Chapter 266 Hot Spring
Ning Rongrong, relying on Lu Ming's backing, completely disregarded the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
[Lu Tiandi]: Alright, I've saved the photos. If you say one more word, I'll post them.
An eerie silence fell over the group chat.
Bibi Dong, far away in the Spirit Hall, is probably filled with shame and indignation.
[The Fox's Purest Feeling]: Teacher...you actually...
[Your Holiness]: Huliena! Shut up!
[Liu Erlong]: You brat, you're already enjoying yourself after winning the championship, aren't you? Be careful your body can't take it.
[Lu Tiandi]: Teacher, rest assured, your disciple is in excellent health.
Lu Ming regained his composure and focused his attention back on reality.
Taking advantage of Lu Ming's distraction, Shui Bing'er finally managed to break free from his embrace.
Her long dress was soaked through, clinging tightly to her graceful curves.
She crossed her arms and retreated to the other side of the hot spring pool.
Only a pair of long, beautiful legs remained, swaying restlessly in the water.
"Why are you running away, Sister Bing'er? Brother Lu Ming isn't going to eat you."
Shuiyue smiled and leaned close to Lu Ming's ear.
"Actually, my sister likes you too, but she's just shy."
Shui Bing'er was so upset when she heard that her sister had betrayed her that she stamped her feet in frustration.
"Shuiyue'er! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart when we get back!"
Xiao Wu lay on Lu Ming's back, holding a peeled grape in her hand.
It was handed directly to Lu Ming's mouth.
Lu Ming opened his mouth and bit into the grape, taking Xiao Wu's fingertips into his mouth as well.
Xiao Wu blushed and playfully pulled her hand away.
"Are you a dog? You even bite your own fingers."
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong was not to be outdone.
Pick up a slice of watermelon from the fruit plate next to you.
He bit one end with his teeth and brought it to Lu Ming's face.
The little witch looked at Lu Ming provocatively, her eyes filled with a certain expectation.
Lu Ming didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to greet him.
Their lips touched, and sweet watermelon juice dripped down their chins.
It dripped onto Lu Ming's muscular chest.
Zhu Zhuqing picked up a towel from the side.
She carefully wiped the juice off Lu Ming's chest.
Her movements were gentle, but her gaze was fixed on Lu Ming like silk threads.
Her proud breasts kept brushing against Lu Ming's arm with each movement.
The amazing touch made Lu Ming's heart burn with excitement.
Dugu Yan could see everything clearly from behind, and her jade-like hand slid down Lu Ming's back.
They walked all the way to Lu Ming's waist.
"Little brother seems a bit hot-tempered. Do you want your big sister to help you cool down?"
Dugu Yan's words were full of implications.
The long leg draped over the armrest hooked around Lu Ming's waist.
Lu Ming grabbed Dugu Yan's ankle with his other hand.
The fingertips gently caressed the delicate skin.
"Since Sister Yanyan is being so proactive, wouldn't it be unromantic of me to refuse?"
With a slight effort, Lu Ming sent Dugu Yan flying over the lounge chair and tumbling into the hot spring pool.
Water splashed everywhere.
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, her whole body instantly soaked.
The purple tulle dress had become completely translucent.
This revealed her incredibly hot figure.
Dugu Yan poked her head out of the water and wiped the water droplets off her face like a mermaid.
She gave Lu Ming a reproachful look with seductive eyes.
"You're so naughty, you got someone's clothes wet."
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu clapped and cheered from the side.
"Serves you right! Who told you to seduce Lu Ming!"
The little witch shouted as she splashed water on Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan was not about to be taken advantage of, and immediately retaliated by scooping up water with both hands.
The girls immediately started playing and splashing around in the hot spring pool.
Shui Bing'er, who was hiding in a corner, was also affected and got splashed with water.
She sighed helplessly, but was also infected by the joyful atmosphere.
She stretched out her small, jade-like hands and joined the water-splashing frenzy.
Lu Ming leaned back in his recliner, admiring the boundless spring scenery before him.
The water splashed and soaked every girl's clothes.
The skin, partially obscured and the various graceful curves, shimmered in the sunlight.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Shuiyue swam to Lu Ming's side.
She pressed her entire body against Lu Ming's legs.
"Brother Lu Ming, they are so wild. Yue'er is the most well-behaved."
As she spoke, her hands roamed restlessly over Lu Ming's thighs.
Shuiyue'er's fingers had just slid to Lu Ming's inner thigh.
A warm, strong hand pressed down on her wrist.
Lu Ming lowered his head and looked at Shui Yue'er's innocent and pretty face.
"You little rascal, you're getting bolder and bolder."
Shuiyue'er was not afraid at all; instead, she took the opportunity to rub her cheek against Lu Ming's hand.
"Who can resist Lu Ming's charm? Yue'er simply can't control herself."
Ning Rongrong saw it all clearly from the side.
The little witch couldn't stand anyone stealing her thunder.
She immediately started splashing around in the water, pushing herself forward with both hands.
A large splash of water landed squarely on Shuiyue'er's face.
"You little rascal, Shuiyue'er, you sneaked some food when we weren't looking!"
Shuiyue'er was splashed so hard she couldn't open her eyes, and cried out as she snuggled into Lu Ming's arms.
"Brother Lu Ming, help! Sister Rongrong is bullying me!"
Not to be outdone, Xiao Wu dropped the grapes in her hand and jumped directly into the water.
The rabbit ears stood up angrily on its head.
"Me too! Let's drag this philandering girl out!"
The three girls immediately started making a ruckus.
Water splashed in the hot spring pool, and fair skin was faintly visible in the ripples.
Shui Bing'er stood at the edge of the pool, watching her younger sister being surrounded and attacked, and was anxious to go forward and help.
However, because her clothes were completely soaked and clung to her body, she was ashamed to walk in front of Lu Ming.
All I could do was stand there, blushing and anxious.
"Moon, come here quickly, stop fooling around."
Shuiyue'er wouldn't listen, clinging tightly to Lu Ming's waist and refusing to let go.
Zhu Zhuqing remained quietly seated beside Lu Ming.
He let the water splash onto his shoulders.
She picked up a dry towel and carefully wiped the water droplets from Lu Ming's face.
His eyes were clear and bright, and his movements were focused.
Hu Liena sat on the steps not far away, her short golden hair slightly damp.
Looking at Lu Ming, who was being fawned over like a star, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she should have been a mortal enemy of Lu Ming.
But in that final match, Lu Ming's godlike, eternal black ring shattered her pride completely.
Now, I've somehow ended up at this secluded courtyard.
Lu Ming tilted his head slightly, his gaze passing over the water splashes and landing on Hu Liena.
"Doesn't Your Highness feel lonely sitting there all by yourself?"
Hu Liena stiffened and avoided Lu Ming's gaze.
"I...I'm not used to fooling around with other people."
Lu Ming chuckled and patted the empty seat next to him.
"come over."
It consists of only two words, yet it carries an undeniable air of refusal.
Hu Liena bit her lower lip, feeling a thousand times unwilling, but her body honestly stood up.
She strode across the hot spring water with her long, slender legs and slowly walked to Lu Ming's side.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan immediately moved aside to make room.
"Little fox, your brother Lu Ming is calling you, what are you being so coy about?"
As soon as Hu Liena sat down, Lu Ming's arm naturally wrapped around her slender waist.
Hu Liena trembled and instinctively tried to struggle.
Lu Ming gently pinched her waist with his fingers.
"You feel wronged for losing to me?"
Hu Liena felt the warmth coming from her waist, and her breathing became a little rapid.
"I admit defeat because I'm not as skilled as you. But my teacher won't let you off the hook."
When Bibi Dong was mentioned, Lu Ming's smile deepened.
He didn't reply, but instead focused his attention on opening the chat group in his mind again.
The messages in the chat group were scrolling wildly.
[I Don't Have a Mother]: What did those girls mean by what they said just now? Lu Ming, what despicable things are you doing!
[Liu Erlong]: Xue'er, don't talk nonsense. My Xiaoming is young and vigorous. What's wrong with him relaxing a little?
Lu Ming immediately turned his attention to Bibi Dong, who had been hiding in the shadows.
[Lu Tiandi]: @Your Holiness, stop playing dead. I won the tournament, shouldn't I fulfill my bet?
Deep within the Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at the message on the screen in front of her, her beautiful face turning bright red.
She slammed her hand hard on the armrest of the papal chair.
That little thief! Not only did he steal the championship, but he also dared to blackmail her in the group chat!
The thought of being forced to wear that shameful bunny girl outfit for the photos yesterday made Bibi Dong want to kill someone.
[Your Holiness]: What do you want?
[Lu Tiandi]: The uncensored, high-definition version of that photo.
[Your Holiness]: You're dreaming! I will never agree to such a shameless request!
[The Fox's Innocent Heart]: Teacher...did you really take those kinds of photos?
After sending the message in the group, Hu Liena looked up in real life and stared blankly at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked down and met Hu Liena's gaze.
He reached out and pinched Hu Liena's delicate chin.
"Your teacher is naughty, so shouldn't you, as her apprentice, be punished in her place?"
Hu Liena's cheeks instantly flushed.
"You...you're going too far!"
Lu Ming ignored her protests and lowered his head to cover her soft red lips.
Hu Liena's eyes widened suddenly.
She pushed hard against Lu Ming's chest with both hands.
But that little bit of strength was utterly insignificant in front of Lu Ming.
Dugu Yan watched with great interest, and even gave Hu Liena a push on the back.
This makes the two of them stick even closer together.
"Little fox, Lu Ming's kissing skills are quite good, so enjoy it."
Shuiyue stopped making a fuss and poked her head out of the water, staring intently at the two of them.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu also stopped what they were doing and swam over, puffing out their cheeks.
"You big bad guy! He kissed someone else in front of us again!"
Ning Rongrong pinched Lu Ming's thigh without any hesitation.
Lu Ming felt the pain and then released Hu Liena.
Hu Liena was panting heavily, her lips were swollen and red, and there was a hint of water in the corner of her eyes.
She huddled in Lu Ming's arms like a frightened fawn, no longer daring to look anyone else in the eye.
[I Don't Have a Mother]: Shameless! How could they do such a thing in broad daylight!
Qian Renxue was posting like crazy in the group chat.
[Emperor Lu Tian]: What, little sister Xue'er wants to learn? I'll teach you myself another day.
"I don't have a mother": You're asking for it!
[Your Holiness]: Lu Ming! You dare to harm my disciple, I will kill you!
[Lu Tiandi]: Your Holiness should mind your own business first. I've already set the photos to be sent on a schedule, so the entire Douluo Continent can see Your Holiness's stunning figure.
The group fell silent again.
Even Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who had been very active, dared not speak.
That's the Pope of the Spirit Hall!
Lu Ming actually dared to threaten her like that!
A moment later.
Upon seeing this notification, Lu Ming smiled with satisfaction.
[Emperor Lu Tian]: It would have been better if you had done this earlier. Thank you for your cooperation, Your Holiness. I'll keep the photos for now and enjoy them myself later.
[Your Holiness]: You'll regret this sooner or later!
After saying this, Bibi Dong logged off.
I guess he went to smash things to vent his anger.
Lu Ming left the chat group.
In high spirits, he stretched and stood up from the hot spring pool.
The water flowed down his strong muscles.
His perfect physique made all the girls present blush and look away.
Only Zhu Zhuqing stood up without changing her expression and picked up the large bath towel next to her.
He stepped forward and skillfully draped a bath towel over Lu Ming's body.
Be careful not to catch a cold.
Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained cold and aloof, but her movements were incredibly gentle.
Lu Ming took the opportunity to pull Zhu Zhuqing into his arms and kissed her on the forehead.
"My cat is still the most considerate."
Ning Rongrong took one look and decided she wouldn't do it.
She jumped straight out of the water, not even bothering to wring out her clothes, and pounced on Lu Ming's back.
"I'm so thoughtful! I'll warm your back!"
Her soaked clothes clung tightly to Ning Rongrong's body.
Lu Ming felt the softness behind him, then used his hands to support Ning Rongrong's thighs and carried her steadily on his back.
"You call this thoughtful? You're trying to murder your husband."
Ning Rongrong giggled and wrapped her arms tightly around Lu Ming's neck.
Xiao Wu also climbed ashore, picked up another bath towel, and haphazardly dried her hair.
Shuiyue'er and Dugu Yan also came out one after the other.
Shui Bing'er finally made her way ashore, clutching her chest tightly with both hands.
"Sister Bing'er, why are you covering up? Brother Lu Ming has already seen everything."
Shuiyue'er, standing to the side, seemed to thrive on chaos.
Shui Bing'er glared at her younger sister, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
"Shut up!"
Just then, the gate of the villa was pushed open.
Liu Erlong walked in carrying a large tray.
The table was laden with exquisite pastries and several jugs of fine fruit wine.
She wore a purple, tight-fitting long dress that perfectly accentuated her mature and alluring figure.
"You little rascals, you can make such a commotion just by taking a bath in a hot spring."
Liu Erlong placed the tray on the stone table in the courtyard and glanced at everyone.
Finally, the focus shifted to Lu Ming, who was being carried on Ning Rongrong's back and had Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.
"Xiaoming, aren't you going to do anything about them? It's so late at night, aren't they afraid of catching a cold?"
Although Liu Erlong scolded him verbally, his eyes were full of doting affection.
Lu Ming put Ning Rongrong down, walked to the stone table, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"The teacher's snacks are still so delicious."
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at him and reached out to straighten his bath towel.
Stop flattering them. Quickly tell them to change their wet clothes, eat something, and get some rest.
"We still need to take stock of all the rewards we brought back from the Spirit Hall tomorrow."
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up when she heard about the reward.
"Teacher Erlong, Lu Ming has already distributed those three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones to us!"
Liu Erlong looked at Lu Ming with some surprise.
"You gave it all away? You don't want it for yourself?"
Lu Ming waved his hand dismissively.
"I wouldn't even look at that kind of trashy soul bone. Let them have it if they want it."
That's extremely arrogant.
But no one present thought he was bragging.
After all, who has ever seen a monster who possesses a ten-thousand-year-old black third ring at the age of fifteen?
Not to mention his terrifying eight-ring strength.
