Post-Apocalyptic: Unlimited Resources, Neighbor's Wife and Sister Beg for the Door to Open

Chapter 233 My husband has taken a liking to me, let's take him with us! (Please continue reading)
Wen Lingbo's words were perfectly watertight.

This both flattered Su Baitao and her two daughters and revealed their connection to the royal princess.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be intimidated by this statement.

Unless one is a Celestial Realm expert, most Innate Realm martial artists would not dare to oppose a royal family.

Lu Zheng suddenly spoke up with a laugh:
"Alright, stop joking with the shopkeeper."

"The shopkeeper is indeed beautiful and I like her, but how could I do something so unreasonable!"

"Get the kitchen busy as soon as possible and serve the food."

Upon hearing this, Wen Lingbo felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly said:
"I'll go and urge them right away."

Watching Wen Lingbo's hasty departure, Tantai Huanyan and Su Baitao exchanged a glance and then laughed together.

Lu Zheng looked at the two women speechlessly and shook his head.

"I think you two are quite suited to be bullies who prey on men and oppress women."

Su Baitao said proudly:
"Doesn't my husband like it?"

"I saw my husband pause for a moment when that shopkeeper came out!"

"I've done so much to help my husband take a concubine, yet I haven't received a single good reward?"

"Could it be that he has found a new love and forgotten his old one?"

As she spoke, she even began to sob softly.

Lu Zheng flicked her forehead.

“Speak properly to me, you’ve really gotten into this acting.”

Su Baitao pouted, rubbed her forehead, and looked at Lu Zheng with a resentful expression.

Tantai Huanyan also smiled and said:
"This young lady is truly remarkable."

"If my husband takes a liking to her, I'll ask her what she wants, and then I'll take her with me when I leave."

Lu Zheng waved his hand and said:

"Do business first."

The food at Tianxianglou was indeed excellent; after everyone had tasted it, they left.

Shortly after they left, a scout delivered a message to Wen Lingbo.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she said softly:
"They actually went to Miaozhen Temple. Could it be that they're going to cause trouble for Taoyao?"

While Lu Zheng and the others were eating, she ordered her subordinates to search for any information about them, but they found nothing.

They seemed to have appeared out of thin air in the city.

Really strange.

"Continue to monitor them and report their movements as they go."

On the other side, Lu Zheng handed the letter from Master Yuanfeng to the cleaning servant of Miaozhen Temple. Not long after, a woman walked over quickly.

She wore a light gray Taoist robe, its hem flowing gracefully. Her hair was styled in a high bun, secured with a hairpin, with a braid hanging down on one side, giving her an elegant and dignified appearance.

Holding a whisk, his steps were light and quick, displaying a refined and otherworldly air.

[Ding! Survivor detected, in progress]

Name: Meng Taoyao

Age: 20

[Identity: First-rank martial artist, titled Chu State Guardian of Su Yuanhe and Master of Wonderful Methods, Abbot of Miaozhen Temple, disciple of Yuanfeng Zhenren]

[Evaluation: Calm and composed, naturally serene, charitable, knows when to advance and retreat, persevering, principled, and respectful of teachers.]

[Conclusion: Meeting the four requirements of 'virtuous and kind, beautiful and intelligent,' successful protection will grant a Superior Quality Unlimited Resources Card.]

The martial artists in this world progress slowly in their cultivation.

To become a first-grade martial artist at the age of twenty is absolutely top-tier talent, and there is hope that he will condense his golden core in the future.

Meng Taoyao's ability to reach her current position is beyond doubt.

Within the capital of a nation, the situation is turbulent and unpredictable. To be able to establish oneself here and maintain one's individuality is truly an excellent quality.

At least among Lu Zheng's women, many couldn't compare. Meng Taoyao, however, felt a little flustered.

In the handwritten letter from Master Yuanfeng, she claimed to have met a celestial master who said they were destined to be together. Master Yuanfeng hoped that she could strive to become the celestial master's Daoist partner and cultivate together in order to seek the Great Dao of Immortality.

At the same time, Master Yuanfeng repeatedly emphasized that she must treat the immortal master with the utmost respect, and that she could even be of a higher seniority than her master.

Meng Taoyao once doubted whether the handwritten letter was genuine.

However, the handwriting and the aura of a golden elixir belonging to Master Yuanfeng cannot be faked.

She was unwilling to become someone's Daoist partner.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng and his companions, especially after witnessing the appearances and demeanor of Lu Zheng and the two women, Meng Taoyao was taken aback.

It must be admitted that these three people do indeed possess an aura of transcendence.

She approached the group and bowed, saying:
"Junior Meng Taoyao greets Senior."

Lu Zheng was in a good mood when he saw the woman's face. Meeting two women who could open extraordinary resource cards in one day was quite pleasing.

"No need to be polite."

"I'm sure Master Yuanfeng has already explained to you what I'm here for."

"Please arrange some rooms for us; we'll stay here for the time being."

"Then you take Master Yuanfeng's handwritten letter to the palace and tell him that I want to discuss the Dao with the old emperor."

"I have a meeting with the old emperor in one hour. Go and make the arrangements!"

Meng Taoyao quickly agreed.

"Yes, I will go to the palace to deliver the message immediately."

"The food here is simple and plain, please don't take offense, senior."

"Senior, please follow me."

After arranging their rooms, Su Baitao and Tantai Huanyan left the Taoist temple and went shopping in the imperial city.

Lu Zheng didn't go with them; he used the time to study the cultivation methods for the Golden Core level of martial arts.

Moreover, Mi Jingchuan might agree to see him in less than fifteen minutes, at which point the deal could be completed as soon as possible.

Just as he had expected, a quarter of an hour later, someone from the palace came with Meng Taoyao to invite Lu Zheng to the palace for a chat.

In the letter Yuanfeng Zhenren wrote to Mi Jingchuan, besides mentioning Lu Zheng's identity as a celestial master, the most crucial point was that Lu Zheng was also a martial artist with a martial arts golden core.

That alone was enough to make Mi Jingchuan respond with a friendly attitude.

A moment later, Meng Taoyao led Lu Zheng into the palace. They hadn't gone far when they saw a woman running towards them.

She has delicate features, fair skin, bright and expressive eyes, soft lips, and an overall gentle and charming temperament.

She wore a light purple ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with wide, flowing sleeves and delicate floral embroidery. A matching belt was tied around her waist, highlighting her graceful figure.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with gorgeous gold hair ornaments, which were also decorated with tassels, making her look noble and dignified.

She was truly a pure and beautiful princess.

"Sister Meng, why didn't you come to play with me when you came to the palace?"

Mi Lu stepped forward and said with a smile.

Then she turned to look at Lu Zheng, a slightly shy expression on her face, and asked:
"My name is Mi Lu. You look unfamiliar, sir. May I ask your name?"
