I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 316 - 42: I Must Abstain from Lust

However, it would have been better if he hadn’t spoken; as soon as he did, women began to reply.

"Young Master, please don’t go practice martial arts. Spend more time with me, will you?"

"Master, I just love it when you take care of me, won’t you come take care of me soon?"

"I want the Master to take care of me too, you all are not allowed to fight with me..."

A group of women chirped incessantly, and Lu Chengfeng’s face turned slightly green. If not for maintaining his persona, he would have fled long ago. Although he had many women, they were all quite submissive, unlike these women who didn’t shy away from anything and weren’t afraid of him at all. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Lu Chengfeng, exerting all his strength, broke into a sweat before finally freeing himself from these women, then slipped into the room where Du Mengyan was staying.

There was no choice. Almost all the rooms in the Brocade Palace were filled with women. Previously, when Yi Wushuang rested, he would either summon a large group of women or favor a particular beauty for a time, yet he would never sleep alone.

When he entered Du Mengyan’s room, he closed the door with a bang, letting out a sigh of relief, though most of his clothes had almost been stripped off by now.

Du Mengyan, upon seeing him, initially showed delight, then followed with a hint of mocking expression. If it weren’t inconvenient for her to speak now, she would have surely ridiculed him mercilessly.

Lu Chengfeng walked into the room, picked up the teapot on the table, and, too lazy to use a cup, gulped down a few large swigs, feeling much better for it.

The earlier situation was terrifying, mainly because he couldn’t use force, nor could he act too differently from his usual self. He nearly succumbed to temptation.

After all, each of those women was meticulously chosen, remarkably enchanting, each with their own extraordinary attributes, enough to dazzle anyone at first glance.

Initially, Lu Chengfeng managed to maintain a façade of integrity, but he wasn’t a paragon of virtue from the start, inherently lustful, and being swarmed by so many women, he felt his heart itch slightly.

He almost couldn’t control himself, nearly engaging in a battle.

After downing several gulps of cool tea, he finally felt the flames in his chest somewhat doused and murmured to himself, "Indeed, a gentle embrace is a hero’s grave. From today onwards, this young master will abstain from lust."

That statement caused Du Mengyan to involuntarily let out a snigger.

Lu Chengfeng looked at her and said, "What are you laughing at? This young master is a man of his word."

Even within Yi Wushuang’s bedchamber, he remained extremely vigilant, not uttering words that didn’t align with his identity,

Especially since he was deep within enemy territory, who could be sure if the Grand Array of the Celestial Law-Controlling Sect could see into this place.

And Yi Mingshu, that old man’s powers were unfathomable; it would be unfortunate if he was observing this place through some magic.

Though Lu Chengfeng’s senses grew exceptionally keen as he gradually refined Chu Xiangtian’s gift, he was unwilling to take unnecessary risks.

He scrutinized Du Mengyan closely and said somewhat disdainfully, "You’re pitifully lifeless right now, truly irritating. How will you serve this young master like this?"

"If you need any treasures to recover from your injuries, speak up so you can heal quickly and serve this young master, understand?"

Of course, Du Mengyan knew the man was using this method to urge her to recover quickly, but she was still somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude, letting out a cold snort and turning her head away.

Lu Chengfeng didn’t spend any more time on her, casually saying, "If you need anything, just instruct the servants, heal your injuries quickly, and stop showing such a lifeless appearance."

"I still have martial arts to practice and no time to bother with you."

With that, he took off his boots, climbed onto Du Mengyan’s bed, and then sat cross-legged, slowly unfolding the scroll.

Instantly, an exquisitely detailed landscape painting unfurled before him, shrouded as if in a misty haze, exuding a faint presence of Tao Essence.

"Wow, is this another Magical Treasure? Yi Mingshu as the Sect Leader certainly is affluent, far superior to my position as Sect Leader of Yun Cang Mountain."

"The Celestial Law-Controlling Sect’s heritage over ten thousand years is truly unfathomable."

He shook his head; simply put, there must be deep secrets within the Dharma Form Palace; otherwise, an endless ocean-like Tao Essence wouldn’t be floating within it, and Yi Mingshu often secluded himself there.

Lu Chengfeng stopped thinking further, focusing his attention on the Mountain and River Map in his hands.
