A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

“Lu… Zhaoran… Lu Zhaoran…”

……

"What are you muttering about? Did you dream that I bullied her?"

Upon waking up, Lu Zhaoran scratched his head as he looked at Wen Xin, who was talking in her sleep with her eyes closed and tears streaming down her face.

Even in my dreams I have to think about her; I can't actually dream about teasing her all the time.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Lu Zhaoran glanced at her watch and realized that the two of them seemed to be doomed.

Going to be late!

The two of them couldn't stop talking yesterday, chatting until late into the night, and they overslept this morning.

Wenxin was still a little dazed when she was woken up.

She just dreamt about the past.

"Get up quickly!"

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Lu Zhaoran directly reached out and pulled her up.

Wen Xin patted her face, cleared her mind for a moment, and followed Lu Zhaoran's lead to get ready before getting into the car with her.

……

"Gulu~"

"Gulu~"

Two similar voices were heard in the car.

Lu Zhaoran and Wen Xin exchanged a glance and then burst out laughing.

"Look how hungry you are, hahaha!"

"What are you laughing at? Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry."

……

"Alright, alright, let's go buy some food after class."

When the car arrived at the school gate, Lu Zhaoran, fearing that Wen Xin would try to take advantage of him again, slung his backpack over his shoulder, opened the car door, and slipped away.

The two were like a pair of bickering lovers, always arguing on their way to school. However, Lu Zhaoran was thick-skinned and would take the initiative to coax Wen Xin whenever she wanted, so Wen Xin never got angry with her.

Wen Xin also got out of the car, and took a deep breath as she watched the girl running ahead.

Lu Zhaoran, I'm sorry, I can't overcome my selfishness. I love this world, and this is the last time. Please let me be willful one last time.

Wen Xin looked at her somewhat unreal hand, then clenched it tightly, and her hand suddenly solidified.

……

"It really is true that choice is more important than effort."

After the Lu family's car left, a black car stopped at the school gate. A boy got out of the car and looked at the two girls chatting and laughing in front of him. A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

I had considered so many ways to trap Lu Zhaoran, but none of them had really worked.

Yet, Wen Xin alone, with just a single thought of wanting to keep her, was enough to trap her so easily.

How can it not be considered that choice is more important than effort?

"I told you, Lu Zhaoran is Lu Zhaoran. She has her own thoughts and feelings. Your magic can't trap her, but her memories and friends can. She and her master are two independent individuals."

Seeing his smug look, 250 felt uneasy. Why couldn't this idiot understand?

"roll."

After hearing what 250 said, Li Chang's smile froze on his face.

He then forcibly disconnected from 250, completely blocking this system that couldn't utter a single kind word.

"Blocking me again? Fine, take it or leave it. Do you think you're my host? Do you think I need to coax you? You idiot who doesn't even know why you survived? Do you really think your master doesn't know what you've done? There's nothing she doesn't know, and there's nothing she can't do. The one truly powerless... is my host."

250 shook his head and stopped trying to persuade Changli. Let him go; he was just a move left by his master.

It should think more about how to protect its host. Continuing to provoke it is not good for the host at the moment. It's better to let it continue to immerse itself in this illusory world.

…………

"get out of class is finally over. Time really flies."

After finishing a day of classes, Lu Zhaoran stretched and loosened up.

"Yes, time really flies."

Wen Xin looked at Lu Zhaoran tenderly, and after a while, she echoed his words.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have a fever?"

When Lu Zhaoran looked up and saw Wen Xin's gaze, his heart skipped a beat.

Is this guy up to no good and playing a trick on her?

"I'm perfectly fine! Hey, pack your bag and come with me to dance practice. Oh, and in a week..."

Wen Xin slapped away the hand that was trying to touch her head, and then suddenly raised her voice to ask Lu Zhaoran to accompany her to dance practice, but halfway through her sentence, she became somewhat hesitant.

"I remember. Don't worry, I'll definitely go to your competition in a week. I even studied photography specifically to take pictures of you."

Lu Zhaoran certainly remembered what was happening a week later; it was the competition that Wen Xin valued most, so of course she would go.

"Okay, it's a deal then, you have to go."

Wen Xin lowered her eyes; without the window of her eyes, it would be difficult for others to perceive her thoughts.

What will she do a week from now...? She doesn't know herself, but she feels she wants to follow her truest feelings.

"I know, I know, I'll be a dog if I lie."

"That's not necessarily true. Dogs don't lie, but you do."

"Wenxin, don't run away!"

……

"Hey, stop looking. My host is the sun in the sky, and you're just a maggot in the gutter, unable to stand the light."

Although 250 had just vowed to himself not to talk back to this guy, he really couldn't resist his sharp tongue.

Seeing him secretly spying on his host's happy life, it wanted to make him realize his own shortcomings.

It is a long worm that its master has never paid attention to for thousands of years, a stranger whose true face the host has never seen.

Everything that remained from the previous world, whether it was those few humans, the abyss, or this old codger, was so repulsive.

The host often says in games, "When you're low on health, just die quietly," and 250 thinks it makes a lot of sense.

Ugh, why think about these things? Never mind, never mind... Let them do whatever they want.

Let's think about how to get the host out of here.

Wenxin Wenxin...

In the Ice Lotus instance, Rong Qi'an, through Meng Yi, designed a dual dream for the host. The deeper the dream, the more the dreamer is required to delve into the host's deepest memories.

However, on that occasion, Rong Qi'an only discovered the secret of the host's transmigration and the painful memories of her parents' death that she had deliberately buried.

As for Wen Xin... even Rong Qi'an couldn't find her out.

It watched the host's memories along with Changli.

If the death of both parents was a sharp knife stabbing into her heart, then Wenxin's tragic death was a dull, grinding knife.

For more than a decade, it has been tearing at her heart every moment.

She had a chance to save Wen Xin. If she had paid more attention to Wen Xin then, if she hadn't been so suspicious of Wen Xin, perhaps... Wen Xin... wouldn't have died...

At that time, she was heartbroken and focused solely on regaining control of the Lu family. In her most painful moment, she needed Wen Xin, even just a word of comfort, but nothing came of it; Wen Xin seemed to have vanished into thin air.

She had experienced too much betrayal and abandonment back then. Those who had once lifted her up high, those who had flattered her in the past, and even those she had treated sincerely, all turned on her when she lost power. It turned out that it was all for their own benefit.

She didn't believe Wen Xin was like that, but her trust was ultimately shaken by her own misfortune.

When a person is weak, they lack even the courage to be loved.

The last time they met, the mutilated corpse in the cramped, dimly lit room was the greatest punishment for her.

From that moment on, everyone she loved and who loved her left that world.

Wenxin...

This is the knot in her heart that she can't untie.

She could wield a knife against the mastermind behind her parents' death, but what about Wen Xin's death? Wasn't her indifference also a knife?
