It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Chapter 1495: Thank You!

In the Red Hall, even though Han Xuya, Luo Chao, and Chang Xinyuan had tried their best, the difference in strength was too great. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Lord Ghost Poison Bat yearned for Luo Chao’s awakened domain and wanted to think of a way to snatch it, they wouldn’t have been able to last so long.

Even so, Poison Bat, who was already an imperial realm formidable warrior, was able to grasp most of Luo Chao’s powers within a short period of time. The greed in his eyes intensified. Without a doubt, Luo Chao’s powers were able to fill the gap in his domain concept.

With two loud slaps, Lord Ghost sent Han Xuya and Chang Xinyuan flying.

“Pfft~” The duo were injured by Lord Ghost and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

Lord Ghost’s target was obvious. In order to protect Luo Chao, Han Xuya and Chang Xinyuan tried to stop him time and time again. Although Luo Chao used her domain concept and got them to dodge Lord Ghost’s attacks repeatedly, the difference in strength was apparent. Before long, Lord Ghost seized an opportunity and dispatched the two annoying bugs that were interfering with his movements.

“Ah, peace and quiet at last.” Lord Ghost laughed sinisterly. He felt that the air in front of him had become much fresher, making him feel comfortable.

Luo Chao looked at Han Xuya and Chang Xinyuan worriedly. She didn’t know how they were doing.

However, she quickly looked at Lord Ghost, her gaze suddenly becoming resolute and fierce.

With a flick of her wrist, the silver bracelet on it stuck to her skin. A miniature needle suddenly shot out and accurately pierced her skin.

…

When they drew lots for the deputy halls they were responsible for, Luo Chao had heard a gentle voice behind her just before they left. “Luo Chao…”

Luo Chao turned around. It was Li Shiyu who took care of them meticulously.

Only Luo Chao and Han Xuya grew up together with everyone in Lingtian. Everyone treated them as their younger sisters and doted on them dearly. They used their own ways to protect and take care of them. Luo Chao and Han Xuya knew that every elder brother treated them sincerely. However, when it came to being considerate and caring, the one who noticed their needs in every way was Li Shiyu, whom they had been learning medicine from.

Although Li Shiyu was the brother they had only gotten to know after entering the 23rd division, their relationship with him was even closer than Qi Long and the other girls since they had constantly been under his tutelage. If Luo Chao wanted to find someone for comfort or top confide in, the first person she would choose would be Li Shiyu.

As for Ling Lan? Luo Chao would tell you very seriously that she was Boss. Only when it was a matter of life and death, or if she needed to decide her own future, would she look for the Boss to resolve it. How could she disturb Boss Lan over such trivial matters?

Luo Chao stopped when she found Li Shiyu stopping her. She asked curiously, “Brother Shiyu, what’s the matter?”

Li Shiyu watched the others rush back to their respective spots to make their final preparations. No one knew the outcome of this battle. Would they be able to survive?

He was most worried about the two weakest girls, especially Luo Chao who was a little weaker between the two.

Li Shiyu fell silent for a few seconds. In the end, he could only ask, “Are you ready?”

“Yes, no matter what the result is, I’m very happy that Boss Lan is willing to let us take charge of Red Hall.” Luo Chao smiled happily, her face beaming.

Li Shiyu knew how happy Luo Chao was. In Ling Lan’s eyes, they weren’t burdens. They weren’t people she needed to protect. They were comrades who were willing to give their backs to, comrades who had been acknowledged.

This was true respect. Even if they knew that such a decision might send them to their deaths.

Li Shiyu’s hands trembled. He couldn’t be as steelhearted as Ling Lan. If he could, he really hoped that these two sisters of his wouldn’t have to face all these dangers—dangers that elder brothers like them should ward off.

“Brother Shiyu, you have to… work hard too!” Luo Chao’s eyes showed a hint of worry. They were weaker, but Li Shiyu was not much stronger than them. It could be said that among the companions following Boss Lan, besides Chang Xinyuan, Li Shiyu was the one with the weakest physical skills. If they were said to be in peril, then Li Shiyu was not much better than them.

“Are you worried about me?” Li Shiyu noticed Luo Chao’s worry. He smiled and patted Luo Chao’s head. “Don’t worry. I don’t just fight with physical skills.”

“Yes, I believe you.” Luo Chao smiled. The worry in her eyes disappeared. That’s right. Li Shiyu was the most talented military doctor in the Federation. How could he be as weak as she thought?

The trust in Luo Chao’s eyes made an indescribable emotion rise in Li Shiyu’s heart. Before he could understand what it was, he heard Han Xuya waving at Luo Chao from afar and shouting, “Luo Chao, hurry up.”

Luo Chao quickly waved her hand as acknowledgment. She turned around and said, “Brother Shiyu, let’s talk when we get back.”

We’ll talk when we get back? Is that possible? Li Shiyu ahd looked at Luo Chao with a complicated expression.

Luo Chao was just about to leave when Li Shiyu grabbed her hand.

Two question marks appeared in Luo Chao’s eyes.

Li Shiyu lifted Luo Chao’s hand and took out something from his pocket.

It was a silver bracelet, one that was beautifully crafted.

He slowly wrapped the bracelet around Luo Chao’s wrist. Luo Chao looked at Li Shiyu’s actions in confusion. She didn’t know what its significance was; all she did was wait quietly for Li Shiyu’s explanation.

She heard a click when the bracelet was fastened.

Li Shiyu’s gentle voice rang in Luo Chao’s ears. “I got Xin Yuan to make this. There’s a mechanism inside. I have a new agent that I just invented. Of course, I hope that you don’t need to use it. That’s because using it means that you’re in a desperate situation.”

Li Shiyu looked at the bracelet with a complicated expression. It was unknown if giving this bracelet to Luo Chao was good or bad for her.

Luo Chao, who knew Li Shiyu very well, immediately understood. “The agent isn’t mature yet. Are you not sure of the results?”

Li Shiyu gave Luo Chao an approving look. “Do you still remember the accident when I was concocting Nuwa’s Number Three agent?”

Luo Chao’s expression turned serious when she heard that. “I remember that when Boss went out for a mission, someone had used that opportunity to tamper with your laboratory.”

“Yes. Actually, I know who the mastermind is. However, they have groomed me for so many years. They can have the unimportant information if they want it. It can be considered as repayment for grooming me,” Li Shiyu said calmly. It was also at that moment when he severed his ties of gratitude.

“However, there was a silver lining. They were probably afraid that I would create a new agent so they wanted to deal some damage. Unexpectedly, a new agent was produced.” Li Shiyu looked at the bracelet and frowned slightly. “It’s a pity that I haven’t figured out the formula yet. The ones I concocted later were always a little off.”

Just this tiny difference was completely different from the effects of the new agent that was accidentally produced.

“So, that accidental agent is in this bracelet?” Luo Chao immediately came to a realization.

“Yes, I wanted to use it as another trump card for Lingtian. It’s a pity…” Li Shiyu felt a little regretful. If he had more time, he would have more confidence in this battle.

Luo Chao’s expression changed. She immediately went to undo the bracelet and return it to Li Shiyu.

“Don’t move! This agent is going to be wasted if you accidentally activate the mechanism.” Li Shiyu quickly stopped her.

“Brother Shiyu, this agent should be given to someone more suitable,” Luo Chao said firmly.

“No, the effects of this agent are higher for people who are weaker. The agent will be much weaker the other way round. According to my research, the agent might not have any effects on an imperial realm formidable warrior. Not only is it ineffective for the god-realm, but it might also have the opposite effect,” Li Shiyu explained.

“But at the same time, its side effects are quite scary. I haven’t thought of a solution yet,” Li Shiyu said seriously. “I don’t know if it’s right or wrong for me to give it to you. Its side effects might make you wish you were dead.”

“Even so, I still feel that you might need it.” Li Shiyu clenched his fists tightly. He looked at Luo Chao with a complicated gaze. His rationality didn’t allow him to do this but he felt that this was what Luo Chao needed. He should give it to her.

Luo Chao smiled. She knew why Li Shiyu did this. He knew what she wanted.

She hugged Li Shiyu tightly and smiled. “Brother Shiyu, thank you!”

She smiled very sweetly. It was as beautiful as Luo Lang’s smile when he activated his innate talent domain. Even though she was smiling, two drops of tears fell silently from her eyes.

This was the first time she felt this kind of satisfaction and gratitude in her heart for being so doted, understood, and supported.

“Luo Chao, you must come back alive!”

Luo Chao seemed to remember Li Shiyu’s last words by her ears.
