Chapter 169 - 169 Lemons
169 Lemons
Zhiying felt that this time, this aunt was different.
In the past, whenever Liu Yuan took in a new concubine, she would only feel that he had another concubine. Occasionally, she would have doubts such as ‘is this a concubine’ or ‘how many concubines does he have?’
The young girl did not feel much in her heart. She only felt that, according to normal standards, he had a little too many concubines.
However, for Zhiying, who had grown up in a demonic sect and had not come into contact with many rules of the mortal world, it was just a little too much.
Among the Immortal cultivators, especially the demonic and evil cultivators, there were many who wantonly opened harems and indulged in sex. Even in the Righteous Path, there were many people who used dual cultivation methods to improve their cultivation. as long as both sides were willing, this was not a big deal in Shangyang.
Liu Yuan’s current condition was within the normal range, not to the point where it would be surprising.
The only thing he had that would make others envious, jealous, and hateful was that the quality of the people in his backyard was so high that it made people’s hair stand on end.
It was truly infuriating.
Just based on what was known so far, he had taken down the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, one of the Young Mistress of one of the great aristocratic families, the strongest combat power of the Taiqing Pavilion, and the demonic sect’s Holy Maiden.
He had basically taken over almost half of the top Immortal sects of the Righteous Path, one sect, three pavilions, four families, and six sects, as well as the largest forces of the demonic path.
As a spy, Zhiying knew that Liu Yuan did not do anything to the women. Instead, the women came to him on their own, including her mother.
In other words, in the dark, there were still many contestants waiting to appear.
As a 4-star character, Hong Luan was not very outstanding among the contestants. At most, her attributes were a little special. She was a puppet and could easily perform various positions. She also had the advantage of being unbreakable.
Of course, as a housekeeper and maid, she could also take care of the house.
However, Liu Yuan, who knew Hong Luan very well, knew that this little maidservant’s standard of handling household chores was basically on par with his. Although she was very hardworking, the actual results were pitiful.
However, this was not the main point. The main point was that right now, Zhiying, who should have been used to Liu Yuan’s occasional lover, suddenly felt different.
The young girl was extremely intelligent, so after a moment of confusion, she understood the reason.
It was not that the aunt this time was different.
She was different.
When the petite girl in the red dress stood on her tiptoes and kissed Liu Yuan, Zhiying felt her heart skip a beat.
A strange feeling spread in her heart.
If Liu Yuan had kissed her that night, would they be in such an intimate scene now? But he was someone else’s now…
It was a little sour.
It was like eating a lemon.
The young girl was expressionless. She tilted her head and stared at Hong Luan, faintly emitting a dangerous aura.
“Eh? Zhiying?”
The corner of Liu Yuan’s mouth twitched. He had a headache. Previously, Zhiying was not like this. However, not long ago, he had been honest with the young girl and had put on clothes for her. This seemed to have caused Zhiying to have some thoughts.
Compared to before, when all he wanted to do was to give her gifts and was deeply influenced by Pihuan Luo, she did not have any emotional fluctuations. Now, she was gradually developing into a complete person.
Although the direction was still a little off, overall, it was very gratifying.
“Hong Luan, do you know where the people who entered the tomb before went?”
He reached out and touched Hong Luan’s head. This doll was very petite and only reached the position between his waist and chest.
“Eight died outside,” the puppet replied. “One ran into the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm. Because of the Martial Emperor’s bloodline, Hong Luan can’t say too much or she will break the rules.”
The young girl’s expression was very serious.
The Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm was obviously related to the Martial Emperor’s inheritance. It seemed like the inheritance he had obtained in the game was not the real inheritance, but just a cover.
The cultivation technique that the players had obtained was dropped by the monster body. However, who said that the boss would drop the real thing?
The game producers must have set up a trap here, waiting for the next version.
Even though he had a good impression of them, the character’s Code of Conduct would not change.
Just like how Shen Sifan could ignore the mortals in the City of Ten Thousand Swords and use the Ten Thousand Sword Array to kidnap people, she would still feel guilty. If this happened a few more times, her Dao Heart might have collapsed. It was also Liu Yuan who made the decision to save her. Otherwise, Shen Sifan might have continued to be possessed a Mental Demon.
Using favorability to change a character was a very dangerous act.
Liu Yuan thought for a moment and probed, “Another kiss?”
Hong Luan was startled and fell into silence. She then pursed her lips and said, “I’ve always been kissing casually.”
Although she was a puppet, she was not an artificial retard. How could such a cheap thing be used as a condition?
Was there a fee for the marriage?
The puppet felt wronged.
Ahem! Liu Yuan coughed dryly and said, “Then let’s try something we’ve never tried before.”
Hong Luan fell into complete silence. She then turned her head and pinched the corner of her skirt with her fair and tender hands. Her eyes were somewhat unfocused. “Try... Try what…?”
“How about I hug you to sleep?” Liu Yuan asked.
The figure suddenly retreated two steps as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned by this unprecedented event.
In the past, there were only kisses, but now, they were hugging.
“Walk forward and you will see one of the bronze cauldrons. The inscription on the cauldron is the incantation to open it, but it needs to be translated backward. It can not be opened unless you have the bloodline of the Martial Emperor.”
Hong Luan turned her head away expressionlessly and said as if nothing had happened.
Liu Yuan nodded and muttered to himself, “In other words, blood recognition? Logically speaking, there should only be one Martial Emperor’s descendant left in the world. However, I remember that He Junhao’s wife, the Puppeteer, used a Martial Emperor’s blood to fill the puppet’s meridians when she was making high-level puppets to provide power for the heart pump.”
The puppet said, “...Hong Luan, Hong Luan won’t agree unless she’s being coerced.”
Liu Yuan looked at the serious-looking little puppet and almost laughed out loud in his heart.
But he still had to hold it in.
He stretched out his hand to hold Hong Luan’s hand and said, “In this tomb where the spiritual energy is sealed, we can’t beat Hong Luan. So we can only win her favor first and knock her unconscious while she’s letting her guard down.”
Hong Luan nodded. “That’s right. If not, how could Hong Luan not have noticed it at all?”
Liu Yuan touched her head and asked, “What’s my favorability level with you now?”
“Yes.” Hong Luan raised her head. “It’s full.”
“That’s good.” Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the back of Hong Luan’s neck.
According to his current strength, this was just like a massage.
The puppet had an ‘Ah, I fainted’ look on her face as it was held in Liu Yuan’s arms. She closed her eyes very professionally.
Only Zhiying looked at the two of them as if they were fools.
However, she felt as if she had been fed a lemon.
