Chapter 489: Four hundred eighty-seven, gift

"I used an Invisibility Talisman, they won’t be able to find me," Lu Hanmo said with a smile. She had won the competition, how could he not celebrate with her?

Bowing his head, Lu Hanmo kissed Luo Shu’s smooth forehead, "I have something for you, close your eyes."

Luo Shu nodded with a smile and closed her eyes.

With a flip of his hand, a box appeared in Lu Hanmo’s, "You can open your eyes now."

Luo Shu opened her eyes and saw the box in Lu Hanmo’s hands. She smiled brightly and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Open it and see!" Lu Hanmo handed the box to Luo Shu.

Taking the box, Luo Shu couldn’t wait to open it. Inside was a wooden music box, and on top of the box were a pair of wood-carved dolls that looked remarkably like her and Hanmo.

"Where did you buy this?" Luo Shu excitedly looked at Lu Hanmo. She would like anything he gave her.

"I made it," Lu Hanmo said with a smile. He hadn’t been in this world long before he met a woodworker, who was best at making these kinds of trinkets. Thinking she would like it, he learned how to make a music box from the woodworker and spent two days crafting this one.

He had wanted to give it to her the day they met, but he got so excited that he forgot. Seeing her win the competition today reminded him to give her the music box.

When Luo Shu wound up the music box, delightful tinkling sounds immediately filled the air, "I really like it! It’s so beautiful!"

Seeing the smile on Luo Shu’s face, the smile on Lu Hanmo’s lips deepened even more.

"Hanmo, I’ve always forgotten to ask you, what about the warriors who came with you?" Luo Shu asked.

"I left them in Yushang Village, which is a place where mortals live. They haven’t cultivated and it’s too dangerous for them to be out with me," Lu Hanmo explained. He had finally survived; how could he let them fall into danger again?

"As long as they are alright," Luo Shu said with a smile. Surely the families of those warriors were also waiting for them to return.

Lu Hanmo, still smiling, wrapped his arms around Luo Shu’s waist and gently rested his chin on her shoulder, "Once we get the map, we’ll go find them and bring them back." Even if the map didn’t show the location of the Teleportation Array, he would find a way to take everyone back with him.

The next morning’s competition was Artifact Refining, and the winner was Yun Han.

Luo Shu smiled and sent Yun Han a congratulatory look. She wasn’t surprised at all that he had won first place.

The afternoon was for Formation competitions. Knowing that Lu Hanmo would definitely take part in this event, Luo Shu did not sign up to compete. Instead of participating herself, she preferred to watch Hanmo’s elegance on the stage from below. In her eyes, Hanmo looked good no matter what he did—this must be what people meant when they said ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’

With the conclusion of the four individual events, the doubles duel competition officially kicked off on the third day.

Almost all of the four hundred participating cultivators pinned their hopes of victory on this competition.

The duel competition was different from the individual ones; it required drawing lots to determine the opponent. The winners of the first round would draw lots again to decide the opponent for the second round. This would continue until only two contenders remained on the Competition Stage, where the final battle for victory would take place.

There were ten competition stages, and in the first round, Luo Shu’s opponent was a Spirit Division Phase cultivator from the Phoenix Feather Country, whose strength was comparable to hers. Because she was ranked high, it was her turn to compete in the first round.

Seeing her opponent, Luo Shu smiled; it truly was a small world. Her opponent was none other than the cultivator who had caused trouble for Mo Lixu that day.

The other party was also surprised when they saw Luo Shu; they then burst into laughter. If he could defeat Luo Shu, he would become famous. Now, in everyone’s eyes, Luo Shu was a celebrity, and countless people admired her for her impressive performance that day. If he could defeat her, how many people would idolize him.

"Please enlighten me!" Luo Shu smiled and gave a salute to her opponent.

Yang Jiayu also returned the salute with a smile, "Let’s make it quick." With that, he flashed forward, summoned a Giant Axe, and launched an attack at Luo Shu.

Luo Shu waved her hand, and a silver whip appeared. It drew a silver arc in mid-air and struck toward Yang Jiayu. This Silver Whip was a gift from Yun Han and she preferred using it over other Magic Artifacts because it was light, flexible, and easy to control.

Before Yang Jiayu could bring down his Giant Axe, his hand gripping the axe was entangled by Luo Shu’s attacking whip.

With a tug, the Giant Axe flew out of Yang Jiayu’s hand.

The Giant Axe, like a shooting star, drew a beautiful arc in the sky and landed on the ground with a loud "bang!" The entire head of the axe was deeply embedded in the ground, and only the handle was trembling.

Luo Shu curled her lips into a smile, and before Yang Jiayu could react, she launched another attack with her whip.

"Crack, crack, crack!" The audience below could only see flashes of silver light on the stage, accompanied by the sound of the whip and Yang Jiayu’s wretched screams.

When Luo Shu finally ceased whipping, Yang Jiayu was seen tattered and covered with whip marks on his face and body. He looked like a beggar that had crawled out from somewhere, the very epitome of misery.

"I’ve lost, I’ve lost, I surrender!" Seeing Luo Shu about to swing her whip again, Yang Jiayu hurriedly raised his hands and pleaded for mercy. Just from one move, he knew he was no match for Luo Shu. His earlier thought of defeating her was simply a pipe dream.
