Gotta say, Yan Hongxia is really Lu Zheng's lucky star. Every ti he ets her, good things happen, the Light of Fortune is strong, and both tis there were zombies.
On the way back, Lu Zheng kept glancing at Yan Hongxia.
Unable to help herself, Yan Hongxia turned back and glanced at Lu Zheng, "What are you looking at for?"
"I'm checking if you have so sort of fateful clash with zombies. Both tis I encountered them, it was when you decided to leave," Lu Zheng teased with a smile.
Yan Hongxia rolled her eyes, "That's because you lack experience. I've traveled the world, killed many zombies. They're the most common supernatural beings in the mortal world."
Lu Zheng blinked, so it's that I'm inexperienced?
What the heck, wait till I take you to see a big airplane, then we'll see who's truly inexperienced!
...
The group flew over Old Wang Village. The villagers were trembling with fear, but seeing the commotion in the rear mountain calm down, the village elders organized people to bravely go check it out.
By the ti they got there, all they saw was a peaceful graveyard, aside from a few tombstones broken for no apparent reason, as if the roars, explosions, and sword lights from the rear mountain never existed.
Of course, this was good news, much better than having a monster suddenly appear.
...
The zombie was dealt with after lunch, and the group set off. By the ti they returned to Tonglin County, it was just in ti for dinner.
It's like they went out for a nice digestion walk in the afternoon.
Wang Xiaowan stayed for dinner and t her family just as they rushed back from Hezuo Town.
"Xiaowan?" Old Master Wang grabbed Wang Xiaowan, "Did you see Young Master Lu? What did he say? Is he willing to help us look?"
Wang Xiaowan, "..."
"He's willing." Wang Xiaowan nodded.
The Wang family's eldest son hurriedly asked, "When will you leave? Did Young Master Lu ask for much Magical Gold? I'll go prepare it."
"Nonsense!" Old Master Wang slapped his eldest son on the head. He had been doing business in Yizhou Prefecture and wasn't very clear about the relationship between Lu Zheng and the Wang family.
"Young Master Lu is practically Xiaowan's ntor guiding her entry to the path. Giving money is too tacky! Later, go to the shop and pick out two pieces of fine White Jade to give to Xiaowan."
"Yes, yes!" The Wang family's eldest son nodded repeatedly.
Then, Old Master Wang also looked expectantly at Wang Xiaowan and asked, "So, did Young Master Lu say when to set off?"
Wang Xiaowan answered helplessly, "We've already returned from Old Wang Village, the zombie has already been eliminated by my senior brothers..."
"Huh?"
Old Master Wang and his son looked at each other in confusion.
"Another zombie? Really?"
"Yes!" Wang Xiaowan nodded and lifted her arm, showing a small bundle hanging from it.
"What's that?"
"The gold, silver, pearls, and gemstones from the zombie's Underground Palace. Anyone who's involved gets a share. I didn't contribute much, but I got so."
As Wang Xiaowan spoke, she casually untied the bundle, scattering several golden ornants set with Pearls and Gemstones.
The dazzling shine of Gold made the Wang family mbers' eyes widen in surprise. Although the Wang family was wealthy, these gold jewels were not Mortal Items.
"Aunt, mom, third aunt, two older sisters, and three sister-in-laws, co pick one each. These are the ornants of a Count from the previous dynasty eight hundred years ago, they're valuable." Wang Xiaowan laughed.
"Really!"
"Thanks, little sister!"
"Xiaowan, so amazing!"
The Wang family's father and son, "..."
Old Master Wang cautiously asked, "Xiaowan, what's this all about?"
So Wang Xiaowan recounted their noon departure, slaying the zombie, then raiding the Underground Palace and returning ho for a comfortable dinner.
"Young Master Lu can fly through the sky and earth, and his friends are either Sword Immortals or Dragon Girls, really admirable!" Old Master Wang exclaid, then hastily advised Wang Xiaowan, "In the future, you should connect more with Doctor Liu, listen to operas, go for outings, don't stay cooped up at ho ditating all the ti, okay?"
Wang Xiaowan, "..."
"Got it!" Wang Xiaowan pouted and waved her hand, then retreated to her little building at the rear courtyard to ditate.
"This girl!"
Old Master Wang glared at Wang Xiaowan's back in annoyance, then told the old servant to go to the chicken farm to pick a few old hens to send to the Liu Family the next morning.
"Sigh, can't rely on Xiaowan, I'll have to personally handle it. I'm heading to bed now, tomorrow I have to wake up early to go to Leping Building to listen to the storytelling."
...
Not ntioning how Wang Xiaowan's relatives joyfully tried on the jewelry, there was nothing going on with Lu Zheng.
After getting everyone to go sleep, Lu Zheng crossed back to the modern tis. Although there were still so provisions in his gourd, it clearly wasn't enough for Yan Hongxia and her companions.
So he went to the supermarket again, buying lots of chocolate and snacks, dried fruits, filling an entire cart, drawing frequent sideways glances from those around him.
Sure, it's almost May Day, but you're really preparing this much?
Lu Zheng took the pile of snacks back to his rented apartnt, spent two hours removing all the packaging, then packed two parcels based on a one-to-one thod, before crossing back to ancient tis.
...
"We're leaving now!"
Yan Hongxia bowed to everyone, "When we swing back to Lingbei Dao, we'll co play with you again!"
Ao Qi also bowed with a smile, "Next ti I'll co to learn from Brother Lu's brilliance."
Lu Zheng returned the gesture, "Awaiting with sweeped mat!"
Liu Qingyan hugged Yan Hongxia, "You can Sword Flight now, drop by anyti."
Yan Hongxia nodded repeatedly.
Shen Ying, Du Yueyao, Wang Xiaowan and others were on the side, Ao Qian teary-eyed, "Ao Qi sister, stay and play a bit longer!"
Ao Qi patted Ao Qian's little head, "You should stop playing so much, and go back to the Dragon Palace when you've had enough fun."
Ao Qian instantly stopped crying, decisively shook her head, "I talk with mom every day, not going back!"
Ao Qi, "..."
After bidding farewell again, Yan Hongxia and Ao Qi leapt, instantly turning into a silver and blue streak of light, with a whoosh, soared up into the sky, flying westward.
At the sa ti, Lu Zheng, Liu Qingyan, and Shen Ying all breathed a sigh of relief.
...
Night fell, at Lu Residence.
Without the two highly skilled big shining lights, Shen Ying and Liu Qingyan let themselves go, fawning and indulging Lu Zheng, he enjoyed a night of imperial treatnt.
...
Lu Zheng felt the smoothness on one side and softness on the other, thinking for a mont before saying, "I'm planning to go out on a trip in a few days."
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying gazed at Lu Zheng with eyes expectantly waiting for more.
"Going to Feiyu Mountain, to return the Feiyu Riding the Dawn Sword Scripture, and incidentally seek the Sword Refining Technique."
Shen Ying, with eyes like watery peach blossoms, cuddled against Lu Zheng's arm, raising her head and planting a fragrant kiss on him, "I'll go with Lu Lang."
"Qingyan, why don't you join us?" Shen Ying looked at Liu Qingyan over Lu Zheng, "It's been a while since us sisters went out together for a trip with brother."
Liu Qingyan felt tempted, but thought for a mont before shaking her head, "I've traveled with Lu Lang many tis, it's best you accompany him this ti. I don't want to leave Yue Yao alone, besides, I'm busy lately. Now that things have slowed down, I plan to sit in Renxin Hall for a while and cultivate properly."
"Also good." Lu Zheng hugged Liu Qingyan, "But do keep a balance between work-rest."
"Qingyan understands." Liu Qingyan's face was charming, and she smiled joyfully.
Shen Ying's lips curled, peach blossom eyes seductive and alluring, "Since we'll be gone for a while, let's make Qingyan as comfortable as possible tonight, shall we?"
"Ah? No need, mmm—"
