Chapter 178: Battlefield: Lu Wi
Chapter 178: Battlefield: Lu Wi
The woman had sharp black eyebrows with long cyan-coloured hair, donned in war gear. Her curves were as flat as a plain in her armour, giving her a more masculine look. She emitted a killing aura that almost covered her whole being, resembling a fierce warrior.
If Lu Zhen couldn't see the Adam's apple on her neck, he might have doubted her gender.
Nevertheless, he nodded his head respectfully to the old man.
"Alright, Grand Elder."
"Damn, that bastard has already set up his direct descendant in Lu Zhen's place already," they muttered with anger upon seeing the cyan-coloured old man.
However, they felt a bit relieved because, despite the woman's beauty in a certain perspective, she appeared more masculine than feminine, with almost non-existent curves. They couldn't help but pity the old man, realising she wouldn't be able to seduce Lu Zhen at all.
"Sigh, my female descendants rarely come to the battlefield, and even if they want to, I can't allow flowers to shed blood and live a miserable life in this war..."
The man who had previously stopped the old man from being angry spoke, and the rest nodded, sharing similar sentiments.
However, the moment they arrived, they started to bootlick him, showing him pictures of the woman.
Lu Zhen revealed a friendly smile as he accepted all the gestures, addressing the girl.
"Show me my place."
"Yes, young master." She bowed, and they walked, with Lu Zhen following behind her, while Li Jiao also trailed behind him.
"What are you following me for?"
"Umm… young master…"
Lu Zhen amusingly looked at Li Jiao, deeply staring at her. Feeling his gaze almost drained her energy, she started to tremble like a scared cat.
"Follow me then."
"Umm, on second thought, young master, I have work to do as the captain of my squad. Can you…" She still remembered the terrifying moans she heard from before and was now scared of Lu Zhen.
"Alright, go," Lu Zhen nodded his head as his expression turned mysterious.
"Thank you, young master," Li Jiao said as she hurriedly left. After she left, a blush appeared on her face.
"Why am I acting like an innocent girl? Although he might be larger in that area, it shouldn't be so large that I couldn't take it, right? He can be my key to reaching the second-stage martial realm if he could help me," she sighed as her eyes glinted with determination.
Although when Lu Zhen had first come to ask her for information about the bandits, she had jokingly tried to seduce him just because she could.
After all, even if he was the young master of the Lu family, she still held deep disdain against him for not practising martial arts. Many other elders felt the same way; he was considered nothing without his mother, Lu Ying, previously.
However, witnessing Lu Zhen's recent feats, each time he was praised with no disdain, their previous contempt vanished like dust in the air. Lu Zhen killing a second-stage martial artist was the final blow, and she was determined to ride on the coattails of Lu Zhen to get stronger.
But for that, she needed something of value to him. What could be more valuable than her own virgin body? She had saved her virginity for exactly this time.
For her, as long as she could get stronger, it didn't matter if she lost her innocence.
Li Jiao left to do her assigned tasks, such as managing the people under her and others.
…
"Is this the place?" Lu Zhen looked to see a luxurious, humongous camp contrasting with all the other camps surrounding it.
"Yes, young master," the girl bowed, her expression tentative.
Seeing this, Lu Zhen chuckled as he asked, "What is your name?"
"My name is Lu Wi, young master."
"Very well, you can leave now."
"But…"
Lu Zhen deeply gazed at her, sending a shiver down her spine.
Lu Wi hurriedly nodded and left him.
"I'll have fun later, but I need to prepare for the war first," Lu Zhen muttered as he entered the camp, feeling his body coursing with power.
"My wood Qi is very close to being condensed." Even the one-hour timeframe that Lu Zhen spent with Xia Mei was enough to make a slight stir in his condensed Qi, progressing it by a small margin. Although the gap was still not enough for Lu Zhen to bridge it, he at least felt some improvement in his wood Qi after a long time.
"Looks like dual cultivation skill is the way to go if I want to improve my cultivation. Or I will have to face a long grind if I really want to make any progress with my talent, even with my other skills," he thought as countless thoughts swirled in his mind.
He summoned his system with a thought.

"This advancement will take a while," Lu Zhen thought bitterly as he opened his status.
