Transmigrating into Murong Fu, may you have many children and much happiness.
Chapter 102 World No. 2
Chapter 102 World Number Two
Li Qinglu was teased by Murong Fu again, and she shouted "You lecher!"
However, she didn't feel any disgust because she inherited Li Qiushui's genes and was raised by her, so she was also an absolute fan of good looks.
She had seen Li Qiushui keep male lovers in the harem since she was a child. Everyone in the palace knew that the Dowager Consort had been a womanizer when the late emperor was alive, and had gathered many handsome young men to live with her. It was said that the late emperor died in depression.
But one day she suddenly put on a veil, and then killed and exiled the group of handsome young men.
Li Qinglu was still young at the time, but she later learned from the rumors that her grandmother's personality had changed drastically because her face had been disfigured.
Like Li Qiushui, Li Qinglu naturally liked handsome men, but she was also different from Li Qiushui. She had a high opinion of herself and was unwilling to let ordinary men come into contact with her. When she saw princes and nobles on some occasions, she also looked down on them.
But today, when Murong Fu held her hostage, she blushed and her heart raced the entire time. The reason was simple: Murong Fu was just too handsome!
His face was as fair as jade, his eyes as bright as stars, and his brows exuded an air of refined nobility. He was tall and slender, and every gesture he made revealed the composure and elegance of a scion of a noble family. He wore a white robe that was as pure as snow, and a precious sword hung at his waist. The scabbard was inlaid with pearls and jade, which further accentuated his handsome appearance and his mastery of both calligraphy and swordsmanship.
Suddenly, a jade-like white snake crawled out from Murong Fu's neck, hissing and flicking its icy blue tongue. Above its head was a jade-like silkworm, which was also emitting wisps of cold air.
Li Qinglu was taken aback. Anyone with eyes could see that these two beasts were no ordinary creatures. The young master, the white snake, and the jade silkworm—in her eyes, there was indeed a unique harmony between them.
"Hungry? Hehe, all you do all day is sleep and eat. You guys are living much better than me." Murong Fu stroked Xiao Bing's chin, nuzzled Xiao Yu's body, then patted Li Qinglu's head and said:
"You two have a good chat, I'm going to feed the little one."
As Murong Fu walked out of the room, Li Qinglu withdrew her gaze and saw that Wang Yuyan had already held the awakened Murong Lang in her arms for him to see.
The two women look alike but have very different personalities, yet they can still chat together.
But no matter how the two women talked, it always revolved around Murong Fu.
Li Qinglu then learned that her brother-in-law was none other than Murong Fu, one of the famous figures in the Central Plains martial arts world known as "Qiao Feng of the North and Murong of the South".
His first wife was Wang Yuyan, who was his elder sister. He was an extremely philanderer, with two wives, three confidantes, and recently he had also taken in four beautiful maids.
He currently has only one son, Murong Lang, but his retainers have taken in quite a few adopted sons.
Wang Yuyan then told her about her trip, the origin of her martial arts skills, and the secrets of her grandmother Li Qiushui and other elders.
The next morning, when the group ate breakfast together, they were all surprised to find that there were two Wang Yuyans.
Only Tong Lao snorted coldly and turned her head away. Seeing Tong Lao's reaction, Wu Ya Zi realized who was in front of him and sighed.
Later, Murong Fu introduced her to them with a smile as Wang Yuyan's cousin, named Li Qinglu.
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and then introduced themselves, thus getting to know each other.
But when Li Qinglu saw the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, she was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip and blushed.
Bah! This guy really has a thing for this. My sister is still clueless and says he kidnapped me so that the sisters could reunite.
In reality, it must be for the sake of her sisters, like twin lotus blossoms reflected in a mirror.
Wang Yuyan's beauty and the visual impact of her resemblance to plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums are already strong enough. Now, with the addition of Li Qinglu, it's like having two Wangs carrying a bomb—an explosive visual impact.
Murong Fu hummed a tune as he ate the coarse spicy soup in the shop.
But Li Qinglu saw through it but didn't say anything. After listening to Wang Yuyan's account and combining it with her grandmother's attitude towards Murong Fu, she knew that this man could be called an extraordinary man of the time. Every time she thought about the skin he had touched last night, she felt a burning sensation.
Murong Fu asked Li Qinglu what fun places there were in Xixia City, and indicated that after visiting them today, they would set off from Xixia tomorrow for Suzhou.
At this point, Li Qinglu made a request to Murong Fu, asking him to also remove her close maid "Xiaolei," whom she considered a sister, from the palace.
She grew up with me since childhood; though we were master and servant, we were like sisters. She was skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, and chores; she was gentle, meticulous, reliable, and loyal.
We've never been apart for a day. Brother-in-law, could you please pick her up for me?
Murong Fu had some impression of Xiao Lei, so he nodded and told them to pack up, saying he would be right back.
Xiaolei was the first to discover Li Qinglu's disappearance. With tears in her eyes, she reported Murong Fu's note, hoping to find the princess as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, the Dowager Princess spoke up, saying that the princess had indeed gone on a trip, but Xiaolei didn't understand why she wasn't taken along.
And so, just as she was thinking this, a handsome young man in white robes grabbed her arm and carried her out of the palace...
The group set off from Western Xia, traveling and having fun, crossing the Hexi Corridor, climbing Mount Hua and Mount Tai, visiting Penglai to see the sea, and then traveling to Mount Huang to see the strange rocks and sea of clouds.
After more than a month, we sailed on Taihu Lake and arrived at Canhezhuang.
Bao Butong had already sent Duan Yu back to Dali and returned to his manor. Now, he was welcoming Murong Fu together with Deng Baichuan, Gongye Qian, Feng Bo'e, and others.
The three of them had already heard Bao Butong recount the series of extraordinary adventures that followed, and they were all amazed by the love-hate relationship between Tianshan Tonglao, Li Qiushui, and Wuyazi.
But now, seeing the imposing young girl, they dared not act rashly in the slightest.
Because Tong Lao's skills are recovering every day, she has now recovered to the level of someone in their fifties or sixties. In the entire Yanziwu, apart from Murong Fu, no one is her match.
It could even be said that there are very few people in the entire martial arts world who can fight Tong Lao to a draw at this moment.
Martial arts skills are the greatest source of confidence for people in the martial arts world. When Tong Lao loses all her martial arts skills, no matter how powerful the superior is, she is nothing more than a tiger with its teeth pulled or an elephant with its legs broken, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
But as his strength recovered, the great demon's aura became astonishing.
Apart from Murong Fu and Wu Yazi, everyone else was somewhat reserved in front of Tong Lao.
In particular, Ah Zi embodies the natural fear that the inferior has of the superior among the evil species.
She was incredibly audacious, but she only dared to steal the Divine Wood King Cauldron from villains like Ding Chunqiu, and she would never dare to scheme against Tong Lao.
After the old woman disembarked, she told Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju not to follow her, and then went to stroll around the manor alone, which relieved everyone.
Feng Bo'e and the others couldn't help but marvel at the sight of the four swords—Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum. But when they saw Li Qinglu, everyone's jaws dropped in astonishment.
Bao Butong never expected that the young master would have another adventure after he left, and would actually bring back two Miss Wangs.
Seeing their reaction, Murong Fu was naturally amused and told them to quickly instruct the kitchen to begin the banquet.
Abi also ran to the kitchen, saying she wanted to supervise the work for the young master and see if the cooks and cooks were doing a sloppy job.
Meanwhile, A'Zhu, along with Xiao Ming and You Cao, took the gifts, miscellaneous items, and some dirty clothes they had collected along the way to clean. Although Murong Fu had a personal space that allowed him to not only undress them but also clean the dust and dirt off their bodies, dirty clothes still needed to be washed.
The group of people were all busy with their own things, but they would soon finish and have a meal at the mansion.
Murong Fu is known for his love of fine food and banquets, so there are tables of various sizes at the Canhe Manor. Tonight, Murong Fu's family, retainers, and the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass, totaling more than twenty people, will be dining together.
Tong Lao and Wu Ya Zi were not used to such a large group of people gathering together, and the difference in their seniority made them uncomfortable, so they did not attend. Su Xing He naturally served his master instead.
The others quickly introduced themselves and became acquainted.
After the banquet, there were fireworks and lanterns, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
After returning to their rooms, Murong Fu let them each take a bath to relax, while he himself opened the system while in the bathtub.
[Tianlong World: Exploration Progress 34%] (7% Energy Recharge)
[World 2: Exploration 0%] (100% Charge)
When he reached the summit of Mount Tai, the exploration progress of World One reached 30%, thus unlocking World Two.
He then discovered that, along with World One, an additional charging progress had been added to the existing system.
The energy level of World II is displayed as 100% in green, while that of World I is displayed as 0% in white.
He also discovered that he could now customize the world's name, so he renamed World One to Tianlong World. World Two is unknown, so he left it unchanged.
Over the past few days, Tianlong World has been slowly recharging.
Aside from having his mind move to the green World Two and the system prompting him that clicking it would teleport him to a safe area within World Two, there were no other prompts.
However, according to his guess, worlds that are fully charged can be entered directly, while those that are not fully charged are waiting to cool down.
He can enter World Two directly now, but he will have to wait for the recharging to finish before he can return to the current world.
Furthermore, Murong Fu checked the system and found that it explained that because the exploration level of the new world was too low and a stable connection had not been established, when traveling between different worlds, worlds with an exploration level below 30% could not synchronize their time. Each time he went there, he could only go to the host's last time anchor point.
After careful consideration, Murong Fu made up his mind that he would never go to the so-called second world before the Tianlong World was fully charged.
The chance to return directly is like having a protective charm. If the second world is a high-level martial arts or even a fantasy world, even if he appears in a safe area, he might suddenly encounter a Foundation Establishment ancestor who dislikes him, which could cause Murong Fu to capsize.
However, if he could immediately return to the Tianlong World upon discovering danger, Murong Fu's safety would be greatly enhanced. He even felt that even if he encountered a chaotic battle between Nascent Soul cultivators, he would have a high probability of escaping and returning alive.
After careful consideration, Murong Fu, no matter how curious he was about World Two, would not give it a second thought.
He simply wrapped a bath towel around his neck and walked out of the bathroom to go to A-Zhu's room.
Because he knew that among his women, A'Zhu had grown up by the lake and was the most skilled in water combat.
The next day, the four retainers reported to Murong Fu on the Murong family's business dealings during his absence.
Murong Fu also informed them that he would build another stronghold outside Gusu City and allocate land on the nearest island to Canhe Village for permanent residence of the Lingjiu Palace personnel.
Later, Murong Fu also inquired about some issues concerning business and development, as well as the four men's observations on the Eight Friends of Hangu Pass and their suggestions on personnel management.
After the discussion, Murong Fu called in the Eight Friends of Hangu who were waiting outside.
These eight individuals each possess unique talents, having reached a level of madness. They are: Kang Guangling, the virtuoso musician; Fan Bailing, the chess prodigy; Gou Du, the bookworm; Wu Lingjun, the painting madman; Xue Muhua, the divine physician; Feng Asan, the master craftsman; Shi Qinglu, the flower enthusiast; and Li Kuilei, the opera fanatic.
Murong Fu first asked them if they were used to living in Suzhou, and then discussed the employment of the eight people.
The Murong family now wields considerable power and influence in Suzhou and even throughout the Jiangnan region, so these eight professionals can naturally be properly placed, which is also a reflection of the family's heritage.
Murong Fu could foresee that the Murong family would inevitably become more and more deeply rooted and flourishing.
He dismissed the others, who would be reporting for duty soon, and kept Xue Muhua behind alone.
Murong Fu has gained a deep understanding of Wu Yazi's physical condition these days. He asked Xue Muhua to prepare some medicinal herbs so that Wu Yazi's body could undergo rehabilitation treatment in a few days. At that time, Xue Muhua would assist him and learn from him.
Xue Muhua was naturally delighted, firstly because his master's health might be recovering, and secondly because he could learn skills from Murong Fu.
Murong Fu then inquired about the usefulness of Xue Muhua's group of Xingxiu Sect disciples. He frankly admitted that, apart from their somewhat sycophantic flattery, those people were indeed quite professional, bold yet meticulous, and possessed considerable knowledge of the human body and some medicinal herbs.
After Murong Fu encouraged him, he told him to make preparations as soon as possible.
After conveying his good advice, Murong Fu went out for a walk and met Wu Yazi instructing Wang Yuyan in martial arts by the lake. Tong Lao was also there. Wang Yuyan was a rare talent, and it was hard for anyone who wanted to inherit her body not to like her.
Now, Wang Yuyan has completely mastered Wu Yazi's internal energy, and in terms of the depth of her internal energy, she even surpasses Murong Fu.
Moreover, Wang Yuyan has extremely high comprehension, which also means that her training efficiency is extremely fast. Murong Fu felt that if he did not work hard, his internal strength would never be able to surpass Wang Yuyan's.
So these days, he relentlessly pursued Wang Yuyan every night, using his cousin to help him cultivate.
And it's true that practicing martial arts has its advantages; Wang Yuyan can now keep up with Murong Fu's pace.
Upon seeing Murong Fu arrive, Wang Yuyan immediately waved to him. Wu Yazi watched the sweet scene between the young couple with a smile, while Tong Lao snorted coldly and said:
"Why aren't you practicing your skills yet?!"
Didn't I tell you you have half an hour to consolidate your Northern Darkness Divine Skill before I teach you the "Eternal Youth Skill"?
"You don't have time to flirt with that kid Murong Fu!!"
Wang Yuyan stuck out her tongue and continued practicing her skills. Murong Fu found it amusing to watch Wang Yuyan being disciplined by Tong Lao, who was three heads shorter than her.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Li Qinglu at the corner.
"Qinglu, what are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Murong Fu, Li Qinglu sighed, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:
"Sigh, you know that although Yu Yan and I are cousins and even look very similar, we have absolutely no relation to Senior Wu Ya Zi, and we are even disliked by Senior Tong Lao. So I stay away and watch my cousin practice, otherwise no one will play with me."
Murong Fu leaned closer to Li Qinglu's ear and whispered, "With Tong Lao's skills, you don't think she won't hear you by speaking so softly, do you?"
Under Li Qinglu's shocked gaze, Murong Fu grabbed her arm and said:
"Come on, let's find a quiet place. Your brother-in-law will teach you acupressure."
