Chương 256: Chapter 252: Qian Renxue Comes to Recruit! Become One of Mine!!_1
Half a day had passed, and the sun sank in the west.
The hotel was suffused with a romantic atmosphere.
Dugu Yan snuggled up in Luo Yu's embrace, her pristine arms draped over the man's neck like a beautiful snake, her body exuding an even more enchanting and seductive aura.
The girl kept her eyes tightly shut, breathing evenly.
Her delicate makeup was by now slightly smudged, with a few tear streaks remaining at the corners of her eyes.
Luo Yu gently withdrew his arm from Dugu Yan's embrace.
As soon as he moved, Dugu Yan let out a soft whimper and awoke from her sleep.
Her eyes, blurry with sleep, opened.
"Brother Yu, where are you going?"
Luo Yu softly stroked Dugu Yan's smooth hair and said in a gentle voice, "Did I disturb your rest?"
Blinking her beautiful eyes, Dugu Yan looked up at the man from his embrace.
"Not at all. I was sleeping really peacefully just now in Brother Yu's arms."
After speaking, she affectionately rubbed her nose against the man's broad chest.
Her pretty face showed her infatuation and dependence.
Soon after, she loosened her hold on Luo Yu's arm.
"Brother Yu, if you have things to do, go ahead. Yan'er can stay here by herself or go home."
Luo Yu said with surprise, "I just moved my arm a bit. How did you know I was going out?"
Dugu Yan giggled, "There were so many people looking for you downstairs during the day. They must have had something important for Brother Yu."
"Yan'er is already very content that you could stay with her for half a day, leaving them unattended."
Luo Yu had been wondering why Dugu Yan hadn't mentioned the morning's events; it turned out she was well aware, just choosing not to speak of it.
Seeing the girl's sincere warm smile on her face.
Luo Yu couldn't help but bend down and kiss those soft, sweet, cool lips.
Raising his head, he noticed Dugu Yan's shy gaze and hesitated, "What's with that look?"
Dugu Yan shrank her neck back.
"Brother Yu, a kiss is enough."
"Let's not do anything else."
"Yan'er's body is frail; I truly can't take much more."
Luo Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
This...
Ah, this...
Luo Yu asked, "You haven't eaten all day, don't you want to have something?"
Dugu Yan shook her head.
Throwing Luo Yu an alluring glance, she said, "No need, I'm already full."
"Actually, I even feel a bit overstuffed."
"Hisss—"
"I suspect you're seducing me, but I have no evidence."
Luo Yu's words scared Dugu Yan into curling up under the covers.
She wrapped herself up like a dumpling, without leaving a trace uncovered.
"Uh..."
Luo Yu was all but speechless.
"Isn't that a bit of an overreaction?"
Tightly biting her moist thin lips, Dugu Yan's pretty face showed apprehension as she nodded vigorously, finding the idea very reasonable.
"Sigh..."
Luo Yu let out a long, melancholic sigh.
His marksmanship, honed to perfection by the likes of Bi Bidong and Liu Erlong, rendered him invincible.
And oh, how lonely that is.
After being tender for a while, and after giving a few words of instruction, Luo Yu left the room.
Dugu Yan watched the fading figure of Luo Yu, her eyes filled with reluctance.
However, she remembered her grandfather's admonition: a little coquetry and jealousy were acceptable, but a smart woman would never limit a man's freedom, for that path led quickly to falling out of favor.
Feeling as if her body was falling apart, Dugu Yan silently resolved.
It was vital to improve her strength.
Luo Yu's power was too overwhelming. To be honest, she was finding it hard to keep up.
Dugu Yan rose from her seat, stretching her slender and well-rounded legs, her pure white jade feet touching the ground, her toenails painted a bewitching purple. She stumbled after just a few steps.
She walked to the window, her gaze pensive and filled with longing, as she watched Luo Yu exit the hotel and disappear around the corner of the street.
Watching the man stride away, vigorous and full of energy, Dugu Yan lightly furrowed her brows and spat out, "What nonsense is that saying? That there is no such thing as a field that's been plowed too much, only oxen that die of exhaustion."
"Lies."
"I wonder if that old guy from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan hassled grandfather again today. If this keeps up, we might need Brother Yu's help."
Dugu Yan murmured softly to herself, her eyes flickering with disgust.
...
Luo Yu left the hotel, heading towards Yuexuan.
However, as soon as he reached the corner of the alley, two figures landed heavily in front of him, blocking his path.
Luo Yu frowned and looked intently at them—two old men with peculiar auras.
The old man on the left, over two meters tall, had a slender body that stood straight and sharp as a javelin, as if it could pierce through the ground.
The one on the right appeared unremarkable, but his moderately plump body exuded a dangerous aura.
Although these two were unfamiliar, appearing at this time and place...
Luo Yu had a guess in his mind.
He remained silent, looking directly at the two of them, waiting for them to speak first.
Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo looked at Luo Yu, who was calm and collected, and felt a slight surprise inside.
A normal person would either panic or hurry to ask questions when suddenly stopped by strangers.
How come this kid is so special, not saying a single word?
The gaunt Snake Spear Douluo asked, "Aren't you the least bit curious why we stopped you, kid?"
Luo Yu retorted, "Why should I be curious?"
Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo exchanged glances, thinking this kid was a bit odd.
He did not act like a normal person, not following the usual script at all.
Luo Yu said, "If you have something to say, say it, if not, step aside."
Snake Spear Douluo's eyes widened as he shot back, "Hey, aren't you being a bit too cocky with your words, kid?"
Luo Yu chuckled lightly, "Is blocking someone's way without warning considered polite behavior?"
Porcupine Douluo stepped forward and snorted coldly, "Do you even know who we are, to dare speak like this!"
Luo Yu ignored the threat and shook his head, "Enough, don't waste time. If you were here to fight, you would have made a move already. Let's have the person behind you come out."
"???"
"How did you know someone was behind us?"
Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo were shocked as they looked at Luo Yu.
Why did it feel like this kid knew everything?
Was it an illusion?
Luo Yu stared at them and smiled with amusement.
"I wasn't certain at first, but now that you've mentioned it, I am."
"Damn it, you little trickster," Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo said indignantly, stomping their feet.
In this situation, they seemed quite foolish.
"Alright, you two step back," said an authoritative and pleasant voice from the shadows.
"Yes, Miss," Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo respectfully moved to the side.
"Da—da da!"
A woman with a stunningly beautiful figure wearing golden high-heeled boots walked out from the side of the street and headed straight for Luo Yu.
Luo Yu observed the suddenly appearing woman.
Her voluptuous body was wrapped in a golden, radiant gown; golden hair cascaded down her back, and she exuded a unique aura of nobility, elegance, and perfection.
A golden veil covered her face, revealing a hazy beauty.
A tiny Seraph was branded on her forehead, emitting a divine presence.
Luo Yu nodded to himself silently.
She must be Qian Renxue. Even without seeing her true face, he could sense an otherworldly aura about her.
He just did not know why this woman was seeking him out.
Qian Renxue approached Luo Yu, her amethyst eyes intently studying him.
She had initially stayed hidden, intending to have Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo try to sway the man.
But before they could say much, they had given themselves away.
Qian Renxue did not think the two great Douluos were foolish; rather, she felt this man indeed possessed something special, not just exceptional musical talent, but perhaps something else hidden.
This only fueled her desire to explore further.
She parted her cherry lips and asked, "You don't seem surprised at all by our appearance."
Luo Yu looked at Qian Renxue and shrugged.
"Nothing to be surprised about. I don't have any enemies."
"If you're not here to recruit me, are you planning to date me instead?"
Qian Renxue was left speechless for a moment, stumped by Luo Yu's remark.
Did her question seem that stupid?
It shouldn't, right?
"Name your price," Luo Yu said.
Qian Renxue asked almost reflexively, "Name my price for what?"
Luo Yu rolled his eyes, "Since you're here to recruit me, you should state your offer, right?"
Qian Renxue's lips parted slightly.
This was not going according to the script she had envisioned.
Wasn't this man supposed to be a reserved master? Why did he immediately talk about a price, as if all he wanted was money?
This made her look down on Luo Yu internally.
How impressive could a man greedy for wealth be? She, Qian Renxue, disdained such people.
"How much money to recruit you?"
Luo Yu shook his head.
"Sorry, I don't need money."
"In terms of wealth, you're not necessarily richer than I am."
Upon hearing what Luo Yu said, Snake Spear and Porcupine Douluo immediately took umbrage and said angrily:
"How dare you! Do you know our Miss's status?"
"To compare your paltry possessions to our Miss's, you truly don't know the heights of heaven and the depths of earth."
Qian Renxue gestured for the two to stop their conversation.
Her amethyst eyes looked intently at Luo Yu, her voice filled with aristocratic air.
"Their attitude may have been a little rough, but what they said was not wrong."
"I know you must have some savings, but there are not many people in this world who can compare their wealth to mine."
"You don't need to know who I am; you just need to name a price."
"To tell you the truth, I am quite fond of your play on the strings. I hope you can become one of us."
"As long as you name a price, I can afford it."
