Chapter 152: Followers?

  "But you really stink!" Ye Lü Lü said with a bitter face.

  "My body is filthy, but my heart is clean. What's the harm in that?" Liu Qingwu continued to eat the monkey meat, glancing at Ye Lü with a hint of sly smile in her eyes.

  Ye Lü's helpless bitter smile sounded, Meng Qiu gave a thumbs up to Liu Qingwu: "Sister Qingwu, well said!"

  Lin Feng took a glance at Liu Qingwu and also felt the change in Liu Qingwu from inside out.

  "This opponent will be even stronger later!"

  Originally, Liu Qingwu's light dance was enough to be decisive. Now her will is even more resolute, and there is no doubt that she will become an extremely difficult opponent in the future.

  Liu Qingwu had finished eating the monkey meat and was now almost a mud person. Qi Ming waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, we've all seen your determination. Now you should go wash up!"

  Liu Qingwu smiled and nodded lightly, walking towards a corner of the valley. There was also a small pool there.

  "Lin Ge, you'd better go wash up too!" Ye Lü's eyes sparkled with amusement as she chuckled and said, "You stink just as much, go wash up together!"

  Looking at Ye's green and anxious appearance, Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "No need to wash, I'll go clean up." He said, turning around and walking into the forest.

  "Wait!" Qi Ming shouted, stopping Lin Feng.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Liudance, would you mind if Lin Feng bathed with you?" Qi Ming said, looking at Liudance who had walked out not far away.

  Liu Qingwu turned around, although her whole body was covered in black mud, a pair of eyes were still clear and clean.

  She glanced at Lin Feng faintly and said softly, "It doesn't matter." Then she continued walking towards the water pool.

  "Lin Feng, what about you?" Qi Ming asked again.

  "Never mind! I'll just clean it up myself." Lin Feng said.

  Zi Ming looked at Lin Feng with disappointment and shook his head: "Lin Feng, your ambition is no longer comparable to hers."

  Lin Feng smiled faintly: "Just stick to your heart." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the forest in big strides.

  "...". The eyes sparkled in unison, and a thoughtful expression also appeared on their faces.

  "Zi Ming, you're getting a bit too full of yourself." Ye Lü Lü started laughing, "In my opinion, all you can do is talk big, your ambition isn't even comparable to either of those two."

  Zi Ming let out a deep breath, nodded heavily and sighed: "Yes! I just saw the elders' mysterious talks more often, understood a bit more. I thought I could enlighten my mind and directly point to my true heart, but now it seems that I was just deceiving myself. 'Knowing' and 'understanding', it turns out they're not the same thing at all! In terms of willpower, I'm indeed inferior to those two."

  The direction of the Shui Tang, Liu Qingwu had already walked to the edge of the pond, took off her heavy Luo clothes, and didn't avoid the gaze of the three people at all. She stepped into the water step by step. The dirt on her body was washed away by the pond water, revealing a perfect and delicate figure.

  Meng Qiu's eyes sparkled as he said, "I'm also quite smelly myself. Since Qingwu doesn't mind, I'll go wash up too!" He then turned to head towards the pool.

  "Bang!"

  Feng Qi waved his hand and directly knocked Meng Qiu to the ground.

  "Hahaha!" Ye Lü Lü burst out laughing happily.

  "Big brother, isn't it?! Others don't mind, why are you still hitting me?" Meng Qiu covered his swollen face and looked at Qi Ming discontentedly.

  "She doesn't mind, it doesn't mean I don't mind." Qi Ming said calmly.

  "Zi Ming, it seems you've already set your heart on making them your followers!" Ye Lü Lü laughed.

  Zi Ming nodded and said in a low voice: "At such a young age, they have such ambition. Both of them are qualified to be my followers."

  Meng Qiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Big brother, isn't this decision a bit hasty? After all, we've only known them for a few days."

  "Talents are hard to come by, and though we may encounter them, they can't be sought after. This decision is absolutely not impulsive." Qi Ming shook his head and said, "The key is that I no longer have the confidence to win them over, their willpower is simply too strong."

  "But still worth trying..."

  …………

  Lin Feng entered the forest, took off all his clothes, and shook his body to remove a thin layer of mud from his skin. Then he took out a new set of clothes from the jade pendant space and put them on before walking back.

  After a long time, Liu Qingwu also finished bathing.

  Liu Qingwu danced lightly with bare feet onto the edge of the pond, her beautiful figure radiating a brilliant glow in the sunlight that almost dazzled Meng Qiu's eyes. She paid no attention to Meng Qiu's fiery gaze and changed into a new white dress before quickly walking back.

  After bathing, Liu's light dance-like movements added a few more points to her beauty. Her tender and delicate small face was like fine porcelain, and her soft and timid appearance matched with her clear and clean eyes, which were absolutely irresistible to men. However, deep within her eyes, there was an unparalleled serenity.

  Lin Feng looked at Liu Qingwu and suddenly thought of the woman who died at his father's hands.

  It is said that both Liu Qingwu and Liu Feifei have 70-80% of the looks of their mother, Snow Huafuren. Liu Feifei Lin Feng has never seen her before, but Liu Qingwu's appearance is indeed beautiful enough. At least Su Ying and Fang Qingsheng are absolutely no match for Liu Qingwu in terms of looks.

  Of course, in Lin Feng's eyes, Liu Qingwu's appearance was still slightly inferior to Ye Zi's. Ye Zi was the most beautiful one in his heart, forever and always.

  With a face that resembles her mother's 70-80%, Liu Qingwu is already beautiful like this, so what kind of stunning woman was her mother, Snow Hua?

  "Not bad." Zhi Ming looked at Liu Qingwu and praised her without hiding his admiration, "Liu Qingwu, you're really not bad."

  "Thank you." Liu Qingwu naturally knew that Qi Ming was not talking about her appearance, and she smiled lightly with pursed lips.

  "You actually laugh!" Meng Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

  "Hmph!" Liu Qing's gaze swept lightly over Meng Qiu, and her small face returned to its icy demeanor.

  Meng Qiu couldn't help but rub his nose, while Ye Lü Lü burst out laughing.

  "You're really great! Really great!" Zhi Ming looked at Liu Qingwu and said seriously, "Liu Qingwu, I'm willing to give you the opportunity to be my follower. You can consider it."

  "Follower?" Liu Qing's eyebrows furrowed, "What does that mean, are you asking me to be your servant?"

  "Of course, it's not a servant, but a follower. It means being my partner in adventuring the world together. Naturally, I'll be the leader, and as my follower, you must listen to me. Once you become my follower, I'll be like an elder brother to you, responsible for taking care of you and protecting you."

  Liu Qingwu swept a glance at Ye Lvgreen and Meng Qiu: "These two, are they your followers?"

  Zi Ming shook his head and said: "Meng Qiu is right, Ye Lü Lü is wrong."

  Meng Qiu couldn't help but smile proudly, and Ye Lü looked at Meng Qiu with a glance, also smiling, even more proudly and arrogantly.

  Willow gently dances with her eyebrows furrowed.

  "By becoming my follower, you will never have to worry about lacking resources on your cultivation path. With me by your side, your safety will also be maximally guaranteed. You will have the greatest possibility of becoming a strong cultivator, able to bring out your full potential in your cultivation journey. Liu Qingwu, I know you are a disciple of Xinlan Auntie, but what I can offer you is something that even Xinlan Auntie cannot provide. Not just anyone can become my follower; this is a huge opportunity for you."

  "But why do you need followers?" asked Liu Qingwu in confusion.

  "I am the direct descendant of an ancient family on the mainland, and I may become the next head of the household. However, it is also possible that one of my several brothers will take over, so I need to build a team that I can trust." said Qi Mingdao.

  "This is indeed similar to what I was thinking." Liu Qingwu smiled and said, "My current goal is to become the next head of the Kunyu Sect."

  "...... Light Dance Sister, how can that be compared?" Meng Qiu's eyes widened, "Kun Yu Sect is just one of the three barbarian sects in the south of Tian Nan, how can it be compared to Brother Qi Ming's family?"

  "Meng Qiu, don't talk like that." Qi Ming glanced at Meng Qiu and turned to look at Liu Qingwu, "How about it? Want to consider it? The resources I can provide you with are absolutely beyond your imagination!"

  "Hehe." Liu Qingwu smiled and her face lit up, as if a hundred flowers were blooming at the same time, breathtakingly beautiful.

  "Zi Ming, I also need a strong follower now. If you are willing, I will provide resources for you as much as possible, are you willing?"

  "Light dance, how dare you speak to Qi Ming brother like that, you're too much!" Meng Qiu said discontentedly.

  Zi Ming let out a cold hum, and Fu Jue Zi Wu swung his massive hand, slapping Meng Qiu's face with a loud thud.

  "Ouch!" Meng Qiu was knocked flying out, got up on all fours, covering his face discontentedly, "Why did you hit me again?!"

  "Serves you right!" Ye Lügreen burst out laughing.

  "That's just unwillingness." Zhi Ming nodded in disappointment, "Alright then, let's forget I said anything."

  Liu Qingwu smiled lightly and pursed her lips, with a confident look on her beautiful small face.

  Zi Ming turned his head and looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, what about you? Are you willing to be my follower?"

  Lin Feng smiled slightly.

  To be someone else's follower, like this Meng Qiu? Hehe.

  "I knew it." Zhi Ming let out a disappointed sigh and shook his head slightly, "Those with strong hearts don't want to follow me. Those who aren't strong enough won't become true strongmen, and I look down on them. Sigh! Building a team is really not easy at all! I wonder how my brothers are doing!"

  "Zi Ming, what you need is not just followers, but also the friendship of strong people." Ye Lü Lü said with a smile, "Don't be obsessed with having followers. For example, I'm not your follower, but as a friend, if you encounter something, I won't back down either. If I encounter something, I think you would do the same. Isn't that good? Why must others become your followers?"

  Zi Ming unexpectedly looked at Ye Lü Lü and said, "Lü Lü, it's rare for you to say something serious. Can't you not be so playful and smiling all the time?"

  "That's it." Ye Lü cut in.

  "You really treat me as a friend and are willing to help me?" Qi Ming said.

  "Has Ye Lü Lü from Wan Shou Zhen ever told a lie?" Ye Lü Lü pouted.

  "Haha, great!" Zǐ Míng burst out laughing, "Being able to gain your green and leafy friendship is not bad at all. This is worth much more than gaining two followers, haha!"

  Turning to Lin Feng and Liu Qingwu, Qi Ming said: "Lin Feng, Liu Qingwu, although you are not willing to be followers, I still hope to gain your friendship. I think we can at least be friends in the future."

  Lin Feng and Liu Qingwu exchanged a glance, Lin Feng smiled and said: "Actually, you have already obtained my friendship, I think Liu Qingwu is the same."

  "Haha! Is it?" Qi Ming burst out laughing.

  Liu Qing danced lightly and looked at Lin Feng with clear eyes, humming: "Don't replace me to speak next time!"

  "Hahaha!" Qi Ming's face was filled with joy, bursting into loud laughter.
