Chapter 251: Chapter 250 Rose’s Phone Call (2nd Update)

”Oh my god!”

Lu Tianxing’s face was filled with exasperation. How could everything come down to having children? Clearly, there is no such thing as a free lunch, he thought; there is a price to pay. The old man must be obsessed with having a grandson, resorting to bribery since threats had failed.

”Grandpa, aren’t we straying a bit too far from the topic? Weren’t we talking about the ring?” Lu Tianxing said cautiously.

”Don’t play coy with me. I am telling you, once I’ve decided on something, it won’t change. There, I’ve explained the situation to you. Zhiqing’s life is now in your hands. I can’t be bothered with it anymore. If you like being pointed at and called a famous military knife, a supposed king of the underworld, a ’Useless Judge,’ someone who can’t even protect his own wife, that’s up to you. Now, you can get lost.”

Bai Qiao Mountain was unforgiving, not treating Lu Tianxing’s status with any semblance of regard.

”Then I will take my leave first, old man. You should rest early too,” Lu Tianxing said.

Exiting the study, Lu Tianxing finally let out a long sigh. The old man definitely had gone crazy over getting a grandson; somehow, he managed to connect every topic to that of having children, making him feel almost neurotic now.

”Four Symbols Ring? I never expected that the reason Bai Zhiqing was being hunted was because of this. It seems the person behind the bounty on Bai Zhiqing has a substantial background, even the old man can’t find out much.”

Lu Tianxing mumbled to himself, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes: ”I have the Azure Dragon Ring, and the old man holds the Xuanwu Ring. Half of the Four Symbols Rings are in my hands. If I can gather all four rings, could it really open the tomb of the pre-Qin Qi practitioners’ and grant immortality?”

A thought flashed through Lu Tianxing’s mind, then he shook his head. He was leading a good life now, with a beautiful wife at home and several appealing mistresses outside. What was there not to be satisfied with? Why chase after immortality?

What makes a life magnificent is its richness and variety despite its brevity—it’s full of emotions and allows one to grow old with the one they love. What’s the use of immortality without a loved one by your side? Alone, watching the world change, you would feel like an outsider, enduring the loneliness and desolation of the passing time—who could stand such solitude?

Even if you could live forever, what about your loved ones, your family? Do you want to watch helplessly as the ones you love gradually age, turn to dust, while you remain forever young?

There’s a line in a song that goes, ”The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old together with you.” This line paints the happiest picture: growing old with the one you love, which is truly the most perfect life.

Without anyone beside you, what good is immortality?

Shaking his head, Lu Tianxing dismissed these impractical thoughts and walked out of the study, about to go upstairs, when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

”Rose, why is she calling me at this time?”

Lu Tianxing glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a moment, then answered the call.

”Honey, are you alright? I just got news that you were attacked this afternoon. Honey, you’re not hurt, are you?”

The moment the call connected, Rose’s anxious voice came through.

Hearing Rose’s concerned words, Lu Tianxing felt a warmth in his heart and said with a smile, ”It’s nothing, don’t you trust my strength? A few assassins can’t harm me, don’t worry, they’re not even worth my time.”

”Honey, I’m sorry, this is all my fault. If only I had investigated more carefully, this wouldn’t have happened today. Honey, do you know? When I found out that you encountered assassins, I felt like the sky was falling. If anything had happened to you, I would never forgive myself.”

Rose’s voice was full of self-blame. Before she knew it, Lu Tianxing had become a part of her life. If something happened to Lu Tianxing, she didn’t know if she would go crazy.

”Alright, don’t talk like that. I’m fine, aren’t I? And this isn’t your fault. The Rose Society does have significant influence in Modu, but it’s not all-encompassing. It’s inevitable that some areas can’t be investigated. Don’t blame yourself; they can’t do anything to me.” Lu Tianxing comforted her softly.

Rose nodded heavily, ”Mhm, I believe you won’t be harmed, darling.”

”Of course, you know my strength. Just be careful yourself, and don’t get hurt like last time. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh on you.”

”Harsh? Honey, how do you plan to be harsh on me? I just took a shower, and now I’m lying in bed. Honey, do you want to come over now and let me experience how you’ll be harsh?”

Although she spoke like this, Rose was actually sitting on the sofa, elegantly crossing her legs, her lips curving up slightly in a mischievous smile...

Hearing Rose’s voice from deep inside her throat, Lu Tianxing felt a surge of fiery desire rise from his Dantian and quickly changed the subject, ”Rose, how’s the situation in Modu lately? How is the Sky Alliance doing?”

Today was not a good day for going out. Lu Tianxing felt that if he let Rose continue, he might not get any sleep tonight.

”The Sky Alliance hasn’t made any moves for now. They’ve just massively retracted their territory, ignoring the provocations from both the Sword Alliance and the Rose Society. But knowing Huang Fuhu, this old fox, he’s not someone to give up easily. He might be secretly plotting something, or perhaps he’s waiting for his upcoming birthday to make a move against us.”

Hearing Rose say this, Lu Tianxing’s expression became serious. He recalled Tie Shan, who had been killed in the villa; invited by Huang Fuhu, Tie Shan was an ally who died by his hand. The Sky Alliance had always remained indifferent, which highly suggested that they still possessed a force not inferior to Tie Shan.

”Besides that, is there any other unusual movement?”

”No more, but the Sword Alliance’s recent movements have been suspicious. My people have seen them having frequent contacts with people from Japan. Be careful darling, after you killed their people last time, relying on Chen Dao’s personality, he won’t easily let go,” Rose advised.

”I know. If the Sword Alliance dares to make a move on me, I wouldn’t mind erasing them completely, making a nice gift for your dowry.”

A sharp gleam flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes. If the Sword Alliance didn’t know any better, he wouldn’t mind making them disappear forever.

Giggling, ”Giving it to me as a dowry, honey, aren’t you afraid one of your family members might blow a fuse?”

Rose giggled seductively, a tone men find irresistible, ”Honey, you said you’ve already given me a dowry. Shouldn’t I repay you? I’ve learned quite a few tricks lately. Do you want to try them out?”
