Chapter 253: Luo Huo's Request
🕑 Added 2025-06-16 09:16:22 +0000 UTC“Thank me for a few things?”
Blake glanced at Luo Huo with surprise, and his eyes showed a look of understanding.
“Yes. The first thing is that Voban, as my mortal enemy, you were able to defeat him before becoming a Campione. This greatly enhanced our nation’s prestige and helped me, Luo Huo, a great deal.”
Luo Huo nodded, genuinely complimenting him.
“The second thing is that you unsealed the Great Sage, Sun Wukong, who was being controlled by Susanoo, and then defeated him honorably. That was also a great deed.”
“Third, the act of saving the world was truly magnificent. Your courage and strength make me, Luo Huo, admire you.”
“Hehe, to hear such praise from you is truly a pleasure.”
Seeing Luo Huo listing his deeds, Blake smiled and spoke. He didn't appear overly humble, as that would have been too fake. Furthermore, with Luo Huo's personality, she likely wouldn't appreciate someone who acted in that way.
“Blake, you truly have the demeanor of a king.”
As expected, upon seeing Blake's calm demeanor, Luo Huo’s expression softened. She smiled and praised him.
“By the way, since we are both kings, just call me Luo Huo.”
After a moment, Luo Huo seemed to recall something and spoke seriously.
“I understand. Please, another cup of tea.”
Upon hearing this, Blake nodded calmly and slowly passed his teacup over.
Luo Huo then skillfully poured the tea.
Looking at this scene, the two seemed almost like a married couple.
“Luo Huo, you must have other matters to discuss with me.”
After savoring the tea, Blake slowly raised his head and casually asked.
“Blake, you immediately saw through me. You truly deserve to be called the King who possesses both courage and wisdom.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Huo was momentarily stunned, then her eyes flickered as she spoke.
This made Blake slightly confused. This was his first time meeting Luo Huo, and she was being overly enthusiastic. She had been praising him non-stop, almost to the point of flattery...
“Actually, my other purpose is to ask you to take the position of the leader of the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains. I have been living in seclusion, and many matters have gone unattended. It’s irresponsible of me. Given your courage and wisdom surpass mine, I wish for you to take the position of leader.”
Then, Luo Huo spoke with a hint of guilt in her expression.
“Uh…”
Hearing this, Blake was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Luo Huo to be willing to abdicate. To be so frank about admitting she was inferior to him.
“For this matter, I must refuse.”
Coming back to his senses, Blake smiled wryly and waved his hand.
“Hmm? Why? Do you look down on the Sect?”
Luo Huo raised her finely shaped brows, her exquisite face showing a hint of solemnity as she asked.
“It’s not like that. I don’t live in seclusion like you do, and honestly, I cannot sit still in one place, nor do I like to hold power. Also, the people of the Sect are all highly skilled in martial arts, while my swordsmanship is the only thing I can really show. I’m clearly unqualified to be the leader.”
Blake spoke helplessly. He wasn't someone who could just stay in this world. How could he accept a power that would be a burden?
“I see. I overlooked that. You achieved such extraordinary accomplishments at such a young age. Your martial skills may not be perfect, but that’s a small flaw. How about this—let me teach you for a while. Although my martial arts can’t match yours Swordsmanship, I still have some achievements in that field.”
“As for the leader position, we’ll talk about it when you’ve learned enough. I won’t force you.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Huo’s imposing and solemn expression quickly faded. After a moment of thought, she raised her head and said.
“...If that’s the case, then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Blake was taken aback for a moment before smiling and nodding. Though Luo Huo's current strength couldn’t compare to his, when it came to martial arts, she was undoubtedly one of the top experts. Her martial skills were divine, and she was known as the Martial King.
His current strength was mainly derived from his own power and the support of divine artifacts. As far as martial arts went, he wasn’t exceptional, except for his swordsmanship, which he continued to improve every day. So, since Luo Huo was willing to teach him, there was no harm in it.

Task released
Within three months, have a “honeymoon night” with Luo Huo. Reward: 500 luck points.
PS: How could anyone resist such a beautiful and captivating queen? Master, unleash your perverse desires and claim her!
At that moment, a system notification rang in Blake’s mind, causing him to twitch his mouth and helplessly sigh.
“Blake, what’s wrong?”
Luo Huo, with her sharp eyes, naturally noticed Blake’s brief moment of odd behavior. She furrowed her brows in confusion and asked.
As for the way she addressed him, it seemed more natural, even becoming more affectionate. After all, in Luo Huo's eyes, even if they hadn't formally become master and disciple, Blake was her short-term disciple.
“It’s nothing. Just thinking of some private matters. Luo Huo, since you’re going to teach me martial arts, let’s start now. I’m really curious about the martial arts of the Martial King who stands at the peak of martial prowess.”
Blake, waking from his thoughts, shook his head and dismissed his distractions. He smiled and spoke, clearly eager to begin. As for how he addressed Luo Huo, he didn’t overthink it.
“Looks like you’re passionate about martial arts as well. That’s good.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Huo smiled beautifully and praised him.
“Just as you said, let’s not waste time.”
With that, Luo Huo gracefully stood up and walked toward the outside without a hint of hesitation.
Blake’s crystal-blue aura flickered slightly, and he followed her.
Learning martial arts would enhance his strength and abilities. Moreover, training together was the best time to increase his rapport with her, and he had to make sure to take full advantage of this opportunity. Otherwise, if he missed this period of time alone with her, it would be hard to figure out how to win over such a mysterious woman.
Moreover, living with the Martial King, this exquisite beauty, who was rarely seen by outsiders, was undoubtedly an enjoyable experience.
