Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 67: Strange

Lu Zhen held a scroll in his hand as he gazed at the symbol below the photo of the handsome man who bore a striking resemblance to him.

The symbol's resonance with his bloodline was both strange and captivating. Slowly, his body began to revert to its normal state. The once-prominent horns on his head retracted seamlessly into his skull, leaving no trace of their existence. His thin tail, adorned with a heart-shaped tip, started to dissolve into his body, as if it had never been a part of him.

The eyes that had previously been a mesmerizing mix of golden and red transformed back to their original, striking crimson hue. Simultaneously, his bulging muscles slightly reduced in size, and his towering stature diminished to its original seven feet.

"How interesting," Xie Mie remarked, her tone filled with fascination but her eyes betraying a hint of mockery.

Seeing Xie Mei, Lu Zhen frowned slightly.

"Did you know who I am?" he asked, his expression showing confusion.

"No, I didn't, but after we did it multiple times, I could discern you from your voice, and your facial features hadn't changed much, so I could tell," Xie Mei replied with lustful eyes and a lick of her lips.

"Oh, is that it, huh?" Lu Zhen mumbled, thinking, "This girl has become lustful in just moments."

"Watch this," she said, closing her eyes and making a mocking gesture.

Xie Mei's slender, long ears reverted back to normal, her hair returned to its original color, her increased height normalized, and her breasts and bust size returned from H-cup to a smaller size, which left Lu Zhen slightly regretful.

She transformed into her ordinary body, leaving Lu Zhen wide-eyed with shock.

"This..." Lu Zhen stared speechless at Xie Mei as he lost his cool for a moment.

"How did you do it?" Lu Zhen said as he stared at Xie Mei with a peculiar glint in his eyes as he regained his calm in a blink of an eye.

Hearing this, mei felt a little ominous.

"I could freely transform into this form since my childhood." She said as she puffed her chest, proud of hers held for beating Lu Zhen.

"It's just that the feeling of my blood boiling as I wanted to mate was my first." Xie Mei said as she stared at Lu Zhen.

"Oh, that is it, huh?" Lu Zhen said as he suddenly thought of something.

"So you don't have any scrolls like this." Lu Zhen said as he pointed at his scroll given to him by his mother.

"No." Xie Mei replied, a little confused by Lu Zhen.

"Then where did you get your unique ability from?" Lu Zhen's eyes widened when he thought of that.

"Oh, I have had it since the age of 12." Xie Mei said as she looked at Lu Zhen like an idiot.

"This…" Lu Zhen just stared at Xie Mei; however, his little brother stood up again just from looking at her.

"This girl is a freaking seductress," Lu Zhen thought as he hurriedly went to get a pair of dresses from his closet, ignoring Xie Mei.

As he changed his dress, Xie Mei just stood quietly staring at him with a drool on her face.

Seeing Xie Mei just staring at his body as he changed his clothes, Lu Zhen felt a little taken advantage of.

"I will get back at her." He thought to himself as he finished changing his clothes into his classy black robe.

It wasn't that Lu Zhen didn't want to change his clothes to something new, even though he liked the attire. However, that didn't mean he wanted to wear it every day; it was because all the clothes he had were black with his classical attire and nothing else.

Thinking of these, Lu Zhen just sighed.

"So what now?" Xie Mei said, as she now had a confused expression on her face as Lu Zhen had finished changing his clothes.

"Ahem, I will be very clear with you, even though I forced myself on you. You still joined me to do it later." Lu Zhen paused as he glanced at her.

Xie Mei had a peculiar expression, as she seemed to be having a mixture of expressions.

Seeing the mixture of emotions in Xie Mei, Lu Zhen quickly changed the topic, as it was better to change the topic for now.

"You still have to stay here." Lu Zhen said as he stared at Xie Mei with an expressionless face.

"You…" Xie Mei stared at Lu Zhen as her eyes turned to pure hatred.

However, Lu Zhen continued.

"Don't worry, I will provide you with all the resources you need and give you all the freedom you want." Lu Zhen said, which made Xie Mei nod in agreement.

"How long?" Xie Mei asked, her expression softening slightly.

"And you still want to know about your origin, right?" Lu Zhen said, a sly smirk appearing on his face as he ignored her question.

Hearing this, Mei became desperate and nodded enthusiastically.

"Then you will have to stay here with me until I become a first-stage martial artist," Lu Zhen declared, maintaining a poker face as he looked at her.

Xie Mei regarded Lu Zhen with a cold stare when he mentioned "first-stage martial artist."

"And when will that be?" She inquired, her expression taking on a questioning tone.

"I can guarantee it will be within a year," Lu Zhen replied confidently, causing Xie Mei's eyes to widen.

However, upon hearing the seemingly short timeframe, she laughed.

"Are you joking with me?" Xie Mei locked eyes with Lu Zhen.

"How about you see it for yourself?" Lu Zhen retorted, then promptly walked to the exit of his room without waiting for her response.

Before he left, he paused for a moment.

"Remember, from now on, you are my woman, and wherever you go, you will always be mine," Lu Zhen stated with a domineering tone, turning towards Xie Mei, who wore a contemplative expression.

"And about Huang Li, give her some food; she must not have eaten anything. You two should get some food as well. Ask Little Lily, my maid, for it," Lu Zhen instructed, then added, "You will face consequences if you try anything funny."

Lu Zhen released his aura fully, causing Xie Mei to sweat and tremble as his gaze turned icy.

"I will mostly be in my training room for a week," he informed her before leaving.
