I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 531: Anti-Abduction

"The 'Seven Obscure Classics', among them, the Refining Yang Chapter can help me cleanse Underworld Dharma Artifacts, and the Soul Refining Chapter can help you cleanse your Divine Soul. I really wonder what secret techniques are in the remaining five chapters."

"Lu Lang, are you interested in fighting for them?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "No, I'm just curious. This thing can attract a lot of ghostly creatures, it's a hot potato. We should consider ourselves lucky to grab two chapters; there's no need to jump into this mess."

Actually, even without exchanging for the Soul Refining Chapter, Shen Ying's cultivation wouldn't be hindered. Still, if it can be sped up, Lu Zheng wouldn't go out of his way to fight when there's an opportunity; that would be asking for trouble.

As for targeting the opponent, that's a responsibility of the City God Temple. What's it got to do with Lu Zheng?

Besides, the opponent is well-hidden and hasn't committed any obvious evil. So the City God Temple might not even find them and might not pursue them indefinitely.

...

In the next ten days, apart from the weather entering deep autumn, nothing unexpected happened in the county.

Shen Ying continued her usual cultivation, Liu Qingyan continued her daily diagnoses, and Wang Xiaowan returned to the county at the end of the period, even invited everyone to a meal at Bright Moon Building.

As for Lu Zheng, of course he continued traveling between the past and present, enjoying himself leisurely.

"Brother-in-law, bro-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law, bro-in-law! Sister Qing Quan and I caught a bad guy this morning!"

Lu Zheng was lying in the backyard when Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan rushed in together, beaming with joy.

"Caught a bad guy? What kind of bad guy?"

"A villain!" Ao Qian said with utmost seriousness.

"A child kidnapper!" Liu Qingquan said cheerfully, "He even targeted Qian Bao'Er!"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but feel speechless, "Well, he's really out of luck."

"He even tried to drug me and then tried to hit my head, but I dodged it." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Ao Qian said eagerly, "Brother-in-law said I shouldn't use magical powers in the mortal world, so I took a stick and beat that bad guy until he was covered in bumps!"

Liu Qingquan nodded along, "I hit him too! The kids in the alley all swarmed him, almost didn't beat him to death. Later, some constables heard the commotion and took him away."

"I bet those constables have never seen anything like it in their lives, they almost popped their eyes out." Du Yueyao, who followed the two little girls in, remarked.

She was resting at home when she heard the commotion and went out to check it, just in time to see the constables rushing into the alley.

"Great job!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs-up to the two little girls, "You need to beat scoundrels like him as hard as you can. I'll personally cook lunch to reward you today."

"Yay!" Liu Qingquan clapped her hands.

"Brother-in-law is awesome!" Ao Qian jumped for joy.

Another little girl spoiled by Lu Zheng, seeing Ao Qian's stance, who knows if she's planning to return to the Dragon Palace.

Will the Jade Dragon King come and kill me at my door? And I wonder if Wuliangye can withstand it?

Lu Zheng: ψ(｀∇´)ψ

Getting up from the recliner, Lu Zheng rolled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen, first making two signature dishes loved by the little girls.

Sweet and sour carp and five-spice roast chicken.

Then he prepared four hot and four cold dishes, with four meat and four vegetarian, all eight dishes were delicious along with a warming lamb soup.

He asked Uncle Li to send some over to Renxin Hall, and then everyone sat down for the meal in the front hall.

"Slurp slurp!"

"Yummy yummy!"

"The cooks at Dragon Palace are so dumb, always making the same few dishes, they're far worse than my brother-in-law." Ao Qian commented while eating.

"Why don't you just stay here and not go back?" Liu Qingquan suggested.

"Okay, okay!" Ao Qian nodded repeatedly.

Lu Zheng felt speechless, Du Yueyao seemed to want to say something but stopped, realizing she didn't have the right, so she just ate in silence.

Can Ao Qian still have her way when the Jade Dragon King comes looking?

That's why Lu Zheng didn't care, he just looked at Du Yueyao, "Your complexion looks good, how's your recovery?"

Du Yueyao smiled, "Sister Liu comes every three days for acupuncture, plus I've made some progress in cultivating 'Su Nu's Prayer Method.' In a month tops, the injuries on my Divine Soul will be fully healed."

"That's good!"

"Actually, my injuries now don't affect my activities at all." Du Yueyao glanced at Lu Zheng, a bit timidly, "As the chill of winter approaches, more people are coming in for diagnoses. I want to go consult at Renxin Hall, but Sister won't let me. Could you, brother, have a word with her?"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Oh really?"

Seeing an opening, Du Yueyao's eyes lit up and she nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes!"

"Why don't you go talk to your mother and ask her to take you back, come back after the New Year?" Lu Zheng said nonchalantly.

"Cough, cough!" Du Yueyao almost choked, giving Lu Zheng a resentful look, "I just wanted to help Sister."

"If you want to help, focus on recovering." Lu Zheng tapped his bowl with chopsticks, "The saying 'sharpening the ax won't delay the cutting of firewood' holds true here. Your injuries relate to your future achievements, they must be taken seriously."

"Yes!" Du Yueyao nodded immediately, feeling sweet inside.

"Let's eat then."

"Oh~"

"Chomp chomp—"

"Giggle giggle—"

Du Yueyao decisively furrowed her brows, "You two, come to my house this afternoon and transcribe 'Ladies' Training' three times."

"Ah—"

"No way—"

"Sister Yueyao, we're sorry!"

"Please forgive us!"

...

The playful afternoon passed, and Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan were led off by Du Yueyao, sulking. However, soon after, they returned home happily with two snacks.

Mid-3 PM, Lu Zheng was cultivating when he sensed some people approaching his doorstep.

"Hmm?"

"Young Master, Chief Liu is here to visit."

"Please invite him in."

"Yes."

"Young Master Lu!"

"Chief Liu, what a rare guest." Lu Zheng stood up to greet him, noticing Chief Liu was dirty and injured, "What happened to you..."

"Young Master Lu, Old Liu is incompetent, and I have something else to warn you about."

"What's going on?"

As Chief Liu slowly started to explain, Lu Zheng learned the whole story.

Apparently, the two constables caught the man involved in child trafficking, took him to the County Government Office, where they suffered a lot and got a confession that he had caught two other girls earlier, who were hidden in a broken temple, miles north of the city.

When Chief Liu led a squad of constables there to rescue them, unexpectedly, there was a master in the temple.

In a few moves, this master subdued Chief Liu and four constables, rescued the man, and left with the two girls.

The issue is, before leaving, the man menacingly said he'd return one day for that little girl!

So Chief Liu didn't even report back at the County Office first and came straight to the Lu Family.

Lu Zheng smirked, Chief Liu's intentions were transparent, but given his usual respect toward Lu Zheng, there was no reason not to lend a hand, especially if it meant rescuing two innocent girls.

"Do you have anything belonging to that man?"

Chief Liu, smiling broadly, reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of rag, "I tore this off him."
