Chapter 244: The Eight-Character True Words of Picking Up Girls, The Avalanche Strikes Back!_1

Luo Yu fully demonstrated at Yuexuan what is meant by "before the tune you discard me like an old shoe, after the tune you're out of my league."

He showed no reluctance against Tang Yuehua Chen Ken's efforts to keep him, and strode away, leaving only his indifferent silhouette behind.

At this moment, Luo Yu was walking on the streets of Tiandou City.

Humming a tune, relaxed, enjoying the scenery around him.

He naturally wouldn't refuse specialty foods and some exquisite trinkets.

As for everything that happened in Yuexuan just now, he was completely indifferent.

Everything was within his plans.

He had a firm grip on Tang Yuehua's preferences. If even this couldn't move her, Luo Yu felt that perhaps nobody in Soul Land could.

According to Luo Yu's estimate, by the end of the tune, both Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke probably had his shadow imprinted on their hearts, arousing their curiosity about him.

But that was still not enough.

As the saying goes, one can't do business eagerly chasing after another. If he had stayed in Yuexuan, the effect might not have been as good.

It is in human nature to cherish what one cannot have.

His silent departure was like administering a strong dose of medicine.

The other party will likely start chasing him around the world, and wouldn't think there's anything wrong with it.

Luo Yu summarized his eight-character truth about dating.

To capture by letting go, to be the master by becoming the guest.

However, for this tactic to be successful, there's a major prerequisite: one must possess the attractive hard power.

If there is no hard power, then no matter how great the technique is, it's useless if they don't even look at you.

Luckily, Luo Yu possessed that hard power, unmatched by anyone in Soul Land.

With the tune "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix," his move was a trump card.

Substitute another man, and no one could afford it.

Luo Yu touched his disguised face, slowly shook his head, and let out a long sigh.

"With a face that could, you insist on relying on talent."

"It's complicated, so complicated."

He found a tea stall by the roadside, sat on a wooden stool, watched the comings and goings of the crowd, and sipped his tea carefully.

The issue with Yuexuan wasn't urgent; he could wait a couple of days.

The biggest surprise of the trip was the System's reward he had yet to receive, piling up treasures until he was dripping with wealth.

The hundred thousand golden soul coins didn't matter much.

For an individual and even for a sect, it was a huge sum of money.

For him, it was just a sprinkle of water, merely a string of numbers.

It was ridiculous that he almost got a goddess for a wife for free; are goddesses so easygoing?

What Luo Yu didn't know was that An Miaoyin, as the Music Deity, not only had an unparalleled beauty but also unmatched skills in music and dance in the Divine Realm, with numerous pursuers.

Her quirky nature made her disgusted when someone she disliked looked at her even once, disdaining those rough men.

It was only towards Luo Yu that she took initiative.

Luo Yu reached into his Storage Space with his consciousness and looked at the Seven-stringed Jade Phoenix Zither lying there, seemingly unremarkable.

As a Divine Artifact, the Seven-stringed Jade Phoenix Zither couldn't possibly be just for playing music.

He could vaguely feel the power hidden inside the artifact; if developed well, he could kill enemies invisibly with zither music, or subdue an army of a million with just sound waves.

And it seemed that there were even more hidden features.

It's just that the Music Deity didn't seem to reveal the operating method on purpose, keeping him in suspense, probably waiting for him to take the initiative to find her.

Luo Yu's lips curled into a slight curve. An Miaoyin wouldn't be playing hard to get with him, would she?

Well, let her wait.

After all, playing the zither was really just a sideline for Luo Yu, part of his entertainment.

His thoughts, of course, were focused on the Executioner Sword and Dragon God Martial Soul, which were the foundation of his future invincibility in both the Divine Realm and the mortal world.

Luo Yu wasn't very interested in the Music Deity's heritage, but he was quite curious about the face beneath An Miaoyin's veil.

After all, with such a graceful and elegant figure, the face hidden behind the veil surely wouldn't be lacking.

However, curiosity aside, if she was unwilling to show her true face, he wouldn't inquire further.

Thinking back, the appearance of Xue Qinghe at Yuexuan was something unexpected.

Luo Yu felt that perhaps he should not call her Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue.

Dong'er mentioned that this woman seemed to have quite an issue with me, showing a petulant and arrogant attitude during the Martial Soul Hall meeting, vowing to bring me down.

Luo Yu's lips twisted into a smirk. If there's a chance, it would be good to exchange a few moves, a real clash to see who's tougher.

Just as he was about to get up and leave the tea stall, the sound of galloping hooves approached from the distance.

Five war horses ran abreast, pulling behind them a magnificent carriage.

Their speed was extremely fast, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Avalanche led the horses in the forefront, his fierce gaze locking onto Luo Yu from afar.

The patrons and the owner of the tea stall had quickly hidden away at the sight of the approaching carriage, their eyes filled with fear, regarding Avalanche with the same wariness as they would a wolf or a tiger.

Seeing Luo Yu still seated, the tea stall owner exclaimed in alarm.

"Young man, run quickly!"

"Prince Avalanche is unreasonable, there's danger if you stay."

Luo Yu turned and offered a kind smile.

"It's alright, don't be afraid, he's come specifically for me."

"What?"

The tea stall owner and the patrons were instantly stupefied, their eyes soon filled with a sympathetic look.

In their minds, a youngster like Luo Yu who was on his own would, if not die, at least be in for a rough time after drawing the attention of a spoiled prince like Avalanche.

Avalanche had already made a notorious name for himself in Tiandou City.

The tea stall owner urged, "Then you should run now, while there's still time."

"No need," Luo Yu waved his hand, "Come back and drink your tea, with me here, he won't be able to stir up any trouble."

Although Luo Yu said this, the tea stall owner and customers clearly didn't believe him. Not only did they stay hidden in the distance without any intention of returning, but some even moved further away.

Anxiously fearful of being involved.

People who had been living in Tiandou City for years all knew how terrible Avalanche was.

Seeing he couldn't persuade them, Luo Yu said no more and quietly sat there, sipping his tea.

Avalanche dismounted from his war horse with his guards, taking long strides, and walked over.

His face held a fierce expression.

"Boy, I told you before that I would return with a vengeance," he said.

"I didn't expect that you wouldn't hide yourself away, but instead would sit out here in the street, drinking tea?"

Luo Yu glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect you'd be back so soon."

Avalanche's eyes narrowed into slits, his voice sinister, "You've provoked me in Tiandou City and you still dare to stroll around the city instead of running away fast. Are you truly ignorant of the ways of the world or are you just seeking death?"

Luo Yu let out a light laugh, "What, has your face stopped hurting already?"

Avalanche's eyes bulged with rage, and he gritted his teeth, "Boy, don't think you can strut around Tiandou City just because you've got some strength. Today, this prince will teach you a lesson."

"Oh?" Luo Yu nodded, "Looks like you're ready to take a beating again."

"Arrogant!"

Avalanche's aura exploded as the four Imperial Guards closed in around him.

Surrounded by the men, Luo Yu didn't even blink.

He slowly stood up and gazed directly at Avalanche, his tone as calm as if he were casually chatting.

"Avalanche, is it? I'll give you ten seconds," he said.

"Kneel down now, and we can talk."

"Wait any longer, and I might not be so agreeable."

"Ha?" Avalanche laughed mockingly, pointing at Luo Yu, "What kind of joke are you trying to pull, kid?"

"Don't you realize you're surrounded?"

"Even now, can't you see who's stronger and who's weaker?"

Luo Yu spread his hands, feigning surprise, "Yes, why can't you see such an obvious crushing situation for what it is?"

Avalanche scoffed coldly, his eyes glancing at the carriage behind him with a flash of smugness, "You mustn't think my reliance is merely these few guards; otherwise, you'd be gravely mistaken."

"Let me make it clear to you, whether or not this street descends into chaos is up to me, Avalanche."

"I can guarantee that today, no matter what, you won't be able to walk away from this spot on your own."

"I hope you won't end up crying out of fright later on."

"Hahaha."

Avalanche laughed heartily, appearing quite triumphant.

He moved to the carriage at the back and bowed respectfully, bending at ninety degrees, with his head lowered in submission.

"Lord Poison Douluo, please step out," he requested.

"Help me suppress this arrogant kid."
