Chapter 240: Eat your gigolo? I like mature women
The rain hit the plum branches, causing ripples, and the flowers danced luxuriantly on the ground.
The slanting wind and drizzle blew in through the gauze curtain, reducing Ji Mengli's anger a little.
She held the teacup and took a sip to calm the turbulent waves in her heart. Even though she knew that Lu Zhan was deliberately slapping her in the face, she couldn't turn hostile immediately.
After all, this book was written by someone from the Black Water Sect. Although she had chopped the author into pieces and fed them to dogs long ago, it was difficult to stop the spread of the book.
This book has long been widely circulated in the Black Water Sect, and even some people from the outside world have paid a high price to buy it.
Lu Zhan was a playboy to begin with, so it was understandable that he bought it to read, although it was immoral.
How many men are not lustful?
Besides, what matters in negotiations is stability. Whoever gets impatient first will be at a disadvantage. She has been in a high position for many years, and although she has a bad temper, she also understands this truth.
Ji Mengli slightly exerted force on the teacup with her fingers, and forced a smile on her charming and seductive face. She said sarcastically, "Sir Lu is indeed just as the rumors say. His style of doing things is unconventional. He is indeed a natural seed of magic cultivation. It's worth it for me to come all the way to see you."
Lu Zhan smiled and praised, "The elder is just as the rumors say, with stunning beauty and excellent ventriloquism. Just listening to the elder's song was really exciting. I'm afraid I'll be tossing and turning late at night."
Ji Mengli narrowed her eyes, knowing that he was being sarcastic but not fully understanding the meaning behind his words. Then she saw Lu Zhan's eyes fall on the Xiao on the table, and her expression became even weirder.
Is this boy hinting something to her?
Ji Mengli looked young, but she was a mature woman after all. According to her real age, it was more than enough for Lu Zhan to call her "Auntie". After a moment of hesitation, she immediately understood what Lu Zhan meant.
Ji Mengli smiled more widely, but she felt a little unhappy in her heart. It seemed that she would not be able to gain the upper hand in a verbal dispute with this boy. However, this was not important. She saw that Lu Zhan had serious business, and the two of them meeting and making a few sarcastic remarks to each other could be considered as warming up the atmosphere.
Thinking of this, Ji Mengli restrained her coquettishness and became serious: "Lord Lu keeps saying he wants to see me, is it just to ridicule me in front of me?"
"If I say yes, will you be angry?" Lu Zhan asked back.
Ji Mengli remained silent, but her breathing was a little rapid.
"Just kidding." Lu Zhan put away his smile and squinted his eyes. "The elder came all the way from Southern Xinjiang to see me just for the Black Water Pearl. It seems that the Black Water Pearl is more important than I thought. If that's the case... why should I give it to you?"
Ji Mengli had expected him to do this, and said coldly: "If you want something, just tell me directly."
They were all thousand-year-old foxes, and they had already understood the meaning of the words. Lu Zhan's words were nothing more than an attempt to get more benefits.
Lu Zhanshi opened his mouth loudly: "I want to be the guardian of the Black Water Sect. You have gone to great lengths to win me over. Are you going to let me be your minion?"
The Black Water Sect's Dharma Protector is a job title, not a "bodyguard". According to Lu Zhan's understanding, the Dharma Protector has an extremely high status, and except for the Sect Master and the elders, the Dharma Protector is the next in line.
Lu Zhan did not think that the other party would let him be a guardian. Starting too high would be detrimental to the subsequent development of the organization. However, since he put forward this condition, the position given to him by Elder Black Water would at least be that of a hall master, and it would definitely not be a mere helmsman.
As for why he insisted on getting promoted instead of being a "collaborator" honestly, it was because if he had no ambition, Ji Mengli would doubt him.
Ji Mengli looked at him with a smile: "Why didn't Lord Lu tell me to let you take the elder seat?"
Lu Zhan said embarrassedly: "Hey, that would be asking for too much, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Aren't you asking for too much now? Ji Mengli remained silent.
Lu Zhan didn't mind and said to himself: "This pearl is so precious. I found it for the sect. This should be a great achievement. Since I have made a contribution, I should be rewarded. Besides, I will be transferred out of Jinling soon. According to my current status, if you don't give me a high position, why should I cooperate with you?"
Ji Mengli narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that Lu Zhan was about to be promoted.
Originally, she was planning to give Lu Zhan the position of helmsman, but if Lu Zhan got promoted, the helmsman might not be able to get rid of this guy.
Winning over a soldier and winning over a pioneer are two different concepts.
Lu Zhan is greedy and arrogant, which is a basic quality of an evil cultivator. However, dealing with such a person, although seemingly simple, is not easy.
The simplicity lies in being able to impress the other party with absolute benefits, but the difficulty lies in the other party being too greedy...
But if she didn't give it to him, he would hold on to the black water bead and refuse to let go, and she would have no choice... Ji Mengli didn't think she could use force against Lu Zhan. Since he dared to come to see her alone, he must have made all the preparations.
Ji Mengli thought for a moment, tapping the table with her white fingers, her charming face full of seductiveness: "Do you know what the requirements are for being the guardian of the Black Water Sect?"
Lu Zhan smiled and said, "I'm all ears."
"The guardian must first obey the orders of the elders unconditionally." Ji Mengli suddenly approached Lu Zhan. The fat ball that was about to burst out was squeezed into a deep groove by the edge of the table. A gloomy aura suddenly emanated from her.
This aura is extremely powerful, at least the strength of a half-step to the realm of creation... or perhaps the early stage of the realm of creation.
Although Lu Zhan is very powerful, he has not truly entered the realm of creation. He is not familiar with the realm of creation, but he can tell that this is definitely not the peak strength of the mysterious realm.
Under this strong aura, Lu Zhan was not in a hurry. He gently slapped his hands on the table, and in an instant, a force like water and fire burst out on the table.
Seemingly weak, it easily overwhelmed Ji Mengli's momentum and suppressed her.
"Um……"
Ji Mengli's body was pressed on the chair, her neck tilted back, her black hair flying, her red lips opened, and under this force, she couldn't help but scream out.
The exclamation was quite loud. The Black Water Sect masters guarding outside were always paying close attention to the situation in Luomei Pavilion, so they heard it clearly.
No...from outside Luomei Pavilion, the sound didn't sound like a scream, but more like a moan.
After hearing this moan, the expressions of the Black Water Sect masters all changed.
The evil cultivators who can follow Ji Mengli are not small characters. They have seen bloody seas and storms, and also seen beauties circling around the bed.
The moment they heard this voice, they sensed Lu Zhan's majestic aura.
"Oh no, is Lu forcing the elders?!"
The voice the elder made just now did not sound like he was discussing something seriously, but rather like he was being forced to do something.
An evil cultivator wanted to rush in eagerly, but was stopped by his companions: "Don't worry, if the elder is in danger, she will send a signal to the outside. Now the elder has not sent a signal to the outside, which means the situation is not what we imagined."
"Uh……"
"uh-huh…"
As the evil cultivator finished his words, two more extremely clear hums came from Luomei Pavilion one after another. The sounds were more delicate than the previous ones, and even contained a smile.
The Black Water Sect master's face turned pale.
You call this normal?
Could this sound be normal?
"It must be that brat Lu Zhan who used force on the elder! Lu Zhan is so corrupt and ruthless that he even dared to touch the elder! I will chop him to death!"
"But the elder was clearly laughing..."
The evil cultivators around Luomei Pavilion could no longer sit still. The noises inside were getting louder and louder. Their hands holding the knives were shaking, but they did not dare to rush in rashly.
What is the elder waiting for? Why aren't they being allowed in at this hour?
If they have a chance to shout, it means the elders’ mouths are idle… There’s no reason not to let them in!
Could it be that a group of masters like them guarded Luomei Pavilion just to listen to how Lu Zhan bullied the elders? This was too absurd!
……
In the Fallen Plum Pavilion.
Ji Mengli was trembling with sweat, her eyes were filled with anger, but she couldn't help laughing.
Just now she wanted to test Lu Zhan's strength, so she suddenly attacked Lu Zhan, wanting to see Lu Zhan's reaction ability.
As she expected, Lu Zhan was very strong. He suppressed her aura in the blink of an eye and pinned her down on the chair.
But Ji Mengli didn't expect Lu Zhan to be so bold that he actually used his true Qi to play with her feet under such circumstances.
The true energy nibbled at her bare feet like a fish, making her laugh.
Ji Mengli's cheeks flushed with laughter, her feet slightly curled up, she squinted her eyes and glared at Lu Zhan: "If you continue like this, the people outside will come in!"
"So what if you came in? I didn't do anything." Lu Zhan drank his tea slowly, deliberately acting frivolous and domineering.
Ji Mengli glared at her, but the feeling from the soles of her feet made her whole body numb, making it difficult for her to fight back. She turned her eyes and sneered, "Lord Lu, you are really good at bullying a weak woman like this. You have great means and courage."
"You are also a weak woman?" Lu Zhan stopped there, looking at her red lips parted and her rapid breathing, he said lightly: "This is just once, it won't happen again."
This was a warning to her not to make any meaningless attempts.
Ji Mengli covered her chest and looked at him: "The power just now was so holy, did you actually obtain the essence of the divine fire?"
The reason for testing Lu Zhan was not only to find out his strength, but more to test the essence of the divine fire.
Ji Mengli heard that the essence of divine fire could only be used by the Phoenix Clan, but the rumor was that Lu Zhan had obtained it. Those who obtained the essence of divine fire would have a holy fire in their power.
If she sensed correctly, there was indeed a holy fire in Lu Zhan's power just now.
This is undoubtedly Lu Zhan's bargaining chip. The stronger he is, the more the Black Water Sect will have to pay.
"This has nothing to do with you." Lu Zhan played with the teacup and squinted his eyes. "Or does the elder want to practice dual cultivation with me and take the opportunity to gain my holy yang energy?"
Ji Mengli was not angry. She knew that Lu Zhan was a frivolous person, otherwise his reputation would not be so bad. She calmed down and said, "I am testing you just to see if you have the ability to be a guardian."
"What's the result?"
"The result is no." Ji Mengli sat up straight and said bluntly: "You are indeed very powerful, but you lack respect for the elders, which does not meet the requirements of being a guardian. But Lord Lu is willing to cooperate with us and is willing to use the black water beads to show his sincerity. Naturally, I cannot remain indifferent. Although the elders are not good enough, I am willing to give you the position of helmsman."
Ji Mengli couldn't figure out Lu Zhan's thoughts, but she couldn't give Lu Zhan the position of hall master right away. If she said it too easily, the hall master would become worthless.
As for why a cult would talk about "respect" in a high-sounding manner, this was just an excuse Ji Mengli deliberately made up to squeeze Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan was so lawless in his actions. If she really gave him the title of protector, even if it was just an empty title, it would be difficult to control him.
Moreover, cooperating with people from the imperial court is like walking on the edge of a knife. It remains to be verified whether Lu Zhan is loyal to the Holy Church.
In short, Ji Mengli knew very well that when communicating with Lu Zhan, she must not lower her attitude, and it was okay to say things in a more unpleasant and straightforward manner.
Lu Zhan looked at that charming face and knew that the Hall Master was safe. This woman was just trying to pull the strings. Lu Zhan didn't want to think about her nonsense and just said, "Captain? It seems that you don't want the black water beads anymore."
As he spoke, Lu Zhan took out the black water bead and began to use force in front of Ji Mengli, as if trying to crush it.
This was undoubtedly a stupid act, but Lu Zhan did it on purpose.
The Black Water Sect's understanding of him was mostly based on his reputation in the martial arts world. Even if they had done a background check on him in private, he was not a good person in private. He did all kinds of greedy and lustful things. This showed that Ji Mengli did not know the real him.
