Chapter 578: Chapter 337: Lu Luwei’s Personality Change

On the docks, a group of big, burly men surrounded Lu Luwei and Leng Qingying.

Although they were engaged in this shady business, they weren’t idiots.

Knowing this woman was skilled, they didn’t rashly attack again. Instead, their leader, a muscular Rhino Beastman clad in silver armor, snarled viciously at Lu Luwei, "He didn’t provoke you. Why did you kill him?"

Lu Luwei tilted her head. "How strange. I don’t know either."

"I don’t know why he suddenly came over and ran into my arrow."

Lu Luwei put on an innocent act.

She gripped her Longbow, a playful look appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Oh...

Lu Luwei’s behavior was a complete departure from her usual self, as if she were a different person.

If this were a novel, Lu Cang would have suspected Lu Luwei was breaking character.

But unfortunately, this was reality.

All Lu Cang could sense was that Lu Luwei was having fun.

Leng Qingying, for her part, seemed unsurprised by Lu Luwei’s behavior.

’Come to think of it, I seem to recall Leng Qingying mentioning that Lu Luwei had a habit of holding back when they fought.’

’Is this another side of Lu Luwei?’

"He... ran into your arrow on his own?"

The Rhino Beastman looked at the pompadour-wearing goon on the ground. His mangled body had almost completely melted, practically fusing with the floorboards.

’She uses poison. A Poison Bow.’

’Looks like I’ll have to be wary of her poison.’

At this moment, nearly everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lu Luwei.

As for Leng Qingying, she had already been overlooked.

As an Assassin, Leng Qingying had already disengaged after her one strike and blended into the crowd.

"Our Moonfall Island’s harbor may be chaotic, but it’s not a place for random killings."

"In all these years, no one has ever started a fight on the docks."

Just then, a long, echoing voice sounded out.

Lu Luwei looked up to see a man holding a white Magic Staff slowly descending from the sky.

"To just start killing people here is a bit much, wouldn’t you say?"

"Do you have any idea who’s backing us?"

Lu Luwei replied, "Oh? Not really."

Xiumi was mixed in with the crowd. By now, many people had gathered around the docks.

They included both forces native to Moonfall Island and Adventurers who had come here seeking fortune.

"Huh? She actually picked a fight with these guys?"

"These people are bad news."

The red-haired woman next to Xiumi scratched her head. Lu Luwei now stood alone at the water’s edge, her back to the sea, as if she were single-handedly facing the hostility of the entire island.

"This person... given her strength, she shouldn’t have been messed with in the first place, right?"

"If she had shown her strength, these guys should have taken the money and politely let her go."

Even a Level 6 Reincarnator had to pay a fee to come here, known as the island entry fee.

The weaker you were, the more you’d be extorted on this island.

But over time, this had practically become an unwritten rule.

They just never expected someone so stubborn to show up today.

Over a few Gold Coins, she was actually provoking the local tyrants who had been entrenched here for years...

The Mage in the sky was a Level 6 Mage.

He was also a Root Mage.

By Level 6, the chances of a Mage not having grasped Root Magic were actually quite small.

The Mage and Lu Luwei faced off for a moment.

Their eyes met, as if each was sizing the other up.

After a moment, the Mage in the sky finally spoke again. "I’ve looked into the situation, and it seems he was the one who provoked you first."

"Around here, life and death are decided by fate. However, his life can’t have been lost for nothing."

"50,000 Gold Coins for his burial. Let’s just consider the matter closed."

Fifty Thousand Gold Coins for one life.

It was expensive, yes, but if Lu Luwei was truly a Level 6 Reincarnator, it wasn’t an amount she couldn’t afford.

Lu Luwei looked up at the sky, the faint smile on her face never fading.

"And what if I say no?"

From the noodle shop, Lu Cang watched this scene unfold through his Perception.

’Lu Luwei is just purely looking for a fight...’

"No?"

The Mage overhead paused.

He felt this was a very tricky situation.

Lu Luwei was so unyielding; she was clearly no easy target. But if they backed down now, they would look like pushovers.

The kind anyone could crush at will.

But what if the person before him was some great Level 7 senior, a wolf in sheep’s clothing...

He could only brace himself and say, "This deceased brother was my subordinate. He died in the line of duty, so I must get justice for him."

VMM!

In the sky, a light as bright as day flared to life!

But before he could fully unleash his attack, an Arrow was already upon him!

CLANG!

A resounding impact echoed in front of him.

A massive, invisible shield wall had materialized before him, blocking Lu Luwei’s surprise attack.

Lu Luwei had attacked, and she was even faster than him.

She had made her move before he made his.

He looked again.

Lu Luwei was already hovering in the air, high above the Moon Sea!

Without any more discussion, a sky-filling rain of arrows was already pouring down!

’Lu Luwei... is she craving a fight?’

’Lu Cang couldn’t shake the feeling that today’s Lu Luwei was a complete stranger.’

’It even felt as if she’d been possessed by someone else.’

’But during our time in Atlantis City, Lu Luwei had been within my Perception Range the whole time. She hadn’t gone out into the wilds or anything.’

’The only time we were separated was for a few hours on April 1st.’

’Other than that, the only other time was when we killed Saint One; we were briefly outside my Perception Range then.’

’What could possibly have happened?’

’I didn’t see her come into contact with anything she shouldn’t have.’

’Besides, the feedback I got from touching her was all normal.’

’The touch from more than ten days ago was completely normal.’

A sky full of Arrows formed hundreds of long dragons made of arrow-rain, surrounding the lone Mage from all directions and pouring down upon him!

But then, in the sky, tens of thousands of pure white eyes opened out of thin air!

Tier Six Sky Magic: Ten Thousand Eyes Celestial Weaving

Fierce white light erupted from the countless eyes, sweeping over the Arrows and turning a huge number of them to ash.

But a few of Lu Luwei’s powerful Arrows still pierced directly through the white light.

They hurtled toward the Mage below!

BOOM!

The rain of arrows was blocked by the invisible shield wall, as a sturdy Defender took the Mage’s place and absorbed all the attacks.

At the same time, Lu Cang also saw an extremely fast Assassin hiding in the shadows, approaching Lu Luwei.

And from the front, a Warrior clad in pure black heavy armor charged directly at Lu Luwei!

A Level 6 Mage, a Level 6 Defender, a Level 6 Assassin, and a Level 6 Warrior...

It was basically a Level 6 adventurer party.

And they had sent out their entire force just to deal with a single Level 5 Archer.

Moreover, Lu Cang gradually sensed some even more powerful presences entering his Perception Range.

They seemed to be Level 7 Reincarnators, returning from outside the harbor.

’As expected, Moonfall Island couldn’t possibly have only a few Level 6 Reincarnators.’

SWOOSH—

Lu Luwei’s figure flickered at an incredible speed.

Her movements were like those of a rapidly buzzing hornet, leaving countless afterimages in the sky. Every time she materialized, countless Arrows would unfold like wings of light!

Blanketing the sky, they swept down toward the Warrior before her!

Lu Luwei had already left the Mage’s casting range; his Magic couldn’t touch her at all.

Her range was far too great.

’Lu Cang estimated that while it would take some effort for Lu Luwei to finish these people off, she shouldn’t have any major problems.’

’More than that, it was this sense of dissonance that concerned me.’

"An Su."

"What do you think of Lu Luwei?"

An Su replied, "Her figure, you mean? There’s certainly nothing to criticize there. Back when I was young..."

Before An Su could finish, he sensed that Lu Cang’s mood was off.

He immediately changed his tune. "Of course, a type like that little childhood sweetheart of yours, Yuna, isn’t bad either. She just hasn’t fully developed yet."

"That’s not what I was talking about."

An Su grumbled to himself, ’I’m not a mind reader. How am I supposed to know what you’re thinking? You can read my thoughts, but it doesn’t work the other way around, does it?’

"I mean, Lu Luwei’s personality these past few days has been very different from usual."

"I’m worried it might be some kind of abnormality."

An Su said, "What kind of abnormality? Isn’t it normal for a woman’s personality to vary wildly?"

"Happy one day, unhappy the next. That’s just how it is."

"One moment you say you won’t doubt someone you trust, and the next you’re getting all suspicious just because their personality changes a little."

"There are plenty of things in this world that can cause a personality change. Let’s not even talk about Mind-based techniques like possession, Spirit Control, thought-planting, or mental suggestion."

"Just adhering to one’s principles, or having a crisis of self-identity—those are enough to change a person’s personality."

"Not to mention, there’s also such a thing as Spiritual Contamination."

"You ask me why her personality is different from usual, but what answer do you really expect me to give?"
