Chapter 460: Jiang Zhong

Yu Yang and Mu Yan had never eaten crayfish before, so they could only watch everyone eat first before learning from them.

Of course, the consequences of not knowing how to eat was that they ate lesser than others.

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin loved eating crab roe. Although there was little crab roe this season, it was not that there were none.

Not long after lunch, Caretaker Shi suddenly came to visit. He even brought a basket of loquats for Lu Sheng. After delivering the items, he left.

“Who’s that?”

When he heard Caretaker Shi call Lu Sheng ‘Young Madam,’ Lu Ran frowned and asked.

“You don’t have to think to know whose men they are.”

Lu Zhou glanced at Lu Sheng and said lightly, “If I’m not wrong, he should be from the Chu Mansion, right?”

Lu Sheng praised him and Lu Zhou snorted.

When he heard that he was from the Chu Mansion, Lu Ran did not inquire further.

Lu Sheng looked at him and asked, “Brother, are you returning to town later?”

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly and distributed half of the loquats to Lu Ran. She got Lu Ran to bring some back for He Lai and He Qin to eat while the rest could be distributed to everyone in the private school.

She also took some and let Yu Yang bring them back for Yu Mingyue to eat.

Yu Yang looked at her and wanted to ask something, but he was too embarrassed to do so.

“Young Master Yu, do you have something to say?”

Seeing his hesitation, Lu Sheng could only speak with a smile.

When the others heard that, they looked over.

Yu Yang coughed awkwardly. “It’s about my sister.”

Recently, Yu Mingyue and Shi Yi had been very close.

Mdm Yu had eaten with him before, and she said he had a good character.

However, he only had one sister. If he did not understand Shi Yi carefully, he would be worried.

Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Young Master Yu, you want to ask about Young Master Shi’s character, right?”

Yu Yang nodded with an awkward expression.

“Yu Yang knows that Young Master Shi has a good relationship with Lord Chu. Miss Lu also walks with Young Master Shi often, so I want to ask how Young Master Shi is like and if he has a wife and concubine at home.”

Not to mention the young masters in the capital, but even some of the young masters in Huang Yang Town had a few servant girls by their sides before they married.

Yu Yang was a little afraid that his sister would meet an amorous person.

“No.”

Lu Sheng shook her head. “Although Young Master Shi is a bit talkative, he’s quite a good person. He’s a person who understands warmth and compassion.”

To Lu Sheng, Shi Yi was much better than Yun Ting.

“That’s good!”

Yu Yang bowed slightly to Lu Sheng. “Miss, please don’t tell this to Young Master Shi.”

Anyone would feel uncomfortable if their character was questioned.

“Young Master Yu, don’t worry. I definitely won’t say anything.”

When Yu Yang heard that, he glanced at Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian.

Lu Zhou frowned. “Don’t look at us when it comes to you youngsters.”

Yu Yang hurriedly bowed to him. “Then, we’ll take our leave first!”

Lu Zhou nodded.

After Lu Ran placed the loquats on the Yu family’s carriage, he spoke to Lu Sheng before leaving with Mu Yan and the rest.

“In ancient times, we could only eat and drink. How boring.”

Lu Zhou sipped his tea and couldn’t help but complain. “It’s all that old man’s fault for giving birth to such a disappointing son.”

It was good to be in the modern world. He could eat whatever he wanted and go on a holiday when he had nothing to do. Most importantly, there were a lot of alcohol and he could drink whatever he wanted.

The days were colorful.

Lu Sheng was unhappy when she heard that.

“Who said that the Lord is a disappointment? Our Lord is hardworking.”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Yes, yes. Your lord has worked hard and let you travel to the ancient times for free. It’s quite good.”

Shangguan Dian chuckled.

He looked at Lu Zhou and asked, “Ah Zhou, when are we returning to the modern world?”

He had only been there once before and did not have the time to understand the environment of that era.

“When?”

Lu Zhou said, “If nothing goes wrong, we should have to wait a few decades.”

After Chu Sihan’s love tribulation was over, they should be able to return.

However, after decades of change, the modern world should have been developed better.

“That long?”

Shangguan Dian’s expression softened, indicating that he was very disappointed.

“I want to drink pearl milk tea, eat fried chicken, eat octopus balls, eat grilled fish, eat…”

Lu Sheng mumbled a lot. Before she could even swallow her saliva, Shangguan Dian had already started drooling.

He smacked his lips and asked Lu Sheng, “What’s pearl milk tea?”

“A beverage.”

“Does it taste good?”

Lu Sheng suddenly looked at him.

“What… what’s wrong?”

Seeing her bright eyes on him, Shangguan Dian was shocked.

“Uncle Demon King, can you travel through space-time dimensions freely?”

Shangguan Dian shook his head. “No. We can only travel when the seven stars are connected.”

When he went back to find Lu Zhou, it was the time when the seven stars were connected.

If he went over casually, he would have to pay a similar price as Lu Zhou.

“Forget it!”

Lu Sheng pouted.

If only Shangguan Dian could travel through space-time dimensions at will. She could get him to buy whatever she needed.

Lu Zhou contemplated for a moment and suddenly said to Lu Sheng, “Your Uncle Demon King can’t, but an uncle can.”

“Master, you’re referring to Official Lu?”

“No!”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said calmly, “Think about it yourself. Who was the person you saw the most in the modern world?”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. She contemplated for a moment before a figure suddenly flashed across her mind.

“Could it be… Uncle King of Hades?”

“Yes.”

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. “He’s in charge of the Netherworld of this era. Occasionally, he will meet the King of Hades in our space-time dimension. Therefore, he can travel through space-time dimensions at will.”

When Lu Sheng heard that, she seemed to have seen a business opportunity.

However…

“Isn’t the Netherworld shared?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “Of course not. There are masters of different space-time dimensions.”

Lu Sheng swallowed her saliva and said to Lu Zhou, “Master, can Uncle King of Hades help?”

If he could bring some materials over from that era, wouldn’t she be rich?

“I’ll ask him another day.”

When Shangguan Dian heard that, he hurriedly said pitifully, “Ah Zhou, there’s no need to ask another day. Let’s go now!”

The string of names that Lu Sheng mentioned earlier made him drool.

Lu Sheng nodded in agreement.

Lu Zhou glanced at them and said lightly, “Tonight, then!”

“That’s great!”

Lu Sheng and Shangguan Dian cheered at the same time.

Lu Jiang and Lu Xin did not understand what the adults were saying. Seeing their cheers, they only looked on in confusion.

That night, Lu Sheng asked Jia Zheng to bring his four men to Zhao Village to scare Zhao Xian and get him to agree to divorce He Yan quickly.

She sent Tan Jun and the rest to Xing Hua Village to transform them into Sun Qi and scare Huang Xiaoju.

Sun Qi said that the woman had a murderous aura and he could not get close to her. However, as Tan Jun and the rest had stayed in the Nurturing Talisman for a long time, they were gradually leaning towards spirits and should not be afraid of the murderous aura.

After settling these two matters, Lu Sheng, Lu Zhou, and Shangguan Dian headed to the Netherworld.

“Disciple, bring this along.”

Lu Zhou took out a piece of blood jade and handed it to Lu Sheng.

“Why did you bring this?”

Lu Sheng was very curious.

She had come to the Netherworld with Chu Sihan twice and Lu Zhou once. She had never seen Lu Zhou make her wear a piece of blood jade.

“It’s Qingming Festival now, a holiday for the Netherworld. Many powerful items will be released. You’re a mortal. It’s better to wear this.”

“Oh.”

After hearing Lu Zhou’s explanation, Lu Sheng put the item on.

As Lu Zhou had said, when they reached the entrance of the Netherworld, they saw a group of ghosts queuing at the entrance to the human world.

“Don’t push. Line up slowly. We’re not rushing to be reborn. What’s the hurry?”

The ghost guard at the door yelled. When the ghosts heard that, they immediately lined up obediently.

“Who’s in front?”

Seeing someone approaching, the ghost guard shouted again.

The ghosts in the queue looked over. When they saw Shangguan Dian and Lu Zhou, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Of the two, one had a strong immortal aura, while the other had a strong demonic aura. One could tell that they were not ordinary immortals and demons.

As for Lu Sheng, she was ignored by the ghosts.

“So it’s Lord Lu Zhou. Please come in!”

When the ghost guard saw that it was Lu Zhou, he immediately let down his guard and hurried to invite him respectfully.

“Do what you need to do. We’ll walk ourselves.”

Lu Zhou said lightly and continued leading the two to the Netherworld.

The Red Spider Lilies in the Netherworld were still dimming. When they approached, they suddenly emitted bright light.

This reminded Lu Sheng of the last time she came down with Chu Sihan.

“These flowers are quite interesting. They actually know how to welcome people.”

Shangguan Dian found it novel.

Someone praised those flowers, so they immediately swayed proudly.

Lu Sheng chuckled and asked them, “Are you welcoming me?”

When she asked this, the flowers that were initially facing them immediately turned their backs.

When Lu Zhou and Shangguan Dian saw this, they laughed rudely.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

How could they not give her face?!

She coughed lightly and said faintly, “I heard from His Highness Yan Han that he wants to pluck all these flowers and plant new ones. I originally wanted to stop him, but it seems like there’s no need to stop him now.”

As she spoke, she sighed softly and shook her head helplessly. “What a pity.”

When the flowers heard that, they immediately turned around and waved at her ingratiatingly.

This was nothing!

Lu Sheng snorted coldly in her heart, but her expression did not change.

“Master, Uncle Demon King, let’s go.”

Hearing her words, the flowers became anxious.

They extended their stems and wrapped them around her wrist, seemingly pleading with her.

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you not welcome me just now?”

The flowers immediately shook, indicating that they welcomed her.

When the ghost guard in front saw this scene, he was momentarily stunned.

One had to know that this flower was planted by His Highness. They were usually very arrogant, but now, they were actually pleasing a mortal?

“Ah!”

A little ghost standing beside the ghost guard suddenly exclaimed.

“I remember now. That mortal lady came down with His Highness twice.”

The other ghosts were enlightened when they heard that.

One could imagine that these flowers who looked down on ghosts would not lower themselves to curry favor with anyone but His Highness and his men.

Seeing that the flowers had no intention of letting her go, Lu Sheng could only say helplessly, “Alright, I’ll plead with His Highness not to destroy you. Is that alright?”

When the flowers heard that, they retracted their stems.

“They actually know you?”

Shangguan Dian looked at the flowers in surprise.

“I’ve been here twice with the Lord. I’ve chatted with them every time I pass by.”

When Shangguan Dian heard that, he was suddenly enlightened. “I see!”

“Oh, oh!”

The three of them were about to head to the King of Hades’ Palace when Yun Guagua suddenly darted out from the side.

This time, it was no longer the female ghost that accompanied him, but two men.

Lu Sheng had seen one of the men before in Water Palace.

However, at that time, Ai Shui did not see Lu Sheng’s face clearly, so he did not recognize her.

“Isn’t this the human girl who often comes down with His Highness? If you’re here, where’s His Highness?”

Upon hearing Yun Guagua’s words, the other two immediately looked at Lu Sheng.

The person whom she had not seen before seemed to be stunned when he saw her.

Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. “Your Highness didn’t come this time.”

“Oh!”

It was only then that Yun Guagua realized that there were two people behind Lu Sheng.

He naturally knew Lu Zhou, but not Shangguan Dian.

“Lord Lu, why are you here too?”

As Lu Zhou was the Junior Brother of the King of Hades and Official Lu’s biological younger brother, everyone in the Netherworld addressed him as ‘Lord.’

“Lord Lu!”

Ai Shui and another man bowed to Lu Zhou.

“You’re all from Water Palace, right?” Lu Zhou asked faintly.

The three of them nodded at the same time. “Yes!”

“Yes.”

Lu Zhou glanced at them indifferently. “If there’s nothing else, we’ll get going.”

“Yes!”

The three of them quickly made way for them.

After they had walked far away, Ai Shui asked Yun Guagua, “Was that lady just now the one Your Highness brought back to Water Palace?”

“Yes!”

Yun Guagua snorted. “I’ve seen her twice.”

Jiang Zhong stared blankly in the direction where Lu Sheng left, his eyes seemingly stained with a hint of excitement.

“I think… I’ve found her!”

His sudden words stunned Yun Guagua and Ai Shui, who were speaking.

“What… what did you say?”

Yun Guagua regained his senses and exclaimed.

“She’s the same as the life I’ve been searching for.”

“Really?”

Ai Shui was shocked. “You’re saying that the person you’ve been looking for is that lady from just now?”

No way!

The woman his brother had been waiting for was actually His Highness’s sweetheart?

Wasn’t this… too scary?

Would Jiang Zhong be able to snatch a woman from His Highness?

No, the question was whether Jiang Zhong would dare to snatch someone from His Highness.

“Brother, I sympathize with you. However, as brothers who have gone through thick and thin together for years, I still want to advise you to forget about this!”

Yun Guagua patted Jiang Zhong’s shoulders earnestly.

Ai Shui nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhong did not care about their conversation. Instead, he frowned and said, “Although they look alike, their characters don’t seem to be the same.”

Could it be because of reincarnation?

But even so, that shouldn’t be the case!

That person had always been a shy person. When she saw someone, she did not even dare to raise her head and would blush easily.

However, the person just now was cheerful. She emitted a bright light from the inside out, which was quite different from that person’s personality.

The skin was identical, but the soul seemed different.
