Chapter 118: Sorry, I Still Can’t Take You In

Gazing at the drop of blood in Beludan’s hand, Ou Xiaolu nodded firmly. “I understand what you mean. I have this ability now, but the problem is I’ve only seen fragments of it. I can only send you to the gate of the Rainbow Bridge. Whether you can enter beyond that, I can’t guarantee.”

“The gate?” Beludan hesitated for a moment before realizing. “You mean the entrance? I understand. That’s exactly where I need to go. Just send me there.”

“Right here?” Ou Xiaolu glanced around. Although the bar hadn’t officially opened yet, a few people had already slipped in and started drinking on their own.

“It’s fine. When I’m sent away, Emilia will take over this body. As long as your light and sound performance isn’t too captivating, no one will pay attention here.”

Ou Xiaolu nodded, then opened the world activation interface and inserted the newly acquired “World: Rainbow Bridge Entrance” card.

As he prepared to assume the role, he hesitated. How could he bring an ordinary person into a world card?

After some thought, Ou Xiaolu decided to contact Boose.

Boose was surprised by the sudden contact. “What happened, main body? Is there a problem?”

“No, I just wanted to ask how you brought Xiao You into the world.”

“Oh, that. I applied to enter the world first. Xiao You was by my side, so I asked if I could bring her along. The system prompted me to add her combat power, and that was it.”

Boose made it sound easy, but Ou Xiaolu felt a headache coming on. The key was that someone had to enter the world first. And Ou Xiaolu believed projections couldn’t bring others in. That meant only Arrow could bring people inside now.

Realizing this, Ou Xiaolu stood up. “I can’t handle this alone. Want to come with me?”

Beludan looked surprised. “You can’t handle it?”

“It’s not that I can’t handle it. It’s that I can’t bring you inside myself. My strength isn’t enough to enter on my own. You understand, right?”

“Oh, I see.” Beludan’s gaze grew strange.

For someone like Beludan, Ou Xiaolu wasn’t sure what to say. He gave her a slightly angry look. “I’m going to rush over directly. Can you keep up with my speed?”

“You tell me.” Beludan rolled her eyes at him.

Ou Xiaolu didn’t say more; he just smiled and led Beludan out of the bar.

Looking back once, he said, “Keep up.”

Then he transformed into a streak of purple lightning, vanishing before Beludan’s eyes.

Ou Xiaolu’s Purple Thunder Sky Escape was an unusual mode of travel—he could instantly reach any visible location. He usually moved from the tops of buildings, crossing rivers or distances in the blink of an eye.

In no time, Ou Xiaolu arrived at the outskirts of Xinxiang.

Standing by the roadside outside the city, he sighed. “I clearly said I wouldn’t leave Xinxiang today, but here I am.”

“It’s useless to say that. If you don’t want to leave Xinxiang, just stay in your room.” Beludan’s voice came from behind, light and carefree.

When Ou Xiaolu turned around, he saw Beludan’s cheeks flushed and a sheen of sweat on her brow. It was clear she hadn’t found running over easy.

“Is there any alcohol? I feel awful.”

“No, and we’re not there yet. I just stopped to wait for you because I was worried you couldn’t keep up.”

“How could I not keep up? You’re leading the way—see if I’m keeping pace.” Beludan jumped up at that.

Ou Xiaolu shook his head. With Beludan’s personality like this, he could only imagine what Emilia’s was like.

Thinking that, Ou Xiaolu slowed his pace, moving within the range of static electric sensing instead of teleporting far away at once.

This way, Beludan was able to keep up, and their speed even surpassed that of ordinary vehicles. Soon they neared Ou Xiaolu’s valley.

By the valley entrance, the headless werewolf’s corpse still waved the sign it held.

Seeing the corpse from afar, Beludan actually laughed. “You weren’t kidding. You really killed that werewolf’s brother too.”

“Yes. I even thought about bringing the corpse here to hang it up, but there were too many police around, so I didn’t dare.”

At that, Ou Xiaolu’s expression suddenly stiffened. “Wait, can you still speed up? If so, enter the valley immediately.”

“What’s wrong?” Beludan’s face tightened as well.

“I smell werewolf scent. Looks like another pack is coming.”

“If werewolves show up, just fight them. Why come into your valley?”

“To call for backup.”

As he spoke, Ou Xiaolu transformed into a purple electrical current, darting toward the mountaintop.

Beludan stamped her foot and surged after him. It was clear she was running, but so fast it was like a gust of wind.

After they entered the valley, a pickup truck appeared nearby, carrying several flushed-faced cowboys—the underlings of Ayok.

They had all heard about the recent battle in Xinxiang and the death of their third young master. They were at a loss.

Finally, Karls suggested that since their third young master was gone, they should take Ou Xiaolu back first. They could find an excuse that they were there to make an arrest, not interfering with Ayok’s affairs, thus saving their own lives.

After Karls spoke, the others agreed without hesitation. They didn’t even call for a vehicle, just commandeered a pickup truck by the roadside and headed to the location they had scouted.

When they reached the valley entrance, all the cowboys were stunned. They stared at the headless werewolf corpse hanging there, speechless.

Karls finally said, “That’s the body of Young Master Arold. Damn it, it must be that guy named Ou. We have to kill him today.”

The other cowboys shouted loudly as if Ou Xiaolu was right in front of them and they could tear him apart.

Meanwhile, inside the valley, Aro, who had just finished his daily patrol, spotted Ou Xiaolu and Beludan.

Beludan’s first reaction upon seeing Aro was, “Is this guy your shadow? No, it must be some sort of clone or something. Your inheritance is really powerful.”

“You’re not ordinary either,” Ou Xiaolu said, giving her a thumbs-up. “You’re the first person to see the connection between him and me. Everyone else thinks he’s just my pet.”

“No wonder you wanted me here. I get it now—you can open the gate but can’t bring others in, right? You need your clone to escort people inside.”

“That’s right. But before that, we have to find a way to deal with the werewolves outside.”
