Chapter 780 - 780 Something in the Water
780 Something in the Water
This damn crush.
Before he could tell her, his feelings were already destined to die in his heart.
He was so sad. Miss Zhao didn’t look like she was short of money. He really didn’t have any good points at all.
Bu Mo sighed inwardly. Poor Young Master.
Bu Mo glanced at Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu was deep in thought and did not notice the change in the emotions of the master and servant at all. Bu Mo sighed even more. Poor Young Master. Miss Zhao did not have any feelings for him at all. If she did, Miss Zhao would definitely blush.
However, he did not see such behaviors on Miss Zhao at all.
On the way back, the three of them had their own thoughts.
Su Xiaolu thought that she would come again tonight, so she did not notice that Li Kuo was in a low mood.
Su Xiaolu did not notice even after she returned to the Li Residence.
Li Kuo was very sad. He maintained a smile and said goodbye to Su Xiaolu with difficulty.
Su Xiaolu returned to the small courtyard and immediately sank her consciousness into the Space. She touched many Interface Stones in the lake and put them into the Space.
Mantis Shrimp was already lying on it and biting them one by one as if it was marking them.
Seeing Su Xiaolu, Mantis Shrimp’s cute voice was filled with helplessness. “Xiaolu, Xiaolu, thank you. When I grow up, I’ll definitely repay you. Slurp—”
Su Xiaolu walked over and touched Mantis Shrimp. She took a fist-sized interface stone and sniffed it. Fortunately, the smell of the strange lake did not remain.
Seeing that Mantis Shrimp was eating so happily, she didn’t tell him.
“Eat slowly. There’s still a lot left.”
Su Xiaolu said gently.
Seeing Mantis Shrimp eat happily, Su Xiaolu felt a sense of accomplishment. After watching for a while, she left the Space.
At night, Li Kuo came to eat with Su Xiaolu again.
This time, he spoke much less. Several times, he wanted to speak, but he stopped. He didn’t know what to say. He felt that he had lost his strengths and advantages.
Su Xiaolu was so focused on tonight’s actions that she did not pay much attention to Li Kuo.
Li Kuo was even more heartbroken.
After dinner, Li Kuo returned to the courtyard with a broken heart.
Seeing that Young Master was distracted, Bu Mo sighed and comforted him. “Young Master, Miss Zhao is very outstanding, but you’re not bad either.”
Li Kuo looked at Bu Mo. “How am I good?”
Bu Mo was stunned. Then, he thought about it seriously and said shyly, “You have money and power.”
Li Kuo sighed softly. “Father and Mother earned the money, and the power belongs to Big Brother. I’m not good at studying or martial arts, but Miss Zhao—she has superpowers at such a young age. If she can walk the martial world alone, she must have good martial arts…”
The more he spoke, the more dejected he became.
Bu Mo scratched his head. Seeing that his young master was walking with heavy steps, he knew that this time, his young master’s confidence had really been dealt a blow.
He chased after him and said lamely, “Young Master, but you’re good-looking. In the future, Master and Madam will also give you half of the money. Eldest Young Master and you have a deep brotherhood. He will definitely take care of you.”
Li Kuo still sighed. These might be very tempting to other women, but it definitely wouldn’t work for Miss Zhao.
Miss Zhao’s preferences were different from ordinary women. She could drink and eat meat in big mouthfuls. She would like ordinary stones and didn’t even care about the stench of the strange lake. She also knew medicine. How could such an ostentatious and carefree woman be tempted by his money?
Bu Mo also sighed. His young master was really not clear-headed when he should be. He was not muddle-headed when he should be.

Late at night, it was already midnight. The Li Residence was quiet.
Su Xiaolu gently went out. She tapped her toes and easily flew away from the Li Residence.
Su Xiaolu did not know that Li Kuo could not sleep in the middle of the night. He was sitting alone in the courtyard. When he saw Su Xiaolu’s figure fly past, his eyes widened. In just a few seconds, many inexplicable emotions flashed across his face.
Miss Zhao was so amazing. He liked her so much, but he was even more unworthy of such a powerful Miss Zhao. It was so late. Where was Miss Zhao going?
Li Kuo thought of the strange lake during the day.
Li Kuo immediately stood up. It was already so late. What if Miss Zhao went to the strange lake? What if she encountered danger? He had to go and take a look. If Miss Zhao was really in danger, he could save her.
It was already so late. If he alarmed Bu Mo, it would definitely alarm his parents. It was impossible for Bu Mo to let him leave the residence alone. If it blew up, his parents would definitely not agree. Li Kuo made a decision in a few seconds and quietly left the residence.
He didn’t know Qinggong, but he could ride a horse.
Miss Zhao did not ride a horse. Her Qinggong was really good. It was not a short journey.
Thinking that she could fly in the sky, Li Kuo was a little envious.
He rarely went out at night, and he was alone. Li Kuo also felt ardor and zeal coursing through their blood. He was really excited.

Su Xiaolu arrived at the strange lake quietly. The stench made it difficult for her to adapt, so she took a silver needle and pricked herself. Then, without hesitation, she went straight into the lake.
The lake was very big, and there were many interface stones inside.
She could breathe freely in the water, so she did not restrain herself. She sank to the bottom of the riverbed and searched them one by one. It did not matter if she could not see anything.
She was protected by a wall of water. No matter what it was, it could not hurt her in an instant. As long as it alarmed her, she would have time to react.
Su Xiaolu touched the interface stones one by one and felt happy.
This much should be enough for Mantis Shrimp to eat for a long time. After Mantis Shrimp finished these, it would definitely grow again.
She had raised him bit by bit. Just thinking about it made her very happy.
When the water flow changed rapidly, Su Xiaolu sensed it immediately. Something brushed past her waist and hit the water wall she had erected. It was very, very long. Su Xiaolu guessed that it should be a big fish.
She had also been hit by such a thing during the day.
At that time, she was worried about Li Kuo on the boat, so she left the bottom of the lake early. But now that she had come alone, she no longer had any worries.
That thing bumped into her as a test.
Su Xiaolu could not see and did not know where it would come from next time, so she simply did not care and continued to look for Interface Stones.
However, she was actually already prepared for battle.
There must be demons, Fey, and demonic spirits when something was abnormal. Now that the world and the foreign land had fused, it could also be explained as abnormal treasures.
She was not afraid. There was something strange about this lake. Her sensing ability was very weak, and she could only feel that it was a big guy. She had to catch it on the shore to know what it was. Since she could not do anything to it in the water, she would catch it ashore.
Su Xiaolu touched the interface stones for a while more. When the water flow fluctuated again, she quickly reacted. The moment the thing collided with her, she instantly used her superpower. The water wall quickly enveloped the thing.
As for herself, she quickly prepared to go ashore. She could feel that the thing was really big. Its struggle stirred the calm lake water. It was trying to break through the wall of water that Su Xiaolu had locked onto it.
This was a tug-of-war. Su Xiaolu’s power made it feel danger. In a daze, Su Xiaolu heard intermittent shouts of “Help—”
