Chapter One Little Girl

  Annan Xiu finished speaking and returned to her room. After a while, she came out with great difficulty carrying an old bronze-colored trunk.

  Li Luyu had never entered Annan Xiu's room, but sometimes the door was not closed, and Li Luyu often saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees with her hair disheveled, he knew that she came to this world, in her heart, it wasn't as calm as it seemed on the surface.

  Will she think of the Tianyun Empire and miss the tree that was cut down for her?

  Annan Xiu always took out something that Li Luyu had never seen before, and Li Luyu didn't think it was strange either. He ran over to help, but it turned out to be particularly heavy.

  Li Luoyu placed the box on the dark tea table, "What is this?"

  "My spoils of war." Annan Shou said with a pleased expression.

  The box is square and rectangular, with a length, width, and height of about 50 centimeters each. It feels cold to the touch and appears to be made of some kind of metal. The craftsmanship is extremely fine, with no rough edges or seams, giving off a sense of handmade polishing. On the lid of the box, there is an embossed image of a bull-headed monster surrounded by embossed symbolic text.

  Li Rouyu looked down and saw that the box was surrounded by the same symbols, arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet somehow secretly regular pattern.

  Ann opened the box, putting the lid to one side and revealing her spoils of war: a suit of dark red armor, with a helmet adorned with two sharp curved horns on top.

  Li Luoyu took a deep breath, and indeed, it was an item from the mythological world, not something that could be compared to the rough and crude things made by COSPLAY enthusiasts themselves. Even those so-called genuine peripheral products couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as this one. The gap between this set and even the high-end collections of armor collectors was difficult to measure in terms of distance.

  The helmet is composed of countless tiny scales, each one polished to a mirror finish. The armor under the helmet is vaguely visible as metal and fabric materials, with dark red colors depicting mysterious black crack-like patterns.

  Although it gives Li Luoyu a feeling that this whole set of armor is definitely inferior to Annan Xiu's own palace attire, the gap shouldn't be too big.

  "Put it on and try." An Nanxiu tossed the helmet to Li Luyu.

  Li Rouyu hastily and carefully took it over, the helmet was not heavy, but it gave people a very solid feeling.

  Annan Xiu took out the armor again, as well as gloves that covered her entire arm, long boots that wrapped around her knees, and a pair of bat-shaped metal wings that unfolded to over two meters in length.

  Li Luyu was thrilled to see this, and with a similar style of dress appearing in any game or comic, it would absolutely only belong to the main character or big BOSS. This is the ultimate equipment for COSPLAY enthusiasts, and even the most professional COSPLAY enthusiasts wouldn't be able to own better equipment than this armor. Li Luyu felt that even if he held a world-class COSPLAY appraisal meeting, wearing this armor would still make him look incredibly cool and stunning, enough to shock everyone.

  Li Rouyou carried these things back to her room and spent over twenty minutes before coming out, but all she had put on was the armor, everything else was still unworn.

  An Nanxiu was already impatient, "Idiot, squat down."

  Li Rouyou half-knelt down, An Nanxiu tiptoed and helped Li Rouyou put on his helmet.

  Li Luyu's head was a bit big, not so smooth, and Annanxiu also had some trouble, her small feet tapping and falling down, her small chest swaying beside Li Luyu's cheek.

  A refreshing and elegant fragrance wafted through my nostrils, accompanied by a unique milky scent reminiscent of a young girl. It was as if the sweetest cream had released its aroma, not particularly strong but incredibly alluring, making me involuntarily sniff in deeply.

  Annan Xiu was wearing a light yellow off-the-shoulder T-shirt, and the small chest inside seemed to be jumping up and down. Li Luyu had never bought her underwear before, nor did he know what she was wearing underneath. Although it didn't seem big, the feeling of trembling and shaking with her clothes made Li Luyu dare not look more.

  He only treated Annan Xiu as a little girl, but the little girl was also a girl. Occasionally, she revealed her innate temptation and charm to the opposite sex, which made Li Luyu, who was in his prime, somewhat unbearable.

  Lǐ Lùyóu was a bit dazed, what's wrong with him? He actually had such a perverted thought about a 14-year-old girl, could it be the effect of eating the Longevity Fruit? Of course, Lǐ Lùyóu had already realized that his body had undergone many changes, even his lower body had expanded, although his hair was burned off, but the hair in other places had become more luxuriant. From a scientific perspective, it was because the growth hormone, male hormone, and hormone secretion in his body had strengthened, so this reaction was only to be expected.

  Li Luyu was only stimulated by some visual and olfactory sensations, and did not really have any feelings for An Nanxiu. Not to mention that An Nanxiu was too young, even if she were the same age as him, he would still be hesitant to approach her. Although An Zhishui had a bad temper, she wouldn't be like An Nanxiu who would use a lightning ball to roast people until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside at the slightest provocation.

  Annan Xiu Ke didn't notice the cleverness of Li Luoyou's route, and frowned at his attire, suddenly punching the armor on his lower abdomen, "What did you put in there, it's bulging so high!"

  "Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"

  Annan Xiuyi has always been like this, once he sees something that doesn't go his way, he would lash out with several blows in a row.

  "An Nan Xiu..." Li Luoyu didn't even know his own body's reaction was so intense, it actually lifted the armor, and he himself was also secretly shocked, his little brother actually had such great strength, the armor was light but still metal!

  He didn't have the heart to be surprised, any man who was beaten like that would feel unimaginable pain, his forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and he shrunk into a ball, but couldn't say anything to An Nanxiu.

  Although An Nan Xiu was picked from the tree, there is still a distinction between men and women. These things she clearly understands some, Li Lu You doesn't want her to know that he just had some crooked thoughts.

  "Your body is too weak...... I still hope you can become a god apprentice soon." An Nanxiu was somewhat pleased, Li Luyu was not very obedient, but it was easy to capture him, just a few punches were enough, no need to use the Thunderball, it seemed that he had also recovered some physical strength without realizing it.

  "What's this 'Divine Technique' and 'Divine Disciple' you're talking about? What exactly is that?" Li Rouyou took a few deep breaths, feeling a bit better. It seemed that the armor was just for show and didn't have any defensive capabilities after all.

  Annan Xiu said as he reminded Li Luoye to put on his gauntlets and greaves, "I've already told you, the Divine Disciples are merely violent thugs who worship power, while the Divine Masters are wise men who pursue infinite creativity akin to that of the gods."

  "Xianzhe?" Li Luyu couldn't help but laugh, how could he know that An Nanxiu was a divine technique master? What did she have to do with Xianzhe? In Li Luyu's impression, most Xianzhes were erudite and talented elderly people who commanded respect. An Nanxiu looked like she had nothing to do with Xianzhe, let alone being one herself.

  An Nanxiu understood what Li Luyu meant, but just gave a cold laugh.

  "I entered the Imperial Palace at the age of one, graduated with top honors at three, and received the Bo Xue Dian Medal from the Imperial Library. I then entered the Tian Yun Royal Academy, where I ranked first among 560 imperial children upon graduation at six years old, earning the Tian Yun Royal Academy's Innate Temple Award. By the time I entered the Great Sage Hall, I had already become the youngest divine technique master in Tian Yun. At ten years old, I obtained the Great Sage Staff." An Nan Xiu stretched out her hand, and with a flash of light, the Great Sage Staff appeared in her hand, accompanied by the soft tinkling of wind chimes that seemed to hold mysterious power. She looked up at Li Luoyu with pride, "What were you doing when you were ten?"

  This is probably what they mean by genius, looking at Annan's appearance, even if the people born in the Tianyun Divine Realm are more mature than Earthlings from birth, Annan is still quite impressive. Li Luyu thought for a while before saying: "When I was one year old, I should have been drinking milk, when I was three years old, I didn't wet my bed anymore, at six years old, I must have started elementary school, and at ten years old... Hehe, anyway, by that time, I wouldn't be licking an ice pop like a kid. In our place, only little kids like to eat white sugar ice pops."

  "Are you saying I'm a kid?" Annan Xiu's cheeks flushed bright red. "Then why is there white sugar ice stick in your fridge?"

  "During the summer vacation, I was doing tutoring, and they were all elementary school students. I bought them," said Li Luyou. What he said was true. On a hot day, eating white sugar ice bars can relieve the heat, compared to various additive ice creams and snow cones, just white sugar and water white sugar ice bars are more refreshing and satisfying.

  "Who told you to put it in the fridge, I don't know!" Annan Xiu hummed and turned her head away, "Anyway, I'm much more capable than you, just listen to what I say."

  "Yes, then tell me again about the difference between a god's disciple and a god's technique master. I want to hear something more essential. Didn't you want me to become a god's disciple?" Li Luoyu didn't go overboard in striking her down anymore. The more he interacted with her, the clearer he saw that this princess who looked very proud was actually still very young and naive at heart under those gorgeous palace clothes.

  "What I'm talking about is the essence, the divine artisans possess creativity... Of course, this creativity can also be used for destruction, but that's not the true pursuit of the divine artisans. In their quest to have more creative power, they will infinitely approach the gods and eventually become a new deity worshiped by the entire divine realm. Divine artisans are more about bringing their own power closer to the gods, whereas divine followers are different. The power of divine followers will also get closer to the gods, but that power comes from the gods worshipped in the Cypress Temple. No matter how close the power of divine followers gets to those gods, they can never become gods themselves, only representatives and manifestations of those gods' power in the Tianyun Divine Realm."

  Li Luyu was stunned, only feeling that An Nanxiu was proud and arrogant, but never thought that her ultimate goal was to become a god, that is to say, even if it were an existence similar to the Pope on earth, or angels in Christian stories, they were all within her disdainful range.

  Sweat, thank you all, I almost thought I entered the wrong book review section yesterday.
