Chapter 8: Divine physique
Little Lily, clad in her usual vibrant purple qipao, approached Lu Zhen's training room with a mixture of nervousness and hesitation. Standing in front of the door, she pondered whether she should enter or not, her heart filled with uncertainty.
"Should I go in? What if I disturb the young master?" Little Lily's mind was filled with worry, her thoughts swirling in a whirlwind of anxiety.
"But what if something has happened to the young master? He hasn't come out of his room to eat all day," she pondered, her worry growing with each passing moment.
As an orphan adopted into the Lu family, her loyalty to Lu Zhen ran deep. She had relied on him and trusted him since a young age, and her entire world revolved around him. The thought of disappointing him or incurring his displeasure was frightening to her.
However, after taking a moment to gather her thoughts and muster up her courage, she made the decision to enter Lu Zhen's training room.
As she stepped into the room, her eyes widened at the sight before her. Lu Zhen was lying peacefully on the cold floor, as if he had fainted.
His little brother is still standing tall like a giant dragon as if ready to pierce the heavens itself even after a day.
Little Lily couldn't help but feel a rush of embarrassment as her gaze met his little brother. The towering little brother made little Lily's mind go haywire as dirty thoughts swirled in her mind.
At that moment, a cracking sound resonated from Lu Zhen's body, causing the entire room to vibrate. Slowly, he awakened from his sleep, feeling a surge of energy and vitality coursing through his veins. Filled with newfound power, he casually threw a punch.
Swoosh! Swish!
The sound of air being torn reverberated in the room as his fist sliced through the air causing a slight ripple effect as if the very air was being torn apart.
"Oh, what are you doing here, Lily?" Lu Zhen finally noticed Little Lily, who appeared lost in a daze. Her face turned as red as a ripe tomato, as she looked very cute to Lu Zhen's eyes.
"Young master... That..." Little Lily stammered, her voice filled with fluster. She pointed with a trembling finger, unable to meet Lu Zhen's gaze due to her overwhelming shyness.
When Lu Zhen saw Little Lily pointing her finger downward, he followed her gaze and realized that his little brother was in full view, standing erect and proud.
"You should prepare food for me. I'll be right outside," Lu Zhen managed to say with a poker face, trying to divert the attention away from his current predicament.
"Yes, young master." Little Lily replied hurriedly, her face still flushed with embarrassment. She hastily left the room.
Ignoring his embarrassing situation, Lu Zhen checked his status.

"Not bad. Not only has my body become stronger, but my lifespan has also increased. The Qi section, which was previously uninitiated, has now reached the first level although technically I am a third stage martial artist. However, the Qi in my body is still weak and insufficient, to the point where I cannot even be considered a third stage martial artist."
"However, my constitution has evolved into a divine physique. Is this a unique power system of my cheat or something else?"
Lu Zhen pondered for a moment, contemplating the mysteries of the system. However, he quickly dismissed those thoughts, realizing that there was no point in getting lost in futile speculation. As long as he continued to grow stronger, everything else would fall into place in due time.
With a decisive mindset, Lu Zhen left his room and made his way to the dining area and ate his dinner.
While Little Lily continued to blush and her cheeks remained flushed, she tried her best to compose herself in the presence of Lu Zhen. The embarrassment from their earlier encounter lingered, causing her heart to flutter whenever she caught a glimpse of him.
She kept her gaze lowered, avoiding direct eye contact with Lu Zhen. Her inner emotion was filled with a mixture of shyness and nervousness, making it difficult for her to find the right words to say.
Lu Zhen, oblivious to his little maids inner emotions kept eating his meal even if he knew he wouldn't care much.
As Lu Zhen consumed his meal, he couldn't help but notice that despite levelling up his Gluttony skill, the nourishing effects of the food felt insufficient. It seemed as though the energy provided by the food was like a mere drop in the vast ocean of his strength, barely causing a ripple. No matter how hard he tried to absorb every bit of energy, it felt meagre and unsatisfying.
"Seems like these meagre resources won't be enough for my progress. I need access to better resources if I want to accelerate my growth," Lu Zhen thought to himself.
"Let's go, little lily." Lu Zhen commanded Little Lily who still had a red face like a tomato.
With a decisive mindset, he left his residence, which resembled a grand palace in its own right, and made his way towards his mother's chambers. The Lu Mansion was a colossal structure, with each family descendant having their own mansion within the estate.
When the servants caught sight of Lu Zhen, their eyes widened in astonishment. The air around him seemed to crackle with an overwhelming aura, radiating a majestic and commanding presence.
The black robe, which was once loosely draped around Lu Zhen's frame, now clung tightly to his chiseled physique. The fabric strained against his well-defined muscles, accentuating every curve and bulge.
When the servants saw Lu Zhen, they were stunned by the imposing aura he emanated. But not forgetting their place, the servants quickly composed themselves and bowed respectfully.
"We greet the young master," they said in unison.
Lu Zhen gave a casual nod as he walked towards the wife's palace in the Lu family estate.
"Did you feel the young master's aura? It's incredibly powerful now," murmured one of the maids in awe.
"Yeah, I didn't even dare to breathe in his presence. That domineering aura is truly something," added another servant, her voice filled with reverence.
The servants murmured amongst themselves for a brief moment, but they soon returned to their duties.
Lu Zhen didn't find his mother in the wife's palace so he became confused where she could have gone.
Lu Zhen casually asked a guard, "Where is my mother?"
The guard felt a little nervous but still replied, "Young master, madam should be in the patriarch hall right now."
Lu Zhen nodded as he walked towards the most grand palace in the Lu family estate.
