Chapter 86 Lu Linglong Forcefully Pushes the Minister of Magic!
At the exit outside the competition venue, the young members of the Lu Family Team immediately surrounded Lu Xiaobai.
From the first time they met this mysterious young man, to witnessing his two incredible matches at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, their curiosity grew like a snowball.
Weapon refiner? Pharmacist?
And then there are those unheard-of, miraculously effective magical techniques—
All of this is concentrated on a boy who looks younger than them, even a bit "weak"? That's so strange!
Especially Wang Ergou.
Back then, in order to perfect his "Rainbow Flow", he traveled all over the world and saw all kinds of "extraordinary schools", and had heard about all sorts of strange methods.
But the spells that Lu Xiaobai displayed were unlike anything he had ever seen before, let alone heard of!
It felt like opening a completely new and unfamiliar atlas of extraordinary beings.
After eliminating all known possibilities, the remaining answer, though surprising, seems to be the only explanation.
"Xiao Bai!" Wang Ergou pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses gleaming with a thirst for knowledge.
"What are the names of all those magical spells you use? And those potions, that ability to conjure objects out of thin air—did you invent all of those yourself?"
Faced with the intense gazes of the crowd, Minister of Magic Lu Xiaobai subconsciously shrank back, his social anxiety kicking in, and his voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum: "Some—I guess so."
"What about a name? It has to have a name, right?"
Zhi Jinhua couldn't help but lean forward and ask, trying to get even closer like Lu Linglong.
Before they could even get close, Lu Linglong, who was standing next to them, quickly grabbed them and pulled them back.
Lu Linglong glared at her angrily, with a silent warning in her eyes.
Seeing this, Zhi Jinhua could only scratch her head awkwardly, but still unwilling to give up, she continued to ask, "That one! The one where you drew in the air and then conjured up lots of purple threads to trap the snake fairy! What's it called?"
The Minister of Magic hesitated for a moment, then answered in a low voice, "Um—rune."
"Runic incantations?!" Wang Ergou's voice rose instantly, filled with disbelief.
"Aren't these the runes used by Odin, the king of the gods, in Norse mythology?! Could it be that—the legends are true?! That—gods really exist in this world?!"
Wang Ergou was so excited that his voice trembled and his body shook involuntarily.
"god?!!"
"There really is a God?!"
"My God!"
Wang Ergou's earth-shattering shout instantly ignited the curiosity of everyone in the Lu family troupe!
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
The way everyone looked at Lu Xiaobai completely changed, filled with an almost worshipful thirst for knowledge and a burning desire for gossip.
That look seemed to say:
Hey bro! I need some clarification! You're not leaving until I explain this clearly today!
"Uh—" Lu Xiaobai was startled by the scene and took a small step back. Looking at those eyes that seemed to say "Tell me quickly," he felt a chill run down his spine and could only brace himself and explain, "There should be—there should be, right?"
"Actually—it's roughly the same as the 'reaching heaven' realm in China, or the 'ascension' in ancient Egypt, or the 'Buddhahood' pursued in ancient India? It's just that the terminology is slightly different—"
His voice trailed off, his tone revealing obvious uncertainty and embarrassment at wanting to end the conversation.
"But aren't these all just things from legends and stories?"
Xiao Xiao frowned, looking puzzled.
The others nodded in agreement. Clearly, Lu Xiaobai's explanation was too vague; instead of clearing things up, it only made everyone more curious.
"Haha! That—"
Seeing this, Lu Linglong realized that if they continued chatting, Xiaobai might be "devoured alive" by these curious children, so she quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Um—we have something urgent to attend to!"
"You guys go watch the next match! I won't bother you anymore!"
Before she could finish speaking, she grabbed Lu Xiaobai's wrist, half-pulling and half-dragging him, and before anyone could react, she forcibly pulled the bewildered Minister of Magic out of the encirclement and quickly walked away into the distance.
Watching the two figures quickly disappear into the crowd, the members of the Lu Family Troupe looked at each other, speechless.
"That Lu Linglong! She's definitely acting out of guilt!"
Zhi Jinhua stomped her foot in anger and gritted her teeth, waving her fist at the air.
"Forget your friends for a pretty face! Absolutely! How despicable! I curse her to lose everything, even her underwear, next time she bets!"
'
Her expression was just like that of a little girl whose favorite toy had been taken away; she was extremely unhappy.
Yun, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and suddenly interjected, "Hey, Zhijinhua, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on Xiaobai too, would you?"
Zhi Jinhua was taken aback by the question, her face flushing slightly. Just as she was about to retort, "What nonsense are you talking about?", Bai Shixue interrupted her with a grin, "Hey, isn't it obvious!"
Bai Shixue crossed her arms, her face showing an expression of complete understanding.
"Xiao Bai's appearance and demeanor just now were exactly the kind of pale, delicate, and handsome young man popular in anime!" Okay? The key is that his strength is ridiculously strong, and his character seems superb too!
"Just think about how easily he can switch between those three incredible personality traits—tsk, you couldn't find one like that even with a lantern—"
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then blurted out a word, "—a truly exceptional, hidden gem of a boy?"
She paused, then her tone became even more direct: "Putting everything else aside, just look at that face! Which girl wouldn't be smitten? If Linglong hadn't acted quickly, I definitely would have given it a try!"
Bai Shixue looked serious, completely oblivious to the subtle glances from her companions.
What she said was actually very realistic.
The community of people with supernatural abilities is not large to begin with, and the mentality of respecting the strong and admiring the powerful is prevalent. Moreover, most people with supernatural abilities are not willing to find ordinary people as partners.
Within this small circle, a young man like Lu Xiaobai, who possesses top-tier looks, extraordinary abilities, and an exceptional personality, would undoubtedly become the focus of attention for the opposite sex.
Think about Zhuge Qing, Zhang Lingyu, and even Lu Linglong herself—which one of them doesn't have a huge fan base?
It can only be said that the young people in the "Outliers" circle are playing quite "diverse" games in their pursuit of "both talent and good looks".
On the other side, Minister of Magic Lu Xiaobai was being "forcefully" dragged by Lu Linglong, and they ran all the way to a secluded grove of trees behind the competition venue.
With Lu Linglong gripping his wrist tightly, the Minister of Magic could only follow step by step the stubborn yet somewhat anxious pink figure in front of him.
His blank face was filled with great confusion, and his fair cheeks were slightly flushed as the girl pulled him along.
"That...Linglong?"
He tentatively asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?"
Lu Linglong, who was ahead, seemed not to hear her and kept walking forward with her head down, her pace quickening.
The Minister of Magic looked back; the noise of the arena behind him had been completely shut out by the dense forest, and the surroundings had become unusually quiet.
He felt a strange sense of panic, and his wrist moved unconsciously, trying to gently break free.
Just then, the dragging force suddenly disappeared. Lu Linglong released his hand.
"Huh?" The Minister of Magic had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had a chance to turn around and ask.
An unexpected feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over me!
He felt a soft, warm, and fragrant body suddenly pounce on him, causing him to lose his footing and stumble backward.
His back slammed heavily against a thick tree trunk, while Lu Linglong pressed down on him in an almost "half-kneeling" position, one leg kneeling beside him, trapping him between the tree trunk and herself.
A hand with calloused skin, yet exceptionally soft, caressed his cheek, its fingertips trembling slightly but with undeniable strength.
The other hand rested on his slightly thin shoulder, holding him firmly in place.
"Xiao Bai————" Lu Linglong's voice rang out, lower than usual, with an indescribable hoarseness and heat.
The Minister of Magic was completely stunned. His mind went blank, and he could only stare blankly at the face so close to his.
Lu Linglong's face drew closer little by little.
The warm, sweet scent, unique to young girls, brushed against his nose and cheeks like feathers, tickling him.
Those usually vibrant pink eyes were now veiled with a layer of mist, clearly reflecting his blank and bewildered expression.
The pressure on my shoulder, the gentle caress on my cheek—all of this carried a strong sense of aggression and irresistibility.
At this moment, Lu Linglong's face showed only a resolute determination, as if she were making a desperate gamble.
The arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released!
