Chapter 102 - The Calamity of Women
Just as he was about to leap up, he noticed that several vines had instantly wrapped around his feet. In an instant, the vines around him also arrived, and he was enveloped within the vines like a silkworm"s chrysalis.Both of Lu Wushuang"s legs pushed off the ground, and she instantly leaped forward. The instant the tree vines wrapped around Wei Song, a palm imprint descended with a violent force.
"Bang …"
The entire wooden cane ball instantly flew away from the stone platform, finally landing outside the stone platform that was several hundred meters away.
Immediately after, the tree vines exploded. The force of the explosion dispersed and cracks appeared on the ground. Wei Song had already broken out of the tree vines, but he had already been defeated after leaving the stone platform.
In terms of strength, if they were to fight to the death, Lu Wushuang would not be able to do anything to Wei Song.
However, just now, Lu Wushuang had relied on the strangeness of the wood element martial artists to defeat Wei Song. Even if she lost after falling out of the range of the stone platform, it could be said to be a bit tricky.
Wei Song"s face was deathly pale, and his eyes were lifeless. He hadn"t thought that he would be defeated.Silence reigned around them. A wave of dizziness washed over everyone. Lu Wushuang had truly won.
"Lu Wushuang, become a direct disciple of the Cloudy Sun Sect." Only after being announced by an elder of the Cloudy Sun Sect did quite a few people regain their senses.
"Shaoyu, if you were here, you would certainly become a direct disciple. When that time comes, we would be able to see each other more often. But, are you still alive or not …"Now that he had become a direct disciple, Lu Wushuang did not have much of a smile on his face. Instead, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
In the vast forest range, under the setting sun, the pale yellow sunlight penetrated through the trees. Under the reflection of the sunlight, the branches left shadows of fangs and claws in the forest.
The night wind was blowing, and from the depths of the forest came a whistling sound. Occasionally, a few unknown beast roars could be heard.
"It"s getting dark, let"s hurry up and go. There"s a pointed store in front of us, we don"t need to sleep in the woods tonight."
In the past few days, the two of them had pa.s.sed through many mountains and encountered quite a few dangers along the way. They had run into quite a few demonic beasts, but fortunately, they were all low-level demonic beasts and had not encountered any third-level demonic beasts.
In the past few days, Lu Shaoyu had also learned from Lan Ling that although the Fiery Blaze Demon Hawk was a Rank 3 Demonic Beast, it was only an initial Rank 3 Demonic Beast.Controlling a Rank 3 Demonic Beast required a large amount of blood. Lan Ling"s current strength was unbearable, and a single consumption was enough.
Blood was something much more important than true energy. Whether it was a martial artist or a spirit, the cultivation of true energy and spirit energy would eventually turn into blood within the body.
The source of blood was the forging of true energy or spirit energy. Blood was the foundation of a person.
"Is there anyone else who runs a store here?" This is a dangerous place. " Lu Shaotian was a bit curious.
"Of course, there are quite a few small shops in front of us. In the Misty Capital Mountain Range, there are deep mountains and forests everywhere, and there are places to settle down in, which is what everyone hopes for." Of course, there are quite a few small restaurants in front of us, and in the Misty Capital Mountain Range, there are deep mountains and forests, and places to settle down in, which is what everyone hopes to do. Lan Ling said.
As he spoke, he went over two hills and the sky gradually turned dark.In front of them, there was a flat valley. The big trees of the valley had probably been cut down and had been covered with wooden buildings.
There were many bonfires on the ground, and the inside and outside of the wooden building were also brightly lit. There were shadows of people walking here and there, mixed with the sounds of punching and shouting, it was extremely lively.
"There really is such a deep mountain village."
Lu Shao You looked around the valley. There were quite a few buildings, densely packed to the point that there were twenty wooden buildings. Each of them had three to four floors, making the entire valley extremely s.p.a.cious."Let"s go in. There are both dragons and snakes mixed in here. Although no one will intentionally cause trouble here, it"s inevitable that someone will get drunk. Be careful." Lan Ling said.
"You should be careful of yourself. With your appearance, you should be careful of those mercenaries eating you up."
Most of the places they were staying were mercenaries. Most of them were men, and they had been in the mountains for more than a month. It would be strange if they didn"t bleed from their noses when they saw Lan Ling like this.
"Don"t tell me that you don"t intend to protect me? Don"t all men like heroes to save beauties?" Lan Ling stared at Lu Shaoyu with a crafty look in her eyes.
"Beautiful women are popular in all the places I used to live to save heroes. Besides, your strength is above mine, so it"s not my turn to save you."
After Lu Shaoyu finished speaking, he walked forward. It would be better to stay far away from this woman. Perhaps this might cause some trouble for her.
"Beauty save the hero, what kind of place is this?" Lan Ling was stunned.In front of the valley, there was a small path, and the two of them walked into it.
"Two little bees, fly to the flowers, fly, fly. You lost. Drink.""This big brother, do you want to stay here? We are cheap and clean."
"The young lady who just arrived, a new dish, some fresh ones are here. The price is not expensive, five gold coins."
… ….
It was very noisy everywhere. In the empty valley, many of the mercenary groups and small teams that didn"t have much income could only drink after buying a few bottles of food in the valley.One must know that staying in a shop for the night was not cheap. Compared to the outside world, this mountain range was naturally much more expensive.
However, the loud shouts from earlier immediately quieted down upon the arrival of Lu Shaoyu and Lan Ling.
Everyone stared blankly at the two of them. Of course, Lu Shaoyu didn"t have such charm.
Many pairs of heated eyes swept over Lan Ling. It was practically a crime to have such a woman in the depths of the mountain.
"Girl, come here and drink with me for a bit.
"This is really not bad. Having to work once for less than ten years is worth it."
After the silence, the valley instantly became more lively. The obscene laughter filled the valley, causing Lan Ling"s expression to darken.As for all of this, Lu Shaoyu wasn"t surprised.
Such a woman, and how could she be so well-dressed? How could any man endure coming to this deep mountain?
"Girl, drink with me. In the future, follow me and I"ll let you have some fun."
A burly man dressed in black robes stood up shakily. It was obvious that he had drank too much with a single look. His eyes revealed an unsightly expression as he stood in front of Lu Shaoyu and Lan Ling."Get out of my way." Lan Ling disdainfully said.
"This girl is really spicy, I like her."The black-clothed man laughed out loud, extending his hand towards Lu Shao You and said: "Brat, your grandpa"s path has been blocked."
"You"re blocking my way."
Lu Shaoyu glanced at the drunkard and pulled on his leg. Borrowing the Taiji Fist technique from his previous life, he used his toes to block the front of the drunkard"s foot. With a pull of his hand, the drunk man quickly fell to the ground.
"Good boy, you dare to touch your grandfather?"The drunkard raised his head and smacked his nose against the ground. It was so painful that it was red. Blood slowly dripped from his nose, and he quickly stood up as more than half of the alcohol was drunk.
"Black panther, kill that kid and we"ll support you."
Seeing that there was a commotion, the group of mercenaries immediately started to cheer. Where they were, there would never be a lack of people watching the commotion.
There was quite a commotion. Many people from the entire valley had gathered here, but most of them did not bother to hide their gazes as they looked at Lan Ling.
"Brat, I will teach you a lesson and let you know that I, Black Panther, am not someone to be trifled with."
When the black-clothed man saw that someone was jeering, he didn"t want to lose face. He immediately raised his fist and punched towards Lu Shaowu, carrying the smell of alcohol with him.
"You dare call yourself a black panther? At most, you"re just a drunk cat."
Lu Shao You shouted lightly. He had already a.s.sessed the strength of this group of people and could only sit outside to drink. He could not imagine how strong they were. The strongest warriors outside the valley were only at the fourth or fifth stage, and most of them were just Martial Disciples.
With this kind of strength, Lu Shaoyu naturally wouldn"t put it in his eyes.
Lu Shaoyu didn"t want to cause trouble, nor did he want to cause trouble for Lan Ling.
It was just that this man had angered her just now. Against these mercenaries, who were all living on the edge of their blades, they were all ruthless and fearless. The only way to deal with them was to be ruthless.
If you were more ruthless than him, he would be scared.
Even if there were opponents with a strength slightly stronger than you, when they saw you be fiercer than them, they would still not dare to easily offend you.Lu Shaoyou had known this in his previous life.
This kind of person who didn"t care about his life was the scariest. Normally, no one would dare to provoke him.
At this moment, this burly man"s fist was coming at him. Lu Shaowu"s face darkened. This burly man was just an Earth elemental warrior of the First Stage. Naturally, he could easily deal with him.His palm suddenly pushed out as true energy surged. The smooth sleeves of Lu Shaowu"s green robe let out a "hua hua hua" sound from the violent force. In a split-second, he struck out with his palm.
Within a short distance, the formidable strength of the palm print emitted a sharp sound of wind breaking as it collided with the black-armored man"s fist.
Hearing the sharp sound of the wind breaking, the drunkard"s face was filled with shock. He was now completely sober.
He had originally thought that this immature brat was easy to bully. Only now did he realize that the other party was actually a powerful expert.
"Bam!" An explosive sound slowly reverberated in the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
In the center of the palm punch"s contact, the force suddenly dissipated. The big man"s body instantly staggered backwards and fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood. The fierce force that was released caused the ground to crack.The surrounding people were immediately shocked. No one had expected that this youth was so powerful. That black panther was at least a First Layer Warrior.
"Brat, how dare you!"
A dozen similarly dressed men in black clothing stood out. From the looks of it, they were all in the same team.
"Scram, or die."Lan Ling"s expression darkened. The true energy around her began to tremble as a powerful aura of a Martial Master emanated from her body and enveloped the surrounding area.
"This woman is actually a Martial Master. I can"t afford to offend her."
This man and woman really weren"t people to be trifled with. There might even be people coming from the back, so many of them retreated. However, their eyes were still focused on Lan Ling"s provocative outfit.The ten black-uniformed men looked at Lu Shaoyu and Lan Ling with shocked expressions. They didn"t dare to block their way, and quickly retreated.
At this moment, Lu Shaowu"s expression turned cold. After looking at his surroundings, he walked over to the large man who had yet to get up. With true energy infused in his body, he stomped down and said, "If you dare to provoke me again, I"ll cripple you."
"Puchi …"
With these two stomps, the man once again spat out a mouthful of blood. He nodded his head in fear. How could he dare to say more?
The surrounding people were also startled. They had originally thought that it was just a wet behind the ears youngster, but who would have thought that it was actually a little fiend? He didn"t show the slightest bit of mercy and secretly rejoiced that he wasn"t the one who went up to provoke this little fiend.
"Do you have any more rooms?"
After intimidating the mercenaries, Young Master Lu walked over to the nearest wooden building and asked the waiter who was busy with business."Yes, yes, there"s still the last room. It costs 10 gold coins a night."
That youth recovered from his shock. He had also been surprised by Lu Shaoyu just now.
"I"ll take it. Send me some more delicious food to my room. I"ll reward you with the rest."
Lu Shaowu took out 20 gold coins and handed it over to the waiter. In his heart, he thought, "This place is really expensive."
A servant of the Lu family would only be paid half a gold coin a year.
"Yes, my lord. Please follow me."Eating a meal here would not cost more than 10 gold coins. Even if it was the best meal, it would only cost 6 or 7 gold coins. He could still get 3 or 4 gold coins from the bounty.
"Give me a room and some food." Lan Ling said."Miss, there are no rooms left. Aren"t you two together?" The waiter asked in confusion. He had clearly seen the two of them together.
"I don"t have a room, how can this be. Make room for me." Lan Ling was surprised and took out 20 gold coins."Miss, we don"t have many rooms here, and we don"t have many rooms in other places. I"m sorry, we have a lot of people here recently."
The waiter said. Recently, along with many mercenaries and teams, they had entered a completely full room.
"Forget it."Lan Ling stared at the waiter and then looked helplessly at Lu Shaoyu. He could only stay in the same room.
"Lord, please follow me."
The waiter brought Lu Shaoyou to a room on the third floor. Lan Ling had no choice but to follow behind Lu Wushuang.
The mercenaries outside watched as the man and woman entered the wooden building, and could only envious of the green-robed youth.
And then, the valley continued to be filled with noise and excitement.Lu Shao You followed the waiter into a room. This building was completely made of wood and only used a few stone bricks, but it looked quite st.u.r.dy. The room was quite s.p.a.cious and was probably divided by stone bricks.
"Master, I"ll bring you some food right now. Please wait for a moment." The waiter left.
"You were quite vicious just now. Didn"t you say that you wouldn"t be a hero saving the beauty?" Lan Ling said with a faint smile.
"Do you think I only attacked because of you?" Lu Shao You looked at Lan Ling indifferently, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me two hundred gold coins.""Why?" Lan Ling asked doubtfully.
"This room is mine, you have three choices. First, stay in this room tonight, and second, go outside to the valley and sleep with the mercenaries. Third, you don"t have to give me any gold coins, but for a man and a woman, I can"t guarantee that I won"t do anything to you." Lu Shaoyu said rudely."What? You only have twenty gold coins, you want me to pay two hundred?" Lan Ling was surprised.
"You have two other choices."
This direct disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect was definitely not a poor person. He should take advantage of this opportunity, as he wouldn"t have this opportunity in the future.
"You …"Lan Ling glared at Lu Shaoyu. She wasn"t willing to give up the other two options. She took out 200 gold coins and huffily said, "You"re a man, why don"t you take it?"
"Didn"t you like calling me brother? How are you a man now? Besides, I"m not close with you. I don"t have any other intentions towards you, so what"s there to be embarra.s.sed about?" Without any hesitation, Lu Shaoyu kept the two hundred gold coins into his s.p.a.ce Bag."You …"
Lan Ling was once again speechless. In the sect, all of the male disciples had gathered around her and treated her like a treasure.
As long as she asked for it, everything would be fine. She had never met someone like Lu Shaoyu who was so impolite to her.
Then, Lan Ling withdrew her smile. With a charming look in her eyes, she said, "I regret. Give me the gold coins and I"ll choose the third choice. If you dare to do anything, what will you do then?""Never mind, I"m not interested."
In his heart, he thought to himself, a man and a woman alone is not that useless. In front of such a woman, it would be a lie to not be tempted.
However, this woman was a poisonous one. It was better to stay away from her. Lives were more important.
"Really? You"re not abnormal, right? I heard that all men are good …"
Lan Ling whispered into Lu Shaoyu"s ear. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose. Lu Shaowu cursed her in his heart. How could he endure such a woman when he was full of vigor?
"Sir, the food is here."
Outside the door, the waiter"s voice said. Lu Shao You took the opportunity to open the door and saw that the waiter had brought a lot of food. It was enough for the two of them.
