28: Chapter 28 Shen Qingci: Am I also your white moonlight?

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Sister Shangguan is my protector and needs to protect me, so she will be staying at our home for this period. Is that okay?"

Lu Xi and Zheng Ying nodded repeatedly.

"Okay! That is more than okay! It brings great honor to our humble home!"

This was Shangguan Yunshu!

Usually, even the high-ranking officials of Linglan City couldn't get a glimpse of such a big figure, right?

If those leaders knew that Shangguan Yunshu was living in their house, the Lu family's faces would be glowing with pride!

Zheng Ying looked at Shangguan Yunshu, then at Lu Yang, with a hint of caution in her tone, "Lady Shangguan, what would you like for dinner tonight? I will go buy the groceries."

Shangguan Yunshu's voice was calm and gentle, "At Tier 5, I no longer need to eat. Just follow your own living habits."

Zheng Ying nodded repeatedly, "Oh, oh."

Seeing that Lu Xi and Zheng Ying looked a bit nervous and cautious, Shangguan Yunshu said calmly, "I am going back to my room."

"G-Got it! Please get some good rest, Lady Shangguan!" Lu Xi hurriedly nodded.

Shangguan Yunshu nodded slightly, turned and walked into the guest room, pulling the door shut behind her.

With a click of the door lock, the highly condensed air in the living room finally dissipated a bit.

Lu Yang could clearly feel that his parents breathed a sigh of relief.

He leaned against the sofa with a mischievous smile on his face, "You guys seemed really nervous just now, didn't you?"

Lu Xi and Zheng Ying came back to their senses.

They didn't mind Lu Yang's teasing and pulled him over at once.

Lu Xi leaned in close to Lu Yang, his eyes turning slightly green with eagerness, "What on earth is going on?! Tell us about it."

Lu Yang smiled and briefly recounted how he had previously cleared the Demon-difficulty dungeon solo.

Of course, Lu Yang didn't mention his Immortal Talent, nor did he mention that he could gain a Soul Talent every time he leveled up.

He only said that his Soul Talent was quite powerful.

After all, Lu Xi and Zheng Ying were not combat-class professionals, and their understanding of Soul Talents stopped at the superficial knowledge presented in the news and popular science channels.

But as for soloing a Nightmare-difficulty dungeon and successfully clearing it, even ordinary lifestyle-class professionals knew the sheer weight of such a feat.

After hearing this, both of their expressions changed through several rounds like a flipping book, filled with a mix of shock and joy.

Lu Xi's face turned flush with excitement, and he patted Lu Yang's shoulder repeatedly, "As expected of my son! You've really brought glory to your old man! That's amazing!"

Zheng Ying also stood aside, nodding repeatedly. Her eye sockets were slightly red, her eyes filled with pride, and she couldn't suppress her smile, "Yangyang is truly amazing!"

Looking at this scene, Lu Yang's heart was also filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Before his Transmigration, he was just an ordinary person, neither achieving much nor fitting in well, watching his parents age year by year without ever being able to truly give them peace of mind.

Deep down, he had always felt extremely guilty.

In this life, he never expected that he would actually become the pride in his parents' hearts.

This sense of fulfillment was something that even soloing the Nightmare dungeon had never brought him.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Mom, go buy some good food today; you've got to reward me after all, right?"

Without a second word, Zheng Ying picked up the handbag she had just placed on the entryway cabinet and walked outside, "I'll go right now!"

After eating and drinking to their fill, the sky had completely darkened.

On both sides of the street outside the window, neon lights flickered, and the light leaked through the gaps in the blinds, painting faint stripes across the ceiling.

Lu Yang returned to his room, and after washing up, he collapsed headfirst onto the bed.

The mattress was of moderate firmness, carrying the dry scent of the sun, and once he sank into it, he didn't want to move anymore.

He tapped on the messages in his personal terminal and found that quite a few people had sent him messages.

He raised his wrist and lit up the projection light screen of his personal terminal.

The light blue interface spread out beneath the dim ceiling, and unread messages had already piled up in the message list.

He flipped through them, finding a few friends from his class, as well as some female classmates who usually barely spoke to him.

These messages were all largely the same, asking how he did in the rookie dungeon, whether he dropped any good equipment, and so on.

Lu Yang only picked a few with whom he had a decent relationship to reply to, briefly mentioning his results.

This immediately elicited a chorus of gasps from them, virtually bowing down to him and calling him adoptive father while begging to be carried.

As for the others, Lu Yang didn't reply.

After all, they weren't close to begin with.

Especially those girls, who sent him all kinds of heavily filtered and edited photos, asking him if they looked good.

Lu Yang felt it really wasn't necessary, it's not like he hadn't seen the Immortal Master...

However, Wu You was indeed quite pretty, and her tone of voice was also very gentle and considerate.

Unfortunately, Lu Yang had now met an even better girl, so he didn't reply much.

Lu Yang felt a little guilty, thinking that he was simply a scumbag.

Just yesterday and this morning he was still chatting with her a bit.

Yet half a day later, he was barely paying attention to her.

However, this slight guilt was quickly thrown to the back of his mind by him.

The two of them didn't have any substantial relationship anyway.

Shen Qingci and Rebecca naturally sent him messages as well, and Lu Yang opened Shen Qingci's message.

Shen Qingci: "Hello there, classmate Lu Yang, hee hee~ Who would have thought that our No. 4 High School would actually produce a big shot! (Rabbit peeking out.jpg)"

Shen Qingci: "I asked a classmate, you used to be in Class 7, right? We weren't on the same floor, no wonder I had never seen you before."

The two messages were separated by more than half an hour.

Looking at the peeking cartoon rabbit on the screen, Lu Yang couldn't help but smile.

He turned over, lying on his side on the bed, and replied, "I was busy earlier, so I only just saw the message. I am indeed from Class 7. But back during morning exercises, I had seen you before, after all, you were the prettiest one in the school."

Shen Qingci's message came back very quickly; within a few seconds of Lu Yang sending his, the reply arrived: "Is Lady Shangguan at your house? Are you busy arranging things for Lady Shangguan? Where is she as pretty as you say?! You praised me so much that I'm getting embarrassed. (Shy.jpg)"

Lu Yang: "Yeah, Sister Shangguan is at my house. I always speak the truth, you really are very pretty. You are the white moonlight of all the boys in No. 4 High School."

Shen Qingci: "Hahaha, I believe you! Right, what level are you at now?"

Lu Yang: "Just hit level 9."

Shen Qingci: "So fast! Rebecca and I duoed half a Nightmare dungeon, and we're only a bit over level 5 now! Absorbing all the EXP from an entire Nightmare-difficulty dungeon by yourself really makes leveling up fast."

Lu Yang couldn't help but smile, typing rapidly in response: "A Genius is just like this, nothing can be done about it. (Hands on hips laughing loudly.jpg)"

Shen Qingci: "(Envious.jpg) Yes, yes, yes, great Genius! Once you become powerful in the future, don't forget about me, your alumni!"

Looking at this message, the corners of Lu Yang's lips curved slightly, his fingers tapped a few words on the screen, and he frankly sent it over: "Joking, which man would forget his own white moonlight?"

Then the other side instantly went silent.

Lu Yang could see at the top of her chat page that [The other party is typing] appeared for a moment, then disappeared again.

This repeated several times.

Obviously, Shen Qingci was rendered somewhat speechless by Lu Yang's words, not knowing how to reply.

Just as Lu Yang was planning to exit the chat page and see what Rebecca had said, Shen Qingci's message came through.

"So, am I also your white moonlight?"

Without hesitation, Lu Yang directly replied with two words: "Yes."

[The other party is typing]

Shen Qingci went silent once more.

Lu Yang waited for a while, but didn't see Shen Qingci reply.

He didn't think too much about it; after all, he was just expressing his own thoughts.

As for what thoughts Shen Qingci had, he didn't want to guess, nor did he bother to guess.

Guessing a girl's thoughts was truly not something a single dog like him could pull off.

He exited the chat page with Shen Qingci and opened Rebecca's chat page.

Upon seeing the first sentence, a massive question mark slowly surfaced in Lu Yang's mind.

Rebecca: "Handsome, my parents told me to pursue you. Do you think I have a chance?"

Lu Yang: "？？？？？"

Lu Yang's mind conjured up Rebecca's appearance.

A brilliantly charming and pretty face, brilliant blonde hair, heroic yet bewitching beauty, and a smoking hot figure...

Holy crap!

Such a great beauty actually said she wanted to pursue him?!

And asked if she had a chance?

Lu Yang felt his heartbeat accelerate slightly.

He took a deep breath, tapped his fingers on the light screen, and bluntly typed back: "I've never been in a relationship, I should be pretty easy to pursue."

Rebecca's message was practically an instant reply: "Pretty easy to pursue? You're so casual~ Then I won't pursue you anymore."

Lu Yang: "? (You are kidding me.jpg)"

Rebecca: "Hahaha, just kidding. Mostly because I'm not casual, who pursues a boy the very first time they meet? Right? We should at least get to know each other first, right?"

Lu Yang: "What you said makes sense."

Rebecca: "Right, so what is your fetish?"

Lu Yang: "？？？？？"

His body lying on the bed suddenly stiffened, his pupils dilated in shock, and his heart was deeply shaken.

This... this fellow, why does she feel like an entirely different species from Shen Qingci?

How did these two become best friends?

Lu Yang always felt that he was currently being teased.

Lu Yang replied indignantly: "Who asks about someone's fetish as the very first question when getting to know them?! And it's even asked by a girl!"

Rebecca replied instantly, her tone innocent: "Isn't that right? It's my first time planning to understand a boy, so I didn't know~ Well then, I won't ask anymore~"

Lu Yang: "..."

S-So formidable!

Through the light screen, Lu Yang could feel that overwhelming pressure washing over him from Rebecca.

This woman really knows how to flirt!

It made him a bit unable to hold his ground!
