Chapter 261 : The Most Beautiful in the World~
Chapter 261 - The Most Beautiful in the World~
Gu Luoyu's words were utterly ruthless.
Even if the person standing in front of her was an influential noble, she had no intention of speaking politely, let alone that Li Wei's repeated harassment had already affected her and Ye Sheng's relationship, there was no way she would show a good attitude.
Ever since Li Wei had shown interest in Gu Luoyu, many people in the team had turned their attention toward this side. Now, upon hearing Gu Luoyu’s words, someone immediately couldn't help but suck in a breath through their teeth, never expecting someone to dare act so coldly toward Li Wei from the Li family!
One must know, since Li Wei's father took over the position of commander, the Li family's status in the base had been continuously rising.
The previous base commander, due to his only daughter being cruelly killed by Eresnu, turned his hair white overnight. After that, he wanted revenge, even going as far as abusing his authority to command the military to kill Eresnu...
However, the final result ended with the commander's tragic death, while Eresnu remained lively and unscathed.
Precisely because of this, the base leadership feared Eresnu even more, and their supervision over her became stricter.
As for the newly appointed commander, holding power in his hands, even though there was the tragedy of the previous commander dying without a whole corpse, as long as he didn't provoke those insane espers, it wouldn't cause him any harm.
After all, there were three excellent espers constantly guarding the commander's side, making it difficult for him to be hurt unless he was asking for it by removing the guards himself.
Still, although it was said like this, the newly appointed Li clan commander still sternly warned his family members not to associate with espers.
And as the saying goes, when one attains power, even dogs and chickens ascend to heaven. Not to mention direct descendants bound by blood relations, who could strut around the base arrogantly... The reason extra safety precautions were emphasized for this wilderness hunting team was precisely due to the presence of noble youths like Li Wei.
Otherwise, for just a simple hunting mission, why would they need to spend squad points hiring espers as bodyguards?
As for why these noble youths didn't bring espers from their own families?
It was very simple. This hunting mission was supposedly for training and improving their combat skills, so naturally they wouldn't bring guards around to solve problems for them, they wanted to handle things themselves... Although officially their protection was withdrawn, secretly was another matter entirely.
People like Gu Luoyu, who possessed strong perception abilities, could clearly sense that there were no fewer than seven espers hiding around, providing protection so dense it was impenetrable.
Tsk.
If she had known it would be this troublesome, she should’ve taken another mission instead.
While Gu Luoyu was impatiently thinking these things, Ye Sheng’s expression had finally cleared from gloom to sunshine, especially after witnessing Gu Luoyu decisively cutting off Li Wei’s advances. Ye Sheng maintained a stern face outwardly, but secretly, her inner self was laughing with clenched fists.
Hahaha, her Ah Yu was never someone fickle, she would only ever like her!
At this point, Ye Sheng no longer resisted, but obediently held hands while giving her rival a provocative smirk, her dark eyes brimming with smugness, silently urging the woman to scram!
She and Gu Luoyu were clearly a couple, was this woman Li Wei blind?
“Do you... Do you even know who I am? I'm the daughter of Commander Li Libo! How dare you speak to me with such disrespect! I will...”
Even though Li Wei had feelings for Gu Luoyu, being humiliated publicly like this enraged her. However, while invoking her parents' names, her words only came halfway before she could no longer speak.
The reason was simple, Gu Luoyu had used her psychic ability to seal her mouth shut.
At the moment Gu Luoyu activated her psychic power, the originally hidden espers guarding the target immediately acted upon seeing her threatened. However, those incoming psychic attacks were like a tiger getting its itch scratched, Gu Luoyu simply waved her hand and dispersed them directly.
The difference in combat strength between both sides was immediately evident, causing the other psychics to be shocked speechless!
When had the base produced such an incredibly powerful esper?!
Yet, before the psychics could launch another attack, Gu Luoyu, growing impatient, used her psychic power first to bind them all in place, turning them into statues unable to move.
After finishing all that, Gu Luoyu lazily lifted her eyes and gave Li Wei a half-smile that didn’t reach her eyes, saying, “Do I still need to invite you to leave?”
“...”
Li Wei, unable to make a sound, could only angrily stomp her foot. She was puzzled why those guarding her secretly hadn't intervened and properly taught this arrogant girl Gu Luoyu a lesson... But Li Wei wasn't stupid; she knew when not to play the fool and bang her head against a stone wall.
After watching Li Wei finally leave, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but pout. She turned her head and stared seriously at Gu Luoyu for a while, and found that with just Gu Luoyu's pretty face, it was only natural that she would attract bees and butterflies.
Her partner was the most beautiful in the world~
However, she could praise inwardly, but if she said it out loud, Ye Sheng was afraid Gu Luoyu would become conceited.
Thinking all sorts of things, Ye Sheng said with a grudge in her tone, “Why don't you use psychic camouflage anymore? Well, I guess when you're this charming, it's only natural that you attract so many young and pretty women.”
Hearing Ye Sheng’s overly sarcastic tone, Gu Luoyu dared not laugh and could only hold it in.
Then, she looked at Ye Sheng seriously, moving closer, her red eyes shining even brighter, like the only star in the night sky, before pretending to ask innocently, “So then, Miss Ye Sheng, young and pretty, did my charm manage to enchant you?”
“⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄”
Ye Sheng’s face reddened, and she glared at Gu Luoyu in embarrassment, but unfortunately, the cute glare lacked intimidation. Instead, it looked more like a coy, lingering gaze, making Gu Luoyu finally burst into laughter.
She reached forward and pulled Ye Sheng close, then leaned down and kissed her affectionately.
Instantly making Ye Sheng feel all dizzy.
Even though Ye Sheng acted like a little crab when angry, waving her claws ready to pinch everything apart, she was very easy to pacify and soon turned into a clingy kitten again, always wanting hugs and kisses.
Gu Luoyu clearly enjoyed Ye Sheng's affection as well. Unlike the others who were on high alert fearing attacks from polluted creatures, the two of them appeared unusually relaxed, like a young couple on a casual outing, always sticking close together, causing the rest of the squad to be utterly astonished.
Leaving other things aside, weren't espers supposed to be emotionally unstable people? How come this Gu Luoyu seemed so normal?
Wasn't it said that the stronger the psychic power, the closer one was to mental collapse, and that they often talked about suicide?
Yet Gu Luoyu looked more normal than they did...
Unlike the others who were confused, the psychics who had been stopped by Gu Luoyu earlier with her psychic power were filled with dread. They had secretly warned Li Wei not to approach Gu Luoyu and Ye Sheng again, otherwise, if she died, she would have only herself to blame.
They, having already been defeated by her, couldn’t protect her anymore.
Upon hearing such words, Li Wei immediately kept quiet, but deep inside, she was seething, waiting until they returned to base to settle the score with Gu Luoyu!
The previous commander had lost badly because he faced Eresnu, a true killing machine, but Gu Luoyu was merely an esper who had recently gained some fame. She was nothing to fear.
