As the only woman from Lu Zheng’s hometown, Lin Wan did not possess high cultivation, yet she still received ample respect from Si Lingxi and the other two women.
They spent the entire day touring Phoenix Mountain and even visited a town under its jurisdiction. The new world, with its different scenery and culture, left Lin Wan deeply astonished.
At nightfall, the group settled down on Phoenix Mountain. The others thoughtfully left Lu Zheng to Lin Wan, as she had endured the greatest shock and needed the most comfort.
In the antiquated room, lying on the antiquated wooden bed, Lin Wan stared blankly at the red gauze canopy above, as if in a dream.
“What are you thinking about?”
Lu Zheng waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Lin Wan turned stiffly. “You can travel between two worlds.”
Lu Zheng shrugged. “Yes, you have seen it yourself. You are lying here now, aren’t you?”
“You cultivated to immortality in this world.”
“Correct. The modern world has no spiritual energy, so cultivation is impossible there.”
“The Jade Essence Pills, the storage bracelet, and all those delicacies of wolf meat and seafood, they are all from this world.”
“Yes.” Lu Zheng smiled. “How did you guess earlier?”
Lin Wan pouted. “I guessed you had found a legendary blessed paradise, like the Weiyu Mountain Grotto-Heaven in Zhejiang Province, or Chicheng Mountain, Huagai Mountain, and Gaizhu Mountain Grotto-Heavens.”
Lu Zheng was amused. “I did not expect you to know so much.”
Lin Wan reached out and pinched him. “When things suddenly appeared that do not exist in our world, if I did not suspect a system, I naturally thought of grotto-heavens. That was already the most plausible explanation, all right!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“Who would have thought you actually crossed into another world!” Lin Wan sighed. “The humans and writing are the same as ours, just like in a novel.”
“Mm, mm, mm!”
At this point, with no one else around, Lin Wan’s gaze finally sharpened. She reached out and grabbed him, her anger rising. “You actually found three women here!”
“Ahem, ahem!”
“As expected, no man is any good!” Lin Wan moved fiercely, making Lu Zheng draw in a sharp breath. “They say men change when they get rich, but you are far more impressive than the wealthy. I actually thought you were the sole exception!”
A fox! A female ghost! A phoenix!
Lu Zheng had gone even further than ordinary men; the ones he had taken were not even human…
“Heh, heh, heh!”
Hearing this, Lu Zheng gave an awkward laugh, his eyes shifting. Then his figure moved, ready to take action.
At a moment like this, nothing was more suitable than decisively pushing Lin Wan down. If once was not enough, then twice.
However, before Lu Zheng could act, Lin Wan had already flipped over and straddled him.
“Still laughing! Still laughing! I’ll make you laugh! Let’s see if you still have the energy for this! Can you still laugh then!”
…
Early the next morning, Lu Zheng pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, stretched refreshed under the sunlight, and smiled broadly.
Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying emerged from the adjacent wing at the perfect moment, hand in hand.
Shen Ying’s eyes were seductive as she said amusedly, “It seems Sister Wan is fine now?”
Lu Zheng placed his hands on his hips, declaring matter-of-factly, “Of course there is no problem!”
Liu Qingyan shot him a flirtatious glance, then saw Lin Wan walk out of the room, her face flushed and helpless.
Though Lin Wan had started with strong momentum, her combat strength was no match for Lu Zheng. After a night of fierce battle, she had helplessly surrendered in the end.
…
For Lin Wan, suddenly learning that her husband had gained three more intimate companions, it was impossible not to feel jealousy or anger.
But the problem was that Lu Zheng was too extraordinary!
The only transcendent being in the entire world, capable of shuttling between realms.
Lu Zheng was not an ordinary lucky man who had ridden the tide of the times to wealth, and Lin Wan was not a helpless shrew who could only cry, make scenes, or threaten suicide.
Si Lingxi and the other two held no objections to Lin Wan, and Lu Zheng would never abandon his original side. Thus, Lin Wan had only two choices.
Either separate from Lu Zheng, or accept reality.
Lin Wan was not foolish!
All systems and rules must adapt to the person and the situation. Monogamy clearly did not suit Lu Zheng. In the modern world, he could already set his own rules.
Clinging rigidly to that institution and boxing herself in would be truly stupid.
Moreover…
From the time of her car accident, when she had nearly become disabled and Lu Zheng had stayed by her side without abandoning her, she had already committed to him.
Besides…
In the modern world, Lu Zheng had only her as his woman. The three women here could not even be considered human.
Thinking of this, Lin Wan could not help feeling a little proud.
In the modern world, the sole beloved of an immortal.
Standing on equal footing with a nine-tailed fox, an incense deity, and a fire phoenix.
Able to cross into another realm and experience its wonders.
Who else could claim that?
Moreover, it seemed she alone could not fully exhaust Lu Zheng…
What else could she do? Naturally, under Lu Zheng’s advances, she accepted reality with the flow.
…
However, upon stepping outside and seeing the half-smiling gazes of Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying, Lin Wan could not help blushing, worried that last night’s events had been overheard… how embarrassing…
Liu Qingyan stepped forward and took Lin Wan’s arm. “Sister Wan, rest assured. Yesterday, Lu Lang set up a sound-isolating array.”
“Oh, oh!” Lin Wan nodded repeatedly, finally relaxing.
Lu Zheng gave the two women a helpless look.
The sound-isolating array was merely an ordinary barrier of true qi. Though it blocked sound, anyone outside who wished to probe could easily break through it.
Thus, Lu Zheng naturally knew the two women had eavesdropped last night.
As for whether Si Lingxi had listened, with Lu Zheng’s cultivation, he could not detect it.
However, when Si Lingxi suddenly appeared and looked at him with a strange expression, Lu Zheng knew this woman had also listened at the wall.
Good grief, were women of any age immune to gossip? You are three thousand years old; could you not show a little restraint?
“Shall we continue touring Phoenix Mountain today?” Si Lingxi asked with a smile.
Seeing the expectant looks in Liu Qingyan’s and Shen Ying’s eyes, Lin Wan took the initiative. “Why not visit Blue Star today instead? It happens to be the weekend.”
Before crossing over, Lin Wan had called in sick leave. Two workdays had passed, and today was the weekend, perfect for taking Si Lingxi and the others to experience the bustling sights of Haicheng.
“Yes, yes!”
Shen Ying nodded eagerly, and Liu Qingyan and Si Lingxi also brightened.
“Good, let’s go!” Lu Zheng said decisively.
Since Lu Zheng’s room offered no guarantee of privacy, Si Lingxi directly brought everyone to her own boudoir and instructed Hong Lu not to enter without orders.
Moments later, Lu Zheng led the four women back across to the modern world once more.
