Chapter 245: I, Lu Zheng, Am Not Such a Man

Na Li Yang had a cup of wine in his hands as he patted Lu Zheng's shoulder: "Hahaha. Elder Lu, you truly are Na Clan's hero!"

Na Li Yang wasn't the only one to say such things. All the Na Clan Sky realm elders had similar thoughts.

In this world, no matter one's status in life, the only way to garner respect was with sufficient battle strength and battle strength was what Lu Zheng had.

Na Li Bo raised his cup up, his face slightly red from intoxication. Martial practitioners at their level could not get drunk without their will but this was a great celebration, it was rude not to get drunk.

"Let us toast to Elder Lu's battle strength!"

"Cheers!" The Sky realm elders rang out.

"And another toast to the growth of our Na Clan!"

"Cheers!"

"And to the inevitable rise of our Na Clan!"

"Cheers!"

The Sky realm elders all gulped down their wine, Lu Zheng naturally did the same. Even the Na Qin, Na Ge and Na Ma Sky realm experts celebrated with Na Clan. They were now elders of Na Clan.

The wine had a fragrant smell that was soft on the nose and it felt somewhat hot as it went down the throat. A mixture of three tastes collided with Lu Zheng's tongue, making him feel relaxed.

"Good wine" Lu Zheng praised after lifting the cup from his lips.

Na Li Bo heard Lu Zheng and felt even happier: "It is indeed good wine"

The party within the hall continued but Lu Zheng excused himself. Na Clan's elders were understanding as they thought: "Elder Lu is a lone martial practitioner. It is natural for him to not mingle properly in such occasions"

Lu Zheng walked out of the hall to a steep part of White Earth Mountain and sat. His mood was sombre.

In his previous lifetime, Xue Ritian had left Xue Clan from the moment he was thirteen to cultivate blood path in seclusion. Not long after, Xue Clan was exterminated by the joint attacks of two other clans because of the hate against blood path.

Later on, when he reached the Domain Formation realm, Xue Ritian was chased out of Central Continent by four Sky realm experts because he cultivated blood path. They only stopped when he crossed the Yellow Mud Qi Wall of Central Continent.

Even after his revival, Lu Zheng had to leave Lu Clan for a secret realm at the age of five and when he returned to Earth fifteen years later, he was unable to properly meet up with his family due to the war between Ren Zu Province and Tian Ming Province.

From all these, one could see that Lu Zheng was unable to enjoy the true warmth of a family even in both lives. Due to this, Na Clan's gathering made him melancholic.

Lu Zheng gazed at the distant horizon. Mountains of different sizes lined up in his range of vision, extending till only the night sky could be seen. A pale blue moon many times larger than that of Earth hung in the sky, emitting a profound coldness to the world. The moon wasn't lonely either, countless stars twinkled in the night sky. It truly was –

"Beautiful" Lu Zheng praised with a smile.

"Lu Zheng!" Na Yuxi suddenly hugged him from behind, ignoring the fact that Lu Zheng sat on a steep place and the shock could have caused him to fall.

"Ah? Na Yuxi" Lu Zheng said. "How come you are here? Did you miss me that much?"

"Hmph!" Na Yuxi snorted. "I should be asking you the same thing. What are you doing here being so lonely?"

Na Yuxi was hugging Lu Zheng from behind in a way that her breasts were pressed against him. As she spoke, her breasts brushed Lu Zheng's back but even though they were firm from the cold night, she did not seem to care.

"What else can a man like me be but lonely?" Lu Zheng replied rhetorically as he turned his head to face Na Yuxi.

Na Yuxi's face was flushed and coupled with how she suddenly hugged Lu Zheng even though she was normally shy, Lu Zheng could only sigh in his heart.

~As expected, this girl is… drunk!~

Lu Zheng put on his guard. Many things could happen when an extremely handsome man and an intoxicated beauty met on a cold night, alone.

Na Yuxi stood up and tugged at Lu Zheng's robe: "Come, let me give you a tour of Na Village"

Lu Zheng's suspicion grew but he decided to play along: "Okay, Na Yuxi, lead the way"

Na Yuxi took Lu Zheng's arm and led him around Na Village. Although it was midnight, everyone was awake as they celebrated Na Clan's glory in their own ways.

Although Na Yuxi was clearly drunk, the way she carried herself would make one mistake her as sober. Eventually, Na Yuxi led Lu Zheng into her house.

"And this is the end of our tour" Na Yuxi said with her back facing Lu Zheng. She suddenly turned and hugged Lu Zheng.

Standing on her tiptoes, Na Yuxi leaned in for a kiss but Lu Zheng dodged it. she was clearly drunk and complying with her meant taking advantage of her.

~I, Lu Zheng, am not such a man!~

Just as he was about to refute, Na Yuxi placed a finger on his lips.

"Lu Zheng…"
