Are you laughing at me for not having a mecha? But I am the king of mechas!

Chapter 146 A Battlefield! The Mysterious Old Man of the Spirit Clan!
In a courtyard in Lost City.

Zhou Luo stood silently in the courtyard, as cold as a block of iron.

In front of her, Yue Lingling's almond-shaped eyes were burning with a scorching flame as she stared intently at Liu Qingxue, who was clinging tightly to Zhou Luo's arm.

Liu Qingxue's slender fingers almost dug into Zhou Luo's clothes. The curve of her chin was raised, carrying an innate coldness, like a snow leopard defending its territory. Their eyes collided in the air, sparking invisible fire.

Yue Lingling's chest heaved violently, and a pitiful expression immediately appeared on her delicate face, her eyes instantly turning red.

She quickly ran to Zhou Luo's other side, shook his arm, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Luo, who is she!?" As she spoke, Yue Lingling kept rubbing against Zhou Luo's arm.

Liu Qingxue stared at Yue Lingling in disbelief, but she quickly came to her senses and began to wag Zhou Luo's arm affectionately.

"Of course I'm Brother Luo's girlfriend!"

"Bullshit, you vixen!!!"

"You're the vixen!!"

Seeing this, Zhou Luo quickly separated Yue Lingling and Liu Qingxue. With a stunningly beautiful goddess nestled under his arm, Zhou Luo said with a headache, "Lingling, let me explain. Here's what happened."

Zhou Luo explained the situation clearly within a few minutes.

In short, Rakshasa and Lingxiu kept urging Zhou Luo to drink, and Zhou Luo got drunk. Then, somehow, he ended up in Liu Qingxue's room.

"Hey~ Brother Luo, why did you drink that Scarlet Wine Dew? That Rakshasa City Lord is definitely in cahoots with this woman, he's no good either."

Yue Lingling hugged Zhou Luo tightly, glaring fiercely at Liu Qingxue.

In an instant, Liu Qingxue's momentum weakened, and her guilty little eyes darted away.

This made Yue Lingling trust her intuition even more.

She had only been away for a few days when this woman named Liu Qingxue broke into her home. It seems she can't leave Zhou Luo for long periods of time anymore, not even a few days.

"Alright, alright, the three of us making the most of our lives is the most important thing."

"Anyway, you're all women, I won't give up on any of you."

Zhou Luo opened his arms wide and hugged the two of them tightly.

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingling let out a soft snort and buried her head to one side. Now, another woman was going to take away half of her Luo Ge's body. Yue Lingling felt uncomfortable.

Looking at the aggrieved Yue Lingling, Liu Qingxue felt very sorry for her.

"Um... how about we talk?" Liu Qingxue, nestled in Zhou Luo's arms, tentatively asked.
"I also have something to tell you!" Yue Lingling said.

The two women broke free from Zhou Luo's embrace and walked into the room together. Zhou Luo was about to follow them to hear what they had to say when the two women turned around and said in unison, "Brother Luo, you're not allowed to follow us!"

"Uh, should I leave?"

Helpless, Zhou Luo turned and left the courtyard. As soon as he stepped out, he saw an elderly man from the Spirit Clan drinking tea in the courtyard next door.

This old man is none other than Ling Ji, the second elder of the Spirit Clan.

This old man was quite interesting; he was like a mischievous old man, unkempt and giving people the impression of being unrefined.

During the few days Zhou Luo stayed with the Spirit Clan, he often drank tea with this Third Elder. Of course, Zhou Luo would also shamelessly ask this elder to guide his cultivation.

But these three elders were all shrewd individuals, and no matter how Zhou Luo tried to fool them, it was no use.

Zhou Luo didn't stand on ceremony and stepped inside, only to find that Ling Ji seemed unaware of Zhou Luo, instead pricking up his ears as if listening to something.

Ling Ji probably noticed that Zhou Luo's footsteps were interfering with his hearing, so he looked at Zhou Luo.

"You've come to ask me for tea again, kid?" Ling Ji coughed twice, tactically picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Zhou Luo looked at Ling Ji strangely: "Elder Ling Ji, there's no tea in your cup." "Really? I was thinking about something and didn't notice."

Ling Ji quickly filled his cup and then chatted casually with Zhou Luo.

"Holy crap!?" Ling Ji suddenly shouted, then looked at Zhou Luo with a hint of sympathy and pity.
"Elder Lingji, what are you doing, making such a fuss? What the hell?! You were eavesdropping on Lingling and Qingxue's conversation, weren't you?!"

"And what was that look you were giving me just now??"

Zhou Luo then realized what was happening and was equally surprised.

"What do you mean by eavesdropping? This elder has a high combat level, and no sound around me can escape my ears. I'm listening openly and honestly!"

"Each courtyard has an isolation array, yet you can still hear it???"

Faced with Zhou Luo's question, Ling Ji replied confidently, "Of course! My abilities are special!"

Of course, he wouldn't say that he set up all these isolation formations.

"You old rascal Lingji, it's one thing for you to play tricks on me before, but I never expected you to eavesdrop on two girls' conversation. You're really shameless."

"You're talking nonsense!!"

The two of them just stared at each other like that.

A minute later, Ling Ji's face broke into a grin again, looking like an old charlatan about to start conning people: "Kid, give me one of those spiritual energy cores, and I'll tell you where the treasures are in the Lost Secret Realm."

"Don't even think about it!"

Zhou Luo poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

He certainly wouldn't believe what this old rascal said; eight out of ten things this guy said were lies, and the other one was based on ancient records.
"If you don't want your future to be so miserable, you'd better make this deal with me. I promise I won't lie to you this time; there really is a treasure!"

Zhou Luo looked at the old rascal in front of him with a mixture of belief and doubt upon hearing this.

"If what you're saying is a lie, even if I'm no match for you, I'll still pluck out all your beard hairs!"

"Don't worry, you'll definitely thank me later."

After some consideration, Zhou Luo finally took out a psionic core, but it was snatched away by a hand as soon as it appeared.

"Haha, good baby, good baby."

The old rascal held the psionic core, breathing on it and wiping it with the corner of his clothes before tucking it into his robes.

Looking at the Pixiu-like Ling Ji, Zhou Luo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"This is a map of the treasure."

"Once you enter the Lost Realm, follow the route on this map. Since you're not a trainee, you won't be subject to the Lost Trial, but you need to be extra careful of the monsters inside."

"The destination is a cave, guarded by a peak seventh-tier monster."

"Pfft!! What did you say, you old rascal? Say it again, which level?"

Zhou Luo sprayed a mouthful of tea, covering Ling Ji's old face with water stains, and two glittering tea leaves were stuck in his nostrils.

Ling Ji wasn't angry. After wiping his face, he said again, "Can you wait until I finish? When the time comes, you take this Flame-Melting Pearl and throw it into the entrance of the Lost Pass. Once that monster enters the entrance, it won't be able to get out. Then you can take whatever treasures are inside the cave!"

"This bead is the inner core of a seventh-tier monster; it will definitely fall for it."

"If you do as I say, there will absolutely be no problem!"
