Emperor of Nine Suns

The junior sister helps her foster mother kill chickens and fish, wash dishes, wash pots and pick vegetables, and is proficient in everything.

Knowing that Chu Chen likes to eat meat, the junior sister even went to the market to buy a few kilograms of fine tenderloin, and specially set up a bonfire in the yard to roast the meat. Chu Chen immediately beamed.

When it was getting late, a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table one after another.

Several farm side dishes, a plate of fragrant braised fish, a plate of soy pork elbows, a can of good soup stewed by home-grown hens, and a plate of roasted tenderloin. The aroma was so fragrant that Chu Chen's index fingers moved.

"There is nothing good in this remote place. There are just a few side dishes. They are not as good as the delicious food of you immortals. Don't be dissatisfied." After the meal was served, the adoptive mother smiled sheepishly.

"Auntie, please don't say that. This is already very good. Meng'er also knows that we can't eat such good food even in Biquan Immortal Sect." Chu Chen said quickly.

"Yes, mother, what we eat every day in the sect are grass, flowers, and the like. Where can we find such delicacies?" Tong Meng smiled slightly.

This meal was really hearty. When he just came down the mountain, the attentive Tong Meng knew that he still needed to prepare some gold and silver to live in the secular world, so he exchanged some spiritual stones for them in the market at the foot of the mountain. More than one hundred taels of gold and more than three hundred taels of silver are stored in the storage ring.

These worldly things, which are almost meaningless to monks, are very important to secular people.

The total cost of this table of dishes is probably not more than a tael of silver. For many secular people, it can be called a very luxury. Many farmers only prepare such a sumptuous meal during the Chinese New Year every year.

It took half an hour to finish this meal. After having enough wine and food, the night was already dark.

After putting away the dishes, Tong Meng walked up to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Brother Chu, I'm afraid I'm going to wrong you, so just sleep in the woodshed for the night."

This small courtyard is not big. There are only two wing rooms, one is the main room, and there is only one bedroom, so Chu Chen can only sleep in the woodshed.

But Chu Chen didn't care. When he was running around for medicine every day in the Biquan Immortal Sect, he often found a cave and slept in it for the night. The woodshed was pretty good.

So Chu Chen found a piece of wood and chose a clean place in the woodshed to put it on.

I brought another quilt and spread it out. A simple floor bed was made, and I lay down and rested peacefully.

The night was hazy, the crescent moon hung high, and a layer of hazy white moonlight shrouded the peaceful town of Luwang.

Just when most of the residents in the entire town had fallen asleep, in the north of the town, a spacious and magnificent mansion was brightly lit. A series of graceful figures, covered with gauze, singing and dancing back and forth, showing a scene of luxury and decadence.

The Lu family is the most powerful family in Luwang Town.

It is said that the ancestors of this clan were extremely glorious, and there was once a daughter who was named the Queen of Daxia. Later, during the Great Xia Dynasty, the queen fled to the border with the Liang Dynasty, settled here, and gradually prospered, causing this once unknown town to gradually prosper.

The so-called Luwang Town means "Lu's famous family".

For thousands of years, the descendants of the Lu family have firmly occupied this small town. The clan often sends some young disciples to gain experience in the official circles of the two countries, gradually forming a huge power system.

This family lives in the gap between the two dynasties. It is in a corner, but it cannot be ignored. There are more or less connections in the imperial courts of both countries. The current head of the Lu family is even worshiped as the first-rank left prime minister of the Great Xia Dynasty. He has great power in the Great Xia Dynasty and everyone. He is a real nobleman.

Therefore, the people in Luwang Town are in great awe of the Lu family.

For the entire town, the Lu family is like a local emperor. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. To a certain extent, almost 90% of the residents of the entire town serve this family, so these residents are also regarded by the Lu family. Treat your family as your own slaves or animals.

At this moment, in the Lu family's mansion, the older but charming Aunt Li was standing respectfully next to a pale, slightly chubby young man with a flattering smile on her face.

"Yes, that's right. Mr. Lu, that child's dream is as cute as a fairy in the sky. It has changed a lot compared to before."

"Oh?" The current second son of the Lu family's eyes lit up, "Today I heard from Butcher Wang that a fairy-like girl bought several kilograms of fine tenderloin from him. Could it be that Xiao Nizitong? Dream?"

"It must be so. As your second master, which girl in this town have you not seen? If a beautiful girl suddenly appeared, she must be from the Tong family!" Aunt Li's face said. She smiled as if she had seen a golden mountain, "The so-called female transformation, if you saw Tong Meng's current appearance, I'm afraid you would be shocked!"

"Well, Aunt Li, you have done a good job in this matter." Second Young Master Lu smiled slightly, "Second Master, I have no other hobbies. I just like to collect beauties from all over the world. No matter how beautiful the ladies are, ladies from famous families, or jaspers from small families, etc. I’ve played it all over, but this is the first time I’ve met a real fairy who practices immortality. By the way, I once remembered that the woman from the Tong family seemed to have had a marriage with us, right?”

"Second Master's memory is indeed very good! I was the one who arranged the marriage in person, and betrothed Tong Meng to a boy in your mansion. But now, with Tong Meng's appearance, that boy has been practicing for ten years. I'm afraid I won't have that blessing in my life, so it's up to the second master to enjoy it..."

"Hahaha! Okay, come here, give me a hundred taels of silver as a reward for my aunt!" Second Young Master Lu laughed loudly, waved his hand, and suddenly became heroic, "In addition, pass down the order to carry eight to three sedans. I have prepared all the six rites and so on! Tomorrow I will marry the concubine of the thirteenth room, and I have prepared three thousand taels of silver as a betrothal gift. Our Lu family is a person of status, and we cannot be said to be strong. Marry and plunder!

Tong’s courtyard.

Although he was in the woodshed, Chu Chen slept more peacefully than ever before. In this remote and quiet town, separated from everything in the sect, Chu Chen felt peaceful like never before.

After a deep sleep all night, when the rooster outside the town began to crow, a deafening sound of gongs and drums rose into the sky and resounded throughout the town, waking Chu Chen from his dream.

Just when I was about to go out to see what was going on, there was a sudden soft sound in the storage ring. I took out the communication jade and saw the red light flashing on it, showing the information of my junior sister.

After reading the message from his junior sister, Chu Chen's brows suddenly furrowed. ()
