Chapter 222: Extra Chapter 2: Lu Yu and Nan Zishi 2

Lu Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead. “Not only did the Beast God Space screw me over, but even my Divine Power vanished. It was all transferred to your mother. Your father has never been bested in his entire life, but I took a major loss when it came to your mother.”

“Huh?” Lu Ming was stunned. “Dad, your Divine Power went to Mom?”

Nan Zishi smiled from nearby. “That’s right.”

Lu Yu gave Nan Zishi a gentle smile and continued with the story.

…

Confused, Lu Yu grabbed Nan Zishi and pulled her in front of him, staring at her.

‘To be honest, the girl in front of him was gorgeous.’

‘Her skin was porcelain-white, her nose was elegant and straight, and her small, cherry-like lips had a healthy, rosy tint. Her large, black eyes sparkled brightly.’

‘She was the kind of girl you couldn’t help but like at first sight.’

‘This girl was his fated female? His destined partner?’

‘He didn’t believe in fate!’

Just as he was about to let go, the girl before him took the initiative, looked up, and planted a kiss right on his lips.

The soft, sweet, unfamiliar sensation left Lu Yu completely stunned.

‘That was so sudden.’

It took a long moment before his entire face turned beet red. He shoved her away abruptly. “Y-y-y-y-you, what do you think you’re doing? You lecherous female!”

The girl tilted her head and asked, “But… you were leaning in so close, we were almost touching. Didn’t you want me to kiss you?”

‘She had, after all, made the decision to kiss him after careful consideration.’

‘Besides, it was her first kiss, too.’

‘She liked him, and he seemed to be hinting at it. Why shouldn’t she kiss him?’

‘She didn’t think she was being forward at all.’

Face flushed, Lu Yu said, flustered and exasperated, “In this world, a male’s chastity is very important! Who gave you permission to kiss me and touch me!”

Nan Zishi was taken aback, but then a smile spread across her face.

“So, that was your first kiss?”

Steam practically started coming out of Lu Yu’s ears. He gestured frantically, “What first kiss? Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Alright, alright. I won’t say anything. Don’t be shy.”

“I… How could I possibly be shy?!?!”

“Alright, this farce is over. I’m sending you out now.” Lu Yu waved his hand.

The Beast God Space didn’t react.

Puzzled, Lu Yu refused to believe it and waved his hand again.

The Beast God Space remained motionless.

‘What’s going on?’

Lu Yu jumped up and down frantically.

He suddenly realized—he couldn’t use his Divine Power?

“Hey handsome, what’s wrong with you?”

Lu Yu realized something was wrong and turned to run. The great Beast God nearly tripped as he fled.

…

The Beast God possessed the ability to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

Lu Yu left Nan Zishi behind and went to the side of a pool, where he summoned the Heavenly Dao of this world.

He demanded, “This is your doing, isn’t it?”

A cloud-like phantom, the Heavenly Dao of the Beast World, appeared before the Beast God. It shook its head at Lu Yu, then nodded.

“My Divine Power is gone. Where did it go?”

The Heavenly Dao transformed into a finger and pointed in Nan Zishi’s direction.

Lu Yu was dumbfounded. “Are you saying my Divine Power went into that female?”

“That female can’t control Divine Power! Hurry up and give it back to me!”

The Heavenly Dao shook its head again and gestured in front of him.

“Are you saying the only way I can get my Divine Power back is to mate and bond with her? …Are you insane?!?”

This time, Lu Yu was truly livid. “I’m the Beast God! We’ve been partners for so many years. We’re old friends! Why are you so determined to screw me over?”

The Heavenly Dao twisted and gestured, [Giving you a wife, how is that screwing you over?]

“Forcing me to bond with someone isn’t screwing me over? There’s no way I’m just going to marry myself off like this!”

The Heavenly Dao paused, then continued to twist and gesture, [Then your Divine Power will never return.]

Lu Yu was enraged. “You damn! Heavenly! Dao!!!”

[Oh, right, Beast God. There’s a severe flood in the Western Continent of the Beast World. A lot of Beastmen have already drowned. You should go help them now. Have fun with your romance.]

With that, the Heavenly Dao of the Beast World dissipated.

Lu Yu was dumbfounded. He started cursing at the spot where the Heavenly Dao had vanished. “I don’t even have my Divine Power anymore, and you want me to deal with a flood?!?”

…

Hearing this, Lu Ming was about to keel over from laughter.

‘Was the image of his Beast God father—lofty and majestic as a mountain in his heart—really this vivid and funny when told in his own words?’

Lu Yu said sternly, “No laughing.”

Lu Ming burst out laughing again.

“So Dad, if you lost your Divine Power, how did you two deal with the flood?”

Lu Yu reminisced, a smile tugging at his lips. “I tricked your mother.”

“Huh?”

Nan Zishi said with a straight face, “Your dad tricked me into becoming his disciple.”

…

“Handsome, handsome, handsome~” Nan Zishi teased him, her hands behind her back as she bent over to get a closer look.

‘To be fair, when she first saw Lu Yu, she was stunned by his otherworldly beauty. He seemed completely untouchable.’

‘But as fate would have it, he hadn’t been wearing a shirt when she fell into his arms. As fate would have it, she couldn’t help but touch his abs. And as fate would have it, she saw his ears turn red.’

‘And just like that, this “flower on a high peak” didn’t seem so lofty anymore.’

‘Besides, he was handsome, innocent, and adorable—he was ticking every single one of her boxes.’

‘It was hard not to fall for him.’

‘And it was very hard to stop teasing him.’

Lu Yu and Nan Zishi stared at each other, wide-eyed.

He strode over to her, his eyes, as brilliant as moonlight, fixed on her.

“My name is Lu Yu.”

“Mm! It’s a nice name.”

Her compliment was very effective.

Lu Yu cleared his throat, looked her up and down, and then asked, “Nan Zishi, I can see that you have a superior constitution. Do you want to become stronger?”

“Become stronger? What’s the use?”

“Of course it’s useful to be stronger!” Lu Yu said.

Nan Zishi said, “But I went through nine years of compulsory education, then high school, and even university…”

“Stop!” Lu Yu said. “That’s not the kind of ‘stronger’ I’m talking about. I mean in terms of power, of combat strength.”

Lu Yu straightened his back and said earnestly, “As long as you’re powerful enough, no one will be able to bully you.”

“Including you?” Nan Zishi asked.

Lu Yu paused, then turned his head. “Yes, including me.”

At that, Nan Zishi became very serious. “I do! I want to become stronger!”

Lu Yu: ‘Mm, good attitude.’

Nan Zishi added, “But I don’t want to work too hard. I hope I can become stronger without trying!”

“…” ‘What kind of pipe dream is that?!’

‘How can this girl be so lazy? Lu Yu was truly speechless.’

But he suppressed his temper and continued to guide her patiently.

“Then this is perfect. I’ll be your master, and I’ll teach you how to become stronger without having to try.”

“Is there really such a good deal?”

Nan Zishi nodded eagerly. “Yes, yes, yes! A master-disciple romance sounds pretty good, too!”

Lu Yu thought he had misheard. “What did you just say?”

Nan Zishi quickly shook her head, stood at attention, and called out in a resonant voice, “Master!”

This “Master” from the little female before him was very satisfying to hear. Considering all of his Divine Power was inside her, Lu Yu said, “Today, Master will first teach you how to fly.”

Nan Zishi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

‘She knew there had to be some perks to transmigrating. And here they were, right on schedule.’

“Okay, okay, how do I fly?!”

Lu Yu taught Nan Zishi an incantation. After she repeated it, she really did start to fly, but once she was in the air, she didn’t know how to land.

“Master! How do I get down?!”

Lu Yu quickly taught her the second incantation, but before Nan Zishi could learn it, the Divine Power suddenly cut out, and she plummeted from the sky.

“Master! I’m falling! Help me!!!!!!”

Lu Yu sprinted forward, but without his Divine Power, he just ended up as Nan Zishi’s meat cushion, landing ungracefully flat on his face.

Lu Yu: ‘You damn Heavenly Dao!!!’

Nan Zishi got up from on top of her meat-cushion Lu Yu. “Thank you for saving me, Master.”

Lu Yu: “…”

Once Nan Zishi finally learned how to fly, Lu Yu stepped onto a large leaf used for flying and said to her, “Come, disciple. We’ll ride the leaf.”

Nan Zishi: “Oh, oh, I get it, I get it!”

And just like that, Nan Zishi and Lu Yu sat on the large leaf and flew off toward the west with a WHOOSH.

…

Lu Ming asked with a smile, “Did Mom really fall for your trick?”

“Maybe,” Lu Yu chuckled. “She said she’s read a lot of novels, and in those novels, being the master is the more dangerous position.”

Nan Zishi coughed twice, interrupting Lu Yu.

Lu Ming’s eyes sparkled. “And then what happened? Then what?”

Pride filled Lu Yu’s eyes. “Later, your mother did a wonderful job. She successfully resolved the flood in the west and was even worshipped as the Beast God by many of the Beastmen there.”

“And after that?” Lu Ming’s eyes shone even brighter.

Nan Zishi grinned. “And then, I saw through your daddy’s little scheme.”

Lu Yu sighed. “Your mother refused to give me an official status, and she wouldn’t give me my power back either.”

He recalled that period of time.

With all his Divine Power in Nan Zishi’s hands, he resigned himself to his fate, coaxing her, pursuing her, and apologizing to her.

He even had to pester her to let him proactively teach her more things.

All the Priest Arrays and similar skills that Nan Zishi knew were things Lu Yu had personally coaxed her into learning, teaching her step by step.

“And then? What happened then?” Lu Ming asked, his big, watery eyes wide with curiosity.

Nan Zishi pushed Lu Ming down into the Beast Skin blanket. “Time for sleep. What happens next isn’t for you to hear.”

Lu Yu’s expression was gentle.

‘What happened next? Next, of course, was coaxing Nan Zishi to bond with him.’

‘On that day, his Sui Sui was breathtakingly beautiful.’

‘The Beast God Cave Mansion was filled with flowers, the Beast God’s Power flowed between the two of them, and their totem marks appeared on each other’s bodies at the same time.’

Lu Ming was too excited to sleep. He popped his head out from the Beast Skin blanket and asked cutely, “Then why did Mom lose her memory later?”

Nan Zishi shot Lu Yu a fierce glare. Being stared at like that by his beloved female made Lu Yu a little nervous.

He still explained in a soft voice, “According to my plan, I was supposed to die. I didn’t want your mother to feel heartbroken for me.”

‘So, if something had gone wrong and my resurrection failed, Sui Sui wouldn’t have had to remember me.’

‘Only if I successfully revived would Sui Sui remember everything about our time together.’

Lu Ming’s eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. He had never been this happy.

“So, Dad loves Mom very much, right?”

Lu Yu smiled and kissed Lu Ming, then turned and kissed Nan Zishi. “Yes, very much.”
