Although everyone around was one of their own, the shadowy ninja was running back and forth, and the little yellow chicken was also very busy.
But Reiju still wanted to hide.
"I'll help you with this big problem."
She thus gained leverage over Luo Zhen and then led him into the room.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Reiju?"
Upon entering the room, Luo Zhen frowned and began to inquire.
“We are only husband and wife in name only, there’s no need for that. We can be good friends and good partners.”
Luo Zhen gently shook his head. Even now, Reiju could still turn back.
"Once I conquer this world, this so-called marital relationship can be dissolved..."
Before Luo Zhen could finish speaking, Reiju pressed her finger against his lips.
"Will it really be lifted? Would you really let go of me, your 'wife' who's so easily within your grasp?"
Reiju narrowed her eyes, and with her other hand, she gently stroked the handle of Luo Zhen's halberd.
"I won't."
Luo Zhen had no need to lie; he admired Reiju's beauty and figure, and a hint of desire and possessiveness was indeed evident.
As he said, he probably also had some ulterior motives, wanting to devour Reiju.
"Hmm~ So, you're also very interested in me, we're a perfect match."
"Luo Zhen, do you think it's possible for me to fall in love with someone else after meeting you?"
Reiju's words caused Luo Zhen's brain to freeze for a moment.
"No, how did you come to that conclusion?"
Luo Zhen wasn't narcissistic; he didn't think he had any outstanding qualities that would impress Reiju.
"I just like you. No one else means anything to me."
As Reiju spoke, she pressed her body against Ryouma's.
"These are my honest thoughts, and they have nothing to do with any orders from the family."
Her hand gradually slipped into Luo Zhen's pants and directly grasped the hot, burning snake.
"Phew~ It feels like a branding iron. Here, use this to leave your unique mark on me."
She pressed her breasts against him, and the two soft mounds of flesh deformed slightly. The slight elasticity and pressure made Luo Zhen's heart tremble.
Reiju's hands were soft and delicate, and she was carefully feeling around them, as if trying to memorize the size and shape of the object in her palm.
"One hand isn't enough."
Her breathing became rapid, and a certain alluring feeling rippled through her.
Luo Zhen could smell a faint scent emanating from her.
This is a poisonous pink moth. She can poison others silently, and can even release the poison simply by standing still.
Facing Luo Zhen, she naturally restrained the release of her toxins, completely controlling them so that not a single trace would leak out.
But Luo Zhen never cared, because he had a close relationship with Reiju and had already obtained poison-related powers. He could be immune to poisons and even directly attach poisons to his attacks.
Now, after a heart-to-heart talk, his relationship with Reiju has progressed further, and the two have become even closer.
This unique power within Luo Zhen was further enhanced.
Reiju's movements were quite clumsy, after all, she was a complete novice and had never been exposed to this kind of thing before.
She had to start learning from scratch, figuring things out little by little.
But she was indeed very talented and quickly found a usable method.
That is to observe Luo Zhen's expression.
As she made a series of small movements with her hands, Luo Zhen's expression would change slightly.
Through these changes, Reiju understood what she should do and where she should attack.
Luo Zhen held her tightly in his arms, inhaling her alluring fragrance up close.
"Yes, that's it, we can get closer."
"Hehe, it's so hard here, I'm too embarrassed to go out and see people."
"Today I'll help you release your pent-up emotions with my hands first, and then we can have a more in-depth discussion later."
Reiju smiled broadly; their relationship had indeed progressed further.
However, if she wants to develop the relationship to a deeper level, Reiju still needs to be mentally prepared.
What else? Luo Zhen's halberd handle is right here; she's seen it and even measured it by hand.
She felt like she was going to die if she put such a big thing inside her.
So of course she needs some time to prepare, otherwise she probably won't be able to get over that mental hurdle.
"Reiju, keep accelerating."
Luo Zhen placed his hands on her buttocks and began to knead the round, fleshy flesh.
"Hmm~"
Reiju let out a seductive sound, hooked one of her long legs around Luo Zhen's leg, and began to rub it up and down.
As Luo Zhen rubbed his buttocks, Reiju made soft sounds.
Her breathing became increasingly rapid.
"How come you're so good at this? Do you often rub other women's butts?"
"It was just a little rubbing, how come I... umm~ can't take it~"
Reiju's voice was sweet and delicate, followed by a slightly damp sensation.
Luo Zhen didn't hold back either, venting his anger freely on her hands.
Reiju's forehead was covered in sweat, and she exhaled hot breaths repeatedly. She gripped the handle of Ryouma's halberd tightly, and her body trembled involuntarily.
"It's so hot, like lava."
Feeling the scorching power, Reiju exclaimed in admiration.
"And there's so much of it. If it all gets into the body, it might cause damage or even burns."
Reiju chuckled as she stroked the area, giving it a massage.
Luo Zhen's halberd handle revealed its sharpness, indicating that he wanted to try again.
"I really can't do anything with you. You can't go out and face people like this. Keep all the snakes in my hands. I'll help you release them all."
Right there in the house, Reiju was helping Ryoujin with his special craft.
Chapter 138, Advice Given
Strange sounds emanated from inside the small house, lasting for several tens of minutes, before the two calmly emerged.
Reiju helped Ryoujin straighten his clothes and pants, her face flushed and her eyes filled with tenderness.
She and Luo Zhen pressed close together, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
Luo Zhen pulled her into his arms, and at that moment, their relationship became even closer.
However, Reiju still needs some time to adjust her mental state.
Luo Zhen could certainly bite the bullet and just take care of Reiju, but he always respects the opinions of those around him.
Let's give Reiju more time so she can move around more easily.
He randomly assigned a location and handed it over to Reiju to suppress the rebellion.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the Navy. This time they offered some help, so he had to have a talk with them.
"A resounding victory! Can you swallow all of this territory?" Mei, are you thinking of emptying your mind? Lin, are you even here...?
After meeting, Sengoku immediately got to the point.
"Of course, leave it to me. But why are you so quick to give me these places?"
Luo Zhen said with a smile that he didn't quite understand the Warring States period's approach.
"The navy only fights pirates; they don't get involved in territorial disputes."
"At most, we'll build a few bases nearby so that the various navies can be linked together and support each other."
"But if you come to occupy these territories, it seems there's no need to build a base."
Zhan Guo shook his head. The old man looked somewhat forlorn, but his eyes shone brightly.
After all, he is now retired, but he has cleared away obstacles like the "auntie" for the Navy.
As for base construction, just look at the current situation in Alabasta.
That area is already a pirate no-go zone. If Luo Zhen takes over the mess left by Whole Cake Island, the pirates there will be wiped out as well.
"Giving these territories to you is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than giving them to the nobles."
Sengoku composed himself, concealing his true feelings, and spoke these words to Ryougi.
Indeed, if those nobles are allowed to act recklessly and plunder these places, the lives of the people will be made even worse.
What will be the result? If they can't survive, they'll go to sea and become pirates.
Luo Zhen listened to Sengoku's words, then looked at Aokiji with a meaningful gaze.
He had previously discussed the reasons for the Great Pirate Era with Aokiji, and then Aokiji must have had an in-depth conversation with Sengoku.
That's why people in the Warring States period would utter such "treasonous" words.
The nobles treated the common people as less than human, exploiting them relentlessly.
And as time goes on, this situation will only get worse.
Celestial Dragons can randomly grab people on the street and take them home as wives, and then they can have a large number of offspring.
Even illegitimate children receive special treatment.
The number of children in the public eye is even greater.
The number of Celestial Dragons is increasing, while other nobles, although inferior to the Celestial Dragons, still hold themselves in high esteem and like to imitate the Celestial Dragons' various practices.
As the number of parasites increases, so does their exploitation.
The common people were suffering terribly and had no other way to survive, so they had no choice but to become pirates.
Pirates wreak havoc on the seas, and to deal with this situation, a navy is needed. As time goes by, the number of pirates increases, and the navy's military expenditure rises accordingly.
This creates a vicious cycle.
It is likely that the Warring States period had already accepted Luo Zhen's theory.
Luo Zhen's actions, in turn, showed the Sengoku period another possibility.
He perfectly solved his own pirate problem and also enabled many civilians to live a happy life.
If it were him, he could definitely end the Great Pirate Era.
Now there's even a glimmer of hope; one of the toughest sea emperors has already been taken care of.
If the Navy steps up its efforts and then takes down Blackbeard or Kaido, the seas will be calmer.
"The base still needs to be built. I want to develop commerce. I'll have a lot of headaches if my ships at sea are harassed by pirates."
"There's no need for one near my home, but we can build more bases along the way to transport goods."
"We need to fully revitalize this trade route."
Luo Zhen's words, however, caused Sengoku to shake his head.
"With one of the Sea Emperors fallen, the World Government will soon face a military crisis."
