Chapter 210 Damn Talent

"Ahem."

Officer Pei Yuanheng interrupted him: "Alright, shut up. Letting Chen Yu decide is enough."

"Yes!"

Cheng Minglang immediately shut his mouth!

Chen Yu didn't answer, then turned and walked toward the bridge railing...

No one followed him. Everyone had some discernment and knew that waiting in place was the best choice at this moment!

Chen Yu temporarily ignored the Treasure Chest at the head of the bridge.

He bent down and picked up that bright yellow talisman paper from the stone railing.

[Wangchuan Talisman]

Description: Memory is the root of pain. Those images, sounds, and faces are like rooted thorns that cannot be pulled out or rotted away; they only grow deeper with time.

Effect: Attaching the Wangchuan Talisman to a target can gradually strip away all of the target's memories and seal them into the talisman. The sealed individual will gradually forget who they are and what they have experienced, starting life anew.

"?"

Chen Yu frowned: "Wangchuan, forgetting memories?"

That Taoist kept insisting he would definitely need it; he almost believed his nonsense.

As a reincarnator, Chen Yu's greatest advantage was his memory.

If his memories were stripped away, he would just be an unremarkable, ordinary person with immense strength.

No matter how he looked at it, this was an unacceptable proposition.

As for what was said in the description of the [Wangchuan Talisman]: Those images, sounds, and faces are like rooted thorns that cannot be pulled out or rotted away; they only grow deeper with time...

For Chen Yu, this was not the case.

In his past life, he was backstabbed, but in this life, he had already punished those people several times over.

The only one who escaped punishment was named Gu Xicheng, the instructor of the Debate Society and one of the bastards from his past life.

On the night of the Debate Society massacre, Chen Yu had asked Zhang Zixuan about him.

Unfortunately, that fellow, just like himself, hadn't boarded the Debate Society's bus and hadn't even entered the three-school Living Area.

Chen Yu shook his head.

He suppressed these thoughts for the time being.

In short, he wasn't suffering because of his memories, so this [Wangchuan Talisman] was truly meaningless.

Unless—

Zhang Shouyi calculated that he would experience something terrifying in the future, and clearing his memory would be the only way?

No.

No, no, no.

Chen Yu immediately dismissed this answer because he really couldn't imagine...

What kind of terrifying event would require the use of a Wangchuan Talisman.

As it stood, two choices lay before him:

Accept it, or not?

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and silently tucked the [Wangchuan Talisman] into his pocket.

"Anyway, my word doesn't count for much."

"I'll take it first and see."

As for the building material treasure chest nearby...

Chen Yu picked it up gently and went straight to find Zhang Wanyue to continue opening chests!

...

As night approached, the last smear of orange-red on the horizon was swallowed by gray-blue, and the outlines of the palm leaves gradually blurred in the twilight.

"Not a single one, haven't even seen a shadow of them."

"What exactly is going on?"

At the military base, Minglang led his men on a circuit around the edge of the forest, returning with a face full of disbelief.

The seagrass hadn't attacked tonight.

Officer Pei Yuanheng nodded. "As it stands, there are indeed no signs of a seagrass attack. Notify everyone to temporarily set aside their harvesting work and conduct a large-scale patrol."

"Yes!"

In the fern thicket a few hundred meters away,

Chen Yu looked at the Water Bubble before him; its halo was as bright as a small sun, illuminating the entire clearing as if it were day.

Chen Yu squatted beside it, looking at the panel floating in front of him.

[Pet: Water Bubble]

[Description: Rumored to be born at the bottom of deep pools, it is a spiritual creature formed from the condensation of water essence. Its temperament is gentle and clingy.]

[Rating: D]

[Level: lv1]

[Comprehensive Attribute: 40]

[Current void index: 719!]

Yes, 719. With this heaven-defying value, once it activated its skill and revealed its true size, no matter how powerful Zhang Shouyi's SSS-rank pet was, it wouldn't even be enough to survive being sat on, right?

"Gulu gulu!"

Water Bubble also let out an indignant cry. At this moment, its size had returned to that of a rubber ball, and even its halo had dimmed slightly, looking completely harmless and dim-witted.

Chen Yu stood up, brushed the dust off his hands, and walked toward the Baby Bus treehouse. Moonlight leaked through the gaps in the palm leaves, scattering broken silver across the ground.

He suddenly paused and instantly dodged behind a palm tree, his back pressed against the rough trunk.

He poked half a head out and looked toward the treehouse.

Liu Manqing was squatting behind a palm tree at the treehouse entrance, hiding just like him.

However, her clothing had undergone some changes compared to before...

Her upper body wore a small knitted vest, left open, with a white camisole underneath. The vest's buttons weren't fastened, and the neckline was loosely draped, revealing a section of her collarbone.

The thin straps of the camisole rested on her shoulders, looking as if they might slip off at any moment.

Her lower body was a short skirt, the hem extremely brief. When she squatted, the hem pulled up even further. After all, she was more voluptuous than Li Mengyao, so the skirt was tighter on her, the Fabric clinging to her waist and hips.

When Li Mengyao wore this outfit, it was youthful and playful.

When Aunt Liu wore it, it had a different flavor, like a mother who had secretly put on her daughter's clothes? It was clearly ill-fitting, yet because of that ill-fit, it created a contrast that made it impossible to look away...

Chen Yu stood behind her, and an unknown surge of heat rose to his lower dantian.

"Damn Talent, begone quickly!"

Chen Yu secretly cursed the [Red Phoenix Tribulation Seat]. To think it wanted to increase the red luan at a time like this?

That was Aunt Liu!

Chen Yu took several deep breaths of the warm air, which only made his dantian hotter, as if he had taken some kind of drug. It was extremely uncomfortable!

"Sigh, Talent, oh Talent, to think you would harm me like this."

"If you must harm me, then so be it."

"There's nothing to be done about it."

Chen Yu spoke to himself. Even though there wasn't a single audience member around, he still spoke seriously: "Aunt Liu, I'm sorry. All of this is for the sake of your and Li Mengyao's future."

On the other side...

Liu Manqing hid in the shadows, her entire being swallowed by the darkness, with only her eyes shining slightly in the night.

She squatted, keeping her body very low. She needed to see Xiao Yu's state before deciding on her next move.

After all, if Xiao Yu was clear-headed and recognized her, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

Her fingers gripped the hem of her skirt, trembling slightly.

She had asked around during the day. Wang Mengmeng said Xiao Yu and Officer Pei's group had disappeared for the entire day without a trace, and there was a high probability they had gone to find those Taoists again...

[Those Taoists from the neighboring island... actually use... mental attacks.]

Liu Manqing even somewhat hoped that Xiao Yu was in a state of chaos or confusion.

Not for any other reason, but simply to maintain Mengyao's position in Xiao Yu's heart. That would be enough.

"Xiao Yu..."

"Don't blame Auntie, this is all out of necessity..."
