Chapter 696: Pretending to be a Tycoon! Wildly Spending Money, Artistic Pursuit Techniques!_1

Luo Yu got up.

Behind him, Bi Bidong and Bossi, the two goddesses, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Their stunningly beautiful faces bore a hint of fatigue mixed with seven parts satisfaction.

The allure they emitted was distressingly tender.

The red of their lips, now smeared, bore white and dry traces.

After stepping out of the room, he swiftly made his way to the door of another room.

Soul Power circulating, he skillfully unlocked it.

And ventured inside.

A fresh fragrance hit his nose.

In the pitch-dark room, Luo Yu's black eyes shone bright, piercing through the darkness like a flaming torch.

On the big bed lay a seductively and glamorously beautiful young girl, her long and snowy thighs wrapped in a pink silk quilt.

Golden hair, styled in a neat bob, was scattered by the pillow, and her cherry lips were pursed together, making her appear delicate and endearing.

"Tsk."

"That sleeping position isn't good for your waist; out of concern, I should help you adjust it a bit."

Luo Yu made his move directly, startling the girl awake.

Her charming eyes snapped open, a cold light flickering through them.

A beautiful foot lashed out in a kick, aimed at Luo Yu's head.

"Who is it!"

A smile curled up on Luo Yu's lips as he casually grabbed her silky Jade Feet, holding them in his grasp like a pair of iron tongs.

Despite her struggles, she couldn't break free.

"Nana, it's me."

His magnetic voice reached Hulena's ears, and the goddess instantly relaxed her guard, and her tense thighs softened.

Pouting, she complained:

"Brother Yu, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

"I thought... I thought..."

Luo Yu teased with a chuckle, "Thought what? Did you think I was a flower picker?"

"Yes," Hulena nodded.

"Pfft."

Luo Yu continued to flirt, "Can there be a flower picker as handsome as me?"

"If I were a flower picker, wouldn't countless girls be overjoyed? Isn't that a good thing?"

"Then they would throw open their doors and windows, eagerly awaiting."

Hulena couldn't help but laugh at Luo Yu's teasing, covering her rosy lips with her delicate hands, her laughter making her shake like a blossoming branch.

Her snow-white skin trembled, teeming with charm.

"Tch, shameless Brother Yu."

"So immodest."

"Oh?" Luo Yu put on an expression of reproach, "Nana is being naughty, huh?"

His fingernails lightly traced across Hulena's Jade Feet.

Immediately, a crimson mist rushed to Hulena's gorgeous face, her skin tensed, and she trembled involuntarily in resistance.

"No, Brother Yu, you're going too far!!"

"Who... who's the shameless one?" Luo Yu demanded aggressively.

"You..." Hulena bit down on her red lips.

Luo Yu prodded again, "Who?"

"You... I... It's me..." Hulena's enchanting eyes flickered with a mix of joy and reproach.

It was then that Luo Yu suddenly turned serious:

"Before we get down to business, let's talk about something else."

"Your teacher knows about what happened between us."

"What?"

The dazed look in Hulena's Beautiful Eyes instantly dispersed, replaced by shock.

Her mouth formed an 'O' shape.

"You're not joking, are you, Brother Yu?" Hulena nervously shrank her neck.

The Female Pope was the only thing the goddess of the Martial Soul Hall was genuinely afraid of—she was a figure both stern and maternal.

If it wasn't for her deep feelings for Luo Yu, Hulena would never have dared to compete with Bi Bidong for a man.

Luo Yu toyed with the pristine Golden Lotus in his hand.

With his other hand, he waved dismissively, "Calm down, it's all settled!"

"Your teacher has been dealt with by me."

"She probably feels too embarrassed to bring it up to you herself, so just play dumb and you'll be fine."

"Taken care of?" Hulena blinked in confusion, "Brother Yu, how did you handle it?"

Luo Yu sighed and looked out the window at the night sky, studded with stars.

"In the Extreme Yang Place, amid the Black Forest, with a steadfast strike, the Empress fled!"

"Hm?"

Hulena's Beautiful Eyes twinkled, not understanding, unsure of what he meant.

Luo Yu smiled.

"Don't understand?"

"No matter."

"A teacher's duty is to impart knowledge, to instruct, and to resolve doubts. Today, I shall teach you in place of your master."

"Lead by example."

"Huh?" Hulena still didn't understand, finding herself even more bewildered amid the mists of confusion.

However, it didn't take long for her to have an epiphany as Luo Yu officially began the discussion on the Tao and discourse.

...

Sneaking into the room with the wind, nourishing all silently.

The night passed quickly.

Luo Yu took advantage of the dawn to return to his own room, and slept until noon embraced by two goddesses.

After enjoying a feast of local delicacies at the largest restaurant around,

they went their separate ways.

Bi Bidong took Hulena back to Martial Soul Hall to consolidate their forces, while Bossi headed back to Sea God's Island in advance to arrange personnel, cooperating with Luo Yu's plan to unify Douluo and consolidate Qi Yun.

As for Luo Yu, he set out alone, based on the intelligence he got from Bi Bidong.

Flying three thousand miles, he arrived at a small city south of Tiandou City.

The home of Bai Chenxiang's family, the Min Clan's residence.

Walking through the city,

Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly, the number of traders on the streets scarce, not at all bustling.

It was far less lively compared to the distance to Tiandou City and even more so than the city where he and the two goddesses Bi Bidong had stayed before.

"It seems the Min Clan has indeed fallen on hard times, otherwise they wouldn't live in such a small city."

Luo Yu had obtained comprehensive intelligence on the Min Clan from Bi Bidong.

Ever since Tang Hao became an enemy of Martial Soul Hall, the Hao Tian Clan had retreated into the mountains, isolating themselves and emerging not at all.

All the forces associated with Hao Tian Clan had suffered since then, the Four Subsidiary Sects most of all.

And among the Four Subsidiary Sects, the Min Clan had fallen on the hardest of times.

Fortunately, the Min Clan still had some reputation in this small city, and Luo Yu soon found their location.

What came into view was a spacious residence, but the vermilion gate was somewhat run-down, with a golden signboard hanging, inscribed with the words "Bai Residence."

The golden paint had somewhat faded.

Erm...

Looking at the slightly shabby gate, Luo Yu couldn't help but murmur.

Before coming here, he had thought the Min Clan was poor.

But he hadn't expected them to be impoverished to this extent.

After all, what mattered most to any power was their public face; they wouldn't let their main gate look so aged.

He scrutinized the surroundings closely, and from the repeatedly repaired walls and the old signboard on the gate, he saw one word.

Poverty!

Luo Yu pondered for a moment; recruiting the Min Clan was not the main purpose of his trip.

How to whisk away the granddaughter of the family head was the crucial point.

Without hesitation, he strode to the door and knocked.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

No sooner had he knocked when a servant in plain clothes opened the door.

"I am..." Luo Yu was about to introduce himself.

But the young servant raised his hand to stop him, gesturing with his eyes and giving off an air of knowing understanding.

"Got it, got it."

"You're here to propose to our miss, aren't you?"

"???"

Luo Yu was baffled—what situation was this? He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, how did you know?

Wait a minute!

"Also??"

The servant pointed to the courtyard.

"Alright, go line up."

Luo Yu was even more bemused, looking in the direction the servant pointed, his eyes stalled.

Good lord.

A long queue snaked through the yard, several loops long; all were young men of marriageable age carrying gift boxes, each looking well-dressed and standing tall and proud.

"What... what's all this about?" Luo Yu asked speechlessly.

"Whatever you're here for, that's what they're all here for," replied the servant, giving him a look that seemed to ask why he was pretending to be ignorant.

"..."

Luo Yu was at a loss for words.

"Your miss is that sought after??"

"Are you coming in or not? If not, off you go," the servant urged.

Luo Yu didn't take offense with the other party and walked straight in.

The servant pursed his lips.

"That's really stingy, showing up for a proposal empty-handed, not even bringing a gift box."

"Looking to freeload, eh!!"
