Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Lu Family and the Conditions for Killing the Lord of the Beasts
Yuan and Xiao Hua didn't wait long, and the former guard returned with a beautiful lady of noble temperament.
"Greetings to the elders," said the girl, bowing towards Yuan and Xiao Hua, "my name is Luo Ling, the eldest daughter of the Lu family who rules this city."
"My name is Hu Yuan, and as you said to the guard earlier, you should call me Young Master," Yuan said, frankly not wanting to be called an elder because he looked like an old man at the end of his life. "And this is Xiao Hua."
"As you wish, Young Master," Lu Ling said, and complied with Yuan's wish.
"Then what does your family want from me?" Yuan asked directly, not wanting to waste his time too much.
"Sorry, Young Master, but this is something my father will tell you." Lu Ling said as she bowed to Yuan.
"Well, then lead the way to your father." Yuan said lightly, pondering whether this strange feeling of satisfaction when Lu Ling called him young master was the reason why Li Qiye had so many maids.
Yuan and Xiao Hua walked beside Lu Ling, who was introducing Pang City to them, but unfortunately, Yuan was thinking of following Li Qiye's path and capturing the beauties and making them his maids.
Soon, Yuan and Xiao Hua arrived at the city lord's mansion, led by Lu Ling.
"Welcome to our humble abode, Young Master," said Lu Ling as they arrived in front of the City Lord's mansion.
Yuan nodded silently, and didn't care much about the City Lord's mansion, because he had owned many mansions larger and more luxurious than this in his previous life.
"Welcome home, young lady, and welcome, honorable guests," the guard said as he bowed to Lu Ling, Yuan, and Xiao Hua.
"Where is my father?" Lu Ling asked the guard directly, because she didn't want Yuan to get angry because he obviously didn't want to waste his time.
"The City Lord is in a meeting with the other honored guests, and it should be over soon," the guard reported respectfully.
"Oh, distinguished guests, you are finally here." A voice came out, followed by a handsome middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes.
"I beg your pardon for not being able to receive you sooner, but I had a meeting with other guests to discuss how to defend the city," said Lord Lu with some embarrassment.
Normally, a City Lord wouldn't be courteous with a mere Level 2 Spirit Warrior, but Yuan Yuan seemed to be as young as his youngest daughter, and from his clothes, he seemed to come from a big family, and the biggest reason was the deep and fearsome aura surrounding Xiao Hua.
"Defend the city?" Yuan asked with a raised eyebrow questioning and some interest.
"Young Master, what do you say we go in and discuss the matter inside?" - said the City Lord upon seeing Yuan's interested look.
Yuan nodded and followed behind the City Lord to enter the palace.

"Ling'er, go make tea for the Young Master and summon the other two," said the City Lord as they arrived at the guest hall.
"Right away," said Lu Ling and left the room to do her father's request.
"So do you want to help me protect the city from attack?" Yuan asked as soon as Lu Ling left. "But I will say this first, I don't care about killing people."
Currently, for Yuan Yuan, beast cores were more important than human souls, because he wanted to increase his strength to meet the fate.
(Author's note: Yuan doesn't know that his current body is a soul, so he doesn't currently care about soul strength.)
"Don't worry, Young Master, because the enemy is a tide of beasts," Lord Lu said, feeling happy at Yuan's words.
"Tide of Beasts?, Did you mess with the Lord of Beasts to cause a Tide of Beasts?" Yuan asked in bewilderment because it was impossible for a Tide of Beasts to occur without a Master of Beasts.
"I feel ashamed, but Young Master is right," Lord Lu said with some embarrassment. "A farmer killed the child of the Lord of Beasts and wants to destroy the city to avenge his child."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Beast Master should be in the most protected place in the mountains. How dare a mere cultivator go there?" Yuan asked, feeling his interest grow every second.
"I am ashamed to say this, but I will say that it is human greed," said Lord Lu, feeling more and more ashamed.
"Human greed, why don't you explain to me in more detail?" Yuan asked, his look full of interest.
"Sigh, I don't know how it all started, but a rumor spread that the Mountain Lord has a key to a mystical world full of treasures and resources. The people of the city were talking about this. It seems that the farmer heard the rumors and decided to verify their authenticity."
Knock !!
Knock !!
Knock !!
"Come in," said Lord Lu, seeing Lu Ling returning with a young man and girl the age of Yuan, "Allow me to introduce my sons, Young Master."
"This is my eldest son, Lu Ming, 20 years old, and he is a level one spirit warrior," Lord Lu said as he pointed at the handsome youth who had arrived with Lu Ling.
"Nice to meet you, Young Master," Lu Ming said, following his father's manner of addressing Yuan.
"And this is my youngest daughter, Lu Li. She's the age of a Young Master and at the peak level of a spirit apprentice." Lord Lu said as he pointed to a beautiful and kind lady beside Lu Ling.
"It's a pleasure to meet someone as talented and handsome as Young Master," Lu Li said, blushing at Yuan's handsome face.
"I am also honored to know a young and beautiful lady like you and Miss Lu Ling," Yuan said with a smile that caused the two sisters to blush, their faces turning into tomatoes with embarrassment.
Although they were used to receiving compliments for their beauty, when it came from someone as talented and handsome as Yuan, it had a much greater impact.
'Am I being ignored?' - Lu Ming thought upon seeing how Yuan ignored him and started flirting with his sisters, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly without saying anything.
"Well, let's get back to the main topic," Yuan said, turning his attention back to Lord Lu.
"Really, Young Master!!" - said Lord Lu with excitement evident on his face.
"That's right, but what will I get in return?" Yuan asked as he sipped the tea Lu Ling had brought him.
"This…" Lord Lu paused and sat quietly as he had forgotten for a moment that there was no free lunch in this world.
"If Young Master really does this, you will be the greatest benefactor of my family and city." Lord Lu said as he took a deep breath and strengthened his resolve.
"Not enough," Yuan said softly, sipping his tea.
Yuan didn't care too much about the Lu family's treasure, because it would be a Heaven-grade treasure at the most.
"Then is there anything else Young Master would like?" - Lord Lu Don asked further, because Yuan seemed to want something from them since he didn't immediately refuse.
"I want your daughters to be my servants," Yuan said, pointing at Lu Ling and Lu Li.
It was at this moment that Yuan decided to follow Li Qiye's path by making beauties and saints his servants.
"!!!" Everyone in the room, including Lord Lu and Xiao Hua, was startled.
"This…" Lord Lu didn't know how to protect his city, but he didn't want to sacrifice his daughters to do so.
"Brother Yuan, do you no longer need Xiao Hua?" Xiao Hua asked in a low voice, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
"Heh, why do you think so?" Yuan asked, stunned by Xiao Hua's reaction.
"Because Brother Yuan wants maids other than Xiao Hua, that is why Brother Yuan no longer needs Xiao Hua." Xiao Hua said with obvious sadness.
"No, Brother Yuan does not want to have more maids because he no longer needs Xiao Hua." Yuan said hurriedly as he pulled Xiao Hua to his room, wiped her blood, and patted her head to calm her down.
"Then Brother Yuan will not abandon Xiao Hua." - Xiao Hua asked with some hope in her voice.
"Sure because Xiao Hua is not just a maid, but Xiao Hua is my little sister and consort." Yuan said with a smile as he patted Xiao Hua on the head.
"Really?" Xiao Hua asked, looking at Yuan Yuan gently.
"Really, I promise if I lie to you, I will eat 1,000 needles." Yuan said with a gentle smile.
"So this is a promise," said Xiao Hua, returning to her elated mood.
"…" The Lu family looked at Yuan and Xiao Hua's interaction and felt that they had eaten dog food for some unknown reason.
"A-I will do it, I will become the Young Master's servant." - Lu Li said with a red face and did not dare to look at anyone, which made her look like a gentle and innocent maiden, but her thoughts were completely different from her appearance - 'The Young Master is handsome and gentle and certainly I don't mind serving someone like the young master even in bed, no no no mother said there are steps before getting to the bed."
Lu Li's head was filled with thoughts like this, which made her face redder with every passing second.
"This…, what about you Lu Ling?" - Lord Lu was speechless upon hearing his youngest daughter and decided to ask his eldest daughter, who was older and more reasonable.
"I-I also agree and will serve Young Master with Lu Li." Lu Ling said with a face red as a tomato in embarrassment, her thoughts not very different from her younger sister's.
"Sigh… I agree to Young Master's terms," Lord Lu said after letting out a helpless sigh, "But I wish Young Master to bar the head of the Lord of Beasts so that the people of the city could calm down from the turmoil."
"Well, that's for you," Yuan said, not caring that Ellod Lu questioned his credibility, because that was his right.
Difficulty: easy
"Okay, I will be back soon." Yuan said after seeing the mission notice and got up and walked to the balcony with Xiao Hua. "Xiao Hua, can you take us to the strongest beast in these mountains?"
"Hmmm" - Xiao Hua nodded as she walked beside Yuan.
After he called Xiao Hua's affirmation, Yuan took out the Flying Sword, jumped on it, and flew with Xiao Hua to the mountain range.
