Level Up in Martial World

As Lu Zhen entered the room where the twins were, an unexpected silence fell upon them, almost as if the earlier quarrel had never occurred. Lu Zhen found this situation somewhat amusing.

"Brother Lu, about the..." Lu Zhi began, but Lu Zhen swiftly cut him off.

"Alright, since I've given you my word, I will help you," Lu Zhen stated and turned to leave the room, leaving both Lu Zhi and Lu Qiang stunned by his sudden decision.

"Brother lu, we apologize for troubling you, but the danger we're facing is quite grave. If you were to just..." Lu Zhi's words trailed off, as he refrained from uttering the latter part of his sentence, wary of offending Lu Zhen without cause.

In essence, Lu Zhi was trying to convey that he believed Lu Zhen might not be capable of resolving their predicament alone and that they were seeking his assistance primarily due to his influential status.

Lu Zhen understood this perfectly. From an outsider's perspective, they only knew he had recently entered the martial realm. Yet, the truth remained hidden – his actual combat prowess matched that of a peak third stage martial artist.

Nobody was aware of this fact; even Jiang Xue, who believed he was merely a third stage martial artist, couldn't fathom that Lu Zhen's raw physical strength could rival that of a peak third stage martial artist.

The desperation with which they sought his help wasn't solely due to Lu Zhen himself, but rather the status and prestige associated with his identity as the heir of the Lu family.

Based on the story Lu Zhi had recounted, Lu Zhen deduced they were facing trouble with a group of bandits in their wine business.

Although they were abandoned members of the Lu family, the Lu family's reputation alone was often sufficient to deter even third stage martial artists from taking action. So their opponent was not simple.

"Do these bandits have a second stage martial artist among them?" Lu Zhen inquired.

"To our knowledge, they do not, Brother," Lu Zhi responded respectfully, although a hint of confusion lingered in his expression.

Lu Zhen felt slightly more assured upon hearing this, yet he remained cautious. After all, he wouldn't jeopardise his safety for the sake of others. So he changed his mind as he wanted to maximise his benefits now.

"Get me 100 jars of monkey wine," Lu Zhen demanded, his thoughts shifting as he realized the potential benefits he could gain even if he took advantage of the situation.

Lu Zhi was surprised by the request. "Brother Lu, I only have 30 jars of wine. How can I provide you with 100?"

"Then give me those 30 jars, and you'll owe me the equivalent of 70 jars' worth of monkey wine," Lu Zhen declared, his voice carrying a domineering tone. His aura expanded, filling the room, causing both twins to feel uneasy.

While Lu Zhi appeared less affected, his twin sister, Lu Qiang, started to visibly sweat under the pressure.

"Alright, I agree to your terms, Brother Lu," Lu Zhi conceded, as he gritted his teeth and agreed although with some hesitation.

Though Lu Zhen was aware that his actions might seem like taking advantage of them, he dismissed the concern. To him, it was a fair exchange.

As for Lu Zhi and Lu Qiang, they accepted the agreement, despite lingering bitterness. Unlike Lu Zhen, who had grown up in a modern society, they had been toughened by the harsh reality of the martial world.

The world itself isn't fair, and they both knew it all too well.

"Alright, let's gather some intel first," Lu Zhen said as he left, accompanied by the twins.

However, upon exiting, before he could take another step, he spotted little Lily.

"Young master, where are you going? Take me with you," Little Lily said, her tone tinged with uncertainty as she glanced at the twins behind him.

"No, Lily, you should stay here. I will be back soon," Lu Zhen reassured her, approaching Lily and planting a kiss on her lips.

As his lips met Lily's, a gentle sensation spread through him, prompting him to pry open her lips. With a little aggressive movement, he ventured into the embrace of her lips, his tongue engaging in a delicate dance of exploration. The intertwining of their mouths created an intimate connection. The softness of her lips against his, the warmth of her breath mingling with his own.

Although little Lily resisted it at first eventually she stopped resisting as she also became more aggressive.

Soon, they both engaged in a passionate kiss, ignoring the twins who watched with embarrassment.

Lu Zhen thoroughly explored her mouth, getting engrossed in the kiss.

Finally, after a while, they separated as Lu Zhen noticed that little Lily was almost out of breath.

As they parted, Lily let out a gentle cough, her face flushed with a mix of emotions. Recovering her breath, her cheeks turned a shade of crimson, a visible manifestation of the intense moment they had shared.

"Young master, you are bullying me," Lily exclaimed, her embarrassment evident as she quickly averted her gaze and hurriedly ran.

Lu Zhen felt a sense of satisfaction seeing this. After all, he hadn't forgotten about what she had done earlier, and now he had shown her what he could do.

Lily, as she moved away from the twins' presence, Lily felt dampness on her lower half which caused her face to turn even more red before she hurriedly changed her clothes.

Lu zhen knew about her aroused state but he didn't say much about it.

"Cough! Cough!!"

Lu Zhen coughed, noticing the twins standing there in a daze.

"Haven't you seen a man having some fun with his woman?" Lu Zhen said, a slightly disatisfied expression on his face.

Hearing Lu Zhen's stern tone, the twins finally snapped out of their daze.

"Brother Lu, I was just surprised…" Lu Zhi hurriedly replied. Lu Qian remained silent, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Lu Zhi felt a bit like an inexperienced youth* upon witnessing the passionate kiss. At his age, he had encountered numerous things, but the intensity of the kissing scene caught him off guard, as he had never before witnessed such an erotic display before.

Lu Qian was too flustered to form coherent thoughts. Her cheeks were crimson, and she kept her head lowered in embarrassment.

"Now let's get into our business."
