Chapter 1827 Transactional Relationship?
"You remembered someone's name? That's great!"
Sun Ying's face lit up with surprise, and she quickly asked:
"Who is it? What's their name?"
"The Eldar's intelligence network is quite advanced."
“Tell me, and if he’s even slightly famous, I’ll definitely be able to help you find him.”
Arthur and the others nodded, indicating that the woman should just speak.
As long as there are clues, we can follow them to find out the other party's origins.
But when the woman announced her name, the men's expectant mood instantly changed, turning into strange expressions.
Especially Sun Ying,
He immediately exclaimed "Ah!" on the spot.
"That person's name is... Lu Li."
"Lu Li?" Sun Ying exclaimed, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"How come everyone seems to be involved with that guy?!"
Arthur glanced at Sun Ying's intense reaction and asked in confusion:
"You know Lu Li too?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that, Your Majesty?" Sun Ying's eyes widened as she turned to look at Arthur.
"You know Lu Li too?"
While tidying up medical equipment, Florence, who had been listening in, glanced at the two of them and interjected quietly:
Are you sure the Lu Li you're talking about is the same person?
"There are countless people in this universe with the same name."
“That makes sense!” Sun Ying completely agreed with Florence’s words and immediately turned to look at the woman on the bed, asking:
"What's your relationship with this Lu Li you mentioned?"
Before the woman could respond, Arthur raised an eyebrow and interjected quietly:
"She's even forgotten who she is, how could she possibly remember her relationship with Lu Li..."
"I...I seem to remember..." The woman on the bed seemed to have thought of something, her ears turned red, and she looked very embarrassed.
Sun Ying seemed amused by the woman's response, her lips twitching slightly, and she couldn't help but ask again:
"So what's your relationship with him?"
"They can't be a married couple, can they?!"
"Uh, no..." The woman shook her head, her cheeks turning even redder.
It looked as if it could catch fire at any moment.
She murmured in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz:
"It's...it's a transaction..."
Arthur: "?"
Florence: "??"
Sun Ying: “???”
Armstrong, whose life experience was relatively simple and who hadn't quite kept up with the conversation, scratched his head and asked in confusion:
"Huh? A transactional relationship... what exactly is that relationship?"
“Well, you’re a good boy.” Arthur patted Armstrong on the shoulder, his eyes gently gesturing for him to shut up, before turning to the woman and asking:
"Is it the kind of...transactional relationship I'm thinking of?"
The woman's face turned so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
But still, in a very uncertain tone, he responded:
"I...I forgot the specifics, but it should be...yes..."
"But you're still a virgin!?" Sun Ying broke down, her suddenly raised voice startling everyone:
"You're completely inexperienced, how can you maintain a business relationship with that guy?!"
"I...I don't know..." The woman shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
She could tell that the spirit woman in front of her seemed to have some connection with Lu Li.
However, the specifics of their relationship remain unknown.
Could it be that, like her, their relationship is one of 'transaction'?
"Judging from her current state, she's even forgotten who she is. She's unlikely to lie to us." Florence carefully put away the last medical instrument and, with the calm tone of someone who's seen it all, slowly analyzed the situation:
"As for the fact that the body is not yet 'innocent' and this conflicts with the 'transactional relationship,' it is actually quite easy to explain."
"Maybe Lu Li has some kind of special fetish. He always likes to eat fresh food, so he always uses methods to repair it afterward."
"Or perhaps their transaction wasn't a normal reproductive activity at all, but rather a 'pseudo-reproductive activity' conducted through other means..."
"Common methods involve using the hands or mouth, and less common ones include using the feet... I've even heard of people using their armpits..."
Sun Ying broke down even more!
My mind even started unconsciously replaying the scenes described by Ms. Florence.
For her, this 'pure love warrior',
Every frame is torture!
You should know that back in the Endless Forest, it took Sun Ying a full twenty years to convince herself to let go of Evelina and move on from that fruitless relationship.
He reluctantly 'gave' the person to Lu Li.
They've only just returned to the real universe from the endless forest.
I just met a new person I like.
I just thought she was pure, flawless, and perfect.
Just now, in the midst of my excitement and surging emotions,
The first thing this person said was, "It's a transactional relationship with Lu Li!"
Sun Ying felt like her world had collapsed!
Protruding!
Trade my ass!!
Didn't Lu Li already die on the Battle Demon Platform as the Great Demon Li Yun, completing his cycle of reincarnation?!
Why is he still harassing Sun Ying even now?
It's like she's been living in Lu Li's shadow for the past twenty years!
You want to chase and kill me, huh?!
“Uh, Ms. Florence, now is not the time to popularize this kind of knowledge…” Arthur glanced at Armstrong beside him, who looked like he had discovered a new continent, coughed heavily, and awkwardly interrupted the old woman’s incessant chatter:
"The most urgent task is to find out whether the Lu Li we know is the same person."
“Sun Ying…”
At this point, Arthur wanted Sun Ying to start by talking about Lu Li, whom she knew.
Seeing the other person's completely devastated expression, as if they wouldn't recover for a while, she was surprised.
In the end, I decided to set an example myself first.
"...The Lu Li that our Spirit Clan knows is the grandson of Lu Canglong from the Limit Star Domain. He is on good terms with a great demon named Li Yun."
"Twenty years ago, Li Yun had a falling out with Ragnar of the Scorching Starfield and fled into the Demon Realm, disappearing without a trace."
"Ragnar could not find Li Yun, so he could only take his anger out on Li Yun's good brother, Lu Li."
"For twenty years, there were constant frictions between the two sides, large and small, until recently when the Chosen Ones launched a war without mercy and the Kro Clan suddenly marched into the Scorching Starfield, which eased the tensions somewhat."
"So, is this the same Lu Li you know?"
After Arthur finished speaking, he looked at the woman who was staring blankly into space.
The latter frowned, and a look of pain reappeared in his eyes.
After a long pause, he shook his head and said:
"I don't know... I can't remember..."
"But I seem to vaguely remember that great demon Li Yun you mentioned..."
"His relationship with Lu Li seems very close, but... but it doesn't seem to be the kind of good brotherly relationship you described..."
“Of course not good brothers anymore…” Sun Ying’s weak voice rang out from the side, carrying a strong sense of despair and world-weariness.
"They are the same person!"
