Chapter 20
Lu Ren did not return to Heitu Village.
The rest of the matter can be left to Yang Bin.
As for the cheers and gratitude of the villagers?
He does not care about these false reputations.
Besides, in this chaotic world of demons, keeping a low profile is the kingly way.
Being too ostentatious will easily become the target of public criticism.
As soon as he entered Yangliu Town, a familiar feeling of palpitations came to his heart.
Lu Ren hurriedly supported an earth wall, covered his extremely dull chest with his other hand, and gasped.
Just like last time, the palpitations appeared quickly and disappeared quickly, within half a minute.
However, Lu Ren's face was as solemn as a pool of stagnant water.
Why did this feeling appear again?
Could it be that the mysterious existence in the dark was still spying on him in the town?
The problem is that compared with the last time, his strength has been significantly improved.
Especially with a first-level skill and martial arts, even the people in Wuxianpo, who he once feared, are no longer his opponents.
It can make him feel a fatal threat now, but he can't find the source.
I'm afraid it's a demon in the transformation stage or above.
At this time, a bird's cry came to my ears.
Lu Ren was startled and subconsciously looked up at the tree.
It turned out to be just an ordinary turtledove.
""Ha!" Lu Ren couldn't help but shook his head and laughed at himself:"I have become a frightened bird."
It seems that he is too nervous.
Besides, if the"Feng Zun" of Qifengling wants to target him, he can just kill him directly.
Why make it so mysterious.
What makes him uneasy may be another demon.
Lu Ren quickened his pace to go home.
After what happened just now, he found that he was still very weak.
This feeling of life and death being controlled by others made him feel very impetuous. He must hurry up to improve his strength to protect himself.
Xuanling Baolu consumed a lot of demon lifespan.
Now there are only forty years left, which is obviously not enough.
Whether it can promote [Bawu Sword] to a first-level martial art is still unknown.
But..........The demons have plenty of lifespans.
Who should we start with? We should eat our meals one bite at a time and walk our paths one step at a time. As for persimmons, we should do the same as that thing and pick the soft ones......First, I went to find Bai Yu's sisters and had a good exchange of martial arts experience with them. When
Lu Ren walked on the street, passers-by kept their distance from him.
Especially the clothes on his body stained with the blood of the rat demon, it was shocking.
"Master Lu." A waiter from the restaurant came forward, bending over, with a flattering smile on his face:"What big thing did you do last night? I see you are all dirty. Why don't you go to the store to change and fill your stomach before going back?"
Lu Ren glanced at him indifferently.
The waiter felt uncomfortable being stared at, as if his thoughts were seen through.
Yesterday, he heard that Master Lu had paid off all the debts owed to the shops that he had bought on credit before.
Everyone said that Master Lu had changed his personality, so he wanted to verify whether it was true.
Lu Ren waved his hand tiredly and slowly uttered a few words:"No money, no going."
Many residents of the town gathered on both sides of the street.
Everyone stared at Lu Ren's bloody figure with fear and curiosity.
After he walked away, the discussion gradually increased.
"You think Mr. Lu could have killed someone?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Although many of the things Mr. Lu did over the years were indeed beastly, he has never killed anyone with his own hands."
"Indeed, I also don’t think that Master Lu is such a cruel and brutal person." A shop owner who had just collected his debts echoed:"Besides, Master Lu is covered in blood. How many people did he kill?"
"Well......What do you think? Is it possible that Master Lu went outside the town to kill monsters last night?"
"hiss"
Everyone gasped.
Master Lu, went to kill the monster?
If it was in the past, it would have sounded so outrageous.
But now, it is really possible!
"Shit! Could it be that he suddenly came to his senses and was ready to cleanse himself of all the evil deeds he had committed in the past?"
"well.......If this is the case, it is also good. After all, Lu Ren is the only son of Captain Lu. When Captain Lu was alive, he was dedicated to our Yangliu Town, but in the end he even lost his life."
Talking about this, everyone felt sad.
"So many years have passed, who was the demon that killed Captain Lu and his wife?"
"All we know is that they were poisoned at home, but we don't know who did it. After all, Captain Lu had offended many demonic forces at that time."
"It's a pity that a good man like Captain Lu ended up with such a sad ending........"
"By the way, Lu Ren suddenly became a different person recently. Was it because he had deliberately approached the demons before in order to secretly investigate the truth of his parents' murder?
Now that he had found the clues, he no longer hid his edge and was ready to take revenge?"
"Haha, with such a rich imagination, why don’t you write a storybook?"..........
Lu Ren didn't bother to pay attention to these gossips.
He didn't need to explain to anyone how he should act.
He bought some breakfast on the way and went straight home.
It was still early, and when he passed by Liu Ying's house, he happened to see Yuan Bao squatting at the door playing with the dog.
"Had breakfast?"
"No, my mother just got up and is still making a fire."
"I have some buns here, take them and eat them, they are stuffed with pork."
Yuan Bao held the puppy in his arms, turned around and looked at Lu Ren in surprise.
The next moment, he screamed in fear, instinctively threw the puppy on the ground, and then ran back to the yard in panic.
"Blood! So much blood, mother!"
Yuan Bao was obviously frightened by the blood stains all over Lu Ren.
Liu Ying heard her son's cry and ran out of the kitchen.
She comforted Yuan Bao for a few words, then came out of the yard, looking at Lu Ren with a panic in her eyes.
"Are you hurt?"
Lu Ren shook his head:"I just killed a few field mice."
Then, he handed the breakfast in his hand to Liu Ying with a little apology:"I didn't think it through just now. I scared the kid."
Liu Ying took the breakfast and said lightly:"It's good to scare him. If a man is too timid, he is destined to live a cowardly life in the future."
Lu Ren smiled:"You are very open-minded. But when I killed Wang Ergou that night, didn't you protect him very well?"
"This is different."Liu Ying said,"He is still young now. Witnessing murder will only make him cold-blooded, but killing demons can bring him some positive guidance."
She looked into Lu Ren's eyes and said very seriously,"I hope that he can one day become a righteous and kind head of the police like your father, be loved and respected, and do his best to clean up this chaotic and evil world."
Lu Ren praised,"Yuan Bao is very sensible. One day he will become a hero in your mind."
After speaking, Lu Ren turned and walked towards his own yard.
Behind him, Liu Ying's words came again.
Very soft, but he heard it clearly.
Perhaps because of the Xuanling Baolu, he was nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his senses became several times more acute than ordinary people.
"I hope.......You too."
Lu Ren paused.
Heroes are often tragic and sad.
In comparison, he would rather be a heroic figure who stirs up the world in this chaotic world, like Prime Minister Cao...........
Lu Ren was eating breakfast and boiling a large pot of hot water.
The demon blood on his body had a strong fishy smell, which was very uncomfortable to smell. After the water was boiled, he pulled a piece of cloth in the yard to cover himself, and then washed himself.
After taking off the bloody clothes, there was a nearly perfect and strong body inside.
These are all changes brought about by the deduction of martial arts exercises.
Lu Ren is now full of blood, with smooth muscle lines, full of the beauty of strength.
The key is that his skin is whiter than that of a woman, like a piece of unpolished jade carefully carved into a work of art.
Lu Ren was a little speechless. He looked at his current appearance, which looked very much like those young handsome men in his previous life that he despised.
If there is any difference between the two, perhaps he can now smash the top of a crying monster with one punch.
After scrubbing, Lu Ren changed into a black single garment and felt a lot refreshed.
However, the fatigue in his body did not diminish.
He didn't sleep all night last night. He had a life-and-death duel with the rat demon Zishu. Later, he killed hundreds of field mouse monsters in a row. His physical strength had long been exhausted.
"Let's go to sleep first."
Lu Ren yawned and walked into the inner room.
"Xiao Lu."
Hearing Liu Ying's voice, Lu Ren stopped and looked back with a strange look.
Liu Ying walked in with small steps and saw Lu Ren's expression was a little cold:"You....Don't you like me calling you Xiao Lu like before?"
She pursed her lips and said with a little disappointment:"Then I'll continue to call you Master Lu in the future."
Yu Xia said calmly:"Sister-in-law, you can call me whatever you like, no need to look at my face, after all, I can't eat you."
For some reason, Liu Ying blushed a little when she heard this.
Normally, the child is seven or eight years old, and she is no longer as shy as a little girl.
But........Facing this young man with whom she had a complicated relationship, her heart, which had been silent for a long time, showed signs of stirring again after many years.
Lu Ren did not notice her psychological changes, and looked outside the courtyard, but did not see Yuan Bao.
"Where's Yuanbao? Did he go out to play again?"
Liu Ying calmed down and said with a smile,"I'll send him to Mr. Tian."
"Mr. Tian?" Lu Ren thought for a moment, and a name jumped into his mind:"Tian Qi?"
This man was born a scholar, but because of many unsuccessful imperial examinations, he became discouraged and lived in Yangliu Town to open a private school.
He charges fair fees, teaches seriously and responsibly, and is a teacher respected by the people in the town.
Liu Ying had planned to send Yuanbao to school before, but her family was too poor, and she had no money to maintain her daily life after paying the tuition.
She had to put the matter aside for the time being.
A few days ago, Lu Ren gave her a large sum of money. Now that she had more money on hand, she started to think about sending her child to school again.
"Mr. Tian is knowledgeable and talented. I think Yuanbao can learn a lot from him." Liu Ying said truthfully
"It's better this way, so that he won't have nothing to do all day and learn bad things from those wild kids."
Seeing that Liu Ying had no intention of leaving, Lu Ren frowned slightly:"Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to say?" Liu Ying
's beautiful eyes moved with a hint of hidden shyness.
She opened her red lips and said:"I see that your clothes are torn, I want to measure your size and make you a new set of clothes."
Lu Ren was silent for a moment, turned and walked into the house:"Come in."
Liu Ying followed with a borrowed tape measure.
""Stand still and open your hands."
Lu Ren did as he was told.
Liu Ying measured Lu Ren back and forth.
When she measured the waist, Liu Ying bent down and felt a little nervous.
Lu Ren had just finished a shower and was only wearing a black singlet with nothing underneath.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ying's hand shook and she tore off the belt he had tied casually.
Then......
Liu Ying looked at the beautiful male body in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Although she had passively watched it many times before, this time was obviously very different.
Because the change was so great, she even subconsciously looked up to confirm whether the person in front of her was the Lu Ren she knew.
"you........How come your body is so white?......."
The following words made Liu Ying a little embarrassed to speak.
As a woman, she was born with a love of beauty.
And Lu Ren's skin was fair, translucent, and flawless, and even she couldn't help but envy him.
Liu Ying glared at Lu Ren in shame and anger:"You don't even cover your clothes when they're open, how embarrassing."
She turned away with a red face, not daring to look again.
Half of it was out of the instinct to abide by women's codes, and the other half was that she was worried that if she looked at him one more time, she would not be able to suppress the evil fire that was gradually burning in her heart.
Liu Ying covered her chest with her hands, trying to calm her restless heart.
But no matter how she adjusted herself, the picture in her mind kept lingering, and instead made her heart beat faster and faster.
"that......."Have you put on your clothes? I'm going to go back."
However, Lu Ren did not respond.
Liu Ying had no choice but to muster up the courage to look back.
The next moment, she felt like she was on fire.
Lu Ren slowly stepped forward and gently placed his hand on the back of her head.
"Sister-in-law, you must be hungry, right?"
