Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 121 Tonight, let's get cleaned up; the scheming women...

Lu Ran glanced at Mu Nujiao, who rolled her eyes and squinted back in a daze.

She recognized the woman's voice; it was the deputy judge who had appeared on the night of the main campus assessment!
In a moment of panic, I blurted out, intending to scare the woman across from me, but I ended up scaring myself instead!
This woman is a high-level, fully-cultivated being. Mu Nujiao shuddered at the thought and didn't bother arguing with her.

She was exhausted, her body still tingling from Lu Ran's actions.

There was silence. Leng Qing narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"What, now that I've called you out, you're speechless?"

Lu Ran was speechless; Leng Qing was telling the absolute truth.

He has indeed been sleeping with women these past two days.

Mu Ningxue was cultivating, while Mu Nujiao was practicing 'dual cultivation' with him.

"I'll come to Hangzhou after I've dealt with this," Lu Ran said.

Mu Nujiao frowned and pinched the waist of the man beside her.

You're eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot, aren't you?
Leng Qing raised an eyebrow and said, "You've come to Songcheng? What are you doing here?"

Lu Ran took a deep breath and said sincerely, "I'll help you."

Looking at the jealous Mu Nujiao beside him, Lu Ran first gently patted her pert bottom, not daring to pat too hard for fear that Leng Qing would hear the noise. After calming the docile kitten down, he quickly said:

"Do you remember Lu Nian? Before he died, he begged me for mercy in order to survive. He revealed some of the shady dealings of so-called big shots to me, including that of Luo Mian, the councilor who was stationed in Hangzhou. This man is not simple and is not as approachable as he seems on the surface."

Leng Qing was speechless for a moment before asking, "Lu Ran, are you sure?"

Lu Ran immediately replied, "It's better to believe it's true than not to believe it's not. If Luo Mian really has a problem, I'm worried about you being alone in Hangzhou."

Leng Qing fell silent once again on the other end of the phone.

Lu Ran pressed his advantage: "Wait for me in Hangzhou in a while. The matter in the capital will be resolved soon. I will come to Hangzhou to find you when the time comes."

Mu Nu pinched Lu Ran again, acting spoiled.

Lu Ran was already at a high level of cultivation, and his physique had undergone a transformation. Even though Mu Nujiao had tried her best to express her resentment, it still didn't hurt him. However, in order to accommodate Mu Nujiao's little mood, he still cooperated by hissing.

Even though the phone was moved a little further away, the sound still didn't escape Leng Qing's ears.

Mu Nujiao glanced at her phone, which was still connected to the call, and then lay back down with satisfaction.

Lu Ran sighed helplessly; women who enjoy scheming and intrigue make the household uneasy!
Fortunately, Ning Xue is not like that. Right now, she only wants to cultivate and break through to the higher level as soon as possible.

After a long silence, Leng Qing spoke up: "You want me to wait in Hangzhou? No need. I've already arrived in the capital. There's a meeting in the capital tomorrow that I need you to attend. I'll personally take you there."

"Also, wash yourself thoroughly tonight."

"There will be many important figures in the council tomorrow morning, so don't have any unpleasant odor."

Lu Ran: “.”

After saying that, Leng Qing hung up the phone decisively, giving Mu Nujiao no chance to retaliate.

What does it mean when a spoiled shepherd's teeth itch?
What did Leng Qing mean by that?!
Tell Lu Ran to wash herself clean. Is she that dirty?!

The shepherd girl threw her pillow down in a huff and let out a loud sigh.

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow and sighed.

Well, Nu Jiao fell for the provocation. It's not his place to interfere in a women's 'fight'.
Mu Nujiao suddenly looked at Lu Ran, her willow-leaf eyebrows trembling slightly, her eyes darting around, and she smiled slyly:

"Are you going to see her tomorrow?"

Lu Ran could only nod: "You heard it too, many important people will be attending tomorrow's meeting, and I need to attend."

Mu Nujiao nodded demurely, sat on Lu Ran's lap, and said:
"Okay, let's not do tonight's business at tomorrow's meeting?"

"She wants you to take a shower tonight? I... won't!"

After saying that, Mu Nujiao passionately kissed him.

Lu Ran's eyes widened, and she made a whimpering sound. The next morning.

Leng Qing called to urge them.

Lu Ran let out a breath of stale air; he had just finished tidying up.

Lu Ran's heart skipped a beat when he glanced at Mu Nujiao, who was lying on the bedside with her delicate buttocks instinctively raised.

At this moment, she revealed most of her alluring figure, and her long legs, which could bend over and rest on her shoulders, were a feast for the eyes.

But thinking of Leng Qing still waiting for him downstairs, Lu Ran sighed.

In the end, he compromised.

I couldn't do what Leng Qing said about taking a shower last night.

He had just taken a bath this morning; after a night of intense activity, Mu Nujiao had thoroughly ravaged him.
She didn't want him to take the stockpile to Leng Qing; what a stingy woman! Xin Xia wouldn't do that.
"Nujiao, the meeting is about to start, I'll go ahead first." Lu Ran patted her upturned buttocks and said softly.

Mu Nujiao turned over and murmured softly in her sleep, indicating that she had heard.

Lu Ran was helpless.

It is said that there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing.

But early in the morning, his ox was full of energy, so why was Tian acting like he was dying?

Oh, thinking that his cultivation level was already high and his physical body was comparable to that of a demon, Lu Ran immediately understood that it was normal for a mid-level cultivator to not be able to withstand it!

Immediately afterward, Lu Ran set up a spatial barrier that allowed people to leave but not enter, and then Xiao Xiao left the room.

Without keeping Leng Qing waiting any longer, Lu Ran quickly arrived to see her.

The two hadn't seen each other for a while.

Lu Ran came up and greeted her, "Sister Leng Qing, it's been a long time."

A rare smile appeared on that usually icy face. Leng Qing circled around Lu Ran and said with a smile:

"Your energy and spirit are good."

Lu Ran chuckled and said, "I got up early this morning to prepare for seeing you."

Leng Qing glanced at Lu Ran and said with interest:

"I was a little skeptical when I heard that you had broken through to the advanced level when you arrived in the capital. Even Grandpa was surprised by such a rapid advancement."

"Now it seems that not only is your cultivation not weak, but your foundation is also solid. This experience has also greatly improved your cultivation."

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Sister Leng Qing has a discerning eye; that's indeed the case."

Leng Qing didn't mention cultivation again, assuming Lu Ran knew what was going on.

The two headed to the Magic Palace. On the way, Leng Qing told Lu Ran about the latest developments in Lu Nian's case.

"So, Songhe has really fallen from power this time?" Lu Ran said quietly.

Leng Qing nodded and said, "Yes, most of the profits under his name have already been divided up, and the Imperial Academy also bears some responsibility. Therefore, this time all members of the training team will be compensated."

compensate?

Lu Ran asked with great interest, "How many resources does each person have?"

"At least one elemental spirit seed, or a treasure of heaven and earth of equivalent value."

Lu Ran scoffed disdainfully, "The lives of those powerful family scions are worth so little? The Liao and Zhao families agreed?"

Leng Qing narrowed his eyes and sneered:

"If that were all, they would not agree, but they have obviously gained something else in other ways, so they are willing to give in ambiguously. For them, as long as there is profit to be made, that's all that matters."
