Necropolis Immortal
chapter-2172-2

This Lu Yun is incredibly strong… He’s very different from what the stories say, but his style is a perfect match. A sharp light glinted in Yang Qing’s eyes as he made certain calculations.

“What about me?” Lu Yun sniffed. “Stand over there like good little boys if you don’t want to be my pet!”

“Good, very good!” laughed the young master dressed in traditional clothing. “Adversity from the heavens can be accepted, but mishaps of one’s own making cannot be endured! I, Wen Qiushui, would like to see how you’d turn me into a human pet!”

“Are you sure you want to be my pet?” Lu Yun glanced at Fengxian Wu. “Miss Feng, we should have a good time on your first visit to the Beast Colosseum. How about I give these three and their guards to you as pets?”

“Very well,” Fengxian Wu smiled. Although her face was covered by a veil, the young masters—including Yang Qing—paused in a daze. “But I can’t be bothered to catch them myself. You do it for me, Lu Yun,” she giggled.

A wry smile spread across Lu Yun’s face—and it wasn’t an act. He was confident against golden core opponents, but nascent soul would be difficult without using the Petrification art. Not to mention, each of the three were accompanied by two guards that were also nascent soul. He could handle one or two of them, but would be able to do nothing other than run if all six mobbed him at the same time.

The three glared with livid expressions, but didn’t dare refute Fengxian Wu. She’d defeated a dozen nascent soul cultivators by herself, including latter nascent soul powerhouses. None of them were a match for her.

“Lu Yun, I recommend you release Sir Cloudexit and apologize properly to him. Otherwise, your two servants will become my human pets,” came another voice at this time.

A handsome young man dressed in long blue robes walked in with two followers. Each of them carried a person in their hands.

“Ouyang Shengtian?” Lu Yun raised an eyebrow, then swiftly regained his calm. His men were carrying an unconscious Lu Xuan and Lan’er. “It looks like you want to die, Ouyang Shengtian.”

“Oh?” The Ouyang young master hauled Lan’er in front of him. “This He Lan’er is General He Wuheng’s daughter, isn’t she? Oh, he’s your family servant now after stepping down from his post. Isn’t he a loyal one? If you want Lan’er to live, you will release Sir Cloudexit. That would be good for both of us.

“And Miss Feng Wu, I recommend you to not do anything. Since I’ve come here with the two of them, it naturally means that I’m fully prepared.” Ouyang Shengtian glanced at Fengxian Wu.

She did indeed want to spring into action as she was good friends with Lan’er and wouldn’t stand to see her friend in these straits.

Smack!

A crisp face slap jarred everyone out of their thoughts. The pitiful Cloudexit had suffered another heavy blow. Being frozen by a talisman, the brooding young lord couldn’t move or talk.

“Let them go,” Lu Yun demanded.

Ouyang Shengtian paused, shocked.

Smack!

“Let them go!”

“You…”

Smack!

“Let them go!”

……

Everyone’s jaw dropped. It was incredible that Lu Yun would act like this! One slap after another rained down on Cloudexit’s face. He suffered a dozen slaps in short order and his handsome face turned as swollen as a pig’s head.

“I will kill Xu Chuyun if you don’t let them go. All of it will be the Ouyang Clan’s fault then,” Lu Yun paused and sneered at Ouyang Shengtian.

Cloudexit was still conscious despite suffering a dozen hearty slaps. He glared at Ouyang Shengtian with eyes of fire. Why would he be suffering such humiliation if it wasn’t for this kid interfering?!

No one really thought that Lu Yun would use him as a human pet, including Yang Qing. Whoever dared put their beast in a ring with Sir Cloudexit was looking to die. And even if Lu Yun really did lose his mind, Yang Qing wouldn’t dare bet against him!

Dark Orchid’s enemy nation would be very careful to avoid doing so. Something seemingly inconspicuous could cause war to break out between the two sides. No one could afford such consequences, and Xu Chuyun most certainly occupied that kind of status in his father’s heart.

But now, Lu Yun had been goaded into smacking Cloudexit again and again. Ouyang Shengtian was furious and subconsciously looked at Xu Chuyun, but didn’t release Lan’er.

Ouyang Shengtian wants to force my hand. No wonder he put on this show today, he’s the one behind everything. The thought flashed through Lu Yun’s mind and he chuckled, “What, are you still not releasing them, Ouyang Shengtian? Are you trying to force me into killing Xu Chuyun?”

Terror appeared on Cloudexit’s face.

“Hurry up and let them go!” Lin Qi frowned and shouted.

Ouyang Shengtian remained unmoving and stared frostily at Lu Yun. “I don’t think you have it in you to kill Sir Cloudexit.”

“Heh heh heh,” Lu Yun chuckled. “You don’t believe me? Then let me show you!”

He raised his hand, drawing horrified expressions from Lin Qi, Wen Qiushui, and Luo Hongfei. But before they could move, Lu Yun reached back with his hand and scratched his head.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a joke,” he smirked.

The group felt like they were on the verge of heart attacks. This kid… truly had no limits!

“But it does seem that Ouyang Shengtian would be very happy to see me kill Sir Cloudexit…” Lu Yun continued calmly.

Ouyang Shengtian’s expression shifted, yet he remained blithely unconcerned. “Sir Cloudexit is noble and lofty, you are but the young master of country bumpkins. Hurry up and release him!”

“Country bumpkins? Noble and lofty?” Lu Yun shook his head and stomped on Xu Chuyun’s back, kicking him to the ground and resting one foot on his head.

“I don’t know why you’re trying to provoke me, Ouyang Shengtian. You must know that one tends to lose reason when one is upset. Losing reason often leads to unreasonable action. Is that what you want to see?” Anger dawned on Lu Yun’s face.

Lin Qi, Wen Qiushui, and Luo Hongfei had also realized something was amiss and looked unpleasantly at Ouyang Shengtian.

“Oh… oho!” Lu Yun scratched his cheek with a look of dawning understanding. “Your baby sister, the Ouyang Shengxiang who’s been in this young master’s bed, is said to be engaged to the Dark Orchid crown prince. Is this what you’re counting on? The Lus will suffer revenge if Xu Chuyun dies, but the Ouyangs will remain safe due to your relationship with the Dark Orchid crown prince. What a lovely move of killing with a borrowed blade!”

Sprawled on the ground, deep resentment flashed through Xu Chuyun’s eyes. In this moment, he hated Ouyang Shengtian more than he did Lu Yun.

“Aiya, I wonder if the Dark Orchid crown prince knows that Ouyang Shengxiang has a red mole on her butt…” Lu Yun licked his lips.

Ouyang Shengtian’s face drained of color. Lin Qi, Wen Qiushui, and Luo Hongfei’s expressions also turned odd. Ouyang Shengxiang was a connate fragrance constitution and the crown prince had decided long ago that she would be his future empress. Yet, Lu Yun was saying that she’d been in his bed?

What did that mean?

And there was a red mole on her butt?

Um…

The three found things very strange indeed when they looked at Ouyang Shengtian’s pallor.

“Sir Cloudexit, my human pet, it looks like someone really wants you to die.” Lu Yun leaned over and patted Xu Chuyun’s swollen cheek.

Xu Chuyun’s eyeballs were about to fall out from the force of his glare, but there was nothing he could do since he was under Lu Yun’s foot and immobilized by a talisman.

“Young master Lu, will you release Xu Chuyun on my behalf?” sounded a new voice. A young man roughly twenty years old had walked into the pavilion at some point.

“Very well, this young master will show mercy today on behalf of Sir Yue.” Lu Yun recognized the newcomer in long ivory robes as one of the three gentlemen of the capital—Mo Qiyue.

Despite his words, he didn’t move his foot. “Ouyang Shengtian, you should release my two servants.”

Ouyang Shengtian took a long look at Mo Qiyue before throwing Lan’er and Lu Xuan over. Zhao Chenguang and Yu Shuai frantically caught Lu Xuan while Fengxian Wu held up Lan’er.

Lu Yun snorted and snapped his fingers, dispersing the talisman on Xu Chuyun’s head. He removed his foot and kicked the young man to Lin Qi and the others.

“But now I lack a human pet without Sir Cloudexit.” His next words caused the atmosphere to tense up again.
