Chapter 194 194. Sister, I believe in you!
Early in the morning, Li Pei rarely sat in front of the dressing table to get ready.
The beauty in the mirror had short hair, equal in length to her ears, clean and lazy, which was very special in this era.
Her stern phoenix eyes carried a hint of spring mood, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eyes made her incredibly alluring.
Li Pei always wore very tight-fitting clothes, which made her stand out.
Yu Yanmei lay on the bed, watching her disciple with a spring-like face with an amused expression, clicking her tongue, "Are you going to give Lu Yao a massage today?"
"Mhm~" Li Pei put on a pair of earrings, the clear and lustrous jade accentuating the subtlety of a woman's charm to perfection.
Yu Yanmei suddenly asked, "Peipei, is it Lu Yao you like, or 'Lu TaiXi'?"
Li Pei turned to look at her master, understanding her meaning.
She was asking if Li Pei liked Lu Yao as a person or if she simply wanted to find a young Spirit Refining Genius.
She answered with a smile, "I have a very good impression of Young Master Lu. He is generous and has donated food many times; his talent in Spirit Refinement is admirable! Plus he's witty and gentle. I'm very satisfied with him!"
Yu Yanmei lay sprawled on her disciple's bed, muttering, "The standard choice of a royal lady for a husband—no love, no feeling, no fun."
"Master, Young Master Lu is really great, having such a husband is both substantial and prestigious. Returning to the capital, who knows how many will be envious."
Li Pei believed that a dignified and supportive husband like Lu Yao was simply perfect.
As for the lack of feelings, that could be cultivated slowly, anyway Lu Yao was not someone she disliked.
At that moment, she was fully adorned, and one could see a stunning woman in a Western-style dress standing elegantly tall.
Yu Yanmei's eyes flashed with admiration. Her disciple's looks, figure, and demeanor were all top-notch choices. It was indeed a bargain for that Lu Xiaozi.
But then she remembered something and reminded her, "Your original fiancé—Xiang Cheng, still can't swallow his pride and wants revenge. His father is not easy to deal with, and he also has the Einheit title. You must be careful."
Li Pei's face showed disgust, "Let Einheit win the war first before we talk."
~~~~~~~
The newspapers now clearly knew what readers wanted to see, and they were filled with reports on the war.
Even though many Western Countries were fighting, the focus was on England, France, and Germany.
Lu Yao sat in the pavilion flipping through the papers, exclaiming in surprise, "Damn, Frandi has already had a hundred thousand deaths!?"
The paper read:
[The Frandi infantry wore very noticeable red jackets and blue trousers, while officers had even more striking black and gold uniforms. In the majestic sounds of "La Marseillaise", they launched an attack on Jiade as if they were in a parade.]
[The result was predictable. In the face of Jiade's artillery fire, Frandi suffered over 100,000 casualties in just 3 days. The exact number is not yet available, but informed sources reveal it has exceeded 150,000!]
[Up to now, Einheit has lost 20,000 people, and Jiade has lost 50,000 people.]
Lu Yao marveled, "These powers fight so fiercely! How could so many die?"
He soon found the answer, upon seeing a photo of the trenches in the newspaper, filled with dead soldiers holding their own necks with tongues sticking far out.
"Poison Gas? No wonder... It appeared two years early, but that's normal, since vampires have been researching it."
Lu Yao sighed, then saw other pictures in the newspaper, amazingly of various tanks, including the Reynold tank and Jiade's "Experimental vehicle".
The early tanks looked very strange, like a loaf of bread that had been stepped on, but they were indeed genuine killing machines.
Lu Yao frowned, "It looks like these are just test models on the battlefield, but the powers will soon realize how useful these things are."
"But this development is too rapid..."
At that moment, Lu Yao just flipped to a photo of a technician repairing a tank.
The technician, covering his face and mouth, with notably sharp ears, was indeed a vampire.
Lu Yao's mind flashed with realization, and he immediately understood, "That's right, vampires have extremely long lifespans, even the lowest ranking ones can live for 200 years!
They have more time to learn and accumulate knowledge, so their scientific and technological progress is also faster!
Through this war, the demon beasts will master more efficient and brutal methods of slaughter!"
Originally, after reaching the Fetal Breath realm, Lu Yao was somewhat inflated with pride due to the praise he received, but at this moment, he completely snapped out of it.
"I can't be satisfied yet, I must continue to get stronger! Bringing in more powerful weapons from Blue Star, only by doing so can I 'live happily ever after'."
"Living happily ever after" was Liao Qe's wish. As a man, it was his duty to fulfill his woman's wishes!
At this time, the clever Su Er Ya hurried over and respectfully said, "Uncle Master, the Commandery Princess is here."
Lu Yao was very fond of this sensible and well-behaved little apprentice niece, and with a smile, he said, "Invite her to the guest room. Oh right~ Inform your master as well."
Er Ya bowed and quickly left with nimble steps.
Because of the excessive number of messy guests, Jin Garden had already closed its doors to visitors.
Currently, Su Er Ya was responsible for receiving all visitors, honing her ability to interact with people.
The little girl was already 10 years old, and due to her unique experiences, she appeared much more mature than her actual age.
~~~~~~~~
Liao Ya's expression grew stern upon hearing her disciple's report.
Knowing the Commandery Princess's intentions, she quickly found her younger sister and said, "Sister Li is here for a massage, go keep an eye on her."
Liao Qe, who had just advanced to the Marrow-Cleansing Realm and was practicing her punches to stabilize her realm, asked in confusion, "Keep an eye on her? Keep an eye on what exactly?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liao Ya's expression faltered and she hesitatedly said, "I mean... uh... Lu Yao is a Fetal Breath expert, aren't you afraid someone might snatch him away?"
"You mean—a seduction plot! That's right! Some of the visitors who came before brought women with them!"
Liao Qe suddenly realized the situation and was just about to go act as a "third wheel" when she abruptly stopped halfway.
"Sister, what if the Commandery Princess isn't that kind of person, wouldn't we be unfairly suspicious? How about this, you keep an eye on her! Your close relationship with the Commandery Princess makes it perfectly reasonable for you to be there."
Stay connected with empire
Liao Qe grabbed her sister's hand earnestly and said, "Sister, I trust you. Please take good care of Lu Yao for me!"
Liao Ya, seeing her sister's sincere, innocent eyes like those of a fawn, felt suddenly ashamed. She forced a smile and said, "Don't worry."
~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao was leading Li Pei to the guest room, frequently casting glances at the Commandery Princess as they walked.
She usually wore a female suit, but today, she was dressed in a tight-fitting white top.
It beautifully accentuated her figure due to the thin, clinging fabric, and as a martial artist, the tightness didn't make her look sloppy—her shape was perfect!
Lu Yao subconsciously wondered: I wonder what it feels like to the touch.
As they walked briskly, Lu Yao casually commented on the current intense power struggles between the major powers, "Although Jiade's offensive is fierce, it still falls short of the 'never-setting sun' of Einheit, and I'm not optimistic about it."
Li Pei smiled in agreement, "Young Master Lu makes a lot of sense."
Upon entering the guest room, Li Pei boldly took off her top, revealing her full, fair upper body as smooth as cream.
She was left in only an about-to-burst brassiere, with not a trace of shyness or awkwardness on her face.
Lying on the bed, she unhooked her bra from behind and said with an unabashed smile,
"I'll trouble you, Young Master Lu."
