Any man would not be able to accept this evaluation, especially when it comes from his own bed companion.
Fu Xuezhou’s face was unusually dark, but as he looked at Lou Yan’s dirty smile, he slowly clenched his fists without leaving any traces. He exhaled a warm breath and calmly said, “Whether I’m fast or not, don’t you know?”
Lou Yan raised an eyebrow and intentionally applied more pressure with his hand.
Fu Xuezhou frowned as he looked at him, the blue veins on his neck slightly protruding from the pain.
Satisfied, Lou Yan released his hand, feeling uncomfortable on his face. He wiped his face with the back of his hand and sneered, “Don’t talk nonsense, the evidence is right here.”
With that, Lou Yan slowly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. A minute later, he came out with a clean face, his cheeks moist, his wet hair sticking to his forehead, his sharp features covered in a layer of water vapor, giving him a sexy look.
Lou Yan leisurely walked to the side of the bed and looked at Fu Xuezhou. Fu Xuezhou was already half-naked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he closed his eyes. Sensing Lou Yan’s gaze, he opened his eyes and looked at Lou Yan. His pitch-black eyes seemed to swallow the light, deep as if they were hiding the night.
Lou Yan couldn’t help but be fascinated. He reached out and touched Fu Xuezhou’s eyes, sighing, “Fu Xuezhou, your eyes are really beautiful…”
The intensity of his fingers touching Fu Xuezhou’s eyes increased with each stroke, and his nails scratched faint red marks on Fu Xuezhou’s eyelids. Fu Xuezhou calmly said, “Do you want to gouge out my eyes?”
Lou Yan’s hand paused, and he chuckled dumbly, “Why would I?”
He withdrew his hand and got back into bed. As soon as his hand touched Fu Xuezhou’s crotch, Fu Xuezhou asked, “Are you uncomfortable when I’m on top of you?”
There was a hint of doubt in his voice.
Lou Yan didn’t stop his movements. He removed all the clothes that were in the way on Fu Xuezhou’s body, and with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, he said, “Uncomfortable, but you seem quite comfortable. This time, let me see how comfortable you really are.”
“But you’ve ejaculated many times,” Fu Xuezhou said shamelessly, “and you’ve moaned so pleasurably. Is that uncomfortable?”
Lou Yan: “…Shut up.”
Fu Xuezhou lifted his eyelids and looked at Lou Yan. Seeing Lou Yan’s displeasure, he stopped talking and didn’t resist. It wasn’t until Lou Yan was about to cross the line that he frowned uncomfortably and calmly asked, “Are you done venting?”
The fact that he could be on top of Fu Xuezhou made Lou Yan’s brain exceptionally excited. This was Fu Xuezhou, the enemy he wanted to kill, the world’s number one who had destroyed the world time and time again. At this moment, Lou Yan didn’t feel angry, he just wanted to give Fu Xuezhou a “lesson” as soon as possible. Hearing this question, he subconsciously replied, “Yes, I’m done venting.”
The next moment, Lou Yan was pressed down by a strong force. Fu Xuezhou covered Lou Yan and himself with the blanket, turned off the bedside lamp, and hugged Lou Yan. “Let’s go to sleep.”
With that, he closed his eyes.
Lou Yan, who hadn’t officially taken revenge yet: “???”
He struggled and poked Fu Xuezhou with his arm. Fu Xuezhou remained motionless, his hands not relaxing at all. Lou Yan cursed and cursed, but in the end, he tired himself out first. Listening to the steady breathing of Fu Xuezhou, his frustration gradually turned into drowsiness, and Lou Yan also slowly closed his eyes.
After a long time, Lou Yan’s breathing became steady.
It was only then that Fu Xuezhou opened his eyes, looking down at the person in his arms. The darkness couldn’t block his sight, and Fu Xuezhou looked at Lou Yan for a long time before closing his eyes again.
It was strange.
His body was still unsettled, but for some reason, Fu Xuezhou felt that he shouldn’t do anything more at this moment. Perhaps he thought that Lou Yan would be angry, or perhaps he still harbored some pity for Lou Yan, whom he had just been intimate with. So he restrained the desire and impulse of his body and decisively chose to sleep.
Surprisingly, this choice didn’t make him feel uncomfortable. Instead, there was a strange sense of peace.
Fu Xuezhou originally thought that he wouldn’t be able to sleep, as the long and dangerous time had already made him accustomed to falling asleep alone. But Fu Xuezhou didn’t expect that after the initial discomfort, he actually felt a little drowsy.
Fu Xuezhou allowed himself to sink half-awake into drowsiness.
***
Duan Zege only saw the message Lou Yan sent him asking him not to go out early in the morning. He was puzzled and replied to Lou Yan’s message: [Why can’t I go out?]
Lou Yan responded in a bit: [Fu Xuezhou is here]
It was only a few words, but they instantly woke Duan Zege up from his drowsiness. He immediately replied earnestly: [Please remember to send me three meals a day. I won’t go out today. Thank you.]
Lou Yan, upon seeing this message, couldn’t help but be speechless at Duan Zege’s speed of submission.
He was so bold before, but now he’s chickening out without even meeting the main character?
However, Lou Yan still agreed to Duan Zege’s request. He had originally wanted to use Duan Zege to provoke Fu Xuezhou, but he was afraid that Fu Xuezhou would really kill Duan Zege, so he gave up on this dangerous idea.
At noon, the country announced through various channels such as television, internet, radio, and text messages that the era of Anomaly Resurgence had arrived.
The secret of the Anomaly Resurgence was now laid bare, causing a sensation across the country. All platforms exploded with activity, and everyone who saw the news went crazy rushing into stores to hoard various food and supplies. The crowd on the street was restless, bustling back and forth, with a tense atmosphere.
Lou Yan and the others hadn’t left the hotel. After having lunch in their room, they stood by the window, watching the anxious and excited people outside.
Various items were scattered across the street, vehicles and pedestrians moved in disarray. Those who had already heard the news quietly stayed at home, locking their doors and windows, waiting for the wave of unrest to pass quickly.
Police sirens sounded everywhere, and well-prepared police officers and traffic police swiftly moved around on various roads, restraining some people’s excessive actions.
The heat of Lou Yan’s breath sprayed onto the glass, making it blurry. He raised his hand to wipe the glass clean and continued to watch the scene outside, letting out a soft sigh.
In his memory, every time the country announced the fact of Anomaly Resurgence, there would always be a wave of turmoil. But fortunately, people always had to live on. Anomaly Resurgence was not a disaster that could destroy human society in an instant. Plus, with the establishment of the Anomaly Control Bureau, within a week, these turbulences could gradually be suppressed, and then people would go back to work, eat their meals, and fear what they feared. Except for constantly being prepared for the possibility of Anomaly Resurgence around them, what else could ordinary people do?
They still had to live, and to live, they needed to eat, to have grains, salt, vegetables, electricity… everything that could keep them alive. Except for some people standing at the top of the social pyramid and some rural people who had land to be self-sufficient, most people could only cautiously guard against the mysterious traps in life and continue to live in the dangerous city.
“Fu Xuezhou,” Lou Yan looked at the chaos outside and suddenly spoke, “Do you want to have another competition?”
Fu Xuezhou stood beside him, looking outside with the same indifferent expression in his eyes. “Sure.”
Lou Yan turned to look at his side profile with no expression and smiled inexplicably. “By this time in the last life, you should have had quite a few followers, right? How come you’re still alone in this life?”
Fu Xuezhou said, “Looking for them is a waste of time.”
Lou Yan raised an eyebrow. He really thought that this statement should be heard by the followers who used to crazily worship Fu Xuezhou in the last life. “Without their help, do you ever feel inadequate?”
Fu Xuezhou turned to look at Lou Yan and met his gaze. “They are troublesome to me.”
This arrogant statement was said by Fu Xuezhou calmly, as if stating a fact. As one of Fu Xuezhou’s former followers, Lou Yan felt a momentary oppressive feeling as if a giant rock had fallen on him when he heard this. Even though Lou Yan resented Fu Xuezhou, even though he knew that Fu Xuezhou was not a trustworthy “savior,” for a moment, he still felt like a joke for having trusted and followed Fu Xuezhou for the past three lifetimes.
He remained silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, the laughter becoming lower and lower. “Yeah, the people who follow you need your protection to survive safely. For you, how could they not be troublesome… I’m curious, Fu Xuezhou, since you think they are troublesome, why do you keep allowing these troubles to follow you time and time again?”
Fu Xuezhou paused for a moment and said, “Where there are followers of the anomaly, there must be organizations that can deal with cultists.”
Lou Yan was stunned. He put away his smile and looked at Fu Xuezhou with a scrutinizing gaze. After a moment, his expression gradually became complicated. “So that’s how it is… You… “
Fu Xuezhou actually thought like this.
Just from this thought alone, it was hard to imagine that Fu Xuezhou would be a madman who would destroy the world and humanity. Lou Yan even couldn’t help but feel some doubts from the depths of his heart. What attitude did Fu Xuezhou really hold towards this world? What thoughts did he have about the future of all humanity?
What was the reason for him to destroy the world? Just because he couldn’t find the Anomaly Lord, so he wanted to destroy the entire world?
Did he ever have sincere thoughts of wanting to save the world?
Lou Yan suddenly had the urge to question Fu Xuezhou, but when this impulse met Fu Xuezhou’s cold and indifferent pitch-black eyes, he felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, instantly extinguishing all of Lou Yan’s impulses.
Lou Yan calmly asked, “Where’s your eagle? Why haven’t we seen it?”
Fu Xuezhou tilted his head and looked at Lou Yan, seemingly unaware of why Lou Yan suddenly asked about his eagle. But he patiently opened the window and whistled towards the sky, raising his arm.
A black dot swiftly descended from the sky, and the shape of the eagle continued to enlarge until it finally landed on Fu Xuezhou’s arm with a gust of wind.
The eagle looked at Lou Yan, staring fiercely at him, and threatened with its sharp beak open.
Lou Yan looked at the eagle with a smile. He knew the ability of this eagle very well, so naturally, he said, “Let your eagle see which city in the surrounding area has the most anomalies in the city. We’ll use that place as the location for the competition to see who can hunt down the most anomalies. How about it?”
Fu Xuezhou nodded. “Okay.”
After that, Fu Xuezhou patted the eagle’s head, his eyes softened slightly, and then he signaled for the eagle to fly away.
The eagle glared at Lou Yan fiercely, let out a couple of angry cries, and reluctantly spread its wings and flew up into the sky.
Over the next two days, Lou Yan and Fu Xuezhou spread out from Rongcheng to the surrounding cities, continuously hunting down anomalies.
The people of Rongcheng didn’t know that all the anomalies in their city had been eliminated by Lou Yan and Fu Xuezhou. After the initial turmoil, they calmed down faster than other cities because they found out with confusion that there seemed to be no Anomaly Resurgence in Rongcheng.
If they hadn’t known that the country couldn’t be teasing them, they would have thought that the country’s father had misspoken!
Some courageous people cautiously walked out of their homes after dark and found that nothing happened at all. After two or three days, many shops reopened, and Rongcheng returned to some of its former liveliness.
On this day, after Lou Yan and Fu Xuezhou had finished dealing with anomalies in another city and returned to the hotel in Rongcheng, they unexpectedly received a call from Cui Ansheng.
Cui Ansheng warmly invited him to have dinner at a small famous restaurant in Rongcheng tonight, asking Lou Yan to bring along a few good friends like Li Sanxin, and also urged Lou Yan to bring Fu Xuezhou along.
Lou Yan thought that Fu Xuezhou must have told Cui Ansheng about their presence in Rongcheng, so he didn’t think much of it. He just asked with some teasing, “Why do you want me to bring Fu Xuezhou along? You’re his friend. Didn’t you invite him?”
Cui Ansheng laughed bitterly twice, “Chief Lou is still so sharp. Alas… I’ll tell you the truth, I’ve had some conflicts with Ah Zhou, and Ah Zhou doesn’t want to talk to me now. I invited you guys over for dinner because I want Chief Lou to help me out and persuade Ah Zhou to resolve the conflicts between us.”
Lou Yan asked curiously, “What conflict did you two have?”
Cui Ansheng sighed and vaguely replied, “It’s not a big deal, just some differences in thoughts… Anyway, I’m counting on you, Chief Lou. With you here, Ah Zhou’s mood will be better, so please make sure to come tonight’s treat.”
Lou Yan squinted, sensing that there was something hidden here, and it was about Fu Xuezhou. He thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Sure. But I also need your help with something…”
