“It’s bad, I can’t let her come into contact with others.” The old man with white hair saw the green-haired girl and Rulu embracing and kissing on the ground, and quickly summoned a strong wind to separate the two on the ground.
“I hope she’s not dead. If the Emperor finds out, I’m finished.” The old man thought to himself as he cautiously approached the green-haired girl. Just then, Rulu pushed himself up with his palm and slowly stood up.
“Control him, don’t let him stand up.” The old man shouted loudly. The middle-aged man in white behind him raised his silver staff, intending to summon the wind again to control Rulu.
“Stop!” Rulu’s eyes glinted with a strange light as he fixed his gaze on the middle-aged man in white, shouting sternly.
The middle-aged man froze for a moment, lowering the silver staff he had just lifted, refraining from summoning the wind to attack Rulu.
“What are you still standing there for? Quickly make him lie down.” The old man noticed that the middle-aged man did not attack Rulu and shouted again.
“The one who should lie down is you, Great Mage.” A peculiar smile appeared on Rulu's face as he said in a strange tone.
“As you command.” The middle-aged man replied softly, quickly approaching the old man from behind. He raised his silver staff and struck it forcefully against the back of the old man's head.
With a dull thud, the silver staff accurately hit the old man's head, causing him to scream in agony and collapse to the ground.
“Have you gone mad? Stop it!!!” The old man turned around, glaring with terror in his eyes, and shouted hoarsely at the middle-aged man.
“You should lie down, Great Mage.” The middle-aged man said blankly, swinging the silver staff again and striking heavily at the old man's head.
The staff hit the old man's forehead, causing him to see stars and blood to flow from his head. The old man fell to the ground, convulsing and letting out a painful moan, completely losing the strength to resist.
“Calm him down; he must not make a sound.” Rulu said with a smile as he walked over to the fallen old man in white.
“Understood.” The middle-aged man replied, continuously swinging the silver staff to strike the old man's head, smashing it into a bloody mess, until the old man struggled for a while before finally lying still and no longer making any sounds.

“Ha ha... ah ha ha ha...” Rulu laughed happily, saying as he laughed, “This power... this power is truly amazing, beyond my imagination. With this power, my wishes can finally come true.”
After saying this, Rulu looked at the middle-aged man who stood dumbfounded in place and said in a commanding tone, “Well done, now you can die too.”
“Die?” The middle-aged man murmured, a look of struggle appearing in his eyes as his previously murky gaze became clear.
“What’s going on, Great Mage? Why are you lying on the ground? Why is there so much blood on me? What happened? Did... did I kill you?!” The middle-aged man trembled, fearfully looking at the old man in white on the ground, falling into great confusion.
“Hmm, it seems this power isn’t as strong as I thought; it can’t completely control a person’s mind, but it’s enough.” Rulu mumbled to himself. Taking advantage of the middle-aged man’s confusion, he pulled out a pistol and pulled the trigger at the middle-aged man.
With a clear bang, the middle-aged man fell into a pool of blood, confusion and fear in his eyes. The bullet struck his left chest, piercing his heart and killing him instantly.
“Hmph, this is what you brought upon yourselves; you can’t blame anyone else.” Rulu coldly glanced at the two men in white lying on the ground. He then walked over to the green-haired girl lying on the ground, noticing that her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was completely still.
“You can’t die; I have so many things I want to ask you.” Rulu thought, his expression becoming extremely tense. He crouched down and carefully placed his hand on the girl’s neck—feeling no pulse, he then placed his hand on her nose—sensing no breath.
“It’s over...” Rulu looked as if he had lost his soul, his face showing a dazed expression. Still unwilling to give up, he leaned down, pressing his ear against her chest for nearly a minute.
“Although there’s still body heat, the heart has completely stopped beating. So, she... she really is dead.” Rulu’s face turned pale, his hands weakly falling to his sides, feeling as if all his strength had drained away.
“Who exactly are you? You gave me this strange power and then died so easily in front of me. Why? What is the reason for this?!” Rulu stared blankly at the girl’s beautiful face, pondering this question. However, after a long time, he still couldn’t find the answer.
“No matter what, I should still take her body out and find a good place to bury her. This is the only thing I can do for her.” After a long while, Rulu finally came back to his senses. He carried the green-haired girl’s body on his back and walked toward the exit of the underground tunnel.
However, Rulu was thin and had been injured in the earlier fight. Although the girl’s body wasn’t very heavy, it felt quite burdensome to him. After only ten minutes of walking, he started to struggle. In a moment of distraction, he stepped on a small stone and “thud,” fell heavily to the ground, nearly breaking his waist.
“I can’t do this; I’m not a Refining Body Ultra-capable, physical labor is not my strong suit.” Rulu covered his lower back, lying on the ground and panting heavily. After resting for a while, he finally stood up again.
“Though I really want to take you with me, I truly am powerless. Please forgive me; you can rest here.” Rulu said to the girl with a guilty heart. He found a secluded and clean spot in the cave, laid the girl’s body down, then took off his outer coat and covered her with it, before walking alone toward the exit of the underground tunnel.
Half an hour later, Rulu emerged from the underground tunnel, arriving in a suburban area. The sky was filled with twinkling stars, and the surroundings were empty and dark.
