Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 382

Chapter 382: 382
Doing his best to avoid unnecessary attention, Li Xianyi descended from the sky in silence . In order to protect Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu, his family, he certainly did not want the news of them entering the remain made known .
Actually, the Golden Foundation was not on good terms with a number of organizations . The very fact that he himself was the host of the event this time was already mired in disputes . In spite of his power, the randomization mechanism in the remain made it hard to ensure Lu Xiaoyu’s safety .
Even if something happened, it would be almost impossible to track down the killer, for he could not just wipe out all the experts in the remain simply in the name of revenge .
The remain was an especially dangerous place, unlike the outside world . The key issue was the lack of effective communication tools .
All devices, including radios and walkie-talkies, would malfunction inside, as though the space there followed a completely different set of rules .
Li Xianyi used the darkness as his cover and gently landed in the yard . Lu Xiaoyu was already waiting, “Lu Shu, when can you learn to fly? I want to fly around with you . “
It was a Class A-only ability, Lu Shu thought to himself . When Li Xianyi was not around, he could brag by saying it was gonna be soon, but now…
Li Xianyi’s smile was amicable, “He will be able to do that when he reaches Class A . By then, your sea of chi will be resonating with Nature, naturally carrying you afloat in the air . “
Lu Shu replied awkwardly, “What if I cannot unlock my sea of chi? I’m afraid strength-type Metahumans are not flyers . We are jumpers…”
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +188…”
Truth be told, Li Xianyi was unsure about that as well . By right, indeed they could never fly, as their only power was simply their physical strength . Besides, Lu Shu’s grudge was apparent…

“Well,” Li Xianyi felt a tad unease, “Maybe you can fly . But as for how… do you have any ideas?”
Excuse me? You were asking me…?
Lu Shu sneered, “Of course I do . I can watch other people fly…”
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +666…”
In fact, he had a question for the old man as well . Lu Shu threw his confusion at him once Li Xianyi was inside the house, “Grandpa, my snow mountain is about to collapse . What should I do next? Can I unlock my sea of chi after it falls? Or do I have to redo my practice again?”
With his brows knitted together, Li Xianyi pondered for a long moment, “Good question . “
Lu Shu, “???”
“Wait a moment . So you forgot to help me figure out a way?!” Lu Shu was unhappy .
Li Xianyi froze for an instant and immediately waved his hands, “It’s a rare reunion today . Not a time to speak about cultivation…”
“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +262!”
Lu Shu’s face darkened at once, you have no ideas at all, right?! You are getting upset the moment you think of this matter, can you please be more helpful?
Honestly speaking, Li Xianyi did care about Lu Shu for a while after they parted last time, for the young man could almost be considered his apprentice . If there was something wrong with his teaching, Li Xianyi could not simply evade his responsibilities . However, he did not manage to reach a conclusion after the arduous research, because there was no record of such cases in their classical books!
A total of three days of flipping through all comments did not lead to any concrete solutions, but one thing was clear . Li Xianyi was probably the worst teacher ever since the inception of the faction .
Moreover, he had misguided a super genius!

To him, Lu Shu’s supreme talent was unquestionable . After all, no one else except for the grandmaster had achieved a snow mountain before the opening of his sea of chi . No, even the grandmaster was not as good as Lu Shu…
However, this very genius was now unable to unlock his sea of chi under the suppression of his snow mountain, all thanks to Li Xianyi himself…
Li Xianyi quickly diverted Lu Shu’s attention, “Xiaoyu, why are you here?”
“To follow Li Yixiao into the remain, of course . He dragged Lu Shu along,” Lu Xiaoyu explained .
Li Xianyi was certainly aware of the danger of overseas remains . Now, Li Yixiao’s image in his heart had transformed into a jerk who tricked his granddaughter into peril…
Lu Shu commented, “You don’t have to enter the remain . I can go in myself and you wait for me outside . “
Although he trusted that Lu Xiaoyu was capable enough to face dangerous situations by herself, he was still worried about her safety . There was no need at all for such a young girl to risk her life in coming to Pattaya . Amidst a crowd of experts, a little girl surely seemed like an easy target, which would result in loads of trouble despite her remarkable abilities .
“No way! I’m going in!” Lu Xiaoyu protested . With two Class B spirits at her command, she was fearless . Why would they refuse her entry? Furthermore, the top priority would be the relic, not changing the remain into a combat competition .
Li Xianyi frowned, “This remain is unlike the one in our country . Don’t gof in, Xiaoyu . How about keeping me company outside?”
“No . I follow Lu Shu wherever he goes,” Lu Xiaoyu was determined .
Sadly, in Lu Xiaoyu’s heart, Li Xianyi’s level of significance could never overtake Lu Shu’s . But Li Xianyi did not aim to compare either, as he was well aware of how difficult it was for the two kids to survive until today .
Li Xianyi thought for a while, “Lu Shu, don’t miss this opportunity of obtaining the relic . After the remain disappears, there’s bound to be a grand fight in the city . The possession of the relic is equivalent to the eternal possession of the remain itself . Currently, the remain is deemed as the best shot at resources and survival means by all organizations . “
In other words, the owner of the relic was not finalized until their return to the original world . The outbreak of another series of tangled fights would almost be certain when others tried to make the relic theirs .
The old man lowered his voice, “Don’t worry too much, though . I can keep you safe as long as you get out in one piece . “
Actually, Lu Shu did not place high expectations on acquiring the relic . With dozens of Class B experts ready to shed their blood for it, it would be quite unrealistic to sneak the relic away under their eyes . Nonetheless, Li Xianyi’s presence would eliminate all inconveniences once they got out of the remain . At the current moment, Li Xianyi was his and Lu Xiaoyu’s biggest talisman .
There was no reason to willfully reject such a talisman . The most memorable lesson that life had taught him was to be practical .
But, as for Li Yixiao…
He had become completely unbridled the moment he passed the national boundary . Who knows what he would do in the remain? If he really screwed things up in there, Lu Shu would be more than happy to treat him as a stranger ever after, as long as they were safe…

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird. If you'd like to consider supporting my work, there is a link to my Patreon.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
