happens to protect us from Miracle Detection... That's to say, if we didn't have this Silver Moon Crystal, we'd risk being discovered by other Angel Envoys."
"To keep a low profile ans you can be high profile at any ti; you should have a trump card to protect yourself."
This was actually just a prevarication. The real reason was that I knew I was the opportunist in the ga who took Luna's first Silver Moon Crystal. Although I didn't know why the ga had arranged it this way, I was pleased to see it unfold. Luna was bound to achieve a Perfect ending, and I had no interest in changing the details of her path to Divine Enthronent.
Gu Yueyan fell silent for a mont, clenched the Silver Moon Crystal to her chest, and said, "Thank you."
"Helping you is helping . We are in the sa boat now..."
Wow!
As Gu Yueyan suddenly embraced him, Ren Suo's body instantly stiffened. He hesitated for a mont, then patted Gu Yueyan's small head and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. We will leave this dreamscape safely. Don't be afraid."
"Mmhmm, I'm not afraid, I trust you."
Ren Suo smiled and stood up, saying, "Alright, let's go back."
Gu Yueyan, looking at Ren Suo as he picked up the blue-haired beauty again, asked in surprise, "We are taking her back with us?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
Ren Suo thought about it. This really wasn't easy to explain. I certainly couldn't reveal that I wanted 'the ga plot to progress smoothly.'
I now fully understood the character I had to play, but there were still so questions in my mind. I needed to observe Luna's reaction to get answers.
"She's hurt, plus she's a blue-haired beauty, how can we just leave her on the street?"
Gu Yueyan's gaze slowly grew colder.
I really thought you weren't in heat.
