🕑 Added 2025-06-16 09:15:04 +0000 UTC“Jiujiang City… It’s actually quite similar to the city from my previous life.”
Sitting in the black supercar, Blake couldn't help but mutter inwardly.
“Heh, King, you really are laid-back. Is this your first time in Jiujiang City?” Lu Yinghua, who was driving, noticed Blake’s odd expression through the mirror and said with a smile.
“Is it my first time in Jiujiang City… I suppose you could say so. I wanted to come before, but didn’t have the ability. I’m actually quite interested in Mount Lushan,” Blake said with a playful smile.
“Uh…” Hearing this, the car, which had been driving smoothly, suddenly swerved, as if reflecting the unease of the driver.
“As long as you're interested,” Lu Yinghua responded.
Unable to understand what Blake was thinking, Lu Yinghua could only shake his head and, after saying fell silent, driving on by himself.
After an unknown period of time, with a slight tremor from the car, it came to a stop.
“Have we arrived?”
Blake naturally felt the movement of the car, and he opened his eyes, gazing at the lush forest outside. He spoke calmly.
“Yes, we have arrived at Mount Lushan, the only mountain pass that leads to my master. Please follow me, Your Majesty.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yinghua quickly spoke humbly.
“Thank you for your trouble.”
Just as Blake nodded slightly in acknowledgment, suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted deep within Mount Lushan.
[Hoo—!]
Following this, a sky-reaching demonic wind appeared, sweeping away the dark clouds within a hundred miles, creating a scene of clear skies.
“Please do not be upset, this is my master’s way of welcoming guests.”
Seeing this scene, Lu Yinghua was momentarily stunned, and then, with a mischievous look, he spoke. It was his first time seeing his master use his powers to welcome someone.
Indeed, his master seemed to be quite interested in the Seventh King.
Lu Yinghua muttered to himself.
“It’s fine. Actually, the legendary Martial King being so warm makes me quite happy.”
Upon hearing this, Blake said with a gentle tone.
“It’s getting late. Please follow me, Your Majesty.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yinghua smiled and casually said this before leading the way with slow, measured steps.
Blake followed him with a leisurely attitude.
After crossing many mountain paths, in about ten minutes, the two arrived at an exceptionally beautiful place, with fresh, invigorating air, making one feel as if they were in a dream.
Here, there was a unique wooden house, making one think of a hermit’s residence, but anyone with some knowledge would know that this was not the residence of an immortal. This was the mysterious and legendary hideout of Luo Hao, the leader of the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains, known for being a Campione, powerful figure.
Ordinary people wouldn’t even have the right to come here. Even if someone accidentally saw the true face of Luo Hao, they would have their eyes gouged out and be thrown out.
“Well then, Your Majesty, this is as far as I go. Please enter alone. I will be leaving now.”
Looking at the wooden house ahead, Lu Yinghua’s mouth twitched slightly, and with a hint of fear, he said this before turning to run.
He was truly afraid of his master… Having been ‘taught’ by Luo Huo for over ten years, he had developed a severe aversion to women. It was truly pitiful; he was so handsome, but in the future, he would have to resort to relationships with men.
Glancing at Lu Yinghua’s retreating figure, Blake silently mocked in his mind.
He then leisurely walked toward the wooden house, arriving at the door. He knocked gently a few times.
[Knock knock knock~]
“The newly ascended King, welcome your arrival. The door is open, please come in.”
A voice came from inside, carrying both authority and immense deterrence, but it was extraordinarily clear and sweet, like a pleasant melody, leaving a feeling of delight.
[Creak~]
The door opened with a sound, and Blake raised an eyebrow as he calmly pushed the door open.
What greeted his eyes was the figure of a beautiful young woman sitting on a small wooden chair.
She was a girl whose beauty could truly be described as “unparalleled.”
The girl had jet-black hair and wore a Hanfu. Over the Hanfu, she wore an outer garment with long sleeves and a long hem, fluttering like a long skirt. It resembled a kimono but had an ethereal and transcendent aura that no kimono could have.
If one had to describe it, it was like the attire of an immortal.
And the girl wearing this ethereal and exquisite outfit had beauty that could certainly be called “immortal.”
As Blake took in her appearance, she gently parted her lips, and once again, the melodious, pleasant voice echoed around them.
“Newly ascended King, this place is simple and humble, and I haven’t prepared properly. I hope you’ll forgive me.”
Though her voice was sweet and clear, the black-haired, extraordinarily beautiful girl emitted an aura of authority and dominance, making it impossible for anyone to feel angry.
“It’s nothing. As a king, it doesn’t matter where I am, I don’t have high expectations for these things. By the way, since we are both kings, let’s address each other by name. You may call me Blake.”
Blake casually entered, sitting across from Luo Huo. He gently picked up the teacup that had just been prepared and was still emitting a faint warmth, saying calmly.
“I see. Your philosophy is surprisingly similar to mine. I’m impressed. You are indeed worth praising, Blake.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Huo showed a slight smile, looking at Blake with admiration, directly calling his name. Luo Huo was not a petty woman.
“Perhaps… Oh, this tea is truly delicious.”
In response to Luo Huo’s compliment, Blake gave her an odd look. Clearly, she had misunderstood his intentions. He meant that he didn’t care about material life, not that he was completely indifferent like Luo Huo. However, Blake didn’t explain, merely sipping the tea and giving praise.
This was not a lie; after two hundred years of seclusion, Luo Huo’s skills in martial arts and tea-making were at the peak. Even Zhu Nai couldn’t compare.
“Hehe, I, Luo Huo, am quite confident in my tea-making skills.”
Luo Huo smiled confidently and said with a calm and imposing expression after hearing Blake’s praise.
In response, Blake merely smiled without comment, not constrained at all. He didn’t show any inappropriate expression despite her beauty. He simply enjoyed his tea with an unperturbed demeanor.
This, in turn, greatly increased Luo Huo’s admiration for Blake.
“Although I once thought of searching for you myself, I swore that I would not leave the mountain unless absolutely necessary. So, I hope you’ll forgive me. The reason I wanted to meet you this time is to thank you for a few things.”
After Blake had finished his tea in the harmonious atmosphere, Luo Huo’s expression grew serious, and with sincere gratitude, she spoke.
