I Have A Martial Dao World

The respectful offering of a son-in-law is nothing out of the ordinary, and Yu Yanmei didn't think much of it, taking the wooden box and softly saying, "You are thoughtful."

But as soon as he held it in his hands, he felt the weight was off!

This small wooden box was slightly larger than a shoebox, yet it weighed a whopping 300 pounds! What could be so heavy!?

Li Pei also noticed his master's abnormal reaction and was about to inquire when Yu Yanmei opened the small wooden box.

Gold has a very high density—one ton of gold is about the size of a microwave oven.

To make it look more impressive, people often display it in an openwork manner, stacking it like building blocks to form a small hill, so it appears to be more.

Lu Yao felt that since everyone was family, there was no need for such pretense, so he put 3,000 taels of gold in this shoebox-sized wooden box.

At this moment, the wooden box had been opened, reflecting a golden glow in Yu Yanmei's eyes.

Li Pei, standing beside her master, saw it too; the two of them quickly closed the wooden box, exchanged a glance, and then slowly opened it again...

It was still a box full of gold! They hadn't seen wrong! It was not an illusion!

Yu Yanmei took a deep breath to calm himself, but his voice still trembled, "Lu Xiaozi, this is too valuable... I can't accept it..."

Lu Yao said in a loud voice with a fist in palm, "You took in an apprentice for over 20 years and gave him to me, this gold is nothing by comparison, please accept it!"

Yu Yanmei had helped everyone many times before, and just the other day had even used himself as a "teaching tool" for demonstration, it wasn't just about handing over a well-endowed apprentice.

Li Pei, who had a deeper understanding of her husband's wealth, also persuaded,

"Lu Yaohao is rich and doesn't lack such things, master, you should take it, rather than feeling lonely as a stranger in a foreign land, I can't bear it~"

Yu Yanmei pondered for a moment, then gave a fist in palm bow to Lu Yao, "Then I shall accept it."

Lu Yao responded, "No need to be polite."

Yu Yanmei patted the wooden box in his arms and chuckled, "This apprentice was a really good deal indeed."

Li Pei chided, "Master, what are you saying~"

"Had I known raising an apprentice was so profitable, I would have taken in a few more at the time~"

Yu Yanmei successfully broke through to the next realm and also received a generous gift. What used to seem like an impossible task was suddenly resolved. His mood had never been better as he playfully teased his own disciple.

Li Pei, clinging to her master's arm and acting coquettishly, was similarly overjoyed.

Her beautiful eyes turned toward Lu Yao, and she thought to herself: it's indeed scary for a woman to marry the wrong man, the old saying hits the nail on the head.

Finding the right husband really saves a lot of trouble!

~~~~~~~~~

When they rested at night, Li Pei exhausted all her skills to please Lu Yao, who could do whatever he wanted.

As a woman of substance, every part of her was a paradise of pleasure, and Lu Yao was irresistibly immersed in it.

Li Pei gave him a coquettish glance and thought to herself: you've been good today, so I'll let you be happy.

Three hours later, the night had grown deep.

Lu Yao, while caressing the fair body in his arms, said, "Now that your master's issue is settled, we should take a trip to Hong Renkun's Relics in Yuezhou."

This had been decided long ago, and Li Pei, curled up in his embrace, nodded, "As you arrange, my lord."

~~~~~~~~~

The very next morning, Lu Yao instructed Li Pei, Liao Ya, and Liao Qe to make haste in deciphering the "Bitter Cultivation and Enlightenment Sutra".

This autobiography of Hong Renkun had fewer than 10 pages left, having already finished recounting the story of the conquest of Jinling by the Great Vehicle teachings.

Within these last 10 pages, there were bound to be contents related to those relics.

Lu Yao's Mind Force was already strong enough that he did not need to use this scripture for training anymore.

To avoid wasting it, he left the precious opportunity to train Mind Force to his three sisters.

Everyone advanced steadily without haste.

As he thought about how this was his first time exploring ruins in the Otherworld, and that there were tomb robbers from Izumo there, Lu Yao decided to return to Blue Star to prepare some "ruins exploration" specific items.

But before he could set out, Yu Yanmei came to find him.

She was there to say goodbye.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yu Yanmei's original plan was to head to the South Ocean or the dangerous lands of the New World to seek her fortune, striving to advance to the Golden Body Realm within her lifetime.

It was not an easy task. Most would perish along the way or lose heart after repeated setbacks, choosing to use their strength to lead a life of luxury instead.

But now, the hardest part had been directly solved by her son-in-law, and truly, "the seas were hers to swim in, and the skies hers to soar."

Yu Yanmei was free to come and go as she pleased, free to choose her own path in life.

She thought it over for a night and also perused many newspapers, even venturing out to gather news.

In the end, she made her decision!

At that moment, Yu Yanmei called Lu Yao and Li Pei over and solemnly said, "Lord Zuo is recruiting troops and horses, preparing to march on the Western Frontier. I plan to join him and take part in the conflict there."

Li Pei asked in surprise, "Master, you're still set on leaving?"

"Silly meatball~" Yu Yanmei patted her sword hilt and said, "Even with Lu Yao's gold, you can't develop Kung Fu by staying cooped up at home; you have to go out and experience the world. And... I'm more than willing to go to the Western Frontier to recapture lost territories and crush the invaders."

Li Pei knew her master's temperament and obediently nodded, "Then, please be careful, Master."

Lu Yao also said, "Then I wish Grandmaster Yu a smooth journey." Experience more tales on empire

Yu Yanmei replied carefree, "No need to worry, with my ability to move around, I can come over whenever I miss you all."

She hugged Li Pei, then gave Lu Yao a fist salute and turned to leave.

Li Pei watched her master's retreating figure and whispered softly, "It's for the best. For Master, wielding her sword for the people of the world is far more enjoyable than fighting overseas."

~~~~~~~~

After Yu Yanmei left, Li Pei continued to decipher books with the Liao Family Sisters.

Lu Yao, stealing some leisure amidst his busy schedule, went to the pavilion to read the newspaper.

Su Erya brought the newspapers and read them in a well-behaved manner:

"Uncle Master, the newspapers are all about Lord Zuo recruiting troops and horses for the march on the Western Frontier. He's offering his own Cultivation Techniques as a reward, attracting many martial artists to join him."

"There's also news about Emperor Yong'an holding a coronation ceremony on the first of next month..."

Su Erya continued, "Foreigners are still at war, with many people dying every day."

At a glance, Lu Yao saw that the most eye-catching aspect of the current war was England, France, and Germany, each digging 700-kilometer-long trenches to confront each other.

Trench warfare caused immense suffering to both sides, enough to make them long for death to end their pain.

The recent surge in the price of gauze was precisely because it could be used to dress wounds and, being white, was also suitable for wrapping corpses.

Zhang Jin, leveraging Lu Yao's reputation, had successfully established a factory and settled in. His flagship product was precisely—gauze!

Just then, Su Erya handed Lu Yao a newspaper with a picture, saying, "Uncle Master, look, this airship seems really fun."

The caption read: [Jiade launches Zeppelin Airship bombardment on Einheit again]

Apart from dropping poison gas shells from the trenches, Jiade frequently dispatched airship squads to bomb the area.

"I remember it won't be long, just a few years, before airplanes catch up in performance and completely outclass these clumsy airships."

Lu Yao viewed the brawl between the great powers as a spectacle, but some aspects were cause for concern—

The longer-lived vampire scientists were accelerating the pace of war machinery development considerably!
