Chapter 272 Fragrance
Lu Ming chuckled and clicked "Reject".
So what if the Pope is high and mighty?
In one's own chat group, dragons must coil up and tigers must lie low.
If you want to join the group, how can you do it without paying a price?
He regained his composure and focused all his attention back on the alluring body before him.
Ning Rongrong was so overwhelmed by his kisses that she could barely hold onto his shoulders.
"You...you mustn't bully me..."
"My dad... my dad won't let you get away with this..."
Lu Ming increased the pressure on his hands, causing Ning Rongrong to let out a soft moan.
"You're still bringing up your father at this point? It seems I haven't taught you a lesson deep enough."
"If you don't satisfy me tonight, I'll smash all the broken stones in your treasure vault tomorrow."
Ning Rongrong was so frightened that she shook her head repeatedly, a crystal tear welling up in the corner of her eye, but she stubbornly refused to give in.
Hu Liena seized the opportunity to lean in and leave a red lip print on Lu Ming's cheek.
"Master, please ignore this unromantic young lady and let Nana serve you instead."
Xiao Wu clung to Lu Ming's arm and nuzzled him gently.
"Brother Lu Ming, Xiao Wu will be very good. Please don't smash Rong Rong's stones, okay?"
Lu Ming leaned against the headboard, looking energetic and with clear eyes.
The physical enhancement brought by this ten-thousand-year soul ring is truly terrifying. After tossing and turning all night, I not only did not feel tired at all, but I also felt refreshed.
He glanced down at the girls who were still fast asleep.
Ning Rongrong clung to her right leg like an octopus, muttering "bad guy" from time to time.
Xiao Wu curled up in Liu Erlong's arms, her two rabbit ears drooping limply on her forehead.
Zhu Zhuqing lay quietly at the foot of the bed, her hands still in a defensive posture, but her body instinctively moved closer to Lu Ming.
Hu Liena was the most restless one, with half her body pressed against Lu Ming's chest, her fox tail tightly wrapped around Lu Ming's arm.
Lu Ming reached out and pinched Hu Liena's nose.
"Stop pretending to be asleep, I know you've been awake for a while."
Hu Liena slowly opened her eyes, her fox-like eyes filled with languor and allure.
She rubbed against Lu Ming's chest like a well-behaved kitten.
"My master is so mean, he just has to expose me."
"Nana just wanted to feel her master's body temperature a little more."
Lu Ming chuckled, pulled her off him, and got up to put on a large bathrobe.
"Get ready, it's time to go out and meet the guests."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's morning tea should be ready by now."
Hu Liena nodded obediently, completely disregarding her alluring figure, and immediately got out of bed to help Lu Ming get dressed.
The commotion woke up Ning Rongrong, who was sleeping soundly.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she saw the scene before her, the absurd and crazy memories of last night instantly flooded her mind.
"ah!"
Ning Rongrong let out a piercing scream and suddenly pulled the blanket over herself, wrapping herself up like a silkworm cocoon.
"Lu Ming, you big bad guy! You actually... you actually..."
That shout woke everyone in the room.
Liu Erlong sat up abruptly, and seeing her barely clothed state and the mess on the ground, her face flushed red and then turned pale.
She glared at Lu Ming fiercely, then grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on.
"You little bastard! I'll get rid of you one day!"
Lu Ming fastened his belt and slowly walked to the bedside.
He bent down and pulled Ning Rongrong, blanket and all, into his arms.
"What? You didn't have this expression when you hugged me and called me 'good brother' last night."
"Now that you've taken advantage of me, you want to renege on your promise?"
Ning Rongrong struggled desperately under the covers, revealing a small face that was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
"You're talking nonsense! I didn't shout!"
"You're a scoundrel! A rogue! A lecher!"
Lu Ming laughed and kissed her on the forehead.
"No matter how you curse me, you will always belong to me, Lu Ming, for the rest of your life."
"Get up quickly, your dad is still waiting for us outside."
"If you arrive late, Sect Leader Ning might think I've devoured you alive."
After saying that, Lu Ming let go of her hand and strode out of the master bedroom.
Only a few blushing girls were left in the room, frantically getting dressed.
In the pavilion outside Tingshui Garden.
Ning Fengzhi had been waiting there for a long time.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stood behind him like two guardian deities, their faces as black as the bottom of a pot.
Although the commotion in this courtyard last night was mostly blocked by the soul power barrier, they were still titled Douluo.
The faint sounds of panting and playful laughter could not escape their ears.
Especially Bone Douluo, the thought of his beloved granddaughter, whom he had watched grow up, being violated by that bastard made him want to slap Lu Ming to death.
"Fengzhi, are you just going to stand by and watch Rongrong walk into the lion's den?"
Bone Douluo gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
Ning Fengzhi paused slightly in his teacup, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"Uncle Gu, things have come to this, what else can we do?"
"This young man's strength is unfathomable, and he also possesses mysterious methods behind him."
"It might not be a bad thing for Rongrong to be with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming led several radiant girls out of the courtyard gate.
Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind him, one on each side.
Liu Erlong led Xiao Wu through the middle.
Ning Rongrong, who was walking at the back, kept her head down and twisted the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. She didn't dare to look up at Ning Fengzhi and her two grandfathers.
Lu Ming walked straight into the pavilion and sat down in an empty chair with an air of nonchalance.
"Sect Leader Ning, good morning."
"The bed in Tingshui Garden was quite soft last night, and I slept very soundly."
Bone Douluo looked at Lu Ming's irritating appearance and then at Ning Rongrong's shy and timid demeanor, and his beard trembled with anger.
"Kid! Don't try to act innocent after getting the benefit!"
"If Rongrong suffers any injustice, I'll risk my life to skin you alive!"
Lu Ming looked up at Bone Douluo, his eyes calm and without a ripple.
"Bone Douluo can rest assured."
"I will naturally protect my people."
"No one in this world can harm them in the slightest under my nose."
He picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip.
"Instead of worrying about that, Sect Leader Ning should focus on preparing the resources we need."
"I'm taking half of the treasure trove with me today."
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, suppressing the various emotions in his heart, and slowly nodded.
"Don't worry, Emperor Lu, the supplies are ready."
"I only hope that you will not forget your promise from yesterday and ensure the safety of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a hundred years."
Lu Ming put down his teacup, a wild and arrogant smile creeping onto his lips.
"My words, Lu Ming's words, are law."
"Anyone who dares to touch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I will wipe out their entire family."
He stood up, walked to Ning Rongrong's side, and put his arm around her slender waist.
"Let's go, my young lady."
"Take me to see that pile of broken stones in your house."
Ning Rongrong gasped and instinctively tried to break free, but seeing the complicated looks in her father's and grandfather's eyes, she eventually obediently let Lu Ming hold her.
The group marched in a grand procession toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasure pavilion.
Sunlight streamed onto the white jade avenue, reflecting a dazzling light.
Lu Ming opened the chat group again in his mind.
[Lu Tiandi]: The morning tea at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is nothing special.
[Emperor Lu Tian]: We're going to empty half of their treasure trove. Everyone, please feel free to ask if you want anything.
The chat group instantly erupted in excitement; everyone was shocked by Lu Ming's extravagant gesture.
On this continent, Lu Ming is undoubtedly the first person in history to be able to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three major sects, obediently hand over half of its resources.
[Little Witch]: Lu Ming, you're so annoying! That's my family property!
[Poison Fairy]: Brother Lu Ming is awesome! I want a few high-aged poisonous herbs!
[Wanting a sweet romance]: Yue'er wants a beautiful gemstone necklace!
Looking at the screen full of messages, Lu Ming felt extremely happy.
He tightened his grip on Ning Rongrong's arm slightly.
In this world filled with martial spirits and slaughter, he will trample on everyone's dignity to reach the supreme peak!
Tang San was nothing more than a clown for his amusement in his spare time.
After emptying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's time to give that "Chosen One" some new surprises.
After all, everyone in the chat group was really looking forward to Tang San's tragic performance.
Lu Ming strode into the treasure pavilion with a loud laugh, leaving the people outside with an arrogant and domineering back view.
It's time for a complete change in the world of Douluo Continent.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasure pavilion was built in an extremely grand manner.
Two heavy bronze doors soared into the clouds, their surfaces engraved with intricate spirit-gathering formations.
Ning Fengzhi walked at the very front, his steps appearing particularly heavy.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo followed on either side, their faces ashen and their auras extremely suppressed.
To have half of their treasure trove taken by someone so brazenly is an unprecedented humiliation for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School since its founding.
Unfortunately, they had no chance to resist.
Lu Ming put one arm around Ning Rongrong's slender waist and leisurely stepped onto the bluestone steps.
Ning Rongrong's delicate body was still trembling slightly; the crazy memories of last night made her too afraid to look up at anyone.
The large hand wrapped around her waist was extremely hot, burning her body through the thin fabric.
"Sect Leader Ning, please open the door."
Lu Ming stopped in his tracks, his tone nonchalant, completely disregarding the grievances of the three top experts.
Ning Fengzhi sighed and raised his hand to unleash a stream of pure soul power.
The bronze gate emitted a dull rumble and slowly opened to both sides.
An extremely rich medicinal fragrance and precious aura instantly wafted over, and multicolored lights illuminated the dim interior as if it were daytime.
A playful smile appeared on Lu Ming's lips as he strode in without any hesitation.
The interior of the treasure pavilion is extremely spacious, with rows of sandalwood shelves filled with all kinds of rare treasures.
Soul bones, top-grade herbs, rare minerals, and even lost soul tools—you can find everything here.
"As expected of the wealthiest sect in the world."
"This foundation is indeed much stronger than those poor and shabby advanced soul master academies."
As Lu Ming offered his comments, he unceremoniously sat down in a large main seat covered with soft velvet.
He casually pulled Ning Rongrong into his arms.
Ning Rongrong gasped and fell onto his strong lap, her rosy cheeks instantly flushing red.
"Let me go!"
"My dad and the others are still watching!"
Ning Rongrong lowered her voice and coquettishly pleaded, placing her hands on Lu Ming's chest in an attempt to break free, but her strength was not even enough to tickle him.
Lu Ming completely ignored her protests, his large hand sliding down her back to her pert curves, giving them a firm squeeze.
Ning Rongrong's body stiffened abruptly, a sweet, muffled groan escaped her throat, and she completely slumped into his arms.
Standing outside the door, Bone Douluo's eyes were bloodshot, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he was about to suddenly attack.
Ning Feng pressed down hard on Bone Douluo's shoulder, veins bulging on his forehead, but he could only swallow his anger.
"Uncle Gu, the bigger picture is more important."
Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth and squeezed out those words, then turned away, preferring to ignore them.
Lu Ming heard everything that was happening outside the gate, but he didn't care at all.
He turned to look at Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing beside him.
"Nana, Zhuqing, go pick one."
"Take everything you want, leave it all behind."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena's alluring fox-like eyes immediately lit up.
She swayed her serpentine waist and leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Lu Ming's neck and giving him a hard kiss on the lips.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Nana will definitely find the best treasures for her master."
Hu Liena turned around excitedly, her fox tail held high behind her, and walked towards the rows of antique shelves like a mistress inspecting her territory.
Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly, a hint of undisguised fervor appearing in her usually cool gaze.
The Netherworld Cat activated her movement technique, transforming into a black shadow and leaping directly onto the top shelf, where she began to plunder the rare and exquisite spiritual herbs that were seldom seen in ordinary times.
Liu Erlong stood to the side, holding Xiao Wu's hand, watching the scene of bandits entering the village, and helplessly rubbed his temples.
"You brat, you really don't hold back at all."
"He flirted with the sect leader's daughter in front of him and even tried to empty his treasury."
Lu Ming waved to Liu Erlong.
"Isn't it tiring for the teacher to stand?"
"Last night you were complaining of back pain and begging me to stop, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong blushed instantly, spreading all the way to her slender white neck, and stamped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance.
"Shut up!"
"If you keep spouting nonsense about last night, I'll..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ming reached out with his other hand, wrapped it around her waist, and forcibly pulled her down to the other side of the main seat.
Liu Erlong let out a cry of surprise and crashed solidly into Lu Ming's broad chest.
Lu Ming took a deep breath of the mixed fragrance emanating from the two of them, looking extremely content.
Xiao Wu, holding a crystal-clear spiritual fruit that she had taken from some shelf, obediently walked up to Lu Ming.
"Brother Lu Ming, this fruit smells so good, Xiao Wu wants to eat it."
Lu Ming opened his mouth, indicating that Xiao Wu should feed him.
Xiao Wu blushed slightly as she carefully brought the spirit fruit to Lu Ming's lips.
Lu Ming took a big bite of the fruit, and then put Xiao Wu's fair fingertips into his mouth and gently sucked on them.
Xiao Wu withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and the rabbit ears on her head popped out instantly. She shyly covered her burning cheeks and retreated to the side.
