The title of "King of Lingerie" resounds Chapter 73: Who gave him permission to touch her?

After the incident with the remnant soul of an immortal in the Buried Immortal Province, although she had not communicated directly with the immortal remnant, the immortal’s monologue about Luo Xingchen was enough for Hua Manman to realize that Luo Xingchen was anything but ordinary. She had thought Luo Xingchen was just another disciple of the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect, but judging from the immortal’s attitude, that was clearly not the case.

Luo Xingchen’s mystery and power far surpassed her imagination.

After leaving the Buried Immortal Province, she made a decision. No matter what, she must establish a good relationship with Luo Xingchen. That would be an immense boon for both her and for the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

But as fate would have it, upon returning and just as she entered the territory of the Northern Profound Province, she heard news that many forces—including the Hidden Night Sacred Ground—were going to besiege the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect.

Hua Manman saw her opportunity.

If she didn’t seize this chance to declare her stance, there might never be a better moment.

So she quickly used a message jade to contact her elder brother, Pavilion Master Hua Lingluo, instructing him to go ahead with their people while she hurried along as fast as she could.

At last, she arrived at the most crucial moment!

After hearing Yi Han’s words, Hua Manman found it laughable.

So what if you are at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm? Can you compare to an immortal?

Even immortals showed respect toward Luo Xingchen—what qualifications do you have to covet the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect?

It's simply courting death!

Hua Manman only saw Luo Twelve, but not Luo Xingchen. She began to suspect that perhaps Luo Xingchen was setting a trap for these people, and would destroy them all at the right moment.

Before, she would never have believed anyone could be so powerful. But after her experiences in the Buried Immortal Province, she truly believed Luo Xingchen was capable of such things.

Yi Han, unaware of Hua Manman’s thoughts, heard her words and assumed the Warm Fragrance Pavilion wanted to keep everything for themselves. He grew furious—especially at her disrespect toward him—and felt an urge to lash out. But with Hua Lingluo present, he dared not act rashly.

“Elder Hua, what do you mean by this? What do you mean I have no right to lay a finger on the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect? Are you saying your Warm Fragrance Pavilion wants to take it all for yourselves?” Yi Han’s face was grim, his voice icy.

Then his gaze shifted to Hua Lingluo. “Master Hua, is this your stance as well?”

Hua Lingluo replied without hesitation, “My sister’s wishes are my wishes. Whatever she wants to do, I agree without condition!”

Once again, he revealed his utter devotion to his sister.

Such “defection at the critical moment” from Hua Lingluo caught everyone off guard.

Yi Han was so angry he could cough blood.

He was about to summon the Sacred Master. Otherwise, the current standoff was a three-way balance: Hidden Night Sacred Ground and the minor factions on one side, the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect on another, and the Warm Fragrance Pavilion as the third.

This was not a matter of overall strength, but of top-tier combat power.

Each side now had a peak Tribulation Crossing Realm expert.

If this balance wasn’t broken, no side could advance for the time being.

Yi Han was anxious.

But what came next made him even more anxious, uncomfortable, and incredulous.

Just as Yi Han was about to use his message jade to contact the Sacred Master, Hua Manman suddenly spoke again.

“From this moment onward, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion is allied with the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect!”

“In other words, from this moment on, anyone who opposes the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect is the enemy of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion!”

“Now, is there anyone else here who wishes to make a move against the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect? Go ahead and see if my Warm Fragrance Pavilion will allow it!”

After her pronouncement, a deathly silence fell.

All around, there was utter quiet.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with incredulous shock.

Many even suspected they were hallucinating.

Even the elders and disciples of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion were taken aback.

In fact, when Hua Manman first spoke, their initial reaction was much like Yi Han’s.

They thought Hua Manman wanted to seize the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect for the Pavilion.

Before, that might have been possible.

But now, with so many powers assembled, and the Hidden Night Sacred Ground—a force outside their usual sphere—present, it was more than difficult; it was nearly impossible.

Yet her new words flipped everything upside down, leaving all off-balance.

The Warm Fragrance Pavilion, allying with the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect?

What was going on? Why didn’t we know?

The Pavilion disciples, especially the elders, were utterly confused.

They began to wildly speculate about Hua Manman’s motives.

Was she using the alliance as a pretext to gain the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect’s trust, only to absorb it bit by bit?

A slow-boiling frog, indeed!

If that were the case, Elder Hua was truly clever and wise! They had underestimated her.

A few elders, convinced by this reasoning, looked at Hua Manman with newfound admiration.

Yi Han thought Hua Manman was being ridiculous. He turned to Hua Lingluo and asked, “Master Hua, are you serious about this?”

Hua Lingluo replied coldly, “My sister’s wishes are my wishes. Or do you think my words carry no weight in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion?”

He was like a mindless machine devoted to his sister. Whatever she said, he agreed.

Yi Han’s expression froze.

The atmosphere became tense again.

Inside the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect, Luo Xingchen, watching the events outside, turned to Ye Mingyue.

“Well, Your Highness, what do you make of the current situation?”

Ye Mingyue said nothing.

She was utterly speechless.

Luo Xingchen was eccentric enough, but now even Hua Manman, an elder of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, was acting so unpredictably? And the Pavilion Master was completely at his sister’s beck and call?

Such a major affair—how could it be treated like child’s play? To give consent so easily…

How could so many people be so unreliable?

Though the actions of Hua Manman and the Warm Fragrance Pavilion brought many benefits to the Supreme Qi-Guiding Sect, and to Ye Mingyue herself—at least she needn’t worry about the sect being destroyed, nor lose her chance to uncover its secrets—she simply couldn’t comprehend their logic.

Their way of thinking was completely alien to her.

“Come on, it’s time for this big shot and her loyal followers to make an entrance,” Luo Xingchen said with a grin.

The main character always appears last.

And now, it was time for the grand finale.

Luo Xingchen led Ye Mingyue, Tie Pipi, and Wang Zhengyu out of the protective sect formation.

Soon, they passed through the barrier and stepped outside.

The world outside was still silent.

Almost everyone remained stunned by the shock of Hua Manman and Hua Lingluo’s declarations.

The moment Luo Xingchen and his companions appeared, many eyes turned to them.

Especially Hua Manman, who rushed straight to Luo Xingchen.

“Boss!” she called out, brimming with excitement.

The first time she had called Luo Xingchen “boss,” it had merely been for fun. But now, her words were full of sincerity and heartfelt admiration.

To be able to hold onto the leg of such a mysterious powerhouse—what a lifetime’s honor!

If anyone heard of this, they would never believe it.

Of course, Hua Manman had no intention of telling anyone.

This was a blessing she would keep for herself.

Share it? Let others come and compete for her boss’s favor? Not a chance!

Luo Xingchen could hear the deeper meaning in her cry of “boss” and smiled knowingly.

“It seems you gained much from your journey,” he said.

Hua Manman replied immediately, “Luckily, I always remembered your advice; otherwise, I might not have made it back alive.”

Her tone was full of gratitude.

Indeed, if not for Luo Xingchen, she would not only have failed to bring back the immortal’s inheritance—she might not have left the Buried Immortal Province alive at all.

“Good, keep up the good work,” Luo Xingchen said, patting her gently on the shoulder in encouragement.

Nearby, watching this scene, Hua Lingluo’s eyes nearly popped out.

His glare could have killed.

That fellow! That fellow! That fellow!

He actually dared to touch his beloved sister!

Who gave him permission? Where did he get the nerve?

How dare he lay a hand on her!

Hua Lingluo wanted to explode, to slap Luo Xingchen to death.

After all, in his eyes, Luo Xingchen posed no threat—a mere ant he could crush in an instant.

But what hurt even more was that his sister showed no resistance whatsoever. On the contrary, she seemed to enjoy it.

How could this be?

His beloved sister, enjoying another man’s touch—this was an unforgivable desecration!

Hua Lingluo’s mind buzzed, on the verge of imploding.

There was another kind of pain, too.

It felt as though a treasured possession he had cherished for years had suddenly been snatched away.

Heartache! Agony! He wanted to kill Luo Xingchen!

And just then, his sister added salt to his wound.

“Brother, let me introduce you. This is my boss. Together, we founded that lingerie factory. Oh, and I also had him design some special lingerie just for me. I wonder if he’s finished it yet?”

Once she might have said this as a threat, but now she was full of anticipation, eager to see what surprise Luo Xingchen might bring her.

Hua Lingluo’s blood pressure spiked.

He knew perfectly well what that lingerie was.

This fellow—he was even going to personally design custom lingerie for his sister?

What right did he have?

Why him?

Aaaaah!

Hua Lingluo was about to lose his mind.
