Chapter 114 Lu Yanyu's Feelings
" Well, You know Medicinal Hall is technically a resources burning section. However, It's also an essential part of any powerhouse." Meng Zhi looked at Long Ming and spoke.
"In terms of consumption, the medicinal pill is first, followed up by talismans and charms. After all, whether it's improving cultivation or stabilizing it, healing the injuries, or removing the toxins, the medicinal pills are something cultivators can't stop having.
Therefore, even if Medicinal Hall consumes tremendous manpower and resources, its value is much higher than you think.
Long Ming looked at Meng Zhi as his eyes narrowed. " I believe in the glorious time of Four Seasons Valley, there was no shortage of pills. Why did the Medicinal Hall fall so much?"
" Well, First of all, the lack of talent." Meng Zhi spoke in a light voice. " As you know, people of Eastern Province already think that Four Seasons Valley is a dying horse."
" The influx of new disciples has decreased in the past hundred years. I think if you see, there are only over a hundred outer disciples and more than fifty Inner Disciples inside the sect."
" And most of these disciples are only focusing on improving their cultivation. Only a few of them were studying alchemy in the Medicinal Hall."
" Therefore, Our sect could mass produce pills till Violet Palace Expansion Realm. Other than that, we are relying on other powers for pills in exchange for our medicinal herbs."
Long Ming understood what Meng Zhi meant. After all, without enough manpower, If Elder Liang sat in front of the pill cauldron all day and refined pills, she might not be able to meet the needs of Four Seasons Valley.
Four Seasons Valley also has its medicinal fields. However, without alchemists refining medicinal herbs, they can only use them to exchange for the pills.
'It looks like I have to visit the Medicinal Hall by myself. Let's see if I can improve anything.'
" So, Little Brother, that's all?" Meng Zhi grinned. " I don't know why you are suspicious of Elder Liang, However, I don't think you could be swayed by any baseless rumor."
" Don't worry, Sister Meng." Long Ming shook his head. " Unless I find any concrete evidence, I won't do anything reckless."
" That's good to hear, Little Brother" Meng Zhi smiled. " Ah… I think I took too much time. Someone is really eager to see you."
" Although I really wish to spend tonight with you, There is someone else who needs you more. Hehe, Since that's the case, I shall go."
" Huh? Sister Meng, Wait!"
Loing Ming became confused when he heard that. However, he suddenly saw two servant ladies coming toward him as they bowed, " Young Master if you have some time, Lady Lu wishes to meet you."
" Lu Yanyu?" Long Ming nodded as he followed them.
Lu Yanyu's room was spacious, almost like a noble lady's bedroom. It was neat and clean, with a faint fragrance of flowers and amber.
" Miss Lu, I heard you wished to talk with me?" Long Ming chuckled as he took his seat. " Why are you sitting behind the curtain?"
Long Ming could only see a shadow of Lu Yanyu's body behind a thin curtain. He could see the outline of Lu Yanyu's body, who was sitting beside her table and holding a zither.
" Young Master, Why didn't you come here after the Flower Boat Festival?"
" Huh?"
Long Ming was startled when he heard the question of Lu Yanyu.
After the Flower Boat Festival, he officially joined the Four Seasons Valley and didn't have much time to come to the Eternal Spring Tower.
" Well, I am sorry, Miss Lu. I just got busy and running errands here and there." Long Ming spoke with an honest voice.
" Young Master Long, Do you remember what I promised to you when the Flower Boat Festival began?"
" Huh?"
Suddenly, Long Ming's pupils widened when he heard Lu Yanyu. His memory was pretty good when it comes to remembering beauties. And, now he remembered, Lu Yanyu said she was going to do anything for him if she beat the Blissful Heaven Temple.
Suddenly, the curtains lifted as Lu Yanyu's figure was revealed before Long Ming. Long Ming took a sharp breath when he saw Lu Yanyu, who stood before him, holding a guqin.
She wore a soft, lilac colored silk dress. The dress was like several silk patches hung around her body, swaying in the wind and revealing Lu Yanyu's fair skin beneath them.
The silk skirt only hid a few inches below her waist, fluttering in the wind and tempting to show the spring scenery behind it. The bra was almost nonexistent, as Long Ming could see through the translucent silk cover, her dress barely left anything to imagine.
Her veil was made with the finest silk, and Long Ming could see her beautiful lips behind it. Rather than hiding Lu Yanyu's face, it added even more charm to her beauty.
She took light steps as her body moved, her fingers crossed the strings of guqin. The melody was like the rippling water of a flowing river, it contained the emotions and feelings of Lu Yanyu.
Lu Yanyu's body swayed like a curtain of silk dancing in the wind of spring. Her waist swayed as the light golden chain around her skirt tinkled. Her body moved around around Long Ming as she tried to enrapture him.
Long Ming felt a gentle breeze of the fragrance of flowers and wine as the room was covered with a faint mist. The mist seemed to highlight Lu Yanyu's beauty, making her more charming and alluring.
Lu Yanyu's steps paused as she looked at Long Ming with her dreamy gaze. Her red lips moved, and her voice was no less than the tune she played.
" Young Master, How was that?"
Long Ming looked at Lu Yanyu as he smiled. " You really put a lot of effort into this, didn't you?"
" Why not?" Lu Yanyu spoke with a light smile. " I need to do my best to please you after all."
" Please me, hm…" A smile appeared on Long Ming's lips as he looked at Lu Yanyu.
" Then you succeeded, Miss Lu. I am really pleased by your performance."
Lu Yanyu's eyes brightened when she heard that. She leaned forward and looked at Long Ming. " Thank you, Young Master Long. I am really happy that my meager performance pleased you."
Long Ming gulped a mouthful of saliva when she saw Lu Yanyu leaning at him, her face was right before her lips and he could smell her body fragrance.
" Ummm…Miss Lu…"
" Call me Yanyu."
" Uh… So, Yanyu… Why did you want to meet me?"
"Haven't you already guessed, Young Master?" Lu Yanyu's lips parted as it turned into a seductive arc.
" You didn't return after Flower Boat Festival. I couldn't reward you for your help. But now, Since we are here… I should fulfill my promise."
Suddenly, She grabbed Long Ming's palm and pulled him toward her.
" What is it, Young Master? Don't you desire me? Am I not attractive enough?" Lu Yanyu's voice sounded like a complaint.
" Shall I wear those naked aprons? Or those cat girl ears and tail? You like those things, right?"
Long Ming was speechless when he heard Lu Yanyu. " I… I like them. But, I feel you are kinda forcing yourself…"
" Who said I am forcing myself?!" Lu Yanyu spoke with a little anger and embarrassment." I mean, I was already prepared after the Flower Boat Festival. However, you went to those four instead of coming to my chambers."
" I was too shy at that time. I thought I would ask you next time when you will come. However, you didn't come."
" Why is it, Young Master? Don't you like me?"
Long Ming scratched his head when he heard that. " Well, It's not that. I just… I just felt it wouldn't be right if I took advantage of you back then."
" But what now? I am… I am allowing it." Lu Yanyu bit her lips as her tone became low and shy.
Long Ming looked at Lu Yanyu as his expression finally turned playful. After all, since someone delivered food right into his mouth, it would be rude to reject it.
Lu Yanyu gasped when she felt Long Ming's arms wrapped around her waist.
" My, I am really sorry, Yanyu, for not accepting your feelings earlier. I guess I need to compensate you for that." Long Ming grinned, his gaze locked with the clear eyes of Lu Yanyu.
Before Lu Yanyu could say anything, she felt her lips being sealed with Long Ming's lips as he kissed her with utmost passion.
" Mmmnnnn"
Lu Yanyu created many plans in her mind. However, the moment Long Ming kissed her, she felt her body melting into Long Ming's embrace.
Not to mention, tasting Long Ming's lips, she felt a strange flame igniting her body, breaking any sort of mental resistance.
" Haah….Haahhh… Young Master, Please take me…"
