Beauty Offers Herself

"Hall Master Luo Jiu, you stopped me for something other than a chat, didn't you?"

Looking at the ill-tempered people from the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, Jiang Lei's expression darkened as he spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man at the head of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School snorted coldly. "Jiang Lei, to tell you the truth, this hall master broke through to Form Creation Realm Grand Completion not long ago.

Right now, I'm giving your Eagle Martial Arts School two paths. First, merge into my Blood Vulture Martial Arts School and become part of it.

Second, leave Great Eagle City and fend for yourselves. Choose one!"

As Luo Jiu, the hall master of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, finished speaking, an uproar immediately broke out nearby.

This place happened to be at the center of Great Eagle City, where the flow of people was considerable. What happened here quickly drew a large crowd.

Countless gazes looked in surprise at the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School and the Eagle Martial Arts School in the middle of the scene.

As the two strongest martial arts schools in Great Eagle City, they had been evenly matched for years.

However, now that Luo Jiu had broken through to Form Creation Realm Grand Completion, was the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School finally unable to restrain its ambition to dominate Great Eagle City?

On the other side, the expressions of the Eagle Martial Arts School members led by Jiang Lei also darkened at once.

Compared to the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, which had risen steadily in recent years, the Eagle Martial Arts School was an old power in Great Eagle City. It had been passed down for more than a decade, and even its name came from Great Eagle City.

Now, the Eagle Martial Arts School was being forced into such a situation by the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School. They were furious, yet they also felt deeply ashamed.

Even Jiang Xue beside Lin Langtian clenched her jade-like hands tightly, lightly biting her red lips. Her beautiful eyes held undisguised anger.

"Hall Master Luo Jiu, our two martial arts schools have always stayed out of each other's affairs. Aren't you going too far?" Jiang Lei frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. Don't tell me you, Jiang Lei, don't understand such a simple principle. My fists are bigger, so my words are the rules of Great Eagle City!" Luo Jiu snorted coldly.

"Luo Jiu, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

At those words, Jiang Lei's expression turned extremely grim. He clenched his hand, and a heavy sword flashed into existence as a powerful aura suddenly erupted.

"Haha, Jiang Lei, I've already reached Form Creation Realm Grand Completion. The gap between us is only growing wider. With your current strength, are you even worthy of fighting me?" Luo Jiu laughed disdainfully.

"Then let's find out!"

Jiang Lei's gaze was dark. He stomped the ground fiercely, shooting forward as his heavy sword swept out a sharp sword gleam toward Luo Jiu, who sat atop his horse.

"Courting death!"

Luo Jiu's eyes sharpened. With a clench of his hand, a heavy refined-iron hammer appeared in his grasp. He slapped the horse's back and soared into the air, his hammer whistling as though a mountain crag had come crashing down, striking Jiang Lei's sword gleam with lightning speed.

Clang!

A deep muffled impact and a surge of Yuan Power erupted in midair. Jiang Lei was sent staggering back, landing on the ground and skidding out a trail more than ten meters long.

An alarmed uproar rose from the Eagle Martial Arts School when they saw Jiang Lei fall at a disadvantage after just one exchange.

"I'll give you three days. If your Eagle Martial Arts School does not withdraw from Great Eagle City on your own after three days, don't blame this hall master for taking action personally!"

After driving Jiang Lei back with a single blow, Luo Jiu sneered disdainfully. He then waved to those behind him and returned the way he had come, leaving the Eagle Martial Arts School with a solemn warning before he departed.

After the incident with the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, the mood of everyone in the Eagle Martial Arts School became extremely gloomy.

As for Lin Langtian, after following them back to the Eagle Martial Arts School, he was arranged to stay in a rather luxurious room.

Thinking of what had happened during the day, Lin Langtian shook his head.

The Great Thousand World was like this—there were no laws, no order, only the hard truth that the strong ruled supreme.

Conflicts like the one between the Eagle Martial Arts School and the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School happened everywhere in the Great Thousand World at every moment. They were nothing unusual.

Though he had spent several days with the Eagle Martial Arts School, he did not have any deep emotional ties to them.

Moreover, he had already repaid their kindness in guiding him by killing the Leopard Crocodile King.

Therefore, he did not wish to interfere in the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School conflict, nor could he possibly involve himself in every injustice he came across.

Knock, knock!

Just as Lin Langtian was preparing to rest, someone suddenly knocked on his door. Jiang Xue's gentle voice soon drifted in.

"Come in." Seeing Jiang Xue come looking for him so late at night, a thoughtful look appeared on Lin Langtian's face before he spoke.

Creak.

The door was pushed open, moonlight spilling through the gap. A graceful figure then stepped into the room with small steps, walking beneath the moonlight.

Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback when he looked at Jiang Xue entering the room, and a trace of appreciation flashed through his eyes.

Jiang Xue had clearly dressed up with great care. A green skirt covered a purple blouse, her brows and eyes were picturesque, and her skin was as white as snow. Her smooth black hair fell to her slender waist.

Together with her slightly flushed cheeks and the moonlight shining upon her, she looked exceptionally beautiful and moving.

Under Lin Langtian's gaze, the blush on Jiang Xue's pretty face quietly deepened. She shut the door behind her, holding a neatly folded stack of clothes in her jade-like hands.

"Miss Jiang Xue, what brings you here in the middle of the night?" Lin Langtian raised a brow.

"These are fresh clothes." Jiang Xue placed the neatly folded clothes on the table. Her voice was gentle, and she lowered her head slightly. The lamplight shone on her lovely face, making it seem as though it were burning hot.

"You could have simply asked a maid to deliver these." Lin Langtian shook his head slightly, then looked at Jiang Xue. "Miss Jiang Xue, you're here because of what happened today, aren't you?"

Jiang Xue's delicate body stiffened slightly at his words. She lowered her pretty face and remained silent for a moment before softly saying, "Mother died early, so Father raised Yinyin and me by himself. Later, we came to Great Eagle City and established the Eagle Martial Arts School here.

This is Father's life's work of more than ten years. If the martial arts school is dissolved, Father definitely won't be able to bear the blow. I don't want to see Father become so despondent."

Jiang Xue bit her red lips with her pearly teeth. Mist gathered in her eyes, and her gentle voice sounded helpless and sorrowful.

"So, I want to ask you to help us. Young Master, at your age, you were able to kill the Leopard Crocodile King in an instant. You should have a good chance against Luo Jiu as well."

There was not much surprise on Lin Langtian's face. Clearly, he had long expected Jiang Xue's request. He merely said calmly,

"Luo Jiu is not worth my notice, but Miss Jiang Xue, it seems I already repaid your kindness in guiding me.

"I may distinguish gratitude from grudges, but I am not a foolishly benevolent person. I will not leap into action for every matter I encounter. Therefore, I believe I have no reason to help with the conflict between your martial arts school and the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School."

Lin Langtian knew that in a fantasy world, keeping a low profile and remaining cautious was the true path.

If one gained a little strength and then acted arrogantly everywhere, disregarding everyone and intervening in everything, one would only die faster.

Even if Luo Jiu was not particularly strong, what if some powerful figure stood behind him? Wouldn't Lin Langtian simply be courting death?

Thus, even though the beauty before him looked as though she might burst into tears and inspired pity, Lin Langtian remained unmoved.

"Young Master Lin Tian, if you can prevent the Eagle Martial Arts School from being dissolved, Xue'er is willing to become your servant!"

Jiang Xue looked at the calm-faced Lin Langtian. She suddenly took a deep breath, her jade-like hands loosening the sash around her waist. Her long skirt slipped down, and in an instant, a delicate body as white as jade appeared completely naked in the tightly sealed room.

This sudden change caused Lin Langtian's expression to shift slightly. He looked at the flawless, snow-white body before him in surprise.

Jiang Xue's figure was tall and full, her willow-like waist slender enough to encircle with one hand. Her skin was as white as snow and jade, smooth and tender, truly exquisite.

"This... isn't this a little too fast...?"
