Chapter 8: Telekinetic Spellcasting - Jaw-dropping!
The rental rooms in the old town were quiet.
Only the old-fashioned wall clock kept clicking away.
The clock had long since passed 11 p.m.
Most of the streetlights outside the window were dimmed, with only a few scattered neon lights flickering.
Lu Qingyuan had been busy all day, and her whole body felt like it was about to fall apart.
He was constantly running between school and law firm to inquire about the situation.
I was so tired that I barely had the strength to lift my arms.
She grabbed the bath towel and clean pajamas draped over the chair.
He rubbed his sore shoulders and spoke to the person in the corner.
"I'm going to take a shower."
"Are you planning to lay down a mattress and sleep on the floor, or just sit here all night?"
Lu Jingchen was sitting cross-legged in the corner, his back ramrod straight.
Despite being a cramped, dilapidated little house, it somehow exuded an air of otherworldly tranquility.
Upon hearing her voice, he immediately opened his eyes, his gaze softening instantly.
"I'll just stay here."
"Yuanyuan, you've had a long day. Hurry up and take a shower and rest."
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine no matter what."
Lu Qingyuan pouted and rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Whatever, I've had the worst luck imaginable."
"How did I end up with such a troublesome older brother?"
He grumbled and cursed, but his feet honestly moved to the old wardrobe with its peeling paint.
The main characteristic is that they are stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside, without any ambiguity.
I flung open the cabinet door with a whoosh and rummaged through it for a while.
He brought out a fairly thick mattress and tossed it over.
The mattress landed steadily at his feet, without the slightest deviation.
She turned her face away, her tone extremely awkward, but her ears were secretly turning red.
"Make your own nest."
"If the temperature drops in the middle of the night and you catch a cold, don't blame it on me."
Lu Jingchen looked at the mattress at his feet, and his eyes instantly lit up like light bulbs.
His face was beaming with smiles, like a silly boy who had just received candy.
He has absolutely no airs of a supreme being in the cultivation world.
"No problem! Leave it to me!"
"I'll set up my bed right here, I promise I won't disturb your sleep!"
He had just bent down to grab the mattress, ready to spread it out.
His body suddenly froze, as if a pause button had been pressed.
The next second, he suddenly looked up and stared intently at the night sky in the distance outside the window.
Her eyes, which had been so soft just moments before, instantly changed.
His eyes were filled with a fierce aura, as cold as ice.
The temperature in the whole room dropped sharply, and even the light bulb flickered twice.
"Who gave you the guts?!"
"Dare to touch the death curse I placed? You're asking for trouble!"
He roared in a deep voice, the oppressive force in his voice making the windows vibrate.
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly made a hand gesture in front of him with one hand.
A dazzling golden light burst forth from his fingertips, which he then pointed sharply into the air.
An invisible, terrifying shockwave instantly pierced through the concrete wall.
It hurtled into the distant night sky, so fast that even the speed of light couldn't catch up.
The main objective is a cross-space dimensional reduction attack, without any ambiguity.
Lu Qingyuan had just stepped to the bathroom door, her hand already on the doorknob.
Hearing his angry shout, he instinctively turned around abruptly.
What happened to catch their eye was the burst of golden light from his fingertips.
And that overwhelming, suffocating aura.
He was completely different from the silly older brother who had been grinning and begging for shelter just moments before.
She froze on the spot, the bath towel in her hand falling to the ground with a thud.
I shuddered violently, and goosebumps rose all over my body.
His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't find his voice for a long time.
His tone was full of undisguised bewilderment and shock.
"What... what was that thing just now?"
"Lu Jingchen, what were you doing just now?!"
Upon hearing her voice, Lu Jingchen immediately stopped his hand seals.
The oppressive aura and fierce energy emanating from his body vanished completely in an instant.
Even the golden light at the fingertips vanished without a trace, leaving not a single mark.
He turned to look at her, his usual harmless demeanor returning.
His expression was more serious than ever before, without a trace of a joke.
"Yuanyuan, this is a long story."
"Actually, I wasn't joking with you before. I really am a cultivator."
Lu Qingyuan stood there, her brows furrowed tightly.
Normally, she would have rolled her eyes and snapped back.
Either scold him for having a brain injury, for talking nonsense and being irresponsible.
This time, however, she didn't immediately retort or interrupt.
What just happened was absolutely outrageous, beyond belief.
It's not something that can be covered up by magic or special effects.
The mattress on the ground was still flipped over by the gust of wind.
The windowpanes were still swaying slightly; the aftershocks had not yet subsided.
Seeing that she didn't refute him, Lu Jingchen sighed softly.
He sat back down cross-legged on the ground, his tone tinged with helplessness.
There's also an undeniable sense of vicissitude, a feeling of age that can't be faked.
You might not believe it if I told you.
"I haven't just been missing for more than three months."
"I left Earth almost ten thousand years ago."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lu Qingyuan's eyes widened like saucers, and her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.
I was completely stunned; my brain shut down, and my CPU almost burned out.
His face was filled with utter disbelief, and his worldview was completely shattered.
Even his voice trembled uncontrollably, and his body swayed.
"One...ten thousand years?"
"They even escaped Earth? How is that possible?!"
"You've only been missing for a little over three months!"
"The neighbors downstairs can all testify!"
She staggered back half a step, her back pressed tightly against the bathroom door.
I haven't recovered from the shock yet.
a thousand years?
If this had been said normally, she would have just thought he was crazy and talking nonsense.
But the golden light that appeared out of nowhere just now, and that suffocating aura...
It was right there in front of her, leaving her no choice but to believe it.
The worldview she had built up over more than a decade of life crumbled completely at that moment.
She stared intently at Lu Jingchen in front of her, as if she were seeing him for the first time.
The person in front of me is clearly the same familiar face.
But his overall demeanor, and the world-destroying aura he had just displayed.
It wasn't her academically gifted brother who, before he disappeared, only knew how to bury himself in his books.
Who understands, family members? My brother, who had been missing for three months, came back and transformed into a cultivation master who had lived for ten thousand years.
This plot is a million times more outrageous than anything depicted in TV dramas.
