Summer nights are long, and the moonlight is as clear as water.
That night, Lu Sen and Yun Ping slept soundly in bed, but judging from their furrowed brows, it was clear that they had had a difficult night.
But we made it through successfully.
The five Lu brothers also got through the night without incident.
After all, they are young and physically strong.
Just as the sky began to brighten, they were all awakened by the stench emanating from their own bodies, and were so frightened that they vomited on the spot.
If I hadn't skipped dinner and gone to bed last night, the room would probably still stink.
They rushed into the bathroom and washed for an hour, using up half a bar of soap, before they could get rid of the stench.
After the Lu family was safe, An Wan and Lu Jiayan went back to their rooms to rest.
Dongxi took Guaiguai and Wutian back to Shenxian Mountain, planning to come back again that evening.
"Honey, do I still smell bad?" Lu Sen returned to the room after washing up, and Yun Ping also came out of the bathroom.
He had washed himself several times, but he still felt the odor on his body. He had smelled his sons' bodies and found that they smelled much less bad.
Unlike himself, who stank so badly he couldn't even open his eyes.
It's probably because I haven't been exercising much these past few months while sitting in a wheelchair, and also because of my age, which means my body has a lot of impurities.
Yunping blushed and sniffed Lu Sen's shoulder. "It doesn't smell bad."
"Really? Thank you, my wife." With her affirmation, his mood brightened like a cloudy day turning into a sunny one.
The five Lu brothers arrived one after another in the living room on the second floor to share their experiences and current situations.
"I felt incredibly light after waking up, like I could float away." Lu Chunhe said directly, his mind filled with the words "cultivating immortality."
"Me too. Besides feeling light and comfortable, I feel that my five senses have become stronger. I can hear very small sounds."
Lu Jingming smiled, his eyes almost squinting into slits.
Lu Yanshu had a pleasant smile on his lips. "My eyesight has become very clear. I used to be nearsighted by 100 degrees, but this morning I found that I can see things hundreds of meters away, even ants."
"Not bad! You guys, this Marrow Cleansing Pill is very effective. My five senses have been enhanced several times over." Lu Jingxing was the last to arrive in the living room and sat down on the sofa to rest.
He almost scrubbed his skin off to get rid of the stench.
"My nose has become more sensitive; I can even smell someone cooking pumpkin porridge in the village." Lu Zhili sniffed twice, catching a faint scent of pumpkin porridge in the air.
His mouth was watering. "I'm so hungry! It feels like my stomach is stuck together from not eating all night. I've never been this hungry before. I was sick for two days and didn't eat anything, and I wasn't this hungry then. Is breakfast ready? I could eat a whole pig right now."
"All you ever do is eat. Look at you, you've gained weight recently," Lu Chunhe jokingly retorted.
"Second brother, you still smell bad." Lu Zhili deliberately leaned over to smell Lu Chunhe's clothes, his face showing disgust.
"You're the one who stinks! Go eat breakfast, I'm starving." Lu Chunhe pushed his naughty younger brother towards him. Ever since he became smarter, he's always making things difficult for him.
I don't even know when I offended him.
They went downstairs for breakfast, just as Lu Sen and Yun Ping arrived at the restaurant.
Sister Zhang had already prepared breakfast, a table full of food, including steamed buns and dumplings, soy milk and fried dough sticks, and millet porridge.
They sat down according to seniority, with the parents at the top of the table and the children sitting in order of age.
This is an ancestral precept established by Lu Sen.
Lu Jingxing and Lu Chunhe sat on either side of the dining table, in the first position.
The second place is occupied by Lu Jingming and Lu Zhili, and the last place is occupied by Lu Yanshu.
Although the couple had previously favored their fifth son, they still dared not let him sit next to them.
Even if they favor An Wan now, they can't let her sit in the first position.
The first position should be reserved for the eldest son, Lu Jingxing, because only in this way will he understand his responsibilities as the eldest son.
Instead of having him switch seats with Lu Zhili, which would cause the eldest son to complain and no longer take on the responsibilities of the eldest son.
The younger son, on the other hand, would take advantage of his parents' favoritism and act recklessly.
Many families make this mistake, which ultimately leads to disharmony within the family.
Lu Sen absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen; he himself had been a victim before.
Therefore, from the moment his eldest son was born, he adopted a strict military education.
In modern terms, this is what we call "wolf education."
She was puzzled and worried when she saw that An Wan and Lu Jiayan had not arrived.
"Madam, why haven't Wanwan and Jiayan come down for breakfast?"
An Wan loves her cooking the most, and she's always the first one to arrive at the restaurant every day, sitting there obediently.
Could it be that last night...?
But An Wan clearly did nothing wrong, so the master and mistress wouldn't hit her.
It's impossible that they would take their anger out on her just because she's not their biological child!
We got along very well during this time, and they didn't seem like the kind of people who would abuse their adopted daughter.
Seeing Zhang Jie looking at her questioningly, Yunping was both amused and exasperated, and explained, "Wanwan and Jiayan stayed up too late last night, so I let them sleep a little longer."
"Oh, okay. I'll keep the breakfast warm so they can have something to eat whenever they get up."
Sister Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't bear to see An Wan get hurt or bullied.
But he dared not say it outright, for fear that Yunping would misunderstand.
"Everyone, please be quiet this morning and don't disturb your sister," Lu Jingxing said, his words like a royal decree.
“Jingxing is right. If all of you go out in the morning and don’t wake up in the evening, none of you can come back.”
Lu Sen waved his hand and decided to kick all his sons out.
"Dad, you're being unfair." Lu Zhili pouted. It was very hot outside; the leaves were practically scorching from the sun.
The father actually told them all to go outside and not to come home.
That's so unfair!
"Hmph! Can you compare to Wanwan?" Lu Sen glared at Lu Zhili, scaring him into shutting his mouth.
He dared not anger his father.
My parents used to love me the most, but now that I have a younger sister, they only care about loving and doting on her.
He became like a weed.
But it's okay, because his little sister is cute and he loves her very much.
"Aunt Zhang, don't worry! We're too busy taking care of our precious little sister, how could we possibly bully her?" Lu Chunhe scratched the back of his head, feeling wronged by being "accused" by Sister Zhang.
He couldn't very well say that the whole family had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill last night and slept all night, leaving An Wan and Lu Jiayan to watch over them all night.
After dawn, seeing that they were alright, they probably went to catch up on sleep and rest!
However, it's a good thing that she's so concerned and attentive to An Wan.
Because the more people love her, the more happiness she will have.
After breakfast, Lu Sen really kicked Lu Jingxing and his five brothers out.
He and Yunping stayed at home, but they sat quietly, looking at the cultivation techniques An Wan had left them, and choosing a book that suited their attributes to cultivate.
The five Lu brothers each took a cultivation manual and went to Old Master He's residence to find He Sichen.
The eight people avoided He Yurou and Jiang Wanruo and secretly went to another house to chat.
Knowing that An Wan was still sleeping and forbidding them from disturbing her, and seeing that Lu Jingxing and his five brothers, along with He Sichen, Fang Xing, and Han Ling, had slipped away, they could guess that they were hiding something.
