580 I Dare Pick It! (1/2)

Wang Lu hadn't felt such a strong sense of fear for a long time.

Long before he went to Spirit Sword Mountain to seek the path of immortality, he was already famous for being fearless while he was still in Wang Family Village. The word ”fear” seemed to be insulated from him. At any time, he always held the pearl of wisdom and had a plan in advance. Therefore, after more than twenty years since his debut, after establishing countless of miracle-like great undertakings, some people had begun to have a superstitious belief of him, as if he was truly omnipotent and fearless.

In fact, it was absolutely nonsense. Fear was the instinctive reaction of a creature to seek benefit and avoid harm. Except for those with broken brain structure, who could truly be fearless? Moreover, one of the more important qualities on the path of cultivation was to learn to fear. Fear of the surrounding, fear of the Great Dao, fear of the words of the sages... The truly fearless person was a person who fire deviated.

Therefore, Wang Lu found himself with very reasonable excuse about his current fear.

No matter who was in this situation, they would be kind of threatened seeing the sign on the plate written with the name Wang Wu on it.

”Your Majesty, whose sign do you want to pick for today?” the delicate looking maid asked.

Wang Lu kept his silent. He did not want to pick any sign, but rather flip the plate. The evil taste of this Heaven was really vicious—the grand ancient Earth Immortal actually made the palace fight scenario for him!

However, judging from her split personality, perhaps in the past, she really had once experienced a palace fight and ended up as a loser. Thereupon, two thoughts sprang up in her extremely broken heart. One was that, there was no good man in the world, which due to her resentment from falling out of favor. The other one was that, there was no good woman in the world, which was the unforgettable hatred for her peers.

However, the emotional story of the ancient Earth Immortal was not the key focus. Right now, he had to deal with his own problem.

At present, he was in a strange place, and everything around him was like a dream, but also like fake. The rules of this bet were also not clear enough. For example, how long was the time limit of not hurting anyone? What was the definition of hurting? These questions were all unclear.

Thus, the first thing he needed to do was...

Wang Lu looked up and then said to the maid, ”Call all the imperial concubines here. I want to have a special meeting with them to discuss something.”

”Ah?” The maid looked at Wang Lu incredulously. ”A-All the imperial concubines?”

”Yes, call everyone here.”

”T-This does not comply with the rules! In the harem, there can only be one concubine who comes to serve on any given day.”

”You are comparing me to those mediocre people. One concubine is not enough. I, the big-tool-good-skill, can have ten people at one time.”

”Your Majesty, this absolutely cannot be done in this way!” The maid anxiously dissuaded, ”How can you have such a ridiculous idea? This will mess up the harem!”

”I like a little bit of messy, it doesn't matter.”

The maid fell on her knees and kowtowed. ”Your Majesty, this absolutely should not be done in this way!”

Seeing the girl's determination, Wang Lu frowned and decided not to push it. He then tried to directly call through primordial spirit but found out that many spells and methods of the immortal path were unusable here. Thereupon, he realized that it was the intention of Heaven to cut off his contact with the others when designing this scenario.

That was, of course logical. Since everyone knew each other and came from the same group, if they colluded in this bet, wouldn't their victory be assured? Thus, everyone sleeping together was probably not feasible.

After a long while, Wang Lu beckoned the girl who kowtowed on the ground to stand up and then softly asked, ”In your opinion?”

The maid was startled by the words and incredulously looked at Wang Lu. ”Your Majesty, how could I give my opinion about this kind of thing? I, the servant, am ignorant, if I say something wrong…”

”It's okay, just consider that you are helping me remove one wrong answer, tell me your opinion first.”

The maid immediately looked distressed as if she was about to burst into tears, and her arms that held the plate trembled.

Wang Lu scanned her with primordial spirit and found that she was just a junior cultivator, just around Foundation Establishment Stage. No wonder she could not withstand his gaze. However, for her to be able to personally serve the Emperor, her status should not be low. Therefore, he probed further, ”In your opinion, what if I choose this sign?”

Wang Lu pointed to the sign of Liu Li

The maid was startled. She was about to speak but immediately stopped.

”Speak frankly or I'll pick your sign.” With that, Wang Lu deliberately licked his lips with his tongue and rolled up his sleeves, which scared the maid that she turned pale.

”Liu-Liu-Liu…” The maid's petite mouth blurted out a series of stutter, and it took her a long time to settle down. ”Concubine Liu Li is kind and amiable, and no one in the palace said anything wrong about her. If Your Majesty chooses concubine Liu Li, that is of course good.”
