Chapter 46: Lu Benwei Forced Me to Come!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Benwei thought to himself, ‘Did someone deliberately burn it and then save it?’
He was very curious and subconsciously flipped to the title page.
The title page introduced, “Northern Continent, Giant Kingdom, fire of hell”!
Lu Benwei’s pupils instantly enlarged! He immediately began to read it seriously. Chu Yan also moved her little head over.
“Fire of hell burnt the world and lit up the path to the beginning of the hunter’s era,” Chu Yan muttered softly.
“The fire of hell…”
The words below were burned, so Lu Benwei had to turn the page.
“Only the flame giants of the Giant Kingdom can guard him, and only the stone heart altar can carry him. Even a god will suffer an eternal curse if they want to take away the source of the fire of hell!”
At this point, there was no more information on the fire of hell.
Lu Benwei’s eyes lit up. This information was enough. His goal was the Giant Kingdom in the ice continent!
Chu Yan whispered, “I’ve heard of the legend of the Giant Kingdom. They seem to have existed even before the age of hunters.
“They’re not monsters or humans, but one thing is certain. If you go there, they’ll definitely stomp you into meat paste!”
“Even so, I still want to go,” Lu Benwei said without hesitation.
“Alright.” Chu Yan sighed.
She sat down at a table while Lu Benwei was still reading the book. Chu Yan tilted her head and looked at Lu Benwei seriously.
The library’s dim but soft yellow light shone on one side of her face, making her face look red.
“Hey, annoying fellow. Why are you looking for the Giant Kingdom?” Chu Yan suddenly asked.
Lu Benwei turned a page of his book and said, “To save her!”
“Of course, I know you’re going to save people. I’m asking you why you’re willing to risk your life to go to such a dangerous place?” Chu Yan asked again.
Lu Benwei raised his head and said in a deep voice, “Because this person is very important to me, more important than anyone else!” His eyes were bright and as determined as the sun.
Chu Yan only responded with an “Oh” and lowered her head to play with the small ornaments on the table.
After a long time, she said, “This girl must be very beautiful, right?”
“Yup!” Lu Ziling’s face immediately appeared in Lu Benwei’s mind as he answered without thinking.
After saying this, Lu Benwei felt strange. “How do you know it’s a girl?” Lu Benwei asked again.
Chu Yan chuckled and said, “It’s written all over your face, how can I not know?”
After a pause, she continued, “I really envy this girl!”
Lu Benwei frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes. “What are you envious of?”
Chu Yan sighed and continued, “What else can I be envious of? I’m envious of a girl who can make people go through fire and water and risk their lives. You’re not like me. My father didn’t dote on me, and my mother didn’t love me.”
“Father doesn’t dote on you, and mother doesn’t love you? Shouldn’t a person like you be the young lady of a family?” Lu Benwei blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he awkwardly shut his mouth. “I’m sorry, I spoke without thinking,” he said after a while.
Chu Yan looked at Lu Benwei’s embarrassed look and chuckled. “It’s fine, I don’t mind. My parents are very busy people. They left me alone in the countryside since I was young. Until I was eight years old, I only saw them a few times. I’m the only one holding a bowl of dumplings every New Year. I’m the only one celebrating it.”
She looked at Lu Benwei and smiled lightly. “After that, my master took me away, and I’ve been following him around.”
Lu Benwei quietly listened to the girl’s story.
“When my master took me to travel the world, he taught me how to read the stars, and how to catch fish.” Chu Yan’s eyes sparkled as she told him about her childhood.
Even Lu Benwei was in a daze.
“I didn’t expect our student Chu Yan to have such rich childhood experiences!”
A deep male voice was heard.
Lu Benwei’s face immediately changed.
At this moment, Chu Yan still had not reacted and was still talking non-stop, “Isn’t that right, Mr. Principal? I’m very good at reading the stars and divination. Do you want me to show you?”
The next second, Chu Yan’s expression changed, and she pursed her lips tightly.
“Good evening, Mr. Principal! Did you sneak in too?” Chu Yan’s words were already incoherent.
Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched. He could shut up if he had nothing to say.
“I knew it was you guys!” Chen Yuan said in a deep voice. “I’m curious, how did you get in?” he asked after a pause.
“Trespassing into the top-secret area without permission is a serious crime. Even if you’re the first or second place freshman, you’re not allowed to do so!”
“I’ll confess, I’ll confess!” Chu Yan was flustered like a rabbit. Then, she pointed at Lu Benwei.
“It was all his doing. He pointed a gun at me and asked me to come to the library with him. At the same time, he also said that if I don’t go, he’ll make me faint and draw a little turtle on my face!”
Chen Yuan obviously did not believe Chu Yan’s nonsense.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan’s eyes shifted to Lu Benwei.
At this time, Lu Benwei was quietly hiding the book “the Giant Kingdom” behind him.
Chen Yuan’s eyes focused and he spread out his hands.
The Giant Kingdom appeared in his hands. “As expected, you’ve found it.”
Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched and he looked at Chu Yan with resentment. ‘If you don’t have anything to say, you can shut up. No one thinks you’re mute.’
Chu Yan stuck out her tongue playfully.
At this time, Chen Yuan’s sneer was heard. “You’re so sure of the authenticity of this book?”
Lu Benwei’s pupils shrank and he asked, “Mr. Principal, what do you mean by this?”
“Old Master Liu told you, if the backlash from the divine flame could be so easily resolved, the flame girl would have long become the number one profession in the world,” Chen Yuan said.
“For hundreds of years, no one has seen or been to the Giant Kingdom. No one knows whether this book was written by the predecessors to scare people or if it was true.”
“As long as there’s a chance of survival, I’ll give it a try.” Lu Benwei interrupted Chen Yuan.
“I’m very sorry for rashly entering the top-secret area. I’ll accept any punishment!”
Lu Benwei looked Chen Yuan in the eye, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Yo, you’re quite loyal!” Chen Yuan said in a mocking tone.
At this time, Chu Yan also raised her hand and interrupted, “And me! I was just joking. I sneaked in and had nothing to do with Lu Benwei.”
“If you want to be punished, you’ll be punished together!”
“What?” Chen Yuan sneered. “You won’t have any regrets even if you’re dispelled?”
“Yes!” the two of them said in unison.
When Chen Yuan heard this, he sighed. “You two are my hope. How can I bear to dispel you?”
Then, he smiled mysteriously and took out a key.
