Chapter 39: Light in the Dark Years

Outside the Lu City Defense Line.

Su Muyu looked at her phone with disappointment, while a beautiful woman beside her noticed Su Muyu’s expression and said, hugging her chest in confusion, "Is he so important to you? Your profession and talent will make you the main force in suppressing the Abyss in the future."

"Emotions, emotions are just obstacles on your path to becoming stronger."

Su Muyu shook her head, "He’s very important to me! And he’s not an obstacle for me to become stronger, he’s my motivation to become stronger!"

"Why? You don’t seem like someone who acts emotionally," Zhu Xiao said, somewhat puzzled.

Whether it’s talent, the grasp of battle, the understanding of the Warlock profession, and more.

She could be called a genius, not to mention in Shencheng City.

Even in Imperial University, a place filled with Heavenly Pride, she would be the most dazzling presence.

Yet she cares so much about a guy?

"It’s just that others aren’t worth my emotions," Su Muyu put away her phone, a memory flashing in her mind of someone standing in front of her, facing more than ten taller boys than him.

"You can’t bully her!!"

The boy looked determined, like a lone wolf but also like a wall!

"Oh, oh, then we’ll bully you!!"

After a while.

"Is this kid crazy?! Going after one person to fight!"

"Stop, stop! He’s going to beat you to death!"

"Madman! Madman!"

Those who came to bully her were scared away by the boy’s desperate fighting style, and little Su Muyu looked at the bruised, bleeding little Shen Fei.

Yet he pretended to be strong and said, "They won’t come to bully you anymore! I chased them away!"

From that moment on.

That figure became the light in her dark past.

"If you like him so much, why do you want me to remind you that you can only chat for a certain time?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"Because I’m worried I might get too immersed in it. I like him, but I also need to become stronger!"

Su Muyu stood up, stretched her back displaying her graceful figure, but here was only Zhu Xiao, who was also a woman.

Zhu Xiao shook her head, "Fine, as long as you like him. But it’s not so easy for him to gain your brother-in-law’s approval..."

"Does the person I like need his approval?"

Su Muyu’s face gradually turned cold, "Back when he left me and my mom..."

"It was for the Breaking Abyss Army mission. If he hadn’t gone, Shencheng City would have fallen by now!" Zhu Xiao couldn’t help but explain.

Although she didn’t want to bring it up, she didn’t want Su Muyu and Su Yan, the father-daughter pair, to be constantly opposed because of this.

"If he were home, my mom wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t have ended up in an orphanage!"

Su Muyu said calmly.

"He was being secretly pursued by Demons, if he had come to reunite with you, you might not have survived." Zhu Xiao shook her head.

"I don’t want to talk about him anymore, let’s hurry and start leveling up. I still need to go back and see Shen Fei later." Su Muyu mentioned Shen Fei’s name, with a hint of a smile on her face.

Zhu Xiao shook her head, if brother-in-law saw this, he might be furious.

"Let’s begin."

"Besides, Shen Fei... must be much stronger than me." Su Muyu said with a smile, although the principal hadn’t told her the specifics, judging by his character.

If Shen Fei wasn’t stronger than her, he certainly wouldn’t have made Shen Fei the captain.

"You’re only level 12, but your profession is special. Even level 20 might not be your match, you truly are able to compete against those monstrous geniuses." Zhu Xiao countered.

"Who knows? Teacher, you’ll find out in due time."

"Can’t you call me Auntie?"

"Okay, teacher."

"Sigh..."

...

"I don’t know what kind of teacher he is, so late and not allowing rest, even to limit phone call times."

Shen Fei grumbled about how awful the teacher was as he exited the bathroom.

As he sat on the sofa, a milk tea was delivered after a short while, Shen Fei watched as suddenly a crack appeared and swallowed all the milk tea.

"What to do next?"

Leaning on the sofa, Shen Fei initially intended to shower and sleep, but a call from Dusk Rain woke him up quite a bit, and now he couldn’t fall asleep.

"Hey, Dusk Rain said that understanding your profession thoroughly helps better match skills, Summoner is considered a pit profession, but with plentiful resources, it can still develop into a strong one...

And there have been Summoners who rose from poor backgrounds against all odds, surely it’s worth learning about."

Shen Fei pondered, took out his phone and began browsing...

Ten minutes later.

The Empress had just finished a Chapter when she heard snoring coming from outside, she pursed her lips and closed the novel.

Walking into the living room, she saw Vast Heaven Venerable still watching television.

"Dummy, the master fell asleep here, aren’t you going to carry him back?" The Empress glanced at Vast Heaven Venerable, then a sphere of water manifested in her hand, carrying Shen Fei back to the room and placing him on the bed.

Vast Heaven Venerable glanced without concern, only slightly curled his lips, ’If I really did that, this woman would surely find an opportunity to beat him.

Though I’m definitely stronger than her now, a good man doesn’t fight with women.’

The Empress shut the door, and while leaning on the sofa idly reading the novel, she suddenly asked, "Was the master chatting with the mistress just now?"

"Hmm." Vast Heaven Venerable nodded.

"Is the mistress beautiful?"

"I haven’t seen her..." Vast Heaven Venerable shook his head.

"Useless." The Empress snorted coldly, continuing to read the novel, suddenly asking again, "Little Immortal, have you seen her?"

"Glug~ Sister Empress... Sorry, I haven’t seen her..." Stabbing Immortal in the Void seemed startled, letting out a whimper, and hurriedly responded.

"Drink slowly!"

The Empress shook her head.

...

Early the next day.

Shen Fei opened his eyes, found himself surprisingly on the bed, got out and went to the living room, watching the Empress reading a novel and Vast Heaven Venerable watching television.

"Who brought me back to the room yesterday..."

"Cangtian..." The Empress raised her eyes, and Vast Heaven Venerable, about to open his mouth, quickly closed it upon catching the Empress’s gaze.

"Thanks, Little Cang."

"Hehe."

Vast Heaven Venerable scratched his head.

Shen Fei washed up, glanced at his phone and noticed the video had been turned off, but the chat app was open.

"Did I turn it off myself last night?" Shen Fei shook his head, unable to recall.

"Everyone rest today,"

Shen Fei decided not to go out and show himself; he leaned into the seat offered by the Empress.

Glancing at the message, he found Wang Xun had sent many messages, full of links, that he clicked to realize were all covering him.

To put it simply, Shen Fei had become famous.

At least he was famous in Shencheng City.

But he closed it all swiftly, his aim wasn’t to be famous.

"Right, nearly forgot the Triple Draw." Shen Fei exhaled, activating his talent.

The ocean of Golden Terms began to swirl, countless terms encircled Shen Fei like golden spheres, finally three terms settled.

Causing Shen Fei to raise an eyebrow.

’These three terms aren’t bad!’
