"Yajun, do you want to know the taste of this meal? Then we must first cook the rice completely. Let’s give it a try. Are you willing to cook the rice thoroughly with me, Yajun?"
The man dressed as a scholar looked at Yajun with deep affection, who was fuming with anger.
Yajun slapped away the man’s hand as it reached out, snorted coldly, "It seems you have really been kicked out of your house. Wang Qixian, aren’t you afraid you haven’t avoided your old man’s board when you go back?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qixian was instantly excited, "It’s only because of you, otherwise I would have been fed up with my old man long ago. Why else would I endure humiliation just to survive until I met you today!"
Yajun sneered, "You seem to think that your contempt for the world is acting out human truths. Do you really believe existence is only about romance?!
"I pursued you for three whole months, just so I could have the right to be contemptuous of the world towards you. Is that okay, my dear Yajun?"
Yajun said with disgust, "Enough, Wang Qixian! Look at your exaggerated face! You really are an empty man!"
Wang Qixian said with serious intent, "I am very real, if you don’t believe me, feel for yourself!"
With that, he pulled Yajun’s hand to his chest.
"Do you feel my heat?"
Yajun jerked her hand away.
"But certainly not the most boring, right?"
"You scoundrel, you’re awful, you’re lecherous, you talk to me always bending over!"
"Well, you’re never straight either."
Yajun yelled angrily. Follow current novᴇls on NovelHub(.)net
Wang Qixian looked at Yajun with deep affection.
"What is it, my dear Yajun, I am here!"
Yajun said coldly, "Compared to you, those scoundrels I saw before were just naked children!"
With that, she ignored Wang Qixian and stormed away.
Wang Qixian called out twice, finally leaving with regret, twisting his hips as he headed in the opposite direction.
"Brother Lu, why are you curious about this matter too?"
The girl next door asked curiously.
This girl was called Xu Li, the daughter of an official’s family living next door. Her father, Xu Meng, was the defender of Juliu City, a martial artist of extremely high skill, tall in stature. When Lu Ren first met Xu Meng, even he was taken aback by the other’s strength, which had already stepped into the Bright Awakening Realm.
Qi and Blood transformed into substance can unleash extraordinary power, causing great harm to mysterious creatures while also elevating oneself to an extremely terrifying level.
Even within Juliu City, Xu Meng was a significant figure. The size of his residence was massive as a result, making Lu Ren’s living place seem quite pathetic in comparison.
Lu Ren slightly shook his head, "Just happened to stumble upon it, found it a bit interesting."
Xu Li looked at Wang Qixian who was rebuffed and couldn’t help but shout loudly, "Wang Qixian, didn’t manage to cheat anyone, huh? You shameless, despicable, filthy scoundrel will definitely not find a partner!"
Hearing this, Wang Qixian turned his head to look and seeing it was Xu Li, his originally angry expression turned bashful as he touched his nose, "What are you saying, Miss Xu? I’m actually very loyal."
"Of course, I love humanity, but I just have a fondness for some beautiful girls. I’ve been doing it for almost thirty years now. Isn’t that what you call loyal?"
Wang Qixian’s jesting made Xu Li quite contemptuous, but due to her experience and upbringing, she couldn’t speak for a moment, coldly snorted, and turned her head away from Wang Qixian.
Seeing this, Wang Qixian did not seek embarrassment, laughed, and walked away.
After conversing briefly with Xu Li, Lu Ren found an excuse to leave, returning to his residence.
Nearing evening, Lu Ren expertly donned a pitch-black suit, then proficiently climbed over walls, adeptly avoiding the patrols of Juliu City’s guard, and sneaked all the way to Juliu City’s Pear Blossom Square, into a grand mansion.
Lu Ren went straight, arriving at the roof opposite the innermost pavilion building.
This pavilion occupied a vast area, comparable to a library in the real world.
In fact, this was the official Library Pavilion of Juliu City.
The place was brightly lit and heavily guarded, yet everyone’s gaze seemed to overlook Lu Ren, scanning the eaves where Lu Ren stood without a hint of awareness.
Apart from the occasional chatter, there was no other movement in the whole environment.
Lu Ren’s Bright Sun True Qi had been systematically elevated, and its slight operation enabled his whole heavy body to feel as light as a feather.
With a slight effort, Lu Ren slid far along the ground.
Lu Ren looked around, the Invisibility Technique recorded in Bright Sun True Technique provided him with great convenience.
To him, it was like simulating an optical camouflage on the surface through True Qi, despite a bit of unnaturalness during movement.
But under the night and his extremely superior control, he silently reached the edge of the courtyard, then stealthily charged to the second floor, flipping through a half-open window.
What came into Lu Ren’s view was a huge pile of books, rows of bookshelves stood, just looking seemed like entering an ocean of books.
Ever since discovering the existence of a Library Pavilion in Juliu City, for the past half month, during the day, Lu Ren self-cultivated, and at night, he came to read the history of this world.
Especially upon seeing the names of Shakyamuni and Old man marking historical traces of ten thousand years ago, Lu Ren was utterly shocked.
Why are there still footprints of Shakyamuni and Old man in the Underworld, and moreover, they date back ten thousand years.
When flipping to the geography records, Li Xiaoguo’s Chentai City was destroyed by an Underworld invasion thirty years ago, Lu Ren suddenly realized the drastic difference in the time flow within the Underworld compared to the real world.
While Juliu City faced an Underworld invasion merely a hundred years ago, since the previous State Preceptor set up the gigantic mesh array, united human vitality and pure Yang, reinforced the Yang Membrane, the incident hasn’t occurred much.
Lu Ren pinched his chin, reflecting that the Daqian Dynasty’s location at an extreme Yang point within the Underworld must be the reason.
From extreme Yin comes Yang, which is as it should be.
The Underworld not only housed the Daqian Dynasty’s pure Yang point but also four other pure Yang points occupied by other nations, leaving Lu Ren surprised by the existence of Caucasian people in the Underworld.
This Underworld undoubtedly was not as simple as he imagined, probably greatly related to the real world.
Having set the book aside, Lu Ren glanced at the time from the window, finding it nearing dawn, time to leave.
Smoothly returning to his home’s courtyard, as he was about to open the door to enter, Lu Ren frowned.
Which thief dares to invade your grandfather’s house?!
Just as Lu Ren was about to rush in, he rethought, considering that these days he lived a secluded life, not provoking anyone, seemingly peaceful.
How could such a thing happen to him?
He slightly shifted his footing, quickly moving to the corner, silently watching as two tall men came out of his room.
Amazingly, they carried the gold he casually placed in the cupboard.
Upon witnessing this, Lu Ren’s gaze intensified, a flash of coldness passing through.
