Chapter 441 - 201: You Smell of Her Perfume
[Ding, a new cycle begins. This cycle is a special end-of-month cycle, where the burning passion causes all warriors to have heightened battle desires, boosting close combat physical attack by 5% and Spiritual Energy recovery by 1 per minute]
The new cycle begins, meaning the Demon Realm reconnects with the ruins once again.
Soon, the roar of demons echoed up from the depths, and after an intense sound, the third floor gradually returned to calm.
Yuyu was the first to fully dress, standing at the entrance of the third floor staircase. However, her cheeks were still brightly flushed, and her eyes dreamy.
Lin Rui stood beside her and asked, "Do you need some healing?"
"Ah~ go away!" Yuyu immediately took a step back: "Isn’t it more painful with your ice needles in the body? I can’t handle even one, let alone ten."
"Long pain is better than short pain," Lin Rui earnestly suggested, "And it might not necessarily be ten needles; if I control it, you won’t hurt for long."
"Go away! I don’t believe you; you said the same thing just now."
"...Alright then." Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Rui asked, "I’m heading down to clear out the demons. Are you coming?"
"Of course, I’m going." Yuyu rolled her eyes and supported him with her arm: "Are you planning to leave me alone in this haunted place? Taking advantage first and then turning your back?"
"I was just worried you’d have trouble walking."
Yuyu angrily pinched his waist: "Now you know it’s inconvenient? What about when you were taking off my clothes?"
"Ahem, wasn’t I just trying to preserve your Holy Body?" Lin Rui had to come up with an excuse.
"At least you keep your word. For that, I won’t hold it against you. Otherwise, don’t expect my help again."
Lin Rui’s eyes brightened. There’s more? He figured he should look for opportunities to interact with her often.
Seeing the light in his eyes, Yuyu guessed what he was thinking: "Don’t overdo it. Don’t find me just for such things. I’m still a Goddess Priestess; other than when helping you, you’re not allowed to get handsy."
Lin Rui promptly stuck to his principle: "Alright. But I get to decide when the helping happens."
The two stared at each other, battling silently. Eventually, Yuyu, being her lazy self, couldn’t hold out and chose to compromise: "Not anytime, anywhere!"
"Alright."
After reaching an agreement, the two quickly began clearing the ruins officially.
Since the monsters were all trapped on the fourth level, Lin Rui could unleash his Spirit Magic to the fullest. With one Ice Blade Frost Splendor, ten ice spears shot out, and the frosty sharpness froze the dense crowd of demons into statues.
The demons in this ruin, after all, could only crawl through space rifts, so their Tier wasn’t high. Faced with Lin Rui, now a Tier Four Caster, they stood no chance.
Lin Rui single-handedly purified an area of corruption, cleansing all the demons.
The blast fall, however, was quite rewarding, with dozens of Fine-level Equipment, over a hundred Excellence Level Equipment, and more than three thousand Ordinary-level Equipment.
More importantly, another Strategic Treasure: Skull Sanctity dropped.
But this Strategic Treasure was a duplicate.
[Strategic Treasure: Skull Sanctity (Divine Blessing thrice): The skull symbolizes the purity of humanity, not only proving that one has not corrupted or fallen till death, pure and unstained, but also represents noble sacrifice. When worn, all Human Race armies led by the Commander have Physique +15% (+10%) and Will +15% (+10%). When confronting Chaos armies, damage +20% (+10%), Physical Resistance +20% (+10%), Spiritual Resistance +20% (+10%)]
Both Lin Rui and Terion already had one of these Skull Sanctity enhanced thrice, and Hanna, being an Enchanting Demon Hero, couldn’t wear this Skull Sanctity.
Although it wasn’t usable for the territory, Lin Rui didn’t mind and didn’t put it in storage, leaving it for future use.
Swiftly converting wealth into strength is the best choice at present.
So he planned to sell this Strategic Treasure at the Divine Throne Banquet to the Holy Knight, who was constantly purchasing Strategic Treasures.
Lin Rui also intended to prioritize using territory resources to enhance this Skull Sanctity to the utmost before selling it to the Holy Knight. This would allow it to fetch the greatest price. The wealth expended in one enhancement, when sold to the Holy Knight, would earn enough to elevate the remaining two Skull Sanctities to the utmost too.
But the profits from arms trade are often thrice, fivefold, or even tenfold.
He’s selling a Strategic Treasure, and only doubling the profit—wouldn’t that be too low?
He still had to see the Holy Knight’s stance on this.
Upon leaving the ruins, Yuyu asked, "Are you going back to accompany Audrey?"
Lin Rui yawned: "I should head back to sleep. But I’m not that heartless, right? I’ll send you back to the Goddess Hall first."
"At least you have a conscience." Yuyu finally cracked a smile.
The territory remained lively and brightly lit, with no one paying attention to whatever intense interaction these two might have had inside the ruins.
Seeing this scene, Yuyu felt relieved, and her steps gradually shifted from limping to a lazy and composed pace.
When she ascended the temple platform and pushed open the temple door, she suddenly turned back and asked Lin Rui, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Sit for a while?
If the temple door were to close again, "sit" would quickly turn into a homonym.
Despite her languid, soft body being quite tempting in this empty, silent palace, Lin Rui reluctantly chose to refuse.
"If we sit any longer, with no one interrupting, you really won’t be able to sit down tomorrow."
