Warhammer: Starting with Industrial Revolution

Luo Ning gently raised his head, but his eyes were blindfolded.

The immense evil completely drew Ronin's gaze; the faintly visible blue veins made the pale skin appear even more delicate, and at the apex of that sin, the rose-red fruit was already ripe, making one's mouth water.

The Lord of Pleasure, who had been so arrogant just moments before, noticed this as well. She grabbed Luo Ning's face and turned him towards her.

"Look here! I'm talking to you!"

"I'm sorry, my dear," Ronin smiled slightly, easily freeing himself from Slaanesh's grasp. "What you've said may be incredibly tempting to others, including the power I just tried—it was truly novel. But you've forgotten a very important point."

Seeing Slaanesh's puzzled look, he smiled and slowly stood up, gently giving her a kiss.

"Even if you don't share it with me, I can still steal your power, and that power is enough for me."

Seeing Slaanesh's sudden realization followed by a look of grievance, Ronin suddenly realized that he was a complete scumbag.

Back in China, he had cursed countless times those scumbags who made girls cry.

And now, as expected, karma is a wheel, and people eventually become the very thing they hate.

How is my behavior any different from that of those scumbags?

"Even if you could steal my power, it would be negligible. Don't you want to be stronger? Don't you want everyone around you to obey your every command? Do you think everything will go smoothly for you? You will eventually encounter political enemies and other ruthless foes! And they won't try to reason with you like I do; they'll just tear you to shreds!"

The great Lord of Pleasure never imagined she would be in such a sorry state. She tried to argue, but found the man before her completely unmoved.

This completely overturned her understanding over thousands of years; never before had any mortal so readily refused when she offered him power.

"Luo Ning! Stop right there! I won't let you leave!"

In that instant, the entire space was distorted. Slaanesh was, after all, a god in the warp universe, the master of all obsessions and desires in this world. Even the entire warp trembled slightly because of her roar.

Countless souls who prayed to the Lord of Pleasure were shattered by this roar.

Luo Ning turned around, simply looking at the Lord of Pleasure before him without saying a word, and walked straight toward her.

"What are you going to do?" For the first time, Slaanesh felt a sense of fear. The man in front of her seemed to be a dark god worshipped by another human. He was a complete mystery!

Rhonin could completely disregard any of the laws of the warp, though he was never aware of it.

But Slaanesh knew perfectly well that the man possessed immeasurable power in the Warp.

He just hasn't realized it yet.

Now, as he looked directly at himself and slowly walked towards him, even Slaanesh's twisted and broken palace returned to its former state with his steps.

Slaanesh was terrified; she never imagined such a day would come.

She once thought that after she deciphered the secrets of the mysterious man Luo Ning's soul, she could use Luo Ning's body to reach another reality.

But now, she had no other thoughts, only an impulse to escape from the depths of her soul.

As one of the four dark gods, she would not allow a mortal to trample on her dignity in this way. In that instant, filled with boundless rage, her power almost tore apart time and space.

But in the next second, Ronin gently pulled her into his arms, and the great Lord of Pleasure couldn't even resist.

"My dear, listen to me. Using your power might allow me to get what I want faster, but at the same time, it's far too dangerous for me."

Rhonin's voice was unusually gentle, and even the furious Slaanesh couldn't help but calm down.

"The human empire is almost obsessively harsh and suspicious; any unexpected smooth development will only bring destruction."

"When the Astartes Chapter arrives, what chance do you, even your Archmage, have? Let alone a mere mortal like me who can't even kill a chicken."

"Even if I use your power to defeat them, the planet I'm protecting will still be destroyed. What, then, is all I've done for?"

Luo Ning gazed into the eyes of the Lord of Joy, his eyes filled with boundless sincerity and tenderness. He gently stroked the other's cheek and continued slowly:

"Between you and me, we shouldn't be bound by that cliché soul contract. Just as I chose to come to you rather than being dragged here from the real universe by your familiar, I came to you because I need your help, and even more so because I miss you."

"We possess each other, so why are you in such a hurry to possess me? I already belong to you, without any constraints, and I am willing to accept it."

"No one can take me away from you, other gods of the Void. I'm not a violent maniac or a warmonger, so I have no interest in Khorne. And Nurgle, you know, the mere thought of him infecting me terrifies me. As for Tzeentch, heh..."

Seeing Luo Ning's smile, the Lord of Joy gradually suppressed his murderous aura.

At that moment, she was just like a real little girl.

Having lived through hundreds of millennia in this world, she had witnessed countless such weak human confessions and was no longer surprised by them.

Unexpectedly, these clichéd words, spoken by Luo Ning, carried such weight.

As Luo Ning gazed at her with deep affection, the distance between them grew ever closer.

Even she, the queen of pleasure, couldn't help but close her eyes to feel that passionate kiss.

"I should wake up now, darling. My planet still needs my care. If I ever get into trouble, you'll protect me, right?"

Seeing the perfect woman in front of him slowly nod, Luo Ning smiled and patted her head.

But the next second, Slaanesh suddenly laughed.

The girlish shyness vanished instantly, leaving only a mocking look in her eyes.

She swayed and sat back on the edge of the magnificent round bed, her bare feet swinging gently. She raised her chin and looked down at Luo Ning, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

"You sweet-talking scumbag, you're saying sweet words while secretly using my powers to seduce me. You've got some nerve."

It was discovered!

Ronin was startled. He had been secretly trying it out. Although he didn't have any other abilities, he had used the Lord of Pleasure's ability—Adoration—when facing the Imperial Inquisitor Dani.

This time, facing the enraged Lord of Pleasure, he had no choice but to try it. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good, but he also didn't expect the other party to react so quickly.

However, judging from the smile on Slaanesh's face, she probably wasn't angry about it.

Luo Ning quickly went over, knelt down on one knee, and gently kissed her snow-white hand, saying affectionately, "Although I used your great power, every word Luo Ning said is true, and I will never lie to you."

A faint, almost imperceptible smile flashed across the face of the Queen of Pleasure. The next second, her slender foot lightly stepped on Luo Ning's chest.

"I don't want to hear your sweet talk anymore. If you want to leave, then leave. You can find your way out anyway. If you dare to do this again, I won't let you off the hook."

Luo Ning gently embraced the jade-like feet in front of her chest and lightly kissed Slaanesh's instep.

The next second, when he opened his eyes, he was back in his room.
