Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1627: Chapter 205: Why Wasn’t I the One Hurt?

”Why?” Susu was utterly confused, ”They wanted to move voluntarily!

Why is Lady Cunlü going there?

Isn’t that a bit too deliberate?”

Snow Cloud Peak chuckled indifferently, ”What do you know?

Only by sending Lady Cunlü will someone have an abnormal reaction, and they will certainly try to influence her image!

If someone dares to cause trouble, let Hard Wind deal with them!

And then let Lady Cunlü heal those who accidentally get hurt!”

”Can we kill them?” The Old Age Striking King asked with curiosity.

”You can’t go!” Snow Cloud Peak said firmly.

”Don’t you need a control group?

Why?

Hard Wind still needs a knife to kill! But I can kill with just my fists, obviously I’m more intimidating!”

”No matter how fierce you are, you still look like a woman, a tigress is still female!

No two tigers can live on one mountain, unless they’re male and female, you should understand this!

If you don’t want to be used as a rival to Lady Cunlü, just behave.” Snow Cloud Peak was blunt.

”Then...” The Old Age Striking King glanced at the staircase where Susu stood, swallowing the words she was about to say... she wanted to understand why Susu could go, but sympathy as a woman made her refrain from asking further.

Really, Old Dog never hesitated to speak harshly, if he said something truly piercing, she couldn’t bear that responsibility.

”What are you here for?” Snow Cloud Peak asked as she fell silent... Elder always knew what was important, realizing her presence would affect the plan, she wouldn’t complicate things further.

”The training grounds will be finished by tomorrow morning and officially open.

This is the schedule arranged for Lady Cunlü and the other one, do you have any opinions?”

Snow Cloud Peak took the paper, a bit puzzled, ”Why are you delivering it? Don’t they have legs?

Forget it, leave the list with me, I need to see the negotiation times before deciding.

In the meantime, the days I’ve marked, Lady Cunlü should be by the beach.”

”Fine, I’ll pick it up tonight.” The Old Age Striking King nodded, not wanting to argue, and jumped off the walkway.

Susu awkwardly interrupted Hard Wind and Lady Cunlü’s embrace on the cliff... it seemed the couple was recording a video.

Knowing Snow Old Dog’s arrangements for them, Hard Wind and Lady Cunlü had to give up their rare alone time.

Following Susu, with Hard Wind calmly calling over several fully armed Knights, Lady Cunlü wore a radiant smile, but didn’t hold back her words: ”Old Dog, being a single dog, probably doesn’t understand that even old couples need moments of tenderness?

We’re... exhausted, carving out a bit of time...”

”Elder said nothing.” Susu spoke softly, ”Don’t worry, Old Dog would never understand, he’d just ask why you can’t go offline and be alone!”

”Sigh!” Lady Cunlü closed her mouth... As a founding member of the Black Rose, even finding her lover there, Old Dog surely didn’t know her better than the later-joining Susu.

After all, she had been forced to wander with Baldy.

”Hey, Susu...” Lady Cunlü whispered when Hard Wind went to assign tasks to the Knights, ”This is too hard, maybe you should give up...

I don’t mean the process, but even if there’s a result, it’s a bitter one!

Who could stay with him for a hundred years?

It’d drive you insane!”

Susu, knowing her intentions were clear to Lady Cunlü, wasn’t surprised, as the Old Age Striking King likely knew too. She just smiled slightly: ”I know.

Yet now, when I think of those hundred years, my fear mixed with anticipation.”

Her smile was bittersweet.

Lady Cunlü gently sighed: ”I understand; emotions are personal, and what others say is nonsense.

But you, observe the Paintbrush more.

I know you’re different from her, but in life, it’s wise to consider the worst outcome.

Stay cautious.”

She quickly finished speaking, then smiled radiantly at the returning Hard Wind: ”Feng... make sure to look handsome in the fight!

Last time, though powerful, was too gory—my mom won’t let me show it to our daughter.

For this one, let’s shoot it better, with the cliff scene, and cut something stylish for our daughter to admire.”

Originally wanting to ask what the two had been discussing, Hard Wind was instantly motivated, raising his shiny shield, looking around: ”No problem, just watch me!”

From his own window, Lucimar first saw a spirited, imposing Knight Commander with ”who dares provoke me” written all over his face.

Then his attention swiftly fell on the leisurely Lady Cunlü walking at the back, as bright as the most radiant summer sun... For paired photographs today, Lady Cunlü chose a red organza dress adorned with red roses.

Her jade-like skin vaguely showed through the red organza, with critical parts covered by layers of rose petals... but the elusive allure made it hard to look away.

Somehow, similar outfits had been seen on Undead Tribe girls these days, but their charm seemed distinct on this lady.

The Danboro Nobility wasn’t foolish, and at first feeling attracted to her, not just Lucimar, but many others used Sobriety Potion or spells on themselves, yet nothing changed.

Is this the allure of the Undead Tribe’s First Beauty?

Lucimar obviously couldn’t understand; he wasn’t a fashion designer.

Or maybe, in this world that only knew webs, even the women most concerned about clothes and accessories couldn’t grasp how the Undead Tribe made Lady Cunlü so unique.

The clothes of the girl from the Undead Tribe are, of course, the same, from the fashion designers at the Space-Time Company.

But what Lady Cunlü wears is specially bespoke.

The general version has patterns on the clothes made with somewhat coarse yarn piled together.

Yet the bespoke version for Lady Cunlü uses the finest silk, embroidered by hand.

The natural sheen of the silk is, of course, more eye-catching than ordinary clothes.

Every beautiful outfit that Lady Cunlü wears is either a sample piece from Bai Nishang... outfits that others can only buy after she’s worn them.

Or they are specially bespoke like this.

Otherwise, why would Lady Cunlü agree to such troublesome affairs?

Of course, she pays for them herself, just with a small privilege, as long as she’s not working for free.

A part-time worker who supports the family even needs to register as a delivery person just to buy some groceries for someone!

Lucimar’s genuine admiration made Lucy beside him feel a slight tremor in her heart, ”Lucy... your wife is much more beautiful than her, isn’t she?”

”Why would I compare a beauty to my mother?” Lucimar said with a strange tone, ”I’m not a pervert!

Mother is mother, regardless of beauty or ugliness, she’s still mother!

Who would look at their own mom with that kind of gaze?

Lucy, you don’t really have a problem, do you?

How could you ask such a stupid question!”

Lucy paused, not too happily said, ”I’m fine, there’s nothing wrong at all!

Where did I say something wrong?

The lady’s charisma is not something this elemental dummy can compare to?

Lucimar, if you detach the mother-son relationship, you should be able to see that!”

Lucimar touched his face, then looked outside, ”As long as it looks good, what I see is real.

As for the assumptions you mentioned, they are meaningless.

Lucy, though I am joking, you are indeed a bit too mentally tense lately, in the past, you would not have tangled with me over such unnecessary assumptions.”

Lucy touched her bracelet, ”I, the High Priest of the Silvermoon checked me several times, and said there was nothing wrong.

But I always feel something is not right, she’s so annoyed she doesn’t want to see me anymore.

Luckily, she still sells me Holy Water.”

Lucimar suddenly leaned in close, cupping her face in his hands, and gazed at her.

Then, amid Lucy’s violent heartbeat, he smiled gently, ”Ah, indeed, still the same.

What a pity...”

Lucy asked in a daze, ”What?”

”What a pity, I thought I could be your savior!” Lucimar released her, with an indifferent expression, ”Yet, still the same, right?”

Lucy looked at him somewhat strangely, ”I was originally saved by your wife, Lucy and your wife have long been my saviors!”

”Ha~” Lucimar turned his head to look out the window, ”Ah! It’s about to start a fight!

Hm?

Why is it Siegel?

Lucy... there’s no grudge between the Ismael Family and the Undead Tribe, right?”

Lucy immediately brushed away those strange feelings in her heart and leaned by the window, ”It really is Young Master Siegel!

Mm... Young Master Siegel has always liked beauties, he once pursued that Luciella, is he trying to show his strength in front of the Undead Tribe’s First Beauty?”

”Is he crazy?” Lucimar said with a strange tone, ”He’s not trying to collaborate with the Undead Tribe to mine energy resources in the desert city?

That Knight Commander holds a position in the Undead Tribe that is as significant as Thunder!”

”Who knows?” Lucy’s tone carried a hint of disdain, ”In the past, Young Master Siegel was very obsessed with beauty.

Even your wife...”

”What?”

”Nothing... hey hey, don’t be angry, Lucy.

At first when he asked to see her, your wife didn’t feel anything.

Then she realized something wasn’t right, and hasn’t seen him at home since.”

”Siegel, truly stupid to the extreme.

No wonder, in these years, he has become increasingly... incompetent and greedy.”

”Ah... damn it!” Lucy exclaimed, ”Young Master Siegel injured Earl Gavin O’Connor!

What should we do?

The Great Sage O’Connor was already dissatisfied with our Ismael Family...”

”No need to worry, Lady Cunlü is already healing him.

Ah... honestly, every movement, every smile is so perfect.

Why wasn’t it me who got injured?”
