Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

"By order of the Holy Maiden, all high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult shall return to the headquarters for a meeting."

Ye Guyi, her pretty face calm, stepped out of the secret room, her voice echoing throughout the entire Holy Spirit Church headquarters.

Its powerful aura was completely exposed, with no attempt to conceal it.

"Come quickly."

Chapter 212 Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wildflowers

Haotian Sect.

The clouds and mist are misty.

Behind the altar, high peaks pierce the clouds. In a pavilion, two burly men sit, surrounded by empty wine jars. Both men, Da Ming and Er Ming, are quite drunk.

"Big brother, you said Tang San is already harsh enough. After she takes over, will we still have a good life?" Erming said in a daze, looking lost.

"Shut up," Da Ming said coldly.

"If you don't want to live, then go die, but don't drag me down with you."

"Brother, how long have we been out of contact? The situation in the God Realm is in a mess. If we could still get in touch, we wouldn't be indifferent to the chaos in the lower realms now, would we?"

"I told you to shut up!" Da Ming's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Er Ming, smashing the wine jar with one hand and shattering the tiles into dust.

"Some things are not up to you or me to decide, understand?"

"From the moment of the sacrifice, we were destined to go down a dark path!"

"..."

"If I had known, it would have been better to just die like that..." Erming said sadly.

"Just drink yours. Even the finest brew from the far north of this continent can't shut you up." Da Ming said helplessly, his anger dissipating as he slumped into his seat.

"Alcohol is supposed to drown sorrows, so why am I becoming more and more sorrowful the more I drink?"

Erming smacked his lips.

"Shh..."

As a very faint sound rang out, Da Ming did not turn his head, but simply raised one hand. A letter appeared between his two fingers, and a small blue bird hopped around beside him.

"Windbird?"

Seeing this, Erming sobered up a bit and looked at Daming in astonishment.

"This is... Shrek Academy?"

Da Ming didn't say anything. He opened the envelope, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Those Shrek guys really are trying to drag us down with them."

"What do you mean!" Erming roared in fury. "It's one thing that those good-for-nothings can't handle Lu Cheng, but what does it have to do with us?"

"They're using Tang San's name, and although their tone is polite, it carries a hint of coercion and threat. After all, Wu Tong is with them, and the envelope also contains Wu Tong's message," Da Ming said helplessly.

"We have no choice."

"Then what do they want to do? Start a war with the Body Sect?" Erming said angrily.

"It's not that bad, it hasn't come to that yet. They're probably just trying to win us over beforehand. But for this tournament, they're using our Haotian Sect's team to try and gain prestige for Shrek Academy." Da Ming said quietly, his hands behind his back.

"Shall we borrow it?" Erming asked hesitantly.

"What if we don't lend it to them? Believe me, if I refuse today, Wu Tong will come back to the sect and cause us trouble tomorrow?"

"Borrow it. If we can win, the world will know the prestige of our Haotian Sect. After all, our martial spirit is known to all."

"That Dong'er..."

"What Dong'er? I don't know." Da Ming waved his hand: "Keep drinking!"

……

Ontology.

Headquarters.

In the endless mountains stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles.

A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Lu Cheng stood atop the mountain, overlooking the beautiful scenery below. An old ox plowed the fields, the rice paddies rippled like waves, and in the distance, there were delicate pink peach trees—a scene of paradise.

Children were also playing and frolicking in the fields.

This place is considered the main base of the Body Sect. Most of these commoners have been dependent on the Body Sect for generations. Every year, they organize the awakening of martial souls. Those who awaken powerful martial souls, or even Body Martial Souls, are directly absorbed into the sect. If they are ordinary, they farm the land, marry and have children here, and live out their lives in a daze.

The population here is a full 100,000. Looking down from the high mountain, the houses stretch for hundreds of miles and seem to have no end.

It was dusk, and the sun was setting in the west.

The orange reflection on the water made Lu Cheng's usually tense nerves relax a little.

After a while, the sun completely set, but the houses gradually lit up, like stars in the sky, making the place even more lively than during the day, with sounds coming intermittently from below.

"Busy person, it's been so long since I've seen you..."

Tang Ya stood gracefully beside Lu Cheng, her fair fingers lightly touching her red lips, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity as she leaned close to Lu Cheng's ear: "You rascal, you didn't go out and eat again, did you?"

"That's true, wildflowers always smell sweeter than garden flowers."

Tang Ya crossed her arms over her chest, revealing her voluptuous and magnificent bosom. Her beautiful face smiled, stirring Lu Cheng's heartstrings.

"How is the Tang Clan doing?"

Lu Cheng let out a breath of stale air, shifted his gaze from the indigenous people, and somewhat awkwardly changed the subject.

"It's so-so," Tang Ya said, pursing her lips, but a hint of pride appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has been especially kind to me because of you, as has the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family. Everyone greeted me with smiles. The establishment of the Tang Sect went exceptionally smoothly, and the disciples they recruited all had good talents. With the help of my senior sister, I also perfected the true secret manual of the Tang Sect. I didn't hide anything; except for the top few powerful weapons, I made the rest public."

"Open source?" Lu Cheng asked, his eyes wide with surprise.

He never expected Tang Ya to have such great courage.

They actually released the cultivation manuals that Tang San had treasured and kept hidden away.

"..." Tang Ya shrugged. "Senior Sister said I did a good job."

"It would be a good thing to let the Tang Sect in this other world continue. Anyway, there is no legitimate Tang Sect in this world. Being able to spread its influence here can be considered as extending the life of the Tang Sect."

"You guys are... quite open-minded." Lu Cheng chuckled and shook his head.

To be honest, if it were him, he might not be so willing to do it.

"Then...when will you pick my homegrown flower?" Tang Ya tiptoed, her soft, delicate body pressed closer to Lu Cheng, almost leaning against him, and spoke softly.

"There's no time like the present, so let's do it today."

Lu Cheng smiled and looked at the delicate beauty beside him, "Sister Xiaoya, do you like the outdoors?"

"If it were you, it wouldn't be impossible..."

Tang Ya blushed, but her delicate hands continued to remove her clothes without stopping. This place was in the mountains and forests, and there were dense trees to cover it. Unless a Title Douluo-level expert carefully searched the vicinity with his spiritual power, it would be impossible to find them.

Not to mention...

Lu Cheng's mental power had already thoroughly explored the area within a radius of dozens of miles.

This ability is really suitable for field combat.

A pale blue dress lay tossed on a tree branch, followed by underwear adorned with a white rabbit pattern...

"Don't speak, just kiss me..." Tang Ya's beautiful eyes were hazy as she gently stroked Lu Cheng's cheek with her delicate hand.

Soft, low breathing came from the woods, followed by a rapid, impatient gasp, and then came the passionate lovemaking, the air thick with the intensity of their emotions...

……

"Homegrown flowers never smell as sweet as wildflowers..."

Inside the small courtyard.

Zhang Lexuan said casually, her fair hand gliding over the document, her light blue eyes glancing sideways at Lu Cheng: "You had a great time last night, but you forgot that I waited for you here all night."

"..."

Lu Cheng's pupils dilated.

How did Lexuan know that?

Was she spying on me?

That's not right. With his mental perception yesterday, he couldn't have missed Zhang Lexuan. Even if Du Bu Si came, he would still have been detected.

"Hmph, that slut went to brag to Jiang Nannan first thing this morning, and Ma Xiaotao heard it and came back to tell me." Zhang Lexuan laughed angrily, glanced at the guilty Lu Cheng, and instead of being mysterious, told him everything.

Lu Cheng's eye twitched.

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan are best friends, so it's not that they would brag about it; at most, they would just... share it?

Your brother's... good...?

grass.

What inappropriate and offensive language.

Lu Cheng's throat bobbed; he had already imagined how vividly Tang Ya had described it.

"Ahem, Le Xuan, thank you for your hard work... This family still needs you to keep it going." Lu Cheng said, slightly embarrassed.

Last night, Tang Ya was foaming at the mouth and rolling her eyes, but she still clung tightly to his clothes, refusing to let him leave and insisting on doing it again.

He didn't leave at all and worked overtime until all night.

"Nonsense, without me, this family would fall apart sooner or later."

Zhang Lexuan flipped over a beautiful silver leaf and tossed a document into Lu Cheng's hand: "Here, we're heading to the Sun Moon Empire next month to participate in the competition. Take a look at the preliminary list of participants from the Body Sect."

"..."

Lu Cheng didn't stand on ceremony, took the document, and quickly flipped through a few pages.

He nodded slightly.

This participating team directly represents all the elites of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect.
