Lu Shu snatched the remote control from Wen Zaifou and turned the television off. “Only such places are this unique and have these kind of things!”
“So that’s the reason why you came here?” Wen Zaifou said in shock, “How exciting!”
To Wen Zaifou, it was an amazing experience…
Lu Shu suddenly realized that he could not explain himself. He changed into the bathrobe in the room. He did not know that the so-called mixed gender hot springs had a partition wall made up of bamboo and he could not see anything…
Lu Shu enjoyed himself as he soaked in the hot spring, feeling the steam on his forehead. For some reason, although Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao pressured him immensely, he felt more relaxed.
Soon, Lu Shu felt that it was an ordinary vacation. However, Lu Shu warned himself to not fall for the illusion.
A large number of slave owners had died in front of him. However, he was certain that those were not all of the slave owners. Yet, he did not know who were the people controlling the slave owners behind the scenes.
At this moment, he heard the sound of water behind the bamboo wall. It was the female section.
The hot spring hotel had already been booked entirely by the Collection of Gods. Therefore, it was either Sakurai Yaeko or Yu Fuyao or both were next door.
Wen Zaifou was not entirely interested in hot springs and was watching the television show in the room. Lu Shu felt that he was too unsuitable to be a Lord of Heaven, he acted as though he had never experienced ups and downs before…
At this moment, Yu Fuyao who was behind the bamboo wall spoke with a lazy tone, “This cannot be compared to a Lord of Heaven’s Palace at all. However, this partition between the male and female sections is pretty interesting… How wonderful must it be if the wall is removed?”
Lu Shu did not dare to speak after hearing that. He could not handle Yu Fuyao’s vigor…
With the sound of splashing water, Sakurai Yaeko said softly, “The wall cannot be removed, after all, we have to mind our manners…”
Yu Fuyao burst out laughing, “Humans are like that, a man can abandon his wife for power. A woman can become one’s slave in order to live. A brother can kill his younger brother for his family fortune. A dealer can take risks in order to earn money. Everyone lives without knowing their manners, so why are you talking about manners now? As compared to all the things I mentioned, isn’t seeing each other naked the least harmful one?”
Lu Shu was stunned for a while. She actually made sense…
Sakurai Yaeko said softly, “Lu Shu-kun is not like that.”
Yu Fuyao suddenly raised her voice, “Hey, Lu Shu, why not come over to our side to enjoy the hot spring. Anyway, there is nobody left in this hotel. Why don’t I just remove the bamboo wall so it won’t be that troublesome.”
Lu Shu was indignant. “I won’t suffer any losses from this!”
Yu Fuyao laughed. “A verbal comment doesn’t mean anything. How about bringing up the past, how about following me back to my palace to be my male companion. I can ask everyone to go away and only leave you behind.”
“Isn’t it too embarrassing for me to be someone’s male companion,” Lu Shu said.
“Oh, so that’s what you mean?” Yu Fuyao laughed while covering her mouth from next door. “Then what if I give the position of the Lord of Heaven to you, and I will be one of your wives? What name are you planning to give me?”
Lu Shu kept silent for a few seconds before replying, “Urine bottle?!” [1. Word play on the term “wife” in Mandarin]
“From Yu Fuyao’s distress, +666!”
At this moment, Yu Fuyao waved her hands and Lu Shu escaped without looking back as he heard the bamboo wall crumble. Yu Fuyao laughed hysterically behind him. Her laughter sounded like bells chiming from heaven, it was extremely pleasing to the ears and seductive. “Coward.”
At this moment, Yu Fuyao turned to Sakurai Yaeko. “Are you angry at me for bullying him?”
Sakurai Yaeko smiled gently, “He doesn’t belong to me, at least not yet.”
The water in the hot spring rippled. Sakurai Yaeko curled up in the water and only had her head above the water. Her hair which was tied up was slightly wet.
“If you want him, go and get him,” Yu Fuyao shook her head and said, “Stop waiting, you will never get him if you wait.”
“Why should I force myself?” Sakurai Yaeko smiled. “If there is something in the world that I am not fated to get, isn’t it very frustrating?”
Yu Fuyao glanced at Sakurai Yaeko. “Why frustrating, nobody shall get whatever I am not able to get.”
Sakurai Yaeko shook her head. “That shouldn’t be the case. There are too many wonderful things in the world, but can we get all of them? So what if we do? As compared to dying with everything in our hands, I would rather leave it as it was. Love is to allow others to feel warmth instead of forcing them to love you back. That’s the correct attitude we should have towards wonderful things.”
Yu Fuyao shot Sakurai Yaeko a look. “Old-fashioned.”
After Lu Shu returned to his room, Wen Zaifou turned off the television in guilt. “Why did you return so quickly?”
Lu Shu did not know what to say. “As a Lord of Heaven, don’t you have 72 wives across all the different palaces, why are you curious about such things?”
“What do you even know,” Wen Zaifou said in disdain, “I don’t get involved in all those dramas between the wives. Back then when I conquered the world with my army, the last country I conquered was a powerful country but extremely chaotic. The king was obsessed with other matters and neglected the war. I thought that such people were pathetic.”
Lu Shu was stunned. This was the first time he heard about the history of the Luniverse. It probably happened before the old King of Gods built the palace. Back then, Wen Zaifou had already followed the old King of Gods.
Therefore, in the past, there were probably many countries in the Luniverse. However, the old King of Gods conquered every one of them and united the Luniverse.
As he imagined the prowess of someone who could unite the Luniverse, Lu Shu suddenly desired to be part of the era whereby one was regarded as a hero.
Lu Shu suddenly asked as something came across his mind, “Is it because you can’t make it?”
Wen Zaifou became anxious immediately, “Who are you saying can’t make it?” Wen Zaifou walked back and forth in the room with his face red in anxiety, “Who are you saying can’t make it?”
Lu Shu sighed as he saw Wen Zaifou’s actions. “Your reaction is really obvious…”
“From Wen Zaifou’s distress, +748!”
“What do you know,” said Wen Zaifou, “I was trained in the Tong Zi Gong1 which ensured that I don’t lose my vitality, how would you know my realm?! My father taught me to not be enticed by other things during training. I must stay focused so as to become the winner… However, before he could witness my powers, he was no longer around.”
