Chapter 160: I forgot to bring money.
Lu Yao didn't expect his senior sister to actually come... He quickly sat down properly as the two women crouched and got busy.
"Lu Yao helped us with the big dragon, and he himself also used up a lot of energy, so we should repay him a bit~"
While massaging the feet of her beloved, Liao Qe chatted nonstop, "With him here, it won't be long before I can cleanse my marrow~"
She was originally very talented, but she had used all her Inner Breath to help Lu Yao, which caused her to have the lowest cultivation level among them.
As the girl talked, she felt that something was off in the atmosphere. Turning her head to look, she saw her sister with her head down, silent and brooding; her beloved also wore a smile that was both embarrassed and politely restrained.
Liao Ya, without even glancing at Lu Yao, kneaded his feet with all her might as if trying to break them.
"Hiss~" Lu Yao took in a sharp breath of cold air, his fists clenched tightly. Although it was both painful and swollen, he felt guilty inside and could only let his senior sister vent without making a scene.
Their current state aroused suspicion in Liao Qe, who looked back and forth between the two, not understanding why they were at odds.
After letting off some steam, Liao Ya stopped her rough treatment and started to massage earnestly.
Under the attentive care of the two young women, a warm current rose from Lu Yao's feet, surging continuously up to his head, warming his facial features until he couldn't help but hum in comfort.
Moreover, the sisters worked together very well, with the intensity and pacing of their touches being quite delicate; it truly benefited the sinews and blood circulation greatly.
After the massage, Lu Yao felt thoroughly relaxed, both physically and mentally healthy.
Done with the massage, Liao Ya ran off feigning seriousness.
Liao Qe watched her sister leave and then leaned into her beloved's arms, asking, "What's going on with you two?"
Lu Yao awkwardly smiled, "Nothing much, just some disagreement about Aperture Points, senior sister doesn't agree with my approach..."
"?" Liao Qe didn't quite understand the disputes among experts and cooed,
"I'll talk to sister for you. There should be no overnight grudges among fellow disciples... and you are Spirit Refining Oblivion, they should listen to you."
Lu Yao changed the subject, "Hmm... I have to go home for a while. If anything comes up, just use the Fire God Cannon. When firing continuously, the recoil is really strong, so you have to be careful."
"Oh." Liao Qe nodded, "You go ahead, I'll go find sister."
~~~~~~~~
Humming a tune and skipping along, Liao Qe came to her sister's room, not bothering to knock before pushing the door open.
Sunlight streamed in, reflecting the external floral walls and corridors beautifully. In the distance was a green artificial hill by the lake, serene with water and stones, adorned with graceful bamboo and trees.
A cool breeze played with their hair as the two girls sat shoulder to shoulder.
Liao Ya stared at the picturesque garden, speechless.
Liao Qe spoke first, "Sister, what's going on with you and Lu Yao?"
Liao Ya instinctively crossed her legs and whispered, "Nothing... just some cultivation issues."
"But Lu Yao is Spirit Refining Oblivion, you should just listen to him."
Watching her sister flutter her big charming eyes, Liao Ya coughed and asked,
"Sister~ living together as three, don't you find me in the way? Should I move back to the old house?"
Liao Qe quickly grabbed her sister, "Don't! The three of us living together is good!"
She stood up, pointing to the beautiful garden outside with its exquisite pavilions and lush plants, "This place is so wonderful, why suddenly leave? I won't let you go~ I can't bear to part with either you or Lu Yao~"
Liao Ya let out a sigh of relief and softly said, "Then sister won't leave, but don't regret it~"
Liao Qe blinked her almond eyes in confusion, "You and Lu Yao are both acting strangely today..."

Blue Star
Lu Yao was on his way to the Marshal Tank Manufacturing Factory to check if the Fire God Cannon was ready.
Once this trade was completed, both sides would have built some trust, and then they could use it as a springboard to buy even better things, like cannons, missiles, and the like.
He had heard that the former Iron Alliance had left behind some "Tactical Nuclear Warheads" and the like, which could also be up for discussion. After all, 84 warheads had gone missing when it was disbanded~
Lu Yao strode forward cheerfully, only to realize after a while that he seemed to have forgotten to bring something important…
"All I can think about is flirting with Senior Sister, and I forgot to take money…"
Despite his boldness during the massage, he was actually quite nervous. After all, it was a bold move with no preamble whatsoever.
Just as he was about to run to a secluded place to go back through the door, his cell phone rang.
He took it out and saw several missed calls, all from that scantily clad Yukolun girl "Sanna".
But when he answered, it was her father's voice that came through: [моюдочьпохитили]
Semyon was in a panic, blurting out in his mother tongue before realizing and switching to Star Alliance Language in a frantic tone:
[Mr. Lu, Sanna has been kidnapped! I warned her not to reveal that $100,000! I can't find anyone to ask for help… Please save her…]
This father and daughter had helped him make a connection, and Lu Yao didn't mind lending a hand, so he asked, [Where is she?]
[Right in the black market of Kiev! They brazenly kidnapped her! Right before my eyes!]

The black market was located in a desolate abandoned factory in the suburbs, which made it convenient for Lu Yao to rush over.
He first opened his phone's navigation, then assumed the starting position of a sprinter and with a burst of energy flung his arms and dashed forward at full speed!
Kicking up dust and stones, Lu Yao created two little pits with his feet, accelerating to 100 kilometers per hour in just three seconds.
A poor little tree, its remaining leaves knocked off by the strong wind he created, swayed its branches as if in protest.
It wasn't long before he arrived at the abandoned factory that had been a huge disappointment.
Just as he reached the main gate, Semyon emerged from a corner. He was bruised and battered, his clothes torn, and his glasses remained only as one lopsided, cracked lens.
The engineer from the armored vehicle assembly workshop had clearly endured quite a bit of hardship.
"Sanna has been hanging around here for a long time. Somehow it got out that she received payment of $100,000 and she was kidnapped by the gang controlling the black market. The police won't deal with black market matters. I suggest you immediately contact Mr. Alexander to intervene…"
Lu Yao casually said, "Leave it to me." And with that, he strutted inside.
Semyon hobbled after him, a slight note of panic in his voice as he reminded, "You're just going in like that? Without any preparation?"
Lu Yao didn't respond and continued straight to the factory entrance.
The gate guards had changed since last time but still remembered Lu Yao, who had come a few days earlier to play "Russian roulette with three bullets".
Such a well-known person certainly didn't need to prove his identity; five burly men hurriedly cleared the way for him to pass.
Many of the hooligans and customers who eked out a living there recognized Lu Yao as well, murmuring amongst themselves before someone guessed he was there to stand up for Sanna.
Then some busybody called out in oddly accented Star Alliance Language, "Hey~ Yellow man~ Sanna is in the innermost workshop~"
Lu Yao nodded thanks to the drunken-looking man and made his way to the front of the factory.
Several burly men were already waiting there with guns.
