Gods: Start with Goblins

"Brother, brother, you are lying, aren't you? You are deceiving us, aren't you?" Lu Yu's voice was trembling, tears welled up in her eyes. She tightly grasped Lu Ren's collar, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life. "How could this be possible? No, I don't want to believe it, I don't want to!"

Lu Ren looked at her stubbornness, and a nameless fire surged in his heart. He pushed away her hand that was grabbing his collar, and said impatiently: "Lu Yu, stop making trouble! You have to accept it whether you want to or not. This is the fact, and you have to accept it!"

After being pushed away, Lu Yu staggered a few steps and almost fell. She stared at Lu Ren with eyes wide open, her eyes full of disbelief: "Brother, how could you do this to me? How could you be so cruel?"

Lu Ren took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to act emotionally, and they had to do everything they could to survive: "Lu Yu, if you don't want to die, come with me to beg this Master Luo. Maybe he will soften his heart and save us this time. Otherwise, we can only wait to die!"

Lu Yu stood there in a daze, as if she had been hit hard. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She couldn't accept this cruel fact, and couldn't accept the threat of death that she was about to face.

After a long while, Lu Yu finally reacted. She looked at Lu Ren's pleading eyes, and an inexplicable courage surged in her heart. She knew that she couldn't just give up and had to work hard to survive.

So, she followed Lu Ren in begging for mercy: "Master Luo, I was not sensible enough before and offended you. I beg you to be magnanimous and not to be mean to me. Please save us this time. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die!"

As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Her voice was filled with tears and seemed particularly miserable.

Seeing this, Lu Ren also knelt down quickly and continued to plead: "Master Luo, please save my sister and me. We don't want to die yet. As long as you don't let us die here, we are willing to do anything."

Young Master Luo stood there quietly, watching the two of them kowtow and beg for mercy, with a complicated look in his eyes. He did not agree immediately, nor did he refuse, but just stood there silently, as if thinking about something.

Lu Yu and Lu Ren were extremely anxious, they didn't know whether Master Luo would save them. They could only continue to kowtow and beg for mercy, hoping that Master Luo would relent and give them a chance to survive.

The others looked at Lu Ren and Lu Yu, their eyes full of pleading and helplessness, as if at this moment, Luo Dan had become their only lifeline. In the end, everyone's pleading eyes fell on Luo Dan at the same time, and the air was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere.

Lu Ren's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. He swallowed nervously, knowing that if these people threatened and bribed him, Luo Dan, a stern young man, would not necessarily be soft-hearted. After all, Luo Dan was never the kind of person who was easily shaken by the outside world.

However, these people only asked for help in order to survive, without any false feelings or threats. Their eyes revealed a pure desire to survive and an infinite desire for life.

Luo Dan couldn't just turn a blind eye. He wasn't a heartless person. Looking at them, he didn't know what he was thinking. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he fell into silence. He seemed to be weighing something, and seemed to be recalling some past experiences.

Seeing that the other party had no reaction at all, Lu Ren's heart skipped a beat. He began to worry that Luo Dan would reject their request. He gritted his teeth and decided to plead again: "Master Luo, we will definitely double our compensation for our previous offense. This time, I just hope you can save us. For the sake of a life, please be merciful and give us a chance."

Lu Yu also quickly agreed, "Master Luo, my brother is right. We really know we are wrong. As long as you are willing to save us, we will obey you in the future and will never dare to offend you again."

Others also spoke up, pleading with Luo Dan one by one. Their voices were trembling, revealing their fear of death and their desire to survive.

Finally, Luo Dan looked at them thoughtfully for a while, and he had already made up his mind. He took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Okay, I promise you. But you must remember that the reason I saved you this time was not because of your pleading, but because I didn't want to see innocent lives disappear like this. From now on, you must cherish your life and don't take risks easily."

After hearing Luo Dan's words, everyone's faces showed joy of surviving a disaster. They nodded repeatedly and looked at Luo Dan with gratitude, as if at this moment, Luo Dan had become a hero in their hearts. Lu Ren and Lu Yu were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, they knew that they had finally been pulled back from the brink of death.

When they heard the news, they were like being struck by a bolt of thunder, with shock and disbelief on their faces. They stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths slightly open, unable to recover for a long time.

"Luo, Master Luo, have you agreed? Have you really agreed?" Lu Yu was the first to react, her voice trembling, her eyes flashing with disbelief. She tightly grasped Luo Dan's sleeve, fearing that this was just a dream, fearing that Luo Dan would suddenly regret it.

Luo Dan looked at her excited expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said firmly: "Yes, for the sake of your survival, I will give you one last chance. I hope I didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person, and I didn't save the wrong person."

As soon as these words came out, a strange look flashed in the eyes of these people. They didn't expect that Luo Dan was actually willing to save them. At this moment, their hearts were filled with gratitude and joy, as if they were pulled back to the world from the edge of hell.

Lu Ren was the first to pat his chest and make a promise, his voice full of firmness and determination: "Master Luo, don't worry, as long as you are willing to save us, we will definitely work like slaves to repay your kindness. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it without hesitation, I will definitely do it."

Others also echoed, they knew that they were able to survive this time, all thanks to Luo Dan's life-saving grace. They secretly swore in their hearts that they must repay Luo Dan in the future.

Luo Dan looked indifferent to these words. He did not show much expression, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not. He just stood there quietly, looking at these people, with a complicated look in his eyes.

Then, he took out the detoxification pill from the space and threw it directly to Lu Ren and others. His movements were clean and neat, without any hesitation. He knew that the poison in these people was not simple, and they had to be detoxified as soon as possible. Lu Ren and others took the detoxification pill, and a hint of hesitation flashed across their faces. They didn't know whether the detoxification pill was really effective, nor did they know whether there would be any side effects after taking it. However, they no longer had the opportunity to hesitate. They looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

Finally, they could only grit their teeth and swallow the detoxification pill. The detoxification pill melted in their mouths, and a cool feeling instantly spread throughout their bodies. They closed their eyes and began to sit on the ground to meditate and regulate their breathing. They knew that the most important thing now was to recover their physical strength as soon as possible so as to face the next challenge.

The others watched Lu Ren and Lu Yu take the antidote pills given by Luodan. On the one hand, they were worried whether the medicine was really as effective as Luodan said and could remove the poison from their bodies. On the other hand, they were wary of Luodan, fearing that he had ill intentions and had tampered with the medicine.

Someone in the crowd whispered, "Is this medicine really okay? What if..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the person next to him: "Don't talk nonsense, let's see the situation first. If Mr. Luo really has the intention to harm others, we will not sit idly by."

Everyone nodded, their eyes fixed on Lu Ren and Lu Yu, afraid of missing anything unusual.

Fortunately, after a while, the two looked much better. The dark blue on their faces faded away, replaced by a faint blush, and the blood color gradually returned to their faces, and their lips were no longer as pale and bloodless as before. More importantly, their eyes began to flash with a lively light, which was a sign of the recovery of spiritual energy.

Lu Yu suddenly shouted in surprise, her voice full of disbelief and joy: "Okay, I can use my spiritual energy! I can feel the spiritual energy in my body, it's so great!"

For practitioners like them, spiritual energy is as important as life. Losing spiritual energy is like losing strength and becoming fragile. Now that spiritual energy has finally been restored, how can they not be excited?
Hearing Lu Yu say this, the others were obviously relieved. They smiled at each other, their eyes flickering with joy of surviving a disaster. They all looked at Lu Ren again, and sure enough, he nodded, with a relieved smile on his face: "Me too, my spiritual energy has been restored."

At this time, Lu Ren turned to Luo Dan and said sincerely: "Mr. Luo, if possible, let's go down the mountain together. You are also my savior. After we leave, I hope you can come to my place as a guest so that I can repay your kindness."

Lu Yu seemed a little unhappy when she heard what her elder brother said. She stopped her elder brother with her eyes and whispered, "Brother, how can you invite him to be a guest so easily? We don't know him yet."

Lu Ren was slightly stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lu Yu, then at Luo Dan, and was a little hesitant. He knew Lu Yu's concerns, but Luo Dan had saved their lives after all, and he really didn't know how to refuse.

At this time, Luo Dan spoke up: "Miss Lu is right. After all, we are not very familiar with each other. However, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit you."

Hearing this, Lu Ren felt relieved. He looked at Luo Dan gratefully and nodded: "Well, Mr. Luo, you must come when you have the chance. We will definitely entertain you warmly."

Seeing this, everyone agreed. They knew that they were able to survive this time because of Luo Dan's life-saving grace. If they had the chance in the future, they would definitely repay him.

But Lu Ren had made up his mind. He just glared at his sister Lu Yu's objection, revealing a trace of unquestionable determination in his eyes. He knew very well that he was able to survive this time because of Luo Dan's life-saving grace. No matter what, he had to repay this kindness. Even if his sister was dissatisfied, he could not change his mind.

Afterwards, he still looked at Luo Dan with a smile, but there seemed to be something hidden under that smile. His eyes flickered, as if he was calculating something, and seemed to be hiding his true thoughts.

Luo Dan looked Lu Ren up and down, and suddenly realized something, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He saw through Lu Ren's mind and understood why he was so insistent on inviting him to be his guest. However, he did not expose him, but chose to go with the flow.

"Okay." Luo Dan readily agreed to Lu Ren's proposal. His voice was calm and firm, without any hesitation.

At this time, a young man who looked like a servant standing beside Luo Dan could not help but frown and asked in confusion, "Master, why? These people obviously have bad intentions, why do you want to go with them? They even took advantage of your misfortune before, have you forgotten what they did before?"

Luo Dan just smiled, and there was a hint of deep meaning in his smile. He looked at the servant, and then slowly said, "It is precisely because I haven't forgotten that I want to go with them. I want to see what they think. Those who dare to plot against me have not been born yet. If some people don't know the limits, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Luo Dan's eyes fell on Lu Ren again, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to the next journey. He knew that this trip was destined to be extraordinary, but he was also prepared to deal with everything.

When Lu Ren heard Luo Dan's words, he was shocked. He knew that Luo Dan was not someone who could be easily fooled. Since he had agreed to go with him, he must have his own plans. He secretly told himself that he must be careful and not offend Luo Dan, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Lu Yu looked at Luo Dan with a worried look on her face. She was filled with anxiety. She didn't know what Luo Dan was planning, nor did she know whether this trip would bring them more trouble. But she knew that she couldn't change her brother's decision, so she could only pray silently that everything would go well.

Xiaobai listened to the conversation between Luodan and Lu Ren, and seemed to understand something. A flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything. He just looked at Luodan quietly, then looked at Lu Ren and the others, shook his head, and sighed in his heart.

"Alas, why offend the master when there are so many people to offend. Now they will learn their lesson soon." (End of this chapter)
