Chapter 274: 274. Caught in an affair
"Star Alliance Country has repeatedly created trouble in the international community, trying to extradite you for trial."
Gao Lujie slowly said, "We've made utmost efforts to ensure your safety within the country. Please keep a low profile and wait for things to calm down, and absolutely refrain from any more reckless actions."
Lu Yao nodded and said, "I've always been a law-abiding citizen, look at how many musical instruments I've bought. It's all to calm down and cultivate my sentiments."
"That's wonderful," Gao Lujie said cheerfully. "I hope you can understand."
"Of course~"
The two exchanged pleasantries with Ping An before going their separate ways.
Once Lu Yao had gone far away.
Liu Man then said, "Someone suggested sending him to 'Moscow' for refuge, and I think that's not a bad idea."
Gao Lujie gave his partner a look and spoke in a lowered voice:
"I'm telling you... can you not always be so hostile? The higher-ups have said not to treat him as an enemy. If we send him abroad, with Star Alliance Country's methods, trouble will arise within three days."
Liu Man had her reasons: "With a 200-million bounty and being the focus of public attention, countless eyes are on him. It's too risky to keep him in the country."
Gao Lujie retorted, "What we say doesn't count. He returned in the most advanced fighter jet, they won't easily hand him over." Your journey continues on empire
...
The two argued for a while, unaware that their conversation, a hundred meters away, was heard loud and clear by Lu Yao, who was using the power of his Mind Force to listen in.
~~~~~~~~
"If it really doesn't work out, going abroad isn't so bad either, better than being restrained."
At heart, Lu Yao was someone who disliked causing trouble for others, and equally disliked being indebted to them.
In plain terms, his sense of pride was simply too strong.
Musing absentmindedly, he returned home, put on sunglasses, lay in the yard, and enjoyed the warm sunlight of Blue Star while waiting for his goods to arrive.
By the evening of the second day, the nearly hundred-square-meter garage was crammed full of various items.
He had initially torn off all the instruction manuals and labels, vigorously covering up any traces.
But as his cultivation grew and his relationship with the ladies deepened, he gradually stopped doing that.
The special aspects of himself just couldn't be hidden from those who shared his pillow; currently, everyone maintained a "don't ask, don't tell" understanding.
Someday, when he had amassed enough power, Lu Yao wanted to take his women back to Blue Star for fun, to show them this even more colorful and dazzling world.
Moreover, when he had children, it would be natural to return to his homeland to recognize his ancestry and heritage.
"With the effort I put into sowing, always filling to the brim, logically, there should be results by now..."
With this thought and a bit of doubt, Lu Yao opened the Dimensional Door, letting the green, whirlpool-shaped light portal swallow everything.
~~~~~~~~~
It was 9 PM in the Otherworld, and the night was already dark.
As soon as Lu Yao stepped out, he saw a damp figure approaching—Liao Ya.
She had just finished her training and was drenched in sweat, emitting a delicate fragrance from afar.
Lu Yao blocked her path with a mischievous grin, moving wherever she tried to go.
The younger sister glared at him and said, "You stinky junior brother, move aside, I need to clean up!"
"There's no water~" Lu Yao teased, inching closer, "How about~ I help you lick your whole body dry... ah puh~"
Before he could finish, his senior sister gave him a strong thump, sending out a blast of white energy.
Unfortunately, the senior sister's mildly irritated blow couldn't affect her junior brother, who was now a full realm higher than her.
Liao Ya looked at her fist and sighed, "I always feel like you're still that little junior brother following behind me, when did you become so powerful..."
There was a time when Liao Ya was the backbone of the household, but imperceptibly, Lu Yao had taken over that role.
Lu Yao, rubbing the spot where he was hit, cheekily reached out and said, "Senior sister, that hurts, you'll have to let me get back at you."
Liao Ya covered her chest and backed away, "Keep dreaming, you want to do something filthy, outmatch me by two realms first~"
The girl swung her braids and headed straight for her room, deciding not to wash up after all—she smelled nice as it was.
Lu Yao felt pleased inside; for some reason, he just enjoyed teasing his senior sister.
But as soon as he turned around, his smile froze—Li Pei was standing in the corner's shadow.
"Tsk tsk~" She smacked her lips, her expression mockingly amused, "So it turns out you and your senior sister have a love affair!"
"Don't put it in such an ugly way," Lu Yao's face couldn't hold up, "How long have you been watching?"
"From when you said 'you were going to lick someone clean'," she replied.
"How did I not sense you... oh right, you had no hostility at all. Damn, I was careless! I can't rely too much on Divine Sense Perception!"
Lu Yao cleared his throat, trying to change the subject with an embarrassed face, "Is your master okay now?"
"Her aura has been getting stronger by the day, pretty much in the bag," Li Pei said, her cheerful laugh becoming broader, "Don't change the subject, tell me~ what's the deal with you and your dear senior sister, what does 'outmatch her by two realms' mean?"
Lu Yao seriously explained, "Actually, senior sister and I had an agreement long ago, to enter into a 'sect companionship' once I exceeded her by two realms. This agreement was even made before we became close."
Li Pei first expressed understanding, "No wonder her marriage proposal rejections! I'm so stupid—it's like asking the tiger for its skin~"
Then, she wrapped her arm around her sweetheart's and cooed, "Even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would've helped integrate Liao Ya into our home. Such a fine lady shouldn't be wasted on outsiders."
"That's quite embarrassing," Lu Yao scratched his head sheepishly, then cautioned, "But keep it secret for now, especially from Liao Qe."
"I can't let you off that easily~" Li Pei narrowed her eyes, a hint of jealousy in her tone.
After finishing their talk, he lifted Li Pei by her waist and carried her back to their room.
Li Pei squinted happily, coming from a Royal background, she was relatively more accepting of her husband having multiple wives and concubines.
She was still a little jealous inside, but as long as her husband treated them equally, she naturally had no complaints.

Early the next morning
Yu Yanmei's vitality was so strong that one could feel it without even trying to sense it.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Looks like she's succeeded, she's consolidating now."
The three ladies, Li Pei included, sighed with relief.
Liao Qe excitedly said, "Should we host a banquet to celebrate?"
Liao Ya felt it might be inappropriate, "Grandmaster Yu has a reserved nature; she might not appreciate it. Let's not make decisions without her consent."
Lu Yao suggested, "Senior sister, you can dig something out from under your bed as a celebratory gift."
Under Liao Ya's bed lay half a ton of gold, roughly 10,000 taels, which they had snatched from Zhang Xin. She wasn't stingy and nodded in agreement before preparing to present it.
