Chapter Three: Fahai's Disruption Creates Danger
Fahai's sudden appearance stunned everyone present. Liu Yu was the first to react; he shielded Bai Suzhen behind him and shouted at Fahai, "You stinking monk, don't you dare do anything reckless!"
Fahai sneered, "Ignorant brat, you actually associate with this snake demon! Do you know how grave your sins are?"
Liu Yu was not afraid at all: "What snake demon or not? Miss Bai is kind-hearted, don't slander her!"
Xu Xian, who was already trembling with fear, stammered, "What...what exactly is going on?"
Bai Suzhen stepped forward: "Fahai, I have never done anything evil, why are you pressing me so hard?"
Fahai glared angrily: "A demon is a demon, evil by nature. Today I will subdue you!" With that, he raised his golden bowl and chanted incantations.
Seeing this, Liu Yu was extremely anxious. He suddenly remembered his quirky upgrade system and hurriedly called out in his mind, "System, come and help!"
The system's voice rang in his mind: "Host, activating the system's defense function requires 100 points. You currently do not have enough points."
Liu Yu yelled, "What kind of time is this? We still don't have enough points!" But the situation was critical, and he couldn't care less about anything else. "Never mind, lend me your points first, I'll pay you back later!"
After a moment of silence, the system finally responded: "Okay, defense function activated."
Instantly, a beam of light shot out from Liu Yu, forming a shield that blocked the light from Fahai's golden alms bowl. Fahai was slightly surprised, not expecting Liu Yu to possess such abilities.
"Hmph, a mere trick!" Fahai increased his magical power, and the golden bowl shone even brighter.
Liu Yu felt the pressure increase exponentially, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Bai Suzhen was deeply moved by Liu Yu's desperate efforts to protect her. She decided not to sit idly by and wait for her death. With a wave of her hands, a powerful surge of magic power erupted to fight against Fahai.
For a moment, the three were locked in a stalemate. The surrounding people were terrified and fled in all directions, and the streets were in chaos.
While resisting Fahai's attacks, Liu Yu racked his brains for a solution. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he shouted at Fahai, "Fahai, you keep talking about subduing demons and eliminating evil, but how are you any different from that evil demon when you act so indiscriminately?"
Fahai was enraged by Liu Yu's words: "Stop talking nonsense! I am acting on behalf of Heaven!"
Taking the opportunity, Liu Yu said, "If you are truly a righteous person, you should investigate the truth, instead of acting solely based on your prejudice!"
Fahai's heart stirred, and he slightly weakened the magic in his hands. Seeing an opportunity, Liu Yu shouted to Bai Suzhen, "Miss Bai, run!"
Bai Suzhen knew it was not the right time to linger in battle, so she and Liu Yu quickly fled. Fahai came to his senses and tried to give chase, but they had already vanished.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen hid in an abandoned temple. Bai Suzhen looked at Liu Yu gratefully: "Young Master Liu, we are so grateful to have you here today."
Liu Yu wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile, "Miss Bai, as long as you are safe and sound, anything I do is worthwhile."
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Just then, the system's voice sounded again: "Host, because you borrowed points without authorization, you will face severe punishment if you do not complete the task as soon as possible."
Liu Yu's heart sank. He knew he had to find a way to completely resolve his current predicament.
After some discussion, Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen decided to find a safe place to hide first and then plan their next move. They proceeded cautiously, avoiding crowds, and arrived at a deep mountain.
The mountain scenery was serene, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen found a cave to take temporary shelter.
"Miss Bai, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to deal with Fahai," Liu Yu comforted her.
Bai Suzhen nodded gently: "Young Master Liu, I feel at ease with you here."
However, what they didn't know was that Fahai hadn't given up the pursuit and was inquiring about their whereabouts everywhere.
Meanwhile, Xu Xian was also caught up in the turmoil. He was confused and frightened by everything he saw, but he couldn't forget Bai Suzhen.
Inside the cave, Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen's feelings for each other gradually deepened. Liu Yu picked wild fruits for Bai Suzhen and told her about all sorts of novel things in the modern world. Bai Suzhen listened intently, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
One evening, Liu Yu looked at Bai Suzhen's beautiful face and couldn't help but say, "Miss Bai, actually, I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you."
Bai Suzhen blushed and said, "Young Master Liu, please don't say such frivolous things."
Liu Yu said earnestly, "I am sincere, Miss Bai, I am willing to spend my life with you."
Bai Suzhen lowered her head, her mind filled with countless thoughts. Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave.
Liu Yu stood up alertly: "Oh no, it might be Fahai chasing after us!"
Will they be able to escape Fahai's pursuit again? What will become of Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen's relationship?
