A future threat?

The Awakening ceremony soon ended. Liang Lu and the others who could join the soul toad sect were given a token and instructions to go 2 days later to the first class of the academy.

While they waited they could sleep in the dormitories for free by showing the token to the guards and eat for free in the dining hall by once again showing the token to the workers.

Liang Lu rubbed the token with his hands as he remembered the results of the awakening ceremony from a group of 300 applicants only 50 had cultivation talent from those there was him with his extreme physique, 2 A-grade talents Yi Fang and Wang Mei, and 3 B-grade talents all men.

From 300 people only 6 could join the soul toad sect causing Liang Lu to raise an eyebrow. He expected A and B-grade aptitude to be rare but not that rare.

"What are you thinking about brother Liang?" Yi Fang, a fat youngster dressed in a yellow robe asked with a friendly smile.

"Nothing much brother Yi. I'm dying for good food. Do you know any cheap restaurant with good food?" Liang Lu casually asked.

Although it had been less than an hour since they met they both befriended the other for the desire of benefits.

Liang Lu wanted someone he could buy and sell from and keep the transactions from being known by the least amount of people possible while Yi Fang wanted to pull Liang Lu into his faction.

Although Yi Fang knew extreme physiques had the fame of being like shooting stars shining brightly for a few moments and dying young dragging with them everything around to the next life.

Yi Fang also knew it was different with super forces involved, the soul toad sect was a super force. As long as Liang Lu was loyal to the sect the supreme elders could delay Liang Lu's aperture from exploding and even help him ascend to the immortal realm if that was the case Yi Fang would benefit by having a gu immortal owing him a favor.

"Brother Liang, I own a restaurant not far from here. I was planning to go there. Would you like to tag along? Of course, I will pay. I wouldn't have a conscience if I let my friend crave for delicious food while being unable to pay." Yi Fang was full of smiles quickly continuing

"We can speak about cultivation along the way. My father is an esteemed elder of the sect and has given me many pointers since the moment I was born other than that I'm sure you are curious about your extreme physique."

Yi Fang planned to reveal information about Liang Lu's physique to earn his trust the sect would tell him either way but if Yi Fang told him first Liang Lu would feel grateful and indebted to him.

While they were conversing Liang Lu suddenly felt something grabbing his arm followed by a soft feminine voice.

"Brother Liang, are you hungry? Come with me I know a good restaurant with a beautiful view of the city." Wang Mei, a beautiful girl with a well-endowed body spoke with a slightly red face, part acting and part desire as she intentionally pressed her body against Liang Lu.

'Do you have no shame?!' Liang Lu was taken aback, his face blushing almost screaming but could only open his mouth with no words coming out.

'So he is one of those that wants to be dominated.' Wang Mei inwardly thought as she smiled more brightly and her face became redder as her mind played all kinds of intimate scenes.

Wang Mei had approached Liang Lu since his aperture was awakened although she acted polite yet shy at first Liang Lu kept his distance thinking the shy type wasn't his type Wang Mei became more and more daring eventually doing this.

'I really need wisdom path gu worms at times like these otherwise I might have to become an eunuch or maybe there is a eunuch gu?" Liang thought suddenly, having the urge to see if he could refine such Gu.

Although Liang Lu wasn't well versed in the rules and traditions of the soul toad sect he believed Wang Mei wanted to seduce him using the excuse of him taking her purity he would be pressured into marrying her or compensating her.

"Sorry, I don't think that's appropriate." Liang Lu finally spoke, regaining his senses as he tried to free his arm from her hug.

Wang Mei acted stubbornly. After a bit of going back and forth, she finally released his arm.

'How can she have such strength?' Liang Lu stretched his arm feeling that if she wanted to break it instead of doing some kind of seductive act she would have succeeded.

'I was planning to offer him a courtesan after we had eaten but he rejected Wang Mei. Does he swing the other way?' Observing on the sideline Yi Fang quietly thought.

Yi Fang was inwardly relieved since a long time ago he had a crush on Wang Mei he had confessed to her many times and wanted to marry her she along with Dou Wei were his childhood friends both of their parents were under his father Lao Fang if Yi Fang said he wanted to marry Wang Mei her parents would happily offer her on a silver plate to him the problem was she didn't love him 12 times he had confessed and 12 times he had been rejected thus he had long decided to make her fall in love with him for that reason he spends much of his time on his brothels from his perspective he was learning about the tastes and preferences of women both in bed and in public.

While Yi Fang had that inner thought. A youngster who used to have an indomitable gaze had his head hanging low silently following behind Yi Fang. No one knew what went through the head of that delusional transmigrator who had just been slapped by a reality check.

"Hmm… Dou Wei? What's wrong with you?" Yi Fang asked worriedly he knew Dou Wei would be disheartened after knowing he didn't have cultivation talent but seeing his friend who always faced everything without fear and always acted bravely in that state left Yi Fang with a bad aftertaste.

'Perhaps…' Yi Fang suddenly thought about why he was so down. Dou Wei's parents wanted to teach him the value of money for that reason they acted as if they were drowning in debt.

They sent away the house servants to work on their businesses, hid the jewels, hid primeval stones, stopped giving maintenance to their mansion, and even went as far as to move out all the furniture and change their silk clothes to cheap linen clothes produced by gu worms.

Although Dou Wei's parents were rich they weren't as rich as Lao Fang or Yi Fang who didn't even have 5 percent of his father's businesses.

Yi Fang grabbed Dou Wei by the shoulders before he could speak. Dou Wei mumbled in an almost incomprehensible tone. "Yi Fang… Protagonist… can't be… Wang Mei… he… deserves…"

'Oh no, is he hallucinating?' Yi Fang hurriedly spoke.

"Look at me Dou Wei, your parents aren't poor they aren't in debt they simply wanted to teach you the value of money they are filthy rich…" Yi Fang paused for a moment "Well… they don't even have a tenth of the businesses I have but still they are rich… no wait… they… they are moderately rich. Don't worry I'm sure they can still afford to buy you a Man Triumphing Over Heaven Gu with the contribution points they have accumulated and don't worry I can make you a loan so you can buy an aptitude-increasing gu as well as we are friends I won't charge you interest."

After Yi Fang said the last sentence his merchant instincts started tingling. "Well… due to the labor and among other expenses to not make a loss I will just charge you… 1 percent interest! wait…"

After going back and forth Yi Fang finally decided "5 percent I will just charge you 5 percent interest… annually and there is no time limit!... Wait no I… you know what fuck it pay me when you want."

As if only hearing the last word the delusional transmigrator that was like a withered plant suddenly sprang up as if it had revived after being splashed by water.

'This… this is what supporting characters are for! They are supposed to use all their money and things to help the protagonist!" Dou Wei had a big smile on his face.

"Brother Yi, I hear you have businesses that sell gu worms. Do you perhaps have gu worms of the wisdom path?" Liang Lu asked by the side not expecting much after all the wisdom path was rare.

Yi Fang turned around "Yes I have a few if you want I can even request to…"

Both Yi Fang and Liang Lu started talking about business as they walked toward a restaurant.

"This… Liang Lu!" Dou Wei suddenly had a crazy thought "He has taken my heavenly beauty and now is taking my supporting character… he is the Villain!"

Dou Wei remembered that it was a clique that the villain was absurdly hot, intelligent, a horny bastard that stole the harem members of the protagonist and wanted to kill the protagonist. From his perspective, Liang Lu fits all categories.

Liang Lu was hot looking like a femboy, looked smart, stole Wang Mei for himself, is trying to steal Fatty Fang stopping him from getting resources, and stole the extreme physique that was rightfully his the Boundless Forest Samsara physique, and turned it into the Carefree Wisdom something physique.

While Dou Wei was imagining a nonexistent history in his mind he wanted to go chase after Liang Lu and kill him to reclaim the boundless forest samsara physique but he realized that Liang Lu along with Yi Fang had already left a long time ago.

"Liang Lu, you have escaped today, pray that I won't find you. I warn you if you keep offending me I will kill your nine generations even the chickens and dogs won't be spared!" After screaming at the sky and many people looking at him as if he were a weird bug, Dou Wei went to his home to get the treasure that always made the protagonist op.
