Chapter 126 Bibi Dong: I'm not love-struck! Poseidon is!
In this world where the strong rule, having multiple wives and concubines is commonplace.
But Poseidon could not accept being deceived!
I can't accept that I've been acting like a fool, holding onto a false promise and waiting for over a hundred years!
What do you take her for?
Are they playthings that come when summoned and go when dismissed?
The group chat was filled with insults.
[Little Witch: Holy crap! That's disgusting! Tang Chen is the ultimate scumbag!]
[The most innocent fox: I was so moved, but it turns out he's this kind of person. I feel so sorry for Poseidon.]
[Poison Fairy: The Tang family is indeed all bad, and Tang San is no better. Like father, like son!]
Even Xiao Wu, who had previously spoken up for Tang San, dared not utter a word at this moment.
This is impossible to wash.
They already have great-grandchildren, what's the point of talking about pure love?
[Your Holiness: It really is a ghost story! Hahaha! @I don't have a mother, do you have anything to say?]
Bibi Dong was practically laughing hysterically.
Seeing that another peerless expert met the same fate, she instantly felt much better.
[I Don't Have a Mother: ...That's definitely a ghost story. Looks like Poseidon, just like you, is hopelessly infatuated with love. I really don't know how such foolish creatures as those with love-struck minds can exist in this world?]
[Your Holiness: I'll say it again, don't call me love-struck! Call me Your Holiness!!! (shouting)]
...
The night was as dark as ink. In the small courtyard behind Blue Tyrant Academy, the moonlight sparsely filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Lu Ming lay on the rattan chair. His actions in the group chat had completely shattered the worldview of that so-called High Priest of the Sea God.
However, we can't blame him for this; that's just how it is, and a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
It's for Poseidon's own good to see Tang Chen's true colors as soon as possible.
Just then, a light footstep sound came from behind.
There was no deliberate attempt to conceal his aura; on the contrary, it carried a hint of laziness and casualness.
Lu Ming turned his head slightly and saw Zhu Zhuqing walking towards him along the path.
She had clearly just taken a bath; her long, flowing hair was still slightly damp and casually draped over her shoulders.
She was wearing a black silk nightgown, the fabric clinging to her body and perfectly outlining her breathtaking curves.
Moonlight shone on her profile, and her usually aloof eyes now seemed to hold a pool of spring water, losing some of their usual unapproachability and gaining a touch of allure.
Why are you here?
Lu Ming asked casually, but his gaze lingered on the undulating curve for a moment before he casually looked away.
Zhu Zhuqing did not answer immediately, but instead walked with her long legs to the rattan chair.
A faint, delicate fragrance wafted over, not the vulgar scent of cosmetics, but a natural fragrance like morning dew mixed with orchids, which entered the nostrils and made one's heart flutter.
At the same time, the chat group notification sounded in Lu Ming's mind.
[Ding! Group owner Lu Tiandi has successfully exposed Tang Chen's scumbag behavior, causing a strong emotional reaction among group members and earning a reward.]
[Reward 1: Increase the age of all Soul Rings by 5,000 years.]
[Reward Two: Divine Artifact, Water-Repelling Bead.]
[Reward Three: Physique, Nine Heavens Exquisite Body.]
The reward has been credited to your account.
Lu Ming felt a slight surge of joy in his heart, but remained outwardly calm.
He could clearly feel a warm current appear out of nowhere in his limbs and bones, which was the feedback brought about by the increase in the age of his soul ring.
His original spirit ring configuration was already astonishing, and now that all his spirit rings have been upgraded for another five thousand years, his power has increased exponentially.
Lu Ming's consciousness swept across the system space, where a bead emitting a soft blue light floated quietly.
Water-repellent beads.
As long as you possess this bead, you can walk on flat ground in the deep sea, ignore water pressure, and even breathe freely.
This is a godsend for our upcoming plan to hunt soul beasts on Seagod Island or in the deep sea.
Finally, there's the so-called "Nine Heavens Exquisite Overlord Body".
As this constitution merged, Lu Ming felt as if a tingling electric current was flowing through his skin.
This feeling comes and goes quickly, but the changes inside the body are earth-shattering.
The meridians became wider and stronger, and the internal organs seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.
He could feel that his resistance to various elements such as ice, fire, and poison in the surrounding environment had increased to a terrifying level in that instant.
Even if a Poison Douluo of Dugu Bo's caliber were to personally release the poison, it probably wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.
More importantly, this constitution also comes with the characteristic of greatly improving immune control and significantly enhancing comprehension.
Is this the joy of chat groups?
With just a few words, the things that everyone in the Douluo Continent dreams of can be obtained effortlessly.
"..."
Lu Ming was mentally planning his next move.
Their current strength is already a game-changer among the younger generation.
Even when facing the older generation of powerful figures, except for those titled Douluo, he was not afraid at all.
First, the seventh spirit ring must be put on the agenda. Now that we have the Water-Repelling Pearl, our target is naturally the ocean.
There are more resources there than on land, and there are quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
Second, the champion of the Soul Master Competition.
This is not just for honor, but also for the reward of those few soul bones, and to humiliate Shrek Academy in front of the entire continent.
Thinking of this, the blood and qi within Lu Ming's body, which had become somewhat restless due to the surge in his strength, couldn't help but surge.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the agitation.
Standing to the side, Zhu Zhuqing kept her cat-like eyes fixed on Lu Ming.
She keenly sensed the instantaneous change in Lu Ming's aura.
Just a moment ago, the oppressive aura emanating from Lu Ming caused even her martial spirit to tremble slightly.
"This guy has gotten stronger again?"
Zhu Zhuqing was secretly alarmed.
Even though everyone lives in the same courtyard, and Lu Ming doesn't seem to be cultivating with any particular effort, his strength is rising like a rocket, making it completely incomprehensible to others.
Seeing Lu Ming's slightly rapid breathing and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Zhu Zhuqing's lips curled into a beautiful smile.
She wasn't the kind of naive girl.
She could roughly guess the reason for this surging of blood and qi.
They say no, but their actions tell a different story.
It seems my charm does have an effect on him.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't point it out. Instead, she bent down, placed her hands on her knees, and brought her exquisitely beautiful face close to Lu Ming's.
The distance between the two instantly closed, so close that Lu Ming could even count her long eyelashes.
The neckline drooped slightly, and that patch of snow-white skin was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
