Afterward, Lu Yao was very satisfied, not only had he gotten his revenge, but he had also gained a deeper understanding of the Bone Tempering Realm, which was truly celebratory.
Liao Qe was still carrying a hint of blush, busy wiping up the large stain on the ground.
Lu Yao steadied her slippery shoulder and whispered, "I need to go home to take care of some things."
Liao Qe clasped the hand of her beloved, as if she knew he was going to do something violent, softly saying, "Be careful."
Lu Yao nodded, instructing, "You know where I keep my firearms, if anything happens, just use them. Is there anything you want?"
Liao Qe cocked her head and thought for a moment, then asked sweetly, "I want some snacks, the sweet ones."
"You have a sweet tooth, huh? No problem~" Lu Yao promised readily.
Then, the girl brought a basin of warm water, attended to his cleaning, and helped him dress, just like a virtuous and beautiful wife.
Lu Yao looked at her peaceful expression, itching for a round two, immediately hugging the girl's slippery, fragrant shoulders.
Liao Qe giggled, pushing him away: "No, no, sister said you can't indulge too much~"
"Ah? You have the nerve to say that when you've been squeezing me dry every day!"
~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao drove straight to the drug store.
Along the way, passersby made way for him, either looking at the boss's car with awe or envy. Lu Yao, however, found the thing quite unpleasant to drive, slow in speed; its only benefit was it could carry a lot.
There were also those who looked eager and aggressive, as though they wanted to rob him.
They were much more robust than average people, their demeanors fierce, clearly martial artists.
Lu Yao touched the AK by his side, not giving them a second thought.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the drug store and heard the movement, Keeper He and his two assistants were already waiting in attendance. Upon seeing Lu Yao, they quickly bent down to greet him: "Master Lu, my respects."
Keeper He's deference grew by the day; this old patron of his wasn't just wealthy and influential but also had a senior sister skilled in Organ Refining watching over him, and had entered Cloud City's "Hero Register." He dared not offend him.
Lu Yao, a man who valued old relationships, quickly helped the old man up. "Enough of that, we're old acquaintances, don't go through all that. Just hurry up and prepare the medicinal materials."
A genuine smile appeared on Keeper He's face: "We've prepared the items you usually buy."
Lu Yao nodded in satisfaction; he liked efficiency.
At this moment, Keeper He's humble demeanor caught the attention of the other customers in the shop.
Meanwhile, the three martial artists who had been closely tracking him were growing even happier as their 'fat sheep' seemed to be getting fatter.
~~~~~~~
Lu Yao drove towards the warehouse at the port, stopped in a deserted area, got out of the car, and shouted behind him, "Come out." But nobody responded.
The three martial artists, filled with uncertainty, exchanged glances, about to use hand signals to discuss their next move when Lu Yao grew impatient.
"I'm in a hurry, and you're really annoying. Such small courage for bandits~"
Lu Yao could clearly sense the greed and malice in his enemies' eyes, and with his telescope-like vision, he could easily spot them.
He pulled out an AK with the stock removed from the passenger seat!
His strength greatly increased after Bone Tempering, so even without the stock, he could handle the recoil. This way, the rifle was much shorter, making it agile and easy to carry.
Lu Yao fired the gun in the terrified expressions of the three men, releasing 7.62MM bullets at a rate of 10 rounds/sec, instantaneously turning the three martial artists hiding in the dark 50 meters away into porous carcasses—it was those same three men from the medicine shop encounter!
Lu Yao swept his gun from left to right in just 2 seconds, with only the third man realizing what was happening, but he could only desperately clutch the bleeding wound, soon breathless.
Lu Yao disengaged the rifle's safety at a leisurely pace, continued driving, too lazy to even glance at the three would-be robbers.
Now that he had the power to protect his wealth, he didn't need to be as cautious and wary as before.
After parking the car in the warehouse, Lu Yao took a pile of things and returned to Blue Star.
~~~~~~~~
It was 8 a.m. on Blue Star.
In the warehouse in the northern suburbs, Lu Yao pulled out his phone and called Li Lei to come pick him up in the car and also take the opportunity to sell some medicine.
The girl arrived before long, looking a bit tired but still spirited.
Lu Yao asked, "Everything okay at home?"
"Almost... My old man should be able to get a suspended sentence."
Li Lei appeared much more relaxed, casually inspected the medicinal materials, and transferred 2 million. "The medicine is 1.15 million, plus the 800,000 I owed you last time, the rest is interest."

"Interest... You're not short on money?"
Li Lei laughed, "Last time it was just a cash crunch. Thanks to you, I'm now a leading figure in the medicinal trade in our city."
"Then congratulations are in order. Take me to the jewelry trading center, please."
Both in good spirits, they joked and chatted as they got into the car.
