Chapter 177: Battlefield
"Young master, thank you for being patient. You can come in now."
Lu Zhen heard a click sound, signifying that the door was now open. He entered the room, which was simple and tidier, much like the last time he had visited, with minimal furnishings. However, his attention quickly shifted to Xia Mei, who was now wearing a nightdress, her face adorned with a blush as she licked her lips.
Lu Zhen's expression turned strange as he observed her.
"Young master, can I eat you?"
"This..." He was rendered speechless by the sight of Xia Mei's provocative figure beneath the nightdress. Without waiting for Lu Zhen to respond, she casually undressed and began to touch towards his crotch area.
He wasn't a herbivorous animal. If a beauty wanted to give herself to Lu Zhen, he would happily accept.
"Since you are playing with fire, I hope you won't get burned, girl," Lu Zhen said with a deep, devil-like voice, which made Xia Mei shiver down her spine. However, she nodded her head with a tinge of excitement.
The passionate moans of Lu Zhen and Xia Mei resounded in the room.
...
After an hour, Lu Zhen wore his dress with an irritated expression as he left the room.
"You have to go to war with the Xia family and destroy them."
Lu Zhen heard her voice, which made him pause in his steps as he nodded his head.
"It's time to fight," he thought to himself.
Lu Zhen went to the hall outside to see both the milf and Lily blushing in his sight, but he wasn't in the mood to flirt. They did it only for one hour, around three rounds, which wasn't nearly enough to satisfy both him and her; however, he had to stop.
"Commander, should we go now?" Li Jiao blushed as she looked at the hulking body of Lu Zhen with a quiver to his waist and a bow covered with bandages at the back.
She had heard the loud moans from the direction in which he came from, as the moans were enough to shake the entire mansion.
"Maybe I shouldn't try to seduce him..." Seeing the hulking body of Lu Zhen as the moans lasted for one hour continuously, with Lu Zhen even coming out irritated as if he wasn't satisfied yet, Li Jiao felt a chill down her back as she shivered thinking of this.
Lu Zhen internally smirked when he saw this, and his face remained expressionless. "Let's go," he said and left the room.
While the stunned Li Jiao followed, still lost in thought.
...
"What should we do about the river?"
"This is the most troublesome place to enter from."
"Have the other passes already been broken through?"
"Yes, they have, but after getting cornered, they will most likely make this pass their stronghold," an old man with cyan-coloured hair pointed at the symbol of a river as he frowned.
He wore the classical grand elder dress of the Lu family, with a verdant symbol embodied in his clothes.
Surrounding him were fifteen or so old men, all in similar dresses and contemplative expressions. However, a ruthless glint lingered in their eyes, although they appeared like average old men on the surface.
They heard a rustling sound, causing them to frown as they turned their attention to the entrance of the camp, which was as large as any luxurious room.
"Who dares?" The cyan-coloured man was about to make a move, but he was hastily stopped by another man.
"You should control your anger well, or it will be..."
"Humph, fine."
From the entrance, a servant hurriedly ran and immediately bowed without a glance.
"Young master has arrived."
The moment he said that, the room fell silent as the cyan-coloured man withdrew his hand.
A smile appeared on the cyan-coloured haired man, and his face changed colour faster than a chameleon. His expression shifted to a faintly friendly smile.
"Let me go and welcome the young master instead," he said as he stood up from his seat and left instantly.
Seeing this, the other old men had disdainful expressions. However, they also stood up with friendly smiles as they left too.
"Cunning old bastards..." the cyan-colored old man muttered as he ignored the rest of them, and his speed increased.
Soon, he saw a hulking youth with black hair and red crimson eyes. Although his dark robes were baggy enough to cover his body, it still faintly revealed his shredded physique with eight packs. He was followed by a mature lady with purple hair and curves in all the right places.
The old man's eyes instantly lit up as he went to the youth.
"Welcome, young master, to the command centre..."
Lu Zhen nodded his head as he also bowed.
"Thank you, Grand Elder."
The old man nodded his head with a satisfied expression when he saw Lu Zhen greet him. Although he was praising Lu Zhen but as a second-stage martial artist even he had to pay some respect to him.
"Young master, what are you saying? Your heroic deed of killing a second-stage martial artist has truly left me astounded, and your legend is being passed around..."
Lu Zhen's expression turned strange as he heard the man's bootlicking, and he frowned.
"This guy is a great bootlicker," he mused to himself. However, outwardly, he maintained a respectful expression on his face.
"Thank you, Grand Elder. I am undeserving of your praise. I just got lucky, that's all," Lu Zhen said, shaking his head.
"You are being too humble, young master. Your strength is as high as Mount Tai, and you will definitely surpass the realm of a first-stage martial artist in the future."
Lu Zhen sighed as he reluctantly accepted the praise.
"Young master, this is my daughter, who will be in your battalion as a captain."
Lu Zhen nodded his head as he looked at the woman in front of him.
