I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 672: The Matter of Japan Settled

Back at home, nighttime had already fallen.

Lu Zheng instructed Uncle Li to arrange a room in the side courtyard for Yue Honghai and then dismissed him to go cultivate on his own.

Afterward, Lu Zheng stood in the courtyard, somewhat lost in thought.

To be honest, Lu Zheng initially took in Yue Honghai on a whim after realizing He Dingshan had decided to follow Zhu Yushan.

After all, how could Zhu Yushan have a master as a personal attendant, and I have none? Right when I wasn't sure how to handle Yue Honghai, I placed a restriction on him and took him in temporarily.

Though not needed daily, he would be formidable during battles. Against ordinary weaklings, Lu Zheng wouldn't need to step in personally.

As for placing a restriction on Yue Honghai, would it lead to resentment? Lu Zheng didn't concern himself with that.

It served as a pledge of loyalty, a foundation of mutual trust, in addition to the cultivation technique, food, and drink offered later, Lu Zheng's stance was clear, and Yue Honghai had already accepted.

Therefore, as long as Yue Honghai did not betray him, the restriction's symbolic meaning overshadowed its actual one.

Importantly, such situations were common in the world; otherwise, where do you think all those Divine Soul Restrictions in sects were used?

Lu Zheng was daydreaming when a white shadow darted over the courtyard wall.

"Lu Lang?"

Liu Qingyan gracefully flew over and landed beside Lu Zheng.

"You're back from Jizhou?"

She hadn't realized Lu Zheng had gone directly to Yizhou Prefecture after his return, thinking he had just returned from Jizhou Baiyun Temple.

Lu Zheng embraced Liu Qingyan, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, then lifted her into his arms and headed toward the room.

Liu Qingyan exclaimed and then buried her head in Lu Zheng's chest.

"Lu Lang~~~"

...

Liu Qingyan nestled in Lu Zheng's arms, her chest rising and falling, drenched in fragrant sweat.

"So, you took in a skilled Crocodile Spirit as a guard?"

Hearing Lu Zheng's account, Liu Qingyan realized there was a new master in the side courtyard.

Before bringing Yue Honghai to Tonglin County, Lu Zheng had briefed him on the situation. Otherwise, with Yue Honghai's Dao practice, he wouldn't fail to notice Liu Qingyan flying from next door into Lu Zheng's courtyard.

"Lu Lang, you're amazing!" Liu Qingyan lifted her head slightly, gazing at Lu Zheng with admiration and adoration.

Biting her lower lip, moved by emotions, her eyes glistening with wateriness, a fluffy tail lightly brushed against Lu Zheng's lower abdomen, teasingly caressing a certain area.

Lu Zheng took a deep breath and flipped over to embrace her once more.

...

The next morning, Liu Qingquan and Ao Qian came over to Lu Zheng's house for breakfast.

Even though Madam Liu had prepared breakfast, a change was refreshing.

Knowing Yue Honghai had a big appetite, Aunt Liu prepared more breakfast, and Yue Honghai, having never had such a variety before, was amazed.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingyan, Du Yueyao, Liu Qingquan, and Ao Qian, after greeting and briefly seeing Yue Honghai, remained focused on Lu Zheng, listening to him recount how Zhu Yushan missed the exam again.

Suffice to say, although Zhu Yushan's affairs weren't publicly spread, they were well-known within their circle.

Liu Qingquan remarked that it was typical and shared with Ao Qian how Zhu Yushan frequently missed exams in his daily life when he was an ordinary person.

Ao Qian listened in amazement, "With such bad luck, Sister Li is still willing to marry him?"

Liu Qingquan didn't know some specific details, "I heard he missed a few exams all because of Sister Li."

To Lu Zheng's left, Du Yueyao exclaimed in disbelief, "Young Master Zhu has over a hundred years of Dao practice but still missed the state exam?"

Liu Qingyan also sighed helplessly, "If he were like before, honestly headed to the ferry and took the main road to Yizhou, perhaps he..."

Lu Zheng chimed in, "Perhaps he would have encountered other issues."

All the women, "..."

Finishing breakfast, Lu Zheng took Yue Honghai to Peach Blossom Plain to familiarize himself with the surroundings, then sent him back home.

Lu Zheng, naturally, stayed at Peach Blossom Plain, accompanying Shen Ying for a stroll and staying another night, savoring the sweet and delightful Peach Blossom Brew.

...

Time quickly moved to the end of July.

One morning, Lu Zheng opened his eyes and attempted to withdraw his arm from beneath Shen Ying's firmness.

Shen Ying woke up simultaneously, her peach-blossom-like eyes blinked dreamily, and she nudged against Lu Zheng's arm with a smile.

Consequently, Lu Zheng ended up having lunch again at Taohua Village.

...

The present day, Friday night.

The night wind was strong outside; according to the news, a typhoon had formed, affecting the coast.

Lu Zheng made two bowls of noodle soup, sour and spicy, just how Lin Wan liked it.

"Only one left now." Lin Wan said while eating.

"So soon?" Lu Zheng asked curiously.

They were discussing the overseas Japanese school matters. Since being targeted and deciding on revenge, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan occasionally sneaked out of the country.

Those militarists, all secretly within the criminal records, either met unexpected deaths or suffered endlessly, living lives worse than death, with short impending fates.

Over time, the blacklist's members dwindled to just one remaining.

Lin Wan chuckled, "These overseas Japanese schools are just so many. As long as connections are made in follow-ups, there's no need for many people to join; otherwise, it's like hiding money near the place—like Matsui Conglomerate, one of the big bosses there."

Lu Zheng nodded, "In that case, after eating, let's go out for a spin and get back early. Maybe we can squeeze in a late-night snack."

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng, but her eating speed increased, and she added while eating, "The typhoon is coming soon. Let's hurry and avoid running into it on our way."

After eating, washing dishes, turning off the air conditioner, and opening the windows, Lu Zheng suddenly vanished with Lin Wan from the room.

...

11:30 PM, inner riverbank of Hai City.

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan strolled hand in hand among the crowd, enjoying the southeast night wind while admiring the neon lights between skyscrapers and street traffic.

"This late at night, almost midnight, why are there still so many people? Aren't they bored?" Lu Zheng quipped.

A young couple, also holding hands, walked by, glanced at Lu Zheng, looking puzzled.

Lin Wan couldn't hold back a laugh, "So are you saying you're bored yourself?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Yeah, having several billion lying in the bank account, I spend my days eating, drinking, and having fun, with nothing to do!"

The couple quickly sped away.

Lin Wan laughed uncontrollably and decided not to roam around. Instead, she pulled Lu Zheng back home, and while shedding clothes, they entered the luxuriously appointed double-bathtub bathroom together…
