Lu Ze thought about it and decided to leave the matter for later. Looking at the time, he realized it was already midnight. Lu Ze got out of his room and checked each room until he found a few of the girls in Alice’s room. The three girls were cooking while Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha were resting on the couch.
Lu Ze sat down. They started chatting.
Soon, Alice and the rest carried out a table of appetizing food.
After a satisfying dinner, they returned to their own rooms to cultivate.
Lu Ze took a deep breath and entered the Pocket Hunting Dimension.
At the portals, Lu Ze looked around and saw Qiuyue Hesha’s light orb. There was indeed another glowing orb next to it. Lu Ze could sense his own familiar chi.
Lu Ze sighed. He extended his mental force to the orb. As expected, he could tell what Lu Li was doing. She had her eyes closed with the plan to cultivate.
Lu Ze revealed a cheeky grin.
‘Would she be scared the first time she enters?’
He dragged her inside. Immediately, her orb materialized, and a figure appeared thereafter.
When the light finally vanished, Lu Li emerged.
Lu Ze grinned and went behind Lu Li. He covered her eyes with his hands and toned down his voice. “Guess who?”
Lu Li: “???”
She was taken aback. She was minding her own business. But then, something invaded her consciousness. Her mind drew a blank. When she regained her senses, she found herself transported to an eerie place that seemed to be a different dimension.
When she was about to attack, she sensed Lu Ze’s familiar aura. She was way too familiar with his chi. Hence, her tense body immediately relaxed.
She asked, “Lu Ze! Where is this place? Why are we here?”
Lu Ze wasn’t surprised she could guess his identity. He smiled and covered her eyes while hugging her waist. “This is my world.”
Lu Li rolled her eyes and patted Lu Ze’s hand. “Stop it. What’s going on here?”
Seeing that Lu Li was nervous, Lu Ze found it entertaining and explained the Pocket Hunting Dimension to her.
After he was done, Lu Li gazed at the four portals with wide-open eyes. She confirmed, “Are you saying those orbs originated from the worlds inside?”
Lu Ze confirmed it. “Yes. Because of yesterday, you received my chi. It is the reason I can pull you inside too.”
Lu Li felt stunned, and her face became flushed. But soon, she caught on. Her expression became strange. “Wait… Sister Hesha has your chi too, right?” Lu Ze’s smile stiffened. He laughed awkwardly. “Hahaha… you’re Li indeed! You’re so smart!”
Lu Li wasn’t happy at all upon hearing the compliment though. She glared at Lu Ze before looking around curiously and asked, “Where is Sister Hesha?”
Lu Ze smiled. “She isn’t in here yet. I have to drag her inside.”
Lu Ze’s mental force connected with Qiuyue Hesha’s orb, causing the figure of the latter to appear.
Lu Li only noticed the light orbs on the side. She discovered the other orb was her.
Qiuyue Hesha finally joined the two. She was intimately familiar with the process. When she saw the curious Lu Li, she smirked. She came over and hugged the other girl. “Li, you’re finally inside. It is a pitiful experience to be alone in here.”
Lu Li: “???”
Lu Li asked, “Why?”
Lu Ze: “…”
He didn’t even have the time to explain their purpose yet…
Qiuyue Hesha narrowed her eyes and looked at him. “Didn’t he tell you the reason why?”
Lu Li: “???”
She looked at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze coughed it off. “It’s nothing. It’s just that after we die in the Pocket Hunting Dimension, we would experience a painful sensation.”
Lu Li: “???”
“Die? We would die??” Qiuyue Hesha grinned. Before, she was the only one who suffered. Now, she finally had another sister who would share the same fate as her.
‘Great!
She smiled. “We have to die before we can leave the Pocket Hunting Dimension.”
Lu Li: “…”
She was in disbelief. “You have to die to get out? Doesn’t that mean he’s been dying every day? Wait…”
Lu Li suddenly looked at him. “Lu Ze… did you die every day for those orbs?”
Thinking about it, her eyes welled up with tears.
Lu Ze immediately knew what she was thinking. The fox demon reacted the same way when she first came in.
Lu Ze responded, “Not every day. From awakening the god art until now, I didn’t die for about a month.”
Of course, he only survived until the end of the Pocket Hunting Dimension’s time on the first map. As for the other times, well, he didn’t enter the dimension then.
It was too hard to leave the Pocket Hunting Dimension alive.
Lu Li’s heart ached more upon hearing his words.
‘Didn’t that mean this guy died over a thousand times?’
‘Yet, this bastard, could still laugh?!’
Lu Li bit her lips and glared at Lu Ze. In the next moment, she flipped her long hair and said, “We are going to kill beasts, right? I’m not strong enough, but my divine art is useful. I will come in this dimension every day from now on.”
Qiuyue Hesha smiled. “Even if Li doesn’t want to enter, I will drag you inside to keep me company.”
‘What a joke! She can’t be the only one who should experience that horrifying death!’
‘Mhm… Not just Lu Li. None of the other girls can escape this!’
Lu Li rolled her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, “Do we go enter the portal now?”
Before Lu Ze could say anything, Qiuyue Hesha giggled. “Don’t be impatient, Li. There is a final ritual yet to be done.” Lu Li was confused. “What ritual?”
Lu Ze: “…”
His mouth twitched after seeing her innocent eyes.
‘Is the conscience of the fox demon not bothered when she said those words?’
Qiuyue Hesha smiled. “Ah, I will teach you.”
After a long while, the three appeared on the fourth map.
Lu Li’s face turned red. She was still pondering life.
Qiuyue Hesha grinned with a satisfied smile.
Meanwhile, Lu Ze forced himself not to laugh. He was scared it would tip Lu Li off.
Lu Ze looked at the satisfied Qiuyue Hesha and wondered whether she also liked girls.
‘Why did he feel she was more delighted than him?’
Lu Ze shook his head and focused. “Li, it’s your first time in here, you should look out. Hesha, take care of her.”
Lu Li attempted to disregard what happened. She nodded. “Okay, I know.”
