Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

Chapter 278 - 264: The Peerless Young Master (Part 4)

The Palace Master frowned slightly, turned his head to look at the Saintess, and said in a somewhat reproachful tone:

"Lan’Er, is this how you treat our esteemed guests? They’ve been here for quite some time, yet you haven’t invited them in for good wine and food?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, anyone with sharp ears could discern that the Palace Master was offering everyone a way out!

He wanted to use this pretext to ease the awkward and tense situation.

How could the Saintess, being so astute, not immediately understand? She slightly bowed to Lin Lang:

"Young Master Lin, please come in!"

Lin Lang still remained silent, his gaze slowly sweeping over the remaining elders, with a seemingly profound meaning in his eyes.

The elders felt utterly stifled!

They were certainly unwilling!

However, the mere glimpse of the Palace Master’s fierce look, which seemed ready to devour them, made them shudder.

Then, the six elders gritted their teeth, set their minds straight, and hastily stood in a neat line, shouting:

"Young Master Lin, please enter!"

The sound resonated in front of the Martial God Palace, though tinged with reluctance, it still made a statement.

Subsequently, others from the Martial God Palace also knelt down neatly, shouting in unison:

"Welcome, Young Master Lin!"

The scene was grand and imposing, truly giving Lin Lang plenty of face!

For a moment, the atmosphere in front of the Martial God Palace became somewhat nuanced and complex.

Everyone was waiting for Lin Lang’s reaction, not knowing what this always unpredictable Young Master Lin would do next —

Would he still want to make a scene?

...

Meanwhile, those superpower users outside found themselves in a dilemma, looking at each other in confusion and perplexity.

They knew that at the beginning Lin Lang was clearly representing them, the superpower users, in seeking an explanation from the Martial God Palace!

But who knew, the situation would change so swiftly, and now Lin Lang had turned into an honored guest of the Martial God Palace!

This left them at a loss, unsure if they should also kneel down.

...

"Hmm!"

"Since we’re here, let’s go in and take a look."

Lin Lang seemed quite laid-back, turning to call Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou.

Under the eager escort of the Palace Master and the Saintess, they stepped towards the Martial God Palace, prepared to explore it further.

Upon entering the Martial God Palace, what first came into view was its massive scale —

It was indeed a large ancient-style building, ingeniously situated among the mountains and forests, harmonizing with the surrounding natural scenery, exuding a unique charm.

Once inside for a closer look, everywhere was filled with classical and quaint scenes, with modern facilities being indeed scarce.

For instance, the lighting, although electric, was meticulously crafted into candle-like shapes, emitting a soft glow, reflecting the ancient decorations around, creating a strong ancient ambiance.

Looking at the people in the palace, whether it was the Palace Master, elders, or attendants, even the ordinary martial artists, their clothes were all in ancient styles, with flowing sleeves, as if instantly transporting people back to ancient times, fully demonstrating their preference for ancient styles while adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to the Martial God Palace.

...

"Young Master Lin, this way please, I have already ordered people to prepare food and wine, please wait a moment."

The Palace Master had a warm smile on his face, speaking to Lin Lang with great politeness and respect.

Lin Lang raised an eyebrow slightly.

But before he could say anything —

The Palace Master continued:

"It’s my poor supervision that caused the people below to offend you, Mr. Lin, I am truly remorseful! Therefore, I’ve specially prepared some compensatory gifts, hoping Young Master Lin won’t despise them."

Once the words were spoken!

A line of graceful maidservants came out, each holding a tray full of various treasures.

There were several peculiar elixirs on display, obviously rare treasures;

There were also some rare medicinal herbs, just from the unique aroma spreading, one could tell they were of great value!

Moreover, there were remnants and inner cores of fierce beasts, which could be used for crafting high-grade elixirs or powerful weapons!

Not to mention plenty of dazzling gold and silver jewels, reflecting dazzling light under the illumination, making it hard to keep one’s eyes open.

However.

Lin Lang simply glanced at these things with calm eyes, showing little interest on his face.

In the post-apocalyptic world, gold and silver jewels were not as practical as a loaf of bread!

Seeing this, the Palace Master quickly added:

"All these things are for Young Master Lin, and these maidservants are yours too from now on! Whenever you come to the Martial God Village, you will always be our most esteemed guest!"

He spoke while pondering secretly.

Men, after all, are fond of those things, money, women, power, and status, now he’s laid them all out for Lin Lang!

Surely he would be satisfied, wouldn’t he?

Not only that!

The Palace Master even had jewelry prepared for Lü Su Ran and Ding Xinrou, showing his attentive and thorough care.

Yet Lin Lang remained disinterested, as if nothing could pique his interest.

The six elders, watching from the side, were already burning with anger inside —

They silently gritted their teeth, full of dissatisfaction, feeling that Lin Lang was truly ungrateful.

However, they hadn’t lost their minds, enduring the anger within and not saying anything, only their faces grew increasingly plaguing.

Seeing Lin Lang’s reaction, even the Palace Master felt unsure, and couldn’t help but ask:

"Do none of these items catch the Young Master’s eye?"

Lin Lang replied indifferently:

"They’re average."

The Palace Master’s expression paused slightly, a touch of awkwardness and surprise flashing across his mind, but soon he returned to his sincere appearance, quickly saying:

"Then what does Young Master Lin like? Just say the word, and our Martial God Palace will not be stingy. Even if we don’t have it now, we will certainly send someone to find it for you!"

That attitude was indeed very sincere, anyone listening could sense his eagerness to please Lin Lang.

Lin Lang, hearing this, slightly raised his head, as if pondering for a moment, then slowly said:

"No need to look outside, what I want is right here!"

"Oh?"

The Palace Master, upon hearing this, couldn’t help showing a trace of surprise, glancing around, curious about what exactly Lin Lang had taken a liking to.

However, Lü Su Ran, upon hearing this, had a "thud" in her heart, suddenly an inexplicable premonition surged up, silently thinking:

"Could it be..."

Amidst everyone’s curiosity and bewilderment, Lin Lang’s gaze suddenly fell on the Saintess, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, smiling silently.

Instantly!

Those few elders could no longer hold back their anger, one of them shouted sternly:

"How bold!"

The others echoed, glaring at Lin Lang with anger, loudly rebuking:

"You really dare to think! Ungrateful!"

"What is tolerable is intolerable!"

They never expected!

Lin Lang’s thoughts would actually be set on the Saintess!

This guy really is a tough nut to crack!
