261: News about the main drug

Du Linghui's appearance stirred up some unknown emotions in Yao Wu's heart.

She couldn't help but recall the other person's appearance and subconsciously compare herself to her.

Ultimately, she reached a conclusion.

Could it be that Zhou Dage likes them bigger there?

But Sister Lin Xi and the others seem quite normal.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Luo asked, seeing the little girl lost in thought.

"Oh... nothing, I just... thought Zhou Dage should have talent in Gu technique."

Yao Wu quickly snapped back to her senses and said hurriedly.

Zhou Luo nodded slightly.

Perhaps he really did have some talent in Gu technique, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to find his way through self-study.

As for being an Alchemist, he seriously doubted he had any talent, otherwise, after so long, he would still be completely clueless about Second-Order Pill Refining Technique.

The two discussed for a long time, and with Yao Wu, a mid grade Gu Master, answering his questions, many of Zhou Luo's problems were suddenly cleared up.

Indeed, the motivation for learning lies in progress.

If there was no progress at all, he definitely wouldn't have any interest in continuing.

It wasn't until the evening that Lin Xi thoughtfully asked Yao Wu to stay and eat together.

During dinner, Du Linghui, as a concubine, also appeared at the table.

Compared to the other three women who were composed, relaxed, and normal, she appeared somewhat reserved, even only picking up the dishes in front of her.

She knew her status as a concubine was very low, and although the other party gave her a good impression during the day, she still didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

During the meal, Lin Xi also inquired about Du Linghui's situation.

Through her narration, everyone learned why she had fallen to a place like Yaochi Pavilion.

And most importantly, it was actually related to the Lin Family.

This couldn't help but make Lin Xi feel a trace of apology in her heart, and her gaze towards her became softer.

Yao Wu thought of herself; compared to the other person, she was lucky.

Because Master at least left her a large mansion and quite a few Spirit Stone, so she didn't have to worry about living expenses in the short term.

But what about in the long run?

If she just sat around and did nothing, would she also fall to this point?

Yao Wu took a deep look at Zhou Luo.

Presumably, Zhou Dage wouldn't allow such a situation to happen.

But it's not like the other party could keep taking care of her; the other party had already done their utmost to reach this point.

This made her feel a bit lost.

As the only man present, Zhou Luo remained very calm about Du Linghui's plight.

This world is like this, the strong prey on the weak, and without strength, nothing is under your own control.

When the Wei Family asked for help earlier, if he hadn't chosen to assist them, the Wei Family women might have also fallen to this point.

In the final analysis, it's a matter of strength.

Zhou Luo's heart was calm as still water, he yearned for strength even more, and was even more grateful that he still had the behemoth that was the Lin Family.

By relying on the Lin Family, he should at least not have to worry about such problems occurring in this Qingyuan Domain.

The key is to first advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Only then is it possible to control the Lin Family.

At the dinner table, everyone had different thoughts.

It wasn't until the end of dinner that Du Linghui voluntarily cleared the dishes, and Yao Wu left.

"Linghui is also a pitiful person," Lin Xi said with emotion, sitting to Zhou Luo's left.

"So strength is king," Zhou Luo said in a deep voice.

Li Ying lowered her head silently upon hearing this.

Night fell.

Zhou Luo was meditating in his room, adjusting his breathing, and also studying the questions he had discussed with Yao Wu during the day.

Bang bang—

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Zhou Luo said calmly.

Soon after, Du Linghui, wearing a white gauze dress, entered the room with lowered eyes.

"Master, the Madam asked me to serve you a bath," she said softly, her voice still trembling slightly.

Because she knew very well what this meant.

Although she was mentally prepared, when the matter actually arrived, she still felt a bit apprehensive.

Zhou Luo raised his eyebrows slightly.

He did like taking baths; speaking of which, it was due to Body Cultivation.

Although as an Immortal, he had no impurities on his body, bathing was a form of enjoyment that could wash away fatigue and relieve the mind.

He wasn't the type of person who only knew how to cultivate arduously and climb upwards; with a long lifespan ahead, he had more Time to do other things.

For example, researching Gu technique, or for example, taking a bath...

He usually handled bathing himself, but since the other party was a concubine, it was indeed her turn to do these things.

Zhou Luo wasn't going to treat her differently or kindly just because of her tragic experience.

He had bought her with dozens of Mid-Grade Spirit Stone!

"Okay, you go first," Zhou Luo nodded.

Du Linghui quietly left.

A moment later, Zhou Luo came to a room on the second floor, where Du Linghui had already prepared the hot water.

Steaming white mist filled the room, giving it a feeling of a human paradise.

She stood obediently to the side, her cheeks flushing slightly, and only when Zhou Luo appeared did she step forward to help him undress.

After Zhou Luo revealed his strong and healthy skin, Du Linghui couldn't help but purse her lips, her eyes lingering on the well-defined muscles and his handsome face.

Perhaps it wasn't a bad thing to become his woman.

She calmed her emotions and began to untie her own dress.

Splash splash—

Accompanied by the sound of water, she entered the large bathtub with Zhou Luo, two hands as white as mutton-fat jade gently scrubbing his body.

Her gaze drifted, her eyes were hazy, and her face was flushed.

"Master..." she called out shyly.

Zhou Luo looked at her, his gaze falling on her chest, a Shimmer flickering in his eyes.

Hmm, it's a bit bigger than I imagined...

Then he leaned down.

Instantly, water splashed in the bathtub, which vibrated violently, and within the white mist, two figures intertwined...

...

The next morning, Zhou Luo walked out of his room, feeling refreshed.

As for Du Linghui, due to the night's exertion, she probably wouldn't be able to get up until noon.

As soon as he stepped out, a maid he had bought yesterday enthusiastically stepped forward and bowed: "Master, breakfast is ready."

Coming to the first floor, Lin Xi stroked her pregnant belly and looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "Where's Sister Linghui?"

"She's still sleeping," Zhou Luo sat at the large table and began to enjoy breakfast.

In the morning, Wang Lang came over.

Seeing that Zhou Luo had actually gone to Yaochi Pavilion and bought some maids and concubines, he was immediately envious.

"Alchemists are still richer than us Spiritual Talisman Masters," Wang Lang sighed.

As a Spiritual Talisman Master, he was already struggling to make ends meet just supporting the three women in his family, otherwise, he wouldn't be doing black market work.

"Is there news about Foundation Establishment Materials?"

This guy had been busy Talisman Crafting recently and basically had no Time to visit; he must have something important today.

Wang Lang blinked: "Brother Zhou is indeed prescient, there's news about the jade marrow mushroom."
