Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Shirong was finally free from all the people and couldn't wait to get back to his room. The armor form of the spear was actually a bit uncomfortable, and he was not starting to feel the strain on his body. He had been continuously supplying spirit qi to his body to amplify his strength.

Otherwise he would have not even been able to stand, not to mention walk. It had been about five hours since he put the armor on, and this was the longest he had amplified his strength for. Lin Wu was also getting bored with all the useless talking that Shirong needed to do.

The only parts that interested him were that Shirong was gonna breakthrough, the tribulation platform, and finally the fact that he was gonna leave soon. He still wanted to read that letter and knew that he would have to figure something out for that.

Though the thing that made his heart ache the most was the food. It was taken away and he didn't know where it was kept. He had been salivating since he saw all the food and had it not been for his crystalline form, he would have created a stream of saliva.

"Young master, we've prepared a better courtyard for you. You'll like this one and it has more privacy too. We… also prepared some small surprises for you there." Clan head Lu spoke.

"Oh, you did? Thank you for the courtyard… though what is the surprise?" Shirong asked with curiosity.

He was glad that he would have a private courtyard again as he was paranoid about someone finding out about the spear. Since he couldn't store it in the spatial storage treasure anymore, he was anxious all the time, even when he had it on himself.

Though he did wonder what surprise the clan head had prepared for him. He guessed that it must be some gift since he was about to break through soon. He already knew that the other clans would be sending their congratulatory gifts tomorrow as well, and it was obvious that the Lu clan being his host wouldn't give up the opportunity to be first.

"Hahaha! Why doesn't young master see it himself, I hope you'll like it…" Clan head Lu said and walked away.

Shirong was a bit surprised that he left him like that, but then a steward came to him and said to follow him to the new courtyard.

Shirong nodded, and about five minutes later they were at the new courtyard. This one was located near the Lu clan and seemed to be even bigger than the one he previously had. Just from the outside, he could see that it was of a high quality and sensed the formation arrays that were set up in it.

"Hmm, seems like clan head Lu did his best to make it good…" Shirong muttered to himself.

"Please enter young master, this is the farthest I'm allowed to guide you. If you need anything, you'll find your 'personal attendants' inside." The steward said in a strange tone and walked away.

Shirong raised his eyes at this, but still entered the courtyard. There was a large garden right at the entrance and the inner courtyard's gate could be seen, decorated with the motif of a crane.

"Huh… seems like they modified it for me…" Shirong muttered to himself.

As soon as he got closer, the inner gate opened up and Shirong saw two rows of girls waiting for him there.

"Welcome Young Master!" All the girls greeted with a bow.

"Huh? What?" Shirong muttered, feeling a bit shocked.

Even Lin Wu was kind of freaking out seeing the girls there.

"Oh, no… oh no… no, no, no! NO! This isn't happening! Don't torture me like this!" Lin Wu yelled in his mind.

"Please young master, come in~ we have a lot of entertainment prepared for you tonight~" The girls spoke.

Looking at their attire and the looks that they were giving him, Shirong finally understood what Clan head Lu was implying as a 'surprise' before.

"Seems like clan head Lu is really intent on the alliance, huh?… well doesn't matter I already chose him so may as well enjoy this…" Shirong muttered to himself as a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the charming smile of Young Master Shirong made the ten girls blush, and some of them couldn't help but squish their legs together in excitement.

"Kiyaa~ Young master is soooo handsome!" One of the girls said and saw Shirong coming towards them.

"Well, then shall we go inside?" Shirong asked in a calm tone.

The girls couldn't hold back anymore and pulled him into the room. Meanwhile, Lin Wu was bashing his head into an imaginary wall in his mind.

"I can't see… I can't hear… nothing is happening…" He kept on saying to himself, trying to ignore everything that was happening around him.

The room this time was about five times as big as the one that Shirong previously had. And just the bed was huge, occupying half of the area of the room. Seeing the shy and red faces of the girls made Shirong excited too now.

"Let me help you change into something more, conformable Young Master…" a girl said as she came close to him and slowly untied his robes. 

Shirong felt like he recognized this girl and then remembered that she was one of the granddaughters of the Clan head that he had seen back when he first came here. But comparing her to back then and now, she looked quite different.

In fact, now that he thought about it… all of the girls seemed to be family to him.

'Did he really send his granddaughters for this?' Shirong wondered.

But looking at their expression and behaviors didn't make one think that they belonged to an aristocratic clan, rather it seemed as if they some high class courtesans. 

'What did clan head Lu do to them? Did he really get them to learn the 'arts'?' Shirong now thought.

But a moment later he pushed these thoughts aside and just decided to go with the flow.
