Chapter 264 : What a pity
Chapter 264 - What a pity.
While other espers were speculating how much damage the black giant axe could inflict and just how injured the Monkey King might be, the next second, it sliced through the roaring Monkey King’s neck as smoothly as a kitchen knife cutting butter, cleanly separating his head from his body.
Immediately, a gush of blood erupted from the wound, soaking the nearby ground until it was damp.
The air filled with a nauseating stench of blood, causing Ye Sheng, who was still nestled in Gu Luoyu’s arms and hadn’t fully recovered yet, to be hit again, the urge to vomit rising once more.
Ye Sheng didn’t even have time to see what had happened before quickly burying her face back into Gu Luoyu’s chest.
Damn it, where did these monkeys even come from? Haven’t they bathed in centuries?
(ಥ_ಥ)
As Ye Sheng silently cursed these filthy creatures for their lack of hygiene, the others in the group were overwhelmed with shock and joy, their eyes wide open in disbelief as they stared at the Monkey King’s sudden death, feeling as if they hadn’t woken up from a dream.
After all, just a minute ago, they thought they were finished.
Encountering an S+ level polluted creature with no rescue in sight, they were certain they’d lose their lives… Who would’ve thought the turnaround would come so fast? They were actually going to survive!
At this realization, many wept from relief, those who had been desperate enough to act recklessly now shrank back into their usual timidity, not daring to approach Gu Luoyu’s vehicle, fearing this psychic might come back later to settle the score.
Even though no one had seen Gu Luoyu make a move, even a fool could figure it out, among everyone present, who else had the power to kill the Monkey King?
Could it have been the few newly appeared espers with psychic abilities?
Don’t be ridiculous, didn’t you see them getting chased and beaten by the Monkey King earlier?
Thus, the truth lay right on the surface, not the slightest bit mysterious.
While everyone silently understood, Li Wei remained rooted in place, her gaze fixed complexly on Gu Luoyu’s direction. The tiny spark of hope that had reignited in her heart now extinguished in an instant.
She originally thought Gu Luoyu was just an obscure psychic with psychic abilities, but who knew her power was this immense, likely on par with Erensu, if not stronger.
A person like this was definitely beyond Li Wei’s reach. If she tried to control her, not only would she herself suffer, but her entire family would be dragged into disaster!
At this moment, Li Wei deeply regretted why she wasn’t an Esper with psychic abilities!
If she were, perhaps she’d still have a chance to get close to Gu Luoyu, at least not end up like now, timid and powerless due to her lack of strength!
Following her regret, Li Wei began envying Ye Sheng.
She felt that Ye Sheng must’ve saved the country in her previous life to earn Gu Luoyu’s blatant favoritism.
If only she could…
Others had no time to care about Li Wei’s envy and resentment. They quickly drove away, avoiding another encounter with polluted creatures… The Monkey King’s blood spilled all over the ground, like a delicious little cake, luring in hungry creatures that were already sniffing their way here!
Under these circumstances, who knows what level of polluted creature might appear next, perhaps another S+.
Therefore, they didn’t even have time to collect the Monkey King’s treasure-filled corpse.
All they cared about was escaping.
Even the espers, known for their boldness, didn’t dare linger greedily. They followed the group and hastily left, taking the chance to warn those they were protecting not to provoke Gu Luoyu!
Even the ordinary members of the group could tell Gu Luoyu was no ordinary person, let alone the espers with sharper senses.
They were extremely wary of Gu Luoyu!
However, when the convoy had just set off, these espers had indeed observed Gu Luoyu, but at that time, she showed no abnormalities, appearing just like an average, unremarkable psychic.
Nothing special about her.
They assumed she was just another ‘wild’ psychic.
Yet, they never expected the day would come when they’d misjudge someone so badly… Now, looking at Gu Luoyu again, even from a distance, they could feel an overwhelming pressure, as if a massive mountain had descended from the sky, pressing down on their heads.
The slightest movement, and they’d be crushed into pulp, killed beyond revival.
This sudden change naturally made the espers shut up obediently, not even daring to make eye contact, each one silently playing ostrich.
Just as everyone was focused on leaving the area, Ye Sheng, sprawled in Gu Luoyu’s arms, finally recovered!
But she didn’t immediately sit up. Instead, she turned her head and watched the open-top four-wheeler’s steering wheel operating autonomously. Though she’d seen it many times, she still had to praise the convenience of psychic energy!
After watching for a short while, Ye Sheng finally looked up at Gu Luoyu, sighing regretfully, “That Monkey King was an S+ level polluted creature, its entire body is valuable. Leaving it behind is such a waste!”
Although the base collected high-level polluted creature corpses for research and production, Ye Sheng had her own valid reason: she could recycle the Monkey King’s body in exchange for lottery points.
She should be able to get quite a lot!
If that didn’t work, she could at least cut off some meat as pet food… Not only would nothing be wasted, but her pets would love it and grow stronger, three birds with one stone.
Due to Ye Heiya’s enormous size, bringing her along on missions was inconvenient, so Ye Sheng had left her and Xiao Bai at home, waiting for them to return.
It was a pity, the pet food that was practically in hand had flown away. Otherwise, she could’ve brought it back as a gift.
As Ye Sheng sighed in regret, Gu Luoyu merely raised an eyebrow. Instead of speaking immediately, she mischievously looked down at Ye Sheng’s adorable, sighing little face. Only after she’d had her fill did she lean forward and whisper into her ear, “Don’t worry, I used my psychic energy to drag the Monkey King’s body over.”
“!!!”
(๑°⌓°๑)
An unexpected twist!
Ye Sheng instantly stared at Gu Luoyu in shock. Then, quickly realizing what she meant, she immediately raised her thumb, hahaha, no wonder she was her Ah Yu, so clever!
Hehehe, that meant another boost to her income.
As Ye Sheng happily imagined her little savings growing again, Gu Luoyu felt a bit conflicted. She had originally thought that after some time, once she’d adjusted and harmonized with her psychic energy, she’d return to normal.
But she had underestimated her current abilities.
And once she acted, she faced a situation she couldn’t take back… The oppressive aura that frightened other espers wasn’t something Gu Luoyu deliberately released, it was uncontrollable.
Fortunately, it hadn’t affected Ye Sheng beside her, otherwise Gu Luoyu would’ve considered keeping her distance for a while…
Now, all she could hope for was that by the time they completed the mission and returned to the base, she’d be able to tame her own psychic energy.
