Chapter 154
Amid the thick smoke and flames, a woman walked slowly towards the explosion holding an umbrella, without even turning back to glance at the explosion.
Without seeing her face clearly, Lu Jia knew from her figure that she must be a beauty. He couldn't help but think, if such a beauty walked gracefully in the light smoke and drizzle, how beautiful it would be. But now the beauty was holding an umbrella, and the background was the continuous explosion of flames. She was holding the umbrella to block the explosion fragments and dust falling from the sky from time to time. It was quite heart-stirring - if you don't consider that this explosion was caused by her.
"Everyone is seriously looking for treasures and resources, but Xu Shulou is looking for mushrooms. I said, there is a reason why I don't like her..." Lu Jia's voice of complaint became lower and lower, and as she slowly approached, he swallowed the last word into his throat.
Xu Shulou approached and gently shook the oil-paper umbrella with apricot blossoms and mist in her hand. It instantly turned into a folding fan with the same pattern. She took it in her hand and shook it: "I'm sorry, I made a little too much noise."
Lu Yi came back to her senses and commented in a low voice: "It's not quite what I imagined. It's not that bitter and vengeful..."
"yes……"
"What's the next plot? Lu Beichen takes two beauties on a trip together?"
Xu Shulou looked very happy. He threw something in his hand to Bai Roushuang: "I picked some mushrooms."
Lu Yi and the others watched carefully and saw that she threw a bunch of ugly broken mushrooms to Bai Roushuang. They were wondering what kind of new form of humiliation this was.
Lu Jia held his breath in excitement, his eyes shining: "Tear it up, tear it up!"
Bai Roushuang didn't show any anger on her face, she just smiled and said, "Great, I just want to research new dishes."
Xu Shulou noticed that Lu Jia and the other two were staring at him, and asked cautiously, "You guys want mushrooms too?"
“…”
Lu Yi suddenly came up with a bold idea.
"He was frightened," she asked tentatively, "Miss Xu, can you make him a bowl of soothing soup?"
Xu Shulou raised his eyebrows: "How do you know I can make a calming soup?"
Of course it's written in the book... Seeing that Lu Beichen was leading people to deal with the two-headed fly corpse and was not paying attention to this side, Lu Yi used him as an excuse: "I occasionally heard Senior Brother Lu mention it before. He said that he likes to drink your calming soup the most. It's just right. You can give Senior Brother Lu a bowl after you make it."
Xu Shulou was confused: "When did Lu Beichen drink my tranquilizing soup?"
"No, how could he deserve that treatment?" Bai Roushuang shook her head. "Senior Sister, have you forgotten? The last time we met him in the Nightmare Swamp, he was almost possessed by a nightmare, and you beat him up and woke him up."
"...You can't say that," Xu Shulou's eyes wandered, "That was the best way to wake him up in the Nightmare Swamp. There was no time to make soup at that time. I didn't beat him because of a personal grudge."
Bai Roushuang looked up at the sky: "But you don't have to pursue symmetry."
"Okay," Xu Shulou admitted, "I did hit the second palm a little too smoothly."
Lu Yi was confused by what he heard. Xu Shulou had already taken a few steps forward and motioned for Lu Jia to stretch out his hand. He placed his hand on his wrist and diagnosed: "It's more like excitement than shock. No tranquilizing soup is needed."
Excited? Lu Yi turned around and glared at this guy. Was he expecting Bai Roushuang and Xu Shulou to fight? What kind of evil taste?
Seeing Xu Shulou and the other person walking away talking and laughing, Lu Jia felt a little depressed: "Could this be the legendary fake sisters?"
Lu Yi felt something was wrong, so she quickly pulled Lu Jia and said, "Hey, do you feel something is wrong? Bai Roushuang has become Elder Bai? Did we travel to the wrong time?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Lu Jia pointed at a woman in the Lingxiao Sect team, "Did you see the woman wearing a topaz hook around her waist? Isn't that Huang Yinghe?"
Lu Yi looked confused: "Who?"
"You didn't read this book seriously enough," Lu Jia complained, and briefly explained to her, "Huang Yinghe is a female cannon fodder in the early part of the book. She likes Lu Beichen, and in the plot she is determined to deal with Bai Roushuang. In the end, she was kicked out of Lingxiaomen and died outside."
Lu Yi still had no impression, but she understood what he meant: "You mean, since she is still alive, it should still be the early stage of the novel?"
"Yes," Lu Jia touched his chin, "It's just that I can't figure out what's going on with Chen Zhuang."
That night, when it got dark, everyone found a campsite to set up camp. Bai Roushuang was fiddling with the mushrooms. She raised her hand and the mushrooms turned into powder in her palm.
Lu Yi sat by the fire and ate a Bigu Pill, which was the monthly allowance given to disciples by Lingxiao Sect. She sighed comfortably, "Fortunately, this Bigu Pill tastes good."
The disciple beside him laughed and said, "Yes, I heard that the Bigu Pills from more than a hundred years ago were simply difficult to swallow. I really have to thank Elder Bai."
"Bai Roushuang, why?"
"You don't know?" The disciple was quite surprised. "The current Bigu Pill was invented by her."
Lu Yi was stunned: "Is that so? I really haven't heard of it..."
She thought about it and tried to get closer to Bai Roushuang and find out some information.
How do you get closer to a stranger? Of course, you should curse at the person you both hate.
Lu Yi thought about the contents of the book and came forward: "Elder Bai, I just asked Senior Sister Xu to make a calming soup. We are outer disciples who bother her. Isn't she unhappy?"
She asked the question in front of Lu Beichen on purpose. If Bai Roushuang was really smart, she would have taken the opportunity to step on her rival in front of her lover.
She had a good plan, but Bai Roushuang was just slightly startled, then smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, my senior sister is very easy-going. She probably just doesn't like you two. Don't take it to heart."
“……”Thank you so much for your comfort.
Lu Jia didn't give up and approached Lu Beichen: "Brother Lu, no, Senior Brother Lu, if you had to choose between Miss Bai and Miss Xu, which one would you marry?"
"What kind of question is that?" Lu Beichen smiled bitterly, "How can it be my turn to choose?"
"You are the future Long Aotian," Lu Jia patted his shoulder, "Be more confident!"
"What a mess?" Lu Beichen shook his head and ignored him.
"Well...if you don't like Xu Shulou, do you mind if I pursue her?" Lu Jia probed.
Lu Beichen gave him a look that could be described as terrifying, and Lu Jia even read a bit of respect from his face.
"It's not good. It's not easy for Lingxiao Sect to recruit a disciple. You... just live well."
"Ah?" Lu Jia thought he was threatening him, but after thinking about it, it made sense. After all, he and Xu Shulou were engaged, so he might still have some possessiveness. He quickly smiled and said, "Brother Lu, don't get excited. I was just joking."
Lu Yi rolled her eyes again. It was so hard to have a chance to communicate with the characters in the book, and you asked such a boring question? She rolled her eyes and came up with a plan: "Brother Lu, in fact, we have awakened the ability of prophecy. If you agree to let the two of us pick the magic weapons we get in this secret realm first, I will tell you some things about the future."
Lu Beichen didn’t believe it at all: “Stop joking, we are all in this together, if we have to choose, the one who has contributed the most on Wuchen Island will be chosen first.”
According to his previous temper, he would have gotten angry and chased the person away long ago, but it is not easy for Lingxiao Sect to recruit people now... Lu Beichen was very melancholy.
"Senior Brother Lu, don't worry about that," Lu Yi smiled, "I believe that as long as you are willing to speak up, the two of them will be willing to compromise."
Lu Beichen looked at her with a half-smile: "How do you know?"
"I just know it." Lu Yi was very confident. Even though she didn't remember the plot of this stallion novel very clearly, she was deeply impressed by the scenes where Xu Shulou was willing to be a bootlicker.
"Since you know everything, why don't you go ask them yourself?"
Lu Yi stamped her feet and turned around suddenly, only to find that Xu Shulou had quietly stood behind her. In the night, she was holding a luminous pearl in her hand, and the faint light was shining on her face from bottom to top.
Lu Yi was so frightened by this strange scene that she didn't have time to see the other person's face clearly. She shouted in horror: "Ghost!"
Before Xu Shulou could react, Bai Roushuang was furious and looked over with a kitchen knife in hand: "My senior sister is so beautiful, how dare you mistake her for a ghost?"
"..." What? Lu Yi cursed inwardly, shouldn't Bai Roushuang hate Xu Shulou? What kind of twisted relationship between you two is this?
