Beauty Offers Herself

"Master Luo Jiu, you stopped me. Surely it wasn't just to chat, was it?"

Gazing at the ill-looking members of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, Jiang Lei's expression darkened as he spoke in a deep voice.

At his words, the middle-aged man standing at the head of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School's group snorted coldly. "Jiang Lei, I'll tell you the truth. The master of this school broke through to the Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm not long ago.

Right now, I'm giving your Eagle Martial Arts School two choices. 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 soon as Luo Jiu, the Master of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, finished speaking, an uproar immediately broke out among the surrounding crowd.

This place happened to be in the center of Great Eagle City, where there was a heavy flow of people. Thus, the events here swiftly drew many onlookers.

Countless surprised gazes turned toward the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School and the Eagle Martial Arts School in the middle of the street.

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

But now that Luo Jiu had broken through to the Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm, had the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School finally been unable to restrain its ambition to dominate Great Eagle City?

On the other side, the expressions of Jiang Lei and the Eagle Martial Arts School members immediately darkened as well.

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

Now that the Eagle Martial Arts School was being pushed to such a point by the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, they were furious and deeply ashamed.

Even Jiang Xue, standing beside Lin Langtian, clenched her delicate hands tightly. She bit her red lips lightly, undisguised anger filling her beautiful eyes.

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

"Hmph, the victor becomes king and the loser becomes bandit. Surely you, Jiang Lei, understand that. My fist is 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?"

Jiang Lei's expression turned exceedingly grim. With a clench of his hand, a heavy sword appeared, and a powerful aura abruptly erupted from him.

"Haha, Jiang Lei, I've already reached the Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm. The gap between us is only growing larger. With your current strength, do you think you're worthy of fighting me?" Seeing this, Luo Jiu burst into laughter, his tone filled with contempt.

"Then let's try!"

Jiang Lei's gaze darkened. He stomped fiercely against the ground, his body shooting out as his heavy sword swept forth with a sharp sword light toward Luo Jiu, who sat atop his horse.

"Courting death!"

Luo Jiu's eyes turned fierce. He gripped his hand, and a Wrought Iron warhammer appeared within it. Slapping the horse's back with his palm, he soared into the air. The heavy hammer whistled through the air like a falling mountain, smashing into Jiang Lei's sword light with lightning speed.

Clang!

A dull boom and yuan power fluctuation erupted in mid-air. Then Jiang Lei's body was blasted backward, staggering repeatedly before landing on the ground and skidding a trail of nearly thirty feet.

Whoosh!

Seeing Jiang Lei fall into a disadvantage after just one exchange, the Eagle Martial Arts School members cried out in alarm.

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

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

After the incident with the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, the mood among the Eagle Martial Arts School members became exceedingly low.

As for Lin Langtian, after following everyone to the Eagle Martial Arts School, he was assigned a rather luxurious room.

Thinking about 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 harsh truth that the strong reigned supreme.

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

Although he had spent several days with the Eagle Martial Arts School, he did not share any deep bond with them.

Moreover, he had long repaid their kindness in guiding him by killing the Leopard Crocodile King. Thus, he did not wish to interfere in the conflict with the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School, nor could he possibly handle every injustice he encountered.

Knock, knock!

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

"Come in." Seeing Jiang Xue come to find 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. Then a graceful figure stepped into the room in small steps, walking beneath the moonlight.

Lin Langtian looked at Jiang Xue as she entered and was slightly stunned, a trace of appreciation flashing through his eyes.

Jiang Xue had clearly dressed up carefully. A purple blouse covered by a green skirt, brows and eyes like a painting, skin as white as snow, and smooth black hair cascading to her slender waist.

Together with her slightly flushed cheeks beneath the moonlight, she appeared exceptionally beautiful and captivating.

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

"May I ask why Miss Jiang Xue has come so late at night?" Lin Langtian raised a brow.

"These are fresh clothes for you to change into." Jiang Xue placed the neatly folded clothes on the table. Her voice was soft, and she lowered her head slightly. Under the lamplight, her pretty face seemed to burn like fire.

"You could have simply had a maid deliver these." Lin Langtian shook his head slightly, then looked at Jiang Xue. "Miss Jiang Xue, you came because of what happened today, didn'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 passed away early, so Father was the one who raised Yinyin and me. 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 disbanded, Father will never be able to bear such a blow. I don't want to see Father become destitute..."

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, you were able to kill the Leopard Crocodile King in an instant at such a young age. You should also have a good chance against Luo Jiu."

Lin Langtian did not look too surprised. He had clearly expected Jiang Xue's request. He merely said calmly,

"Although Luo Jiu is beneath my notice, Miss Jiang Xue, haven't I already repaid your kindness in guiding me?

I distinguish clearly between gratitude and grudges, but I am not some indiscriminate good man who steps in whenever he sees trouble. Therefore, I don't think I have any 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, staying low-key and cautious was the proper way. If one had even a little strength and went around acting arrogantly, looking down on everyone and interfering everywhere, one would only die faster.

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

Therefore, even though the beauty before him was on the verge of tears and looked so pitiful, Lin Langtian remained unmoved.

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

Jiang Xue looked at the calm-faced Lin Langtian. Suddenly taking a deep breath, she loosened the sash at her waist with her delicate hands. Her gown slipped down, and in an instant, a delicate body like white jade stood completely naked within the sealed room.

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

Jiang Xue's figure was tall and voluptuous, with a slender willow waist that could be held in one hand. Her skin was as white as snow and jade, smooth and tender—truly exquisite.

"This... going straight to that... isn't that a little inappropriate...?"
