“I’m telling you this because I trust you, Lord.”
Lu Sheng’s random words made Chu Sihan look at her in confusion.
He finally understood what she meant when she finished speaking.
“My master is not human. He is actually an old fox demon that has cultivated for a thousand years.”
Chu Sihan said, “…Fox demon?”
That was right. If ghosts and deities existed, why couldn’t demons become immortals?
“Pfft —”
Lu Sheng burst into laughter and bent forward and backward. “Lord, you really believe my words?”
Chu Sihan was speechless.
Not only was this girl a bit cute, but she was also a bit hateful.
“I was just teasing you!” Lu Sheng tried her best to suppress her laughter before saying, “My master is a cultivator, probably half a deity as he’s already more than a hundred years old. However, his appearance is as young as an adult.”
Chu Sihan frowned. “Why are you only a mortal when your master is a half-immortal?”
“Because my cultivation is shallow!” Lu Sheng snorted lightly and said, “He has been cultivating for a hundred years, but I have done so for only more than ten years. How can that be the same?”
She was not going to tell Chu Sihan the real reason.
The reason why she could not become an immortal was that she was born with a mortal body and could not perform spirit gathering. For this reason, her master had specially instructed her to cultivate talisman magic.
Speaking of which, she was also missing her master a little.
She did not know if that old man would scold her corpse “Serves you right” after knowing that she had secretly eaten good food behind his back and died from poisoning.
She felt that her master would do such a thing.
“It’s getting late.”
Chu Sihan stood up and said, “Stay in this room this morning and rest.”
He needed some time to digest everything he had seen and heard today.
Lu Sheng hurried up and asked, “What about you, Lord?”
“I have my own place to go.”
Under the flickering candlelight, his handsome face looked a bit absent-minded.
Lu Sheng nodded blankly and sent him to the door.
When she regained her senses, she was alone in the room.
The next day, Lu Sheng, who was used to waking up early, thought that she had already woken up early enough. She did not expect someone to wake up earlier than her.
When she saw the prepared carriages and Chu Sihan, who was having his porridge, she blinked and suspiciously looked up at the sky.
It was only five in the morning now, right?
The sun had just risen but they were already up?
“Miss Lu, you’re awake. Hurry up and eat your breakfast.”
When Chu Yun saw her approaching, he hurried to greet her warmly.
Ever since last night, Chu Yun had a better impression of Lu Sheng.
Chu Sihan looked up at her and gestured for her to sit opposite him.
Lu Sheng had just sat down when Chu Yun served her porridge and buns.
“Miss Lu, eat slowly. Let me know if these aren’t enough.”
“Thank you!”
After thanking her, Lu Sheng ate slowly.
Breakfast was accompanied by two plates of side dishes, salted vegetables and dried radish.
They were delicious and tasted quite well with plain porridge and buns.
After filling their stomachs, they sat for a while before setting off in a grandiose manner.
Lu Sheng had changed into a red s.h.i.+rt and taken off her draper hat. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and there were two strands of hair from her forehead. She looked beautiful and heroic.
As she rode alongside Chu Sihan’s horse, someone secretly asked Chu Yun about her relations.h.i.+p with Chu Sihan.
Chu Yun didn’t evade the question and replied that she was his lord’s fiancée.
Lu Sheng, who had good hearing, heard this and her mouth twitched slightly. However, she did not retort.
After all, she needed a proper ident.i.ty to travel with a bunch of men.
Everyone had already witnessed her skills in the inn yesterday.
Hence, after knowing that she was Chu Sihan’s fiancée, everyone was as respectful to her as to Chu Sihan.
