"How is this possible?!" He Yushui's eyes narrowed in the darkness, and fear instantly enveloped her heart.
Previously, He Yushui and Xu Damao had a tacit understanding to act as if nothing had happened, but He Yushui, always vigilant, couldn't help but want to test him.
However, the result of her test sent shivers down her spine; He Yushui possessed a speed ability, and tracking someone in the dark, such a simple task, she had never failed at before.
In just the blink of an eye, Xu Damao vanished, a level of strength that exceeded He Yushui's comprehension. As the saying goes, the unknown is the most terrifying. Now, He Yushui regretted her impulsiveness; why did she have to go and track Xu Damao?
"Clang, clatter…"
Suddenly, He Yushui's body shivered, and she heard the sound of metal dropping behind her.
He Yushui could clearly feel an unusual sensation on her shoulder just before the metal dropped.
This meant the metal object fell from her shoulder to the ground, but where it came from was unknown.
"Brother Damao…" He Yushui slowly turned around, instinctively calling out Xu Damao's name.
But she still didn't see Xu Damao. He Yushui slowly lowered her head and found a sharp silver dagger on the ground, emitting a faint cold gleam under the moonlight, giving off a chilling sensation.
At this moment, He Yushui's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. She had finally been reborn, and into this peaceful World without Spirit beasts. Was she really going to fall so easily?
Xu Damao's strength had already surpassed her understanding. With just this method, if Xu Damao truly wanted to kill her, He Yushui wouldn't even have the ability to react!
As for her last trump card—space—He Yushui didn't dare to use it. Who knew if Xu Damao would go insane and try to snatch her treasure?
So, the best choice was to adapt to changes by remaining unchanged.
Just like that, He Yushui stood foolishly in place for twenty minutes, unable to find any trace of Xu Damao.
However, what He Yushui didn't know was that Xu Damao had left the place early after confirming that He Yushui posed no threat to him.
As early as when he met He Yushui, Xu Damao understood that this World had other transmigrators and was not as simple as he imagined. Therefore, during his time in the countryside, despite not wanting to cultivate, Xu Damao ultimately still used the Immortal Herb.
A spirit power level of nearly 35, combined with an extraordinary physique, had already given Xu Damao the most basic ability to protect himself.
Facing He Yushui's test, Xu Damao also gained a clear understanding: although He Yushui's speed was incredibly fast, there was still a certain gap compared to the Spirit system.
Xu Damao also had a certain guess about He Yushui's ability, which was an ability.
Douluo Continent is called the basement of fantasy, but no matter how much of a basement it is, it's still fantasy. What is an ability?
Urban?
Spiritual Qi Revival?
But in any case, through today's test, Xu Damao still felt that there was a fundamental difference between the two!
Perhaps He Yushui would be very strong in the later stages, but for now, she was nothing special.
Xu Damao, hidden in the darkness, quickly arrived at the Lou Family mansion and found that it was already empty. Xu Damao was completely at ease.
Although Lou Xiao'e was foolish, her nature was not bad. If the Lou Family were to end up ruined, it would be a bit of a pity.
Compared to Lou Xiao'e, Lou Bancheng was clearly smarter. After learning that his daughter was divorced and his hidden treasures were stolen, he decisively left Si Jiu City.
The Lou Family, having left early, definitely retained most of their strength; what Xu Damao took was merely a drop in the ocean!
One must know that in the original plot, the Lou Family was raided, and most of their wealth was left behind. It could be said that they left Si Jiu City severely crippled, and Lou Zhenhua even lost half his life!
Later, after arriving in Hong Kong, Lou Zhenhua even suffered a major illness and passed away early.
Compared to the original plot, the Lou Family can be said to have undergone earth-shattering changes now.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were husband and wife after all; there wasn't much he could do. He hoped they would both be well in the future!
…
The next morning, as dawn broke, the residents of the courtyard gradually began to go to work. After Xu Damao washed up, he left the backyard, only to see He Yushui's figure already at the entrance.
Upon seeing Xu Damao, He Yushui's youthful face flickered with a hint of undetectable resentment. Last night, she had foolishly stood in place for twenty minutes, and it had made her heart pound with fear.
Only after returning did she realize that Xu Damao was teasing her, with no ill intent.
Upon seeing Xu Damao again, she found him acting as if nothing had happened. His acting was good enough for an Oscar!
Xu Damao and He Yushui walked out of the courtyard side by side. When no one was around, He Yushui couldn't help but say, "I had no ill intent!"
Xu Damao said expressionlessly, "I know, otherwise you'd already be dead!"
Facing Xu Damao's cold and ruthless reply, He Yushui was silent for a moment before saying, "From now on, we'll mind our own business!"
"Alright!" Xu Damao smiled slightly and said.
After confirming that the other party had no ill intentions, their relationship clearly grew much closer!
"How long have you been here?" He Yushui probed.
Xu Damao didn't hide it and said directly, "I came the day Sha Zhu framed me! What about you?"
"I came the day before I looked for you!" He Yushui said.
"I woke up in the hospital. Because of Sha Zhu's matter, that young police officer broke up with me. I guess that's how I came here!" He Yushui recalled the previous situation and said unconsciously.
Xu Damao smiled slightly and said, "That young police officer was unreliable anyway!"
"I know, but… never mind, let's not talk about that. What are your plans for the future?" He Yushui asked.
Xu Damao didn't even think and immediately said, "To lie flat…"
Upon hearing this, He Yushui's mouth twitched. She hadn't expected Xu Damao to have such a thought.
Through yesterday's events, He Yushui had generally understood Xu Damao's personality. As long as she had no ill will towards Xu Damao, the two of them would surely live in peace from now on.
At this point, He Yushui's fear of Xu Damao also decreased significantly. She smiled and probed, "You scared me yesterday. Treat me to dinner tonight!"
Xu Damao gave He Yushui a strange look. Perhaps it was because they were both strangers in a strange land; it wasn't bad to be friends, two people from different Worlds arriving in this unfamiliar World.
"Alright…" Xu Damao responded.
Hearing Xu Damao's reply, He Yushui's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a hint of a triumphant smile. Although last night was unpleasant, she at least managed to test Xu Damao's bottom line. Knowing the bottom line made things much easier; it would be hard for their relationship not to grow closer.
