"I didn’t expect him to be hiding here? I’ll go back and talk to the president!"
In a remote part of Yuzhou City, several martial artists had been tracking Lu Chen and followed him into an abandoned temple.
"Should we kill him, or..."
One martial artist said with a concentrated voice.
"No rush, let the president decide. If we act rashly and incur the president’s wrath, we could be in big trouble!"
"Right, the rules in our association are very strict, and this Lu Chen has something very strange about him. He must have had some extraordinary adventure!"
After the martial artists left, Lu Chen remained unaware; his spiritual power had nearly run out, and he was physically and mentally exhausted, now sitting on a haystack and cultivating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!
This sitting lasted a whole day!
He knew the Lu Family would definitely not let him go, so he could only strive to be strong enough to protect himself before the Lu Family found him.
Of course, even if the Lu Family made a move, they would not allow their own to do it, in order to avoid the censure of the martial artists in Yuzhou City.
Although the Lu Family was powerful, they could not withstand the anger of the entire Yuzhou City.
But that didn’t rule out the possibility that the Lu Family would spend a great deal of silver to hire some desperados.
Nevertheless, Lu Chen also had his own plans.
Currently, he didn’t have much silver and could only temporarily hide here.
Once he regained spiritual power in his body, he planned to find a busy area in the city to earn some silver and then rent a small courtyard—this much was feasible.
And those desperados wouldn’t dare to attack him in a bustling market.
When the right time came, he could then leave Yuzhou City with Qin Yaotiao!
But before that, Lu Chen decided that he must break through to the next stage!
"Young master, let’s have some food first. I bought a chicken today!"
At this moment, Qin Yaotiao carefully brought in an old bowl filled with chicken, emitting a delicious fragrance.
"How did you get the money to buy a chicken?"
Lu Chen took the bowl, his mouth watering, but did not eat immediately. Instead, he stared at Qin Yaotiao.
"Young master, I ran into a lady today. I helped her sew a lot of clothes, and she rewarded me with a silver tael! I thought the young master needs to replenish his body after cultivation, so I bought a chicken!"
Lu Chen gently put the bowl aside and then grabbed Qin Yaotiao’s hand, turning it over to look.
He saw that her thumb was covered with dense black and blue spots.
These were from being pricked by needle ends, and the bruising indicated she had sewed a lot of clothes!
Among these spots, there were also a few needle pricks—accidental injuries from her work.
Lu Chen felt a pang of heartache and held her hands in his, saying, "Don’t do this work anymore. The cultivation technique I’m practicing, just eating well is enough, it doesn’t need to be supplemented!"
What he said was true; the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method was extremely profound. As his cultivation deepened, Lu Chen began to realize that he didn’t need to satisfy his hunger and appetite as much.
After putting down Qin Yaotiao’s hands, Lu Chen picked up the bowl again and said, "This money is what you’ve earned, you eat it! Later on, just a bowl of chicken soup will do for me!"
Then, an untimely voice came along.
"Oh, what a touching scene this is!"
A flirtatious figure walked into the temple with a seductive gait.
"Yaotiao, you go out and eat this bowl of chicken, and then bring me a bowl of chicken soup!"
Seeing the newcomer, Lu Chen sent Qin Yaotiao out; once she had gone, he then coldly said, "Xu Yueru, what are you doing here?"
"Lu Chen," Xu Yueru said cheerfully, "why don’t you call me stepmother anymore? You have no manners at all... But, it’s good not to have manners, I don’t have to hold back anymore!"
As she spoke, she twisted her waist and slowly walked towards Lu Chen. From the doorway to his side was only a few steps, and when she stood before him, Xu Yueru suddenly shed her luxurious clothes, leaving only a bellyband on her upper body!
"Lu Chen, Qin Yaotiao has been disfigured; she definitely isn’t as pretty as me, right?"
"Also, this broken temple is far better than the cliffside, at least it blocks the wind and rain, and it’s not too cold!"
"Last time, you definitely didn’t get a taste of me, did you? This time, do you want to try?"
As she spoke, Xu Yueru lowered her body, her upper body swaying, and she even clasped her arms, blowing air into Lu Chen’s ears.
But Lu Chen remained unmoved and coldly stood up, saying, "Xu Yueru, no matter how you flaunt yourself, you’re not worth a single hair on Yaotiao to me! State your purpose, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
Xu Yueru didn’t seem surprised; she laughed, shaking with laughter, "Lu Chen, I’ve come to talk about cooperation with you. However, cooperation requires complete understanding, doesn’t it?"
With that, she reached behind her back, touching the knot of her bellyband.
With a light tug, the bellyband would immediately slide off!
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen quickly stood up and positioned a fire poker at the pit of her stomach, right at the bellyband!
