I must say, Ding Hui really is a genius.
Fang Yu didn’t understand something, and Ding Hui clarified it in just a few words.
Because of this, Ding Hui didn’t need to say much more, as there was nothing left to explain.
To her, cultivating this technique seemed so simple, the rest was up to Fang Yu’s comprehension.
And comprehension was Fang Yu’s strong suit.
Shen Lan, add a point!
[Attribute Points: 2→1.]
[Two-Heart Lock [Untrained] → Two-Heart Lock [Beginner Flower Stage/Initial Insight].]
Next is my second elder sister.
Once her health gets a bit better, we’ll lock hearts together!
Honestly, after last night’s explanation from Ding Hui, Fang Yu already understood the true purpose of the Two-Heart Lock.
This thing was not created for a [strong person] and a [weak person] to lock hearts.
But for a [strong person] to lock with another [strong person].
That way, when one suffers a fatal heart injury, they can continue to live by sharing the heart of the other strong person.
Even more extreme, it could be used as a deadly tactic, exposing a weakness to the enemy on purpose, and when the heart is shattered, striking back at the enemy who thinks you’re dead.
From any perspective, the greatest benefit comes from two strong individuals locking hearts with each other.
But Fang Yu doesn’t really need this thing, as he can live even if his heart is shattered without using the Two-Heart Lock.
Maybe lock it with the Green Demon?
But the Green Demon is so strong, it seems there’s no need to lock him in.
Aside from tonight’s great crisis, the Green Demon rarely encounters any danger.
Not to mention that he will transform more carefully after this experience, especially since he’s successfully undergoing the shedding process.
Leaving Ding Hui, who is still sleeping, Fang Yu plans to head out alone to the Foolish Underworld.
He has to kill demons, become stronger, and break through the Grass Stage as soon as possible.
Last night was a huge shock to him.
Damn it, all those gang leaders, they’re stronger than a hundred households. He’d been so complacent, thinking he was stronger than Li Baizhen. How many more foes could there be in Tianyuan Town?
Kill demons, slay prisoners, become more powerful.
Fang Yu sets his goals.
He pushes the door and goes out.
He sees his second elder sister just coming out of her room.
Slightly startled, Fang Yu smiles and says,
"Good morning, Second Elder Sister."
"Uh... um, where’s Doctor Ding?"
"She’s still sleeping inside."
Sleeping, sleeping, huh...
"I’ll go make breakfast!"
"I won’t be eating at home today. The Foolish Underworld is a bit busy, I’ll just buy something on the street."
The second elder sister wanted to say more, but Fang Yu had already stepped out the door.
"My little brother... is getting busier and busier."
The second elder sister can feel that ever since Diao Deyi joined the Foolish Underworld, he spends less and less time at home.
But, it’s all for work, for making money, she can understand.
Besides, there’s a new family member, and even news about the older brother is looking up. Life is moving in a good direction.
"Should I also look for a job?"
"If big brother has become a slave, the ransom will definitely be expensive..."
"I haven’t heard from Silk Sister in several days, I wonder if the Luo Shen Cloth Workshop still needs me."
The second elder sister feels somewhat down.
She had finally gotten a job at the Luo Shen Cloth Workshop, and then suddenly they didn’t need people anymore.
Although she got paid a bit, it wasn’t comparable to a regular job’s income.
Thinking about her own abilities, she cannot figure out what work she can do at the moment.
So she focuses on making breakfast first.
Doctor Ding is still in the room, so she also prepares a portion for her.
In the future... if there ever is a baby, the Diao Family can have descendants...
The second elder sister’s face turns red as she thinks about things far off in the future.
Walking on the street, Fang Yu finds it odd that there’s hardly anyone discussing last night’s events.
There was a battle between immortals last night?
Don’t you guys have any reaction?
Sitting at a small stall, Fang Yu eats the steamed buns he bought with soy milk and pricks up his ears to listen in on the latest gossip these people are discussing.
"Have you heard? A new girl arrived at the Luoli Square, her name is Shuang Weiwei. She’s absolutely stunning!"
"Did you go too? I was there, so many scholars fought over Shuang Weiwei. In the end, some fat rich merchant took her away. So frustrating!"
I mean, why are you discussing this?
Shouldn’t there be something, something far more important, more explosive, and more topical than your brothel music tales?
Changing targets, he listens to another table’s gossip.
Fang Yu instantly perks up.
Then he hears people at that table continue.
"... What a terrible death for the ninth son of the Lin Family! Heard that the Lin Family is now searching the entire town for that demon. The reward they’re offering is so huge, if we could find that Green Demon, we wouldn’t have to worry for a lifetime."
"That’s for sure! It’s a reward from the Lin Family, would they not be generous? But let’s not dream about that Green Demon. If we encounter such a Great Demon, we wouldn’t even have time to run, much less inform the Lin Family. We’re just dreaming."
Somehow, this feels odd.
Fang Yu thinks it through.
And immediately understands what’s odd.
Their information is very behind.
Or rather, there’s a significant delay.
Fang Yu realizes suddenly.
Although in the game, there are demons and martial arts...
Transmitting information is still similar to ancient times.
Spreading news widely requires time.
The most effective method is through posting notices.
But as for the Lin Family, who had the Green Demon killed last night, and Li Shiquan, those major demons, and the Lin Family Patriarch fighting, no one knows the final outcome.
