“What strange habits could I possibly have?”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes were clear, and he spoke with a forthright demeanor.
Watching the candid expression on Lu Changsheng’s face, Lu Miaohuan eyed him suspiciously for a moment before shifting her gaze away without saying much.
After all, if you look, you look.
Dressing up like this was meant to be seen by others.
Although she usually confronted such gazes with a ‘What are you looking at? Keep staring and I’ll gouge out your eyes’ attitude or would directly scold them,
at this moment, she didn’t feel the slightest disdain or disgust towards Lu Changsheng’s gaze; instead, she felt a stealthy joy.
She felt attractive, truly believing that she was the most beautiful.
And so, the two walked side by side for a while.
“Alright, I’m home now, see you later, Second Miss.”
When they reached an intersection, Lu Changsheng waved goodbye to Lu Miaohuan.
He didn’t have much to chat about with this Second Miss, and since he was home, it was natural to head back and take a bath.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng only walked a short distance before leaving, without any intention to escort her or even asking if she wanted to visit and have a cup of tea, Lu Miaohuan pursed her lips in displeasure and huffed, saying, “Goodbye.”
Then, like a proud and aloof peacock, she left with the ‘clack clack clack’ of her high heels.
Night fell.
The White Jade Tower sent the four maids purchased by Lu Changsheng.
Since Lu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered to wait, all four maids were readily available stock.
But Xiao Yueru, who possessed a Spiritual Root, would only arrive within a month after notification from White Jade Tower.
Gao He, the neighbor, saw that Lu Changsheng had bought more maids and was somewhat speechless.
He didn’t frequently visit Lu Changsheng’s home but invited Lu Changsheng to his place for tea instead because he felt it wasn’t right to constantly visit when Lu Changsheng’s house was full of female family members.
Seeing Lu Changsheng buying more maids, Gao He couldn’t help but think that he should be more cautious.
After all, he had a daughter at home.
Though his daughter was still young, Lu Changsheng’s appearance and temperament were attractive to both young and old, which caused him worry at this moment.
Of course, Lu Changsheng was not aware of Gao He’s thoughts.
With the addition of four new maids, he noticed another problem.
That was, the yard was becoming too crowded.
If this trend continued and a few more people were added, the dwelling would be too small, and they’d have to live crammed together.
“Sigh, that’s about enough, I need to take it easy,” Lu Changsheng said, shaking his head.
The Lu Family and Lu Miaoyun wouldn’t say anything about his buying maids.
But having acquired ten children in just over half a year since coming to Nine Dragons Market was indeed a bit fast.
Moreover, maintaining such a group of maids in Nine Dragons Market was no small expense.
Since these maids were carrying his children, he naturally couldn’t treat them unfairly.
Their daily consumption of Spirit Rice and Spirit Food,
and also the long-term residence permits they needed in Nine Dragons Marketplace,
added up to no small sum once the numbers grew.
Ordinary people couldn’t afford to sustain such costs.
Without much thought, Lu Changsheng let the new maids assist him with his bath.
The next afternoon, Lu Miaoge came to the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
It was to thank Lu Changsheng for the matters concerning Lu Miaohuan.
The Nine Dragons Marketplace was neither too big nor too small, and both the Lu and Zheng Families had some influence within it, so it was normal for such news to reach both houses.
To this, Lu Changsheng naturally said it was a small matter, nothing significant.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Aside from the addition of refining the Black Dragon Magical Bead to Lu Changsheng’s daily routine, there were no other changes.
After half a month of refinement, he had almost cultivated a fifth of the Black Dragon Magical Bead.
Of the four maids he had bought earlier, one had successfully conceived after receiving his favor.
One day, a young servant came to the Spiritual Talisman Shop; he was sent by the Second Elder to inform him.
He mentioned that in ten days they would be returning to Qingzhu Mountain and asked if Lu Changsheng would like to join them.
“Please tell the Second Elder that I will accompany him back at that time,” Lu Changsheng replied immediately upon hearing the message.
He hadn’t been back in about four months.
Now that the Second Elder was returning, he would naturally take the opportunity to visit his home.
Six days later, it was time for the Spiritual Talisman Shop to receive new stock and inspect the merchandise.
Lu Changsheng also informed Gao He in advance.
With Gao He’s help, the two completed the inspection of all the goods in two days.
“Brother Gao, I’ve troubled you this time,” Lu Changsheng said, taking out twenty Spirit Stones.
This was the wage they had agreed upon.
“Where does that come from, Brother Lu? I should be thanking you,” Gao He replied, not standing on ceremony and cheerfully accepting the Spirit Stones.
As a Middle-Grade Talisman Master, a daily wage of ten Spirit Stones was quite a decent extra income for him.
After taking the Spirit Stones, Gao He hesitated before saying, “Brother Lu, there’s something I’m not sure whether I should say.”
“Oh? Just speak your mind, Brother Gao. Is there really anything that should or shouldn’t be said?” Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow and casually replied.
“As a resident Talisman Master in the Spiritual Talisman Shop, I often drink and chat with Talisman Masters and Shopkeepers from other talisman shops, so I have a rough idea of the situation in the Marketplace’s talisman shops and the quality rate of their goods,”
“Given the reputation of your Lu Family’s shop, the defects in these goods seem a bit unusual,”
“Especially for you, Brother Lu, who cancels contracts with different shops every few months. If this continues, I fear that you would have worked with every Talisman Master in the Marketplace,” Gao He started to say.
