There’s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 133
Chapter 133: 133, [A superior person in the outside world? Non-existent]
Translator: 549690339
New Year’s Eve arrived just like this.
Lu Xun still maintained a good habit from his former life, greeting everyone he met with “Happy New Year”.
It’s hard to imagine, under the leadership of Shen Yan, the stingy rooster, the
Demon Sect even handed out benefits for the New Year.
Every disciple surprisingly received new clothes.
Everyone was wearing brand-new black robes, and hanging on the belt of the black robe was a red wooden tag. It didn’t look as cool as usual, but it was more festive.
Naturally, Lu Xun also received new clothes. Although they didn’t have any bonuses and weren’t considered magical weapons, they were made of top-notch materials, making them comparable to stylish luxury goods.
Third Senior Brother received a robe in the same style as Lu Xun. However, he still looked a bit rustic wearing it, especially with his dark face and squinty eyes. It just felt a bit odd.
But when Lu Xun put it on, he was truly as handsome as a jade on a desolate road, an unparalleled gentleman!
Even the shy Little Chan had sneaked glances at him several times today. As for the senior… he didn’t wear a white shirt today, but instead, changed into a red one.
It’s hard to imagine, a middle-aged, thin man, with a plain and slightly ugly face, walking with a catwalk step and posh attitude, all while wearing a bright Leu luue.
Does this flamboyant style still maintain the air of a superior person?
A superior person should always carry a superior air! Why act in such a way?
But no matter what, the whole Demon Sect was indeed filled with the New Year spirit.
Somehow, the Demon Sect has always been very secular, from top to bottom it was imbued with a worldliness. Many disciples even specifically flew to the city to buy fireworks. The bangs and pops resonated all morning, and Lu Xun could hear them even from across the mountain.
But he didn’t find it noisy and was even considering whether to ask for a string of fireworks from the disciples later.
Being able to fly, Lu Xun first went to the outer mountain to visit Ji Li.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he took the initiative to visit her. Despite always promising to visit her every time they parted.
A man’s mouth is the devil’s mouthpiece.
Compared to the inner mountain, the outer mountain was actually livelier.
The disciples of the Outer Sect were originally numerous and most of them were young, so they were quite active today.
Although a part of the disciples had gone down the mountain to visit their relatives, it was still extraordinarily lively.
Each of the houses was decorated with lanterns and garlands. It was apparent that the disciples had put a lot of effort into it.
The elders did not criticize them for not focusing on their cultivation. On the contrary, the Outer Sect Elders and Deacons were even more engaged in the festivities.
Turns out there were even two Outer Sect Deacons that were skilled at lion dancing, and they started to perform!
On Lu Xun’s way, the disciples who saw him paid their respects and greeted him. Lu Xun was very amiable, returning their New Year greetings.
He even heard female disciples arguing after he left, such as:
“Young Elder Lu Xun clearly wished me a happy new year, teehee!”
“You’re bluffing. He was clearly looking at me when he said that, hehe.”
Lu Xun walked all the way to Ji Li’s place. She was sitting outside her door, stretching her neck to look at the passers-by, her eyes filled with anticipation and a bit of disappointment.
But when Lu Xun appeared, her eyes were filled with one color!
“Young Elder…” Ji Li saw that no one was around and changed her greeting: “Lu Xun!”
“Ji Li, Happy New Year,” Lu Xun said with a smile.
He took a good look at Ji Li, who seemed even more mature. He couldn’t help thinking, “Has this girl hit puberty again?”
If Mao Nanbei was here, they’d be so jealous they’d faint…
The black dress she was wearing seemed tight around some areas.
Today, Ji Li had obviously put a lot of effort into her appearance. Although she didn’t know if Lu Xun was going to visit her today, she did her best to dress herself up.
What if… he came?
She had a lot of things she wanted to say to Lu Xun but now that he was actually here, she didn’t know what to say.
Lu Xun smiled softly at her, then took out a warm fried egg roll from his pocket and asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
Ji Li had already eaten, but she still quickly took the offer, saying, “I haven’t.”
After taking it, she didn’t immediately begin eating, instead she asked Lu Xun, “Have you eaten yet?”
Lu Xun had of course already eaten, but he thought for a while and felt that sharing the food with her would taste better than her eating alone. So he said,
“Can you share some with me?”
The two ate the cake, reminding him of the time they first met.
Back then, he had just traveled to this world and didn’t even have food. It was Ji Li who shared half of her dry rations with him.
That was a half piece of cake from the side of the mountain.
So when Lu Xun made the egg cake today, he also made one for her.
After they finished eating, Lu Xun took out a small red envelope from his pocket.
Obviously, the Heavenly Dust Continent didn’t have the kind of red envelopes popular in modern society. The so-called red envelopes were just casually wrapped with a fairly thick red paper.
“Here, this is for you,” Lu Xun smiled and said, “Open it tonight.”
“Okay!” Ji Li nodded vigorously, put it in her pocket, placing it close to her body, securely tucked away.
Lu Xun had put a tiny storage ring in there, and in the storage ring were a thousand spirit stones.
As a young elder of the Demon Sect, he could receive 3,000 spirit stones a month.
A thousand spirit stones were not few. Ji Li’s current cultivation base would not cost many spirit stones, so it was just to make her happy during the new year.
Lu Xun looked down at her and joked, “No one in the Outer Sect would dare to bully you, right?”
Ji Li shook her head and said, “Of course no one dares to bully me, after all, I have strong backing.”
After saying this, she even winked at Lu Xun.
“Hmm, Murong Yan is indeed a solid backing,” Lu Xun nodded repeatedly, which irritated Ji Li half to death.
But no matter how angry she was, for her, who was in the late stage of face control, she would calm down just by taking one look at Lu Xun.
Who could be angry at such a face, Who could!?
After staying with Ji Li for a while longer, Lu Xun took his leave. He was one of the head chefs in the back mountain today and had to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner, so he was quite busy.
Watching the departing figure of Lu Xun, Ji Li touched the red envelope in her pocket. Her heart was already filled with contentment, so much so that when night came, she may not even bear to open it.
When he returned to the back mountain, Lu Xun found that there was an extra person there today- the mute old man from the foot of Hidden Mountain had come.
Although he always lived in the wooden house at the foot of Hidden Mountain, don’t forget that he was the old servant of the master, even Senior Yanli was raised by him.
“Elder Gui,” Lu Xun greeted him.
The old man smiled and nodded at Lu Xun. The way he looked at Lu Xun was as if he was looking at his own young master. However, his actions were still incredibly slow.
The mute old man always wore an old robe on normal days. Perhaps because he was coming to meet the master today, or perhaps because today was New
Year’s Eve, he had specially changed into new clothes.
In his new clothes, the old man seemed a bit more energetic.
The master called out from the house, “Little Gui, come in and help me grind the ink!”
Elder Gui hurriedly walked into the house with a smile. His movements were still slower than the average person, but compared to his usual pace, he had already quickened his steps.
Lu Xun didn’t know how many years this pair of master and servant had been together.
But it was quite obvious, the master’s ‘Little Gui’ had already become an old man with grey hair.
In the house, the mute old man helped the master grind the ink. Because his movements were so slow, the master urged him several times.
In the vast Demon Sect, from top to bottom, there was really not a bit of worldliness.
But Lu Xun felt it was all quite endearing, these cultivators in the Demon Sect
were, well…
-Kind of cute, huh.
