Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: A Weak Fighter, Zhang Lexuan

Once Zhang Lexuan had adjusted to the initial discomfort, Lu Jingming finally made his move.

Soon, the room was filled with the sounds of music, cards, and clapping, a melody echoing like the most beautiful composition in the world.

Though it couldn't compare to the ethereal voice of Robin, Zhang Lexuan's vocal cords possessed their own unique charm, clear and pleasant, like a mountain spring flowing with tenderness and deep emotion.

However, in terms of direct combat, Zhang Lexuan was far weaker compared to Yae Miko.

Lu Jingming hadn't even begun to fully deploy his tactics, and many of the "packages" prepared for Zhang Lexuan hadn't been used yet. Zhang Lexuan was already overwhelmed, softly begging for mercy, and quickly conceded defeat in this unequal "battle."

In the end, looking at Zhang Lexuan sleeping soundly on the luxurious bed with a sweet smile on her face, Lu Jingming found it quite amusing.

He truly hadn't expected that Sister Lexuan, who was usually as cool and aloof as an immortal, would be so "vulnerable" in this regard.

Verdict: a weak fighter.

After all, Yae Miko could engage him in a full-power battle, and that was even when he brought out all his various "packages."

But Zhang Lexuan, he felt he hadn't even exerted much effort before she raised the white flag.

It could only be said that everyone's physical constitution truly varied, even though Zhang Lexuan had already broken through to become a Titled Douluo.

Lu Jingming gently embraced Zhang Lexuan's soft, delicate body, as if cherishing the most precious treasure in the world.

He buried his head in her cloud-like softness, inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her, and slowly closed his eyes, sinking into the cozy and sweet atmosphere.

He had to admit, Zhang Lexuan's figure was perfect, virtually without a flaw; every curve seemed to be the most careful sculpture of nature, earning genuine admiration.

"Checkmate!"

In Caroline's room, Cerydra focused intently on the board. Her slender fingers delicately moved a piece, and with its placement, she successfully checkmated Caroline.

"I lose!"

Caroline's voice was soft and tranquil. She seemed mentally prepared for losing the game.

After all, in Deepsea City, only a handful of people could defeat Cerydra at chess; even Chang Li lost more often than she won against her.

"Your heart wasn't in the game. Are you very bothered by it? If so, why did you help him?"

Cerydra said blandly. With her intelligence, how could she not realize that Caroline had been deliberately instructed by someone else to distract her from Zhang Lexuan?

She could roughly guess who was behind Caroline's actions, but she also saw that Zhang Lexuan seemed to be looking forward to some alone time with that person. So, she wisely didn't refuse, easily agreeing to leave with Caroline.

However, she keenly noticed that Caroline seemed quite concerned about what was currently happening in Zhang Lexuan's room, which made her a little puzzled.

Caroline slightly pursed her lips, struggling internally. Could she say that she was actually envious? How could she possibly speak such a thought aloud?

"Alright, I understand! What charm does that man possess? To have you all so mesmerized?"

Cerydra listlessly played with the chess pieces. Among all the people she had encountered, most of the excellent girls seemed to be infatuated with Lu Jingming.

And these girls were all top-tier in terms of ability, personality, and appearance.

Yet, this group of outstanding girls was all devoted to the same man.

Caroline was even willing to help Lu Jingming get intimate with other girls. This filled Cerydra with curiosity and sparked a great deal of interest in Lu Jingming.

As for whether she herself would fall for him? That was absolutely impossible!

She was the dignified Empress Cerydra; how could she easily fall into such petty love?

In her view, commanding armies in battle, meticulously planning strategies, and manipulating all things in the world like a game of chess—that was far more interesting.

Things like romance were simply unsuitable for someone with her aspirations for the world.

"You wouldn't understand!" Caroline murmured softly, her thoughts seemingly drifting far away.

Lu Jingming was the first and only person who could give her warmth.

The warm feeling of being held tightly in his embrace made her deeply addicted, as if a ship that had long drifted in the darkness had finally found a warm harbor.

She couldn't help but wonder: if a simple embrace could make her so intoxicated, what kind of unprecedented experience would something more intimate and passionate be?

Caroline's heart was filled with anticipation and yearning. At the same time, she was envious of Yae Miko and Zhang Lexuan because her earlier hesitation had cost her a chance.

"Hesitation leads to defeat. Once you decide, you must strike decisively. Hesitancy is a great taboo on the battlefield."

Cerydra noticed Caroline's distress and spoke plainly.

Although she didn't fully understand Caroline's deepest emotions, that didn't stop her from playing the role of a life mentor in her own way.

"Thank you, Cerydra, I understand!"

Caroline recalled that it was her own indecisiveness that had previously caused her to miss the chance to get intimate with Lu Jingming, allowing Yae Miko to unexpectedly gain the advantage.

At this moment, her eyes showed determination, as if she had made a momentous decision.

She had decided to find the right moment, speak her feelings honestly to Lu Jingming, and put all her cards on the table.

The next morning, the warm, soft sunlight, like a thin golden veil, gently sprinkled into the room through the window.

The golden morning light danced cheerfully on the soft carpet, as if countless lively sprites were holding a grand dance party, adding warmth and vitality to the entire room.

On the unique bed, the moon-white silk sheets were like a tranquil lake, reflecting a fresh, subtle luster in the sunlight, exuding an air of serenity.

Beneath the smooth, flowing velvet silk blanket, a man and a woman were intimately and closely nestled together.

Their faces were softly enveloped by the gentle light, appearing particularly quiet and peaceful, as if the entire world had paused in that moment, leaving only their mutual presence.

Under the velvet silk blanket, Zhang Lexuan was like a lazy kitten, resting gently on Lu Jingming's arm. Her long, slender, fair legs were slightly bent, resting naturally on his body, a posture that conveyed intimacy and natural ease.

When a wisp of warm sunlight quietly shone on her face, Zhang Lexuan was awakened by the light and slowly opened her eyes.
