Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 188: Attacking the Impenetrable Fortress

Due to the tightness of her usual attire, Lu Wi's bust was barely visible, creating a flatter appearance. However, now in a well-fitted dress, her figure showcased a big and round posterior, and her bust was slightly larger than Li Jiao's, triggering a hint of jealousy.

Her legs were supple and long, harmonising perfectly with her body. Despite having an ordinary face with average features, the use of makeup enhanced her overall appearance. Still, compared to Li Jiao, her beauty seemed to fall short, bringing a sense of relief to Li Jiao.

"God is fair; if they give you a great body, they don't give you enough beauty," Li Jiao thought, sighing inwardly.

"Alright," Lu Wi nodded, but her strange expression revealed her discomfort under Li Jiao's prolonged scrutiny.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Lu Wi questioned.

"Nothing," Lu Jiao responded, hiding her true thoughts. Lu Wi, sensing the strange atmosphere, decided to ignore it and walked confidently to the front of the camp, excited by the murmurs she overheard.

"She will undoubtedly be a formidable competitor," Li Jiao thought, a sudden regret surging within her. She questioned her decision to offer advice and apply makeup to enhance Lu Wi's beauty, realizing that she might have inadvertently created a rival.

Maintaining the same pace as Lu Wi, Li Jiao gracefully walked to the front of the camp, trying to conceal the unease bubbling within her.

Observing the two women, the bald man reached the camp's entrance, his eyes widening in realization. "Why are these two women in such a hurry?"

"Well, you know, the young master is still so young…" the blue-haired captain remarked, a tinge of jealousy evident in his tone. After all, witnessing two top-tier women, each possessing both strength and beauty, vying for the attention of a man could spark envy in any male.

The bald man's expression shifted, understanding dawning on him. "Women," he uttered with a sigh.

"Hahaha, as if you wouldn't do the same if you were a woman."

"Cough cough, that is another case," the bald man admitted, chuckling.

The blue-haired captain smirked, snickering before returning his attention to the unfolding scenario. However, his expression suddenly shifted as he looked back and noticed the Golden-haired captain dressed provocatively, accentuating her curves with seductive allure.

His expression became peculiar as he observed this.

"You too, Lu Nan," the blue-haired man shook his head with a sigh.

The bald man's attention was also captivated by the golden-haired woman, and he too shook his head with a sigh.

"What do you mean, 'you too'?" Lu Nan questioned, tightening her fist.

"Nothing," the blue-haired man simply replied, his gaze shifting upward.

Lu Nan was about to retort, but before she could, the bald man interjected, "Look, the young master is nearing."

With that statement, the two men sprinted past the gate, leaving a bewildered Lu Nan.

"Huh," she thought, her brain taking a moment to register the situation. Gritting her teeth, Lu Nan followed the two men.

"We greet the young master," the five captains bowed simultaneously upon seeing Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen nodded his head as he surveyed the surroundings. A visibly stunned expression crossed his face when he laid eyes on Lu Wi, but it quickly returned to normal as he glanced at everyone.

"Are the boats ready?"

"Yes, young master," Li Jiao responded with a seductive smile on her face.

Lu Zhen nodded when he heard this. "Good."

He turned his gaze to the soldiers gathered behind them, reverence evident in their eyes.

"Are you ready to shed blood?" Lu Zhen's loud voice echoed throughout the area.

"Yes, young master," the soldiers responded in unison, prompting a nod from Lu Zhen.

"Carry these boats, and let's go to the river," Lu Zhen instructed with a stern tone.

"Yes, young master."

The soldiers swiftly moved to carry the simple, constructed boats, admiration gleaming in their eyes.

"Young master is a true genius to have figured out these boat things."

"That was quite common. How come we have not figured it out?"

"That's why we couldn't figure it out, idiot."

"True." The soldiers exchanged smiles with a hint of bitterness as they proceeded with their work.

"What are you doing, dressing up like this, Lu Wi?" Lu Zhen questioned as he looked at her.

"Eh… I…. I just wanted to change my clothes for some time," Lu Wi replied with an expressionless face.

"Is it?" he had an amused smile on his face when he heard this.

"Ye… yes."

"All right then," Lu Zhen nodded as he walked toward the soldiers.

"He seems to have become more handsome; is my eyes playing tricks on me?" Lu Wi thought as she watched Lu Zhen leave.

"Young Master Lu Zhen does seem to have become more handsome," suddenly, she heard a feminine voice from behind, causing her expression to turn strange as she looked back at Li Jiao.

"Stunned that I was able to tell your thoughts?" Li Jiao said with a smirk on her face.

Lu Wi's expression turned impassive as she nodded.

"It's because Lu Zhen has become more handsome, and his skin seems to have almost become baby-like…" Li Jiao muttered in a hushed tone, looking at Lu Zhen with a strange expression.

"Damn it," Lu Nan, the golden-haired captain, gritted her teeth when she couldn't gain Lu Zhen's attention, feeling a surge of anger.

She shot a venomous glance at Li Jiao before her expression turned cold.

Lu Nan completely ignored Li Wi because her status was significantly higher, and even her strength faintly surpassed hers.

Though she hated to admit it, Li Jiao was a different case. Being an external elder, she held a slightly lower status than a direct descendant elder, and even her strength was inferior.

Li Jiao noticed the coldness in Lu Nan's gaze but remained composed, returning the glance with a knowing smile.

"This bitch…" Lu Nan thought as she had a thoughtful expression on her face "I will deal with her later."
