I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 773: When Bored, Demons Come to Entertain
Lu Zheng and Li Ying met with Lin Wan at the city bureau. After all, Huang Xiumin and his team had to take the suspects away, so they couldn’t just wait around at the scene, and Lin Wan also needed to coordinate with the coast guard to explain the situation.
"A major case?"
"Very major!"
"How major?"
"At least a third-class merit, and very likely a second-class merit."
"That’s impressive, huh?"
"Yeah!" Lin Wan nodded repeatedly, very pleased.
Although Li Ying might not earn merit points, being involved in such a major case meant a guaranteed promotion within the year, even if her involvement was just providing information after being kidnapped.
"Since your family doesn’t know about this yet, there’s no rush to go home. Come on, let’s have a late-night snack to calm your nerves."
As Huang Xiumin was occupied, Lin Wan took Li Ying to a 24-hour barbecue place to have some drinks and food.
...
The next few days passed without incident. After a long period of idleness, Lin Wan finally got a task, packed her bags, and boarded a plane for a business trip to Southeast Asia.
Meanwhile, Lu Zheng gathered with familiar friends like Zhao Wenrong and a few roommates for a small get-together and then traveled back to ancient times.
...
The summer hadn’t arrived yet, but the fields outside the city were blooming with flowers, making it a perfect time for a spring outing.
Thinking that there hadn’t been any gatherings since the New Year, Lu Zheng considered organizing another ten-day entertainment event.
"Huh? We just had a gathering yesterday!" Liu Qingyan exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Zheng: ???
Yesterday? As far as he remembered, he was having drinks with his four roommates in modern times yesterday.
Liu Qingyan explained, "Yesterday, Sister Li and Brother Zhu visited, and coincidentally, Miss Hua and Miss Bi came together too, so we went to Peach Blossom Plain for a little get-together. Oh, we also invited Young Master Ning and his wife."
Lu Zheng blinked, "Wait a minute, Ning Zhiqui and Zhu Yushan finally met?"
Liu Qingyan nodded, unable to suppress her laughter, "That’s right, they did!"
"You didn’t consider inviting me for a scene like that?"
Liu Qingyan giggled, "Lu Lang, you weren’t here yourself. What could I do?"
"What happened?" Lu Zheng asked, gossiping.
"It’s nothing much." Liu Qingyan waved her hand, pretending not to care, "It’s just that Young Master Zhu seemed dazed for a moment, drank a few more cups, and looked slightly absent-minded."
Obviously, it was quite interesting.
"But he soon returned to normal, and he and Young Master Ning started discussing history and politics as if they were long-lost friends, feeling like they met each other too late."
Liu Qingyan shook her head, smiling, "And Young Master Ning had great admiration for Brother Zhu, repeatedly saying it was a pity after hearing about Brother Zhu’s experiences."
Lu Zheng nodded, "Makes sense, one coming from a poor background and becoming a top scholar in his youth, the other having everything but never managing to succeed, they must have a lot in common."
Liu Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Feeling the laughter of the beauty beside him, Lu Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he turned over, pressing down again.
"For not inviting me yesterday!"
"Lu Lang, have mercy, you weren’t here yesterday!"
"For not telling me in advance!"
"But I didn’t know either, ooh—"
...
"So boring..."
Lu Zheng lay on a recliner in Taohua Village; beside him, Shen Ying was shelling peanuts for him, and several Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens fanned and massaged them.
"Back when I was weak, I often ran into demons and monsters. Now that my cultivation is up, and I’m not afraid anymore, nothing happens..."
Shen Ying chuckled, "Isn’t this good? Do you still want to fight and kill all day? If you’re feeling bored, why not take a trip to the Netherworld with Old Yue?"
"No, I don’t want to!" Lu Zheng shook his head, "Old Yue got a shadow from the last beating; he hasn’t gone to the Netherworld in ages.
Never mind, just drinking tea and chatting every day is quite nice. Fighting and killing is too much of a strain... eh?"
"Hehehe! What a beautiful girl, hiding in such a secluded place, even the gatekeepers are so pretty. It seems I’m quite lucky, just coming down the mountain to find such a good place!"
A cold and eerie voice echoed not far from the manor.
Then came the fierce shouts of Tao Qing and Tao Zhen.
"Where does this demon come from? Not even bothering to find a water reflection, this is the manor of the Peach Blossom Fairy, apologize and leave swiftly, or don’t blame us for skinning you alive!"
"Hahaha! Two little girl ghosts speaking such big words, aren’t you just a local Earth God, calling yourself Peach Blossom Fairy? Once I take her, you all will become my maids."
The voice rapidly approached, "As for the Earth God... let the Court appoint another one then!"
Lu Zheng was speechless.
Shen Ying curved her lips slightly, then gestured, signaling the Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens to clear the path and return.
The next moment, the gates of Taohua Village swung open, and in came a middle-aged man in green clothes, with an ugly face and a wicked smile.
His eyes lit up upon seeing Shen Ying.
They sparkled even more when seeing Lu Zheng.
"Hehehe! I didn’t expect to find a delicate scholar here. My luck is truly good!"
Lu Zheng: ???
"Get him..."
In an instant, white cloud Qi enveloped the four directions of Taohua Village, and then a White Cloud Hand Seal came pressing down.
Terrifying Dao resonance filled the air, like a wall that can’t be penetrated, pressing in from all sides, gradually contracting into a cage.
"Spare me, True Man!"
The man let out a startled cry and tried to escape, but all he saw was a fog of white clouds before him, with no sign of Taohua Village’s gate?
The White Cloud Hand Seal came crashing down, slamming the man into the ground.
A surge of demon Qi rose; the man still attempted to struggle, leaping forward with difficulty.
But the White Cloud Hand Seal squeezed harder, crushing his demon Qi, and then the cloud Qi entered his body, directly sealing all his magical power.
"Thud!"
The man fell to the ground again, then rolled over, turning into a toad about one meter across.
"A big frog?"
"A toad!"
Lu Zheng shook his head, "I was just thinking of improving our meals, but this doesn’t look appetizing."
"Then you might as well..."
With a thought, Lu Zheng sent a Golden Palace Heart Sword over, instantly eliminating the toad with three or four hundred years of Dao Practice.
Then he turned to Shen Ying, "Are there many demons like this normally?"
"Of course not." Shen Ying smiled, "Occasionally, there’s a reckless demon who just came down the mountain, most are cautious, this one is an exception."
Since it couldn’t be eaten, it had to be buried.
With a flip of her hand, Shen Ying split the ground, burying the toad beneath it. The peach tree roots smoothened the earth, as if nothing had happened.
"Since Lu Lang is bored, why not play a game of chess with me?" Shen Ying suggested with a smile.
Lu Zheng nodded, about to agree when a paper crane flew into Taohua Village, bearing a message from Liu Qingyan.
"Fan Boyu is visiting, accompanied by a Saintess from the Primordial Saint Sect."
