"Yaotiao, what are you..."
Lu Chen let out a bitter chuckle. Qin Yaotiao was gentle and virtuous, and sometimes Lu Chen couldn’t bring himself to raise his voice at her.
To say she was timid, yet at times she would stand in front of Lu Chen when danger approached.
To say she was courageous, yet at the moment she seemed somewhat afraid of death.
"Young Master, didn’t you say you wanted Yaotiao to bear you a bunch of kids? Yaotiao wants to... wants to..."
The rest of the words just wouldn’t come out for Qin Yaotiao.
Lu Chen knew that sometimes Qin Yaotiao could be stubborn, and if he didn’t please her today, she probably wouldn’t be at ease when they tried to flee.
If that was the case, he might as well go with the flow.
After all, he had long regarded Qin Yaotiao as his woman!
Moreover, the news from Xu Yueru was at least reliable, and Lu Changkong, lacking any sense, would not choose to act in broad daylight!
With a sigh, he also began to undress.
...
"Our men sneaked up to Room No. 1 of the Heavenly Series and heard some panting. Who would have thought that Lu Chen, the boy, would be so lewd in broad daylight, and actually know how to enjoy himself?"
"Hey, a man has his last meal, and he eats it the most sumptuously. Maybe he knows he’s going to die and can’t escape Yuzhou City, so he’s indulging in such debauchery, regardless of day or night!"
"Indeed, Qin Yaotiao’s figure is really good. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was originally Lu Chen’s maidservant, I would have wanted to touch her a long time ago!"
"Who would’ve thought Lu Chen, even as a cripple, kept her by his side – he probably knew he was doomed and wanted to die beneath the peonies, eh!"
"I advise you all, Lu Chen is the one who killed Lu Zhan. He might have ruined his dantian, but this fellow might be fooling us all!"
Ten Bone Refinement Realm martial artists exchanged information and sent people back to the Lu Family with the news.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changkong immediately became very excited.
"I don’t know if Lu Chen is waiting for death, but he definitely never thought about leaving Yuzhou City! What a pity, a heavy reward will find a brave man willing to take action, and with enough money, someone will carry out the deed, and we can wash our hands clean of this affair!"
Lu Changkong wished he could order the death of Lu Chen immediately, but he still maintained a certain amount of reason.
Even these ten Bone Refinement Realm martial artists had been bribed by him long ago.
They would take advantage of the chaos to leave Yuzhou City after achieving their goal.
Without any evidence, who could claim it was Lu Changkong’s doing?
Little did he know that Lu Changming and others had already prepared everything, just waiting for Lu Changkong to give the order.
At that time, there would naturally be both witnesses and evidence to prove Lu Changkong’s breach of conduct.
But for now, the moment these ten Bone Refinement Realm martial artists made their move, they intended to deal a deadly blow to Lu Chen!
...
"Yaotiao, it’s time to get up, the sun is almost down!"
Qin Yaotiao burrowed into the bedclothes, too embarrassed to rise.
Even after baring her soul to Lu Chen, she still felt somewhat bashful.
"Young Master, you get up first, I... I..."
Lu Chen teased her, "Oh? You used to help me get dressed before. Are you sure?"
"Young Master, stop talking!"
Qin Yaotiao covered herself completely under the quilt.
Lu Chen got up with a smile and dressed neatly.
After a long effort, he surprisingly felt not the slightest fatigue, and couldn’t help wondering if it was because he had practiced the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method?
Shaking his head, he dismissed the thought, and after making sure there was nothing left to pack, he then said, "Yaotiao, I’m going downstairs to get some dry food ready, hurry up."
"Mhm, Young Master, I’ll get up right away."
Hearing her reply, Lu Chen smiled. If it wasn’t for Qin Yaotiao, he wouldn’t have bothered bringing anything.
After discreetly purchasing some dry food from the kitchen, Qin Yaotiao also came down, and the two of them quietly left through the back door of Yu Pavilion.
But hardly had they left when martial artists rushed into Yu Pavilion, and the sudden noisy commotion startled Lu Chen!
Was Xu Yueru’s information wrong?
The sun was still up; how could they dare to act?
"Yaotiao, let’s hurry!"
Lu Chen’s expression darkened, and he started to run, pulling Qin Yaotiao along, but she barely moved, mumbling incoherently.
"Young Master, it... it hurts down there!"
Qin Yaotiao knew the situation was urgent and spoke quickly, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Lu Chen made up his mind; if she couldn’t walk, what was he to do?
Without further ado, he hoisted Qin Yaotiao onto his shoulder!
"Mmhm!"
Qin Yaotiao’s soft moan echoed swiftly through the inn!
In an instant, the martial artists all turned to look in their direction!
"Over there!"
Suddenly, a martial artist with a sword in hand charged toward them!
Other martial artists who had gone upstairs also began leaping down directly from above!
In no time, there was chaos in the inn!
Lu Chen’s face paled, and he rushed towards the back door!
If it were only Bone Refinement Realm martial artists, that would be one thing.
But if there were any Marrow Refinement Realm martial artists...
