Lu Zheng and the four women sat in the front row. Wang Han and the others also had front-row tickets, right beside them.
Wang Han and Feng Yixing had added Lu Zheng as a friend and sat to his right, launching into an in-depth discussion on kidney maintenance techniques.
Si Lingxi, Liu Qingyan, and Shen Ying each held a cup of milk tea and sat to Lu Zheng’s left.
Lin Wan sat on the edge, with Zeng Jingyi beside her, constantly expressing admiration. This made Lin Wan, the weakest among the women, rather embarrassed, which amused Si Lingxi and the others greatly.
Apart from Si Lingxi, both Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying had spent years disguising themselves as ordinary people in Tonglin County, so they were well accustomed to it. Instead, they joined in the teasing, praising Lin Wan’s martial arts with exaggerated sighs of wonder.
Indeed, after the initial slight awkwardness, the group chatted quite pleasantly.
…
The stadium gradually filled with more people, eventually reaching seventy or eighty percent capacity, which was impressive.
Soon, the full-armour combat match between the Gaul Knights and the Hua Country Generals officially began.
As in previous events, the competition was divided into individual and team categories.
Individual events included short weapons, long weapons, dual weapons, sword and shield, and mixed combat. Team events included three-person, five-person, and ten-person matches.
However, compared to the match years ago against Japan’s Sixth Heaven Club, the number of participants this time was noticeably smaller, but the overall quality had clearly risen. Even Zhang Tiexia, who back then was the strongest besides Lu Zheng, would only be mid-tier here.
The matches were fast-paced and thrilling. Everyone wore full armour, clashing with loud “ping ping pang pang” sounds in fierce exchanges. The enthusiasts in the audience were very supportive, cheering and shouting incessantly.
Boosted by the crowd, the experts on the field performed many high-difficulty moves with great spirit.
“Ding ding dang dang!”
“Crackle crackle!”
After a full half-day, the five individual champions and three team champions were decided. Wu Yue Club won the match with a total score of five to three.
“Victory!”
There was even a rather classical victory chant.
“Guaji guaji!”
Lu Zheng clapped politely to show face. Liu Qingyan and the other three women smiled and went through the motions. To them, this childish make-believe contest was less appealing than going shopping.
Zeng Jingyi could no longer hold back and whispered to Lin Wan, “These three seem to have little interest in combat sports?”
“Yes… indeed…”
Lin Wan nodded. “Girls, you know. It is normal not to like violence. And the one beside me is a doctor, so she dislikes it even more.”
Lin Wan meant Liu Qingyan, who sat to her right.
“A doctor!”
Zeng Jingyi looked respectful and nodded in understanding. Though her gossip instincts burned fiercely, she dared not probe into such private matters.
Lin Wan felt helpless.
With Si Lingxi’s cultivation and status, she could not possibly care about modern worldly opinions or etiquette.
Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan were only “weak” compared to Si Lingxi. If they truly unleashed their power in the modern world, no one could withstand them.
And herself?
Naturally, she could not settle for being an unnamed concubine.
Since that was the case, so be it.
Lin Wan reckoned that ever since Lu Zheng brought the three women back to the modern world, he had adopted a shameless attitude: neither initiating nor rejecting nor taking responsibility if discovered by authorities, the classic playboy approach.
Yet this was the clever way, as it let him retain the initiative and maximum room for manoeuvre.
After all, simps never end well…
…
“Brother Lu! We won!” Zhao Wenyu rushed over excitedly to report the good news.
“Good, good, good! Beautiful victory!” Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up. “I’ll come in a few days to teach you some little techniques.”
“Brother Lu is awesome!”
“Lu God is mighty!”
“Brother Lu, everyone is gathering for dinner this afternoon…”
“We will pass.” Lu Zheng waved it off.
He had come to watch because he genuinely enjoyed full-armour combat and wanted to take the women out. As for the dinner, no thanks.
“Exactly. What is fun about a bunch of guys eating together?” Feng Yixing quickly cut off Zhao Wenyu. “Let Brother Lu come with us. Tonight to Haicheng Star!”
“Forget it!” Lu Zheng said hurriedly.
Seeing Feng Yixing wink suggestively at him, Shen Ying asked, “What is Haicheng Star?”
“A nightclub!” Lu Zheng replied.
Haicheng Star was a famous nightclub in Haicheng, full of young men and women seeking pleasure. If anything happened, Lu Zheng could not stop Si Lingxi’s fury.
“The beauties do not want to go?”
In Feng Yixing’s view, since they were close to Lu Zheng, the women must be wild and surely enjoy nightclubs.
Lu Zheng coughed dryly. Liu Qingyan glanced at Feng Yixing. “You are only thirty, yet already relying on drugs to maintain performance, and recently noticing reduced effectiveness?”
“What the hell!?”
Feng Yixing was shocked and instinctively denied it. “I never take drugs!”
“Bloodshot eyes, qi deficiency and spleen weakness, internal fire with external cold. You have definitely used drugs.”
Liu Qingyan said calmly, “And long-term use, though supplementing simultaneously, but the remedies are wrong. The supplements have caused excessive internal fire, deficient fire rising, accumulated drug effects.
On the surface, rosy complexion and boundless energy, but the body is already overtaxed, strong outside yet hollow within.”
When Liu Qingyan finished, everyone around was stunned, looking at Feng Yixing with strange expressions.
Feng Yixing was dumbfounded, swallowing hard. “No… no such thing…”
“And you still want youthful vigour…” Liu Qingyan paused. “Continue like this a while longer, and drugs might not even work.”
“Then what should I do?” Feng Yixing asked weakly.
He had surrendered.
“What do you think you should do?”
Feng Yixing nearly cried. “I… I do not know…”
Liu Qingyan blinked. How could there be someone so foolish in the world?
Zeng Jingyi facepalmed speechlessly. “Of course abstain for a period. What else?”
Wang Han shivered nearby.
Lu Zheng chuckled twice and patted Feng Yixing’s shoulder. “Do not worry. She is scaring you.”
“Huh?” Feng Yixing turned sharply, eyes lighting up.
Lu Zheng smiled. “It is not that serious. Just soften quicker, finish faster, basically three seconds, easy to get cuckolded, but still usable.”
Feng Yixing: ???
“Bro! My dear bro! Show me the way!” Feng Yixing pleaded.
Lu Zheng handling four women, including a doctor, so openly, must have secret methods!
“Find a good old Chinese doctor to regulate you from head to toe.” Lu Zheng said. “Take it seriously. Do not ruin yourself too early.”
“That… your girlfriend…”
Feng Yixing now saw Liu Qingyan as a divine physician.
Lu Zheng shook his head. “No. She does not have a practising licence yet. She cannot take responsibility.”
Feng Yixing, “…”
“Besides, the prescription I just gave you, use it after you are regulated.”
“Thanks, bro!”
