Chapter 42: Shifting the Battlefield

  Early in the morning, Wu Yeru woke up from his cultivation, got out of bed and stretched his limbs, also stretching a lazy waist.

  "Huh? It's really strange, I actually broke through to intermediate swordsmanship last night without realizing it?! There weren't any signs before either, could it be the legendary yin-yang complementarity?! Wu Yeru subconsciously looked down and pulled open his pants for a glance, silently praising himself for being well-developed and having exceptional innate talent. If he continues at this rate, he'll be unstoppable in the future~!"

  "But now not even hair has grown, and it seems that the age of humanity is still a bit short. Moreover, I didn't do anything last night, did I?" Wu Yeyu scratched his head, turned around to look at Wen Xiyue who was still sleeping, "Could it be that my self-created Yin-Yang Harmony Heaven and Earth Five Elements Chaos Double Cultivation Method has automatically reached the top level, allowing me to absorb the essence of a woman's body through my skin? This is going against the rhythm of heaven!" Since I couldn't figure it out, I might as well not think about it.

  After finishing washing up, Wu Yeru found that Xueyue was still sleeping. He felt a bit strange and looked at the electronic clock. It was only a little after 4 o'clock! "It should be because of the breakthrough in cultivation?" he thought to himself uncertainly.

  Bored and listless, Wu Ye Yu went back to bed after finishing breakfast, with one hand holding the sleeping little loli and the other holding a fruit and biting into it. "The task time is three days, starting from the night before last, now only half of the time has passed. The first wave of assassin attacks was led by a Sword King-level expert, yesterday there were eight Sword Kings... Hmm! Tonight shouldn't be a Sword Emperor, right? After all, even if it's a big force, losing nine Sword Kings at once would still be quite painful. High-ranking experts are hard to cultivate and require a lot of time. Hmm~ I think this time they must have been wronged, if it were me, I would definitely come back for revenge."

  Thinking of this, Wu Ye Yu's face slightly sank, "This place shouldn't be safe either, right? Although we're already over a hundred meters underground..."

  After getting out of bed, Wu Ye looked around and thought that it was possible. A Sword Emperor-level expert wasn't someone who could be cultivated by just anyone. All the experts who had reached this realm were incredibly talented, and it was basically impossible for them to succeed by staying in one place and cultivating diligently. Therefore, these experts must have been extremely experienced, and if they didn't have some kind of trump card up their sleeve, it would be hard for people to believe what they said.

  It's still okay during the day, at least it feels safer. And assassins, generally only move at night when it's dark and windy, that's an iron rule. If it were to come tonight, if a Sword Emperor expert really came, what if they're good at tracking, then it would be bad, can't guarantee won't get trapped here.

  "Whoa! Looks like I still have to escape, after all my knowledge is too shallow. And when transferring, can't be careless, can't leave any traces! Hmm, that's what I'll do!" Wu Yueru, who always has a slight persecution complex, suddenly feels that this place doesn't seem very safe either, so he quickly wakes up the little loli and prepares to run away again.

  "Hmm, Brother Ye Yu doesn't want to? I still want to sleep..." Wen Xueyue ignored Wu Ye Yu's push and pull, thinking that this guy was up to no good again. She directly turned her body around and continued sleeping.

  Wu Ye Yu saw this, helplessly rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to pick up the little loli in a horizontal hug. Like a miser, he put the furniture back into storage space. Before leaving, he left behind a 600-kilogram heavy bomb as a surprise for the incoming Sword Emperor-level expert. However, this bomb was trigger-activated and highly explosive. Except for Wu Ye Yu, who had read the manual, no one in this world could defuse it. Even if someone from his past life were to try, they wouldn't be able to defuse it; just touching it would set it off. This was a high-end product with fingerprint recognition! The ruthless and cunning Wu Ye Yu didn't even bat an eye at the price of 100,000 energy points.

  "Hmph! Isn't the energy point just for this? Hehehe, even if no one discovers it, I can just come back and retrieve it myself next time. But if someone does find it, then it'll be a welcome gift for them, haha... they'll definitely be surprised to the extreme! Hahahaha..." Wu Yeyu found that he was becoming more and more evil lately, as he walked towards the ground while hugging the little loli, his mouth still making non-stop eerie laughter, like an old vulture that had lived for a hundred years, sending shivers down one's spine.

  Hugging Wen Xiyue, Wu Yeyu hastily used the Water Control Technique to wrap himself and Wen Xiyue in a soft, gel-like sphere. The sensation of stepping on it was very comfortable, a variant application that he had gradually become more skilled at using with his Water Control Technique recently.

  As he stepped forward, the sphere also rolled forward continuously. This way, his body wouldn't be exposed to the air, preventing any aura from being detected by a skilled practitioner. At the same time, it ensured that no footprints were left behind for others to track. Moreover, the sphere had some elasticity, and it was actually quite fun...

  Like this, they continued to advance with a bounce and a jump for a while. The little loli also woke up, pushed Wu Ye Yu to one side, and took over the operation herself, but her level was clearly not very good. Wu Ye Yu's head spun dizzily as he tumbled along, but this girl was having the time of her life, and after half an hour, the two finally arrived at the creek, tumbling about.

  Since they had already reached their destination, Wu Yeyu hastily took control, exerting force with her foot and making a fish leap to dive into the stream. Underwater, she controlled the surrounding water flow, propelling herself and Wen Xiyue to constantly swim against the current.

  "Ah~ Finally free." It wasn't until then that Wu Yeru let out a breath and slowly calmed down, but Wen Xiyue, who was being held by him, had an unhappy face, her small mouth pouting high. It seemed she hadn't had enough fun yet. Only after Wu Yeru repeatedly promised to accompany her in the future and play to her heart's content did her expression finally change from cloudy to sunny.

  Row after row, Wu Ye's actions were swift under the water, constantly darting back and forth in the stream. Wen Xueyu looked at him with a face full of envy, "Brother Ye, where are we going? Is our previous hiding place no longer safe?"

  "Uh, although it's just my speculation, but we have to be prepared. Last night, eight sword kings of high level came and were left behind by me. After tonight, I think Old Yu should also return, at that time those assassins will completely lose their chance, so they must send a strong hand tonight." Wu Ye Yu said here, paused for a moment, and continued, "Although the number of Sword Emperor-level experts is very small, but the other side obviously came for you, so it's acceptable to dispatch a Sword Emperor expert. The gap between us and that kind of expert is too big, so we're not very clear about what kind of ability that level of expert has."

  Wu Ye Yu continued to wade through the stream, his body slightly twisting to avoid a boulder that jutted out of the water. "Although our previous hiding place was over a hundred meters underground, the entrance was on the surface. We used the Introspection Pill to block tracking by masters below the fifth level, but Sword Emperor-level masters are just beyond its range. I'm afraid they might find the entrance through some clues, and that would be truly being caught off guard. So we should move to another location as soon as possible. Didn't you notice that after I left the cave, I wrapped us all in a water seal? I did it because I was worried about leaving any aura or traces behind."

  "Wow! Brother Ye Yu, you're so amazing! You've thought of everything! I didn't think of that at all. I feel so safe when I'm with you." Wen Xueyue's small face couldn't help but show admiration.

  "Of course! Don't you know who your brother Night Rain is? I'm going to be your husband, after all. If I weren't impressive, how could I protect you?" Wu Ye Yu said with a completely matter-of-fact expression.

  "Pfft! You're so beautiful! Who says you'll be my husband's, I don't want to!" Wen Xiyue retorted with a red face after hearing Wu Yeyu's words.

  "Haha! You can't escape me now, I've already set my sights on you. If you don't agree, I'll just kidnap you when we're older, and there's nothing you can do about it!" Wu Yeyu said with a smug expression as he looked at Wen Xiyue.

  "Despicable! Tyrannical! I...I'm not going to talk to you anymore!" Wen Xueyue obviously didn't expect Wu Yeyu to say that, and her heart suddenly felt a strange sensation. Her delicate face turned even redder, and she lowered her small face, deeply burying it in Wu Yeyu's chest, pretending to be a quail.

  "Hahaha~!" Wu Yeyu's heart felt a surge of joy, and his loud laughter echoed out, even causing ripples in the water. Wen Xueyue was embarrassed, her face flushing as she punched him wildly, "Ah~! Ah~! Haha~ stop teasing me! I'm ticklish! I'm afraid of being tickled~! Ah~ haha~ ah~!" Wu Yeyu, who had been laughing too hard, suddenly lost all his strength due to the sudden attack and plunged headfirst into the river mud. His laughter stopped abruptly. Luckily, Wen Xueyue reacted quickly and turned around, landing on Wu Yeyu's back and avoiding this near-drowning incident.

  ……

  Half a time later, the two finally arrived at their destination, which was where Wu Ye Yu had dug up the earth's essence mine vein. This was the source of most of his energy points, so it was naturally etched in his memory. Moreover, he had stayed here for three days back then and was already very familiar with the place. Therefore, when considering a hiding spot, this place naturally came to mind first.

  Embracing Wen Xueyue, who had just been slapped three times on the buttocks by herself, Wu Yeyu arrived at the dense forest, moved the covering objects on the passage to one side, and then crawled into the hole, sealing the entrance with a printer. Only then did Wu Yeyu disperse the water glue wrapped around the two of them, holding Wen Xueyue's small hand as they walked deeper into the pit.
