Chapter 316 Are you ready?

Lu Yu first brainwashed Shitou again: "Shitou, from now on, you must remember that you are an orphan who is struggling to survive alone in the forest."

"There was an old lady who took you in, but after she passed away, you were left alone..."

Lu Yu warned, and Shitou nodded vigorously, his eyes full of determination: "I know, Brother Lu Yu, I will be fine, remember it."

While Lu Yu was clearing all the camouflage on Shi Tou's face, he asked Shi Tou to draw another camouflage on himself. This was another aspect he considered for Shi Tou.

If he really needs to escape in the future, only if Shi Tou himself learns facial disguise can he ensure his own safety... Shi Tou didn't say much. He skillfully picked up the supplies prepared for him by Brother Lu Yu and began to change his appearance again.

After a series of operations by him, a boy with dark skin, a big forehead, thick lips and a flat nose appeared after a while. Lu Yu nodded to show his satisfaction. It seemed that the teaching on the road in the past few days was not in vain.

Finally, he asked Shitou to remove the makeup on his face again and said to him, "Paint yourself as a girl."

When Shitou heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Brother Lu Yu in disbelief: "I... drew myself as a girl, but, but I am a boy."

Lu Yu nodded and explained seriously: "Yes, it's because everyone knows that you are a boy, so I let you do this."

"If it really comes to a life-or-death situation, you can disguise yourself as a girl so that you can escape more easily."

After hearing this, he nodded quickly, and without saying a word, he started painting on his face. In fact, at this moment, he was extremely moved.

Along the way, Brother Lu Yu has touched him a lot and has always been thinking about him, but Shi Tou did not expect that Brother Lu Yu thought so deeply about him.

His eyes were a little red and wet, but Shi Tou could only suppress his emotions... He was putting on makeup now, and he had to do it well so as not to disappoint Brother Lu Yu.

After a while, a little girl with ordinary looks appeared. Lu Yu nodded to show his satisfaction, and then asked Shi Tou to start drawing a bright and cute little girl and a quirky little girl.

In short, the two were making final preparations...until finally, when everything was arranged, Lu Yu looked at Shi Tou. After being together for such a long time, it was impossible to say that there was no affection at all. But precisely because of the affection, Lu Yu was also a little worried about Shi Tou.

"Shitou, after the seal is lifted, you may face many dangers. Are you really sure that you want to make such a choice?"

Without saying anything, Shitou suddenly rushed over and hugged Lu Yu tightly. This sudden action made Lu Yu stunned for a moment. Shitou said in a muffled voice: "Brother Lu Yu, thank you for helping me. I know you care about me."

"But you must believe that I will also work hard to become as powerful as you, and I will make those bad guys pay the price."

Seeing that Shitou had made up his mind, Lu Yu didn't say anything else. For a while, the two of them sat quietly in the cave, waiting for the right opportunity.

The two were ready to unlock the seal on Shi Tou...As the sky gradually darkened, a tense atmosphere began to fill the air, and Shi Tou couldn't help swallowing.

He knew that his life would be changed from tonight. While he felt a little nervous and worried, he was also full of new hope for his future life... Feeling that the time was about right, Lu Yu took out a large number of talismans from the space soul guide.

This is the plan that Lu Yu developed after careful consideration over the past few days. After all, the two of them are in the Sunset Forest, where any crisis may occur, so they must be fully prepared.

Lu Yu first camouflaged the entrance of the cave with branches, stones, etc. from the outside, and then pasted talisman paper all over the cave. With the help of these talismans, the entire small cave will be hidden. If ordinary soul beasts and people pass by here, they will basically not notice the existence of this cave.

On the one hand, this is to avoid danger, and on the other hand, it is also to ensure that no one comes to disturb the two of them when they are lifting the seal. Otherwise, not to mention Shi Tou's life is in danger, even Lu Yu may be implicated.

It caused a backlash on his soul power cultivation... In addition, Lu Yu also found a lot of herbs that can strengthen muscles and bones at the market these days. These herbs are extremely beneficial to Shi Tou's body.

So Lu Yu called Shi Tou over and asked him to swallow the herbs. Shi Tou didn't even have a doubt. He raised his head and put all the medicine Lu Yu handed over into his mouth... Soon, Shi Tou felt a warm and powerful force surging into his body, as if it was going to tear his body apart.

Lu Yu explained to him: "Although your parents have tried their best to give you the best, your physical foundation was too weak before."

"This medicine can make your body stronger. Although it will be a little uncomfortable after swallowing it, it will be fine as long as you persevere."

Shi Tou clenched his teeth in pain, veins bulging on his forehead, but he still nodded slightly to show that he understood. Lu Yu sat aside and didn't say anything else, just waiting for Shi Tou to recover. Just when Shi Tou was in excruciating pain and felt he could no longer bear it, he didn't expect that the pain would suddenly recede like a tide.

Then, just as Brother Lu Yu said, he clearly felt that his body was extremely comfortable, as if his strength had also increased a lot. Every time he waved his fist, he felt that his body was much stronger than before.

Shitou wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and said to Lu Yu happily, "Brother Lu Yu, I really feel like my body has become stronger. Isn't this medicine amazing?"

Lu Yu smiled and said, "This medicine can only be used to expand your muscles and bones before you practice."

"It will help you progress faster in your subsequent training, but it is definitely not a shortcut."

"When you practice in the future, don't think about using drugs to pile up and looking for so-called shortcuts. That will only harm yourself."

When Shitou heard this, he nodded solemnly: "Okay, Brother Lu Yu, I'll remember it."

Lu Yu knew that Shitou was always very sensible, so he didn't say much. He just told Shitou: "Take some time. Tell me when you have enough strength, and we will start to break the seal."

Afterwards, the entire cave fell into silence. Only the occasional sound of wind blowing outside the cave would break the silence... Shi Tou eased the pain in his body, but under the cover of night, his face was solemn.

To be honest, every boy admires the strong, not to mention that when he knows that he has an invincible background and may also possess an invincible martial spirit, Shitou is very much looking forward to the lifting of the seal.

But on the other hand, he was deeply worried in his heart - Brother Lu Yu was so good to him, but once his seal was lifted, it might bring him danger.

In fact, at the beginning, Shitou had not figured out the problem. But one day, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the village chief and Lu Yu's brother, and then he learned why the messenger from the Spirit Hall left so soon.

Any family with great power will certainly establish branches of its own in various places. These places usually enjoy the protection of the family headquarters, use their names, and enjoy the benefits they bring.

At the same time, they also play a monitoring role, so as to get the news from all places as soon as possible and respond to sudden dangers or opportunities in time.

Of course, in addition to this, the most important thing is that when the family headquarters issues a certain order, the corresponding local branch must immediately go out to process and control it, and wait for the people from the family headquarters to arrive for further processing.

This is also the reason why Brother Lu Yu did not dare to break the seal for himself in the Holy Soul Village, because the family branch behind him is likely to appear immediately in a short period of time, which is the most fatal point.

Shitou was certain in his heart that he would not regret his choice today. He was willing to break the seal on himself and practice, even if he had to face endless pursuit and a life of hiding.

As long as he can become stronger and more powerful, he will not regret it...but he is afraid that he will be implicated. Brother Lu Yu is so good. Brother Lu Yu has done enough for him!

But without brother Lu Yu, he had no way to break the seal, which made Shi Tou feel particularly conflicted. In the dark night, his bright eyes stared in the direction of Lu Yu in embarrassment.

Although the lighting in the cave was not good at this time, and they didn't even turn on the lights to avoid being discovered, Lu Yu still clearly felt that he was being watched by the stone.

Lu Yu didn't say anything and continued to wait patiently. He believed that when the time was right, if Shi Tou wanted to speak, he would naturally express his thoughts. Sure enough, after a while, Shi Tou suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Brother Lu Yu, you have been thinking about me, worried that I can't stand the life of escape and loneliness, and always asked me if I would regret my choice today?"

"Actually, I also want to ask you - will you regret helping me today? After all, you will be in a lot of trouble after helping me."

Hearing this, Lu Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Shi Tou was worried about this. Now hearing Shi Tou's words, Lu Yu felt extremely relieved.

He said to Shitou in a gentle tone: "Someone once advised me to think carefully about this issue, and I have thought about it seriously."

"How should I put it? The reason I wanted to help you in the beginning was simply because you are also from Wuhun Village."

"If the children of Wuhun Village can gradually become stronger, the villagers of our Wuhun Village will only develop better and better in the future."

"But as I get to know you, I feel that the reason I want to help you now is entirely because of you."

"Shi Tou, you are a very grateful person and a very kind person. More importantly, you are firm in your beliefs."

"If you were a self-pitying person, I would have given up on you a long time ago and wouldn't want to continue helping you."

"But you have always been determined to become stronger and take control of your own life. You have never backed down because of the difficulties you faced."

"I won't complain about my experiences or blame the world for being unfair. Instead, I will deal with them positively and look for solutions."

"It makes me appreciate you, and it's why I really want to help you."

Hearing Lu Yu's heartfelt words, Shitou was even more moved. He looked determined and his eyes revealed determination: "Brother Lu Yu, I have said thank you many times."

"But I still want to thank you again...and it seems like there is no power in what I say now, but I still want to say it to you."

"If one day I become really powerful, I will never forget you and will do my best to repay you."

Hearing this, Lu Yu sighed softly. He knew that Shitou was a thoughtful child. Forget it. If thinking this way can make him feel better, let him think this way. Lu Yu did not respond but asked softly: "Shitou, are you ready?"

Shitou bit his lip and nodded slightly, then thought that it was a little dark here, and he was afraid that Brother Lu Yu couldn't see it, so he quickly said: "Well, I'm ready, Brother Lu Yu, let's start."

The two were sitting on the bed they had made in the afternoon. After hearing Shitou's reply, Lu Yu asked him to sit cross-legged:

"We have already tried this once before. I used my soul power to drive your soul power to attack the seal."

Shitou has been listening to Lu Yu carefully without interrupting him: "We will still use this method later. Although this method takes a little more time, it is also the safest way."

"...Close your eyes for a while, try to calm yourself down, and feel your seal with your heart."

"You must have absolute confidence and believe that you can do this. It may be painful when impacting the seal, so you must endure it."

"Once we start to lift the seal, we cannot stop. Any pause will result in failure."

"Because your martial spirit has begun to vibrate, the restraints on you are about to be released, and the other party will definitely notice it."

"So, as long as we move the seal, we will be exposed, and they will definitely hunt you down endlessly."

"Therefore, if we fail to successfully break the seal this time, it will be even more difficult to find an opportunity to break the seal next time."

After hearing this, Shitou hummed vigorously: "Okay, I get it. I will definitely stick to it and won't give up no matter how painful it is."
