My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 90 - 089 Human-shaped Summoned Beast

On the journey home from the train station, Lu Haikong seemed unable to recover from the "surprise" of his son’s sudden success.

Sitting in the car, he barely spoke the whole way, his head turned towards the outside, deep in thought.

He seemed to be murmuring something to himself.

But his voice was so soft that Lu Wu couldn’t hear it; however, Little Skeleton, who was seated next to him, had better hearing and caught snippets of it.

Phrases like "I’ve not wronged anyone in Jiangnan, right?" "There shouldn’t be a problem, it shouldn’t be discovered," and "If it really comes to it, I’ll just cut ties with that ungrateful son, take my wife and Ni Ni, and run away" echoed faintly.

Little Skeleton listened for a bit but didn’t understand, so he just continued to lower his head and play with his phone.

But it was Little Skeleton playing with his phone that caught the attention of Lu Haikong next to him.

After sizing up Little Skeleton for a bit, he reached out and touched a part of Little Skeleton’s framework.

Little Skeleton was caught off guard and a bit unhappy about the sudden touch.

He didn’t like being touched by anyone other than Lu Wu, and he wanted to tell Lu Wu that someone had touched his Little Skeleton!

But when Little Skeleton’s Pupil Fire met Lu Haikong’s gaze, he suddenly felt that being touched wasn’t such a big deal; after all, this person seemed to be Lu Wu’s own Lu Wu.

So, Little Skeleton lowered its head and continued to look at the phone from the heart.

Lu Haikong, however, didn’t make any more moves; after touching Little Skeleton’s frame and stroking Little Skeleton’s head, he withdrew his hand.

And whether it was because he figured something out or because he had stroked Little Skeleton, Lu Haikong’s mood gradually improved afterwards.

By the time they arrived home, Lu Haikong had completely reverted to his usual self.

But whether it was Lu Wu’s misconception remained unknown.

He always felt that his old man was picking on him more and more.

Bossing him around, nitpicking everything—from his work attire to his breathing rhythm, Lu Haikong found faults with Lu Wu at every turn.

Lu Wu was so hassled that he began to wonder if he had somehow angered his dad.

But after a second thought, it seemed not?

Upon his own reasoning, Lu Wu figured it might be because he had suddenly achieved something, shaking the foundation of his once nondescript dad, the family pillar.

Plus, his dad probably wasn’t great at expressing feelings, which could have led to this situation.

As a result, Lu Wu became even more considerate towards his old man.

This left Lu Haikong particularly frustrated, wanting to find an opportunity to beat up the kid to vent but finding no chances.

Over at Li Ruyu’s end.

Because both her son and husband returned, she was in a great mood, bustling with Dudu in the kitchen and quickly conjuring up a lavish meal.

"Oh, right, Dad, here, take this!"

During the meal, Lu Wu suddenly remembered something and took out a bank card to hand over to Lu Haikong.

"What’s this? You’re starting to contribute to the household expenses?"

"No, I borrowed over ten thousand from you before, didn’t I? Here’s your money back, there’s fifty thousand on this card."

Upon hearing this, Lu Haikong was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy.

Due to certain reasons, the money he could spend at home was limited; he was truly strapped for cash, so having Lu Wu give him fifty thousand was indeed a pleasant surprise.

As soon as he got his hands on the bank card, Lu Haikong began to treasure his son greatly.

But before the card even warmed up in his hand, a coughing sound came from the side, and Lu Haikong’s expression stiffened. His first reaction was to turn around and hand the card to Li Ruyu.

Well, it looked like he was going to be eating humble pie again for the next month or two.

"Wife, you better hold onto this money for me."

Li Ruyu took the bank card from Lu Haikong, turned her head to look at Dudu as she said to Lu Wu: "I’ll save this money for you, for when you get married!"

Dudu was too embarrassed to speak and kept his head down, eating furiously!

Lu Wu looked at Dudu devouring food and not only didn’t stop her, he kept piling more meat onto her plate.

Yeah, the more she eats, the quicker she’ll slim down!

Lu Haikong, sitting beside them, watched this scene with a sneer.

Tch, what a jerk!

......

Meanwhile, as Lu Wu’s family of five was happily enjoying their meal, the middle-aged man who had been following them was preparing to make a move.

"It’s about time to act. Even though the Professional Center probably hasn’t noticed anything, we shouldn’t drag this out too long to avoid complications."

"Now that their whole family is at home, one of them is a useless man without a Summoned Beast.

A three-year-old child and a housewife pose no threat.

The remaining two are just Summoners who are still wet behind the ears, taking them down quietly will be a piece of cake!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man called out his Summoned Beast.

It was a Ghost Type Summoned Beast.

Enshrouded in black smoke, its power was unclear, but it looked pretty intimidating.

"Using a Leader 3 stars Summoned Beast against such a group might be overkill.

But to die at the hands of a Summoned Beast of this level, you can die without regrets!"

With that, the middle-aged man waved his hand, issuing an order to his Summoned Beast.

"Go in and kill everyone inside, and bring me back the corpse of that Little Skeleton!"

At his command, the situation seemed all but resolved in the middle-aged man’s eyes; all he needed to do now was wait for a matter of seconds to a minute.

However, the situation diverged from what the middle-aged man had anticipated. He had given the order, but his Summoned Beast hadn’t moved.

It stood there like a piece of wood, motionless!

The middle-aged man first froze, then panicked, breaking out in cold sweat immediately.

Although he didn’t know what was happening, something had definitely gone wrong.

But just as he realized this, before he could react, the sound of footsteps reached him.

The middle-aged man looked up and saw a girl in a white palace dress, holding an ice-blue longsword, walking towards them with a celestial aura.

"Who... who are you?"

At first glance, the middle-aged man really thought the girl was human.

But at the same time, his Summoned Beast kept sending him urgent signals of danger through their soul bond, making him aware that the girl in front of him was not a human at all, but rather a Human-shaped Summoned Beast.

And she was definitely a Lord level or even higher existence.

"How can this be..."

He couldn’t finish his sentence when a beam of moonlight shone over and the middle-aged man lost consciousness immediately...

......

On the other hand, over at Dudu’s.

After having dinner at Lu Wu’s house, her father had called her back home.

He was guarding against Lu Wu more than a thief, making sure to bring his daughter home by 9 PM every night, fearing his "cabbage" might get picked by a "pig."

His worries were purely excessive; Lu Wu wouldn’t possibly make a move at this time, as he was waiting for Dudu to drastically slim down.

Yeah, according to Lu Wu’s estimate, Dudu’s Bonds Skill cooldown should be nearly over, and her energy accumulation nearly complete – she should be able to slim down in the next few days.

Thinking of Dudu slimmed down to her stunning beauty, Lu Wu couldn’t help but let out a silly chuckle.

What Lu Wu chuckling to himself didn’t notice was that someone was looking at his smiling face and curling their lip...
