Chapter 278 Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Stage



"Oh, so girls hate this." Lu Zhili looked like he understood, like a little adult.

An Wan said with a smile, "Also, girls don't like people asking them their age, weight, and height. Especially boys shouldn't ask, Fifth Brother, remember that."

"Huh? So many things? Why can't I ask about age and weight?"

Lu Zhili increasingly felt that girls were strange creatures; there were things he couldn't ask them.

"Anyway, don't ask. If you ask one day, you won't be able to get a wife," An Wan lectured him earnestly.

Lu Zhili tapped his forehead, nodding and shaking his head intermittently.

"Wife? Why would I need a wife? I have my sister, that's enough for me, I don't need a wife."

He grabbed her arm, afraid she would abandon him.

Because he's so stupid, everyone dislikes him, and maybe she will dislike him too.

"Lu Zhili, are you going to stay single if you don't find a wife? Do you know what happens to single people? It's terrible."

“Look at those old men, they play cards all day long. They love playing cards so much that they would rather never get married than not play cards. As a result, when they get old, they don’t have any relatives by their side.”

She deliberately scared him.

"Oh no! This is terrible! I don't want to be a bachelor, I want to get married." Lu Zhili was so frightened that he hugged An Wan even tighter.

"Hmm, this child is teachable." She gave a cryptic smile.

As An Wan walked to the convenience store, she saw several unfamiliar faces, but unfortunately they were just ordinary people.

Based on this ratio, about ten out of a hundred strangers are actually cultivators.

However, it is also possible that these people never show their faces in the village, but instead hide in the Immortal Mountain.

When we arrived at the convenience store, there were about ten people there, some chatting and some playing cards.

They greeted An Wan and Lu Zhili with smiles.

She returned the smile and addressed him by his name.

Lu Zhili couldn't help but feel surprised by the enthusiasm these people showed him.

They used to call me a fool, but now they've changed their tune and are all fawning over me.

An Wan saw several unfamiliar faces. They were ordinary-looking, had no aura of cultivators, and their levels were unknown.

He thought that they were either ordinary people or cultivators of a higher level than himself.

So she pulled Lu Zhili along, ready to go home, so as not to waste time.

He was confused by her. "Weren't you here to buy snacks? I want to eat instant noodles."

Since opening the pastry shop, his mother has given him one yuan every day as pocket money.

You can buy whatever you want to eat, but not spicy strips.

"Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating." In the end, I had to shoulder everything alone.

An Wan looked utterly dejected, turned around and walked away, ignoring Lu Zhili.

"Little sister, I want to eat! I really want to eat, little sister, wait for me a moment." He grabbed her arm, and the two stopped not far from the convenience store.

As a result of this commotion, more and more people came to watch the spectacle.

"Isn't this Lu Sen's child? He's grown so tall in just a few days."

"Lu Sen's adopted daughter is growing more and more beautiful. She looks so different from when she first arrived in the village."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, the ugly duckling has turned into a swan. She's only a few years old and already so beautiful. When she grows up, she'll be absolutely stunning!"

"Hey guys, you know what, don't you think this girl looks a bit like Lu Sen and his wife? The more you look at her, the more she looks like them."

"It does look somewhat similar, probably because they've lived together for a long time!"

Several elderly men commented on An Wan, offering words of praise.

If it were older women, they would say some very unpleasant things.

Having no other choice, An Wan accompanied Lu Zhili to the convenience store and bought five packs of instant noodles and five bottles of cola.

The shop owner was very welcoming to An Wan and even offered to let her pay for the instant noodles.

Thanks to the recent evening news, many tourists have come to the village, making the small shops particularly busy.

The villagers provide lodging for tourists and earn some money from the accommodation fees. With that money, the children also have pocket money to buy snacks.

When women have money, they will buy more rice, flour, and cooking oil.

Moreover, I earned a small sum of money from renting out the house during this period, which was enough to make up for the losses caused by the floods some time ago.

So now most of the villagers are very grateful to Lu Sen's family.

An Wan walked slowly back, but didn't encounter a third cultivator.

It seems those people have already entered the Immortal Mountain.

She needs to go to Shenxian Mountain tonight to quickly set up the barrier.

After turning a corner, An Wan took Lu Zhili to the old house construction site to check on the progress of the new house's construction.

The first floor has been built, and the framework for the second floor is being erected. I estimate that mud will be poured in in a couple of days.

At this rate, the new three-story building will be completed by early August.

An Wan was very satisfied with the progress of the new house project, especially the fact that the dozen or so workers were working non-stop and there was no slacking off.

These days, as long as you pay enough, most people will work hard and won't dare to be lazy or cut corners.

Lu Sen did not mistreat these workers. He provided them with pork for lunch every day and allowed them to rest at 11:00 AM and return to work at 3:00 PM.

It was hot, so Lu Sen instructed Lu Jingming to stew a pot of mung bean and kelp soup every day to help the chefs cool off.

Sometimes I also buy soft drinks, cola, ice cream, and popsicles.

That's why the masters work so diligently.

With such a great employer, how could I dare to slack off?

This is their good fortune.

Summer nights are especially short.

It was already seven o'clock when it got completely dark.

An Wan went to wash her hair and take a shower first, and by the time her hair was dry, it was already eight o'clock.
