Level Up in Martial World

Chapter  59  Secrets

"Not bad," Lu Zhen thought with satisfaction.

Suddenly, his ears twitched as he heard a rustling sound from beneath him.

"Oh, I almost forgot to untie her," Lu Zhen thought as he unwrapped the large leaf covering Xia Mei.

The moment he did, his eyes widened with a lustful glint as he saw her. Xia Mei, wrapped up in the ropes, had all her curves highlighted by the ropes, and her qipao had become nearly see-through due to the glistening sweat.

Lu zhen eyes glinted with lust as he saw her black garment underneath her qipao making his eyes lustful.

"This woman is really seductive…" lu zhen thought as he could feel some resonation with xia long however he will never do such a disgusting thing as in*est ever in his life. Maybe Because of his culture in his previous life he was a firm believer of non-in*est as he found this act disgusting.

"Ah…" a scream resounded, stunning Lu Zhen as he looked at Huang Li.

"This girl…" Huang Li pointed at Xia Mei with disbelief.

"Oh, you didn't know about that," Lu Zhen said with a smirk. He just realised this girl huang li didn't know that xia mei was in the leaf wrapped in the huge leaf.

"How interesting," Lu Zhen said as he closed in on the girl.

"This will be your new home for quite some time now," Lu Zhen said as he paused, "and this will be your partner from now on."

"So have fun, you two," Lu Zhen said as he was about to leave but stopped.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Lu Zhen said as he returned and cut a small rope from Xia Mei, who was staring at Lu Zhen with hatred.

He then bound Huang Li's hands with ropes.

Huang Li just stared blankly at Lu Zhen as he tied the rope around her hands; she seemed stunned, processing everything.

"Well, good luck, girls. I will be back in a day," Lu Zhen said as he left the room. The two girls watched with horror as Lu Zhen left them in this filthy room.

As Lu Zhen left the room, he turned the statue back to its original place, and the room closed with a rumbling sound, leaving the two girls with terrified eyes.

"This… this bastard really left us in this godforsaken place…" Huang Li screamed out loud as she tried to escape the ropes, but they were too thick for a martial trainee to tear.

"Do you have a way to get out?" Huang Li asked Xia Mei, who was just in a daze.

"No," Xia Mei said with a cold, straight tone.

"Do we have to stay here until that bastard comes back to this disgusting place…" Huang Li roared like a cat as she jumped around the sticky floor. However, as she jumped around, she stumbled and fell to the ground, covering her body with dirt and mucus, which brought her face to face with the harsh reality.

This realisation silenced her, and she sat on the cold, dirty, and sticky floor. In her newfound silence, she gazed up at the dark ceiling, consumed by despair.

Xia Mei chuckled slightly at Huang Li's antics, but since she was in the same situation, she, too, ended up staring blankly at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhen made his way to his mother's palace.

"Looks like the previous host of this body had quite strange habits," Lu Zhen thought with a frown. The room where the two girls were imprisoned was built when Lu Zhen was a child, and he practised martial arts there. The previous host was a martial arts fanatic in his childhood, but despite all his hard work, he had made no progress.

Eventually, he gave up martial arts and as he grew older he was influenced by similar people like Xia Long, eventually becoming a drunkard and a good-for-nothing. After all, everyone is a hard worker if they see results from their work. However, when they don't see any visible progress despite working hard, they will eventually give up. This was also the case for the young Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen never practised martial arts there because the young Lu Zhen had given up on practising martial arts, abandoning the room for decades. Naturally, there would be such a disgusting smell in the room.

However, Lu Zhen found this strange, as there should have been some progress in his martial arts even if the previous host was untalented. Martial arts weren't solely about talent; although it helped, anyone could learn martial arts as long as their foundation was strong enough and they had access to sufficient resources.

Lu Zhen frowned as he thought about it.

"Young master," the guard said when he noticed Lu Zhen just staring at the door with a frown.

"Oh, cough, cough…" Lu Zhen said as he went to open the door.

Lu Zhen was about to knock on the door, but he heard an affectionate voice.

"Come in, my son."

Lu Zhen was quite surprised by his mother's senses as he entered the room.

"So, what do you want, my son?" Mother Lu said with an ignorant expression on her face.

Lu Zhen smiled internally, observing his mother's peculiar antiques. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"You know why I'm here, mother," Lu Zhen said with an expressionless face.

"Shh, you're no fun now…" Mother Lu said as she stared at Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen returned the stare as they both locked eyes in a strange silence.

Finally, after a long time, Mother Lu laughed.

"My son has finally grown up," Mother Lu said as she laughed, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Mother," Lu Zhen didn't expect his mother to become so emotional.

"My son, it's time I tell you the truth about your bloodline…" Mother Lu said, her tone turning serious.

Hearing the word "bloodline," Lu Zhen became attentive, actively listening.

"Son, do you know why you couldn't make much progress in your martial arts and didn't feel much attraction to women until you showed signs of awakening?" Mother Lu said, her voice pausing.

"Yes, Mother, I don't know," Lu Zhen said with a puzzled expression. However, he had already guessed that such things happened because of his bloodline, as Lu Zhen was quite normal in every area except for the bloodline part when he first transmigrated to this world.
