When Lu Yu said that, the surrounding air seemed to have stopped moving, and the entire room was strangely quiet.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward, but Lu Yu did not back down.
What he had said was like water that had been poured out. It was impossible to take it back. Moreover, Lu Yu did not want to take it back at all.
This was what he had always wanted to say.
Although it might sound like he was overestimating himself, to Lu Yu, this was a promise that he would protect with his life.
"Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"
The corners of Hua Mulan's mouth twitched slightly, and her beautiful eyebrows were also slightly furrowed.
Lu Yu's words were earth-shattering and shocked Hua Mulan.
Lu Yu's unwavering gaze was what made her feel troubled.
"You protect the Great Wall, and I will protect you.”
If these words were only spoken verbally, Hua Mulan would only treat it as a joke and laugh it off.
However, he could not see any confusion in Lu Yu's eyes.
"Because I don't want to see you get hurt again, and I don't want to see you die.”
Shattered armor, messy hair, weak body, pale face, and flowing blood.
That was a scene that Lu Yu did not want to see again.
War would cause injuries and deaths. Lu Yu understood this.
However, the only thing he did not want to see was his steel-like body facing an enemy that was thousands of times stronger than him.
Hua Mulan, you are not a god. You are not the only one who should protect everything.
If you are the sword that protects the world, then I will be your shield.
"Mulan, since you like this porridge, I will make one for you in the future.”
Lu Yu also stood up slowly.
What he wanted to say had already been said. Even if he said anything more, it would just be repeating what he had said before.
"Alright."
If it was only on this point, Hua Mulan would naturally be very happy to agree.
However, she still could not digest what Lu Yu had just said.
Wait, what did he just call me?
When Hua Mulan came back to her senses, Lu Yu had already left, along with the bowl and spoon.
"How rude!"
Hua Mulan shook her head with a bitter smile.
Lu Yu's personality was really similar to his.
......
"Phew."
After walking out of Hua Mulan's house, Lu Yu let out a long sigh. He stopped and looked back.
This time, Hua Mulan didn't seem to be angry, right?
Moreover, when he left, he even called her Mulan.
When he woke up, his heart couldn't help but beat rapidly.
This was a little too intimate.
He wondered if Hua Mulan had noticed.
However, his mission was considered completed, right?
At least, from the last sentence, Hua Mulan should not be as depressed as she was yesterday.
Recalling what Hua Mulan had said to him just now, Lu Yu realized that the two of them had the same thoughts.
It turned out that they were both worried about whether the other party would care.
"Ding! Completed the hidden mission of cooking for Hua Mulan. Reward: 10000 gold coins. Hua Mulan's favorability increased by 20 points!”
It was rare to hear the system's announcement, and Lu Yu felt a little nostalgic for a moment.
"Lu Yu."
Just as Lu Yu was walking towards the kitchen to wash the dishes, a cold voice interrupted him.
"Armor?"
Lu Yu stopped, not only because of Kai's call, but also because of the chill that made his heart throb.
"Is there anything?"
Did that chill just now come from Kai?
But why?
"Lu Yu, I have something to discuss with you.”
Kai first looked around before speaking indifferently.
"What did Mulan say to you just now?”
Kai's blue eyes flickered with a faint light as he stared at Lu Yu.
A faint sense of pressure invaded Lu Yu's entire body, as if it was saying,'If you dare to play any tricks, I'll kill you.'
"Um, Sister Mulan praised my porridge.”
Lu Yu raised the bowl in his hand and smiled awkwardly.
Kai's expression made him feel that something was wrong.
Could it be that he wanted to make a move?
But she didn't provoke him.
"That's all?"
Kai's eyes became colder and colder, and his tone became serious. The faint demonic intent around him gradually began to condense.
"Did I say anything else?"
Lu Yu was a little scared. Was this a sign that Kai was going to make a move?
"Didn't you tell Mulan that you would protect the Great Wall and I would protect you?”
When Kai said this, the air froze.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
"Kai, how did you know?"
Lu Yu peeked at Kai and asked carefully.
"Ahem, I happened to pass by and overheard it.”
As expected of Kai, his eyes were calm and his heart was not beating fast. There was not a hint of embarrassment on his face after being exposed.
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Lu Yu teased.
So Kai could eavesdrop?
She felt that his cold and aloof image was a little ruined.
"Let's not talk about this. I just want to ask you if everything you said to Mulan was your true thoughts or a joke.”
Kai's expression returned to its previous cold and serious state.
However, the question he asked was no less than a dilemma for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu had a feeling that no matter which answer he chose, he would definitely be " educated " by Kai.
However, compared to this, Lu Yu was even more unwilling to answer that everything he said was just a joke.
As a man, as long as he said something, it was like water that had been poured out. He would not take it back.
"It's my own thoughts. What's wrong?”
Lu Yu gulped and pretended to be calm.
At this moment, if he gave in, he would probably not have a good ending.
However, Kai, aren't you Hua Mulan's comrade? Why did he look like he was jealous?
"Humph."
" Humph!" He snorted coldly, as if he was surprised by Lu Yu's firm attitude. His gaze became interested.
"Do you think you have the ability?”
Kai looked straight into Lu Yu's eyes and continued to ask.
"Sister Mulan is not confident that she can protect the Great Wall forever, but she has always held on. Perhaps I don't have superhuman strength like you, but I will still hold on to my promise.”
For some reason, Lu Yu was not as nervous as before after the explanation.
After all, this was his true thoughts, so there was no need to hide it.
However, saying it in front of Kai made him feel weird.
"If this is what you really think."
"Then, let me see if you have the ability.”
Kai's voice became stern. The blue sword in his hand was stabbed into the ground. His expression was solemn, and the demonic will around him became stronger.
"Lu Yu, my name is Kai. I challenge you.”
Kai's gaze was like a sharp blade in his hand, firmly locked onto Lu Yu.
