The largest pleasure house in the Xinghe Dynasty.
“Grandfather, let's go home!”
A disguised Lu Ming watched the young women singing and dancing below, turning to the Grand Elder with a helpless sigh.
This old man was great in every other way.
But his fondness for visiting pleasure houses to listen to music was truly exasperating.
He wouldn't even agree to listen to it at home.
He claimed that listening at home just didn't have the right vibe...
“First touch... second touch...”
The Grand Elder, who was listening with great enthusiasm, looked thoroughly displeased.
“If you want to go back, go back... I'm certainly not going. You don't even know how to appreciate such an exciting performance...”
Hearing this, Lu Ming could only sigh helplessly.
Then, he turned to Wang Defa.
“Accompany Grandfather here and listen to the music. I'm going back to cultivate...”
As the protagonist of the world, how could he lose his ambition to such idle pleasures?
He had to strive for self-improvement and cultivate diligently.
As the protagonist, he surely had responsibilities and burdens to shoulder.
Even if he wanted to play, he would have to wait until he became invincible under heaven!
“Great Sect Master, don't worry. I will take good care of Grandfather.”
Lu Ming nodded and left.
Just as he was about to step out, he remembered something and turned back to Wang Defa.
“Oh right, come find me tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you...”
“Alright...”
Wang Defa didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
Seeing Lu Ming leave,
Wang Defa also grew excited.
He poured a cup of wine for himself and the Grand Elder, saying with a smile,
“Grandfather, that woman in red sings quite well...”
“Aiya... Little Wang... I didn't expect you to be a kindred spirit as well! Haha...”
“Hahaha... Of course...”
...
After returning to his residence, Lu Ming gathered with Big Yellow and the others.
“How is it... are they all chosen?”
Li Busan quickly bowed.
“Great Sect Master, rest assured... According to your instructions, I've found female cultivators who are at least at the Golden Core stage and whose appearances match Senior Wang perfectly...”
Lu Ming nodded upon hearing this.
Why did he assign the task of finding a partner for Old Man Wang to Li Busan?
It was because that fellow was lecherous. Lecherous people usually had decent aesthetic taste.
At this moment, Big Yellow asked somewhat uncertainly,
“Boss, are you sure Old Man Wang likes elderly-looking female cultivators?”
“He should, right? Old Man Wang's first love should be around his age, shouldn't she?”
Hearing Lu Ming's speculative theory, Big Yellow found it highly logical.
“Boss, you're right...”
Hearing their conversation, Li Busan's lips twitched. He was truly curious about what was going on in their heads.
Normally, didn't people prefer them young and beautiful?
Unable to hold back any longer, Li Busan suggested,
“Great Sect Master, I still suggest arranging a few younger ones for Senior Wang. What if his tastes have changed after his last heartbreak?”
Lu Ming realized this was indeed a possibility.
“Alright, arrange a few more as you see fit, but not too young...”
“Yes...”
Li Busan complied.
“Arrange for them to meet for the blind dates tomorrow. I've already notified Old Man Wang.”
“Understood...”
Li Busan agreed and withdrew.
“Boss, do you think if Old Man Wang finds a suitable Dao companion, it will heal his emotional wounds?”
“It should. Haven't you noticed? Ever since his heartbreak, he seems to have changed a bit...”
Big Yellow nodded and looked at Lu Ming with admiration. His boss was truly thoughtful.
...
After Huang Tianbao left the Eastern Province with the two brothers, Niu Lansan and Niu Lansi, they traveled all the way to Black Fiend City in the Northern Province.
Seeing Black Fiend City again, the two brothers couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
“We're back!”
However, their mindset now was completely different from back then.
Back then, they were just guards in Black Fiend City.
They were still worrying about the massive amount of resources needed to advance to the Golden Core stage.
Now, they were already preparing to advance to the Nascent Soul stage... and they didn't have to worry about resources at all.
The Great Sect Master had already prepared everything for them.
And it was the kind that they couldn't even finish using.
They were no longer those insignificant Foundation Establishment cultivators who worried about resources...
Just as they walked to the entrance of the Blood Fiend Tower, they ran into their former colleague, Liu Chan, who was on guard duty.
“Wow... Niu Lansan, Niu Lansi, you're already at the late Golden Core stage!”
Seeing their cultivation levels, Liu Chan couldn't help but exclaim in envy.
One had to know that back then, his cultivation was on par with theirs.
Yet, he hadn't even saved up enough resources to advance to the Golden Core stage.
Meanwhile, they were already about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage!
“Yes! We came across some opportunities...”
Niu Lansan nodded with a chuckle.
“What power did you join? Are you still looking for people?”
Liu Chan asked hopefully.
Niu Lansan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Huang Tianbao.
Huang Tianbao smiled slightly. “You decide.”
Niu Lansan nodded and turned back to Liu Chan.
“We're short on external personnel!”
Liu Chan's eyes lit up. “Can you count me in?”
“Sure!”
As he spoke, Niu Lansan reached into his storage bag and handed over a box.
Liu Chan took the box in confusion and swept his divine sense over it.
He couldn't help but gasp. Inside was a pill to break through to the Golden Core stage.
And its grade was not low either.
“Thank you...”
“Contact me once you break through to the Golden Core stage!”
Niu Lansan knew very well that they were here to gather intelligence, so they definitely needed to develop external informants.
“Alright!”
Liu Chan nodded in agreement.
...
“Come, let's go to the Blood Fiend Tower...”
After entering Black Fiend City, Huang Tianbao's voice rang out.
“Yes...”
With a swift response, the two brothers quickly followed behind Huang Tianbao.
The three of them made their way directly to the Blood Fiend Tower.
“May I ask what the three seniors would like to purchase?”
As soon as they entered, someone came forward to inquire.
“Oh! I'm the cousin of your Manager Bao. I've come to join him...”
Hearing that he was Bao Duoduo's cousin, the person did not dare to delay.
He quickly led them to find Bao Duoduo.
“Elder Bao, your cousin is here to see you...”
Inside his room, Bao Duoduo raised an eyebrow. “Come in!”
Before this, his cousin had indeed told him that he wanted to come and join him.
After all, his cousin's sect had been destroyed, so he planned to work under Bao Duoduo.
“Cousin Bao, how are you!”
Huang Tianbao said as he stepped into the main hall.
Bao Duoduo, who was currently reviewing the ledgers, raised an eyebrow. The voice sounded off.
He looked up, only to see Huang Tianbao grinning widely at him.
“Hehe... The Great Sect Master sent me here.”
Hearing this, Bao Duoduo immediately understood that this person was indeed recommended by Lu Ming.
“Alright, you'll stay by my side from now on...”
...
The guard had just ushered Huang Tianbao and the others inside and returned to the front hall.
Just then, another burly, tower-like man strode in.
“Senior, what would you like to purchase?”
Seeing that the newcomer possessed a Golden Core stage cultivation, the guard quickly stepped forward to ask.
“Ah... I'm looking for my cousin, Bao Duoduo...”
“What? Who are you looking for?”
Hearing the burly man's words, the guard couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
The burly man assumed that the guard was simply shocked by his powerful connections.
He raised his head proudly and said, “I'm looking for my cousin, Bao Duoduo...”
