Stealing The Yuri Protagonist Harem

Chapter 445: Chapter 444: A Surprise For You

Chapter 444: A Surprise For You

It caught up?

Luo Wusheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

With a flick of his wrist, [Phantomless 2.0] appeared in his hand.

Demon Moon still hadn’t been fully refined, so he can’t open a stable passage to the mortal realm... If he’d been tracked down before then, he’d have to fight a bit—stall the pursuer’s advance, then quickly head to the next spatial layer.

Surely his luck wouldn’t be bad enough for the other party to stumble upon him twice in a row, right?

Well, there was an even worse possibility—that he might accidentally jump straight into the space where the enemy was waiting...

Just then, Luo Wusheng felt something stir within his heart.

Perhaps because he’d already unraveled a certain degree of the Demon Moon’s restrictions, though he still couldn’t yet open the passage to the mortal realm, the barrier blocking information between this world and the outside had completely vanished.

And so—

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz～～～

At the waist of the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint, a wide-bladed short sword began to shake uncontrollably with a violent hum.

Heavens!

The sudden change caught Luo Wusheng completely off guard, his concentration faltering in an instant.

The spiritual energy he had been about to channel into [Phantomless 2.0] dispersed abruptly.

’Not good—if that thing catches up right now...’

He hastily tried to recondense his energy.

But in the next instant, something shot out from his storage bag on its own.

It’s a piece of jade.

’Hm?’

Luo Wusheng quickly recalled the origin of this mysterious jade that had suddenly appeared before him.

It was a gift from the Empress—found, she said, within the Palace of Fate of the Ancient Heavenly Gate. The Immortal Nation had kept it as a collection piece for countless years but had never managed to unravel its secrets.

Still, this jade wasn’t the same one that had previously caused so much trouble for him and Lu Yuliu.

The structure within this one was nearly the exact opposite of that other piece, the one capable of generating strange gravitational forces.

The jade floated into the air, and an ineffable, profound power began to ripple outward from its center.

Then Luo Wusheng witnessed something utterly bizarre.

Perhaps because the seals on the Demon Moon had been released and the layers of restrictions within had been violently broken, the golden feather that had been manipulating the dragon corpse lost precise control over the space rift it had opened—tearing open yet another spatial rift behind the first one...

"Fouuund... you—uh??"

The dragon corpse’s hoarse, heavy voice froze mid-roar.

It stared blankly at the empty space before it, a pair of golden-stained eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

It had... grabbed nothing.

Impossible! It had been tracking its target through a medium that allowed it to lock onto that presence step by step—just now, it had clearly confirmed a single, unmistakable location. When it pierced through the rift, it definitely sensed the target’s aura...

So why had it suddenly lost them?

The surge of emotion it experienced was so violent that the once-mad dragon corpse even regained a shred of lucidity.

Meanwhile, Luo Wusheng—who had witnessed the entire process—was utterly dumbfounded.

He had just watched a massive black dragon emerge from a spatial rift... only to glide, seamlessly and elegantly, straight into another one that was barely a hair’s breadth away.

The whole sequence was so smooth and natural that, if not for having seen both rifts with his own eyes—and the trace of dragon blood left between them—Luo Wusheng might have thought he was hallucinating.

’A coincidence?’

Could there be such a coincidence?

He cast a thoughtful glance at the strange jade, which was now slowly descending from midair.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it.

"Seal!"

After retrieving the jade and tucking it back into his bag, Luo Wusheng let out a low shout.

The orb glowing faintly in his hand flickered once.

The two space rifts that had just been opened were immediately compressed by some unseen force, closing at incredible speed.

Moreover, this realm—now fully sealed again—seemed to have become slightly more stable than before, as though strengthened by a new layer of protection.

It was one of the permissions Luo Wusheng had swiftly gained after breaking the Demon Moon’s internal restrictions.

Although it couldn’t completely stop that golden feather—most likely belonging to the new Netherking—from continuing to open a passage into this space through the remaining seals inside the Demon Moon, Luo Wusheng could at least slow down the process to some degree.

And as long as he kept forcefully breaking more of the restrictions left behind by the Netherkin race, the balance would gradually tilt in his favor.

’If I can completely erase all the seals... perhaps I could even trap it here?’

Hmm, though that might be a bit difficult. After all, there were countless hidden restrictions left within the Demon Moon. Unless he could fully refine the Artifact itself and purge it inside and out, it would be nearly impossible to cleanse all the foundational imprints. Other Netherkin might not have access—but the new Netherking surely held a backdoor to leave this space for the mortal realm.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Luo Wusheng suddenly froze.

From the Artifact in his hand came a surge of information.

The dragon corpse—controlled by the golden feather of the new Netherking—had left this fragmented, multi-layered world.

"Don’t tell me it tore open another rift and went straight into the mortal realm this time...?"

Or was there some deeper scheme at play?

Luo Wusheng frowned slightly.

He had no idea where that dragon corpse had emerged in the mortal realm. Could it be in the royal capital? In that case, wouldn’t the Immortal Nation suddenly be facing another Tribulation Crossing realm opponent?

Though that dragon corpse seemed somewhat off—its mind clearly muddled—the strength it exuded was undoubtedly of the Tribulation Crossing realm.

Moreover, just before it vanished, Luo Wusheng had sensed a trace of Buddhist energy from its body.

Now that he himself had cultivated the Buddhist Golden Body, he was especially sensitive to that kind of aura.

Netherkin race... and Buddhist power.

That combination made Luo Wusheng, who had until now been treating this demon uprising rather casually, feel a rare sense of gravity.

He thought for a moment, then glanced toward the young girl he had placed safely aside earlier—Miss Kirin.

For some reason, she still hadn’t woken up. Her exquisitely beautiful face was faintly furrowed, as if trapped in a nightmare.

But on her cheeks was a light blush, and from her lips came soft, sleepy murmurs.

"Die die die die die..."

"..."

With Luo Wusheng’s current level of hearing, he could make out every word clearly at this distance.

The content wasn’t exactly complicated—just the word die, repeated over and over... but with each repetition, the tone grew sharper, full of grim determination.

And occasionally, she would even mutter the name of a certain Luo, the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect—one syllable at a time.

He had originally thought to wake her up and see if she had any way to handle the situation in the royal capital...

But now, looking at her sleeping face—beautiful, peaceful, and just a little terrifying—Luo Wusheng decided perhaps it was better not to ruin the moment by waking her.

But that raised another problem—how was he supposed to find out what was happening outside? How could he confirm the current situation?

’Oh, right! I can just ask Little Yuli!’

Now that the signal interference was gone, his daily "online chatting" sessions with the Sword Fairy could finally resume.

"It’s just... this design where all the messages pile up during the blackout and then flood in all at once when the signal returns—honestly, it’s so inhumane... No wonder that never happened in the early parts of the original story. I wasn’t prepared at all, and it almost got me killed..."

The messenger short sword’s vibration wasn’t just a normal shaking—it carried a pulse that struck directly at the spirit. One or two shakes weren’t an issue, but when thousands of those pulses stacked together and went off all at once—especially at a life-or-death moment—that was truly fatal.

’Let’s see what Little Yuli actually sent me these past two days... that last shock felt like at least several thousand messages hitting all at once!’

Normally, when chatting with Little Yuli, even over two days of constant chatting would barely hit a five hundred messages total!

And this time, not even two full days had passed since the signal got blocked.

Did Little Yuli overdose on something?

He grumbled inwardly, but a warm smile crept across Luo Wusheng’s face.

Even without getting a single reply, that Sword Fairy had kept messaging him nonstop... If that wasn’t a sign of worry over his disappearance, what else could it be?

He began scrolling through the messages with practiced ease, running his finger down the blade as his eyes quickly skimmed the contents.

Little Yuli’s messages over the past two days could roughly be divided into three categories.

The first part was a series of repeated calls and inquiries—pretending not to care, but clearly brimming with tsundere concern.

For example:

[Xiaoyao keeps asking where you went. She’s so annoying. I really didn’t want to ask, but she wouldn’t stop pestering me... so I guess I’ll ask what you’re up to now. Not because I care or anything!]

Charming, in its own way.

The second part, though, caught Luo Wusheng off guard.

It was a flood of blessings.

[Hmph. You’re clearly off doing something shady and mysterious again. I’m not worried about you. But since I’ve been staying at your place all this time, I’ll send you some good luck wishes. You always beg me for them whenever you sneak off somewhere weird anyway, so this time I’ll spare you the groveling～]

"Groveling"... she meant when he couldn’t stop calling her name, didn’t she?

’As expected of my adorable Little Yuli—still as adorably sharp-tongued and refreshingly tsundere as ever.’

Luo Wusheng smiled faintly as he read, but then a thought stirred within him.

Could it be that the reason he’d managed to dodge the pursuing black dragon—and watch it embarrass itself—was because Little Yuli’s blessings had arrived just in time?

He had assumed it was the jade given by the Empress that had triggered the mysterious effect, but what if Little Yuli’s blessing had been what caused the jade to react at precisely that moment?

’And, come to think of it, my luck really has been pretty good these past two days...’

He sighed in admiration.

Then his gaze fell on the third and largest batch of messages—and he scratched his head in puzzlement.

The so-called "third part" consisted mostly of blank messages.

"What on earth did Little Yuli try to send me? Why did she retract so many messages...?"

"Huh? Wait—there are a few recent ones that just came through... Isn’t Little Yuli supposed to be busy right now with the Human Immortal List and helping deal with the Netherkin race chaos? She somehow found time to message me?"

The Demon Sect Holy Saint felt a wave of warmth rise in his chest as he eagerly scrolled down to the very last lines of the conversation.

[When you’re done with whatever you’re doing, come back soon. ]

[Your junior sister and I prepared a little surprise for you. ]

[Hehehe]
