Chapter 91

In a daze, Lu Buqi faintly felt something crawling over his chest amidst the slight sound of water. He suddenly woke up and grabbed a pair of soft hands that had reached around from behind.

"It's me, Big Brother!" Bu Hui's voice relaxed Lu Buqi's tension.

But then, Lu Buqi suddenly remembered that he was taking a bath, completely naked, which made him very uncomfortable. He slowly released the pair of boneless, soft arms: "Bu Hui, how did you come in?"

Bu Hui reached out and gently rubbed Lu Buqi's firm chest and back: "It feels very comfortable to have someone help you bathe. But I saw that Big Brother had sent all the servants away from the shop. Sister said you must be rejecting them, and that this should be done by me, so I came over."

It had to be said that Bu Hui's hands were very soothing. Moreover, Lu Buqi's mind, which was already in a state of confusion, actually recalled the scene of her floating that day, and he shamelessly became hard.

Feeling uncomfortable, Lu Buqi inwardly cursed what Long Buli had taught him. He then said in a deep voice: "I'm not rejecting anyone; I just don't like others helping me bathe. Bu Hui, you should go out first..."

"No, I still need to help you dress." The gentle ripples of the water reflected the determined light in Bu Hui's eyes: "Outwardly, I am your sister, but inwardly, I am your female slave. Sister said that this is what a competent female slave should do."

If Lu Ruisi saw this scene, he would probably be completely devastated. Lu Buqi also fell silent. As he was internally conflicted, Bu Hui lowered her head and whispered in his ear: "Big Brother, if you feel I'm not doing something well, you can tell me, and I'll learn slowly."

Feeling Bu Hui's hands start to wash his waist and abdomen, and knowing that the next part would be his erect member, Lu Buqi suddenly reached out and grabbed Bu Hui's hands again: "You've done very well... from now on... I'll do it myself!"

"Okay!" Bu Hui's eyes dimmed slightly, but she obediently stood up, wiped her hands clean, and placed a new set of black silk embroidered clothes on the clothes rack next to the wooden tub: "Sister asked the innkeeper to have someone buy these overnight. They should fit well. Big Brother will meet important people tomorrow, so you should dress properly and not let others look down on you."

Meeting Bu Hui's pure gaze and seeing the clothes, Lu Buqi's resolute heart couldn't help but tremble. He suddenly felt that perhaps the heavens had been too cruel to him in his past life, and were now favoring him in this one.

Suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart, Lu Buqi's manhood finally calmed down. Not wanting to drive Bu Hui away, he could only let her help him dress. Fortunately, Bu Hui seemed to be naive about such matters and did not comment on his male features, which made Lu Buqi sigh in relief.

Clothes make the man. Wearing the black silk embroidered clothes, Lu Buqi's hair was smooth and flowing, making him appear even taller and more upright, with a unique and distinguished aura. Although he wasn't stunningly handsome, he exuded a strong and masculine presence, giving off a sense of solemn and cold composure. From his appearance alone, no one would mistake him for a mere fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy; he looked like a young man in his early twenties.

Even Long Buli, a woman with an incredibly high spirit, couldn't help but praise him when she saw him leave the room looking refreshed: "Buqi, you look very spirited in this outfit. No wonder the women in the Eagle Guard keep looking at you. I was wondering what they were looking at."

Everyone has a love for beauty. Lu Buqi lightly pinched his nose: "At least you two are so beautiful. If I, as your brother, were too ugly, no one would believe we were from the same parents."

"Hehe... That's true!" Long Buli laughed: "Just now, Lu Ru yi came to inform us that Grandfather has agreed to see you. Someone will come to take you into the inner castle tomorrow."

"Where is he?" Lu Buqi's heart stirred. This Lu Ru yi was so attentive, but his intentions were not pure.

"I sent him away. He asked where Bu Hui was, and I said she was bathing with you..."

"What!?" Lu Buqi was quite devastated, looking at Long Buli in shock, which made her giggle: "Look at you, you little coward, scared to the point of changing color... Don't worry, I said she was bathing with you, not the actual situation..."

Lu Buqi was thoroughly disheartened. He suddenly realized that Long Buli was his nemesis and would one day play him to death. Thinking about Bu Hui coming in to serve him, he couldn't help but stare at Long Buli sternly: "Bu Hui has a simple heart. You, as her sister, should teach her well. I don't really want to treat her as a slave."

After saying that, Lu Buqi didn't wait for her response and went downstairs directly. There was no curfew in the inner city, so he could still wander around.

Watching Lu Buqi's back, Long Buli's lips curled into a beautiful arc: "Teach her well? What have I taught her that's bad? Hypocritical man!"

But Bu Hui, who followed behind, said to Long Buli: "Sister Buli, the master is not hypocritical. He really doesn't like others helping him bathe. I can feel his discomfort."

"Oh? Hehe... To be able to maintain self-control, his character is indeed very strong!" Long Buli smiled: "Alright, Bu Hui, you haven't been to this county city. Let me take you for a good tour. I heard they have a night market in the inner city, with daily necessities, women's clothing, and jewelry."

"Great!" Bu Hui smiled happily, as if shopping was a potential gene set by the Creator for women, even a mystical beast couldn't resist this temptation.

When Long Buli and Bu Hui came downstairs, they found Lu Buqi talking to a young man in a snow-white silk robe in the inn's courtyard.

It turned out that after Lu Buqi went downstairs, he suddenly felt a slight tingling in his spine. Recalling the insights he had gained while helping Lu Puxin, he sensed that his bone resonance was about to break through. Without choosing a place, he stood in the courtyard in the Bear Stance, using his strength to sense the marrow power in his spine.

Without a doubt, Lu Buqi's accumulated efforts had paid off, and he broke through again. As soon as he sensed it, he quickly found the feeling, his body leaped, and all eight major bones in his body, except for his skull, resonated like a bear's roar. A few palm strikes into the air stirred up a gust of wind.

It was almost the hour of the Pig, and there weren't many people in the inn's courtyard. Apart from a few servant girls who looked infatuated and a few envious servants, there was only one young man who recognized the skill. He clapped and exclaimed: "This young friend, at such a young age, has already reached the eighth level of bone resonance, and his strength is as heavy as earth, probably not weaker than a typical ninth-level warrior. Truly impressive."

Breaking through in strength was a joyful thing, and Lu Buqi was in a great mood. Seeing the young man's noble demeanor and extraordinary style, and his sharp eyesight, he knew he was not an ordinary person. His eloquent speech was also appropriate, so Lu Buqi naturally responded with a smile: "I am a martial arts enthusiast and often practice in my free time. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused."

The young man in the white robe shook his head slightly: "Friend, you are mistaken. My grandfather said that martial artists should have a passionate and obsessive dedication to their art to achieve greatness. Seeing you today, I deeply agree. I am Lu Feng. May I know your honorable name?"

Lu Feng? Lu Buqi's heart stirred. This person was likely one of the outstanding figures among the younger generation of the Lu family. In the Yunze Kingdom, a single name was a symbol of noble status, like Wang Bo, Wang Chen, Lu Yi, and Lu Ning. In other words, even if Lu Buqi had wanted to use the name 'Qi' initially, it would have been impossible.

"My name is Buqi, without any honorific." Lu Buqi responded modestly. Just then, Long Buli and Bu Hui also came downstairs, and he introduced them: "These two are my sisters, Buli and Bu Hui..."

"Brother Buqi, you are truly blessed to have such a beautiful pair of twin sisters!" Everyone can flatter, but different people give different impressions when they do so: "Lu Feng greets the two young ladies."

Like Lu Ru yi, whose casual and indifferent style was very annoying, Lu Feng, on the other hand, took a step further by calling him brother when Lu Buqi said he had no honorific. He openly and generously praised Bu Hui and Buli's beauty and expressed a moderate admiration, demonstrating excellent social skills.

Even Long Buli and Bu Hui, at this moment, naturally nodded, which was a significant affirmation, even though they didn't respond verbally.
