When he opened his eyes again, Liu Buli was surprised to find himself moving.
He looked around nervously for a moment, then immediately relaxed. His big dog was usually quite clingy and well-behaved.
Therefore, he would never let anyone else take Liu Buli away.
In the current situation, only Lu Wuming would be carrying Liu Buli around.
His initial nervousness completely dissipated, replaced by severe fatigue and exhaustion.
With a long sigh, Liu Buli couldn't be bothered to move himself. He leaned back into Lu Wuming's arms. "Wuming," he said, "where are we going now? According to your usual behavior, shouldn't you have stayed put until I woke up? Why are you moving on your own this time? Did something happen?"
He was simply asking a question.
After all, things were just as he said. When he was unconscious, Lu Wuming was always like a puppet with a broken string, obediently waiting by the side for Liu Buli to give him instructions after he woke up. It had always been this way for years, so his主动 action now made Liu Buli feel inexplicably strange.
However, in the next second, the truth made Liu Buli realize that he had overestimated his foolish disciple.
Lu Wuming's cheeks flushed red, as if he had thought of something unpleasant. After a long period of hesitation and indecision, he finally gave an honest answer. "Master, truthfully, if I could, I wouldn't want to take you away. It's just that the monster corpses have started to smell, rotting to such an extent that I was afraid you would be angry when you saw them. So, I thought it would be best to leave that place first. Otherwise, Master, you like cleanliness so much, it would have polluted your eyes."
Liu Buli: ...
The monster corpses had already rotted and stank, so how long had they been dealing with this?
And besides, if that wasn't the reason, this foolish disciple wouldn't have planned to let him go, would he? What obedient and cute big dog, that was all a deceptive facade! This was clearly a mad wolf cub!
Liu Buli once again painfully realized that his eyesight was not just bad.
Unfortunately, Lu Wuming completely failed to understand his current mood. As if on purpose, Lu Wuming looked around, then lowered his head to nuzzle Liu Buli's cheek. In a tone like a spoiled child, he said, "Master, look, it's quite clean around here. There are no monsters, no people. I can't see any corpses or anything like that. Can we..."
"No! Don't even think about it!" Liu Buli slapped away the approaching face and pushed him back without hesitation. He glared with anger and roared at Lu Wuming, "I already told you I can't. If you dare to continue, I'll abandon you right now and explore the secret realm by myself. Do you believe I'll do it!?"
He said this very loudly.
Lu Wuming could tell that his Master was truly angry.
He immediately put on a pitiful expression, his unseen ears and tail drooping. He truly looked like a dog abandoned by its owner.
However, after seeing this expression so many times, Liu Buli had passed the stage of feeling heartbroken and soft-hearted. He knew that in this regard, his foolish disciple's acting skills were unparalleled. Because of this, when faced with his aggrieved emotions, Liu Buli told himself that he absolutely could not fall into the same trap repeatedly!
So, to avoid softening his heart again, Liu Buli unhesitatingly looked away.
Lu Wuming waited quietly for a while.
Seeing that his Master truly had no intention of acknowledging him, he pouted aggrievedly and huffed, "Master, it's because Wuming loves you too much that I act this way. I can't control the restless feeling in my heart. If I don't find a way to vent it, I might just suffocate myself. Master, if you don't let me find solace in you, will you be angry if I find someone else?"
The moment these words were spoken, Liu Buli immediately looked back. He glared fiercely at the other person, but when his gaze met those smiling eyes, Liu Buli knew that he had been tricked by that rebellious disciple again.
What foolish disciple?
In matters like this, Lu Wuming was clearly not foolish at all!
He had all sorts of ways to keep Liu Buli's attention focused on him. For example, right now, with just a few simple words, Liu Buli had obediently turned back and successfully satisfied his desire for attention, hadn't he?
For a moment, Liu Buli almost felt that perhaps he was the foolish one.
This realization made him despair.
Taking a few deep breaths, Liu Buli lowered his head with a hint of grievance.
He was reflecting on his own foolishness.
Lu Wuming, however, misinterpreted his meaning, thinking that his words had angered Liu Buli and made his Master unhappy.
Hurriedly, with a hint of panic, he lowered his head and kissed Liu Buli's forehead again. Lu Wuming explained, "Master, Wuming didn't mean it like that. If you are unwilling, I don't care even if I suffocate. I will absolutely not find anyone else!"
He said this very earnestly, afraid that Liu Buli wouldn't believe his words. Seeing that there was no immediate response, Lu Wuming became anxious, wishing he could swear to the heavens to prove his loyalty. Fortunately, before he could act, Liu Buli finally responded.
He couldn't help but chuckle, and Liu Buli shook his head gently. "Even if I gave you the courage, you wouldn't dare to find anyone else. I still have that much confidence in you."
Lu Wuming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to say something to cheer up his Master, both of them frowned simultaneously.
As they moved forward, a violent spiritual energy fluctuation came from ahead.
This fluctuation was rather familiar.
It meant that cultivators were fighting up ahead.
