Chapter 111: Chapter 109: Talking Back

For two whole days and nights, Lu Hong immersed himself in a heap of messages. During this time, Ku Le’s family members delivered meals on time, each day presenting a different delicacy from the wilderness, but that did little to alleviate the impending meltdown in Lu Hong’s head.

Demon King Yan, Year 753, April, mysterious treasure light in East Coast Village, suspected to be Divine Eye.

Demon King Yan, Year 927, June, in the northern border forest, the Bai family battled the Rainbow Demon family in the wild, the Rainbow Demon family used a mind-controlling magic item, suspected to be Divine Eye, the four City Lords arrived at the battlefield, but subsequent investigations found nothing.

Every message started with Demon King Yan. It seemed the demon race truly used the years of Demon King Yan’s reign as the calendar to record time.

From the messages of these two days, although Lu Hong didn’t get much definitive useful information, he at least learned one thing—the Demon King Yan has been alive for thousands of years. All the information about the Divine Eye occurred during the reign of Demon King Yan. Lu Hong didn’t know if there were other Demon Kings before Yan, but since Yan was still in power, this guy truly was an old immortal. There’s a saying, the older, the stronger. Although the wilderness level is restricted to Second Transition Level 4, this old immortal definitely had a strong foundation.

Thinking about it now, Bai Tianhang’s idea to overthrow the demon race’s rule while Demon King Yan was injured seemed quite ludicrous. How could a powerful being who had lived for thousands of years be easily assassinated and just die? Maybe the assassination was possibly a trap set by the Demon King Yan himself, pretending to be gravely injured as a means to eliminate dissenters.

During Lu Hong’s contemplation, a gentle knock on the door sounded: "Sir Tu, I have come to bring your meal."

"I’ll go out to eat later. I’ve seen enough." Lu Hong opened the door, stretched a long stretch, and said to Ku Le’s young nephew standing in front of him, "Pagas, could you prepare some hot water for me? I want to take a bath."

Pagas nodded. "Rest assured, Sir Tu, I will prepare it immediately."

After Pagas left to make preparations for Lu Hong, Lu Hong slowly strolled through the long corridor, passing rows of studies. The intelligence stored here was not limited to the wilderness; many studies also contained messages from other planes. The majority were from Divine Grace, occupying more than ten rooms.

Lu Hong pushed the door out of the secret room, where two demon race girls were already standing outside, waiting on either side.

"Sir Tu, following Lord Pagas’s instructions, we are here to escort you to bathe and change," one of the demon race girls, very pure-looking and with a pleasant voice, said.

"Lead the way." Lu Hong nodded and followed the two to a vast outdoor bath.

It must be said, the Kangrei family knew how to enjoy themselves. The outdoor bath was at least as big as a soccer field, and hundreds of women, clad in revealing gauze dresses, bowed to Lu Hong and said, "Welcome, Sir Tu, to your bath."

"Uh...," Lu Hong frankly disliked such spectacles: "You all go down, I can wash by myself."

Seeing Lu Hong trying to dismiss them, the two demon race girls kneeling beside him started to speak with a crying tone, "Please, Sir Tu, don’t send us away. You are the most honored guest of our Kangrei family. Serving you in your bath is our duty. If we fail to serve our distinguished guest properly, we will definitely be punished by the family."

Well then, since the young girl put it that way, Lu Hong had no choice but to consent after a moment’s thought. "All right then, but let it be clear, no inappropriate touching!"

Facing Lu Hong’s caution, the girls covered their mouths and giggled, "As you command, Sir Tu."

Honestly, being naked in front of a bunch of women was a bit embarrassing. The demon girls skillfully undressed Lu Hong and supported him into the bath.

The temperature of the water in the bath was just right, and the beauties previously standing around also entered the water, lined up to bring delicacies of the wilderness to Lu Hong’s mouth, while a few with proficient massage skills came to his sides and started to cleanse and massage him. Everything had been arranged perfectly; the only thing Lu Hong needed to do was open his mouth to eat.

Gradually easing into enjoyment, Lu Hong couldn’t help but marvel how disgusting yet delightful the life of the rich was!

"Uncle," Pagas approached Ku Le, bowing respectfully.

Ku Le set aside the letter he was reading and asked, "Is everything arranged for Sir Tu Kulu over there?"

"Everything has been arranged. However, Sir Tu seems to be somewhat indifferent toward women..."

"I’ve really not seen many who disfavor women. Even Tong Shuai accepted many beautiful concubines that were sent to him. But this Tu Kulu..." Ku Le was curious. After a thousand years, the Kangrei family’s methods of pleasing the strong were well-honed, yet Lu Hong seemed indifferent to all of them. Neither treasures nor beauties interested Lu Hong; could it be that all he truly cared about was those pieces of intelligence?

"Uncle, perhaps Sir Tu prefers that sort as well?" At that moment, Pagas thought of another possibility.

"Ku Le?" Ku Le knit his brows, pondering over it before finally saying, "Go find ten beautiful men from various races to serve together with our mansion’s beauties to attend to Tu Ku Lu tonight, whoever he prefers, I’ll provide them all."

"As you command." Pagas accepted the task and hastily left.

"Alas!" Having dealt with that matter, Ku Le picked up the letter again, a look of concern emerging on his face.

Lu Hong was touched all over by a group of beauties, thoroughly cleaned, though not tempted by them, but these beauties were genuinely captivated by Lu Hong. The fierce scars covering his body, not even Lando could hide them, let alone these frail women? Such a badge of victory sufficiently proved the owner of the scars’ prowess.

"Alright, alright, I’m leaving, stop touching!" The more the women touched, the more excited they got, frightening Lu Hong into finally clutching his clothes and fleeing in panic.

"Mr. Tu, don’t run, I’ll take you to the dining hall!" A demon girl who had followed him all the way chased after him.

Under the girl’s guidance, Lu Hong immediately saw Ku Le waiting at the entrance of the dining hall.

"Oh, Brother Tu, you’ve indeed been hard working these past few days reviewing messages, please, come inside and sit." Ku Le greeted him warmly, while the chimes of the Kang Ge Ru family rang again. Rows of Kang Ge Ru family members lined up in order followed Lu Hong, taking their seats in the dining hall.

Ku Le personally settled Lu Hong at the main seat of the Kang Ge Ru family, accompanying him and said, "You are the most honorable guest of our Kang Ge Ru family, today let me fully perform my duties as a host."

"Man, isn’t this setup a bit too much?" Lu Hong glanced around, under him sat hundreds of Kang Ge Ru family members - it seemed everyone who could come had come, but the most striking was Cui Xi’s gaze, fixated on Lu Hong, her face filled with hatred. This barefaced targeting was hard to ignore.

"Brother Tu, what are you saying? You’re an esteemed guest of our Kang Ge Ru family, and every member must recognize you; seeing you in the future, they must show you respect, that’s how our Kang Ge Ru family’s sincerity is shown, isn’t it?"

"It’s easy to say, but does your niece’s gloomy face really show any respect towards me?" Lu Hong pointed at Cui Xi - he didn’t want to see this brainless woman again.

Following Lu Hong’s pointing, Ku Le’s expression changed, and he quickly reprimanded Cui Xi, "Cui Xi! What are you doing? Is this how you’re grateful to your savior?"

"Uncle! I will never show him a good face, he bullied me, and you don’t even seek revenge for me!" Cui Xi complained loudly.

"Dare you say that again?!" Ku Le shouted sharply, and the originally noisy dining hall instantly quieted down, it seemed Ku Le had long established his authority in the family.

"I just said it, what about it?" Cui Xi, steeling her resolve, stood up angrily, "What he did to me is known to all the servants, such a person who hit and insulted me, simply doesn’t deserve the honor of being a distinguished guest of the Kang Ge Ru family."

"Take her away!" Knowing his niece was headstrong, it seemed difficult to silence her; Ku Le thought it better to have her removed.

"How dare you?!" Seeing the guards approaching, Cui Xi quickly scolded, "My father should be the family head of the Kang Ge Ru family; it was Ku Le who covertly usurped the position and drove away my father. Are you still going to help this family’s disgrace?"

Hearing Cui Xi’s words, Ku Le grinded his teeth in anger, harshly shouting, "Cui Xi! Do you realize what you’re saying?!"

"That’s how it is, Brother Tong even told me, you are the usurper of the Kang Ge Ru family, and I should be the true heir!" At this point, although frightened by Ku Le’s fury, Cui Xi had no choice but to tough it out.

"Alright, alright, how could you say these things, someone must have been instructing you behind the scenes." Ku Le sneered in extreme anger, "Take this rebellious woman away!"

Regardless of whether what Cui Xi said was true, in this territory of the Kang Ge Ru family, Ku Le was absolutely the ruler, with no one daring to defy his orders.

Facing the approaching guards, Cui Xi became panicked, "What are you doing? Don’t come any closer, I’m the true heir of the Kang Ge Ru family; you can’t treat me like this!"

But just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the dining hall. A sharp scream pierced the sky, a bat demon flashed past, and dozens of guards’ corpses were thrown into the dining hall, immediately staining the ground with blood.

"Tong Ling?!" Ku Le stared intensely at the figure appearing at the dining hall door, both angry and annoyed, yet carrying a bit of regret and fear, "Tong Shuai already agreed to protect our Tong family, how dare you defy your father’s orders?!"

"It’s not defiance, merely stepping in to solve the internal strife of the Kang Ge Ru family. How could our Tong family remain indifferent when the rightful heir is treated unjustly?" Tong Ling spoke calmly, though addressing Ku Le, his gaze turned towards Lu Hong.

Facing Tong Ling’s gaze, Lu Hong, who was enjoying the show from the main seat in the dining hall, now had a splitting headache. Fuck! Wrapped up in trouble again?!
