Chapter 1123: Chapter 1043: The Condensed "Seed," Mother and Daughter Invite You to Dinner!_2
As long as one of the origins is fully integrated, Great Xia will immediately gain a deity-level figure, not just a God's Child.
But Luo Yu was not short-sighted; since he embarked on this arduous path, he was determined to follow through.
After all, in this world, the hardest path might also be the longest and most promising one.
"Boom!"
Luo Yu appeared to transform into several afterimages, each enacting the secret techniques of the sword, spear, axe, and knife. If there were bystanders, they would have been astonished – how could one person have learned so many different things?
And to achieve such excellence too.
"Huff—"
Luo Yu exhaled lightly and made a motion to end his practice.
"After being in seclusion for so long, I've finally broken through to a new bottleneck."
He glanced at the still-shrinking hundred dazzling golden suns in the sky, left the Cyan Stone Lotus Space, and opened his eyes.
Upon opening his eyes, he was immediately struck by an intense hunger.
Although martial artists can replenish energy by absorbing spiritual energy, the body still feels uncomfortable without food.
"Steward!" Luo Yu called out.
The servant who had been waiting outside immediately entered and bowed respectfully.
"Young master, you're awake?"
"Quick, prepare whatever food we have at home." Luo Yu urged, feeling as if every cell in his body was screaming with hunger.
"Alright, right away," the steward replied somewhat shakily, sensing that his young master's eyes seemed so red it was as if he would even eat him, and promptly hurried to the kitchen to give orders.
"Great-grandson, you need to moderate your cultivation a bit, it's been nearly thirty days since you last got up," Luo Tiance commented as he entered from outside.
"Grandfather, you're at home?" Luo Yu said.
"Can't I work from home?" Luo Tiance retorted, "If I had to go to the front every day, it would mean Great Xia was in real trouble."
"Hmm."
Luo Yu got out of bed, changed out of his pajamas, and picked an appropriate set of shorts and a T-shirt from the wardrobe to put on.
He and Luo Tiance headed downstairs to the dining table.
"Your way of seclusion is indeed unique, gaining strength even in sleep," Luo Tiance remarked with amazement.
Luo Yu had a bitter expression on his face.
"What sleep to increase strength? Those so-called geniuses are secretly working hard where no one can see," he said.
"To say one can cultivate to greatness without effort is pure deception."
"Hahaha." Luo Tiance laughed, asking, "How do you feel about the results of this seclusion?"
"I've only improved a tiny bit, nothing worth mentioning." Luo Yu waved it off, but his mind probed towards his Dantian.
The familiar Azure Stone Lotus was dutifully spiraling at the center of his Dantian, and at the center of the stone lotus seemed to be a golden seed growing.
Hm?
What was this?
Luo Yu found it strange. Did he have a tumor growing inside him?
Upon closer examination with his mental energy, he recognized the familiar aura; it was the same sensation when operating the Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations.
Tch.
A condensation from the technique?
But why does it look so much like a seed? Hopefully, it wouldn't start sprouting roots eventually.
"Young master, old master, the meal is ready! I'll bring it up now," called the steward's voice.
"Hurry up!"
Luo Yu urged, not waiting for the dishes to be served before he began to wolf down the food, voraciously devouring meats.
He would not turn away any ferocious beast meat or nourishing spiritual medicines.
"Eat slower, don't choke," Luo Tiance commented, shocked, "If someone didn't know better, they might think our family was raising a Taotie."
"It seems I really have starved my great-grandson."
After ravenously finishing two tables of delicious food, Luo Yu put down his chopsticks, wiped the corner of his mouth, leaned back, and let out a contented burp.
Before Luo Tiance could speak, cracking pops came from Luo Yu's body, as if his depleted vital energies were replenished, his withered muscles plumped up, and his skin emitted a faint golden luster, making him seem even more bright and handsome than before.
"This..."
Luo Tiance, with his sharp eyes, immediately said:
"The results of your month's sleep are unbelievable. Just the strength of your body now probably matches that of a Third Grade Domain-level martial artist."
"Nothing extraordinary," Luo Yu replied casually.
After all, with so many inheritances and his hard work, if he didn't make significant progress, there'd be no point in cultivating; might as well lie flat and live off his family's wealth.
```
"You call this a basic drill?" Luo Tiance glared and then waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk about this with you."
"You know you're starting school soon, right?"
Luo Yu nodded and then shook his head: "I haven't had a proper break, and school is starting already???"
"It's as if I've ever sent you to school in the past eighteen years." Luo Tiance said speechlessly, "Friendly reminder, your holiday balance is insufficient, you have only three days left."
Luo Yu rolled his eyes.
"I know, I know."
"Going to school, you might as well switch up the place to slack off and live it up, it's no big deal."
"Didn't you tell me Sichuan Province Martial University is full of beauties."
Luo Tiance was too exhausted to retort, knowing all too well that his grandson, despite talking about slacking off, was actually a hardcore worker behind the scenes, putting in earnest effort.
Didn't he spend a month in seclusion without leaving the house?
Had it been any other young master, he would have found a bunch of sisters by now.
For example, Cao Potian of the Cao Clan, who inherited his ancestors' Heroic Spirit...
Famous for his tastes far and wide...
It was unclear if there was something wrong with the kid himself, his ancestor's preferences, or perhaps they both had issues.
"Grandpa, if you said Sichuan Province Martial University didn't have many girls, what would you do?"
Luo Yu replied without hesitation: "Then you'd better prepare for me to strike and not go to school."
"You brat, is that all the ambition you have?" Luo Tiance scolded with a laugh.
"I loathe gambling and drugs, what's wrong with craving something better?" Luo Yu argued with righteous indignation.
"By the way, four women called you during your seclusion." Luo Tiance said.
Luo Yu frowned, thought for a moment: "The Qin Lan sisters, and that mother-daughter pair?"
"Right." Luo Tiance found it amusing: "The mother and daughter have been wanting to take you out for a meal to thank you, but they couldn't get in touch with you, hahaha."
"Then you should go on my behalf." Luo Yu spread his hands.
"Forget it, can't you see that they're keen on you, the handsome young fellow? What do they have to do with an old man like me?" Luo Tiance shook his head, "Besides, I'm not in the mood to attend such boring gatherings."
"Ding——"
The telephone in the living room rang at that moment.
...
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Luo Yu discreetly chose a sports car worth over 30 million and had Chen Long act as the driver, to take him to a neighborhood on the outskirts of The Capital Base City.
As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw a young girl with long, shapely legs wearing silver liquid stockings, fluffy slippers, a belly-baring tank top, showcasing her soft, pale shoulders, and her perky rear wrapped in an ultra-short pleated skirt.
"Young Master Luo!"
Xiaowu hopped over merrily.
"What are you doing downstairs?"
"Isn't it because I knew you, my benefactor, were coming, so I specially waited for you?" Xiaowu smiled sweetly, but soon pouted, complaining, "Trying to invite you for a meal is so difficult, haven't been able to contact you at all."
"I was in seclusion, not in contact with the outside world." Luo Yu explained briefly.
"Hehe, I'm not mad at you, I know you're a very busy person, it's great that you could come." Xiaowu stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Let's go, we should head up, Mom is really looking forward to seeing you, everything's ready, we're just waiting for you to eat."
"Why don't you ask why Grandpa didn't come?" Luo Yu coughed.
"Oh no, why didn't Grandpa come!"
"Can we make it a bit more believable?" Luo Yu was speechless. It seemed the old man's analysis was right; this girl might actually be craving his body.
Xiaowu blushed and coquettishly turned her head away.
After going upstairs.
As soon as he entered, Luo Yu's eyes froze.
The voluptuous and beautiful woman was dressed in a stepmother dress, full of allure, with a tight top that perfectly accentuated her figure.
This demeanor, and you're telling me she runs a small business???
Luo Yu extended his hand, ready to shake hands.
"Benefactor, you've finally arrived." Bi Bidong came over excitedly, completely ignoring the handshake, and gave Luo Yu a big hug.
"Hiss——"
Luo Yu's heart trembled.
"That... there's something I need to discuss."
"Actually, Grandpa and I have been in disguise all this time."
