Chapter 183: Lu Wi
All the five captains' eyes widened, almost like an enlightenment, the more they heard him. Finally, when he completely explained everything, they revealed a bitter expression.
As people with high status, every captain was naturally educated when young, so they quickly understood the concept of it. Actually, it was nothing new and could be said to be simple as well.
But they never thought of using it because they didn't need it most of the time.
"Alright, so the construction of all these should be done within an hour or so. Is that clear?" Lu Zhen said as he sighed. Although he was a computer programmer in his previous life, these basic things were still things he knew, just as general knowledge Lu Zhen gained living in modern society.
"I am sure if it was the mage era, their technology was more advanced than my world, and my tricks wouldn't work. I might look like a caveman compared to them," he mused to himself.
"Yes, young master," Li Jiao respectfully said as she took the sketch from Lu Zhen. Although she wasn't the best at combat, she was very skilled in this kind of work. That was also the reason she was able to manage the brothels so easily.
"I have troubled you, Elder Jiao," Lu Zhen said with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Oh, it's my pleasure to do things for the young master," Li Jiao also smiled seductively when she heard this, nodding her head.
Lu Zhen nodded his head as he left the camp.
"Eh, young master, where are you going?" Lu Wi, who was silently watching the interaction between Li Jiao and Lu Zhen, was stunned when she saw him leaving without even taking a glance at them.
"Not your business," he simply stated as he left without looking back.
"I will be back in midnight," his voice reverberated as his figure vanished in plain sight.
"Sigh, young master's martial prowess has truly reached a terrifying height," the bald man said as he sighed before he left to control the soldiers under him.
The blue-haired man also nodded as he too departed, while the blonde woman gritted her teeth at Li Jiao venomously as she left. Li Jiao internally smirked when she saw this and left as well.
"Elder Jiao, can you please wait?"
Suddenly, Li Jiao was startled by the voice as she paused.
"What can this humble woman offer to madam?"
"You don't need to be formal, why are you joking with me?" Lu Wi was stunned when she heard Li Jiao address her. Although she was the direct descendant of the family, Li Jiao was also an elder, so technically, their status was equal.
"This girl looks fierce but is, after all, a naive youth," Li Jiao thought to herself as she smirked evilly.
"So, what can I help you with, lady?"
"I need help to attract Lu Zhen…" Lu Wi said as a small blush formed on her face. However, her expression remained straight.
"Oh, this was the case," she thought internally.
"My lady, you need to appear more womanly rather than manly."
"How do I look more ladylike?" Although she was the daughter of the grand elder, and even her childhood was spent in war, she considered her gender a burden. She already thought of herself as a man due to the harshness of the wars in the past. Her mentality was straightforward, shaped by growing up in war.
She frowned even more when she heard "womanly," as she considered it burdensome and useless in war.
"What's the use of that?" she said with a frown.
"Well, to seduce young Master Lu Zhen, this is the first step to take. Will the young lady do it or not?"
"I… I…" Lu Wi gritted her teeth as she tightened her fist.
"Yes, I will do it."
Li Jiao smiled when she heard this.
"But how will I do it? I don't know how to be ladylike."
"Don't worry; I will teach you, milady."
Suddenly, Lu Wi felt a shiver down her back.
She instantly regretted her decision.
…..
While the setting sun dimly lit the forest, a shadow rapidly traveled at a terrifying speed.
Swish! Swish!
Lu Zhen reached the so-called Devil River as he arrived.
"Gigantic," he couldn't help but say, seeing the sheer size of the river.
His gaze pierced deep into the ocean, as even his five senses couldn't perceive the river as a whole, and he wasn't bold enough to use his sixth sense, "mental energy," here.
After all, who knows what terrifying beast was hidden in the river, and he wasn't interested in facing those beasts for no reason.
He would do what he came here for and leave silently.
"Let's do it." Lu Zhen stretched his body as he took out his clothes and used the Shadow Veil technique with his aura control, making him almost invisible, blending into the surroundings.
Although he doubted the terrifying aquatic beasts here would not find him with just these petty tricks if they really wanted to.
"But it's still better to be safe than sorry," he thought. After all, he could avoid unnecessary fights with the weaker Aquatic beast if he took this precaution.
Lu Zhen slowly entered the river, silently swimming. He was well-prepared, having learned a trick specifically for this occasion.
He swam through the water without creating a single ripple in the water, swimming deeper and deeper as silently as possible.
The deeper Lu Zhen went, the more pressure he felt.
Cough! Cough!
Lu Zhen vomited blood as his internal organs were injured. However, since he was in the water, the blood quickly mixed with the surroundings and was washed away by the water.
