Chapter 630: Live On
Purple streams of light, like arrows loosed from a bow, shot towards the Moon. No events that certain people might have eagerly anticipated occurred during this journey.
Guided by its connection to the Heart of Ying Huo, the youthful Ying Huo quickly located Liu Wu in a city on the Moon.
......
"Time's up," she declared, her voice cold, a stark contrast to her sweet appearance.
At this moment, Liu Wu's clothes were tattered, revealing large expanses of unusually smooth skin. His Adam's apple seemed to have vanished, and if he were to wear women's clothing, he could easily pass for a girl.
He was still frantically searching for the true Long Chengwu.
The Long Chengwu he had been confronting had, at some unknown point, been taken away by his father, Long Tianxiang, leaving behind only a fake simulated by an item.
Poor him, he had finally found a gap in the dense encirclement, taking the risk of being severely wounded by the other besieged enemies, only for his attack to hit nothing.
"Just give me a little more time! I'm going to kill him!" Liu Wu, who had fortunately escaped from enemies no longer interested in fighting, was like a gambler who had lost his mind, desperate to stake every penny he could find on a desperate bet.
"Boom!"
Upon hearing Ying Huo's words, he seemed to lose the last vestige of strength supporting his body. His knees hit the ground with a heavy thud, his hands barely propping himself up, collapsing forward in despair.
However, the result of his knees colliding with the ground was that the ground cried out, instantly cratering into two massive, web-like cracks... His body was far more solid than the earth.
But the psychic field covering the entire Moon's surface, which maintained its stability, quickly smoothed out the crater Liu Wu had made, bit by bit...
"I'm still... too weak."
"......"
Liu Wu gave up supporting himself with his hands, letting his face hit the ground, creating another small crater.
Ying Huo looked at Liu Wu, whose heart had turned to ashes, lying on the ground like a corpse, and sighed softly. Then, with her slender finger, she drew a circle on the ground.
The faintly purple glowing circle solidified into something tangible, slipping onto Ying Huo's index finger. She chanted an unknown incantation and pointed her index finger skyward.
"In my name, activate!"
The purple light circle shot towards the sky at the speed of light, vanishing instantly.
Liu Wu, who had barely caught a glimpse of this with the corner of his eye, only looked bewildered.
"I put a curse on your enemy."
"Can it kill him?" Liu Wu's dazed eyes suddenly gleamed with a spark of hope.
"No."
His eyes dimmed once more.
"He has too many protections. I can't curse him to death from this distance."
"Then what did you do...?" With his mind solely focused on killing Long Chengwu, he lost interest in listening further once he knew the man wouldn't die.
"A curse that twists one's orientation."
"?"
"From now on, his body will only react to human males, but mentally and aesthetically, he will still only be attracted to females."
"I don't understand..." Liu Wu's thoughts were muddled, and he couldn't grasp Ying Huo's words at once.
"In layman's terms, if he sees someone like me in the future, he'll feel mentally aroused and have related fantasies, but his body won't react at all." Ying Huo took the opportunity to show off her lithe figure.
"So, he'll be impotent?"
"Not just that. His body will only react if he has contact with a male..."
"His mind will be drawn one way, his body another," Ying Huo summarized her seemingly trivial work with eight words, after a lengthy explanation.
"...Why?"
"After all, he never killed anyone of yours. All he did was take your partner and throw you in prison. This retribution is already enough," Ying Huo covered her mouth, secretly chuckling.
It loved doing interesting things, like this. As for the life and death of the parties involved, or the torment they might suffer, what did that have to do with Ying Huo?
"......"
After a long moment, Liu Wu managed to persuade himself with Ying Huo's explanation and closed his eyes in resignation.
"Live on for me, and see when this ugly world will perish!" he cried out his final will excitedly.
Even if Ying Huo were willing to grant him more time, Liu Wu's soul couldn't endure it.
To cross several major stages and use power that didn't belong to him was a suicidal act.
This wasn't like piloting a mech, where you just moved a joystick. The power of a strong individual was incredibly corrosive; to take their things, you had to pay with your life.
The next moment, the purple-clad girl merged into Liu Wu's body.
Liu Wu, whose body had already become highly feminized through repeated regeneration, now gained an even more alluring quality to his face.
"How can such an interesting world be called ugly?"
After officially occupying Liu Wu's body, Ying Huo softly rebutted his statement.
It had stood at the apex of the pyramid since birth, naturally holding a completely different perspective than Liu Wu, who had been repeatedly beaten down by life.
......
"Hmm?" Long Chengwu, lying in the VIP cabin of his father's spaceship, suddenly felt something happen to his body, but he couldn't quite articulate it. The girl massaging his back beside him also seemed to have "faded" somehow.
He couldn't pinpoint the problem, but he just felt that something must have happened.
"Send Pang Ke in."
"Yes!"
After an examination:
"Mr. Long, your body is perfectly healthy, with no abnormalities whatsoever," Pang Ke, his private physician, said with certainty as he removed his gloves.
However, he kept his head slightly bowed, somewhat unwilling to make eye contact with Long Chengwu.
"You may leave."
"Yes." Pang Ke, relieved, quietly left the VIP cabin.
......
"How could Young Master react to a burly man like me...?" He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
While performing Long Chengwu's physical examination earlier, Pang Ke had been astonished to discover this, but he had pretended to be completely unaware.
A muscular man, one meter ninety tall and one hundred ninety kilograms in weight, there was no way he could fit Long Chengwu's aesthetic preference.
As Long Chengwu's long-term private physician, Pang Ke was well aware of Long Tianxiang's aesthetic, who particularly favored petite and delicate beauties, the exact opposite of his own appearance.
If it weren't for Pang Ke's genuinely exceptional medical skills, the appearance-conscious Long Chengwu would never have chosen someone so completely against his aesthetic taste to be his private doctor.
......
"Damn it... For a split second, why did I find Pang Ke's features delicate and handsome, and, and I even...!!!" After Pang Ke left, Long Chengwu, alone in the perfectly soundproofed room, screamed.
Long Chengwu was completely losing his mind.
Something was definitely wrong here...
